@kharonion wizard chest but with a side of Callistus ass because he insisted on being in the picture

Because we know his story, @katsigian and I both refuse to objectify Astarion and put him in slutty clothes, so we both independently compromised and put Gale in all the slutty clothes instead 🤣

❝ the moon rests above the evergreens and the misty mountains, shimmering opalescent through the forest canopy and showing me my path. Not only are the wolves howling tonight, but so am I. Full moon tells us so. The shadows that it creates are my home, and you will see nothing but my glimmering moonstone eyes looking back at you. ❞

Calm, competent, and quietly dangerous, Callistus is a skilled force of nature. That is, when he's not reading cheap romance novels and doting on children. Cal, as he's better known, smiles easy and laughs easier. He's shy around people he admires (and likes) and will stop at nothing to show them how much he adores them. But, put his bow in his hands and tell him of a target that needs dispatching, and Cal will revel in the hunt; he is an excellent tracker and a deadly hunter who has no qualms about defending those need it in any way possible. Even if somewhat questionable.

𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢𝔣𝔩𝔦𝔢𝔰⭒๋⊹*⭑─── ship rambling 0.1 - combat and the things in between

I'm finally progressing further in bg3 and I'm getting more interactions between Cal and Karlach but there was one that dug at me.

I won't say exactly when or where it happens for spoiler reasons, but Karlach brings up that they have to find Dammon soon and Cal replies with a very thinly veiled "don't worry, we'll find him 🥺" even though he's worried beyond belief because she's hurting. He's scared the engine'll burn into nothing and she won't have even had the chance to properly live a life of her own. Of course, Callistus wants the ability to actually physically interact with her instead of burning on contact, but he's more concerned about making sure she gets to live.

[ for context, something that I imagine they do almost every night, since they can't sleep together, is they'll sit together instead and talk. Cal tells Karlach about all of his travels he's had as a ranger and regales her with stories of his hunts. And Karlach will tell him stories of her own past, her childhood. The closer they get, the more comfortable she gets telling him about her time in the hells, specifically those parts that aren't easy stories of battle. But what they spend the most time on, is talk of what they'll do when they're both free. They'll chat about what they'd like to do, and where they'd like to go, all of those things they'll do together, finally, one day soon. Laid out beside each other, wishing they could touch, but instead making do with laying close as they can get. ]

So when, during this prior conversation about her engine, Karlach tells Cal that he needs to "watch your left flank because you leave it wide open. And if I'm not there to watch it for you one day, you're going to get cut open" it reminds him that there's a chance she won't make it and they won't be able to go through with all of their plans they've made. He's reminded that one day she could be gone from the world.

It scares him all over again right to his bones because he's gotten so used to her being there that he never even thinks about being a little looser and less watchful in combat. Karlach will watch Cal's weak spots for him, just like he watches hers. Sometimes she's a little too focused on offense, so Cal hangs back behind her somewhat so she'll never be flanked and he can be defense. They've become so attuned to how the other fights that they just fill in the gaps that the other misses or forgets about it. They'd hate to lose the other too soon to a surprise blade, so they make sure it doesn't happen.

Callistus has already become so used to her being there and he's already become so attuned to her that being reminded of potential loss terrifies him more than anything else he's faced before. It's not been long, but he already knows he'd spend the rest of her years with her if she'd have him. I don't think he even believed in the concept of soulmates before he met Karlach and got taken out at the knees by how much he liked her immediately. So of course, he'll do anything in the world to keep her.

[katsigian]

A heem heem

[ Very minor Karlach romance path spoilers below ]

OUGHHH my heart. Callistus melts into a ranger sized puddle and not because she's currently 1000°f. She called him baby 🌚 Cal is going to just simply pass away now he ascends into a higher state only to fall right back down to earth because that's where Karlach is

They're driving me insane. I am gods most insane person because of them. Mind gone whenever they meet. And it's not like they're even doing anything that spicy!! They're literally just flirting and being sweet and that's enough!!

Like are you joking me. She's just a tiny bit taller than him just enough that he has to tilt a little to reach her theyre so facking adorable

[katsigian]

WAIT

KARLACH WITH HER FULL ON PROTECTIVE ARMOR AND GIANT BATTLE AXE

AS OPPOSED TO HER LEETOL CAL IN HIS SLEEK EMBROIDERED COAT AND THIGH HIGH BOOTS AND HIS LITTLE DUAL WIELD DAGGERS

I'm losing my mind 🌚😭

I am so normal ───── immediately dies because she needs to bend down to kiss him and he needs to go up onto his tiptoes and it's adorable

[katsigian]

Whehfhwjdwhdgehs look at them. Do you see my vision. Very beautiful. Very powerful. bi relationship where they're just so incredibly. Happy together.

Cal went and caught feelings for her accidentally he's got heart eyes and everything

Karlach has both me and Callistus kicking our feet and twirling our hair. I got some footage of the Emerald Grove party scene at camp and that boy is crushing so hard on her oh my GOD

[katsigian]

So my rolls afterwards were all nat 20's in regard to animals - Cal saw a big wolf, he wanted to pet the big wolf, he successfully got the big wolf to come lay his head in Cal's lap. So I suppose I just gotta make it canon now that he Does love animals! For realsies! I guess!

Yknow he was supposed to be a little scarier than he is currently, he's a gloom stalker and has hunted down some of the most terrifying monsters. But whenever he sees any sort of animal or child, Cal is suddenly all doting and caring and gentle. Picking him up in my mouth and shaking him around

So something you should know about me is that I have terrible luck. Playing bg3 means that all of my rolls are evidence of that bad luck. But I just got my very first nat 20!

On a roll to calm down a rat

Cal just loves animals ig!
