#reposting it because for some reason it just dissapeared from the tags

[lokorum]

headcanons my brain came up with after 2 days crying over the dark murrrge story

mb i'll add ketheric's "but can you call it teenage angst when you're 250 yo" thorn and gortrash's hcs at the end, as "from: me | to: me" bonus but who knows??

beware - spoilersss!! (｢• ω •)｢

btw durge's name is isa (he\they, ~78yo, high-elf (ignore the horns phphph)

before events of bg3:

● loves: snow, spicy-milk tea, sleeping in the high, secluded spaces. hates: shoes

● bad, just purely evil combination of being taciturn and looking directly at people’s eyes (quickly became one of gortash’s “favorite last resorts” to speed up negotiations) 

● cosplaying seagulls - moves through the city over the rooftops only, eats trash, steals fish and vegetables for fun. probably definitely took enver’s  “it’s much easier to find beauty in something, when you’re looking at it from the above” advice too close to the heart

● most people in the bhaal church are used to isa leaving and returning in secret. (they tried to ask them about hiddens paths (with zero success); they tried to convince sceleritas fel to ask them about hidden paths (with zero success); they tried to spy on them to learn locations themselves (with zero success and couple of too bold adepts lost to the undisclosed accidents); 

● it’s “you get what you deserve, not what you want” kinda church, mate

● braids corpse’s hair, hums lullabies to fading fireplaces, carves bhaal’s runes on the walls and makes stone bleed

● wild bitch attitude - can appear in the middle of an important ceremony, take the priest's place and kill sacrificed person slowly and meticulously just because 

● ketheric - depressed enthusiasm; isa - violent enthusiasm; gortash - my enthusiasm is way better than yours and deserves all of the attention but okay, i’ll give you like 5 minutes 

● traveled a lot before settling at baldur’s gate just to be disappointed in 20 different languages 

● crawls back to his beloved underground temple like a defeated cockroach because its +25°С outside

● "behind closed doors they perform rituals that make wind howl and ground shudder. after that, for a long while, the air is cold and knives are somehow feels sated"

● refuses to show enver location of the church, but not because of how sacred it is 

● warm lights, buzzing streets, cheerful, unsuspecting, delightfully naive people - when isa first time visited baldur’s gate - the city was almost welcoming. when years after orin threw them away like a useless toy, disposed of them, broke them - (cheerful, unsuspecting, stupidly naive) part of them couldn’t believe that it’s really happening

● “you are the flesh maggots adore” vibes all over this stinky place

enver's hc before bg:

● “NO. no! No. No. No-o-o. no-no. no. No.” - starts tapping his finger on the table - “Well, maybe…”

● has two sides, one of them is in a dire need of bible, and the other one is responsible for that damn wardrobe

● "my work schedule is too tight for you and your nonsense” @ spends all evening crying into a cup of wine 

● sometimes his selfcare routine is to make other people feel miserable in the most spectacular way. sometimes he just wants to be left alone in his evil-scientist laboratory. and sometimes - restless hands, red cheeks from too much wine, voice like he is about to share a secret - it's something different

● can come up with 10 ways to orchestrate someone’s downfall in 10 seconds and it's not even his best results 

● “i have no idea where you’re receiving your information from, darling, but it’s inaccurate” - smiles and stealthy kicks body back under the table 

● uses etiquette as a weapon. can't be scared by ten different knives, forks and spoons at the dinner table (when alone - eats using a single fork that he fetched from gods knows where)

● if he knows that a peaceful solution is not an option - deliberately creates an especially scandalous scene, just to feel what it's like, to stand above a pile of dead bodies of someone who dared to threaten him

● having loyal bhaal child looming nearby, ready to protect - spoiled him rotten

● im like 99,9% sure he is an adrenaline junkie (and during events of bg 3 he is either deeply addicted to having an "illusion of control" or trying to outrun 10 different ways to die horribly is his new hobby, idk)

Rainy day – arcane women x gn reader

Characters: gn reader with Vi, Caitlyn, Sevika and Jinx.

No warnings, just fluff. Things to do on a rainy day with them. This is the kind of stuff I write when I’m feeling gloomy.

Note: I might repost this once or twice if it doesn't show up in the tags. The issue where my posts keep dissapearing persists.

Vi – movie night

Vi doesn’t like the rain all that much. She can’t really go anywhere without getting soaked and she especially hates being mildly damp afterwards for the rest of the day. Rainy days are for spending indoors where it’s nice and dry.

She’s also not the type to bring an umbrella when it might rain. What if it doesn’t rain? Then you’re just carrying the stupid thing around all day for no reason. Thus, the poor umbrella is often left to gather dust at home.

The first time you’re both stuck indoors on a rainy day, she gets unusually excited. You thought she hated the rain, but suddenly she’s running around your home, doing what exactly?

Turns out she’s gathering snacks, pillows, blankets, drinks, etcetera. Asks you to please sit and stay put on the couch while she gets everything ready.

When she’s satisfied with her preparations, she’ll plop down beside you on the couch and wrap you both in a soft blanket. She’s got a huge grin on her face.

