the Baldur’s Gate 3 fandom is like the one place where you’ll find numerous people going “i need him carnally” and you look up the character they’re talking about and they have 5 lines of dialogue. GIRL WHO IS THAAAAAT

Mestionora: Your little shumil almost killed a god, you know?

Rozemyne: Oh fuck, I’m so sorry, we are never coming back here again, I am so incredibly sorry, oh my god.

I just learned today, after a good 700 hours in-game, that it's possible for Aradin and his crew to attack you at your camp in act 3 (through someone saying, paraphrased, that if you enjoy him as a character you must not have played act 3), and I'm honestly so bloody into this possibility now.

Like, sure, on one hand that's textbook fantasy thug behavior and I like that he has the chutzpah to do it, but also... yeah, go on and tell the person you learned was hired to capture the Nightsong maybe three hours into the game, about how the Nightsong is chilling at your camp. Truly, the man who was offered enough money for this contract to have him set for life, and who'd abandon an archdruid and some of his own crew because they got attacked can be trusted with that information.

I'm sure nothing can go wrong if you tell him, he's such an absolutely 100% trustworthy individual. Surely this man has not done anything nefarious or underhanded (such as attacking a person at their camp) in his life. You should also give him a copy of the key to your room at the Elfsong in case he wants to drop by later for tea and crumpets...??????

I know this person likely meant that this is a reason one shouldn't like him, but if anything, I honestly enjoy his character like three times more, now that I know this can happen. He's a greedy, cutthroat, an kind of stupid man who is only an adventurer because his daddy was one, and all he wants is money enough to retire.

He's barely- to moderately hinged. I'm obsessed with him now.

Aradin is hot and I’m tired of people acting like he’s not.

I said I wanted to romance him on a Reddit thread and people were like “eww no” “I want to punch him” and the most insulting one “why not Art Cullagh, they have the same hair!”

You know Art? The guy in a coma for act 2? Totally comparable to Aradin imma right???

Aradin is such an interesting character that people unfairly hate on. You meet him on his two worst days. At the grove, he just saw his friends die, is almost locked out of the grove, can die, then has an old man acting all high and mighty like Aradin should have just died instead of running for safety. I’d be pissed too!

Is he racist against teiflings? Kind of. If you play as a Teifling you can push him on it and find out he thinks Teifling come from devils. He’ll even apologize to you! That’s a lot better than how the Druids treat the teiflings!

Second time you meet him he’s alone and we never see any of his crew again. So this guy has lost all his friends and is at the point where he’s desperate to try and make their deaths mean something. If he can get this money then his friends didn’t die for nothing.

And it sucks that your only options are to lie to him or kill him. He’s been through so much and I can’t give him a hug.

Basically Aradin is a sad wet cat that I am helpless but to love and defend against everyone. He is my beautiful baby boy and I will not replace him with coma art.

Here's the AO3 link but it's also all under the read more.

Thanks to @redroomroaving for sharing the song thoughts that inspired this.

Summary:

Some sort of stream of consciousness poem from Aradin's POV, about being mad as hell because the world wants to grind you down.

~~~~

Wheel of fortune’s grinding everyone down

We grease the wheels

Everything’s going blood-smooth in this town

They say scrabble scrabble scrabble, pull yourself up by your bootstraps

bootstraps

I haven’t seen a boot that lasted more than a year since I was born.

The best leather I get to see catches in my teeth

When another prick kicks

Right in the mouth, on his way up

Enough boot treads'll press any face into a scowl

Enough pressure’ll make anything howl

And then they say we’re angry like we chose to be

Vicious little pricks like we know to be

‘Kid runs his mouth, kid likes to start fights’

Too damn right

I’d rather be pissed off than pissed on

Bootstraps. You crawled your way up on luck, fuck

And smiles and favours and others’ backs

Not leather straps and car park scraps

You're a wry bastard, sly bastard, twinkle in your eye bastard

Even ‘bastard’ sounds better in your mouth.

A quirk of the lip goes down smooth

The shit gets me shoved out of bars, gets you pulled into beds

You get your kicks, I get another kick in the head

Throwing bodies overboard to keep yourself going

Greasing wheels

Hell I’d pay to see you take the wrong turn

See that smooth old luck let you crash and burn

I don’t have the change to change a thing

But you've only got to be unlucky once.

I've got practice, me.

Been unlucky every time, it’s fine

Wheel of fortune’s grinding everyone down

Never raised us worth a damn

Then you just got to lift yourself up, lad

It’s mad, I’m mad as all bloody hell

But they’ll say well

It’s what I did

Got to be a people person, get out there and

Scrabble scrabble scrabble

It’s fucking gravel mate

No ground left to plough

No chancers getting chances now

If you were me, if you were me

You’d have the practice too

Just got to get out there and watch yourself fail

Simple, mate

Pull yourself down and drown, that’s blood-smooth in this town

me, talking about the origins: i can't deny they're attractive, of course, but i can't explicitly say that i'm sexually attracted to them, especially considering how all of them seem to be carrying too much baggage for me to form an objectifying view on them. it's easier to see them as like family most of the time yk :) but yeah they're all great romances and friends and i love them all very dearly

me, talking about the npcs: i need them oiled lubed hog tied honey glazed sugar sprinkled cream filled lightly toasted all night all day from the kitchen floor to the table—
