[tashas-cauldron-of-magic-soup]

The new and vastly improved Arcangelo Scaramuccia. Most fuckable tiefling this side of the Sword Coast.

He's reaching a critical mass of cunt and it's getting out of control 😭

[tashas-cauldron-of-magic-soup]

Number 6 for Kazimir

Number 9 for Arcangelo

Kindly — @tavstavernofdisasterbisexuals

Thank you for asking!!

6. If they had a set of D&D dice, what would they look like? (for Kaz)

One of the Etsy shops I buy dice from just released a "Ranger Danger" set and they are actually perfect 😭 I gotta save up a little monies and buy them to play Kaz with in D&D

9. If they had to be put in a "get along shirt" with a companion, who would it be? (for Angel)

As sad as I am to say it, since I love him, it'd probably be Gale. I firmly believe there's a wizard-bard rivalry much like the sorcerer-wizard rivalry. That wizards think bards are glorified street magicians, and bards think wizards are far too stuffy and up their own asses. I think that either Angel calls Gale a maidenless nerd, or Gale asks Angel if he can do any "real magic." The get-along shirt ensues (put on them by Withers).

Hi! I have come once more with Tav Asks:

Num 18 for Kazimir Num 5 for Arcangelo

— Kindly, @tavstavernofdisasterbisexuals

(I'm also working on some requests prior to Kazimir's, I can't await to draw him hihi)

Thank you for the asks, Eli! I'm also incredibly excited to see you draw Kaz and I've been on the look out for it 😝

18. what modern day tv show would they binge over a weekend? do they get their LI to watch with them? (for Kaz)

Kaz would be absolutely enthralled by River Monsters, and I think he and Halsin would watch it together.

I also think he'd watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy over a weekend, again with Halsin. And I think they'd make the themed LOTR food that some people make during a binge watching weekend.

5. what does their tent area look like? where do they prefer to pitch their tent (next to water, covered on three sides, etc)? (for Angel)

His tent is just like his room at home. Draped in various jewel-toned Calimshan tapestries, covered in velvet pillows and silk blankets, has a nice mirror for preening, at least one bottle of wine at arm's reach from his bedroll, and always has vanilla incense burning. Baby boy is a total slut for creature comforts, especially after a long day of adventuring. So he creates an absolute nest at camp.

He prefers to have camp nearest the fire so it's nice and warm, as well. He runs hot (101 degrees F internally) due to a D&D tiefling headcanon in the campaign I play him in so he's especially sensitive to cold.

[tashas-cauldron-of-magic-soup]

Wait, what would happen if Angel and Kazimir met? (I don't remember seeing any post like that but I could have perfectly forgotten lmao)

I don't think I've ever posted about this before, so you're all good! 😝

I think Angel and Kaz would honestly be very very good friends, perhaps even lovers. Angel is chaotic good while Kaz straddles neutral-chaotic good, so they have similar moral backbones all things considered. So there really wouldn't be any butting of heads there.

Angel is admittedly more forward and willing to be abrasive than Kaz, but that's really nothing he wouldn't be equipped to work with. In my Curse of Strahd campaign where I play Kaz, he's in a party with some very big personalities and still just does fine around them. He just does a lot of the talking to keep them from getting killed outright (rough when you have a 10 charisma). Kaz is frank, but not abrasive unless you really get under his skin.

Meanwhile, Angel would find Kaz's confidence to move throughout the surface world as a drow incredibly admirable. Angel is immensely proud of being tiefling, but he's used to knowing many tieflings who aren't and feel ashamed when people act prejudiced towards them. Being a surface drow is rather similar, so to see this drow that is so full of goodness never let a racist comment get him down is just instant friendship material. Angel would be 1000% in Kaz's corner to put assholes in their place, and vice versa.

And the reason I say they could feasibly carry on a romantic relationship is I do think they'd have some mutual attraction to each other. Angel loves a little hero like Kaz, and Kaz is fascinated by Angel's air of sensuality. So, possible boyfriends.

Perhaps you could provide me a private demonstration of such a fascinating artform?

That depends. Will you be providing the sword, darling~?