You ask her what’s going on and she tells you all about how she has been waiting for a day like this to spend with you. Just the two of you, sheltered from the rain in your home, snuggled up on the couch with enough snacks and drinks to last you a week. Nothing better to do than enjoy each other’s company and watch random movies until you fall asleep.

When she was younger, rainy days in the undercity were often spent like that too, albeit much simpler. Just one blanket and one pillow, only a small snack, no movies but maybe a fun book or some music to listen to. She has fond memories of those cosy days.

Her time in Stillwater ruined rainy days for her. When it rained, the water would just leak through the floors and the walls and make everything around her cold and damp. No blankets, no snacks, no soft pillows. No comfort.

Now, she wants to make new happy memories. Rainy days can be fun again, especially when you’re there with her.

After only 2 movies, she fallls asleep on you. The sound of the rain had proven to be too soothing, combined with the pile of pillows and blankets on the couch. And your presence, of course.

Caitlyn – watching the rain

(sorry but I couldn't not use that gif)

Caitlyn loves the sound of rain. When she was younger and it would rain, she’d get an umbrella and just walk around Piltover, enjoying the empty streets and the relaxing sounds of the city in the rain.

Unlike Vi, she’s the type of person to always bring an umbrella if there’s a chance it might rain. She doesn’t want either of you to get soaked. Especially you, because you always look so sad when you get caught in the rain.

On a lazy Saturday, you two were planning on going out in the afternoon. Some unexpected rain meant you sadly had to change your plans.

While you were racking your brains trying to come up with indoor activities (like going to coffee shops, cafés, the library), Caitlyn had already made up her mind. She wanted you to stay indoors and just enjoy the rain together.

She takes you up to her room and to the bay window she has, because of course she has a window like that in the big, shiny house she lives in!

You two make yourselves comfortable with some pillows and blankets and cuddle up to each other. It’s surprisingly cosy, but you have to be careful not to move too much or you might fall onto the floor.

You ask if she wants to put on some music but she declines. She says the sound of your breathing combined with the rain is the most beautiful sound and the only thing she wants to hear right now.

So you just lay there, arms around each other, watching the rain fall on the streets below. Listening to the drops hit the roof and the window.

It’s simple and it’s peaceful but above all, Caitlyn just loves that you are with her to enjoy it.

Sevika – sharing an umbrella

It had been a long day at work for you. Your feet felt sore and you just wanted to lay down and get some rest.

But once you open the door to go home, you realize it’s pouring outside. And you didn’t bring your umbrella. There was no way you were going to arrive home without getting all of your clothes completely soaking wet.

You just stare out at the streets for a moment, at the muddy puddles and water pouring down the roofs. Maybe to mentally prepare yourself for the dreadful walk to come.

But suddenly, you hear a short whistle to your right. You turn around and there she is.

Sevika, leaning against a wall, partially obscured by a shadow. Above her head, your other saviour: your umbrella.

She walks over to you, a light smirk on her face as she stands in front of you.

“You forgot this.” she says, holding the umbrella above the both of you.

Once the surprise wears off, you try and take the umbrella from her but she won’t let you. Instead, she places a hand on your back and guides you out onto the street, keeping you both dry with the umbrella.

“Let’s go home.”

She walks you all the way back home, expertly keeping you dry but getting herself a bit wet in the process. The umbrella just isn’t quite big enough to keep you both dry, but she tries her best.

People on the street turn to look at you. It makes you a little uncomfortable, until you realize they’re probably just jealous that they’re not getting escorted home by the scariest – and most beautiful – lady in the entire Undercity.

Jinx – getting soaked

Jinx loves the rain. Whether she’s indoors looking outside and listening to it or she’s outside, with or without an umbrella. She just loves the way the rain looks and sounds and feels. It’s refreshing, it’s exciting.

She might take an umbrella with her, but she probably won’t. She doesn’t mind getting wet, it’s all part of the fun. It’s like a shower, but everywhere at once!

So when you spend a day with her and it starts raining, you’re not surprised when she asks if you want to go outside with her.

You get ready to go out in the rain. Grab your boots, your raincoat, your umbrella. Jinx is already long gone by the time you’re ready.

So you go outside and close the door behind you, holding your umbrella so you don’t get too wet. You call out to Jinx, but you can’t see her.

Until she appears behind you!

And steals your umbrella. She runs away, encouraging you to chase after her.

You run through the streets of the undercity together, Jinx taunting you with your umbrella the whole time. The hood of your raincoat flies off at some point and your hair gets all wet.

Finally, you manage to catch her, but only because she let you catch her. You get the umbrella back from her, but she stops you before you can open it.

She asks you if you’re having fun. And yes, you are!

“Isn’t this fun? To just run around and get soaked? Doesn't if feel amazing?”

Then she grabs you by the hands and spins you in circles until you’re both dizzy.

You spend a bit more time outside together in the rain. And you get it now. When you want to get soaked, when you choose to do so, it’s a lot more fun than getting caught in the rain when you’re not prepared for it.

Notes: it’s not even fall yet and I’m already in the mood. Give me summer rain. I need it!
