a little morning pick-me-up
-
A morning on the way to Baldur's Gate. The party booked themselves into an inn and enjoyed real beds, hot baths, and privacy for the first time since the Nautiloid.
Gale and Mayhew shared a room, of course. They were filled with the relief of surviving the shadows and the glow of finally getting together, so their private room was probably a blessing for the whole party, honestly.
-
This was some ascended anatomy practice! Referenced some great stock from @null-entity.
#some people speed run the galemance but i played it as the world's longest slow burn#act 1 was fuuull of uneven feelings and perceived unrequited feelings and slow-building respect#mayhew was immediately down bad & suffering after the weave scene. Plus Gale's lukewarm reaction to flirting felt like people-pleasing#gale slowly emerged from his depression hole much later and only then caught real feelings - but the orb put paid to acting on them#so in my game they simply had a very loaded laden-with-unspoken-feelings friendship until near the end of act 2#they got like one (1) week of happiness before the horrors of act 3 hit. starting with Mayhew getting unwillingly astral tadpole'd#it's tragic and i love it#also: chubby gale. tumblr do you see my vision#mayhew sees my vision#please also appreciate mayhew's bed head and the too-big-for-gnomes dishware. i chuckled about those#my art#mayhew#gale dekarios#gnome tav#gale x tav#bg3#baldur's gate 3

realised i haven't really posted a proper pic of my durge. so here's Tavis/Noon :} she fluctuates between being a menace of macabre whimsy and a menace with hubris burning like a thousand suns
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#durge#from the start of the game til the end of act 2 she's called tavis (given name) bc she forgot she'd used to go by noon#but then she picks it up again#(i haven't decided for 100% but for now i hc she finds some letter(s) ft. the name and recalls it was her)#i call her both bc honestly i'm not sure what she's gonna end up with and they're both her to me!#anyway she wants to be a god so bad fr. that will def not bring her or anyone else any further trouble ever#:)#i also love her so much it's a bit embarrassing#oc: noon

#- rubbing my hands together - welcome to the tags#Obviously the game was prioritizing Gale in this interaction bc it's his story and that's who Larian wrote#BUT NOT ME BAYBEEEE THIS IS CROISSANT'S TIME TO SHINE and be an excellent foil to his character#I DUNNO I just really liked playing a character who also has a buckwild amount of insecurities about this relationship -#- but in a very different flavor. I've loved keeping that in mind as the romance plot plays out.#As much as I appreciate the constant validation you give Gale from in-game dialogue bc he needs that-#-I also like holding up Croissant like a mirror to get him out of his own head.#AGAIN THIS CHARACTER WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR ME NGJKFLNDKH I love this game#Anyway now we get to grapple with Gale talking to Mystra :''''''')#bg3#baldur's gate 3#bg3 spoilers#act III spoilers#gale romance spoilers#croissant adventures#tav#gale#gale dekarios#gale x tav#breadweave#comics#I think this 6-pager was the first time I felt like I had a handle on drawing Gale btw that man is an artistic enigma#ADDITIONAL EDIT: thank you so much for your responses on part 1 you are all wonderful folks - esp the ones mad that I made this 2 parts LOL

Gale finally confessed in my BloodWeave run and now Astarion is demanding good morning kisses every time he wakes up, good night kisses before going to bed and good luck kisses before every big fight
#personal#bg3#baldur's gate 3#bg3 astarion#bg3 gale#bloodweave#am I the one making Astarion ask for kisses?#yes#am I gonna act like Astarion is doing that of his own free will without me the player controlling him?#also yes#every time they talk I feel like I'm watching a fanfiction and I'm loving it#as soon as I learn how to get all my bloodweave screenshots from the steamdeck to my phone I'm gonna share some kisses

im obsessed with the title of this inspiration you get for saving minthara with an urchin origin.
shes an apostate twice over. shes been abandoned by her gods/rejected her faith twice. she's lost her sense of purpose, and her home, twice. she didn't think anyone would come for her. but you did. when everyone had abandoned her and she'd lost everything and given up on any chance of being saved, you did.
of course the urchin, the easily forgotten, gets inspiration from saving her. if we hadn't, she would've been forgotten in our crusade against the absolute. but she's not, because we saved her.
#baldur's gate 3#minthara#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3 tav#tav x minthara#tagging it as their romance cause im . obvs romancing her#im just. i love this so much.#'rescue minthara from her captors' really does sum up whats going on with her and the absolute like. she doesn't follow them willingly#you're saving her from what could've easily been your fate if not for the artifact#i love her character so much#i love her dynamic with tav#even if you're rescuing her having not had her romance scene in act 1 the dynamic is still so good#you're still saving her when she didn't think anyone would. whats more you have no reason to if you didnt get her romance scene#but you do#and she owes you more than her life#gonna go lie down for a bit

