can you imagine being Essek and watching this tiefling on a total power trip turn into a 10 feet tall--incredibly ripped??--god and kill the boy you're catching feelings for?? And brand you with some kind of evil cursed hivemind magic you're worried might corrupt you forever?? This thing that your friends swear was once family, but all you see is something monstrous and otherworldly and tearing himself apart at the seams, screaming when all their loved ones call out to him??
Just. the way it must have felt to see Lucien go from that to. Just the most sweet and affectionate little tiefling. Gentle and curious and so full of joy and wonder. He's got the brightest smile and warm eyes and this mischievous playfulness. He runs off at first--startled, scared. But then once he's calmed, the first real word he says other than Empty is Love. And right after that he calls out for his Magician, for this man who did everything he could to save him, held him close and kissed him so tenderly on the forehead--
And Caleb throws his arms around Essek and Veth and just watches the Nein all descend on Tealeaf and embrace him amidst laughter and tears and Molly's starting to smile again and Caleb's so so happy just to see him finally alive and.
In that moment, Essek understands why they came all this way--
#it is so so fascinating to me that deuces and ess knew lucien fIRST and i am so intrigued by how that would color their perception of#tealeaf when he's reborn#but also#there's something beautiful to me about seeing someone who you can't help seeing as a villain and a 'monster' just...finally break free#from these chains and become so warm and full of joy and love#seeing lucien melt as this gente affectionate tiefling who brings beau and yasha flowers and who gave everyone tiefling virtue names#also the implications of tealeaf calling the two members of the nein he doesnt recognize 'Empty'--deciding that theyre new#blank cards in the deck just waiting to be filled--#anyway sorry this was in my drafts and im just going through them now so heres this--

sorry but for two hundred years nobody saw astarions back and realised it was infernal? or on any other of his six siblings?
#there were SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE THEY SEDUCED#and NOT ONE noticed?#how many tieflings??#he has a tiefling SIBLING#sorry but i dont buy that bit#and i also dont buy that gale couldnt put two and two together about the karsite weave in his chest#and i also also dont buy that lae'zel hauls that fucking grinding wheel around everywhere...#astarion#baldur's gate 3#ALSO. this is me whining btw dw dw i dont find any like BIG FLAW™️ with it#i am completely aware that this was for the purpose of storytelling!!#we need Tav/Durge/whichever-Origin to figure it out in-game for the sake of the plots#and it does NOT ruin the suspension of disbelief. its only when you stop playing and start thinking that it becomes a moment of '???'#seriously larian did a good job with letting the story be believable during the game#i do not fault that at ALL

The problem with baldur's gate is it gets you ridiculously invested in your own Tav, who no one else knows or cares about
#I like to use character creation choices to imply an interesting life#So my Tav is like 40-50 has a couple prominent facial scars and a lot of facial tattoos that are faded#And has heterochromia but is implied that it's caused by an injury; the eye with a scar across it is red while the other is blue#Also they're a tiefling so the way they interact with this story is so different from the companions in such an interesting way#And why is he SO proficiencient in deception intimation persuasion and performance#My friends I've been live blogging to thought I was playing a bard because I use my bonus action to play the lute 80% of the time#But no they are a warlock who had to entertain to survive and then made a pact with an archfey to get out of the life they were stuck in#Maybe stuck in the fey wild for decades?#Initially I thought the guardian would be someone Tav knew so I made them match and she also has fae syndicate tattoos#Thinking maybe they knew each other before they got out; z via their pact and guardian communing w/a god and becoming a paladin#I don't know who DG is yet but I have a feeling this is not the case lol we shall see#ZT plays BG3

Losing my mind about Wyll with horns after you convince him not to kill Karlach. Corruption of the soul made manifest and in service of good rather than evil yes yes of course but also my tiefling is vibrating with excitement. Now she has TWO friends with horns
#bg3#bg3 spoilers#also wyll is definitely the og companion whos changed the most but i love everything theyve done with him#like the placeholder story they had was okay but i find everything with Mizora now much more compelling#but yeah the more he does the right thing the more 'monstrous' he becomes is so. chefs kiss#was worried for a second he would say something insensitive about the change in appearance that Terragon would take to heart#but aside from saying people are less likely to trust him i think he was pretty good about the whole thing. shouldnt have doubted him#and now after having interacted with other tieflings sparingly growing up due to how sheltered she was Terragon has even more new friends#shes already ready to share tips about horn care#em.chats#terragon

