#Karlach: no. no. no I’m kinda into it

Hi. Listen to my fic idea;
The gang utterly fails to stop the Dead Three and Shadowheart, the ‘leader’ of the group (as there is no Tav) is the only one left alive at the end. Due to how this ending kinda ruins the world, as becoming Mind Flayers destroys the soul etc etc Shadowheart is thus sent back in time to fix this.
She is warned that changing too much before the events of BG3 will go badly (She can’t simply build her own army, for an example.) Some things are simply fated to occur, even if she doesn’t know what those fated moments are. (IE; Karlach will always end up in the Hells) She is given a few ‘pause’ buttons, which freezes everything besides what/who she wants— and it’s truly everything, even gods can’t see what is happening when she uses it.
Shadowheart arrives about 30 years before the events of BG3. She decides that the best way to change the events of BG3 is to be there again but she can’t simply wait. Instead she comes up with the idea that she’ll take her own place in that fated quest to steal the githyanki artifact. Being in the Sharran cult will also give her more information on the ongoings of the city and hopefully some influence to change some things.
As Shadowheart had abandoned Shar, mostly due to the influence of her (tragic) romance with Karlach, she is aware of how hard this plan will be.
First thing she does is build up a trail for herself to follow before she starts her worship of Shar. It isn’t uncommon that those beginning to fall into Shar’s darkness to be uncertain and she is no stranger to lying to herself so she manages to pass under the radar.
But to take her own place she had to be more than a simple follower. After a while of building some trust she starts to ‘follow’ the trail that she laid down that would allow her to become a Dark Justiciar. As she already knew how to survive the darkness around the temple, and how to complete the tests it wasn’t hard. This is still before everything with the Dead Three happens, so she only has the curse to deal with.
She carefully makes sure that she never stumbles upon any mention of Shar’s spear, and as Shar intended that to be her champion’s reward which Shadowheart isn’t, it goes unmentioned.
Her future plans rest on her killing Dame Aylin, who is of course pissed off. Shadowheart uses one of her precious pause buttons to speak with her. She is still a follower of Selûne, deep within her heart and knows that killing Aylin will essentially cause her to lose that forever, as Selûne will never forgive her. Aylin allows her to kill her (SH saying she could only do it if she agreed) after Shadowheart tells her that by doing so Isobel would be raised.
From there Shadowheart rejoins her old cult and over time finds a way to release her parents without implicating herself, then her younger self. This time period is extremely hard on her, as she has to participate in a lot of dark rituals and other things she doesn’t want to do. She uses her pause button only once, when she simply can’t handle torturing her parents when it was ended to ensure they escaped. She promises to find them after her mission is done, having the chance now that they weren’t chained yet.
She tries to change more things but most aren’t possible. IE; she manages to keep Karlach’s parents alive yet she ends up in the Hells anyway.
She eventually goes on the mission to get the artifact and the second they get Withers she pays him to ‘change’ her class. Not daring to face Selûne, she becomes a paladin instead. That way she has the same kind of built in moral compass yet doesn’t have to swear her faith in a god.
#baldur’s gate 3#shadowheart#idk have this#Isobel slaps Shadowheart over the Aylin thing#Karlach is flattered by the idea that Shadowheart has been pinning over her but is kinda confused#like#she’s hot but like maybe not ‘I have been pinning over you for 30 years’ kinda hot#Shadowheart: you are hot but actually the goodness of your heart made me change my entire life and my faith#Shadowheart: you changed my life in the short time I knew you.#shadowheart: kinda hoping me being way older than you and also knowing you before doesn’t weird you out.#Karlach: no. no. no I’m kinda into it