few things are as evil as larian studios making me (playing as spawn astarion) look karlach in the eye and promise to be there when its time for her to go, knowing damn well that i cant do anything to save her
#the order of events post elder brain defeat is DIABOLICAL#in my first pc astarion run it didnt occur to me that you cant save karlach at all if he remains a spawn#bc he has to run away from the sun before her death/avernus scene#and the pc HAS to be there for you (or wyll/both) to offer to go to avernus with her#and oh boy did i fucking cry my eyes out#you cant do this to me larian i LOVE HER#bg3#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate iii#bg3 astarion#bg3 karlach#astarion ancunin#karlach cliffgate#astarion#karlach#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#act 3

A Deal with God (Post-Ending Durgetash Fanfic)
CHAPTER TWO - THE REUNION

Enver re-entered his body screaming.
As The Dark Urge listened in transfixed stillness, his screams gradually changed into a strange and discordant mixture of laughter and sobs, and all she could think was that she’d heard that sound before.
But she couldn’t place it until a series of sensuous fragmented memories crashed into her mind—the damp stone walls of an underground dungeon, the thrust of steel as it penetrated flesh, the tantalizing ferrous scent of fresh blood, an influx of saliva pooling in the bottom of her mouth, and the howling keen emanating from the pile of meat in front of her. Then came the feeling of satisfaction. The knife clattered to the floor, and as she wiped her mouth, she heard the sound change.
It was the sound of a torture victim who’d been offered a moment of reprieve, and the only coherent thought she could form in the mangled, macerated caverns of her brain was that that sound should not be coming out of him.
She couldn’t say exactly how long the sound continued, but eventually she became aware that it had stopped, and that his eyes, which had been alternately twitching and rolling backwards into his head, had refocused. He was looking at her.
She became aware of what she must look like, standing stock-still and staring at him in paralyzed silence, but she could rouse herself to neither speech nor movement.
Slowly, he sat up, supporting his unsteady balance by spreading his hands flat on the rock’s surface. He looked around, taking in the sizeless expanse of the Astral Prism. His gaze seemed to sharpen. “How long?” he asked.
“How long…” She didn’t immediately understand the question.
“How long was I dead?” he repeated, over-enunciating each word impatiently.
The twinge of annoyance that caused within her brought her fully back to herself. “Less than a day,” she said. “Maybe slightly more. I lost track of time during the battle.” She glared at him pointedly. “You’re welcome, by the way. For your life.”
He stood, wobbling slightly but catching himself and righting his posture quickly. He walked towards her, stopping when there was only a few feet of distance between them, and met her gaze evenly. “Thank you,” he said, without a trace of sarcasm. “For my life.”
The Dark Urge found it suddenly difficult to maintain eye contact.

#durgetash#bg3#the dark urge#enver gortash#a deal with god: a baldur's gate 3 fanfiction#i ended up writing this very differently than i was initially conceptualizing#because the more i thought about it the more i realized he would definitely see this as a victory#like yes she's the chosen not him but she's worshiping his god specifically because of him & she brought him back when she didn't have to#and if he's alive he has a chance to rise again especially considering canonically bane is totally fine with more than one chosen#also yes he was tortured but it was only for a day instead of for eternity there's no way that's not a win#and considering this is far from his first time being tortured i think he'd recover just fine#especially since it's canon banites use torture to punish each other all the time and submit to it willingly like it's all just normal#you could argue maybe bane would be exceptionally good at torture and you could argue maybe he doesn't like having had to be rescued#but it's also super easy to read that as a win for him. he left behind an ally loyal enough to finish his plans & bargain on his behalf.#i also think the most enduring part of his personality is he's so hard to discourage. he has insane mental fortitude. and hope.#it is really hard to kill his sense of hope i think#not in the same way as hope from the house of hope but in a ruthless selfish way#but i also think durgetash kinda sees their love as the ultimate act of selfishness actually#i also always saw bane as exceptionally intelligent and strategic (a lot of that is based on earlier editions of d&d to be fair)#(i don't play 5e i play almost exclusively 3.5e)#(so if they've changed a lot about his basic personality i wouldn't know)#anyway i think he'd be just fine with the two of them doing whatever to each other as long as they stay loyal to him and keep winning#and why wouldn't they if he lets them have what they want?#it literally just... works#like in a way i don't want it to work so well because i want story conflict but it really just works haha#anyway the conflict will come from the entire rest of the world

