[sankttealeaf]

I finished my Karlach origin run last week and I'm missing it, so I drew the traveling party. Inspo drawing included :3

[godcomplexcorner]

i want to kiss all of the companions on the forehead and tuck them into a race car bed i love them so much

[foxgl-ove]

biggest tragedy in bg3 is not being able to at the very least have a fwb relationship with every companion. like, i guess i can understand polyamory is a bit harder to cover, but let me be a WHORE, larian, i want ALL KISSES. ALL KISSES NOW.

Beach dayyy (i did not draw the beach)

Zoom for quality/details!

Edit: rescaled because tumblr is giving me GRIEF with the image quality

[scalpelsister]

also this isnt really proper shade at larian or anything and the writing of this game is SAURE good so dont take it this way but.

i sure do wish. Minthara was not villain batted as hard as she was. Her being locked to "evil" runs and being mutually exclusive with several party members. Her being nothing more than a miniboss for your average player- who does not even know shes a potential party member! Her being so chronically unloved by the community because... shes the "evil" companion. Hell, even the amount of people saying frankly really edgy shit about killing her or hurting her completely unprompted lmao. Like I genuinely think shes been pretty unfairly demonized both by the community and by the meta of just like... the game itself because she's really actually..... kind of, dare I say, sweet? if you get to know her. ugh.

One fun thing about bg3 vs dragon age games is that in dragon age, I can't think of a single character I didn't like off the bat, or at least wasn't vaguely interested in. Like yeah some of them are jerks, ogrens a little annoying sometimes, they all do bad things, but they're all easy to get attached to, then it's later on that some make decisions that hurt or disappoint you. But with balder's gate? I genuinely disliked several party members immediately. They were uninteresting, mean, annoying. But you keep playing, and you learn about them, and suddenly you realize they've grown on you like fungus and they have very deep and cool lore and thought and emotion and you get to slowly see them open up!! Both are so much fun!!!

Then again I've barely started my bg3 playthrough so who's to say ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Worth

Masterlist for my ongoing Astarion x Tav fic <3

Phayelynn was only a bard. She was trained to regale tales of brave adventurers of Faerûn. To write and sing praises of their heroic conquests. The excitement and amazement- the romance of it all. She never wanted to be the subject of songs. She didn't have what it takes to be a hero, no matter how hard she tried to be- a fact that was quickly becoming apparent to her newfound companions as they desperately searched for a cure for the Mind Flayer parasites taking up occupancy in their skulls.

The Baldur's Gate brain rot is alive and well, and I'm obsessed, and want to novelize my playthrough. ���💜💜
