Finally got my visual refs for the Wanderer's Jaws drawn up! My beloved mimic ship and her insatiable appetite for flesh and blood <3

Extra lore and visuals beneath the cut!

Intro to the Wanderer's lore is here. <3

The Wanderer is rather strange for a mimic; beyond her colossal size, her physical adaptations for a fully marine existence show evidence of the possible divergence of mimic subspecies specializing in unusual environments. Her close bond with (and refusal to eat) the people she considers her crew makes her even more of a mystery, though the secrecy with which she is shrouded is well earned. Few encounter the Wanderer and live to tell the tale, and those who do may find it in their best interest to keep such stories and speculations to themselves.

It's well known among her crew that the relationship they have with the mimic is a strange sort of symbiosis; her great size would be unsustainable without their assistance. They protect her from sickness and starvation, and she, in return, guards them from the elements and injury. The ships she sinks at their behest supply the material with which she builds her protective disguise, and the crews of those ships provide her with the nourishment needed to grow and heal from injuries.

Even so, the relationship goes beyond simple convenience. There is a bond shared between them all, an understanding. The Wanderer makes herself vulnerable to her crew, keeps them close beneath the carapace of her wooden hull. Within the sanctuary of her own body she guards them from harm, and cares for them as her own. The loyalty of the crew to their beloved vessel surpass that of most seafaring folks, and for good cause.

Any sailor can learn to love a ship, but it is a rare ship that has learned to love its sailors.

I respected Bhaal's child once, but not you, Gortash.

I know people call Gortash a raccoon but tbh whenever I think of furry Gort I think of Scar from the lion king

You ever watch your business partner test out his orphan bombs and realize you're in love?

Just to clarify, this post wasn't about whether YOU personally find Gort attractive. I do not want to convince anyone Gortash is hot — feel free to be disgusted by him.

This is about the game throwing every indicator that this man is sexy and people doing mental somersaults to say that we're not supposed to take those cues at face value.

Take another character who the narrator, dialogue, and miscellaneous items beat you over the head over how much of a smokeshow they are — Astarion. I personally don't find Astarion attractive, but I don't go around saying, "Oh, he's using magic or his vampire powers to trick people into believing he's sexy" and I haven't seen anyone who does. I just accept that in this world, in this environment, that he fits widely accepted conventions of beauty.

Compare that to Gortash whose description of handsomeness is frequently questioned by making headcanons that "It's propaganda. He's tricking the people of Baldur's Gate (and the narrator) into seeing him as hot." Or "He must have let himself go or looked different before, and that younger Gort is who people are calling handsome."

You can say this discrepancy comes from Gort being evil and people are conditioned to equate attractiveness to goodness, but Astarion very much does evil things as well and never gets dinged on his hotness for it. People understand that it's BECAUSE Astarion's hot that he's capable of doing horrific acts like human trafficking, and Gort pretty much weaponizes his looks in the same way.

tl;dr: How come the game's claims of Astarion being hot are accepted at face value but the narrated lines and posters and notes and environmental conversations of Gortash being seen as dreamy get treated like a joke?

It just doesn't compute in my mind when people say Gort is "canonically unattractive" when he seems deliberately designed with traits that are clearly attractive to men-lovers.

Exposed cleavage with visible yet not unkempt body hair

Constant emphasis on his hands and hand movements

Canonically burly arms

Canonically perfumed and smells good

Big brown eyes

Full lips

High cheekbones

Gortash is clearly designed to be a conventionally attractive man with an evil black grease filter thrown on him to give him that fantasy villain edge. And the only people who would think he's ugly are people whose male beauty standard is exclusively smooth, unblemished, lean, and young (which the internet likes to refer to as twinks I suppose).

one of my favorite twitter accounts that is defunct now is it was this account called like Crazy Optical Illusions or something and they would just post popular optical illusions but edit them so they werent optical illusions anymore and they would just pretend and people would be very confused / angry in the comments
