Cullen Rutherford Fluff Alphabet
Note: I sometimes say “you” because it’s shorter than typing inquisitor constantly. This is also Gender Neutral. Please think about reblogging or at least leaving a like! This sort of thing takes time to create. Feel free to request more Cullen!
Tumblr media
A - Affection (how do they show affection to their s/o)
Cullen is new to love. Outside of his crush on Amell/Surana, he did not have any romantic feelings towards anyone. Love was terrifying but exhilarating at the same time. It was something entirely new and engaging and something that he would put his all into. He is very physically affectionate and primarily shows his love through embraces, kisses, and cuddling. However, he also allows the Inquisitor to vent or cry as much as they need to. He will also insist on shouldering whatever burdens they are struggling with, whether that's completing extra paperwork, scaring off those who want to bother them, or leaving behind little treats to cheer them up; he can do it all.
B - Best Friend (what are they like as a best friend?)
Cullen doesn't really consider himself to have many friends until Inquisition. In fact, the last time he had friends was Kinloch Hold before it went to hell. (However, this was only with his fellow templars.) Inquisition is when he meets Cassandra, Leliana, Josephine, and the rest of the crew. It took time for him to see them more than colleagues, but they found a devoted, loyal, encouraging friend in the former templar who continued on even when he was at his worst. As time passed, he began displaying a more relaxed side to him and joined in game nights and his time with people like Dorian. 
C - Cuddling (do they like to cuddle? And how would they do it?)
Oh, he loves to cuddle.  His family was very physically affectionate, but that quit once he joined the Templars. He didn't know how touch starved he was until he brushed hands with the Inquisitor and even more so when he held them for the first time. He hadn't allowed anyone near him since the fall of Kinloch Hold. Now, he can't sleep properly without holding the Inquisitor. Even if he can't sleep, his mind and body feel at peace in a way they never could before. 
D - Domestic (do they want to settle down? How good are they at cooking and cleaning)
His childhood dream was to be a templar. He never thought of any sort of domesticity. Templars rarely settled down. He never viewed himself as settling down during Inquisition, either, until he fell in love with the Inquisitor and only then did he dare to dream. After seeing what Mia has, he couldn't help but want the same. He wants a spouse, kids (or to be a busy uncle), and, of course, as many malbari as he can manage.
Cullen is not an amazing cook, but he's functional. Can he make basics like stew? Sure. Could he grill something? Sure. It's straightforward. Porridge isn't difficult either, but he's more likely to live off of rations. During Inquisition Inquisition, Cassandra made sure he ate at least twice a day. He is very tidy, but he has been known to be a disorganized type of organized, too.
E - Ending (if they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
We've actually seen this in the game! He tries to maintain an air of professionalism and keep it with a bit of distance. He will still try to maintain his professionalism if you break his heart, but the hurt might bleed out. He tries to use logic and put some distance between the two of you.  However, it also depends on the circumstances. He can be very gentle about it and very apologetic. 
F - Fiancé (how do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Again, Cullen didn't have any ideas of romantic commitment until they met the Inquisitor. We know he's incredibly devoted to the templars and the Inquisition, so he has no issue with commitment. However, once he fell in love, he fell in love hard. I don't think it took that long for him to start fantasizing about marriage, even if he was so sure it would never happen. Cullen would wait for the right moment, but it doesn't necessarily need to be planned, just that it feels right like we see in the game. 
G - Gentle (how gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
We've seen that Cullen can be incredibly tender and gentle. He especially appreciates having the ability and the safety to do so, emotionally and physically. He isn't ashamed of showing his gentle side - he cares for you more than anyone or anything else - but that doesn't mean he won't glare someone like Jim down if he tries to interrupt. The more comfortable he gets with you, the more likely you will see him become even more gentle. He is far more soft-spoken and sometimes even delicate in the way he touches you. 
H: Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
His hugs are bone-crushing but one of the safest feelings in the world. Some of his hugs can be quite gentle and tender like he's afraid he'll hurt you, but usually, they are more solid, as if he wants to cement you there.
I: I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Cullen feels it quickly, but that doesn't mean he'll say it. When he falls, he falls hard. He doesn't mean to, it's only happened once before and went horribly wrong. He'll try to deny it to himself, also going through self-doubt, thinking he isn't good or deserving enough to have that happiness, but he will sometimes pine for the Inquisitor. Once the Inquisitor is in a relationship with him, he is anxious about when to reveal his feelings, but he will do so in a quiet moment, like cuddling together in bed. However, he'd much prefer his partner be the one to say it first. 
J: Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)
As alluded to before, he has a lot of self-doubt and self-loathing as he questions whether he deserves love after everything he has done. Early in the relationship, it would hurt, but he would tell himself that you are making the right decision…but that doesn't mean he'll give up entirely. As he becomes more secure in the relationship, he is more likely to get jealous despite that security because he knows what the two of you have built. He is more likely to step in verbally or give some light PDA.
K: Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you?)
He kisses many ways, but they tend to be either tender or passionate. There's not quite an in-between. Expect a lot of stolen kisses, especially if the two of you have or are busy. He loves kissing on the hand, wrist, neck, and behind the ear, anywhere he can.
L: Little Ones (How are they with kids?)
