i need to speedrun finishing bg3 so i can be over it but i just had the Big Romance Scene with astarion and i have to log off to combat the nausea (/pos)
#it was sooooooooo romantic#and we mightve fucked nasty on his grave after but thats neither here nor there#i lauv him#astarion haters just dont get him like i do#i love a pathetic annoying man#we are on our redemption arcs officially now#i started mine before him but thats ok#sorry for being madly in love with one specific character im queer and traumatized ok#in my defense my first playthru i was literally romanceless because i fumbled the bag so many times#i wanna do another with gale and another with wyll#but that is hard when the game is like 80+ hours long#he is just my pookie bear ok.#ASTARION HATERS JUST DO. NOT. GET ITTTTT!!!!!#i demand everyone who thinks astarion is just some cruel annoying guy to watch his romance cutscenes#ESPECIALLY the dark urge one#HE WAS SOSWEET TO ME#what if i was a man in love with another man and i was told by the little guy in my head to kill him in my sleep and the man takes care of#me even though i am literally fighting my binds to try and stab him and rip his throat out graphically.#what if he spoke so sweetly to me during it.#what if he was kind.#the people are right durge is the best way to romance astarion#what if we both were violent and deadly and did bad things because we were told to#what if we both just wanted to be free of what forces us to do such horrible things#what if we were so in love and heal together

i gotta say playing as durge and finding the Prayer for Forgiveness in the mind flayer colony has genuinely made me unwell. Durge and gortash..... I'm rotating them. gnawing on them. absolutely freak4freak. help.
#man the detail about telling halsin that you're deathly afraid of krakens though you've never seen one#and then finding a journal down there that describes it as being like the belly of a kraken is sosososo good#especially when it's confirmed that you spent a lot of time down there after you were deposed#AND that you tried to strangle that lady with your own disembowled intestines like damn durge what a little freak (affectionate)#Just an incredible area for durge players really#I do wish your companions (esp your LI) could react to the stuff you find there and the implications ™#Really the only way it could be better#baldur's gate 3#bg3#bg3 spoilers#dark urge#dark urge x gortash#dark urge spoilers

going a little insane tonight over gort kicking some of zeke’s teeth out and zeke completely not understanding why he (zeke) is doing this but instinctively grabbing the teeth and clutching them so tightly to his chest as gortash goes to pick them off the ground
(the kick was for zeke looking up angry at him while writhing in pain on the ground. he still has fight in him. the ferocity of the wild and all… and gort’s just like ‘delicious’ and brutally kicks his skull in. creation through destruction. consumption…)
#massive legs and arms gort truther. those kicks hurt and he put everything in that one especially 😬#bg3#enver gortash#oc: zeke#gortash#gortash & zeke#baldur's gate 3#the dark urge

Woe, The Elder Brain/The Dark Urge fanfic be upon ye!
'OP do you take constructive cri -' i do not. enjoy it or perish.
#im kidding i do take constructive criticism#now that you've seen my pretty little pictures you should also read my silly little writings#bg3#b3 spoilers#the absolute#the elder brain#the dark urge#elder brain POV bc im insane#one of my favourites in the long line of dark urge's insane exes#you should also read my 'the hunt...' but 15K words is a harder sell#especially considering u have to go thru three chapters of gortash's internal monologue to get to any porneo#monkey paw there's a lengthy sex scene#u have not correctly predicted which of the three tagged ships is going to have a lengthy sex scene#u should also read my durge/lae'zel fic#i think its neat even though it's not very insane at all

