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!

Hi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm taking advantage of this to ask for Barcus Wroot !!!! my best boi whom i love very much.

Love your art btw, i was thinking of asking for those flash comm soon !!!!! have a good evening/night !

Barcus Wroot!!!! I'm so fond of this little guy!! Take him to therapy please!

[gribbo]

In the hands of another minstrel, it would make a triumphant theme: Thorm trounced, his captives freed, his curse lifted from the land. Let another minstrel write it. The one who struggled up from the bowels of Moonrise Tower would rather find an unobtrusive corner in which to curl up and die.

"Somebody knocks you on the head every tenday," grumbles Barcus, as though it's a character flaw. His hand on the minstrel's jaw is rough and cool. "Follow my finger."

He seems to be holding up two. Peculiar. The minstrel does his best to watch them instead of falling over. "Did you see the"—he wobbles, peering over Barcus's shoulder—"aasimar?"

The Nightsong, tracking bits of Thorm across the hall, wings to Isobel in a blaze of moonfire. Barcus fails to notice. "You're more addled than I thought."

The minstrel could kiss him. If either of them deserved that.

He reports to the High Harper, who stops him midway and orders him to bed. Where bed has gone eludes him; Vally, he thinks, had shouldered his bedroll. Karlach, his pack. He looks for them in the hushed bustle of the hall: teary farewells here, his niece Nimble frowning at him there, the dead laid out yonder for the living to grieve. Harpers weeping for their fallen softly, businesslike. Victims of the cult, too, lying far from their families and friends—and Alfira where he expects her to be, hunched alone with her lute, feeling out the first fumbling chords of a threnody for them all.

It all makes sense, all of a sudden. He still has his gittern. When he drops onto the bench beside her, her hands stumble on the strings.

“Let’s sing for our supper, then,” he rasps without preamble, tuning up.

Alfira stares at him—huge, stunned eyes in a hollow face. “Really?”

Magga cammara, the minstrel thinks, she’s gotten thin. She’s not even famous yet.

“Go on,” he says gruffly. He fiddles for a moment in A minor before settling on something suitable. “I’ll back you.”

A slow, weary smile staggers across Alfira’s face.

It’s a grueling task, to sing in tribute for so many, for so long. Few would ask it of a singer so untried. But when Alfira’s voice lifts in lamentation like a rusty bell’s chime, heads turn; when he joins her in the second verse, the stentorian echo of her high mourner’s cry, the hush that follows is a grim gratification. They play long after their voices fail. He’s nodding over the gittern, his fingers plodding across the strings, when a warm, heavy hand envelops his shoulder. “Silk?”

“Karlach.” His voice scrapes like an old hinge. He blinks up at her, wondering why she’s so blurry. “There you are.”

“Here I am, sangster.” She turns from him, speaking gently to someone else. “Get some rest, Fira, hey?”

Whoever’s leaning on him rises with a willing mumble, leaving him cold. There’s a head on his knee, he realizes; he gives Mirkon’s curls a drowsy pat, then nudges him awake. Someone lifts the boy and carries him away. Around the hall, the torches burn like drowning stars.

Karlach’s hand keeps him steady. “Can you walk?”

He wobbles up. To his consternation, the hall tilts. Around him, the torchlights stretch and spin—

“Whoops,” Karlach says—and whisks him off his feet, bearing him who-knows-where. Hellion. He should object, probably. Keep his eyes open, certainly. Beneath his head, the machinery in her chest—that horrid death-clock, ticking—rattles a radiator-cough.

She smiles grimly at it. “Will you play one of those for me?”

A funeral dirge. His own tired heart beats off-tempo. “Oh, Karlach.”

“It was beautiful,” she says in her plain, awful way. “Will you?”

He’d sooner cut off his hands. Milil, he thinks, help me play happier music for these people. That triumphant theme. It’s in me, somewhere.

“Sangster?”

A voice speaks up somewhere past his eyelids. “Is he all right?”

“Asleep.” An infernal yawn. “Hells. I’m beat, too.”

Not quite asleep, he thinks. There’s a space between sleep and wakefulness, now, where the Prism-bearers’ minds mingle and meet. Gale’s drifting off thinking about a real bed, with sheets and blankets and such, so all of them are thinking about real beds. Them, the minstrel thinks muzzily, who are we, who are us.