Halsin being the only person to actually listen to Durge and believe that something is wrong is both heartbreaking for the isolation from the rest of the group and comforting that at least one person cares from the start.
They have nothing of themself, but they have one person that will listen.
#Halsin’s not even in my current durge run#but I am constantly thinking about him because I’m so used to him#doing the same for Leokian (Tav) because wyll Karlach and Lae’zel are dead rip#I need to finish some runs#then actually play my durge now that I have a character concept for them#bg3#halsin#bg3 durge#I get it but also kinda hate most of their reactions#just in the context of#hey I’m struggling#not you’re not c:

howdy! why not a wyllach?
Nothing wrong with it , but I don’t see it.
In this house there’s only room for one Karlach and one Astarion wrapped in and around each other ❤️🔥
(Nah, but seriously, this entire tumblr was made JUST so I can express how much I ship Astarion and Karlach, so I’m the wrong person to have a reasonable conversation with about other ships for either of them. I know it’s not very diplomatic, but it is what it is, and I don’t make it a secret exactly cause I don’t want ppl to get frustrated expecting something else.)

no but like. why can’t i talk to wyll about anything. i can’t even ask him how and why he met mizora lmfao hello???? can i get a basic explanation of his backstory?????? you can ask astarion how he became a vampire and karlach how she ended up in the blood war and gale how he started pondering the orb
even if he just deflects like he did when i asked about his eye, bc im sure it won’t Actually be revealed until i try to get him out of the pact but it should still be an option???
#i’m trying to romance him and i literally have no way of doing so because i can’t actually talk to him anymore#exhausted my options very quickly#also speaking of romance. i kind of hate how it’s opt-out and also very difficult TO opt out#halsin said ‘thanks for saving me’ and i said ‘youre welcome’ and then he started flirting and both reply options felt like flirt lines#same problems with shadowheart and karlach earlier. approval means flirting ig#the inverse is kinda funny tho. astarion at the tiefling party going ‘i need to get laid but NOT by you EWWW ok bye’#but like. i don’t want to flirt and i don’t want to be rude. nice dichotomy idiot etc#baldur's gate#mine

sorry i have vampire the masquerade brain worms u can ignore this.
astarion is Obviously ventrue and as someone who grew up in a banite church i feel like xarrai should Also be ventrue but i feel like it would be insane to make them anything but toreador. but then i thought. maybe they are both ventrue trying to come off as toreador. absolutely the funniest shit on earth to imagine two different ventrue trying very hard to make everyone think they’re toreadors for two different reasons. LOL yep definitely here in the pursuit of beauty don’t mind me… :)
#anyway i want astarion to diablerize cazador :)#i mean that’s more or less what he does in the ascendant ending but i want it vtm style#also: gale is tremere karlach is brujah shadowheart is la sombra#lae’zel is… maybe also brujah?#halsin is gangrel….#honestly halsin is probably just not kindred but gangrel halsin is fun to think abt#i have to think about wyll actually#tho i’m tempted to say toreador for no reason other than they are my favorite and it does suit his romantic streak….#could also kinda see ventrue wyll?#i haven’t seen enough minthara to diagnose her with a clan LOL#withers is nos lmao#feel free to tell me if i’m wrong tgese are like all off the cuff and i’m a filthy vtmb fan to my core so like. my wider knowledge is a#little limited#OH HM MALKAVIAN XARRAI WOULD WORK…#one of those malks u look at and think “���but ur like fine?’ until they r Not#titus reed vibes if anyone listened to port saga (i haven’t listened to season 2 yet lol)

