That awkward moment when the weird druid you picked up on the road and your leader start flirting

[thedomesticanthropologist]

Cerys: all seems lost

Mira the Cleric: All is never lost. Not when you have Hope.

Cerys: .... you damn cleric with your empty words, we are at the end of our rope, backed into a corner, and you want to talk about HOPE? We cannot arm ourselves with hope, feed ourselves with hope, bury our dead with /hope/. Thanks for the sweet words. You tried. But no

Astarion: HA, eat Shit Mira

Mira, unfazed: When they have taken everything from you, what you have left is yours to decide. For without the belief that things can get better, we succumb to what had been done to us. Hope is sometimes our very last defense, for even if it is fruitless or futile, you die knowing you truly exhausted every option.

I would rather try than lay down. What say you?

Cerys: ..... damn girl

Astarion: ......... So - you j- shut the fuck up-

thinking abt faun/satyr!cerys..... get goat’d idiot

[naughtybg3confessions]

I don't see enough love for the tiefling girlies. Alfira, Lakrissa, Lia, Rikka, Ellyka, Elegis, Pandirna (to name a few). They deserve love too! I want to kiss them all! Mwah

[beecreeper]

BULLY 👏 THAT 👏 MAN 👏

This is why Briar and Cerys ( @quacaserous ) can't exist in the same universe. They'd both be too busy bothering Gort to actually execute the Absolute plot

[bg3womenconfessions]

cerys is a hottie and i would like to make out

[calboi-creates]

OK, so this is like my third time posting that fucking Karlach drawing but this time with the full page and my tav, Cerys!!

Oh and actually photo of them for context!!

I think you are the most qualified person to ask this question since you write the tieflings so well: what Olympic sport would the tiefs complete in?

High praise indeed, Anon! Thank you so much!

Going through the list of events, I'm going to go through the adult Tieflings we see in the Grove. I'm also sticking to the summer events.

Zevlor is, of course, Equestrian, and more specifically eventing (which, I discovered, is basically a triathlon). Tilses would also take place in Equestrian, but she'd be focused on jumping. If the Hellriders aren't taking place in the equestrian events, it's a crime. Nuff said.

Rolan would be a swimmer. I think he'd would find swimming for exercise cathartic--the water resistance, the controlled breathing, engaging all your muscle groups to move through the water.

Lia would be a rower for a similar reason, engaging all the upper body muscles. I think she would do really well with a team, as well, and find a lot of fulfillment in it. Cal, in perhaps a surprising choice, would take part in gymnastics. His high strength score lends itself to strength based events. Imagine Cal taking on the pommel horse or the rings, holy shit.

Dammon, surprising absolutely no one, would take part in the hammer throw. But, before I remembered that existed, I also figured he would do well with shot put. Short bursts of power suit him.

Along a similar vein, Alfira would really excel at rhythm gymnastics as a form of artistic expression. Lakrissa, on the other hand, is a natural for archery, and in a modern AU would absolutely be that person doing trick shots on TikTok.

In canon, we know Bex is a great runner and that she was able to outrun the cultists. Thus, I can see her taking part in the sprinting events. Danis, meanwhile, I think would get the most enjoyment out of golf out of any of the events available. Outside of competition, I think he'd like the social aspect of it.

Komira is absolutely a Taekwondo girl--she was ready to throw down with the druids and strikes me as the type who wouldn't hesitate to fight for what she believes in. Locke's temperament, in contrast, reminds me more of a distance runner. He's much calmer than his wife.

So I debated between Asharak and Guex whom I thought would be a better fit for fencing--we see Asharak training the kids in fighting, and Guex using Main Hand Attack against Makeshift Training Dummy. Ultimately, I felt Asharak's temperament was a lot better for it and, frankly, that he would do well enough to compete on an Olympic level. Guex's event? Javelin Throw. We see him use potentially any weapon you sell Dammon against the Training Dummy if you defeat the druids (off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone who uses a javelin canonically otherwise minus maybe Cal). But I also think he'd like the challenge and feeling powerful without having to get into close quarters.

If we've talked Tiefling headcanon, you'll know I carry a headcanon that Okta is/was a monk and actively adventured until her pregnancy. Thus, she's a natural fit for Judo. Ikaron, too, does a physical event that requires a lot of control and precision: Boxing. Like Rolan with swimming, I think he'd find it cathartic.

Cerys would take part in the modern pentathlon. We don't know much about her backstory from the game besides her being a scout and the third leader option if both Zevlor and Asharak are killed in Act 1. Thus, IMO, she has to be extremely impressive in her own right. The pentathlon presently includes fencing, swimming, equestrian jumping, laser pistol shooting, and distance running.

