#Ashti romance

[anxietytwist]

[ataleofcrowns]

hi i'm absolutely in love with ashti... if you're up to it could you maybe say anything you want about her (random facts/hints about chap12 direction/ANYHTHING)

thank you so much for everything you do :')

As a very young child, around 4 years old, A was running across the docks of their old home town, then slipped in a puddle of water and fell on their mouth. They had no real injuries from the incident, but a tiny corner of their front right tooth was chipped off. You can spot it if you look very closely when they smile.

Also if you're on A's low romance route in CH12 you're in for a world of pain.

☀ Do you truly feel ready to rule? For everything? ☀

Havîn Teyran, They/Them - Charming, Kindness, Intuition, Cautious, and Passive - Their affinity is Death of the Sun! - Romancing Rozerîn & Ashti routes separately (I'm... currently sobbing over Rozerîn's at the moment dmgsmdg) - They're grieving for their parents! They're happy with new friends! They're so kind, it hurts!! But they're not just that, they're slowly becoming the Crown with everything that's happening!

[beardyplaysgames]

Trying to make my ATOC character in BG3. This is Ashte(I forgot there was already a character called Ashti oops) Lmao imagine if she romanced Ashti. Ashte and Ashti. Ashte so far is different to my current crown Niyaz who has made a right mess of well...everything. And I'm sure they/she will make a mess of everything in Baldur's Gate 3 because I make awful decisions.

[fancifulflora]

What're Kulîlk's relationships like with the love interests and side characters?

God, there are a lot of characters so forgive me asdjkj. Also, the story is still WIP so I'm working on info from ch 10 and below and each of the LIs are written as if she is in their route)

Ashti/Azad:

Kulîlk's thankful for their tutelage in her sword skills, appreciating their dry humor since it's not something they can so readily get from their other servants or guards. Above all, she hopes to not disappoint them and wishes to prove that the small amount of trust she's received from them was well placed. For now, she silently observes them when she can, trying to learn more about her protector through the way they behave and interact with others. If When caught, however, she'll embarrassingly deflect the conversation, even if it's a little obvious that she's staring.

Dara/Delal:

She worries about the situation in Zerat, especially having recently learned of just how important it is for stability to return to the decimated regions of the country. Kulîlk also cares for her general dearly, making sure they're safe and alright in their reports to her and reassuring them of the progress she's making in her studies and training in her many letters to them. When she does hear of their return to Marabad and the condition they're in, a part of her wishes she was more upfront with her words, more willing to say things that were probably better off unsaid.

Xelef/Xelara:

Her Imperial Majesty really enjoys their presence around her. With ease, the Pale Sword makes her laugh and distracts her from her worries. There are also so few people that so easily cut through the mask that Kulîlk wears the way the mercenary can. She's no fool though, she knows that they've lied to her- used her in the past. She knows better than to assume their intentions to be genuine or their actions completely selfless. Yet, she still holds out hope that maybe the two of them have potential. That is until she hears about what has happened to the Mir's palace. Considering how her coronation went, to say that Crown Kulîlk is mad is an understatement.

Rozerîn/Rêzan:

They've naturally grown close to each other due to their positions, but Kulîlk truly views their sorcerer as a trusted friend on top of an advisor. They're both new to their positions, but unlike Kulîlk, their sorcerer has a talent for the work they do. It makes them a little envious, in all honesty. Kulîlk's mind sometimes wonders how easier things would be if she had been picked up and raised under the previous Crown- though she's quick to stomp out those thoughts as they come. Overall, she just wants to be a Crown that her sorcerer can be proud of serving and to grow a friendship where they can lean on each other for support. Though there are moments of affection between the two of them, it isn't really till she hears about the sleep their sorcerer is in that she realizes that maybe friendship isn't exactly what she's seeking. That, maybe, it isn't simply a passing crush on someone due to proximity and general kindness.

Tûjo and Heval:

She honestly feels a little bad for the two of them, knowing how the Pale Sword is, being their second and third in command certainly can't be an easy job. Kulîlk feels especially bad if she's currently romancing X. Though it's mostly because she's able to recognize the position the two of them have placed the Blades in, especially if most of them voted to march on from Marabad. She finds Tûjo to be especially endearing out of the two, the same way a moody cat might be and she's thankful for Heval's presence- the brief time they've spent together instilling advice she still follows as a Crown today. Overall, she wishes to be closer to them but is certainly in no rush to do so.