OK, the Underdark bit I've been most worried about for Rakha...
"Ah! A visitor! You're a welcome sight!"
Rakha is on guard immediately meeting this man. The only other such person she's met before - Wyll identified them as hobgoblins - was Ragzlin, one of the three leaders of the goblin camp aboveground. This fellow, though, smiles brightly at her and turns away from the large stack of books he has been examining, with no trace of hostility or malice in his manner.
"But," he goes on cheerfully, "let us observe the customs of the locals."
Narrator: The scholar's brow tenses. His voice spills into your skull, the spores connecting mind to mind.
Rakha squeezes her own eyes shut as her brain seems to vibrate with the man's voice. Blurg, proud member of the Society of Brilliance, at your service.
Then he flinches back and groans, rubbing his temple. "Hgn--nzzt. Or perhaps not. Your mind is far more complex than that of the fungi."
Rakha opens her eyes slowly. Society of Brilliance. She recognizes that name, too - the trader on the road to the creche mentioned working for them. The trader Rakha killed for being an ass to Lae'zel and threatening to steal a githyanki egg.
The man seems harmless, but she does not trust him. "Were you here when the duergar attacked?" she asks carefully.
Blurg smiles ruefully. "I observed the fight from a distance," he says. "Combat is not my field of expertise, but the myconids handled themselves well enough." He gestures around him. "My colleagues and I are working to improve conditions in the Underdark. This need not be such a dire, hostile place."
Rakha considers this, then relaxes slightly. Whatever this Society might be, Blurg does not grate on her the way Esther did; the beast urge remains at its low-level hum in the back of her mind.
Blurg, on the other hand, is looking at her with sincere interest. "It's curious to find a surface dweller here. What has brought you down so deep?"
(A/N: As usual - Rakha's primary resemblance to Hector is that her inclination is to be completely honest roughly 100% of the time. However, the only honest answer here goes straight to the tadpole; I think Rakha would have been more likely to talk about Moonrise Towers and their destination.
I know why they did it this way - bc they're setting up Omeluum's arrival - but it's always a bit annoying when the exact conversational tack I want to use isn't an option. Cos realistically it's already been established that telling a stranger who knows about such things that you have a tadpole is a recipe for being treated like a ticking time bomb. But we work with what we've got. XD )
"A mind flayer infected me with a tadpole," Rakha says with a slight shrug. She doubts this man will know anything about what that means, of course - and if he does, his reaction will probably be only fear. But there's no more point in sugarcoating the situation here than there has been anywhere else.
To her surprise, though, he perks up curiously. "Truly remarkable! But why come to the Underdark where they hold so much power?"
Rakha blinks. Curiosity is not the reaction she expected. And she can't help wondering if there are answers to be had here.
Explain the whole story.
Blurg listens with intent interest as Rakha, in quick clipped sentences, lays out the state of their adventure so far. He clicks his tongue thoughtfully when she's finished. "You were infected by an illithid tadpole? It's a miracle you're still intact. You must be worried sick - but have no fear! I have a friend who may be able to assist!"
Before she can ask him what she means by that, her head rings as the hobgoblin gives a shout through the connecting network of spores around them. Omeluum!
A pause - and then another ringing mental voice, this one lower and more resonant than Blurg's. I hope this is important, Blurg. My zurkhwood samples need constant attention.
"It is!" Blurg says excitedly, abandoning the mental communication and calling down the pathway behind him. "This adventurer has an illithid tadpole inside her head. But she hasn't turned!"
"No ceremorphosis?" says the deeper voice, now aloud as well. Rakha turns in time to see the new arrival--
"That's impossible," the mind flayer says placidly. "But intriguing. Are you looking to have it extracted?"
All of them go completely still, staring wide-eyed - for a moment too astonished to react.
Lae'zel finds her voice first, and her tone has gone ice-cold with trembling rage. "Ghaik!" she snaps. "Your head will make a fine trophy for my queen!"
"Please - hold," says the illithid; its tone has a muted urgency that might be a panicked shout in any other race. "I understand your rage against my kin. One of my brethren forced a tadpole into your eye - or ear, perhaps? But I assure you, I stand with the Society of Brilliance, not the colonies of my people."
Rakha barely hears him. Her heartbeat feels suddenly very loud in her ears, rage suddenly consuming everything else. Her vision pales out and the beast roars in her head. ENEMY. KILL.
She trembles with the urge to leap forward as she did back on the nautiloid, to hurl itself at this creature that is like those who captured her and destroy it, rip the tentacles from its head and shove a knife through that gaping maw of teeth beneath.
But--
She looks past Lae'zel's seething expression to Wyll behind her. He knows the hunting of monsters, but he has gone still with an expression of wary curiosity. He hears the same thing she does - there is something different about this illithid. Something strange, a mystery that tugs at the rational part of her mind.
And if she fights here, it might turn the myconids against them. And she does not wish them dead; she wants to bring them Nere's head and purchase another moment of peace.
"The myconids wouldn't appreciate us fighting here," she rasps out, her voice strained with the effort of resisting the blood urge. "I'll listen."
"Fool!" Lae'zel snarls. "They infest your head and invade your dreams, and still you would parley?"
Rakha ignores her. This isn't about the illithid, not really-- it's about the strangeness of this moment, and her need for answers, and her own inward struggle. It's another moment where the beast has wanted to kill and she has held it back, which is a sort of victory.
She half-expects Lae'zel to attack regardless, and hasn't quite decided whether to stop her. But Lae'zel remains still; her eyes are burning like coals with frustration... but she follows Rakha's lead and waits, a hand on her sword but leaving it undrawn.
The illithid seems to relax slightly. "I ask only that you refrain from violence," it says gravely. "I respect that your opinion of my kind may be... charged." It takes a slow, careful step forward. "If that settles matters for the time being - would you like a diagnosis? Open your mind to me. Let us see what lurks within?"
Rakha's jaw sets tightly at once. She has many invaders already in her head; she does not need another. Certainly not an illithid. "Never mind," she says curtly. "I'm done with mind flayers touching me."
The illithid tilts its head to the side. "I see," it says. It does not seem bothered by her attitude - but there is an odd air of regret in its monotone voice. "I will remain here... if you change your mind..."
#bjk plays bg3 durge#rakha the dark urge#whoo boy :P#i went around and around on this one#part of rakha really just wanted to rip omeluum up on sight#which is like... fine if that's what she needs to do - i'm trying not to be too precious about her killing npcs besides the companions#but tbh especially as she's starting to resist a bit more her giving in to the urge is often the least interesting option :P#and (as writer86 pointed out to me) her curiosity/needing the facts is one of the things that most works against the urge for her#and omeluum is decidedly weird enough to spark that#there was no way she was gonna let him poke around in her head tho :P#so i guess we get to find out if good ol' omelette shows up at the iron throne even if you didn't do his act 1 quest

