I saw some discussion in another ask about whether Durge becoming a god would remain the same person, and I felt like sharing some stuff I read which I found really interesting- about ascending to godhood and "mortal" partners specifically.
Becoming a god, you are aware of everything going on in your domain, you can always hear and process the prayers of your faithful. The lack of need to continue indulging in food, sleep, etc, make it hard to still appreciate those things like one once did. And by comparison to just your baseline existence, it's underwhelming in the first place- again, constant prayers, higher power, higher understanding. In the end the person described it like having a pet, essentially. You love your pets and your pets love you, undoubtedly, but there are a lot of things you cannot share with them, because they wouldn't understand it or be able to appreciate it like you do. Just the edge of a god's consciousness, knowledge, awareness, would probably be intensely underwhelming to a mortal. A god wouldn't truly be able to meaningfully explain their existence to a mortal, etc.
Also the thing of immortality itself and how it seems to affect people's perception pretty directly, like elven lifespans do. You can become pretty detached to the concept of time compared to mortals or others who have shorter lives. What's a few decades translating an ancient language, when you've got eternity to do whatever you like?
I feel like those differences would be a non-issue, or even enticing to some (i mean. i think some people would be okay with the "pet of a god" position.) but it's certainly not for everyone. And what if you, as a god, do an oopsie and forget to dote on your mortal lover for a few years, because they aren't in your plane, and you had to attend to your faithful, or other manners of godly business?
I've wanted to ramble on about this for ages, hopefully this is alright lol. It's been swimming around in my brain, I just find the psyche changes so interesting. Good food!!
-Tressym Anon
Good food indeed
Side note: does that mean elves are the most spoiled pets ever with their owner gods forming an entire pantheon just for their precious little pointy eared guys? While humans are akin to a stray racoons dumpster-diving and scrounging for scrabs because no god would ever take them? Is that what Corellon doesn't want his precious pets to associate with humanity and their rabies?
Anyway someone should call animal control on Lolth. There's probably a huge poster on the gods' meeting room door reminding everyone to not feed the wild racoons outside their homes and don't even attempt to domesticate them, Mystra looks the other each time she passes by it.
But yeah, this is a very well written explanation of what it would've felt like to be a god. No wonder Durge is going to change beyond compression, even ascended Astarion would just seem like an exotic pet to him, like how some people keep tarantulas.
But one thing tho, I think their views on mortals are even lesser that of a pet.
If Mystra, a good leaning neutral god wanted her favourite pet to kill himself just for her forgiveness, it's wild to think what the evil aligned gods would require of you.
Maybe ants? Dolls? I mean you also don't fuck your pets so it is confusing a bit. Gods both can be attracted to us but also act as if we're more worthless than dust.
Some gods gamble with mortal souls, others keep mortal friends and walks in their mortal form a lot. It's like a 2D person being asked to imagine the third dimension, something that looks very simple and makes sense to us could be utter nonsense and impossible to even comprehend to them.
Dolls might be the best description honestly, sentient dolls. I'd imagine playing town management games to be the closest experience to being a god, years can pass like seconds to you but you also can slow down time to experience it minute by minute.
You see the people that you guide and order around and you acknowledge them as people but they all seem so small from high above, their efforts so meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
But you can get down on their level, maybe even have a small chat to them one to one, flirt a bit or sleep around. Then vanish back up when another task needs to be done as they get reduced to another number in your count of followers.
And here I was debating writing a god Gale au with a reader who ends up going back to him after ascending Astarion and regreting it, thinking a god surely is more responsible and respectful of them than a legit vampire lord.
It is funny to think that Gale has the potential to become the most toxic out of all of them, I mean we have all saw Bhaal's punishment for Durge if they fail to become his slayer, what he would reduce his favourite child to.
The line between good and evil must be very blurry when you're sitting up high. Or maybe mortality straight up just doesn't exist, it's action and reaction instead.

