#I'm so in love with your durge

[chronurgy]

In my feels about how Gortash abso-fucking-lutely ruined Durge's life. Just fucking destroyed it. But that's also the only reason they have any sort of chance to make something different for themself. He's the only reason they even have a chance at a happy ending (even though it's a happy ending that he can't be in)

i like the whiplash of going up to astarion on durge and having him worry about how he noticed you haven't been sleeping and it must mean you're having trouble w your urges, trying to joke around and cheer you up. and rthen going to minthara who immediately goes "you're a bhaalspawn?!! HOT ‼ let's go kill my ex and rule the world together 🥺❤"

If there is any companion I wished had more DUrge specific dialogue like A*tarion is would be Lae'zel. I can't stop thinking about it

Lae'zel who teaches DUrge how to control their urges and redirect them in battle. To, as she fucking says, savor each kill (and if that doesn't help, they can go bash goblins together). Who is the only one who can wrangle a murderous sleepwalking DUrge. Who would love some rough sex from DUrge but also they learn together how to do the soft touches and cuddles. Who knows what it's like to just be labeled as a killer and weapon. A route where both of them learn there is more to life than blood and slaughter. Or go down the path of blood and slaughter together

Lae'zel/Dark Urge forever and ever amen

I love it so much when a creature of untouchable ideals gets turned into a Real Person against their will and isn't sure that they want to be one... that's what it's all about!!

"You aren't a mirror, Wyll Ravengard. I don't see a monster when I look at you."

"Strange. It seems I can say the exact same thing to you and it still rings true."

ny'quil and wyll my beloveds

gale/durge is funny if just for the "am i the first mortal you've been with question"

i, at least, like to assume the durge is immortal or at least nigh immortal since bhaal seemingly intended them to be the last living soul. they'd need plenty of time to get all that murdering done. and who knows what being made of god flesh and blood does to a mfs lifespan. but even if they aren't they're still godspawn. gale just can't stop attracting gods and their ilk even when he's not trying

wait orin is a product of incest????

This is SO interesting, my Dark Urge character in BG3 sometimes just.... does not have the moderate and sane options that my blank slate one did. I definitely feel like this ought to be a second playthrough NG+ kind of thing but also I’m having so much fun with him that I do not WANT to finish my other playthrough first. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I interact with brains in jars and the archive of brains for the first time and got to the True Soul one.

And yeah, I think June definetely needs to tadpole Gortash. Make him taste his own medicine or so to speak.

A very accurate portrayal of what happened at the Tiefling party in my druid playthrough:

Karlach: Let's make out. Mira: Okay! Every other Companion: Oh, we saw you with Karlach, but we want you instead. Mira: I already promised Karlach. :( I'm sorry. :( :( Companions: :| Halsin: *exists* Mira: :) Karlach: Oops, forgot I was on fire. Mira: :( Karlach: Let's bang after I cool down. Mira: :)

archiveofourown.org/works/51242092/chapters/129477979 Hello I am here with my humble offering. A person-enters-fantasy retelling of BG3. Think Oz, think Lost in Austen, Alice in Wonderland, but this is a fully realized adult entering Faerun. Trauma meets trauma. Humor to cope with trauma meets nitty gritty. I don't know. In Act 3 I'm gonna make the upper city be a thing and fighting Cazador will be prefaced by a masquerade ball. Loviatar's love and Volo's lobotomy! Hurt/comfort. Who knows what's in store in this, my self indulgent Isekai carnival ride!

I can't write up my posts right now (well, I could, but writing long posts on mobile sucks ass so I'm not going to), but I will say: I have entered the Daddy Issues phase of the Durge story.

[eldrichthingy]

I'm so horny about vampire durge my fucking god. I'd let them tear my throat with their fangs please

[kirain]

My favourite bit of BG3 lore is that Withers is legitimately responsible for the Dead Three, but he's probably too embarrassed to tell you, so every time you ask him to elaborate he just gives you a very stern, "Noooo."

I also love that the reason he's responsible for their uprising is because he got bored. He literally got bored of his position as Lord of the Dead and wanted to retire, so when these three morally questionable humans came looking for godhood he was like, "Hmmm. Yes, okay. Here. Take my portfolios. Fight over them. I don't care. I quit."

So after bowling with skulls in a friendly competition to decide who would get what portfolio, they took up his powers and wreaked havoc on the world. Only at that moment did Jergal, AKA Withers, AKA our precious Bone Daddy think, "I'm just now, internally, asking myself, in quite a worried way, whether I might've made an error."

So he joins your merry band and watches your escapades, calmly twiddling his fingers while you clean up his mess. He's happy to lend his aid, even to the point that he'll bring Durge back to life if they reject Bhaal, even though he technically shouldn't. But he's Withers. The rules don't apply to him. If Ao doesn't like it, he can descend from the Heavens and say it to his rotting face.

And the reason he saves Durge isn't necessarily because he likes them or because he's a morally good entity (though one certainly could make that argument), but because he wants to add insult to injury. He steals Bhaal's child with a big smile on his face, dubs them his Chosen, and praises them for rejecting all the power they were promised. But of course, he still doesn't tell them who he is—or rather who he was.

Then, when all is said and done, he throws Tav and their companions a cute little party. No one knows it's probably half a thank you party and half a "Withers is bored again" party. And if anyone misbehaves, he'll get irritated and whisk them away. Because how dare they? He put a lot of work into that.

And at the end of it all, he walks up to a mural of the Dead Three and basically goes, "Lmao. Thou didst fuck around, and thou didst find out." Just savagely roasting them.

And then poof!

He waves them into non-existence.

Astarion is afraid: "He is so afraid. So, so afraid. Of everyone, besides you, who he ought to fear most." -Sceleritas Fel, about Astarion

"He is afraid. He is afraid because all he has ever known is you and me, and without us he is nothing." -Cazador Szarr, about Astarion

He wants to be safe: "I'd see how to safely keep the powers this mind flayer's worm has given me." - Astarion, wishing on the magic mirror

"I'm doing this for you, too, you know. To make sure we're both safe. Forever, for good." -Astarion, to romanced player, about Ascending

"You are safe. The winds of fate blow you to the warmest of hearths in the most cordial of inns. Your seething passions lead only to pleasure. The touch of the sun comforts your flesh, but never burns it." -Naoise Nallinto, giving Astarion a vision of his deepest desire, safety

He gets his wish: "You were patient. You cared. I feel safe with you. Seen." -Astarion, confessing his love

"This little adventure of ours has taught me that we can't let our lives be ruled by fear. Or else we never really live. I'm not afraid. Not of you, not of your darkness, and not of our future." - Astarion, to romanced Durge