Gale: Very good. Now I want you to picture in your mind the concept of harmony. As true as you can. Armas: [BARD] Harmony comes easily to you. Allow it to wash over your mind and magic.
I have no idea if that is TAV option but I LOVE how bard Durge can find sense of harmony easily with their bardic skills.
#Armas especially used to use their songs to calm the urges#one of their healthier life choices they've made#bg3#dark urge#oc: armas#.catthatplays

it kinda makes me sad how i was really hyperfixated with bg3 almost from the first days it came out in early access, but after it finally released i did a couple of unfinished playthroughs and now i find this game repellent and even the thought of it makes me exhausted
like, brain, what the fuck??? i remember when i couldn’t do anything for weeks because i couldn’t stop thinking about this game
#i think this is partly due to the fandom and the writers who openly communicated with the fandom#especially the post/massage from one of the writers who says that only astarion has some kind of special relationship with dark urge#and like i was obsessed with durge but i was romancing shadowheart and it seemed to me that she also have a special chemistry with my char#and i also overall had some kind of distaste for astarion and reading this statement really lessened my enthusiasm for the game#like urghhh i know it looks kinda childish but i guess it's just the way my brain works#perso

Well as of last night I’ve finished my first dark urge run…. And I already miss my tav. 🥺
Like, I know I can just head canon and write fanfic about post campaign stuff but I’m still sad that their game is finished. (I mean, yes, I could start their game over but I’m trying not to do that. Maybe a while down the line I’ll do a replay but not for while). It was so much fun and they’re probably one of my favorite ocs I’ve ever made. So I might be ranting about them for a few days lol
Thinking about posting a few pics of them as they’ve grown throughout the story but I’m undecided. Honestly I could talk about my Tavs till the cows come home so I’ve been trying to stop myself from just going off about them whenever I have the chance cuz I don’t wanna be annoying 😅
#baldur's gate 3#bg3 tav#oc: asura#dark urge#I’m sad that it’s over but it was a fun experience#especially since my sister kept me company the whole time and we were both invested in the story/roleplaying#also learned I’m a bigger simp for Halsin that I realized#why did no one warn me???#that he’s so damn sweet and tender with Tav??#especially during the end game dialogues and epilogue#like my heart just melted I love him so much#like a ridiculous amount 😩