Listen, Zavrik is just ahdhdjabdjsks
However, you gotta give a girl a break. Not only am I thirsting and longing for fictional characters in a video game, but it's now like three levels deep cause it's not even like he's a non-romancable npc, he's a character that's not even part of the story! Not even a Tav or Durge, nope, just the epitome of a perfect dude who's the child of a non-romancable npc and some random person's (said with love) tav..... I'm in too deep, I have a nosebleed now 🫠
I- I don’t know what to say!!!! Oh my gosh, this is so freaking- AHHHHH ♡!!! When I said he captures the attention of people I didn’t think he’d actually capture people’s attention!!! The way I feel so full of knowing you have love for him!!! He really is a cinnamon roll, and I’m glad you’re in deep because Zavrik would treat you so well~ ♡ ♡ ♡ he’s the perfect mix of Zevlor & Lofn so you know you’re in for a good loving time!!! Enjoy these dear - 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝒦𝒾𝓌𝒾 𝓍𝑜𝓍𝑜
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whenever you’re around Zavrik the world around you always seems to fade into a soft blur, the sounds of the city always dimming into a distant hum as his very soul envelopes you.
It always feels as if though time itself has paused, holding its breath to witness the moments he shares with you. His arms, always so strong yet gentle, encircle around your waist with a warmth that seeps into your very being… A cocoon of safety and affection that shields you from all that is harsh and unkind.
Zavrik’s eyes, oh those beautiful eyes that remind you of diamonds, are a universe unto themselves. Pools of deep emotion, they lock onto yours with raw passion that makes your heart flutter. In their depths, you see a reflection of yourself, cherished and adored, as if you are- no, that you are the very center of his world. Each time his gaze meets yours, it’s as if he’s memorizing every detail, every scar, every breath you take- committing it to memory.
His touch, a whisper against your skin, his fingers tracing the contours of your face with a tenderness that makes you feel as delicate as a petal. There’s always such great care in his movements, a gentleness, treating you as if you are the most precious thing he’s ever held.
In Zavrik’a embrace- in his presence, you always feel seen, known, and oh so loved. The world may continue to spin, but here in his arms you are the only one who matters. And that feeling always lingers no matter the distance, it is a feel he’s made sure to etch into your very heart so that you always feel as if you’ve found a home in him no matter where you go.
And should the gods be cruel and tear him away from your side, Zavrik has ensured that you will never face this world unguarded. Skjaldrynn, will take his place as your sentinel. A living testament to Zavrik’s promise that you will never be alone until he can great you once more in the heavens above. In the wyvern’s watchful gaze you, you find a piece of Zavrik’s spirit, a guardian that carries his heart, ensuring that his love shields you always ♡ ♡ ♡

Half Deity Gale 🌌
Had one of those random ideas during my drive to work and... What if Gale would only become a half-god?
What if his own mortal feelings and/or the love to Tav/Durge is so strong, that he just can't ascend fully? Like parts of him refuse him to become a full god.
He would keep his humanity but still be granted greater power...
[I have barely a clue about DnD (yet)... This is just an idea I had and I enjoy it. Pls don't be offended by it, ok ��]
ALSO half-God Gale would only be half mercury coloured too... Right? 🤭 No cloth for skintone-shift under the cut. 'Magic parts' are hidden tho!! xD
Tumblr media
I just liked the idea of this 🥺