I’d love to know questions #11 (go-to comfort food) and #20 (relationship to touch) for Elenion! :D I just read his bio and they sound super cool. astronomer mom ftw
(this is the main blog of @ranger-jahen!)
ahh thank you so much! i wrote all that info about them ages ago but was too nervous to post it until recently so i'm glad to know people appreciate him lol.
(for this ask meme)
11. What is your Tav’s go-to comfort food?
Elenion tries not to eat too many sweets because he knows it's bad for him, but... it's chocolate. The smell of chocolate just makes their self-control evaporate. Especially warm chocolate croissants that remind them of visiting quiet, cozy cafes and taking a moment to just relax, or hot chocolate that reminds him of home.
20. What is their relationship to touch? Do they shy away from it? Do they need it to feel present?
I answered this one here!! Spoiler alert: He's a disaster of a person and this was a great question for him because it's something I think about a lot lol.
#asks#fihyn#oc: elenion silverdew#baldur's gate 3#ty again!! your tav also seems very cool#gonna hide a little secret in the tags:#i decided elenion liked chocolate because he's partly inspired by uh. elsa from frozen.#and she loves chocolate LOL#that's also why i changed his hair from an updo in act 1 to down and braided in act 2 to fully loose in act 3#i may or may not have been channeling elsa when i decided to do that

My partner finally finished BG3 but has no idea that his ending was actually bad cause he was a pro-Vlaakith githyanki who rode off with Lae'zel but got NO EPILOGUE where Withers points out y'all died im 😭😭😭
they have no idea what happened with Gale or anyone else (who was still alive) after flying away 🙃🙃🙃
#i cant even tell him cause hes gonna play again more “normally”#its so tragic he would like skip dialogue and just fight to get the jump on boss battles instead of waiting for the cutscenes to start#and he didn't exhaust dialogue trees!! like... how... why...#and also he staked Astarion 😭 and p much never reloaded#and didn't clear the shadow curse so no Halsin#also everyone at Last Light Inn died so Dammon was gone and Karlach only got 2 upgrades#and he didnt know moonrise towers was basically a second town#and his game was buggy a lot maybe? cause he kept trying to be hella creative with things and do things out of order#like killing gortash before doing steel watch 🙃#it's fine it's fine everyone plays differently#he tends to care more about gameplay than anything else but still!!#i just want him to know all the character backstories and see everything that made me emotional#i mean he did say he was sad when Lae'zel broke up with him in act 3 and when Karlach died and when he had Gale use the orb in act 2#which he considered his canon ending :/ sigh#i dont think he got Jaheira's lines about death#and he didnt understand why Karlach wouldn't go back to the hells#and he thought Wyll was happy being the duke (and has NO idea you could save his dad cause the mission didn't happen!! 😭)#the iron throne was like my fave mission outside of killing Cazador and I can't discuss either one cause he didn't do them properly yet 😭😭#he also avoided talking to children so he missed those quests and yenna glitched so no cat appeared in camp 🙃#sighhhhh cannot believe he plays so differently than i do lollll#he didn't even do unlimited kisses with Lae'zel!! meanwhile im over here kissing Astarion every night hahahah#hoping my partner doesn't see IRL if I have the office door open as if it matters lmfaooooo#i need him to play again and see why im in love with a video game character lol#maybe we could both um... benefit from knowing more about all of Astarion's scenes lmao#but like he has NOT SEEN Astarion's silly or sweet side yet just him being a bit of a chaotic vampire#and thinks i like him cause of vampires WRONG!! play the game again and see that i love his silly & sweet real self!#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3#baldur's gate 3
