Aveline might have thought of Cullen as one of her closest friends if not for the troubling secret they shared.

Round up of things in my Tumblr (for my reference more than anyone else, but you might find it interesting too):

 

Meta & Headcanon (mine and other people's) 

• Why Elthina does not represent the neutral middle ground
• The Counter-Manifesto: How Mages are Destroying Thedas, and What This Could Mean for DA3 by bellisadinosaur with commentary from minorearth and myself plus more comments from flutiebear and sven'harel
• Meredith, Anders, and On the Loose
• What my Surana and Alistair did for fun in camp (I'm not the OP, really!  But, uh, yeah, my Surana/Alistair had some serious mage/templar kink going on once the infamous lamppost was finally licked. >_>)
• Brief bit on how Cullen and Anders could have been the Morrigan and Alistair of DA2's main plot. 
• Huge amounts of audience reaction versus cranky meta regarding Cullen and the debatable creepiness factor
• Anora doesn't betray you, you betray her (redux) with link to Border House's great Anora essay
• My potentially controversial comments on what constitutes as a socially just ending for DA2 and Anders (redux)
• Greagoir and Irving headcanon
• mage!Hawke and Leandra headcanon convergence
• Anders and Karl headcanon and canon analysis thread
• Bergan headcanon

 

Pitting my OTPs against each other:

• Aveline/Wesley vs Aveline/Donnic
• Hawke/Cullen vs Warden/Cullen  (related: cityofexiles makes amazing Amell/Cullen machinema)
• Greagoir/Irving vs Orsino/Meredith & Cullen/Surana doesn't equal Cullen/Amell
   

 

Goodies & Lulz:

• FFXII: The Day of Its Birth Cry (Chapter 1, translated from Japanese in the FFXII Ultimania Omega - details the destruction of Nabudis and the Mist attack)
• Writing Advice from Kurt Vonnegut
• Running Around the World (geocultural lulz)
• Taking Cullen to the Blooming Rose (vaguely not safe for work due to underdressed worker in the Rose)