Şanazî:

Kulîlk is pretty impressed with the reports of Şanazî's archery skills but doesn't know her all that well. Regardless, anyone capable of knocking the Pale Sword down a peg or two has her thanks. (This applies to Tûjo and Heval as well)

Ishrah and Siham:

Spirits, Kulîlk adores them. Both of them. While she does wish Siham would be more comfortable around them, she's just happy to have a bond with those who serve her. Besides, Ishrah's presence alone is enough to alleviate her spirits when Kulîlk is down.

Ziryan:

She understands why they may be so nervous around her, being a bit of a rookie in their position, yet she has hopes that with time and experience, they might be more comfortable around her.

Ezo and Kaja:

Kulîlk loves them so much. She'll never tell them outwardly, figuring that her general wouldn't approve of her enabling their behavior but the two hold a firm place in her heart. Their lack of respect for authority in general is refreshing and their banter never fails to put a smile on her face.

Keko:

There's not much of a relationship between the head servant and Kulîlk, but she's eternally grateful for the flawless work they do in order to keep the palace running and operational. Whenever the opportunity arises, she's always certain to offer them a snack or some tea, hoping that it could provide some reprieve from their duties.

Lady Naza:

While she knows better than to trust any of the nobles, Lady Naza's general disregard for her wasn't taken as an insult or even a bad thing. Crown Kulîlk recognizes the value of having someone upfront with her and hopes that the two of them have a fruitful partnership in the future- that is if Lazy Naza is who she portrays herself to be.

Perjin:

There's not too much that Kulîlk knows about Perjin, but she does respect the magi. Any magi that doesn't wield their rank as a sword or looks down on others gets points in her book.

Kham:

Perhaps she's being foolish, but Kulîlk doesn't doubt Kham as much as those around her do. Peris are certainly not a monolith and while a lot of the evidence behind her assassination are Peri in origin, she would be a fool to immediately show suspicion to the peri under her roof. Kham is odd to her overall, but hopefully being upfront with her and trying to understand what issues her people have can help her get to the bottom of the string of assassinations.

I know it was just a WIP but your crown already has me like 😳😳 who are they going to romance?

hehe thank you! aand she's going to romance Ashti 🕺

[hawkesvarric]

MC in the back: wow, can’t believe I’m going to romance this idiot.

Ashti: you don’t have to.

MC: no, no, I’m gonna.

[gncrezan]

omg you're going to love a tale of crowns, the romance options are so good!!!

i just rmb to answer this bc i hit ch5 but I RLY AM !!! it is so cool to see such a carefully built up world based on the middle east and the creator’s kurdish heritage it’s just... WOW 💥‼️‼️ probably going to play thru it twice for rezan and ashti and i WILL be going BONKERS!!!

[ataleofcrowns]

rereading because i know the new chapter will ruin me and honestly. homophobic that there is not an option to romance lady naza. literally we get her for like two sentences and yet i am in love. screaming. im so obsessed. pink!!! she is yellow and pink!!! tall woman! large! broad! she is giving lamelia lefarve in sheer fuckability like the riz is truly. unparalleled. sorry to ashti but i have found a new beloved. not to be a lesbian but oh my god. if i could paint with any skill everything of mine would be covered in her image but alas. i will just have to lay here, on the floor, staring at the ceiling. thinking about lady naza with her high and complicated hair. and her jewels. and her yellow and pink. and her loud echoing fearless laughter. my god.

You're so valid for all of this. I had to look up who Lamelia Lefarve was but just based on vibes alone they're definitely similar, also definitely in stature. I would just put Lady Naza taller, say 1.91 cm/6'3 or thereabouts!!