Karlach’s thoughts, blunt and amused, brush his. You sound like that brain-thing.

Shadowheart, ever the eavesdropper, dips in. Are we going to keep it?

That headcheese? asks Vally.

Whatever will it eat, thinks Wyll, in our company?

Tsk’va. Lae’zel pretends to miss his joke. The creature is an abomination.

So are we, darling.

We! cries the intellect-devourer, somewhere else. It’s skittering after a rat, its simple joy rippling through their minds in alien hues. Whee!

Not a theme, the minstrel thinks, absently. Not a theme. He blinks up at Karlach with some effort. “Odd little medley, ours.”

Karlach blinks back at him.

Then she grins, brushfire-bright. “Catchy."

[kitthenameless]

I finished my weird NPC run!

I gotta be honest, I had fun doing this, but I was ready for it to be over after a while, so I focused on the main quests in Act 3. But they did also solve a murder, beat down Lorroakan, save Minsc, save Volo, and make Barcus the new Ironhand leader. They unfortunately did not save most of the Gondians, but they tried. Those two fights and the lead up the brain were a mess, but the rest went really well and were less of a mess than they usually are for me. (I know Balanced with five characters would be a cakewalk for many players, but I suck at this game lol, and I prefer roleplaying with spells, weapons, etc. over perfect builds.)

In the end, they defeated the brain and all met up again for the party. I let Jaheira, Halsin, and Minsc join the group and stay at the tavern, so they were at the party too. Zevlor and Tiefling Tav are now a happily engaged couple. Abdirak, Kar'niss, and Half-Drow Tav are a happy little throuple. My two tavs probably wouldn't have become friends in normal circumstances, but they went through a lot together and were there for each other. They couldn't save everyone, and some of them still have their own personal struggles, but a happy ending overall!

Also, if it's still working with Patch 7, I just wanted to recommend the "Recruit Any NPC" mod, if you wanna do something different to switch up your gameplay. It lets you clone characters so you can choose a class and level them up, but you still get their special abilities, attacks, etc., which was really cool. (I made Abdirak a cleric and had him use his unique Loviatar weapons for most of the game just for fun, even though they weren't the best. I made Kar'niss a ranger/druid for his hunting skills and web/poison, but he mostly used his own unique claw attacks anyway. I made Zevlor an Oath of Devotion paladin because I'm unclear on whether he's actually an oathbreaker, and necromantic stuff doesn't suit him.) Anyway, a lot of fun just for a silly, headcanon-y run!

BG3 for the fandom ask!!! - @zomboyfren

@zomboyfren, ty for the ask!!! This is going to be fun to answer, since anyone who doesn’t know the characters is gonna get to see some of these goofy ass names. There is genuinely a character named Wulbren Bongle, and he will appear later on this list.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Shadowheart <3. My little Sharty-poo. I even made her in Miitopia on the Switch.

I also think about Minsc and Jaheira a shit ton because I ship them so much and the ship makes me crazy. I’m so passionate about it AHAHAHA. I don’t understand why it’s such a rarepair. I also selfship with Minsc, so most of the time, I see it as a V poly with him in the middle.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Quentin (my main character), especially resist Dark Urge Quentin. He’s so adorable. He has the cutest smile and a little ponytail and a love where his bf truly believes in the goodness inside of him. Quentin, you will always be famous (and a canon character) to me. He’s my baby because I created him, and he’s shaped like a beautiful perfect boy.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

KETHERIC THORMMMMM. He’s so overlooked because Gortash and Orin are attractive to people, and Ketheric does not have the same PRETTY PRIVILEGE!!!!! But he was like originally planned to be a companion. That’s how good deep down redeemable villain he is!!! He genuinely loved his daughter and wife with all of his heart, and grief consumed him. If you bring up his wife and how he can still choose good instead of evil, he will sacrifice himself instead of fighting you.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

If you knock out Alfira as Dark Urge right before the night where you regularly kill her, she will be replaced by an adorable Dragonborn!

