Tumblr is just a nice little place where you can take off your ‘real person’ face and roll around in piles of garbage tailored to your unhinged hyperfocus five minutes before you stand up and go back to your zoom meeting

there used to be so many stars in the sky that you would have to scrape away a dozen of them that splattered on your windshield every time you drove somewhere, but now they're being over-hunted to make american flag merchandise. very sad

Setting up my office for my new job...it's time to take the Ao3 comments off the wall 😭

Well, that's it. I've just posted the last chapter of Towards Tyranny. It's really, really over. This fic has meant so much to me over the last almost-year. Life without it is going to be weird.

Honestly given it felt like the fandom died a couple months back, it's probably a good time to be done. But still, it's bittersweet. I'm really proud that I finished this thing, but I'll miss it.

Tav Ammakyl was dead. Long live Rina Gortash, Archduchess of Baldur’s Gate.

A coronation.

‘Without me you wouldn't have a wife,’ said Astarion from the chair. ‘Come on, Gortash, at least credit me with giving Faerun’s worst power couple their happily ever after.’

Enver and Astarion are tested.

She placed a finger on his lips. ‘Shh. Impero tibi. On your knees.’

We get back to Baldur's Gate, find out what Astarion's been up to, and Tav executes a plan she's been brewing for a while.

The author's blatant fetish. The one you picked this book up for. Because you also have that fetish.

Durge bg3 is so funny, imagine how fucking smug Bhaal was @ Myrkul after his chosen killed not just Ketheric, but Myrkul's avatar as well. He's never living that down, it's getting brought up at every meet up.

Bane is so fed up with it, "Your rabid dog son fucked our entire plan up, why are you acting proud" he says. "Yeah, and he did it by punting your scrawny skeleton ass into the dirt!", Myrkul has to be restrained before it becomes a fistfight.

SteelWatchr -- BG3 Tech AU👩‍💻📱💿

Trying to decide if I should write this thing or not...

A chance meeting with the star of the Baldur's Gate startup scene turns bored mainframe programmer Tav's life upside down. Gortash offers her an exiting job, good money, and even the first glimmerings of romance, but Wyll, her hacktivist ex, thinks there may be something sinister at play. Tav seduces Gortash in order to own his systems, but quickly finds herself in over her head. Things are worse than Wyll could ever have imagined, and Tav may not be able to get out. (Also Astarion is there as Tav's annoying flatmate and eventual office manager at SteelWatchr)

one day all of my followers will have played ace attorney in this i believe

Gort doodles. Pre bg3 fit??? I dunno…..he looks like a pirate lol I don’t know how to draw fantasy clothes lol

Okay so I'm outlining this tech AU thing and ngl it's like what if Fifty Shades of Grey had hacking and honestly? I love that for it.

Tav as Elliot, Gortash as Tyrell, Wyll as Angela, Astarion as Darlene, and BANE AS MR. ROBOT.

Watching Mr.Robot again and: 1) I wanna fuck Tyrell Wellik so bad because I really do have the worst taste in men. 2) The urge to write my BG3 tech AU where Tav is torn between hacktivist Wyll and dodgy startup founder Gortash has intensified. I had been planning to start an original but this would be fun.
