i love when characters get angry when they're frightened. shelter dog characters. i love when they bite, not able to tell the difference between a hand that feeds and a hand that strikes. there is no difference. a hand is a hand is a fist. i love characters that are deemed unadoptable. unlovable.

and i love when someone loves them. i love when someone sits with them, patient. they don't flinch at the snarling and snapping. they're not trying to fix it—there's nothing to be fixed. this is you, all of you, and ill wait. because one day, one day you'll take the treat. go on, draw my blood. spit and curse and rage. you're safe with me. one day, you'll feel safe with me.

Just had a question about commenting on Ao3. Is it weird to comment on several of the same person's fics? Every time I do this I feel like I'm being stalkerish or something. Is it actually as weird as I'm worrying about?

I was looking through all the screenshots I took last night and I just have to talk about this one for a second because it was such an unexpected gut-punch.

(So obviously this is Gale talking at the end of the magic lesson. I used Diguise Self on Gale to make him look like default Durge for the scene.)

But it's so apropos for Gortash and Durge it's ridiculous. Gortash's whole life was objectively terrible—parents didn't want him and sold him to a devil, Raphael kept him a prisoner for his whole childhood while Nubaldin beat the shit out of him whenever he wanted, he escapes Avernus and finds out all the suffering was for nothing because his parents are still poor and shitty people—and he had to claw his way out of like rock bottom to make anything of himself. If you look really close at his character model, he's covered in scars. There's this splatter of scars across his neck and chest that look like burn or acid marks: from Avernus? from a rival gang while he was a Reaper? The guy went through hell, literally and figuratively.

And then he meets this person who just accepts him at face value: the terrible stuff he's done and will continue to do, the terrible stuff that's happened to him, his ambition, his nobody past, his whole everything. Durge is like 100% devoted to Bhaal and being a Bhaalspawn and furthering Bhaal's plan of killing the whole world. And then Durge meets this like nobody guy who came from nothing and really isn't much of anything and suddenly it's "Forgive me father, but..." and Bhaal and the annihilation plan get shunted to the backburner so fast that even crazy Orin notices.

Gortash's parents didn't want him. Raphael didn't want him for anything but to torment him. The patriars and people of Baldur's Gate don't want him because he's a nobody urchin with aspirations way too far above his poor cobblers' son station. But a literal demigod who has no reason to give a shit about him wants him.

And then just like that, this person who finally chose Gortash knowing exactly who and what he is just gets yanked away. He had everything after a lifetime of misery and struggle. And all it took to lose it was the one tiny moment it took Orin to turn on Durge and shove a knife in their head.

So now I'm just imagining that this whole scene was just a dream in the middle of the night. Gortash dreaming he and Durge are doing some random thing—traveling, going to do another heist, whatever—and they're having fun and things are *good* and then like dreams often do, it gets weird at the end and Durge says this to him and he wakes up and he's back in Baldur's Gate, Durge is (insofar as he knows) dead, and he has to go through that awful "wake up and lose the loved one all over again once the realization that they're gone hits" grief again.

guys trust me your ocs are 120% prettier when they're beaten and bruised and one step away from death's door as they're left alone in the rain

there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly

make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp

draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason

make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful

write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks

headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc

have fun man

i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to

just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too

enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed
