Look, I'm just saying BG3 wouldn't have so many non-magic pretty rings as loot drops if they didn't want me to give them to my besties. For personal roleplay flavor. Just sayin'
(of course my gf Karlach has a bestie ring & a gf ring)

The Shade of It All
Listen.
Titania, Queen of the Fae, can't accept that Dream of the Endless never took her up on a second invitation to her bed.
(For once, Dream decided to be sensible about his lovelife, which was, as everyone knew, tended to be catastrophic. That has since been addressed, but we'll get to that in a little bit. Give us a moment.)
So the vain, capricious, very dangerous Queen is incensed when she hears that His Darkness, the King of All Night's Dreaming, has taken up with a human. An immortal human, mind you, but the insult absolutely cannot be borne! It was insupportable!
And for the love of the Puck, they were married? Bound in heart, mind and soul, so Dream claims, that the very Dreaming itself recognized Robert Gadling as mate to its King and Heart? Yeah, Titania was going to challenge that, because Dream had been married before and gods above and below only knew how that ended.
So she thinks she's going to get a free show out of this, right? Bring the Lord of Dreams low, expose him in his passions before the avid, greedy eyes of the entire Unseelie Court, witness losing himself in the carnal charms of his chosen mate. She'll take whatever petty vengeance she can get.
(Perhaps there was a little bit of deviltry here from Desire's direction, because they were quite annoyed at the want and need that was currently centered around their brother. It was enough to make them reach for the Endless equivalent of Brain Bleach.)
Except she doesn't count on Feral Chaos Gremlin Hob Gadling.
Feral Chaos Gremlin Hob Gadling, who honed his eloquence and gift for words in an age where literary giants like Christopher Marlowe (and Shakespeare) had lived and breathed and spun their out their stories and tales to inspire the dreams of men.
Feral Chaos Gremlin Hob Gadling, who was quite capable of reading one capricious, glamour-ridden Faerie Queen for filth, stripping away her carefully crafted illusions with every word, every truth, with the sharpest wit and caustic humor that sent the Unseelie Court and the denizens of the Dreaming rolling in the aisles.
"Lubricate, Your Royal Nibsiness," Matthew the Raven tells him, nudging a whimsically carved goblet of dreamwine in Hob's general direction.
Hob takes it without missing a beat of his scathing read on Titania's grooming and beauty routine, which had already stripped her faerie web gown to ragged shreds.
The shade of it all was so epic that it had cast a cooling effect over the Dreaming, which had been suffering a bit of a heat spell, mainly because His Darkness and the Prince Consort had been thoroughly enjoying their honeymoon before they were so rudely interrupted.
Dream could only smile, cat-content and he had put a very eloquent period on Hob's Epic Read of Reads by dipping his consort into a kiss that was somehow far more passionate and hotter than the lurid fantasies that Titania and her Court had hoped to see. Frankly, they were all blushing like virgin maids in the end.
Desire closed up the Threshold and sulked for a solid six months.
Titania holed up in her chambers and was not seen for another century.
-end-

in another universe where I had the thoughts and/or motivation for it I'd write a meta/character-focused essay about Volo just to use the lyric title 'Heros Always Get Remembered But You Know Legends Never Die' because you Cannot Tell Me that isn't a fitting line for a deep dive/expansion on his motivations and position as a counterpart to the MC.

Every Site should have Organizable Bookmarks
My PC's bookmarks are hell of unorganized and it's hard to find anything there (especially Twitter & Tumblr Posts that don't have titles; because instead of a title or a code, you get the artist's name followed by most of the text in the post {Because, y'know, that'll DEFINITELY tell me which post I'm looking at}), so I greatly appreciated a good "Bookmarks" function so I can find posts on PC and on Mobile. The problem: Nobody makes a good Bookmarking function. The only site that does so far is Itaku.ee, and that's because it's an art site and they keep it organized in different galleries. Alternatively, Twitter and Mastodon have a single bookmarks feed that gets really full really fast (and Twitter's can't even be taken out or else they get permanently removed), and Cohost and Tumblr just straight-up don't HAVE a Bookmarks feature. If I want to bookmark a post on any of these sites, I either have to use my PC's bookmark function, or send these to myself via DMs (either in-site or on Discord). I just WISH that more sites allowed users to bookmark posts for later, and organize them into proper folders to they don't get mixed up and don't get lost in a sea of other posts you bookmark.

I just realised that I've been a part of the RGG fandom for nearly a year (~10 months) by being introduced to Lost Judgement.
I'm already making a fanzine to cope with the pain of not getting a third Judgement.
Now if you pair that with Yagami's pretty ass face, I think that goes to show how good a game Lost Judgement was and that more people should play it
