Tav, using their Pet Owner Voice: What have you got in your mouth? What are you eating? Drop it! Drop it right now!

Scratch: [whines and drops Wyll's boot]

Owlbear Cub: [guiltily spits out Boo, alive and unharmed]

Halsin, currently a bear: [drops a half-eaten salmon and makes an indignant noise]

Astarion: [startles at the raised voice, lets go of Tav's wrist, reclaims it and goes back to his breakfast once he realises they're not talking to him]

Gale: [chewing faster]

Tav, sternly: Gale...

Gale: [reluctantly spits out a powerful magical artefact into Tav's outstretched hand]

Tav, muttering under their breath: Can't have shit in the Gate.

Gale, ruefully rubbing the back of his neck, also under his breath: Gods forbid a wizard do anything

Back at it again at the fantasy krispy kreme

Bonus!:

Where are they going? What does Shadowheart see? What is Gale’s coffee order?

I hope everyone’s doing well. Things have felt pretty bleak and difficult recently- maybe this will cheer you up. Maybe not. But I care about you regardless 💛

I love that he was hesitant to “impose” and enjoy the party with his own people but bent down without missing a beat to pet the good boy of the camp.

hope you're keeping jolly, friend

[awhekate]

things that I imagine happened in early act 3 on my dark urge run

[hollis-art]

i have been thinking about baulders gate 3 so much lately and i had the idea to put Geordi in it and it has brought me so much joy

i have only played as him for a little less than two hours and i've already had to revive him once. i sure do love bards

[kasumiviolet]

Hello! I have a slightly silly hc question: how well do you think the bg3 companions handle spicy food?

not a silly question at all, in fact a very wholesome one!

i’ve chosen to go with general food/meal preferences but will include tolerance to spice for you!

Including Astarion, Gale, Halsin, Karlach, Lae’zel, Shadowheart & Wyll

TW: Food, mentions of eating habits, hiding food.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Astarion:

- Given his affliction, I doubt there is much need for legitimate sustenance in the form of physical food & drink

- This does not stop him from occasionally mixing wines with the blood offered to him.

- Say for instance, he fancies something with a bit of sweetness, he would happily stir in a few generous drops of Amnian Dessert Wine before gulping down a goblet (or three)

- Tav would often attempt to experiment themselves with herbs & spices and offer Astarion a choice between a warm and spicy cinnamon, or a bold peppery clove.

- One time, Gale snuck a few hot peppers into his goblet as a prank, and was devastated when it had absolutely no effect on the vampire.

Gale:

- The Connoisseur of the Culinary Arts, Gale loves to experiment whilst cooking for the camp. Albeit to the chagrin of the others

- He has an extensive collection of foraged herbs, flowers and items that he keeps in his well worn Alchemy Pouch, Halsin often finding various items of use but having little to no skill in their preparation.

- Is really not fussy when it comes to preference, is just happy to enjoy a home cooked meal amongst pleasant company.

Halsin:

- Prefers a vegetable based meal, but doesn’t mind the occasional use of meat as long as it doesn’t interrupt the harmony of nature.

- Does not drink alcohol, and much prefers a herbal tea sweetened with honey.

- The first time he tried anything remotely spicy was when the party had come across a food stall ran by an old man, only making one meal, Spicy Shrimp Soup.

- Halsin was hesitant, as all Elves were when it came to spice, preferring a delicate blend of flavours over a gutpunch of heat, but the party was weary & this was all they could afford with their coin.

- After one mouthful, he was pleasantly surprised at how warm and comforted the broth made him feel; he made sure to remember the name of the dish and would often return to “check on the old man”.

Karlach:

- Karlach is the Mother of Spice™️

- Peppercorns? Give. Spiced Wine? Yoink.

- Spicy Sausage Links are her favourite, and she’ll often inhale about six or seven in a row before she realises everyone is staring at her, either in fear or arousal admiration.

