#I have a tadpole in my brain

Sleeping with Astarion on a Gale romance run, just to keep myself entertained because the man keeps running away when I flirt with him. 😂
Me: *imagines kissing Gale*
Gale: “Haha unexpected but welcome, yes very welcome….yes…”
Gale: *flees*
Me: 🧐
Anyway I figure if I hit up the drow early in act two, Astarion and I can decide to be friends and that way I get my RP quota out of act one and nobody gets hurt.
#listen I like the rizzard#but if you tell a guy you want to kiss him and he starts philosophizing about the little things that make us human#I think you should get to sleep with the damaged vampire as well#as a treat#I have a tadpole in my brain#I’m not waiting around for a MAN#bg3#bg3 astarion#bg3 gale#gale of waterdeep#gale dekarios#astarion#Miriam plays bg3

something about how wyll calls his romanced partner his “shining star,” and how i didnt know that at all, and the first time i romanced wyll HAPPENED to be in my first origin astarion campaign. something about him saying “to think i almost missed the light” to astarion, who at that point in time would still be in the process of manipulating him for protection/realize that hes a fool whose fallen for the literal fairytale prince a younger him once fantasized about marrying. something about astarion taking every opportunity he can to remark on how handsome and sweet wyll is, despite apparently despising heroes— and wyll doing the exact same thing, despite being a literal monster hunter. something about wyll having special unique lines for origin romances in his act 3 romance scene. how even if you dont romance him, if youre playing astarion and approach him at the epilogue party he is absolutely Delighted to see you and remarks on how much he missed you (and your hair, lmao). just something about two characters who have had their autonomy stripped away from them for years finding love and safety in each other. i dont think i can ever be normal about these two.
#the amount of parallels between them drives me nuts#mizora/cazador and their treatment of wyll/astarion respectively. ooh my god.#the essays i could write on that topic alone#i have a tadpole buried deep in my brain that is actively feasting upon my neurons and its THEM#these two fools and their constant snark flirting every time theyre in my party together#bg3#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate iii#wyllstarion#bloodpact#wyll#astarion#wyll ravengard#astarion ancunin#bg3 wyll#bg3 astarion

#✎ ੈ˳ the tadpole that ate my brain — ooc.#it contains what is potentially a slur so i'm not going to post it#but i feel stupid because i have no idea what it means and have no context for why i received it#unless it's because i liked posts with genuinely sensible reactions to a situation we're all too grown for atp#any w a y s#if you sent it to me and would like to explain#please do#and if you don't i'll know how much of a piece of shit you are#tw: negativity

#palpitoad#this is SLIGHTLY more respectable than tympole? significantly. more respectable. but i still do not respect him very much#only a little#everyone's asking me why i'm being so mean on the tympole tags but all you have to do is LOOK AT IT#AND THAT'LL TELL YOU WHY LOOK AT ITS FACE. ITS EYES. ITS EYEBROWS???? THE MOUTH. GROSS#and the “stop this shit at ONCE!!!!!” is a jerma reference. ok#i don't remember why i was THAT mean considering i wrote those tags on the sixteenth and i'm updating these now today but#i mean i still think it's JUSTIFIED LOOK AT IT!!!! IT'S SO UGLY#SEE TUMBLR USER MEOWSTIX AGREES WITH ME. GREAT URL BY THE WAY YOU ALL ARE JUST HATERS OF ME BEING A HATER#“you guys are bullying a literal tadpole” ok but do you know what tadpoles do? they turn people into mindflayers. case closed#tympole would absolutely be the type to try to turn me into a mindflayer are you kidding me? he wants to go inside my brain#and turn me into a palpitoad. this is tympole's dream. do we want to let them take over the world like this? instate the Grand Design? no

[☺ Skaro - The Shield of Shra'kt'alor☺]

1. [CHARACTER INFO]
OC NAME: Skaro
OC PRONOUS: He/Him
AUTHOR: Rook
2. [DIALOGUE]
1. Greeting message:
Do you have need of me?
2. Identify yourself:
I am Skaro of Shra'kt'lor, though I haven't called that place home in a long time.
3. Tell me about your Creche:
No creche, a monastery in the midst of Chaos. One of many. There isn't much to say. There we were trained, and there I learned to harness my psionic energy to better defend my mind and body, though I left to pursue a different path once that training was complete.
4. I need to know how you fight::
You may be expecting a monk, but the blade says otherwise. A fighter, then. But don't get too comfortable -- how many wizards do you know that can also swing a sword? I am a Zerth. I may prefer a blade to fists, but there is more to my fighting than meets the eye.
5. Can I ask a more personal question?
Not at the moment. I'm here on business.
3. [GRAPHICS]
4. [BONUS RESOURCES]


Skaro started life as Xa'rok's Dream Guardian, so you'll often see him in the Guardian's armor, but I got too attached to him, so he gets to exist on his own now, too.

