🍷 a character i want to write but never made a blog for/added to the roster

MMMMMH that's a good question! I considered writing Davrin when Veilguard came out, but I ended up choosing Neve because I felt I would write her better! Zevran is also a character I'd love to write because he's my favourite Dragon Age companion after Fenris.

🔑 my favorite type of threads

I love to have my characters FEEL something when I write, no matter what it is. And I love to feel something too when I write, so anything that is emotional is always fun for me to write! The length of the threads don't really matter to me. As much as I love long threads, I'm always much slower to replies to these because I don't always have that much time to write unfortunately, but I still really like them!

🍄 my favorite original character blog

MMMMMH I don't know, I really like many of them and I'm always scared to forget someone when I answer such a question... I don't think I have a favourite one 😂 I'm very lucky because I follow a lot of people who are writing player characters from BG3 or Dragon Age series, and they all bring so much dept to their characters. It's just so fun to see that and I absolutely love writing with them :3

🌸 the blog/s that most inspires me

Once again it's hard to answer this because I love everyone I'm writing with. I think they all bring so much dept to their characters. Everyone I'm writing with inspires me in their own way. I'm always happy to write with them, it gives more dept to my characters too through these interactions!

🍷 a character i want to write but never made a blog for

MMMMH good question! Probably Kain Highwind from Final Fantasy IV. I absolutely adore him, and he's so interesting and complex, but there's almost no FFIV blogs out there, so it would surely make things harder!

☎️ my first character i ever roleplayed

On a forum, a Pokemon trainer. She was an OC and her partner was an Eevee! I had lots of fun there! If we're speaking on tumblr, I think it was Celes Chere from Final Fantasy VI!

⭐️ my roleplay pet peeves

Being pressured to reply quickly or guilt tripping in general or manipulative behaviour in general. We're just here to have fun, so I don't want to feel stressed or pressured because of roleplay. Also: assuming I agree with fandom headcanons, especially the ones that are popular on Tumblr, but that have nothing to do with canon.

🖼 my favorite types of characters

I don't know if I have a type in particular! I think I love multiple kinds of character, but maybe they all have some kind of tragic stories or backstories hfghdf 😂 I love complex, multifaceted characters because it gives me a lot of interesting layers to work with.

🎾 what type of genre of roleplay i prefer to write

I love to FEEL when I write, so I guess emotional threads will always be among my favourite. Deep heart to heart conversations, the characters opening themselves when they're clearly not used to, it's something I just adore! But I love writing pretty much any type. I love silly threads too sometimes because they make me feel relaxed. Heartwarming threads are fun too, and angsty too! I love many things!

🐠 why i love (or hate) this hobby

I love this hobby because it allows me to spend more time in these universes I love, writing characters I love and expanding them. And it's something I can share with other people who love these universes and characters, so it makes things even better :3

🦄 the best thing that's happened to me in roleplay this year

I think it's about Cass! She's surely not the only BG3 player character out there or the only dark urge character, but I feel like people like her and want to write with her, so I'm very happy about this because I had so much time playing her in my actual BG3 playthrough. I played the game a few times after her already, and she really is my favourite character I created for BG3, so I'm glad I added her as a muse and I'm even happier to see that you guys love her too 🥰

🦁 my favorite ships

I like many ships, but I'll talk about the muses I have on this blog!

Astarion: With Tav/Durge of course, but I really have a soft spot for Astarion and Durge. I just love how much these two support each other and come to care deeply for each other. As for the companions, I don't really know, but in my Astarion Origin playthrough I romanced Shadowheart and it was very cute! They have a lot in common too.

Cassandra: With Astarion obviously as I just said. He's the one I romanced in her playthrough and I think Durge/Astarion makes so much sense, it's beautiful! But I would love to see how it goes with other companions, too. I'm open to it. Gale could be fun especially given the fact that she's a sorcerer and he's a wizard 😂 Shadowheart too with both of their memory loss! But any of the other companions would be fun to try!

Shadowheart: I have a soft spot for her with Tav/Durge of course because her romance in the game is very cute! With a Cleric of Selune it's wonderful. I like the tension hehe! But I also like her with Karlach because of that comment Shadowheart does when she first met her, like she's already impressed 😂

Fenris: HAWKE. MAGE HAWKE. ON THE FRIENDLY PATH. I just absolutely love these two, it's my favourite Dragon Age romance, so of course, it's what I prefer for Fenris 🥰 I'd love to write him with Isabela too because of their banters in the game, I'd like to see how it goes! And Bethany could be an interesting option too.