Arcangelo Scaramuccia, my Bard of Swords for BG3, having his daily rizz-off with Astarion.

I have plenty more background on him I may post sometime later, but here's a little bit.

Arcangelo, AKA Angel, is descended from two long lines of performers. Albeit, in very different specialties.

His human father, Marco, is a scion of the House of Scaramuccia. The family business is performing for the rich and powerful of Baldur's Gate. Their tastes lie in the noble arts of stage acting, playwriting, poetry, ballroom dance, and operatic singing, among other requests from their clients.

His tiefling mother, Denitsa, is the joint proprietor of the Cirque of Scarlet Flame with her three sisters. The Scarlet Flame has been the Nicolescu family business for as long as they were tieflings, or so the story goes. Their talents lie in the less austere, but no less scintillating arts of fire dancing, acrobatics, sword swallowing, and other astounding feats.

You may be able to tell which side he takes after.

Hi hi I'm back! Now here for the wholesome asks with Angel!

28) What would they do if their favourite pet suddenly fell asleep on their lap?

37) Give them your credit card for five minutes; what would they buy?

Welcome back, my dear!

28. I feel that Angel had cats growing up, because he himself is rather cat-coded. So if they fell asleep on his lap, he’d lounge right along with them. And use it as an excuse to not help his sister with chores because it’ll wake the cat. At which point she’d throw a shoe at him.

37. Clothes. So many clothes. As many silk shirts as he can get his sticky little hands on. And maybe a new bottle of perfume oil.

[tashas-cauldron-of-magic-soup]

Hi! Any random fun facts you would like to throw about your characters?

Hi! Lemme think... 🤔

Kazimir can play the prima balalaika! Thanks to him having the Outlander background in D&D, he gets proficiency with a music instrument. I just think balalaikas are neat. The story goes that one of the halfling bards in Farwallow taught him to play when he was growing up because he needed another player to back him up and play duets with. He's not spectacular at it, but he can pick one up and play it by heart still.

Kaz is surprisingly fashionable for someone who doesn't mind going out to the wilderness and getting dirty. Since one of his moms is a jewelry maker, he has quite the collection of pretty shinies from her. And now that he lives in Waterdeep, some of his adventuring money often goes towards clothing that catches his eye and the trends hit big cities earliest. He still wears mostly black because he's comfortable in it. But he's a well-dressed guy when he's bopping around the city!

Less fun fact, but something I'm not sure if I've really talked about here, but Angel smokes. He smokes exclusively clove cigarettes because they smell better, and he can mask the smell with perfume oil easier. He picked it up as a teenager from some of the circus hands, much to his parents' chagrin. He knows he ought to quit sometime soon lest it ruin his voice.

Angel not only can speak Infernal, but sing in it. When he's around to perform at the Scarlet Flame, his favorite thing is singing the opening song. All the flames are quieted apart from one central large flame in the middle of the stage. Several of the fire dancers light their batons off of it and dance a slow, winding dance around it while Angel lurks close to the audience, engaging them and enthralling them while he sings in Infernal. (lowkey imagine Infernal sounding like Sumerian when its sung, and got the idea from this video that is unfortunately kind of a meme now)

8 and 14 for the tav asks (for whichever tavs you want)!

Thank you for asking!!

8. if either, are they part of the astarion/gale book club (magic & literature) or the wyll/shadowheart book club (trashy romance novels)?

For Kaz, he is officially in the Astarion/Gale book club. However, he wanders into the Wyll/Shadowheart book club whenever it sounds more interesting. He loves to read mystery novels in his spare time. However, he'll indulge in a good romance sometimes, even though it flusters him to admit it.

Meanwhile, Angel is firmly in the Wyll/Shadowheart club. He brings smut from travelling the corners of Faerun with the Cirque the likes of which they've never even seen before.

14. do they have any inside jokes among their companions?

Kaz and Gale have a ton of inside jokes about being Waterdhavian that they refuse to explain to anyone else. Because, "I guess you just have to be from there to get it."

Angel not so much. But he will gossip with Karlach in a heady mix of Baldurian slang and Infernal to keep out prying ears.