In the AU in which he exists alongside Xa'rok as himself and not just the visage of a prisoner the Emperor once met, Skaro was born in Shra'kt'lor and became both a philosophical student of Zerthimon's and a practitioner of arcane-focused fighting, earning himself the honorary and hereditary title of Zerth. He has been around for quite some time -- age undefined but his physical body is somewhere in his 50s -- and in that time grown tired of the us against them mentality that keeps the gith people splintered instead of whole. He left Shra'kt'lor to follow this desire for unification, interplanar-traveled often, and found himself invited to and then a part of the sha'sal khou. He has been working with the organization for years and after meeting Xa'rok in his travels, brought them along into the fold. In this universe, he and Xa'rok are partnered and they continue Xa'rok's work alongside their work for the Sha'sal Khou, as some of their interests align.

#githmap#githmapoc#githzerai#githzerai oc#my tavs#tav: skaro#didn't fill out all the questions because Skaro would be cagier about it and also because I still haven't figured all his lore out yet#Guardian Skaro's original visage (prisoner of Moonrise during the Emperor's imprisonment/tadpoling) eventually became that brain down in th#colony. so that's a whole different person with incompatible lore. I'm trying to untangle and marry the two to find a balance as I run him#fun facts: he has a twin brother who IS a monk#and I'm debating making kresh the brain sacrifice in this AU canon instead. just to give Skaro a somewhat personal stake in the story#beyond Xa'rok#Not relevant to githmap as he doesn't explain any of this but I figure I may as well ramble while I have the floor#I love him very much ;___;#I am not sold on the moniker which is why he doesn't personally use it#but I wanted something catchy with a throwback to the guardian so. shield it is. his fighting style IS defensive anyway.#also I put him in a more lore compliant outfit for the occasion#though I'm tempted to also crop and png the guardian outfit shots too. I took them just in case.#also I considered having him from zerth'ad'lun but shra'kt'lor gave me an easy catchy title. though he could have trained with the cenobite#in zerth'ad'lun. He's been all over. I know he spent time in Karokrath and he eventually ends up in Tu'narath

… i’m playing BG3 with a polyamory mod on so i have no idea what romance scene is gonna trigger every time i long rest, it seems like everyone wants some now that we’re in act 2
anyway this time was Lae’zel’s next romance scene where she said she loves me so much she wants to kick my ass.
look, my paladin is no slouch, but she downed me in one round of combat.
that’s the worst i’ve ever done it
i may have OP’d Lae’zel a smidge.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#lae'zel#bg3 lae'zel#look she’s my beloved heavy hitter#anyway uh#she got four attacks on me#a trip attack that didn’t knock me prone#but she does have Luck of the Far Realms so she made it a crit#second trip attack#action surge#third trip attack finally got me down#and was near max damage#misty steps next to me for a melee hit#i get one hit on her#but second attack missed#meaning she got a Riposte in#i follow with a Shield Blow#and she makes the saving throw for it#… and she has the circlet with Psionic Revenge which gave me just enough psychic damage to down me#i should not have given her all those tadpoles to fix her brain#but i felt bad that i didn’t get her out of the zaith’isk

first time shovel has ever succeeded using scare and it's against the red dragon lmao
#personal#ash plays bg3#there's an achievement for killing the dragon that i didnt get first time so. giving it a go#considering astarion did 136 damage in one hit and it has 400 health i think i can do it lmao#i was thinking i might use pwk on it because it would feel cheesy to use it on the brain but i dont think ill have to#maybe i wont end up using pwk. we'll see how the brain goes i guess#it might be hard to get astarion in there because he's the only one in my party that cant fly#that's something ive been meaning to bring up actually. at first i agreed with every companion who said they didnt want the astral tadpole#but later changed my mind and convinced all of them. but astarion was the ONE where the option actually goes away after he first refuses#considering he's probably my most effective fighter here that's a little frustrating lmao but hey i guess he makes up for it#by doing 1/3 of the dragon's health in one hit?????#tbf that was a crit and a sneak attack. the next hit did 61 damage. but still#DUDE HE JUST DID AN ATTACK AS A REACTION AND IT DID ANOTHER 80 DMG IT'S ONLY GOT 15 HP LEFT YOOO#i bet an npc is gonna take it out rip

i finally tried out the "lose to orin" path line and i was excited to see if gortash has any unique dialogue about it (considering he has unique dialogue for becoming bhaal's chosen again & for resisting bhaal) but apparently durge can't even tell gortash that she lost to orin 😂 which i mean i guess it kinda makes sense because you probably wouldn't want him to know that if you're trying to ally with him but you'd think you'd still have the option to click it even if he just reacts by attacking you 🤣
#there's a TON of unique dialogue with sceleritas though#only a little with the other companions (except minthara for some reason who just said what she usually says after orin dies)#my durge asked sceleritas what she would have to do to get bhaal's favor again#and he said all she's good for now is making lots and lots of babies so there can be more bhaalspawn in the world 😂#speaking of... that'd be kinda a funny thing to tell gortash... “hey my dad says i have to breed now. you game?” 🤣#it is also implied though that if i can take over the netherbrain then i may be forgiven?#sceleritas said if i destroy it then the urge will get way stronger and speed up the inevitable path to insanity#which is kinda weird because it implies the tadpole is suppressing the urge in the first place? maybe it is?#also he said i wouldn't be forgiven even if i took the brain over because i'm not fit to rule#but the journal dialogue for the quest implies that i might be forgiven? so idk which it really is#i do kinda wanna see what would happen if a durge that lost to orin takes over the netherbrain#but not right now because i am disappointed that i didn't get any new gortash dialogue#and i already closed the game lol