Neve: With Rook obviously because her romance is very sweet! For the angst, Rook who saved Treviso makes things even more interesting. But I'd also enjoy writing her with Lucanis of course because what we get in the game isn't much tbh. And I think she'd be cute with Davrin and Bellara too. I'm open to many things for Neve 😂

Thalia: With Solas because she romanced him in my playthrough and it's just so damn angsty and touching at the same time! I'm emotional about these two 😭 But I also absolutely adore Cullen/Inquisitor and he's the one I've romanced the most, so I'd love to see Thalia with him too. He's so precious!

❤️ my first roleplay memory

It was on a Pokemon forum like 15 years ago 😂 My character was a female trainer who had an Eevee as her partner! I had lots of fun there :3

🍪 my favorite roleplay memory

It's probably when Final Fantasy XVI came out! The rpc was small, but with a few friends we really built something. We expanded the relationships and the characters, so it was amazing! And this blog is also amazing for memories because I'm having so much fun here! And I'm glad because people are interested in both of my player characters, so it means a lot to me and it allows me to expand them even more 🥰

🌵 my worst roleplay memory

There was a friend who ended up not exactly being a friend who just pushed me away when I decided to stop writing in FFXVI rpc because the fandom was dead. I thought we were friends, but we obviously weren't, and she did shady things too before, I just didn't realize. So yeah that's it hgfdgd at least the others were good friends and even if we don't talk every day like before, I still absolutely love them!

[bloodedhearts]

tell me

[bloodedhearts]

Cassandra wants to vomit. She has felt this way since she has remembered the truth about herself. Bhaal. Of course these dark thoughts are because of him. And it makes so much sense. She just hates it so much. And Orin... Orin almost killed her because she was jealous of her. But she freed Cassandra in some ways. Since the Nautiloid, the sorcerer is aware, she's awake. Everything has changed since then. But it doesn't mean she's not scared. She killed Alfira for no reason. She had to fight like hell to not kill Isobel, and she almost attacked her group for resisting. Will she ever be free ? Or... will Bhaal eventually win ? She can't allow it. She just can't.

When Karlach speaks to her, Cassandra manages to let a smirk cross her lips. "Honestly ? I'm feeling like shit." She lets a brief chuckle escape her mouth. It's not like she can change anything about it. "Orin wants a duel, and I'll do it." She has to. It's deep, personal. "Bhaal Chosen or not, he wanted me, not her. She was just jealous. I can win against her, and I will." But it doesn't mean she's not scared of the duel, or of whatever comes next.

@bloodedhearts liked this post for a starter

Finally being back in Baldurs Gate brought about so many emotions. Excitement, exhilaration, worry - and so much more. Almost all of them had something to face here. They were closing in on Orin and the Temple of Bhaal. As much as it pained and angered Karlach to have to listen to Gortash - the team had decided the temporary alliance with him was more worthwhile than the one Orin proposed.

"Hey, Cass..." Karlach spoke softly as she sat beside her on the bed. "How're you holding up? Probably a stupid question but uh... Well, best to not bottle it up."

Astarion and Malice✨

A recent commission.

[bloodedhearts]

Astarion has agreed to do some stargazing, but it's not entirely because he believes in such things. He's maybe just a bit curious to see what Alaara has to say about it, but he has never believed in such things. Spirituality in general is something that's far, far away from him. Maybe it's because he's a vampire spawn. Cazador took so much from him. Astarion has never been the best man, but Cazador made him worse. He has made him pessimistic about everything.

But he needs this alliance. And Alaara has been kind to him since they met. He doesn't know if they could truly be friends, he's not even sure he can have friends at all. But for now he's on her side, and he's doing his best to make sure it shows. The other companions don't trust him at all. Hopefully Alaara will remain this way.

"It seems like it's a good one for stargazing, yes," he replies, approaching her with a smirk. He then sits next to her and looks at the sky. Well... it requests some imagination to see these constellations, but he's pretty sure Alaara will teach him a few things like she said she would. She seems to appreciate his company which surprises him quite a lot.

He listens to what she's saying, looking at these stars and constellations. Well, she seems passionate about these. It's making it easier for him to show interest, it's quite natural. "Double Dagger, mmh ? It sounds like me. So maybe that little star is me instead of my uncle telling me to eat my vegetables." He's joking, of course. But on the other hand, Astarion has no family anymore. It has been like this for many decades.