i like doing the orin duel last in yves’ playthrough bc it’s like theee climax of her story and also so she doesn’t get time to process her trauma bc I fight the brain right after hehe 🤭. but anyway throughout act 3 yves doesn’t just get her memories back as the bhaalspawn, she also gets the slow revelation of how she became one.
bc yves used to live in the lower city and she was one of the kelemvorite mortarch working in the graveyards before she got turned, id imagine current yves came across people she knew before, as well as visited the mortuary (where she spent the most time in) and found her old journal detailing her life - or lack of- after she got turned. yves managing to slowly piece together her past ; she was a kelemvorite cleric - at least that part of herself is true - but she tried to look into the ritualistic killings by the bhaalists and got killed bc of it. and then, to spite kelemvor, bhaal took that dead cleric’s flesh and face and moulded it with his to make his very own bride -> durge yves. she’s made for the sole purpose of worshipping him instead of her death god and killing for him. and when she’s killed enough in his name, he’ll consider that dowry sufficient and claim her, fully making her his.
anyway, yves’ revelation that she died and was remade against her will, and she’s essentially just wearing a dead girl’s face, and she defiled her own god and twisted his teachings in the worst way possible likeeeeee … the spiraling..!! and the meltdown …!!!! the NEED to claw at her own skin bc existing in it disgusts her. and now she’s seeing small fragments of the horrible things she has done for bhaal, and the killings she performed, and perhaps the worst thing was she remembered that she liked it. and the ecstasy that came through her whenever she did it. and when she tries to pray to kelemvor again now that she has her own mind back bhaal literally stops her heart from beating as a reminder that he holds her leash.
so when the time comes and she has decided that she’ll rid of all the bhaalspawns (and then herself), and when she’s duelling orin, I always make yves cast divine intervention to finish orin off bc it’s like her calling out to kelemvor and offering herself to him again. and when he answers her call and she denies bhaal, she’s finally granted the death she was denied of, and finally finally she can return back to her death god.
until withers is like lol no you’re not done yet
after the revival I think yves is like 🧍♀️ a bit shell shocked and lost. but she doesn’t have time to reevaluate herself when there is a nether brain to fight and she’s helping dismantle the very thing she crafted with gortash. and in the end she lets wyll go with karlach to avernus because she thinks he’s better off without someone like her, and after the little party they’ll have I imagine yves quietly leaves. she joins the other clerics who are helping clean up the aftermath. she doesn’t say that she was part of the group who helped saved the city, only claimed that they helped her in one point, and she doesn’t keep contact with anyone and generally tries to avoid them - out of her own shame and her own guilt.
she keeps the memories with her though - even the most disgusting and horrible ones, and with time she wrangles through them and learns to reconcile. she accepts this strange life of hers now, and she tries to help and do good just so when she finally finally reunites with the god of death again, the scales are at least tipped to her favor.
#now I just imagine how awkward it’ll be when she goes to the epilogue party#bc she kinda disappeared from the face of the earth lol 😳 she’s like 🧍♀️ ough hi guys …..#and withers is like girl I revived you to live ur life not spend it in penance#anyway I like the idea of her finding it hard to look at wyll esp after the whole revelation#he is just so radiant. and she is the scum on the side walk. why would the stars look down on such as me etc#but now I’m imagining their reunion 😭😭😭😭😭 bc I think she gives him back the acorn when she tells him to go with karlach#just kind of slipping it in his hand and pushing him to go with her that kind of vibe#now they’re reunited imagine if he has the acorn with him ooouuuughhhh and he wants to give it to her again if she wants it …..#what if I just Kms.#man.#shut up about bg3.#bg3

Okay I’m down for this too but when I read the first line and the rest of the post hadn’t loaded yet, I thought you were going to say that you wanted difficulty sliders *for how difficult it will be to romance your LI*, which I am also down for.
Petition for every game with romance options to have 'Romance Difficulty' option. (I know I can watch videos but I want to *experience* it with my OC.
• You start at level 10
• Enemies are super easy
• All side quests where your LI has no interaction are already done
• Play through the rest of the game as is with your LI as a constant companion
... Yeah
#prev tags#i'm mostly kidding btw#but also kinda not#i want it all#gale of waterdeep#SHADOWHEART#karlach my beloved#one day I will successfully save Karlach but I’m 1000 hours in and that day hasn’t come

Parts 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / X
This page kinda tacked on to the set but I when I was writing the bit with Karlach, I got thinking “oh this could run into why he lead the party back to the goblin camp after just scoping it out and leaving,” aaannd also wanting to get more hints at Aldiirn lore in there.
I’ve gone back and forth about the origins of Aldiirn’s scar and I’m not sure if it really makes sense for what it’s from now (hints in part 3) but alsoooo I never could make sense of it in-game either it wraps around the face in such a weird way.
I’ll leave what the gel is open to guessing~

