Aci i am looking 👀 at the avatar au u say about 👀
👀 Imagine... for some reason, the world is in disarray. The four nations are divided, not by like war but by like geography and just general isolationism (including the north and south tribes of the water nation from each other). Scar is just your run of the mill water tribe kid, never showed any signs of having any other element. And he grew up with bestie Cub, the two of them having been raised by the village elders after Something™ happened to each of their parents. And they've grown up into fine waterbenders, but have never had any reason to even want to leave, knowing nothing about the outside world.
Grian, an airbender, decides to go searching for the avatar for... reasons... watcher reasons... and crashlands in the south pole, where he's found and rescued by Scar and Cub. He doesn't realize Scar is the avatar for like half a day, thinking he's just some waterbender, but something happens that makes him realize and he confronts Scar about how he's not "doing his job" and reuniting the nations and all that stuff, to which he just gets confused staring and has that Oh Shit moment of realizing Scar doesn't know. How a man can go 20+ years without knowing he's the avatar, well, Grian certainly doesn't know, but whatever the watchers are planning Grian's purpose is won't be successful if Scar can't use the other elements. He manages to convince Scar to go traveling the world with him, telling him stories about the world outside the water tribe. Unfortunately Grian wasn't counting on Cub tagging along...
Mumbo as a nonbending citizen of the fire nation, him relying on technology and inventing all these really cool things... but still being overlooked bc he's a nonbender in a family of benders... wanting to prove something to the world (and himself), so when Grian, Scar and Cub stumble into his little town and get to know him, and they offer him (against Grian's protests) to come see the world with them... well, who is he to say no to that? It's not like his rich bending family would even notice he's gone... right? He'll just take his tools and his blueprints and go on the greatest adventure of his life and maybe accidentally get dragged into whatever Grian's planning...
Cleo as a master firebender, participating in underground firebending rings as the undefeated champion... secretly like the cousin of the crown prince(ss) or something, so fucking bored of palace life... just wanting a little more out of life than what she has... stumbling across the others and quickly figuring out Scar is the avatar... coyly blackmailing them into letting them join... "Oh, no, yeah, that's fine. I mean, sure, if I stay in town I might slip up and tell someone very official that the avatar has been found, but yeah- go ahead, it'll be fine. I'll just be here, alright? Talking in these... very official circles, drinking some very good drinks- well, who knows what might slip, but it's okay, everything is fine- oh, what's that? You want me to come with you? Well, I don't know... hmm, alright then." :)
BDubs as an earth bender who loves to garden... living in a communal home with Ren, Etho and Martyn (earthbender, nonbender, nonbender),... Scar accidentally destroying his garden beyond like any chance of recovery, and BDubs dragging his roomies/boyfriend(s) into basically following Scar & Co. to try and "make them pay" for destroying his garden and ending up saving them... becoming friends with them.... (getting a certain firebender's attention ofc bc I'm me...)
Just 👀 Picture it. It's just a giant messy roadtrip story where nothing bad happens at all, all sunshine and roses yep, definitely no airbending cult extremists manipulating and pulling Grian's strings at all, absolutely no need for terrible realizations and feelings of betrayal and redemption and Grian having to make a choice between the family he'd always known and the family and the men he'd come to love no siree

finished shiv's run of bg3. some highlights (BG3 SPOILERS ABOUND):
raphael's battle music is SOOOO good. so good. worth it just for that
freed orpheus, who immediately called shiv out for, quote, "fornicating with a mind flayer" (i guess they did fuck right in front of him)
lae'zel breaks up with you if you fuck mizora or halsin, but not if you fuck the emperor or raphael's body double incubus
gale's cat doesn't like it if he ascends to godhood bc he isn't *hers* anymore
turned karlach into a mind flayer bc....she was dying anyway.....which i thought would be sad but she seems to take to it well. i didn't think that would cancel out the infernal engine but it does, and karlach's "i get to stay!" was cute
for all the emperor says he has faith in tav & co., he allies with the netherbrain with no hesitation if you free orpheus. which....given how quickly orpheus comes around w/rt to karlach's ceremorphosis..... remarkably short-sighted for how worldly he is. the balduran reveal was a surprise. why didn't he just enthrall ansur? very cool character tho, i love how slowly the game fills in his past.
YEAAAHHHHH RIDING WITH BAE'ZEL ON A RED DRAGON
wasn't expecting to like voss but he kinda grew on me
astarion bb ;_; his character growth was heartwarming but realistic. im sure romancing him will permanently shatter my psyche in some profound way
honestly i think my struggle to understand how to make effective battle choices within 5E limited my connection to halsin and jaheira. i just didn't care for how limiting wildshape feels, so i didn't take either of them with me unless it was quest relevant.
i didn't finish the quest to expose kagha so i wasn't named faithwarden despite shiv being a druid. suits him tho, he's more of a loviatar type after everything.
did not spec the squad in a way that made hold person/tasha's laughter/etc viable so i just. didn't use mind control spells hardly at all the whole game. spammed multi attack/multi hit options and moonbeam pretty heavily.
for similar reasons, i found wyll to be very squishy, but the displacement with his eldritch blast was useful.
hey y'all don't destroy the steel watch foundry asap the way i did. it kills everyone in the underwater prison and you never get to visit it. wyll already expected his dad was gonna die cause i freed him from mizora's pact, but still. i wanted to save omeluum...
