Gratulerer med dagen! 🇧🇻🥳

I already wanted to draw Åse in Norwegian national costume and thought today would be a good time to post it. Today in Norway is the 17th of may witch is the Norwegian day of independence.

Art and design thoughts below

When Åse still lived in Norway, on days like these his family would probably go into Kapp and watch the festivities. When Åse was younger she would take part in the children’s parade. As he got older though, he’d skip out on the celebrations. Only sticking around long enough to swipe a piece of cake, then hiking up his skirt and going home for the day. He also was never a fan of the shoes, though thats more because they were rarely worn and thus tended chafe. this drawing is intended to take place while he's a teenager but might look a bit older than intended.😅

He probably doesent celebrate much after he moved and ran away from home but will buy himself a pastry from the local bakery and listen to some music.

Also i'm not a clothing historian so take what im writing here with a grain of salt.

While the national costume of norway is the Bunad what Åse is wearing here would be closer to a Festdrakt (party outfit). Bunads are usually tied to a specififc place in Norway. Bunads in the way we know them today didn't really start appearing until the early 1900s. The festdrakt in comparison are outfits that dont usually have ties to specific places and can be personalized more or otherwise stray from the rules set in place by the regional bunads. The term festdrak was orignally coined in 1997 by Torunn Valland. I couldn't find any specific bunad for the area Åse lives in that was in use during the time she grew up there. So I decided to make my own design.

I took basis in already existing designs like the øst-telemark bunad. While Åse prefers more androgynous clothing he didn't start experimenting with his gender identity and expression before after he came to America. Considering how she and her mom were specifically good at tailoring they had the ability to design their outfits how they wanted them and I think Åse would relish the opportunity to make her own personalized outfit for a change instead of someone else's. I wanted this to be reflected in the embroidering as thats Åses favorite thing to do. I simplified it a bit for my own sanity when I draw it but in real life it would be covered with embroidered flowers and plants.

(source 1, 2) Sorry that most of my sources are in norwegian, but if youre an english speaker and want to learn more here's an articale that I think is pretty good.

Baldur's Gate 3 Companions 17. May headcanons

Which of the BG3 companions would join Norwegian Tav in the 17th of May parade?

Karlach:

Karlach would be distraught if she DIDN'T get to join. She shouts "Hipp hipp hurra" WAY louder than anyone else

Gale:

Gale would join to be supportive, but if the weather is nice he would be drenched in sweat. You ask him if he's good or if he'd like to leave the parade and find some shade, but he's like "nah I'm good" (he's not).

Astarion:

Astarion would NOT join unless you had a nat20 persuasion check, and even then, he would be complaining the entire time.

Lae'zel:

Lae'zel would join but only because she misunderstood and thought it was a march to battle.

Shadowheart:

Shadowheart wouldn't join the parade itself, but would be watching it among the audience from a nice shady spot, and wave to you when she sees you <3

Wyll:

Wyll would would 100% join, and shed a tear when the national anthem starts to play.

Halsin:

Halsin would join, but he didn't manage to find a flag to wave, so he's using a branch with leaves instead.

Jaheira:

Jaheira would be watching the parade from her balcony and waving to you when she spots you.

Minthara:

Minthara also misunderstood and thought it was a march to battle.

Minsc:

Minc joined at first, but got lost in the crowd. You find him the next day, covered in russekort and sleeping in a ditch.