Her name is Quil Grootslang (Qu name like me!) and she’s a sweet bard who loves romance and throat-sings.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Born from incest, loves to kill people, Bhaalspawn. These are all traits of my beautiful angel Orin. Do I like her for the above traits and her personality, or do I like her because she’s hot? I’ll never tell 😉.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Doomed deep gnome yaoi, save me. Save me, doomed deep gnome yaoi. I don’t need to censor this in case someone likes Wulbren Bongle. I have never seen a human being who enjoys this character. Someone made a song hating on him.

A man (Barcus Wroot) who considers Wulbren Bongle a close best friend goes through a shit ton of effort to make sure that he ends up safe, insisting that I need to help him. I have to be the backbone of a prison break to save him. But everyone ends up safe and sound. I’m so relieved, and talking to all of the newly freed prisoners. Everyone else is fairly kind to me, even the more sarcastic characters seeming to be grateful. So I go up to Wulbren last, and he basically tells me to fuck off. He says he’s busy. No thank you, no reward. He could not have done it without me. I gave him the weapon needed to break through the wall, and there was no chance that he would find someone else to do it for him in that evil ass prison. But he tells me to get lost.

So I go and find Barcus, who’s ecstatic that Wulbren is free. Immediately asks me where he is, and starts searching the big room. When he finds him, he sprints over and starts talking about how excited he is to see him again. Wulbren’s response? Essentially telling him to fuck off, too. Barcus still ends up thanking me and giving me a quest reward.

I’ve heard that Wulbren Bongle gets even worse in Act 3, but I have a confession to make. Other than this one, I haven’t had a run where the deep gnomes survive this far LMAOOO. So I haven’t seen Act 3 Wulbren Bongle. I will update you on how much he sucks there once I get there.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Gale. Nothing against him, just feel like he belongs down there. (Up there? I’ve never seen Supernatural.)

[mcscouty]

4, 9, 15, and 25 for kore!

the oathbreaker boy... putting this under a read more because it's unwieldy...

4: If your Tav was a companion, where would they be found?

hmmm!! this is a tricky one... because if kore was a companion i'd like to think he'd still be at least a durge-ish companion... i think it would depend. i think he'd be like a random encounter. i'm thinking about the alfira encounter and thinking it might be like you long rest after meeting her and you have an opportunity to save her from kore killing her if you long rest within like a day or two of meeting her. and then you can choose to recruit/capture or kill him. but if you miss that random encounter you no longer encounter alfira and later find kore prisoner in the goblin camp where you can decide to help free him or leave him to his fate. i can picture it now... new journal entry! blood-soaked stranger. strange... this brutish half naked man seems to only remember his name and is covered in blood. you decided to let him join. why not! more's the merrier. hopefully you won't regret this...

9: Is your Tav from Baldur's Gate? Why are they traveling there?

this question is so funny because i was actually reading kore's backstory last night again. but yes! kore is originally from baldur's gate but doesn't remember his childhood there. he did live in neverwinter for a not negligible amount of time (about 12 to early 20s) and then did a bit of adventuring before settling in the icewind dale with his first husband... but all roads lead to baldur's gate... not that he remembers why he's traveling there...

15: What NPC's do they like? Which one's do they dislike?

i feel like in general kore doesn't really connect to a lot of NPCs. however some exceptions are... kore has a quick by noticeable attachment to alfira. he immediately likes her and genuinely did want to travel with her... too bad about that. she does also make him question his past and he's a little enamored with the thought of having a little sibling like her. he also really likes barcus wroot. he finds it admirable that even though it's obvious that barcus isn't an adventurer but he's still out on his own looking for wulbren. (though he does. also a little meanly like barcus. he thinks it's funny to scare him a bit.) he also finds rolan funny. he gently bullies him a bit early on and that does sort of turn into a genuine. hey. i'm looking out for you. can you chill the fuck out. orin and gortash i think are kore's most interesting dynamic. there's a lot of Layers there than just yea he hates them. also the emperor is like a fucking roller coaster ride for kore. his dream guardian is his dead husband but kore doesn't realize that at first so it leads to a huge blowup when kore realizes... but before that i think if not for lae'zel specifically the emperor could've led kore into something he would've regretted.