"was I sweet once?"
a little thing based on that one dialogue in the Blighted Village that keeps killing me internally. This is my first time writing for bg3 like ever, so apologies if Shadowheart + Wyll at the end seem out of character. I haven't figured out how to properly write their voices yet (which is also why I haven't really expanded on that section.
♡ the durge is not a specified race, gender, or class, so go nuts with imagining it lmao.
♡ wrote it with the context being after you meet kagha + before you get to the goblin camp
♡ it is very short; at the time of posting, it's 3:30am for me and I am eepy so I didn't wanna do something that was like,,,, 1000-2000 words. Maybe if I get enough motivation lmao
• • • • • • •
You stare down at the chalk, idling tracing your eyes over the unsteady squares and crooked numbers. It's almost faded now, covered in grime and dust and whatever else the goblins left in their wake when they raided. It… saddens you, you think.
Yet, the very image of it – that childhood innocence persevering, even if only by the skin of its teeth, despite everything. It sticks. It sticks and refuses to let go. Refuses to remove the claws it has dug into your neck, so deep you can taste the iron.
Or maybe that's the goblin blood splattered over your face. It's probably that.
Initially, you hadn't planned to wipe out the goblins, but you found yourself��� restless. It was all too easy to sneak out or camp at night and slowly, tenderly, cut the throats of the intruders as they slept. They hadn't even bothered to put up a night watch; it was as though they were taunting you, as you walked through the village gates, dagger in hand, and nothing but the sound of sweet whispers in your head. After you crossed that threshold, you were gone.
And when you came back – soaked in blood and feeling more alive than you had in weeks – you were staring at the ground. At the hopscotch.
Did you used to play this, when you were younger? Did you have friends you ran around with, giggling and laughing and playing? Were they kind? Were you kind? You hoped you were kind. You hoped that whatever you are now was a product of the tadpole, or a sick joke played by a god.
What of your parents? Did they care for you, give you candies and toys? Idly, you remember the sight of a Teddy bear held by one of the tiefling children back in the grove, and wonder if you had such a thing when you were young.
Staring up at the sky, you took in a deep breath, a heavy weight settling in your chest. Gripping the dagger tight – the steel now stained with so much blood, you were sure the blade would forever be tinted red – you stashed it back on your belt, and headed back to camp.
• • • • • • •
“Looks like something tore through the goblins here,” was the first thing Shadowheart said when you walked into the Blighted Village. Your hand twitches by your side, “Let's hope whatever it was is long gone.”
Wyll hummed, tentatively poking at one of the corpses with his rapier before turning it over to examine the damage, “Such deep cuts… I'd be tempted to say a wild bear at best, and a gnoll at worst.”
“We should keep moving,” It was a struggle to keep your voice from shaking. Whether from excitement or fear… you didn't know, “In case it comes back.”
“Are you faring well?” Wyll set a hand on your shoulder, shaking you out of your stupor.
“You do look rather pale.”
“I'm fine, Shadowheart,” You replied, shrugging Wyll's hand off. You moved forward, passing over the hopscotch you saw last night, “Just didn't sleep well. That's all.”
That's all.

Haha oh man I think your tav and my durge would get along well—he is also a trans, twinkish tiefling with curly hair, only difference is he’s pink and god’s LEAST favorite princess, he’s a faeric-pacted warlock and I intentionally leaned as hard into the “owo smol bean” persona as possible making him because I find it inherently very comedic to have a sweet lil guy who is trying to live his best barbie dream life but keeps waking up covered in blood wondering why he’s god’s favorite piñata lol
Oh my goodness♡♡ barbie life in the "oh god NOT again" house, give your Tav a hug rn!!!
My Tav would try to pretend he isn't seeing your drurge waking up covered in blood and be like, "Wowie, man, that Astarion, huh? He must've gone wild on you last night, I know a really good cleansing spell that'll get those stains outta your bedroll in seconds." As he conjures up some berries for your Tav xD

Im curious and i thought this was funny, instead of redeemed durge just being brought back, what if they were turned into a demi god of life. What would Astarion think if their new demi god partner just went up to him and was like "How's it feel to bump bones with a demi god?"
That would be the biggest irony of fate, honestly. A lesser god of life with an undead lover, especially since the gods purposely ignore all undeads existence since they deem them too tainted and without any soul the gods don't care for you.
It also begs the question, would Durge change like how Gale changed when he became a god? Would they even still love Astarion the same way when the power dynamic shifted so absurdly? Astarion makes it clear he wants an equal and not a protector, yet it's hard not to give your lover favours as a god of life.
I think that's spawn Astarion's best ticket to curing his vampirism. Maybe you'd need to steal someone else's soul, or ten, but those numbers are nothing for a god if it meant your lover is alive again, showered in Corellon's light again add rejoined the cycle of rebirth all elves are promised since birth.
Astarion would more than appreciate it, he would feel as if he owed you his life twice now. Yet I see that shifting the already unfair scales of the power dynamic.
Of course god Durge can make Astarion their chosen, extend his life beyond immortality if they wished to. Afterall a god of life, even a lesser or demi-god, would be widely popular when each creature breathes with life.
An ascended Astarion might be more of a problem, his soul is truly gone beyond repair. Not a single trace left just a hollow trophy of his past self, of what he can never be again.
You're not the god of death. What right do you have to bring him back if Withers says no? Would Astarion even want to be brought back? Or would he be blinded of all the power he suddenly gained, think he can also use you, a whole god.
I always thought that there wasn't much difference between gods and undead really, both lack souls, both can never love like mortals do, both are not included within the cycle of life.
Even the god of life may not join the living, much like the undead. At least you and Astarion would still have that in common.