Cullen feels very awkward around children. He's never disliked them, and he was a good brother to his siblings. Some of the younger templars looked up to him during training. However, after becoming a templar, he sort of "lost" his ability to relate to children. He's kind but stiff around them. Sometimes, he could briefly imagine having a child or two of his own, but that was always a fleeting thought. It wasn't until meeting the Inquisitor and reconnecting with Mia that he truly wondered about having a child. He wants it, whether through birth or adoption, but he would never force the Inquisitor into anything. 
M: Mornings (How are mornings spent with them?)
Cullen gets up early. He usually has his armour polished and on, training completed, and reports from the night before reviewed by 7:00 am. He often forgets to eat breakfast or munches on rations or jerky. Cassandra, Leliana, Josephine, and now the Inquisitor all make sure he eats breakfast.
You're a "bad" influence in that he wants to sleep in or stay in bed and cuddle longer. His new time to complete his routine is a whopping…..8:00 am. Since leaving the Inquisition together, he sleeps a bit later but still prefers to wake up early. 
N: Night (How are nights spent with them?)
That man does not sleep. He just doesn't. It's like it's a foreign concept to him. However, it is not all workaholic tendencies. Sometimes, it's to avoid the nightmares he's had for well over a decade. Other times, the lyrium keeps him awake. Even when you pursue a romance with him, he struggles to stay in bed only because he can't shut his mind off, but a nice massage, cuddles, and or sex tends to quiet those thoughts. Otherwise, he's content watching over the Inquisitor.
O: Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Cullen is extremely private about himself. He reveals things incredibly slowly, but sometimes, his most personal moments come out at the most inopportune times when he doesn't have a choice but to reveal them, as seen with his lyrium addiction or his nightmares. These moments are incredibly frustrating to him, and he detests them when they happen. That's why, despite his discomfort, he is telling himself that he must be far more open and communicative so he has power over what to share, what not to share, and when to do so.
P: Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Believe it or not, Cullen can be irritable and angry. Most of it is the lrium, but he holds everything inside of him until eventually, it comes out whether he wants it to not. Usually, it's a whole series of events that cause him to eventually snap, but it is possible for something triggering to cause him to explode or shut down.
However, he is incredibly patient in most situations, but he is not perfect. He will not tolerate many things, as seen with some of the more annoying chantry members in DAI. 
Q: Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every detail in passing, or do they kind of forget? )
Cullen sometimes struggles with his memory due in part to the lyrium but more so because he has so much on his mind. However, he will make you a priority above all else. Unfortunately, he punishes himself if he forgets or gets something wrong. Overall, he commits everything he can to memory, and as his lyrium cravings subside, he is more clearly able to remember things. He wants to know everything you're willing to share, whether it's your birthday, favorite color, favorite food, best battle tactics, or favorite ways to turn you on.
R: Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
It's a difficult memory for him, but the relief he felt when the Inquisitor revealed they still cared for him despite his lyrium addiction and his trauma. It's not the most romantic memory, but it is a meaningful one. More positively, he loves how he surprised you with that first kiss on the battlements… until Jim interrupted. The morning after he and the Inquisitor slept together was also dear to him. 
S: Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
We know and have seen how protective Cullen is. He is ready to give up his life at a moment's notice if needed, especially if it's for the Inquisitor. He was willing to leave the Inquisition because he felt he was a liability to it and the inquisitor. He is incredibly selfless and self-sacrificing. He's also not afraid to voice his opinion in defense of his partner. As for him, he doesn't really expect anything in return. However, he already thinks you protect him by looking out for his well-being, whether it's the lyrium, his anxiety, eating, sleeping, etc. He also greatly appreciates it if you speak up in defense of him for whatever reason, but he never expects it.
T: Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, and gifts?)
After much worrying, he would fret about it and might turn to someone like Josephine for help or even Varric, Dorian, or Leliana. However, he is capable of giving gifts on his own, planning outings, as seen with the lake and giving his lucky coin to the Inquisitor. He definitely tries, but he's always worried he'll fuck it up somehow.
U: Ugly (What would be a bad habit of theirs?)
He does have a temper and when hurt, he can lash out. We've seen this when he threw his lyrium kit against the wall, nearly hitting the Inquisitor. However, he works very hard to keep control of it. His anxiety and self-doubt can also be a problem, but again, he tries to hide these feelings as best as he can.
As for an actual habit, his pacing and constant movement can be anxiety-inducing to some. His office has a pacing track on it. 
V: Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
He knows he's handsome. He sees the way people look at him and treat him. He's not stupid. We know he styles his hair, but I think PART of that is due to some insecurity about his curls. Other than that, he focuses on the upkeep of his armor, but that is habit and perfectionism. Besides his hair, he doesn't spend much time on his appearance.
W: Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
He would convince himself that he would. He never expected you to return his feelings, but he knows he would be crushed if you ever left him. He would respect your decision but doubt that he'd ever feel whole again as he'd be unlikely to trust himself with another partner.
X: Xtra (A random headcanon for them)
Cullen secretly has a sweet tooth, but he doesn't want anyone to know that. Still, he wouldn't mind being given sticky buns or a pastry. (He's lying. He will devour them.)
Z: Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
We know he mumbles, tosses and turns, and has nightmares and insomnia. The poor guy has it all. However, he also sweats and overheats easily. This all improves as the lyrium addiction subsides. However, one thing that does not change is that he overheats easily…………………………….but still wants to cuddle. Once he has his arms around the Inquisitor, good luck getting up.

