But this is how it must be.

People that don’t like the little bump on gortash’s nose don’t deserve him

'Let's hang out on Toril, maybe carve out new domains there as demipowers,' was probably Myrkul's idea. He was the one who spent his 'death' discovering that he actually enjoyed the mortal world, and if he jumps back into full godhood not only is he beholden to those laws he was enjoying escaping from, but due to loss of the portfolio of the dead to Kelemvor he would likely have to be subservient to another god while some kid wields all the power he once held. Nah, he's going to stand outside the box and have his fun unhindered and with no boss. Especially Ao, after the Incident. (I wonder if one of the reasons Myrkul Bey al-Kursi remained crown prince even in old age was because he disliked the responsibility tha came with kingship?)

Bane makes me facepalm, because this is a major demotion in power just to make sure nobody else can team up with his old adventuring party but him. Honestly, I think deep down he misses being human: he takes an active and personal role in the temporal world, develops fucked up attachments to someof his followers, and finds wonder in the intricacies of human biology (and that frightens him).

Bhaal hasn't got a lot of choice but to climb the divine ladder from the bottom, and I suspect he's mostly following Myrkul's lead (their 'symbiotic' friendship seems to be intact, or so I guess from Ed Greenwood mentioning 15th century Myrkulytes avoiding murder out of respect for Bhaal, suggesting to me that Myrkul warned them not to step on his stab-happy bff's toes). I think Bhaal hates this little adventure of theirs the most: he enjoys getting his hands dirty; but the world disgusts him; he got burned badly tying himself to the Material Plane in the Moonshaes, and the next time he was reduced to quasideity status was the Time of Troubles where he just wanted to fucking go home already.

A collection of my favourite Durgetash clips, including all the classics and also some rarer ones. These two evil bastards are so obsessed with each other.

Ayo gortash got me blushing at the club, wdym he rolled out the red carpets and made ME walk it to ambush HIS party as his super super vip guest. The city people lined up as the original chosen of bhaal walks amongst them... This. Everything. It is THEIR shared domination of Baldur's Gate. It's almost like a wedding.. here comes the bride (yes he expects big kisses at the end and all the praise for being housewife whilst partner was at war)

Some practice bc I forgot how to draw him

gortash + sarcasm | gif commissions

mutually abusive power dynamic durgetash/gortash gets his dick stepped on durgetash will always be great, but i also just love like. them being two lonely people who genuinely bring out something in each other that no one else can. the carnage & gore & general rancidity that comes w being an evil god’s chosen are all still there, but there’s also the genuine softness of two people who have never been loved in the way they need figuring it out together. i also just love the idea of the two most fucked up people ever being in a genuinely healthy relationship bc it’s funny to me. so bad together, but so good for each other.

[aureliaen]

what the fuck is his problem

[aureliaen]

i couldn't help myself, i coloured him and his amazing technicoloured drow cape

Lord Enver Gortash.

Every time Fenris did that jump move during a battle I felt like he was just going to keep ascending

I am an absolute hater of Gortash clothes and I won't draw all of that details