Here's some facts about her if you haven't seen that post yet ✨

🖊🖊🖊

Okay so last time I told you about ASHTI, MARAT, TENZIN, RANI, KWANG, DIONNE, AND AVERY... This time..Jael

Cut for length which I should have done with Ashti lol

JAEL DENNIS ISHAQ FC: Inanna Sarkis

Anglo American Presbyterian father, Assyrian American Chaldean Catholic mother. Her full name is Jael Dennis Ishaq. Her parents are married but her mother insisted on keeping her own surname and passing it to her daughter, due to the history of Assyrians having their surnames forcibly changed in attempts by dominant groups to wipe them out, so it's a big deal for her to hang on to and pass down. Her father's surname is her middle name. She has two younger sisters Ayelet (25, secretary at an upscale fashion photography company) and Zibiah (sales agent in a large retail company, 23), and, an older brother Sargon (28, commercial architect, 28), an older sister Damaris (30, bakery assistant, married with three small boys). Jael is not close with any of them, middle child syndrome I guess. Despite emotional closeness to her family she keeps them at arm's length because she likes her independence Degree is in chemistry with a psychology minor, but she's an astrologist currently, also does Tarot. She's attracted to mystery and figuring things out, as well as attracted to the mystical. She likes working out what makes things tick, finding reason in the universe and in people. This is why she pursued both psychology and chemistry. psychology obvious, but chemistry less so. There was just something about the way it challenged her and how most reactions are very much like a puzzle. Her always deep-seated passion to understand the world around her channeled very well into it, since so much of everything can be broken down and explained via chemistry in some way. So a chemistry major helped satisfy her craving for understanding of the external world, psychology for the internal workings of people. She chose chemistry as the major over psychology as it seemed to have more job opportunities, and ones that would pay better more immediately. She doesn't think believing in the reality of hard sciences like chemistry means one has to dismiss the more soft, fluid ones like psychology, or even mystical "superstition" like astrology. It's just all different systems of making sense out of things. She's enthusiastic to test them all. Jael has a confident, forceful personality, rarely suffering insecurity or hesitation. She is dedicated to things she values, dismissive of that which she does not. Jael likes meaningful conversation at an emotional arm’s length. Difficultly accepting others, like things she finds strange or stupid or annoying, even if it’s harmless Jael likes things that set her apart from others, whether it’s her unusual heritage or her pursuit of magic. She likes feeling unique, special, and distinct from the herd. But she’ll also never fake it and get into something just for the sake of being different; she must truly have a passion for it. In the case of magic, she likes the challenge, the puzzle, and the power. Jael has a strong sense of empathy, often able to perceive and piece out the parts of themselves that others are keeping hidden. But it doesn’t make her kind or compassionate towards them, since she’s often disgusted by the flaws she finds.  This has made her cynical and skeptical of others, and of relationships in general, and contributed to her high standards for the latter. She wants to riddle everything out about everyone, but she bristles at being out under a microscope herself. Thirsts for both autonomy and commitment, to both be totally independent yet also wishes to be totally united with someone in partnership as her ideal romance. Her standards for this are high maintenance and uncompromising, making romance difficult for her despite her charm, allure, and active sex life. Physical beauty and personality are both important to her. Jael thinks of herself as straightforward and that she doesn’t like games, but actually she does. It’s her base nature to scheme, seduce, and manipulate, to get her way or just for fun, though she’d be disgusted to face that about herself. She feels little compassion towards victims, but great anger towards perpetrators, and has a ruthless “eye for an eye” sense of justice. Jael values intelligence in others more than kindness. She also thinks she values others being straightforward but actually she gets mad at them sometimes when they are and she doesn’t like what’s said. But she believes she’d rather an ugly truth than a pretty lie. Once heard shouting in dorm, saw a guy choking a girl, calmly got her scissors and told him to leave or die. He left. She’s a lesbian, she flirts a lot and has had a lot of first dates, but sleeps with someone only after the third date, and has only had three serious partners to date in the last decade. She's always been very comfortable with death. She was completely calm at her great grandmother's funeral when she was six and didn't understand the fuss. She also never made a big deal over the passing of pets that she had loved dearly. The rest of her family worried she was a cold little girl but it wasn't that she didn't care about their loss, it was that she accepted it. She was born with the sort of understanding that it's just a natural part of life that takes most people decades, if ever, to come to terms with. She's an intensely loyal friend but expects the same loyalty in return, and will drop a person entirely and permanently if she feels she has been betrayed. She craved drama bad in high school, and was a bit manipulative and malicious about it, maybe might have encouraged someone to literally stalk their crush outside the pizza parlor where they worked just to see what would happen. Was always right on top of it if she smelled trouble, popcorn in hand. But was ridiculously helpful to her friends too, whether it was keeping them rigorously on track in a study session or getting a carefully calculated vengeance on someone who had dared treat them like...like, well, like how she treated a lot of people, honestly.