He raises an eyebrow. Belief. Astarion isn't even sure he believes in anything. Is it pathetic to think this way ? Has his pessimism become too low ? It's hard to say, of course. "I see the Horn. I wonder what it'll bring to me." He lets a brief chuckle escape his mouth. "I mean, maybe it's just a way to encourage people in seeing the good sighs of things. Even if I wonder how we can truly manage to get rid off these tadpoles."

Alaara stopped playing at the sound of Astarion's voice and turned to look at the elf. Her heart warmed at hi sight; she was glad he'd come.

"Astarion." She gave him a small nod before he sat down next to her. "It's a lovely clear night. Perfect for stargazing."

She turned her eyes upward then. "You know, some say that there are stars up there that live and breathe," she said. "They lend their power and friendship to chosen individuals. Usually druids. I have to wonder if that doesn't somehow tie into the 'our ancestors are in the stars' thing I mentioned to you earlier."

She gently snorted, letting silence hang between them both for a beat. After a moment, she pointed upward at a forty-five degree angle at a large, bright star.

"The brightest star in the sky, Ieriyn, or the Sailor's Star, is there. It can guide us to wherever we need to go even if we don't have a compass or a map to aide us. It points north. And there," she continued, moving her finger westward, "are the Double Daggers. Between them is where true west is."

"Our travels have been taking us westward. The Double Daggers have done well to keep us true to our course. And maybe, if you believe it, that little star nearby them is your uncle, telling you to eat all of your vegetables and make sure you keep your tent tidied."

Alaara snorted then, a toothy smile blossoming on her face.

"...Belief is a strong power in this world" she said, smile relaxing. "It can carry the someone through the worst of troubles. It couples with hope and faith, and it does not have to be rooted in any logic that we can clearly see or read. It can come from deep within, where fact transforms into feeling."

"One can hold belief, hope, and faith for anything. It can be big or small. Ridiculous or practical. It does not mean you will get your desired outcome, but I certainly think it helps your desired outcome manifest itself into reality. I happen to hold firm confidence in us finding a cure for our affliction. Maybe one could argue it's too confident, too certain. But I must hold onto it if we're to continue forward; the alternative is to wallow in sorrow until we die."

She looked down at the ground.

"That has nothing to do with stars of course," she said. "However, one could say that being able to see The Horn is a good sign."

Again her hand moved, and she pointed to a star cluster that had a V shape to it.

"The Horn is considered as a sign of wealth, good fortune, and fertility. And to Dwarves and Orcs, a sign of the manifestation of their god of war. Perhaps all are true in this moment? Though... perhaps one might need to stretch the definition of 'fertility' a fair ways to make it fit the situation."

BALDUR’S GATE 3 (2023) — developed by larian studios.

[bloodedhearts]

Astarion frowns for a moment. Of course he can hear the sarcasm in Shadowheart's voice. He doubts he'll ever understand the cleric. She's so weird. She's the one who gave him the opportunity to tease her this way, and now she seems annoyed, so damn annoyed. Which makes her even more annoying. Astarion knows he needs these people to trust him at least in some ways because he needs that alliance. But the truth is that he doesn't trust Shadowheart at all. He doesn't trust much of them.

"Darling, you're the one who started this conversation. Remember ?" he teases, a playful smirk coming back to his lips. Shadowheart doesn't remember many things from her past, but she doesn't have short-time memory trouble, after all.

He shrugs before doing a brief gesture with his hand. "I don't need any praise, by the way. I know my value." He laughs way too proudly. "But maybe you need some praise ? I'm sure your little Sharran friends aren't too nice. Shar is the dark lady, after all. She probably wouldn't encourage such a terrible behavior."

@bloodedhearts CON.

THE SHARRAN CLERIC SUPPRESSED a dark laughter, and her forest greens averted to the plants she was watering meticulously ever so often, as a part of her morning routine, right after her daily prayer to Lady Shar.

Was it possible that he overlooked the tinge of her sarcasm with his pointy ears?

" How presumptuous of you. I mean the conversations with you, are a good distraction, if anything. Your jokes? Hilarious. You belong on a stage, Astarion. A bloody one, with an axe above your head.”

She spoke with the same panache she was bludgeoning a drow in a fight. But opposite of her strikes - Shadowheart's words rarely missed.

" I couldn't have wished for a better companion to share our little journey ," The priestess replied curtly, " Did you need anything, or you was just looking for someone to give you more praise? "