@smallerthanzer0 reminded me of my love for Lie To Me as a teenager which is a good part of the reason why anytime I encounter the concept that lying will inevitably lead to a tangled web that spirals beyond your control and come back to bite you in the ass, I'm just like, lol. skill issue.
#the other part of the reason was growing up in a large catholic family as a deep intrinsic nonbeliever. but bygones etc#anyway this does apply to essek but I forgive him cuz he was mostly just outmatched.#he was playing against a better more experienced liar so. I'll let it go.#honestly overall? very skillful lying. few could've actually gotten off as well as he did in his place.#tbh people put a lot of emphasis on the nein being ~just as morally grey~ as essek which I do not believe but#the real camaraderie there was not in the moral greyness but the fact that the nein are also a pack of fucking liars. i love them.#anyway brb while I yell from the rooftop 'LYING AS AN ACTION IS MORALLY NEUTRAL YOU'RE ALL JUST SHIT AT IT AND BITTER ABOUT IT'#this is why the coast is the best. they are a society that would turn lying into an artform.#case in point: fjord. vandran. jester.#this is also the thesis of the tiefling fic. which is why it's fun. you don't need to become a kinder person if you become a better liar.

thalia is so growing on me i love my rich woman who has Problems.. i gave her ice powers for like. the elsa vibes.
#but im like damn... gale...karlach....stay away from her... or else ur gonna explode in the end....#really a coin toss between those two and im gonna be sad at the end but that's the thalia experience 😭😭#also i dont think she's gonna save the tieflings... not bc she's evil but she generally doesn't care... and curing the tadpole is her utmos#priority. like she's already stressed with her chaotic magic killing her if she loses 50/50 now you have to add brain worms on top of that?#funny that shri'iia does more heroic deeds and she's like. the evil aligned chara#but thalia is generally very cold in a sense that she's always looking at the bigger picture and she's willing to sacrifice/disregard#who gets caught in the crossfire.. like that's just another responsibility she has to bear for Her. and she's very the type to sacrifice he#own happiness for her Duty vibe. like i think she's just learned how to be content with whatever she's left with.#also she's her father's heir bc she's the only child to her father's First Wife. and thalia get step siblings along the way but i think tha#grief of losing her mother / becoming an adult/handling adult affairs quickly made her jaded on a lot of stuff#and she feels like it's her responsibility to lead her noble house to higher pastures so her step siblings can live freely#like she's just taking all the work to herself - as the Heir. and that's what she was doing UNTIL she gets the wild magic#now suddenly she feels like she's cursed. and the fact that it's chaotic by nature and so dangerous..!! she can't stay in court or at home#over the fear of harming someone. and she's learnt that to get rid of a problem you always have to go to the root of it#hence why she's travelling around finding more info and source of the wild magic in hopes to cure herself from it#and she kind of put her life on Pause bc she believes she can't get anywhere with this curse. but its like gworl u put ur life on pause lon#before that.. anyway her end goal is that once she cures herself and she's normal again she'll prob marry some other old money heir#set up trusts for her siblings and live a quiet life. but that wont happen obvi hehe#also one of the siblings' name is melpomene... being named from the goddess of comedy thalia is kinda boring lol#essentially her story is like. she learns how to have fun. essentially. depending on how i rp her idk yet actually

5/12 May - Lily of the Valley. Legend tells of a lily of the valley who fell in love with a nightingale's song, so it bloomed only when the bird returned to the woods in May. People of the 1800's Victorian Era believed that lily of the valley meant a "return to happiness."
Elysian Frederick "Fred" Summerwish was a DM PC I played in the campaign I ran for over three years. Originally introduced to help his ex Ryn, it was later found out that Elysian and @acommonanomaly's Heidan Summerwish were not just soulmates, but two parts to one whole when their soul split at creation. They have found each other through hundreds of lifetimes, though their first lifetime ended in tragedy before they could meet. Elysian is an absolute disaster but has a heart of gold and would do anything for Heidan or their 2 husbands Talab and Ryn. Definitely one of the most fun characters I've played.
See the rest:
January | February | March | April
#my art#my ocs#artists on tumblr#dnd tiefling#tiefling#dnd sorcerer#Elysian is also who my cat is named after#because they're both dinguses#and lumps lol#in all seriousness though#Elysian overcame A LOT in the campaign#and I do anticipate next time he is seen he will be so much more solid than before#also the FRED thing LOL#I had to add that#it has become quite the inside joke in our campaigns XD#I am still unsure about this design#but I literally could not mess with the flowers anymore lol

