#this is the true dark urge

[rallazart]

Every time I see these ads for girly skimpy outfits, the devil whispers in my ear "draw that male character in it draw that male character in it draw that ma-

"gale is too good aligned to get along with astarion-" if you play the dark urge and get the scene in act 2 where you literally try to murder him he fucking tells you "at least there's plenty of enemies out there for you to kill! a feast for the violent at heart :)" entirely fucking unphased. you cannot tell me he would give a shit if astarion straight up started eating people as long as there was some vague reason for it. he's literally straight up telling you as long as it's aimed at foes and not friends he doesn't care if you engage in gleeful butchery for crying out loud

Also the reason I write Gortash so obsessed with Durge and literally holding them above everyone else is because

Imagine: You meet a child of god. A child of cruel and evil god who is an awful murderer. Killing is their Sole Purpose, the reason why they were even created.

And that person one day REFUSES their father, their GOD. Why? Because of you. A child of god defies a god for you. They are made for killing but refuse to kill YOU when their god commands them to.

They get betrayed and disgraced because of you. You think they're dead. BECAUSE they chose you over everything else.

And then they return and alright, the memory is lost, but it's still them. You know it's them.

Like imagine the power trip Gortash had to have upon the revelation what Durge disobeyed their god for HIM.

Of course he'd be obsessed. The child of god said only he matters.

Being a girl is hard because you are constantly trying to make your pain look pretty. It's like "I am suffering but am I doing it beautifully?" and "Is my agony and misery good enough for you?"

how i imagine the guards feel when they witness durge & co definitely not doing anything illegal and have to stop them

BLUEBIRD HOW DID YOU OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION BEFORE I DID

Idk if Tik Tok and the fandom here are making me delusional or whatever but I’m genuinely curious about the chances of Gortash becoming a romance option (down the line for Dark Urge). Like I feel like if Larian conducted a poll at this moment for a dlc romance option Gort would be pretty high up or number one?? Because I keep seeing more people start to like him? Like is he becoming more popular? Especially because it seems widely accepted now that him and Dark Urge were an item of some kind and the fandom overall seems to like that. Or am I in an echo chamber for him?lol

Based on a true story

[cornflowersisblue]

Four furrows, identical to those on his chest, pierced the armor all the way through. He had long awaited the chance to wear it, yet managed to ruin it on the very first day of use... Such a careless fool he was. Then, he remembered the purpose of it all and cast a brief glance at Nere.

He stood over a large, worn book, leisurely flipping through the pages and silently mouthing the words. His eyebrows slightly furrowed towards the bridge of his nose, white eyelashes twitching with each blink.

Llarar felt much lighter at heart.

my thing about the dark urge is like. augh. they're so. you were made for a purpose and you can never escape it and you are punished for fighting it and orin was made for a purpose and she can never escape it and (presumably) she is punished for fighting it. so you don't fight it. and so with neither of you fighting your purpose you fail because bhaal is too short sighted and too impatient. too hungry. she kills you and while the end of the world and the death of everything would be good for bhaal, that one moment of betrayal, that one murder, is enough in that moment; orin acts on the impulses she inherited from him, and assumes your place, and it will never work because she can't fight the urge in the way you can, because she can't see the bigger picture, because she doesn't have the discipline.

i think it's an interesting commentary on bhaal, human man who ascended to godhood- does he retain that impetuousness, even if the scope of his plans is wider and further reaching? does vlaakith have a plan beyond "become a god"? does gale, so-called god of ambition, see anything beyond his own immediate success? do mortals who become immortal ever really become gods? or are you forever bound to your same shallow impulses, the mortal lack of foresight, the impulsivity and entitlement?

when bhaal created his messiah out of his own flesh and blood, did he know they would be murdered? or did he think the rules don't apply to them, the way they don't apply to him? what did he intend them to inherit?

Tav's version of ✨Romance✨

Both Astarion and Nere are so into it.

I really love the idea of Gortash and Durge, when going on their hell heist, meeting the Player Character from Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide & Hordes of the Underdark. That character knows Mephistopheles' true name (and if you know the lore behind true names you know how wild that is). It would just be so funny.

LIKE I'm just imaging my Teifling (because the Fubar mod adds teiflings as a playable race) Bard Belinda just strumming away on her lute just being like "Hey if you run into Mephy tell him I say hello!"

Keeping in mind the play character also can just straight up fight Mephistopheles in combat, in the streets of Waterdeep. LIKE Gortash and Durge are both way out powered here. Love the idea of these two guys meeting a lvl 40 bard. Man, I miss epic levels.

LIKE yeah the two games happen 120 years apart, I just think it would be so silly. I want Gortash & Durge feel fear about a pink haired Teifling.
