Astarion with gnome Tav HC?

Ok, we all know Astarion hates gnomes. And his facial expressions during the first date if you play Gnome Tav are priceless. Like, he doesn't smile and definetely does his best trying to hold back slurs.

I have been to his shoes coz I found gnomes weird and freaky. To write this Headcanon, I read manuals about them and got to this description:

It’s rare for a gnome to be hostile or malicious unless he or she has suffered a grievous injury. Gnomes know that most races don’t share their sense of humor, but they enjoy anyone’s company just as they enjoy everything else they set out to do.

And then I googled gnomes.

Honestly, if you think gnomes are ugly - you've met the wrong gnomes!

Thanks @evillittlebirdie for the next concept

A gnome that hates elves and an elf that hates gnomes

Astarion x Gnome!Tav

You are tiny, only 3.2 ft.

All your life you spent far from "big folk", living deep in the woods.

But you were always warned against the elves, those arrogant pricks who think the world belongs to them.

Astarion… hates gnomes. It's not uncommon for elves to be weird about them but he has some personal issues.

Maybe it's his "brother's" fault, maybe some dating preferences.

"Dwarves are fine, but gnomes! Freaky and ugly."

You can't understand where this comes from.

Gnomes are peaceful. Kind. Never malicious to anyone. Always accepting strangers in their homes and caves. So why is your kind so hated?

You bicker but eventually you fall for Astarion's charms (and he suppresses his disgust to seduce you).

Maybe elves aren't that bad, after all.

And Astarion suddenly realizes he isn't averted by you.

Tiny. Yes. You are barely tall enough to reach up to his hips.

But you are cute. Beautiful, even.

Like a small elf.

Finally, Astarion confesses to you.

That he manipulated you. That he used you.

And what is worse, he hated the mere idea to touch you. As if you were some nasty creature.

Like a goblin.

He apologizes for that and is waiting for your verdict.

He expects you to yell. To curse him.

You do nothing of that. You approach Astarion and hug him.

Well, for him you are the most beautiful person in the world.

To kiss you, he has to kneel (or pick you up like a child)

You were embarrassed first to be carried around - besides, you are considered "tall" by gnome standards!

But you learn to like it. Your weight is 40 pounds and Astarion can carry you on his shoulders as long as you want

And, the hells, you enjoy it!

Firstly, because Astarion can go faster and longer if you don't slow him down, and, second, you can see the world around not being blocked by taller people.

When you go like that, you play with his curls and carefully touch his ears (it's impossible to resist when you are so close).

He loves your feather-like touches.

He still laughs at your height, though

"Oh, I am sorry I can't hear you from up here!"

"Apologies, darling, I thought someone was squeaking!"

And you wait for the opportunity to mock him for heing the tall one.

"Oh, I am sorry, I forgot I travel with a brainless giant!"

As a gnome, your desire to help is innate. It's just against your nature to deny someone's needs.

And more often than usual, Astarion has to carry you away before you agree on something too dangerous or too cheap.

"I am Astarion and this is my micro-wife. Ouch!"

When you stay together in taverns and inns, you don't have to pay for two beds - a single bed fits you both.

And Astarion always presses you to his chest - you drown in his arms. You feel safe and protected.

Sometimes, you hear mockery and evil laughs.

"An elf and a gnome, can you fucking believe it?"

You usually let these words go but Astarion doesn't.

He beats those who dare speak ill of you two and makes them kneel and beg for forgiveness.

Gnomes live long, up to 400 years. And you are young. As a gnome, you want a stable home (when you get tired of travels) and somewhere to stash things.

And you understand Astarion craves stability as well - so he will get it with you.

A comfy home in the woods among your kind.

Gnomes are accepting, after all.

Even if it's a vampire.

gnome guy commission! 🪄

(couldn't get hold of the commissioner, if he is yours please come get him..)

[the-gnomish-bastard]

Been getting word that some of you are feeding your homebrewed potions to the Gnome Hobos in the Arcanic City as a way to test them. Stop. The Gnobos are mine to take care of. They all work for me and have specific jobs, some of which involves spying. If I hear that one of you fuckers turned another Gnobo into a swan, I will hunt you down and hit you with the fucking Grankler. Last warning.

[Image Description: A digital drawing of two forest gnome girls, identical twins, running through the woods. Both wear pointed red hats, and have brown skin and long black hair. The one in front is mid-leap, wearing overalls and brandishing a stick like a wand. The second is running more cautiously, looking down with fistfuls of plants. She has a blue skirt, & her hair is in a braid. The ground is covered in small plants and fungi such as twinflowers and bunchberries, as well as mossy rocks. End ID.]

The twins, Maisie & Brigit! What & Why! Ephemera & Dionaea! Sprout &... the names go on and on...

Valentin Künstler, my new long campaign character. He’s a 3ft gnome bard who uses painting and visual art to create magic. He’s a pessimistic and depressed asshole who has absolutely no shame. I’ll post a lot of art and animations with him and the new D&D party.

[fatale-distraction]

This is the absolute BEST gnome-specific dialogue I’ve come across in this game and I’m absolutely poaching it for my Barcus fic 🤣

Icewind dale2: gnome paladin/illusionist multiclass.

I imagine he's also party's surgeon, using illusion spells for anesthesia and paladin's healing spells to facilitate recovery.

Have this D&D character concept I've had saved up for a while !

The lore:

It was a joke from March, since my changeling turned into "mini-thara" from Baldurs gate 3, but as a deep gnome instead of a drow, and then we joked that my next character should be minithara but with a superhero backstory, so I made her daredevil inspired.

She's a blind shadow monk!! When the drows took mithrall hall she managed to escape by killing a drow priestess who cast daylight directly onto her eyes, causing her to lose 80% of her vision! She's extremely sensitive to light, and can only see in shades of gray, but everything is a blur regardless. She has no depth perception, only shades of light.

She's really cool from what I've been able to play her, I hope to do her justice if I ever do main her, but lmk if you have any questions about her lore, I'm working on it :3
