Meanings
-
(slang) The ship of characters Dorian Pavus and the Iron Bull from the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Firstly, the game only hints at the Adoribull relationship and does not provide more than a dozen dialogue lines, which enables fan writers to develop this relationship freely and divert from the original storyline.
2018 April, Gaspard Pelurson, “Mustaches, Blood Magic and Interspecies Sex: Navigating the Non-Heterosexuality of Dorian Pavus”, in Game Studies, volume 18, number 1, unnumbered page:I personally, love Adoribull as a ship. I think it is one built entirely on mutual attraction and want, that develops into a proper romance.