Zorru and Yul are other canonical scouts. We know Zorru was able to make it Baldur's Gate presumably by himself, which means not only is he a good runner, but he has to be skilled at dodging obstacles, too. He's a natural choice for hurdles. Yul, we don't know enough about, but for the endurance required for scouting, let's slot him into cycling.

Kaldani and Rikka get to be our beach volleyball pair! I really wanted a duo that's seen a lot together in game, and they seem to get along well. I can see them working amazingly well at a team and being unafraid to work hard to win.

Damays and Nymessa were a little hard for me--I very much wanted Nymessa to be in breakdancing just to make Damays's head explode (at least the way I characterize them). But, in the end, I thought pole vault would be a good fit for her. Damays seems a fit for discus throwing.

Kanon strikes me as someone who would be really good at diving. We know he was a tailor in Elturel, and I think he'd appreciate the precision and artistry. Arka and Memnos? They get to be our tennis duos team. I think they'd balance each other well in the sport.

Pandirna absolutely has to be in weightlifting, all things considered. Let's hope she doesn't get in trouble for doping with Ethel's potions... Toron I think would be wrestling because wrestling cattle or something. Nadira would be sport climbing, because that seems to fit in well with her sneaking around devils and the like. (I can't remember at the moment how much of that is canon and how much of it was headcanon we came up with on the camp server.)

Eramis and Elegis I slotted into long jump and high jump respectively. At the time of writing this, this is based off vibes from each of them rather than anything in game that lent itself to this. Finally, Xeph, Rechel, and Amek get to be our synchronized swimmers, because we gotta have synchronized swimmers, and also I don't know where else to put them.

Hope you enjoyed the post!

A page of tieflings 🥰

The fact that I can't romance any and all NPCs is a shame. I need to collect them like pokemon.

It's stay the fuck in an AC room kind of day.

I live in Atlantic Canada. We get lots of snow in winter, but this heat wave...seriously barf worthy. My chickens don't seem to care though.

Like, how would tieflings react to a heatwave? They naturally run warmer than other races, but the heat must bother them.

I could picture Rolan rigging up a constant icy breeze. He'd constantly be making ice or figuring out a way to get elementals to constantly and consistently cool off the shop and tower.

Zevlor...actually, I could picture Zevlor wanting the heat for his joints but regularly taking dips in a stream or river to cool off. The thick, humid air would make training near impossible but...other sweaty activities involving cool baths would definitely be on the docket.

Dammon would have zero fucks to give. The man works a forge, this heat is nothing to him. He's probably the most heat-resistant of them all.

Lia would be stuck like glue to Rolan's cooling breezes. That or she'd go grab Alfira and Lakrissa to go swimming.

Cal - Cal would have his feet in a river, just taking in a beautiful day. I can picture his pants rolled up to the knees and him just humming to himself, maybe even reading a book (it's smut of course). I don't picture him fishing though...he'd have to kill the fish himself and he's had enough of killing.

The kids - well, they're all in the river. Even Mol. Cerys goes with them to make sure the little ones stay safe (and to cool off too, not that she'd admit it). Zorru is there too, Cerys made him go. Mirkon is sticking close to Cerys, cause, well, if you know you know. Mattis is trying to convince Zorru he needs to buy the special always dry(tm) towel.

Danis and Bex and fanning each other...kidding! They're over at Sorcerer Sundries or with Lia and the Queens.

Tiefling refugees idle dialogue - Cerys, Zorru, Bex, and Danis in the Rivington refugee camp in Act 3

Dialogues beneath the cut

---

Cerys: Zorru! You made it here all on your own?

Zorru: It was touch and go. Some close calls - the cult have claimed every road between Baldur's Gate and Elturgard.

Zorru: But from what you tell me, I had it easy compared to the rest of you.

---

Bex: We've lost so many since Elturel.

Zorru: We should have an Exiles Feast to commemorate those we lost.

Danis: Supplies are short, but I can scrape enough together for everyone to have a bite of something solid.

Zorru: Even if we only have tankards of river-water to raise, we'll drink to their memory.

---

Zorru: I've heard Alfira made her way into the city.

Cerys: Bards can talk their way out of trouble as well as into it.

Bex: She sent a message - she's at the Elfsong Tavern. Hopefully making herself comfortable.

Zorru: Glad at least one of us is doing well.

---

Zorru: So many more could have survived, if we - if I - had done the right things.

Danis: Don't take that on yourself. You know who's really responsible.

Bex: You did what you could, Zor. I'm sure you did.
