I will forever be upset that you can't take Rolan with you when you go to save Cal and Lia. I know we already have a wizard in camp, but he would have been a great asset to Moonrise. Plus, I just love the idea of having the option to tell him we can do it together. That it doesn't have to be either or. He defeated a number of shadow-fiends and shadow crows by himself before we help him. He is more capable than he believes himself to be. It always breaks my heart to hear him say he needs to be "rescued by you, of all people". And then for him to just give up and go back to Moonrise, it just never feels right

This is why I have several playthroughs! 🥰 I've done four different Durge's, all for different reasons. A mostly good, a mostly evil, a *true* good, and a true evil. I'm actually in the middle of Act 3 for both my True Good and True Evil. And then I also have Tav's who are good, morally grey, and evil

I feel like picking dark urge for your evil playthrough makes sense but I also think dark urge is more interesting when you're trying *not* to be evil so my hot take is that Durge should be your good playthrough so you care more when things go wrong and Tav should be your evil playthrough so you have no one to blame but yourself

Portfolio Day

May as well throw the rest of my artsy fun hat in the ring for this one~ I'm still just an amateur hobbyist but I enjoy having fun with art. Sometimes it might be cursed but sometimes I take it seriously too~ I'll share some of my favourites for this one though!

More below the cut!!!

I had to go searching for this post because I am reading a manga and came across some that immediately made me think of @meanbossart Durge

Manga: The Story of Kaii and Asuka

Following the last art, can you pls share some thoughts on Du drow's worshipping?

(The art in question, I'm pretty sure)

I mean, there is only so much to say. He applies the same fervor with which he adored Orin Bhaal to Astarion. As a severely neglected and isolated child and teen, I think the only kind of love he was ever encouraged to express was one of Biblical proportions towards his father, and his sister by matter of familial bond. After a life of cold indifference, I think he really reveled in that and feels completely directionless without it, no wonder he tends to latch onto people the way he does when he feels like he's formed a connection; the guy despises emotional middle grounds, you were either meant to come together by the whims of the universe or you might as well be a nobody (huh, that's kind of exactly how he was sold on Bhaal, too. Funny that!).

The point is - DU drow might as well see romantic relationships as a form of religion. He doesn't do this on purpose or with awareness, of course, so there are inconsistencies and his adoration is NOT absolute, as much as he would like to think otherwise (much like his adoration for Bhaal was most definitely not consistent or absolute, either) but he is just... Compelled to approach it with a degree of reverence that is at times sweet, and other times frustrating.

Things like kissing and caressing someone's feet and legs, letting a partner walk all over him (mostly physically, but occasionally figuratively), taking his time adoring their bodies and providing them with pleasure or offering his own body as tool, a source of entertainment or of satisfaction - and this devotion should in theory be boundless. This is why he has scars.

The thing is, he wants to be worshipped as much as he worships others as well, and while he doesn't express it (or even understands it) anything less than that does leave him feeling a little... Insecure in a relationship. And being as in-sightless as he is that feeling would just fester into frustration overtime with someone who doesn't know how to read him.

Luckily, Astarion is as perceptive as he is long-suffering!