25: What arcana major best represents your Tav?

persona knowledge save me-- okay. i did a little bit of Looking Into meanings... i don't know much about tarot and their arcana but... i think either hierophant or justice? heirophant is an interesting idea since upright seems to have so much focus on Tradition and conformity vs the reverse being challenging that... which i think suits his storyline really well. justice is also potentially fun due to the consequences/truth/honesty vs karmic retribution/avoidance... like... could suit him rather well. but tbh i think i've already talked myself into heirophant LOL...

[avionvadion]

We've angered enough gods, lol. I think there's only... one that's on our side right now??? Anyways, MILD GALE and MASSIVE GONDIAN/IRONHAND GNOMES SPOILERS BELOW.

Welcome to the anxiety club!

PFFFT. Mood.

Astarion, you literally gave up the chance to be a Vampire Ascended. What are you talking about???

OH SHIT GORTASH. HEY. HI. SORRY I MISSED YOUR ORDINATION CEREMONY. MY BADS. HONESTLY HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS TAKING PLACE BECAUSE OF HOW SIDETRACKED AND DISTRACTED I GOT. HOW'S IT GOING??? WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE YOU HERE.

Alskjfldkjfldkjfldk, I was so tempted to go with number three. I love that it's even an option. You can see Astra contemplating the pros and cons of telling him to "f" off.

OMELUUM!??? BUDDY!??? YOU'RE HERE!??? WHY ARE YOU HERE!???

So many surprise encounters and I'm just trying to finish my massive list of sidequests.

Anyways, long story short I freed all but one of the hostages- that one was killed on his way running out by the enemies. Astra and Wyll were also... blown up, because Astra died and Wyll wouldn't have made it out. Omeluum got Karlach out just in time. Astarion was the first to reach the ladder.

All the baddies decided they were gonna gang up on my girl. T_T It was very rude of them. Poor Karlach had to do all the lockpicking. I had to keep reloading so she could roll natural twenties because she needed a 25. RIP. I probably could have restarted and sent Astarion that way instead, but, well, it's fine.

Everything's fine.

Poor Astarion. I find it absolutely hilarious that the game put him in charge since Astra was out of commission. Just, oh, what's that? Your wife died? Your turn to hold the braincell, then!

Imagine him getting up to the submarine and waiting for everyone to hurry up, and Karlach and Omeluum appearing- but Astra and Wyll are nowhere to be seen, and Karlach is like, "I tried to help her, but the bastards shot her back down! Before I could try to carry her and Wyll, squiddie over here teleported me."

Omeluum: "A thank you for saving your life would have sufficed..."

And the prison is already exploding so Astarion has no choice but to maneuver the submarine to safety.

WITHERS, PLEASE, MAN IS TRYING TO REVIVE HIS WIFE. BESIDES, HE'S MOST LIKELY GREY-ACE, ANYWAY. LEAVE HIM ALONE.

Astarion did not wake up this morning thinking he was going to have to revive Astra and Wyll.

I've.... never actually had to revive a character yet. I've always been able to "help" them back up, so Withers and the twenty Revivify Scrolls I have were just... chilling all seventy hours of my playthrough so far. Huh.

ONWARDS TO THE FACTORY.

BADA BOOM, BABY!!!!

Gods, I can't stand this asshole. Genuinely regret saving him.

YOU TELL HIM!!!! GO OFF, KINGS!!!

I am... so proud of Barcus right now, oh my gods. This is so satisfying. Finally he's breaking things off with that toxic genocidal asshat. I knew it was too much to expect an apology from Wulbren, but for Barcus to call him out on his bullshit and dump his sorry ass??? PERFECTION. I love this gnome so much. He does his best.

DON'T YOU FREAKING DARE LAY A HAND ON MY BOY BARCUS WROOT. I WILL FIREBALL AND MAGIC MISSILE YOUR FACE IN, WULBREN. KARLACH WILL CLEAVE HER AXE THROUGH YOUR SKULL.

HA!

BARCUS, MY BOY!!!!!!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[zoneofsmites]

Barcus Wroot: You saved me. Now you'll extort me. That's how this works, yes?

BARCUS MY BEST FRIEND BARCUS HELLO <3

Anyway no extortion here sweetheart, Lucien is a nice polite boy who likes helping people.

