This got long. I’m sorry? Enjoy?

6. How would the player go about meeting them in Act 1? What is their introduction?

In the woodlands approaching the goblin camp, the party stops. If they pass a perception check, they realise a raven in a nearby tree is watching them. Rhodeia will shift back into her humanoid form to greet the party. If they fail the check, Rhodeia will follow the party for a while. The party gets a second perception check to realise it’s the same bird, but whether they pass or fail, she’ll reveal herself (with differing dialogue on the party’s observational skills).

Rhodeia has been searching for a way to eliminate the goblin camp, and will join the party if they likewise plan to take out the goblins. If questioned, she will reveal she isn’t a member of the Emerald Grove and is frustrated with how they’re handling the situation. The tieflings need help and the goblins are actively hurting the local environment, so it’s a no-brainer to stop the horde. If the player asks why she doesn’t seem to be actively searching for a cure, she states she’d rather use her last days to make a difference, and is surprised (and secretly sceptical) to learn of a potential cure.

Rhodeia can lead the party to the log crossing to sneak into the goblin camp from the south and talk to rats inside the temple to get more information on layout and defences.

7. Describe their arc. How would a player help resolve it? What choices can be made? Can your Tav be turned down a dark path, or pulled to a lighter one?

Rhodeia’s deepest fear is losing herself. Which is ironic because she wild shapes as a coping mechanism when she’s deeply stressed to get out of her own head (and obvs the tadpole situation is very frightening for her). So her arc would revolve around coping mechanisms and the inevitability of change. Once the party reaches Act 3, the player would observe a pretty sudden change in her demeanour from “mild-mannered and compassionate” to “brusque and focused only on the party’s to-kill to-do list”.

Inside the city, a series of smaller scenes trigger where the player can encourage her in one direction or another, or suggest some method of coping with the present situation: On the Elfsong rooftop Rhodeia is pacing, desperately trying to pray to Mielikki (who she hasn’t heard since she was infected). She’s never been in a city before and is in sensory overload from how overwhelming it is. She’ll talk to the player about how she’s far away from her goddess and her entire frame of reference, and ponder whether to use a sending spell to carry a message to her mentor Elenweyre or wait until after the brain is defeated.

If Shadowheart’s parents die, Rhodeia has a scene where she feels guilty for not intervening. She will also talk about the deaths of her own parents and how she returned to her family home only to find it beyond recognition. The player can try to reassure her Shadowheart made the right choice or perhaps the least bad choice out of all available options (but in the case of Shads murderknifing her parents for Shar, Rhodeia simply will not accept that was an appropriate outcome and is hostile to Shadowheart for the rest of the game).

During Astarion’s quest, Rhodeia will advocate for freeing the spawn. But if the player does free them, she’s later troubled by the decision—past the horror and adrenaline of the moment, she now views it as the wrong choice because they’ll devastate the Underdark. As a druid, she cannot accept that level of damage to life. At this point, she is deeply conflicted over the decisions the party has been making and feels she can’t think clearly in the moment when these choices arise.

In Bloomridge Park, she’ll talk about how there’s more green in the city than she expected and the life she’s seen, like the pigeons and peacocks (but is clearly giving herself a pep talk). She’ll also discuss Mielikkan doctrine that nature and civilisation can coexist, but admits this is overwhelming for her and she isn’t handling this particularly well, but it’s getting harder to imagine going back to her circle because she’s afraid she’s too different now.

Rhodeia can’t be pulled down a good/evil path because the player doesn’t have that much influence on her core values, but there would be several outcomes for her quest, mostly revolving around whether she finds a way to cope with the current situation. She can:

Accept that change is inevitable in the sense of “What if you return home and you’re different, but you’re still just you?”

Accept that she’s changed and embrace who she is now

Resist the notion of change and instead focus on the core elements of her identity

Focus on resolving the disaster at hand and leave the soul-searching for later

Ideally I’d use a points system with a funky name like Shadowheart’s Nightsong/WolfDream Points so it isn’t a 1:1 “player tells her how to think” scenario. Low approval? She’ll do the opposite of what you tell her because she doesn’t trust or like you.

9. What’s the significance behind your Tav’s name?

Rhodeia means rose (at least if you trust the baby name website I found it on lol) and I had it picked out long before I got my mitts on BG3. The nature theme is obvious, but it also influenced her colour palette (pinks and purples). Her surname, Whitebloom, is a reference to the pale vines tattooed on her face and body.

21. Describe a defining moment from their past, which makes them who they are today!

WIP Wednesday!

I do apologize for my inactivity, it was my birthday last week so I have been spending a lot of time with my family and friends! Most of the time I've spent drawing these last couple of weeks have been for commissions or I have been working on getting my portfolio re organized, lol.

