*looks at SH minis body type* *looks at other minis body types* *repeats that 5 times*

I think Wizkids gave us an accidental win.

[doesthisbuttonwork]

I am such an idiot; I was wondering why the game chooses to use a spear when Shar's holy weapon is a chakram when Shadowheart literally pierces the side of a child of god with a spear if she goes Dark Justiciar.

Weatherman voice: Now let's look at the Arcane fandom. We have the-mafia-boss'-precious-criminal-daughter-who-had-a-bad-day aganist a-privileged-cop-with-fascist-tendencies-who-had-a-bad-day. I am predicting high toxicity levels in the upcoming weeks with a lot of anger remaining from the US elections. Don't forget to bring your umbrella if you go out to get your yaoi and yuri fanarts.

Flirting in the ex-engineer lesbian commune be like: Girl, are you a packet tracer? Because you are cis co.

what's the difference between an A Record and an AAAA Record? One's much scarier! Haha, just some engineering humour for you there. Actually A Records represent IPv4 addresses and AAAA Records represent IPv6 addresses. Anyway is anyone else feeling totally ready to leave civilisation and start afresh on a lesbian commune?

Genoge Shadowheart Animatic on youtube is the only thing that is keeping me sane this week.

MTG arts of BG3 Origins

I only put the ones with unique arts. There are a lot of versions with little changes to the lighting and names.

Astarion

Gale

Karlach

Lae'zel

Shadowheart

Wyll

[doesthisbuttonwork]

I just thought of something else I've been wanting to know: All of the origin-specific options for Gale's magic lesson, where he tells the viewpoint character to picture the concept of "harmony". For Karlach, it's "Mum and Dad dancing in the kitchen".

Sorry for the format. I was lazy.

[doesthisbuttonwork]

Hi! I'd really like to see origin-specific dialogues for what each character says when someone else is downed. I've heard a few of Karlach's (to Shadowheart: "Come on, fringe, back up with you!") and one of Astarion's ("Wyll you sweet fool, get up!") but I'd love to see all of them.

Thanks! I'm so glad someone's doing this.

Xbox really said "I am going to set Tumblr on fire".

[doesthisbuttonwork]

"The majority of fans have bad taste" Yeah, but consider this:

The majority of fans have good taste, but since they have good enough taste they stay away from sites like tumblr or reddit. That is why most people we see online have bad taste.

[doesthisbuttonwork]

Astarion fans don't get mad at me, but I find the insistence on giving Freudian excuses for his approvals/disapprovals unnecessary. I think most of the times he approves something because he thinks it would be funny and acting like he doesn't takes from his character.

[doesthisbuttonwork]

Since people are thirsting over Z'rell I'll add these two pieces: (yes, graphic design is my passion)

the conversation with Z'rell is so unironically hot, especially when you get a little lippy and she puts you back in your place and you're just like "sorry mommy"

transcript under cut

Zhara [Tav]: Show me the power She gave you. Disciple Z'rell: Oh, why not? What's the point in power if you don't get to have a little fun every now and again? *Her presence fills your mind, caressing, stroking, kissing... then clawing, biting, cutting.* *Your pulse races, your heart strains, then as suddenly as it began, the pain becomes overwhelming pleasure.* Disciple Z'rell: She gave me the power to delight with a thought - or to kill. So stay on my good side. Disciple Z'rell: And the best way to do that is to serve General Thorm. I have a mission for you. Zhara [Tav]: Oh, do you? Well, it so happens that I have a price. *You feel her presence in your head again. She grips your mind, squeezing until your vision blurs with pain.* Disciple Z'rell: The Absolute's blessings have a far greater value than any price you could name. Be wise - obey. Zhara [Tav]: Apologies. What do I need to do?

BG3 out of context Vol. 1:

[doesthisbuttonwork]

It changes in time but at the beginning their power levels were: Bane>Myrkul>Bhaal. There was a time when Bane was a greater deity.

But in the time BG3 takes place they are all quasi-deities. Which as the name suggest is the lowest at the divine ranking.

I am curious what players who don't know about the lore think.

[doesthisbuttonwork]

I'd get it if you are were talking about reddit. But saying there is more straight men than there is vampire lovers in Tumblr sounds weird to me. What you experienced is common thing for popular characters/ships that can be caused by 2 things:

It gets lost in the feed: In more active spaces your work has more chance to just get lost in the crowd at opposed to less active ones.

What I call "Picky eater syndrome": This more easy to explain in fanfiction. Let's say you are writing for fandom X that has 10k works and fandom Y that has 300 works. If you fanfictions both became popular that is good and the one for X probably got more interactions than the one for Y. But let's assume people wasn't really interested in your fanfictions. In this case the one for X would probably have more views than the one for Y(dependent one the difference between work counts of X and Y), but the for Y would probably have a higher kudos/views, comments/views ratio. The cause for this is people on the X fandom are more picky than Y. In Tumblr terms: More art a character has, people are less likely like/reblog an art that doesn't suit their specific tastes. Less art a character has, people are more likely to like/reblog because they can't be picky.

I hope I didn't offend you. I am just saying fandom spaces has the Laffer curve attitude.

With how much astarion is on my feed, it always surprises me how my shadowheart art always way outperforms my astarion art. Then I remember straight men play the game too.

You've probably seen this before but...

[doesthisbuttonwork]

Since this is almost over I’ll give my two cents.

Lae’zel: She wouldn’t laugh. But once she learned about it she would make dirty jokes with the most deadpan expression.

Gale: Most likely wouldn’t laugh, but some jokes can catch him off guard. He is not the one to make dirty jokes unless it has an elaborate reference that most people won’t get.

Astarion: Might seem like he would laugh at any dirty joke, but I think he would only laugh if it was a really good joke. If it is a bad one he will judge you. He constantly makes dirty jokes though.

Wyll: He loves jokes. He would totally laugh at a silly 69 joke provided it is the right time and place.(He is not gonna laugh if someone just got murdered.) Also he doesn’t laugh at “what she said” jokes. He does make jokes but usually not the dirty ones.

Shadowheart: This one surprised me. She loves stupid jokes and innuendos. Look at her Bhaal’s Temple banter with Gale. She would laugh at those jokes, and she would constantly make them.

Karlach: She would laugh. We know this. And unlike Wyll, she doesn’t care if it is the right time and space. She would laugh loudly first, and realize they were sneaking later. Might seem like the type to make jokes, but she doesn’t make that many in the game.

Sorry, but I need to know we all agree on this...
