Questions for Your Tav - Envy

Part 5! (Last one!) They/them pronouns for this one because Envy's feeling more femme in the above pic. Questions taken from this list of Questions for Your Tav!

Does your Tav have a treasured item with them? If yes, what is it and why is it special? If no, how do they feel about item sentimentality in general?

Yes, their lute. It was lucky Envy was going to a job when they were taken from the Baldur's Gate area, because then they had their sword and lute with them. The lute was one they had saved up for and purchased while still together with Astarion, before they were forcibly separated three years ago. Envy had bought the instrument used, but it's pretty, well-cared for, and has sentimental value because Astarion helped them pick it out.

Envy's a pretty sentimental person, as is expected from a bard. They have a few other treasured items at their rented room in Rivington. They fear that those items will have been thrown out by the time they get home, since they weren't around to pay the rent.

How does your Tav feel about giving and receiving orders?

Envy gives orders easily and comfortably. They don't mind being put in a position of leadership, and would actually rather do the talking and be the "face" of the party because they know they're a smooth talker. People take them seriously because they're confident and carry themself well. Envy is also really opinionated and stubborn, so they like making the decisions for the party (though they're willing to hear and consider input from the others).

As for receiving orders, Envy doesn't do that well. They have a general dislike and disrespect for anyone in authority. If they feel someone is looking down at them, they will talk back or do something stupid in retaliation. They would probably just do what they want anyway, unless they agree that the "order" is the best course of action. But then, Envy would insist that it was their idea and they were going to do it anyway.

How well does your Tav function under pressure?

Envy thrives under pressure. They find that a sense of danger or urgency makes a task more interesting or fun. In fact, Envy tends to procrastinate or get distracted if there isn't some level of urgency to a task, which is another reason they bounce from job to job in their life before the nautiloid. They get bored easily in slow or tedious situations, so they often need a deadline or some impending consequence to light a proverbial fire under their ass.

What advice would you give to your Tav?

I think I would advise Envy to see the people around them, and realize that family is not necessarily a traditional nuclear unit with a mother and a father and a bunch of kids. They are so focused on the family they lost when they were 6 that they repeatedly fail to realize that they can make a new family from the people they care about around them. Sometimes a family is your vampire boyfriend, a nerdy wizard, a demonish folk hero, a sweetie pie barbarian, a lost lamb cleric, an angry githyanki, a few druids, a dog, and an owlbear.

What are your Tav’s intentions/goals after the end of the game?

Envy wants to take advantage of their "Hero of Baldur's Gate" status to perform and gain a solid following as a well-known bard in the Baldur's Gate area and beyond. They'd like to eventually leave the city - maybe head to Waterdeep since they know Gale there. Envy thinks a change of scenery might be good for both them and Astarion, to leave behind all the bad memories and start fresh. They figure Astarion would like it if they both became crime-fighting vigilantes of a sort, to sate his bloodlust and give him a wider menu than boars, bears, and the occasional Envy-based snack.

Along those lines, Envy also wants to adventure with Astarion to find either a cure for vampirism or at least a way for him to walk in the sun again. Envy is a little doubtful such a cure exists - especially one that would not corrupt Astarion like the Ascension would have - but they'll do anything to make Astarion as happy as he can be. After all that Astarion has suffered and worked through, Envy wants to spoil him as much as possible, to show him the happiness life can provide.

"... Fine. If you want to see a monster so bad..."

"... I'll show you what a real monster looks like."

this was mostly me wanting to share the design for my Deltarune Monsterswap AU's monster Kris as they appear in the Dark World, but it also doubles as a little something else: a glimpse into one possible Weird Route. the Kris of this AU isn't bound to Player choice... and thus far less defenseless against their whims.

the question is: what does it take to make a good dog bite?

The most suspenseful thing about that episode was whether or not Elsbeth was going to get Kaya to go to the gala with her

out of the big 4 het/canon fairy tail pairings jerza is by Far the worst imo like. he needs to leave her alone i'm so serious and the fact that mashima wrote in a 7 year age gap for no reason is Not helping... erzas ass is NINETEEN the first time jellal makes an open pass at her i don't care that they used to be the same age it is fucking weird. gruvia is a close second though because while yes we objectify men here sir and i live to serve women juvia's creepiness is really just too much like at a certain point it starts to feel really gross and the fact that gray seems to fall for her by the end of the anime/manga just reeks of coercion. not even bringing up how genuinely awful juvia's character writing is she gets like 5 minutes of being interesting before getting instantly reduced to a creepy stan who completely revolves around gray and has less depth than the average bossfight of the week. i guess its equality that erza and mirajane are some of the best characters in this story (which is admittedly a low bar considering half of their personality is being subjected to the most voyeuristic shots possible) so mashima had to balance it out by making juvia one of the worst

Here's most of the clothing I thrifted over the weekend. I almost felt guilty for spending so much money (€80-€100) on a new wardrobe, but I guess most pieces are basics that'll last me a long time :)

Wait. If Howdy were to go ice-skating and he had to rent some skates........ does that mean he had to pay the exact amount for 2 people only for himself??? Or can he get an extra pair for free if he paid the first pair??

but anyway (unless they totally fuck them over in the second half), this show really nailed their version omar/ander dynamic, but with some new little spins on it, and it’s easily the best part of the show
