Guys…can we please discuss why there is a no gun sign on the fridge and why the hell the Normandy crew needs it there to begin with??? (My creds are on Wrex.)
Cause guns go in the freezer.
I feel like this originated with the SR1 back when weapons overheated all the time. Garrus, Wrex and Ash all sitting around in the cargo bay swapping ‘gun hacks’ and Garrus proudly explains how Solana told him once that you can rapidly cool down your overheated rifle in the freezer.
Ashley told him in no uncertain terms that he was a deadset idiot if he believed that. Wrex said nothing.
2 days later, the Normandy had to check into the Citadel for emergency repairs because Wrex thought Garrus’ sister’s ‘hack’ would be even BETTER if he tried it on the high powered nitrogen freezer in the Med Bay. The ammo block contracted so rapidly that it shattered and fragmented like a grenade.
After that, weapons were banned from going anywhere near freezers and warning stickers got slapped all over them in case anyone was stupid enough to try it again.
cullen: so, um, do you still have that lucky coin i gave you? inquisitor: of course, dear.
cullen: does it, ah, bring you luck?
inquisitor: maybe? cullen, what is this about?
cullen: well- i- can i just borrow it for a moment?
inquisitor: yes, but why would you need it back–
cullen: *gets down on one knee*
i think this scene offers a precious little peek into Cullen’s naughty nature, a facet which is—for whatever reason—gleaned over in his romance. Some writers tend to paint the man as some priggish virgin, but this demonstrates he’s accepting, if not amused by bawdiness.
I don’t know about gleaned over. The man does take you on top of his desk in a room with 3 unlocked doors and guards that seem to have no issue barging in. Or the very least gives zero cares over the fact there are also guards right outside his doors that can hear everything—maybe that’s why he isn’t worried about the doors being unlocked. Everyone can already hear what’s going on in there.
It’s probably pretty hard to live in Templar barracks for fifteen years without overhearing your colleagues. Not to mention mages who aren’t nearly as discreet as they think they are.
So maybe being loud isn’t a big deal for him.
I think you can argue that Cullen’s not priggish about sex so much as he’s concerned about being appropriate. He runs away from Amell/Surana because it would be wrong to get involved with her, and he stumbles over what to call the employees of the Blooming Rose because he can’t come up with a polite word for them (the term ”sex workers” presumably not being a thing in Thedas society).
If he’s repressed it’s because he’s kind of a loner. He worries a lot about whether his attentions are wanted and the Inquisitor is serious about him. Once he gets over his personal hurdles his, uh, directness shows that he’s probably give sex a fair amount of thought.
This exactly. Any unsureness he shows comes entirely from not being sure if his affections are wanted or returned. He’s not a blushing virgin…he’s just highly respectful, and fairly obviously doesn’t want anything with the Inquisitor to be just a fling. But once he knows that you do want him, and that you want it to be something that lasts, he’s kissing you senseless on the ramparts (with guards walking past, presumably pretending not to see anything) and making sweet filthy love to you right there on his desk.
On a related note, can you imagine the guards outside the tower?
“I have some reports for the Commander…” (Listens) “Um…is he…is that the Inquisitor moaning in there?”
(Tower guard) “Yeeep. You might want to hold off on delivering those for twenty minutes or so.” (More listening) “Maybe an hour.”
“Yeah. Good call. I don’t want to end up posted to the Hissing Wastes. Who won the pool, then?”
“Hicks and Rawlins. He had the day and she said the desk. Bastards. I was sure it would be the War Table.”
“Yeah, me too…”
(muffled screaming of Cullen’s name)
“…anyway, we still on for Diamondback after duty tonight?”
“Of course.”
What’s even better is how the gossip must travel to the camps below the keep.
By the time the rank and file hear about the Commander and the Inquisitor, the rumour is that they had a marathon night of passion that resulted in two fade rifts opening and fourteen separate temptations by desire demons.
This. This so much. I’m dying….
I’m not sure how the FUCK I missed this, but THIS. EVERY SINGLE BIT OF THIS. IT IS GOLDEN COMMENTARY. Cullen’s a private person, respectable, wants consent, does have a sense of humor, and I want a comic with the above dialogue XD
All I could think of when Matt did his romance cover/bishonen/ikemen (whatever you wanna call it) description of Percy during Smitten Scanlan-vision in the live game lol ^_^ It’s parts like this in CR that just remind me how much fun the cast has together, and that’s like 90% of what made it so great ^_^