- She asked Tav one day if she could make her something as hot as she is and Tav just conjured a fireball.

- Karlach needs to try a good spicy ramen or a firecracker rice fr

Lae’zel:

- Lae’zel actually prefers minimal spice, and sees her food as fuel rather than something to enjoy.

- Although she absolutely will not tell a soul, she has a sweet tooth.

- Has a secret stash of tiny dessert delicacies from the realm hidden away in her tent, and will often snack on these should she desire.

- “Treacle Tart? Tas’ki - Give it to me to dispose of.”

Shadowheart:

- A sweetheart with an even sweeter tooth.

- Is curious and open to trying new flavours or delicacies, but steers clear of anything cooked by a goblin or a gith.

- She will often sit by the riverside with a steaming cup of tea as a form of relaxation.

- Definitely steals scraps of meat and other things to give to Scratch when the others don’t look, feigning innocence if caught.

- Her favourite dessert of all time is something called a “Ruby Rack”, a sweet cookie made with vanilla and walnuts. Every now and then she’ll crack a joke that her true mission in life is to find one again.

- Lae’zel surprised her one day by placing one on Shadowheart’s pillow with a look saying “if you tell anybody that I did this, I will cut you from navel to neck.”

- Shadowheart nods appreciatively.

Wyll:

- Wyll adores anything homecooked, a token of trust and love between friends that he holds dear.

- Oftentimes finds himself reading the recipe books that Gale collects in order to educate himself on the meals the camp share, what nutrients & vitamins each ingredient provides etc.

- “You’re looking a little worse for wear, Karlach. Maybe some stew would help.”

- Wyll just wants everybody to be healthy & happy and honestly, I respect him for it.

BONUS

Scratch:

- Sweet boy is happy with anything, but Shadowheart has noticed that his tail wags a little faster when presented with sausages or a good pork loin.

- Halsin often tries feeding the pup sprigs of rosemary or thyme. He’ll sniff them, take them gingerly into his mouth before spitting them out.

My first ever ask! I spent ages going back and forth with this tab and the wiki for the sake of accuracy - I hope you enjoy love!

Actually. Y'all know those animal videos that are like My Dog Was Raised By Cats And Now He Purrs or This Duck Thinks He's A Dog or Mama Cat Raised Puppy Alongside Kittens?

That is. Probably what happens to Owlbear Cub.

Because he's not really being raised as an owlbear. He was, for a bit, but he didn't have a mom for very long. His primary role model now is Scratch, a goodboye. Owlbear Cub is, basically, being raised as a weird dog.

So it seems natural that he'd start copying Scratch's behaviours, to bond with his new family. And those would become habits, settled in beside his instinctive owlbear behaviours.

Scratch likes to play fetch? One day, it's Owlbear Cub who returns the ball to Shadowheart.

Scratch gets up to go lay his head on Astarion's chest when he starts to twitch and sob in his not-sleep? Owlbear Cub will go with him, and curl up there too.

Scratch enjoys chewing on Wyll's socks? Owlbear Cub...doesn't like chewing in general, really, but he does learn that if he steals companions' things and runs around the camp with them, they will chase him, and he thinks that's great fun! Gale's trousers, discarded on the floor of his tent. Astarion's shirt, snatched off the drying line. Minsc's underpants, at one point, which is still better than trying to eat Boo.

(They still haven't managed to stop him hunting small critters and dropping the bodies in people's laps, though. They're not sure where he got that one from, but Tav is sure he keeps doing it because Lae'zel and Astarion keep praising him for it. Their justifications are, respectively, "The creature is a drain on our resources; it is good that it is proving useful as a pest repellent," and, "Ooh, yay, fast food.")

Anyway, yeah. Little dude thinks he's a dog send tweet

[scarstarion]

Astarion's having a restless night. Can you spot all the easter eggs?

Featuring my dhampir gal Scarlet & best boy Scratch!