God, poor Mia tirelessly searching for her brother for two years after nearly all of the Circle was destroyed 😭 I wonder how much the average Fereldan citizen knew about what happened there. Did she think he was dead? An abomination? Destroyed in the Blight like so much of the rest of the country? How many Templars did she have to cajole or intimidate to get even the slightest answer? No wonder she took Cullen to task when she finally tracked him down in Kirkwall. She probably had to move heaven and earth to get even that much.

The finale of “‘Til Winter’s End”, the first arc of my ongoing “While Time Remains” post-Trespasser series, is now up!
After months of idling in the pristine countryside of Ferelden, it's finally time for Theresa and Cullen to leave. With them comes Rosalie, who was left with the unenviable task of breaking the news to Mia. And if that wasn't enough, the Rutherfords have one final surprise in store for them.

The Rutherford siblings
“Cullen was the second oldest of four. Mia was his elder sister, his brother Branson was younger, and his sister Rosalie was the youngest of them all. Before their father Stanton had gone white at the temples, he had been flaxen and fair, a trait Cullen and his siblings all shared. Their eyes were their mothers however, Lysa Rutherford had been dark of eye and dark of hair, with high cheeks and a toothy grin. Branson and Rosie took after their mother the most, while Mia and Cullen were their fathers double. Yet none could deny the thread of genetics that strung them all together, for each were beautiful and bright and golden as their hair.”

Ages at Death for CV Cast....According to Lea
Because fuck the canon and the unwritten rule that characters can't be over 30 per most forms of media. Louis Amamiya Canon: 20 Headcanon: 21-23 Reasoning: Honestly I'm fine with canon, give or take a few years. Early 20s matches his appearance and personality fairly well. Yakumo Shinonome Canon: 22 Headcanon: 25-28 Reasoning: I put Yakumo as slightly older than the canon because both appearance and personality wise, it seems that he has escaped that "new adult" phase though just barely. Mia Karnstein Canon: 18 Headcanon: 15-17 Reasoning: I'm gonna be real, I'm not the greatest fan of Mia's design. There is something... scummy about how she is portrayed as "looking underaged but trying to look older" that I struggle to look past. I kinda feel the "but she's 18!" was slapped on to not get the side-eye from the western audience. I understand that there are folks that look like teens but are actually adults, but she also acts like a teen in a lot of the scenes so yeah.... I struggle to see her as the same age as canon Eva which we will get to in a second. Jack Rutherford Canon: 22 Headcanon: 35-39 Reasoning: Banco, are you off your fucking nut? How the hell am I supposed to look at Jack and accept that he is the same age as Yakumo?! He definitely feels late 30s both physically and mentally versus early 20s. Eva Roux: Canon: 18 Headcanon: 30-33 Reasoning: Same as with Jack, I am questioning the dev's sanity. If kept to canon ages, she would be the same age as Mia. I've seen some say that Mia's life and being fed on by revenants as a human aged her rapidly which I'm not disputing I'm just.... 18 though? She feels closer to someone in their 30s. Io Canon: Unknown Headcanon: Io is Io Reasoning: Attendants are odd to begin with and Io is odder by far. I definitely say the marketing team had a hand in Io's physical appearance but mentally, Io feels closer to a child... albeit a rather strange and anomalous child. !!Special Mention!! Oliver Collins Canon: N/A Headcanon: 22-25 Reasoning: not much to go on for this poor guy as the plot decided that he needed to be fridged at the starting gate. I feel early-middle 20s is a good spot for him.

“see this? there’s your name written on it.”
Super fast mini character ref for (final boss*) Mia. I was researching historical clothes for a project when I had a sudden mental image of her dressed like a contadina veneta so I needed to bring this to light
(*) this most fitting description is borrowed from @greypetrel