Hi!! I’m new so I’m not sure if there’s a character limit but could I get the baldurs gate 3 characters with a plus size gn reader?
(If there is a limit could I get Wyll, Karlach, and/or Astarion?)
Thank you!!
I added gale because i want that wizard SO BAD this is a super cute request just keep in mind that i haven't played a whole lot of baldur's gate- also there is no character limit but i think id cap it at like 7 for hcs. Maybe slight possible spoilers. Yall are so lucky i almost included karniss for funsies but held back my spider simping
Cw : might have slightly suggestive bits but is sfw, gn reader, no pronouns, fluffy, mentions of past body shaming,
Wyll
He's so sweet- a real gentleman at heart
He loves to rest his head on your shoulder and wrap his arms rough your waist
After the horns tho it makes it a bit harder so he settles for holding you and resting his head on your chest
Kinda obsessed with your hands, always kisses the back of your hands or the inside of your wrist
Hes prone to stress, so when he’s feeling particularly stressed he gets kinda clingy- he will (wyll haha) never admit that he's being clingy tho
He hugs you, a deep sigh leaving his lips as he squeezes your sides and relaxes with exhale.
Your soft and comforting and after all the things he's been through he is in desperate need of some comfort
I think wyll enjoys being seen as more knightly, your knight in shining armor
That being said this man can and will defend your honor, people can be so cruel and he won't stand for it, he is absolutely going to defend you when people are talking shit because he will have none of it
Wyll is a sweet man, he wants you to be comfortable and happy with him, so he does his best to reassure you about how he loves every bit of you and tries to ease your insecurities
Karlach
Hrmmmmgghghggdgg love her,,,love her so much hehehehe
She loves cuddles so much and is so touch starved fight me on this
She sees you and gets a sappy smile because she is just so mushy
I think out of all the companions she is definitely one of the top chubby person lovers
Handsy, she loves to hold and squish every part of you, the way your chubby arms wrap around her waist and torso while she rubs your back is heaven actually
I think she would love tummy kisses, she loves them even more if you get flustered because you are cute<3 she really adores how soft you are
She likes picking you up and she absolutely can and will at every opportunity that presents itself
She is throwing hands if someone body shames you
Like she gets the most aghast expression of “how dare they”
Normally people just turn tail and run but she is so down to throw hands
Being insecure with karlach is very hard because she has no issue telling you how much she loves you, and she is very honest, her words really show threw her actions
Astarion
I feel like astarion is someone who understands insecurity on a deep level, there are many aspects of himself that make him insecure
You have been so warm to him, you love him so genuinely he wants to return the favor by also loving you so genuinely, size doesn't matter to this man
Ignore that last part he loves feeding on you, so much to sink his teeth into ;) like eating something warm and comforting
“Gorgeous as always” is a regular statement he makes whenever seeing you
Loves to hold you before bed because he can just relax and feel himself melt into you.
Astarion is very fond of squishing your cheeks, if hes happy or mad at you your cheeks are getting squashed because this vampire has a bit of cuteness aggression
King of talk shit get bit because he is kinda just looking for a reason to have a little murder as a treat
Like he hears someone body shame you and is like “can i pleaseeeeee stab them?just a little”
He will find them
He won't tolerate people adding to your self doubt because he thinks you are genuinely just the most beautiful creature and he WON >:3
Gale
I WANT THIS WIZARD SO BAD
I'm so incredibly down bad for gale he's such a dork i love him
He's awkward honestly, he'd like to be all suave but when it comes to physical affection he is quite awkward.
Eventually he finds peace in just being able to hold you close, he particularly enjoys being able to hold you against his chest while he reads to you
I think he would enjoy teaching you about magic (assuming you aren't also a wizard) and if you are a wizard he still enjoys reading you books about magic
He's a sucker for just being sweet and domestic with you
Big fan of your thighs and if you are sitting in his vicinity his hand is always resting on your thigh occasionally giving it a gentle squeeze to calm you both down
Big fan of shoulder kisses when you both first wake up
I love sassy kinda mean gale when he talks to rude people so i love the idea of him just verbally destroying someone who talks sit about you
Hes actually pretty good about ginning you reassurance for your insecurities
He doesn't have the best way with words sometimes but he is just so flabbergasted at your thoughts because he personally wants to fuse souls lmao
