My durge is completely obsessed

[kirain]

So my best friend surprised me with a Cameo for my birthday. She got Tim Downie, Gale's actor, to send me the most passive-aggressive happy birthday I've ever received in my entire life. 🤣

Apparently she told him that Barcus Wroot is my favourite character in the game. 🤣

Thank you so much @cassafra5! I didn't even remotely expect something like this! 😭❤

Being able to draw is both a gift and a curse

My Mother Plays Baldur's Gate: Part 5

Summary: My retired mom is having me play Baldur's Gate 3 on her behalf because she has trouble using controllers/keyboards but still wants to "smooch the wizard boy." She is playing a neutral chaotic good wood elf druid; this is a detailed account of her crimes. Part 1 & 2 Part 3 Part 4

Sorry for the long break! Life got super busy for a second there. We're about 30-40% of the way through Act 3, and we finished up some companion quest lines and started making some plans to kill Gortash and Orin.

Here's what happened during yesterday's game session:

Scratch gave us an iron bowl at camp. My mom assumed this was somehow plot relevant, so she had me carry it around everywhere because "we might need it." I am not allowed to sell the bowl. She is a druid and her carrying capacity is still garbage. I suffer.

She LOVES Gale’s new kiss animations. I  tasked with smooching him before we leave camp every single time. Even if I just stop by to switch out a party member, I still have to kiss him goodbye. (And pet the animals, obviously.)

We accidentally blew up Volo outside the Steel Watch foundry with a poorly-placed Ice Storm that nicked the edge of the explosive barrels. His corpse was charred and unrecognizable, and my mom was distraught. She demanded to know why I blew him up, so I reminded her that casting Ice Storm was HER idea. We saved him the second time.

Cazador accidentally won his fight several times because we kept rolling dogshit initiative and got zapped by status effects before we could move an inch. The first time Astarion got turned to paste in the ritual, my mom nearly leapt out of her seat. (“RELOAD RIGHT NOW, HONEY.”) We killed Cazador on the fifth attempt, the rotten bastard.

My mom was locked in for the Iron Throne mission. The turn limit really freaked her out, and she kept second-guessing my choices every time I made a move because she was so nervous I was wasting time. I had to gently remind her that I’ve done this mission literally dozens of times. (We got everyone out with a whole turn to spare. Pfffft.)

Got the wavemother robe. I put it on Gale because I thought my mom would love it, but she was actually horrified because he “might catch a cold.” She robe is now somewhere in the camp stash next to all the spoons, iron tongs, and rags. It will probably never be found again. 

Saved the Gondians, and Mom now rides the “fuck Wulbren Bongle” hate train. Shout-out to my boy Barcus!

After watching the conclusion of The Pale Elf quest line (Astarion did NOT ascend, thank you), my mom quietly said, “I hope that actor knows how perfect he is as Astarion. What a wonderful man.” I had the pleasure of informing her that Neil Newbon won Best Performance at the Game Awards for his role. Congrats Neil Newbon, my mom is super proud of you!

Hoping to get together with my mom again soon and make some more progress through Act III. She told me to thank you for all your kind words of support!

Here is my heartfelt 'Barcus deserves more love' post💯💕! I mean...come on, what a loyal and devoted smol king he is❣️! F*ck Wulbren😡! I have an OC/Tav who would love to treat this little grump right😩! Also, his voice is so sweet🥰. I always pretend he's flirting with my Tav when he drops his "I bet you would" line.... because she definitely would🥴😏.

At first I drew him without a nose like my other chibis, but he was giving me such weird uncanny valley vibes🤷‍♀️🤪

Fuck Wulbren Bongle

No, because literally everyone approves if you call Wulbren a prick. Even Wyll approves. Wyll, who hates nearly every choice of unnecessary confrontation. He sees eye to eye with Astarion on this decision, too. Divided by pretty much everything, united in their hatred for Wulbren. That selfish little wannabe terrorist has truly brought the fanbase together in ways I don't think any of us expected. People sympathise with Gortash, Orin, Ketheric—hell, I've even seen people sympathise with Cazador when they learn about his backstory—but one thing we all agree on is that Wulbren needs to be flung into a lava pit. Fuck him. Oh, and this bitch.

Nuke them both from orbit.

wulbren bongle is my mortal enemy.

[nightlyrayne]

The more I replay BG3, the more I absolutely adore Barcus Wroot. I love him. I wanna hug him. Hold him and snuggle him. I wanna kiss his precious face and reassure him. And give him all the love he deserves

[solace-saphylos]

Concord is the best thing I've ever written (so far) and it is supported by the time honoured science/tradition of forgetting how I wrote it and rereading it again during the same emotional distress that I wrote it in and finding hurt/comfort that was tailor made for my bleeding heart.

If you've ever left a kind comment on the fic, you've literally added writings on the wall of my cave of comfort. I love you <3
