how do you write all these different ships with shadowheart? i thought you shipped her with asheera/tav?
I'm a multishipper, baybee. Always have been, always will be.
I do primarily ship Shadowheart with Tavs and Durges, and that's actually the majority of what I read/write. Asheera, obviously, being my personal favorite :)
Speaking of which, I consider Shadowheart/OC (or any companion/OC) shipping to be inherently multishipping. The overarching dynamic can be similar between OCs, especially if there's a trope being focused on, but the fine details are usually very different. How they speak to one another, for one, varies by each writer/OC*
One of the best parts of the fandom is that in each of our universes, we just want Shadowheart to find some happiness.
Also, angst. So much angst. Which I also adore.
* Rambling side note: They are all, by any reasonable definition, original characters laid on top of the Tav/Dark Urge chassis. That said, to us they are our canon characters that exist in our renditions of BG3. So it always feels kinda disingenuous to call them OCs, even though they 100% are. Dunno what I mean to say here other than I love your Tavs and Durges, whoever you are reading this.