I've been obsessing over Loid again so I'm drawing my second fanart of him,,, I feel like I captured his face a lot better this time. DE why can't I comfort him??? Lemme give him a little hug or pat on the shoulder plz.

lil sneak peak at a character concept commission for my best friend, devi. He is half alien/half human and a mech fighter. He has a rogue AI living in his brain. Super cool concept overall and I'm so happy to help her bring him to life <3

Asks for procrastinating writers

[cringefailvox]

🍄, ⚠️ mayhaps

🍄 describe your wip in the format of "___ + ___ = ___"

alastor's long and irritating history of outsiders devaluing his close relationships bc they're not romantic + his exfriend/now-rival and dearest best friend hanging out / flirting (???) without him = LEAPING to incorrect conclusions at terminal speeds

⚠️ which wip you're most likely to finish/update next?

likely my alastor/rosie/vox qpr sequel!! my radiostatic one is uh. going to be Very Long And Complicated so i'm taking it wayy slower

16. Who stays up way too late and who tries to drag them to bed?

shtola is def the one who stays up late between them, cori is a life-long early riser even after nights where they struggle to sleep so they tend to sleep earlier too. but i don't think they try to drag shtola to bed that often, they are already asleep and will adjust (cuddle with her) when shtola realizes its time for her to go to bed too 😌 if shtola's not really working then cori might suggest shtola read in bed next to them instead of in her study/the library!

[thebreakfastgenie]

For the WIP asks: 🐬 ⚠️ 🖍️ 🤔

And some extra kudos ❤️

Thank you! ❤️

🦈Tell us the name of your/ one of your WIP(s)

Hmmm I guess sharing the title couldn't hurt... the time loop WIP is called Ad Nauseam. I haven't decided about capitalization yet; sometimes I do the AO3 all lowercase style if I think it looks better that way but I'm a traditional gal who prefers title case.

⚠️Which wip your most likely to finish or update next?

Time loop WIP, god willing.

🖍Post Any sentence from your wip

Charles smiles pompously, then, looking as dignified as a person can in a pilling, pin-striped bathrobe, he heads toward the coffee. 

🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

I had an idea recently for a sort of follow-up to The Joker Is Wild about the effect it had on Hawkeye and I recently figured out how I would do it and got kind of excited but I haven't started it.

⌨ - time-wasting habits

andie has very little time to waste, but when she does have that time she spends a lot of it knitting or crocheting or sewing/embroidering. crafts with her hands are some of her favorites. she'll also make (mostly wonky looking) clay trinkets or try her hand at painting! there's lots of art projects of hers scattered around her home or given as gifts to the people she loves. nearly every year people are receiving scarves and mittens or hats or sweaters or decked out jackets from her as gifts when the weather gets colder. she also enjoys reading on occasion and very much playing sports, though she considers sports less of a "time wasting" activity because to her those are more things to be done while chilling around the house or taking the subway or other such in-between tasks. that being said she loves basketball, baseball, & rock climbing most of all.

DAGGER!! <3

Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

mass of the fermenting dregs!! I was super into japanese shoegaze last year, but I would listen to random playlists. but this artist specifically jumped out at me, so I deepdived into their discography <3

[cavaliersecondary]

4, 28 and 31 for the halloween asks if you're still doing them <]:)

4. favorite spooky movie?

oooo hmm. probably scream 1996 <3 also not sure if this qualifies as a ‘spooky’ movies but whatever, but the 2000s live action scooby doo movies <333 they are sillyspooky to me and i love them <33

28. do you believe in ghosts?

yes! but maybe not really in the traditional/stereotypical sense? my understanding of ghosts is either a spirit thats there own their own, or maybe a fragment that got stuck and is reliving moments in time not of their own will

31. do you enjoy haunted houses?

i do!! ough i havent been to one in so long, i want to do one this halloween season hopefully

💌 💐🧸 for agda please (i'm thihking of her and galfrey...)

Oh you came in hot here, bestie! :D

💌: How would they plan a romantic evening for a significant other?

I had to think about this for a hot minute, but I imagine that since Agda has wings she'd pack a fancy picnic basket and take Galfrey to the highest peak of Drezen, somewhere impossible to reach otherwise, during a citywide festival. They'd drink wine and watch the revelry while the moon hung large above them. :3

💐: What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?

Cheesy and shameless. It can be off-putting if one isn't into that but Galfrey's blushing and blustering puts wind in Agda's sails and a dumb grin on her face. Example from in-game 😂:

🧸 : Into public displays of affection or are they more reserved?

Agda loves all manner of affection but goes by what her partner is comfortable with. 💚

[OC asks | Agda/Galfrey art you should reblog if you haven't and are so inclined.]

28, 31 and/or 55 for corishtola? 💖

thank you ash!! 💗

28. What are there thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately jkasdf i think both of them use pet names and like to be called by them! for shtola probably more so when its just the two of them. shtola will call cori "love/my love" and i haven't decided yet what i think cori would call her 😭

31. Can they sit side by side without touching the other or are they handsy? (lacing fingers, touching knees, etc.)

if they're in public or at like. a very important scions meeting. then they can probably sit side by side without touching. maybe a few reassuring hand squeezes or touching knees if they need it but for the most part they're okay. but if they're just hanging out at cori's apt or the rising stones or something then i think they're a lot more handsy. just a lot of little contact! holding hands, absentmindedly tracing patterns on the others back, tangling their feet together under the table. things like that 🥺

55. Do they like watching clouds or star gazing?

i think cori likes to watch the clouds and star gaze and shtola likes to sit and relax with them while they do it, and listen to cori describe what constellations are showing or what shapes the clouds make, what the sky looks like.
