Is so wholesome when creators collide with a cover/fanwork so cool and go "we should do something together pal!"

oh my god the reason sten approves of giving bella the tavern is because he thinks only women should run businesses

Some various Tavern AU design sketches! We've got it all, AHiT AU, human AU, pirate gem AU, superhero AU, you name it.

Yes. Yes that is my interpretation of human Defect. I'm sorry if you were imagining him as a hot tumblr sexyman.

I. I saw your Masked Fool Aventurine fanart and I absolutely fell in love with the concept gskdgkfkfsa

I'm always so envious of other people who draw well because it's all so impressive!

That specific piece of art sparked something in my imagination and now I have so many ideas gskdgskgsd

I actually rp as Aventurine on a few different blogs on here, and I was wondering if I could make a rp blog based on your art and concept with all credits to you ofc!!!

I haven't felt this inspired in a while kshkhdskhs so it may sound silly but I just wanted to ask!

I hope you're doing well, and no pressure to reply to this whatsoever!

~ Mod of @aventurine-official

asdkfdsk i would be so honored!!! i'd better make some more art and write some more things in that case.... i have more misc thoughts and a small playlist i can drop too if you or anyone else is interested! i love writing and making aus especially so please pick my brain if you want!! but yes, absolutely that would be okay!! thank you so much :,)

[eastgaysian]

not a #hottake, just a thought that's been rolling around my head - i think the lower city ends up being a lot less fun to roam around than the rest of bg3's maps because cities by nature make for unfun video game level design. there's too much space to walk around in at the same time as all the Things are packed really close together. it becomes way less clear when something is being telegraphed as a point of interest, so it's easy to feel overwhelmed/lost, and exploring becomes significantly less rewarding. you're also fully capable of going into the sewers 'too early' and getting a party member kidnapped without warning, in a manner that can be really jarring for the story, which was irritating on my first playthrough as a dedicated video game meanderer.

like, every house has a cellar, but it's not worth your time to go in any that aren't directly involved in quests. the catacombs aren't worth checking out either, but then there's a unique scimitar locked behind a somewhat obscure graveyard interaction that you don't really get pointed towards by anything. the upper city is more fun to wander around in, if you ever try it during the final battle, because you have a clear goalpoint and thus clear areas to explore for fun. and a cluttered, unclear level combined with some of the more rushed-feeling writing and quests makes for a really unsatisfying final act area.

[aquilamage]

I don’t have anywhere to go with it but I’m very compelled by the idea of Vi lying about her age to the explorer’s association

[fluffypotatey]

I refuse to believe there isn't at least one (1) scathing medieval diss track about both Morgana and Uther, individually, floating around, written by some very brave (and no doubt very inebriated) bards because nothing says "fuck you" like a cringe compilation of your life being first immortalised in song and then sung by tavernfuls of lit farmers at full volume. These songs contain mention of Uther's troll queen and Morgana's inability to brush her goddamn hair.

THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF EDWARD HARCOURT

The Trials and Tribulations of Edward Harcourt It all started with a letter…

Friday February 2nd, 1923 My dearest friend, Such good fortune has befallen me, that I scarcely dare write you in case it is merely some joke played on me by fate. Lord knows that Fortuna has not been kind to me in this life. Yet fortune is fickle, and it seems the Lady has finally deigned to smile on me.

It had been years since you last saw Edward Harcourt last. Along with this sudden wish to reconnect, Edward promptly invites you to join him in his new abode of Castle Gairbuie, on the North-Western coast of Scotland, and to reward your loyal friendship.

You do not believe this vague letter is all there is to this mystery...

Content Warning: Mention of death and suicide, violence and threats, bodily fluids, war, use of alcohol and drugs, swearing and insults.

Playing D&D as a bard is 10% actual roleplaying and 90% looking up medieval versions of modern hits

[not-the-darknight]

Flower! Can you make anything else with oranges?

An.... owl?

[Diluc uses two oranges to make it resemble an owl with wings and a tail.]

[foreverrain-fr]

Of course now that he's done I'm thinking of making a couple tweaks to my Alastor dragon. Nothing too minor, only outfit changes. Thinking of adding the fiendish and unearthly onyx grasps for his shadows, as the layering of the two gets surprisingly close to the shadowy feel. And then swapping out his sinister pants for the classy ones for a more accurate look. But still, ugh, how annoying. I suppose I'll sit on it and see how I feel about it later. For now I will continue to stare at and love him.

Unpopular opinion:

No one actually likes going to Disney land they just like the nostalgia.

Additional thought:

That’s why everyone is getting into renaissance festivals now. Because it’s all the dressing up and fun interactive activities, but catered to them as adults.
