First five mins of bg3 -

Durge is freaking out, Shadowheart is concerned and thinking 'Great I have to team up with two people who might kill me'

And Lae'zel is just like 'We gotta GO the ship is crashing!'

Minthara and Astarian

Not talked about enough as a pair, platonic or otherwise. Considering that even Minthara likes Scratch, she'd like Astarian too. She supports his ascension, yes, but I think she disapproves when his attitude changes. Thats the big thing. She supports gaining power if it means more freedom, but Ascended Astarian is not free.

Spawn Astarian, I feel she likes more, a lot more then Gale lol. He's the annoying chaotic younger brother she never wanted (lol) and I know for damn sure she'd help the group search for a cure, just like how suggests raiding the abusive pet owner's place to get Scratch back

Another convo I can picture between Kratos and Astarian -

"I wish I could get rid of these. I hate them." Astarian washes his shirt in the river. It got dirty after their last battle with some undead.

Kratos doesn't bother washing any of his clothes, but he does clean the axe he favors in combat.

"Your scars?"

"Obviously! It ruins my reputation! Reminds me of people I hate, parts of myself that.. You know what? Just forget I said anything. I'm just a whelp compared to you, I'm sure."

"You are young, yes. And have much room to grow. Your past actions should not seal how you act now." Kratos pauses, looking in the water at his reflection before turning his gaze towards Astarian, "You cannot see your reflection. Why do your scars bother you still?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course they--"

"Does someone in camp point them out in conversation?"

"Ah.. No. No one points them out. Except for my own thoughts. I want to see my reflection, but then I'll see my scars too. I'll see the version of me that I hate."

"Hmm.." a low grumble, "..I share your sentiments."

"You? Hate yourself? But your as strong and stoic as Lae'zel. Your friends respect you."

"Yet they do not know my past, not all of it. Once, I let anger and vengeance rule my mind. That part of myself will never go away, no matter if I trim my beard or grow it longer--"

"So you are bald.. sorry, continue."

"Humph. My point is that hatred is taught. Including self-hate. It took time but.. You can learn to be kind to yourself, Astarian. If that is what you decide."

"Urgh, that sounds far too hard..!" He groans before setting the shirt on a branch to dry, "..You don't know what I went through, nor I you, so how can you say that with such.. optimism?"

"My son, Atreus. He is on his own journey now. Before, I did not believe I could change but he showed me otherwise. I wanted to be better for my son."

"I'm a little jealous. Just a little. He's a lucky boy to have a father like you. I don't even remember mine."

"I think you two would get along. He also has a habit of causing trouble."

"Please! The entire camp would be bored to tears without me spicing it up!"

Imagine the team traveling to Norway to search for a cure for Astarian an' they run into Kratos. Astarian needs a positive father figure even more then a love interest.

.......

Kratos - "These are yours?"

Astarian - "Yes. Not much to look at at, unlike myself, but they do well in a fight."

Kratos - "Keep them sharp. You have good form for a thief."

Astarian - "I'll have you know I-- Erm. Yes, Sir."

Saw the game awards.

[curioussquidd]

When your memory is fucked but then you suddenly recall you used to love dead bodies a bit too much.

My Tav was feelin the rumbles that only dead spider could satisfy

Some practice with simple designs and poses! I hate drawing overly detailed shit, I get bored way too fast. Simplicity all the way.

[curioussquidd]

Cursed ship prompt. You enter Raphael's boss battle and he starts singing "Point of No Return" from Phantom of the Opera. You're Durge Tav

[curioussquidd]

When I heard Minthara telling Tav about how her own mother tried to kill her, I decided to sketch out what little child Minthara looked like upon hearing that

If you look at it in reverse its equally sad

[curioussquidd]

Astarion - What? You've been staring st me for a while.. Is it my pretty face, perfect hair, or all of the above?

Tav - None, I was looking at your bite marks.

Astarion - What for? Does it bother you to have a vampire in the group? So sorry, I'd retract my fangs if I could but you'll have to talk to my master for that.

Tav - It doesn't bother me. Does it bother you? We can buy a scarf next time we see a merchant.

Astarion - How delightful! I'll only take red, purple, or white. Make sure its loose fabric. I hate anything tight.

Tav - Sure.

Astarion - Thats it?.. No joke, no witty remark?

Tav - I mean, do you want me to make a joke? Because I can try.

Astarion - No, no thats fine. I'm the funny one anyway... thank you.

[curioussquidd]

Accurate!

they're family :3c

Lae'zel and Shadowheart arguing

Shadowheart - Frog-faced bitch!

Lae'zel - That is not an insult. I have been researching frogs and you should know that some have the ability to poison you by touch, others are capable of eating birds.

Shadowheart - No, Lae'zel we're fighting. You're supposed to insult me back, not educate me.

Lae'zel - Your lack of education is the insult. Now, toads are different matter...

Shadowheart - What have I done.
