#shadowheart fed into cerys's massive hero complex/praise kink with the nautiloid rescue #+ sh being catty af with the idiots and assholes they ran into did alter her brain chemistry a lil #+ religious trauma bonding (paladin/cleric is just THE d&d ship dynamic i will not take criticism)#and i feel like for shadowheart she sees a big 6 foot butch with a martyr complex who just wants to protec #and she's like 'is anyone else gonna climb that' and didn't wait for an answer #shadowstar #prepping a tag for them if i get back to learning gifs #baldur's gate 3

Can I be controversial for one sec

#thank you for putting it into words OP #this is truly why i enjoyed sex lives of college girls so much leighton murray you beautifully repressed bitch taking it out on everyone #and acknowledging all those feelings of anxiety fear and self loathing can exist even when 'unfounded'

origins only for now. minthara, jaheira, minsc, & halsin might come in a later poll.

vote with your heart, your pussy, your whatever, but be nice about this. if you put 'ewww het' etc. in the tags i'm blocking you. none of these characters are het <3

#WYLLACH SWEEP AS THEY DESERVE!!!!!!!!!#i cannot wait to do karlach romance with wyll origin it's gonna be 👌👌👌#i appreciate the themes in karlach/astarion but not being a big astarionmancer it's not my cup of tea #galezel honestly got me intrigued as a sideship in a couple fics i wanna dig deeper #i feel like shadowheart's got good chemistry with all the boys but not as much narrative ties as the other options do #so it's harder to envision i'd need to explore on origins runs

"[black character] just doesn't have enough material, that's why they're boring" tell me why y'all want to fuck the drider then. or he-who-was. or samson dragonage. tell me why fan demand got cullen brought up from being a side npc to a main character. or got halsin turned into a companion. quickly now.

Anyways while racism in the writer's room is definitely a thing and does affect how black characters are written and portrayed, to say "well this character wasn't written well (because of racism) so THAT'S why I find them boring!" is just disingenuous and trying to shove blame elsewhere.

Wyll may have been shafted in terms of writing, but he still clearly had more effort and time put into him than Halsin. And yet out of those two characters, which one is more popular in the fandom?

Dragon Age: Inquisition may bend over backwards to make Vivienne seem like a villain at times, and her opinion on the Circles is a bit complex, but that game also has Cullen in it - who was an antagonist for two previous games, and also has even stricter views on mages and the Circles. And out of the two of them, who's the one people are more forgiving to?

Preston Garvey might have a bugged radiant quest that means he says the same thing over and over and over again, but why is it annoying when he does it and endearing when it's characters in other games? (Brynjolf's "Sorry lass, I've got important things to do" comes to mind)

While yes, we should hold writers and developers accountable for the racism they bake into their games, this does not change that fandom is a transformative space. Fandoms will regularly take characters who were underwritten, who were treated poorly by their source material, or who were overlooked, and create beautiful works of art and fiction surrounding them.

So it's quite telling when they refuse to do this with the black characters.

#i know the numbers show wyll has literally less content in terms of voicelines etc. but also like #some of y'all just didn't even try to use him or talk to him and that's why you complain he's 'not fleshed out'#like i like astarion and karlach well enough but i didn't have them in my party a lot so i saw a lot less of their interactions #than my usual crew of wyll shadowheart and gale or lae'zel #so i gravitate to those 4 really over 2 of the fandom darlings cos i just didn't use them and didn't get a lot out of their stories #and when i did take astarion he disapproved a lot so i locked myself out of a lot 😅#but like. yeah if you have no interest in wyll in the first place you get nothing out of his character just like everyone else #and maybe examine why you don't gravitate at all to his character design to the point you miss out on engaging with his story

recently saw ppl discuss whether they put their medicines in a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom cabinet and i was shocked by the fact that many ppl said kitchen cabinet. so now i need you to reblog this and say where you keep yours

#communal stuff like plasters cold and flu antiseptic cream etc. in a kitchen cabinet #specific medications for everyone's just wherever works in your room #i just keep mine on top of my bedside table i don't have a lot but my mum has a full make up case of meds now 😂