Struggling to pick an ending w the whole Gale/crown thing because I feel like he could be a good God. And that I'd rather he have it than Mystra or any of the other options. He could, in fact, do so much with it.
Like I understand that it's a repetition of Gale's folly and his overambition. And depending on how he acts about it (like if he says "I could do good with it" versus "I could be powerful") my opinion could change, but recognising that you don't HAVE to be good doesn't mean that he shouldn't help people EVER, right? If the alternative is leaving the crown in the ocean, why not let Gale take it?
And then also just from a romance plot perspective, I don't know if he'll go back to dying from the orb if he loses the tadpole, but if the crown would keep him alive then I'd want him to take it? I've seen people frame the orb as being "the consequences of his actions" but if those actions were taken because he was trying to prove himself to his teacher/Goddess/lover (ew) then I don't think he deserves to die or continue suffering when there's a way to cure him. He could be a good God. Or even just happy and alive. Ambition as a whole isn't a bad thing, Gale's was bad because he was self-destructive and put it above connecting with others, like how Astarion's is bad because it comes at the expense of others.
I mean I guess if Gale decides to leave Tav when he gets the crown then that is a symptom of destructive ambition. But my ideal outcome would be him getting the crown and studying it, potentially surviving from it, and maybe eventually gaining strength he could use to help people? And is that really a bad thing? It feels like the Gale plotline wants you to talk him down from being powerhungry, and then talk him down further into apathy and a fucking. House-husband lifestyle.
I would understand if the game is trying to say that power corrupts, but in a world that already has so many Gods I feel like it doesn't apply as much as it does in the real world. If Mystra the Groomer can be a God, why couldn't Gale? Especially since he wants to you know. Help the helpless
But I don't know if this opinion is normal or if I just also have the same Must Be Good And Useful compulsions lol.
#idk I have thoughts#also I guess it'd be sad if he did become immortal given that my Tav is a tiefling that don't live much longer than humans anyway#but I also wouldn't want to hold him back from having a like. world-changing life goal and exploring his abilities just for his mortal gf#like he really loves magic. he really loves learning everything about it. I feel like it's fucked to try and convince him to give up on#his passion and stuff.#this is the same way as how I feel when you marry Sebastian in Stardew Valley and he goes from talking about wanting to live in the city#and having career goals. to living on a farm which is basically the opposite of that just to be with the PC#gale dekarios#baldurs gate 3#bg3#bg3 spoilers#shut up maia

Canon-divergent fact of the day feat. yours truly's lore:
Raksha frees Hope before the events of Baldur's Gate 3. Finding out about her is actually *one* of the main reasons she decides to get away from Raphael (with a magical pendant to boot, so he can't find her with his magic mirrors etc).
I do imagine a scene in which he finds his wife trying to comfort Hope and the two start having a fight that ends up with something along the lines of:
"I prohibit you to free her!" *Raksha looks straight into his eyes and breaks Hope's chains* "How... How dare you defy me!"
But honestly I think he loves her too much to actually punish her for disobeying or hurt her in general 💀 (I do like my Raphael to be "softer" when he truly loves someone, sue me)
#baldur's gate 3#bg3#azarel the hell-touched#raphael#btw this is also why she changes her name from Raksha to Azarel#she goes into hiding#txt#lore#he loves his lil plague-sender#since her thing is being a semi-distant descendant of Baalzebul so she knows all about contagion/insect plague spells#it's far enough for her to be a tiefling and NOT a cambion#she cant shapeshift to human#and yes he WILL become obsessed to find her back

#dnd#dungeons and dragons#character art#illustration#tiefling#bard#gnome#rogue#comic#I dunno that this is canon (at the very least I know felix wouldn't actually phrase that Like That lmao)#but I couldn't get it out of my head until I drew it#limerick's a belly dancer but he also seduces rich people (as his player has delicately put it)#felix fighting for his life trying to figure out how to say that he's not a potential client without sounding rude or judgemental#and also acutely aware that 'no I was just watching you' is usually received Really Badly by people jgdfhkjd#someone-- looking at this colorful loud flirty tiefling and this very quiet unassuming gnome: so...

Second run of fucking the Emperor as soon as I get the chance to do it
Little suggestion for my monsterfucker friends: kiss his tentacles when you get the chance to (probably only works for druids because I didn’t have that option as a ranger in my first run)
👌👌👌
#also fucked the drow twins with Halsin today#because Astarion asked me not to make him do it so I didn’t#I’m fully expecting Astarion to get mad or hurt though#I’ll probably have to break it off with Halsin#I’m sorry my guy I agree with your political stances wholly#and you’re a big ass hunk and I love big ass hunks#but just. Astarion. god I love him#I WISH THERE WAS AN OPTION TO BE KISSY FRIENDS#my ideal is romance with Astarion and fucking all the other characters#and I mean… I wanna romance spawn Astarion#it seems if he ascends he just becomes a complete asshole#and I just love him too much just the way he is#yk???#bg3#already planning my third run btw#byeeeeeee#I need to be a tiefling. fix the mistakes I made on emerald grove.#recruit all the characters#also do the fish men kingdom thing because I saw that was a thing but didn’t know where it is 🤔#(maybe I might play as a man in this playthrough???)#anyway. this game is fucking incredible
