Why I adore the idea of the Inquisition as extended family

[thecommandersinquisitor]

The inquisition as extended family to Cullen and the Inquisitor’s kids would be WONDERFUL I mean, ‘c mon:

• “BULL she is too young to drink don’t give her that!”
• Bull, I received a message from their school that a Qunari showed up to tell a bully that  ‘if they say one more bad word about ‘his friends’ that they’ll end up on the pointy side of a sword’. Seriously? You didn’t even ask me to come along?
• kids piggybacking on Iron Bull (plus points if their mom ever ‘rode the bull’ because puns which go right over those kids’ heads but not over Cullen’s)
• “THEY’RE ALSO TOO YOUNG TO JOIN THE CHARGERS KREM!”
  
• Leliana, I know you mean well, but stop gifting them daggers please because they’re leaving them all over the place and we nearly stepped on one yesterday.  
  
• What do you mean Leliana gave you a pet nug? Another one?
• LELIANA ARE YOU SERIOUSLY USING MY CHILDREN TO SPY ON US? IS THAT BY ANY CHANCE RELATED TO THE RAVENS CIRCLING THE HOUSE?
• *Dorian giving the kids fashion advice* *it results in the little ones showing up with fake mustaches which was not his idea but he is moved by the gesture* “They wanna be like you Dorian.”
• If any of the kids turns out to be a mage, Dorian’s becoming their mentor, point final. Vivienne takes over when he doesn’t have time for their lessons.
• (Dorian’d be the godfather of my Inquisitor’s kids btw. Hands down.)
• The kids hanging around with Cole, especially when teenagers, cause he helps them make sense of all that they’re feeling and what others are feeling. As a result they become super emphatic and understanding people.
• Cole loves how open-minded kids are and happily babysits whenever asked.
• Sera, Josie and Dorian teaching those kids to do and love what- and whoever they damn well please.
• Pranks with Sera, so many pranks with Sera. Cullen and the inquisitor know there’ll be trouble when Sera and the kids dissapear for a little while.
• Varric helping in teaching the little ones to read and write.
• Varric reading their works and giving pointers on how to make them better, encouraging them to keep writing and keep getting better at their craft.
• Little ones staring at Varric in awe over all of the stories, including of their parents ‘holding hands on the table’ (side-eyeing the inquisitor and cullen).
• Cassandra’d be their godmother and yeah she’d cry when asked.
• Cassandra teaches the kids to be true to themselves and if the kids don’t go to their parents, they go to her when something serious is happening
• Cassandra does mock-fights with the kids using wooden swords when their dad isn’t doing so.
• Cassandra teaches the kids eyeliner.
• She made them promise not to tell Varric about it, but when they’re grown up they discuss story lines and ships from Varrics books with her.
• (The kids low-key ship Cassandra and Varric cause reasons.)
• If any of those kids has diplomatic ambitions, Josephine will happily teach em the ropes.
• One of those kids is gonna be Josie’s plus one for some formal events.
• Josie is the one who brings the kids gifs, delicious foods from diplomatic trips mostly, and talks to them about the beauty and strength in diversity.
• Josephine and Leliana giving the small ones musical instruments cause #ex-bards
• Vivienne shows them how to look confident even when they don’t feel they have the upper hand.
• Vivienne entertains the kids with trivial magic tricks when nobody’s looking. When someone notices, she denies it and winks at the kids afterwards with a smile.
• “Mommy, daddy, I saw a wolf-elf in my dream last night and he told me he knows you!” *wide-eyed Cullen and Inquisitor cause oh shit*