[busybee217]

Where is Barcus?

I save him and the rest of the deep gnomes in the grymforge but instead of telling him to rest at my camp (because I’m okay the dark urge and was afraid my character would kill him) I told him I wished him the best on his journey. Now I’m in act 2 and he isn’t in the last light inn or moonlight towers. So where is he? Where’s my boy?

[darkmatter-nebula]

Colli plays a online game with his friends

Greetings! Thank you for the request!

I apologize for not writing it earlier, my dear anon. My day was very eventful.

Bonus Points: I'm going to include Hunter. Since he isn't only Colli's beloved big brother, he also is the starboy's best friend.

Drabble: The Online Game

It was a quiet afternoon on the Boiling Isles as a certain small starboy with a heart as pure as freshly fallen snow and otherwordly fluffy lavender hair played the Demon Realm version of an online game with his friends.

Hunter, who was Colli's big brother and best friend, was playing too. Colli was sitting on the young Grimwalker's lap. Hunter's magenta eyes were filled to the brim with endless love and adoration for his beloved little brother.

Gus, Willow, Amity, Emira, Edric, Matt, Steve, Skara, Viney, Boscha, Jerbo and Barcus knew how much Colli and Hunter loved and adored each other. The kindhearted eternal little boy and the blonde boy were the most inseparable pair of brothers.

《You two are so incredible precious!》 Flapjack, who was sitting on Hunter's shoulder, chirped. "Awwww, thank you! You are precious too, Flap!" Colli had a very sweet smile on his adorable multi-colored face as he said that.

Colli, who bonded with Flapjack shortly after the Eclipse Lake incident, was able to understand every single word of his beloved big brother's Palisman. The red cardinal was incredible dear to him and vice versa.

Hunter couldn't hold himself back and kissed lovingly Colli's freckled cheek. The immortal celestial boy immediately snuggled up to the former Golden Guard. "I love you." "And I love you, Hunter. More than anything."

The End

BG3 Ask Meme: 3, 10, and 15 for Cassander?

3: Race and subclass? Tiefling Bard, College of Swords

10: Are they proficient in playing any instruments? Yes, he is proficient in the violin. (fun ooc fact I chose this because I thought the "devil playing the fiddle" trope was funny)

15: What NPC's do they like? Which one's do they dislike? ho boy. there are too many npcs in this game to list them all, but i can go for some of the more significant ones. He likes mol, she is pragmatic and can handle herself. He's grown to like Barcus. He respects Dame Aylin's no-nonsense approach and thinks Isobel's reactions to her girlfriends antics are just precious. He appreciates Rath for sticking to his principles during the grove problem. He respects Varsh Ko'kuu for going against the creche an keeping the egg alive. I guess the best answer is he likes people with a backbone who don't try to swindle him. His memory loss may factor into this, but he's grown to like people who can face pressure without faltering too easily. that said, he doesn't like Kagha (too easily manipulated), he hates Nere for his undeserved overinflated ego, and he thinks He Who Was is a prick. He hates being ordered around and being treated like an errand boy.

Further updates on Gar the Bard:

Whenever someone asks Gar a question that involves Forgotten Realms lore he doesn't know, my husband just yells, "I'm a Pokemon!" at the TV

Shadowheart is alllllllll over Gar. We're pretty early on and she's already admitted to being a Sharran AND wanting to be a Dark Justiciar.

My husband made the worst yucked out face when he saw how gnolls got made

Gar saved Barcus!!!!!! Yay!

My husband interrupted the troll and the bugbear fucking in the barn but then he felt bad and reloaded to leave them alone. "They aren't hurting anyone!" he says.

He met Raphael. He wasn't impressed.

He is unsure if Laezel came onto him when she said she might reward him with riches if he helps her quest, because he's a dragonborne.

Gale ate a locket. My husband almost fed him good gear until I intervened and told him to use a shitty locket instead of THE REALLY GOOD GLOVES HE BOUGHT WHAT THE HELL HONEY YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT

Still not a fan of Gale which is hilarious because my husband has a PhD and Gale talks like he has a PhD in magic. I think this is some "doctorate vs doctorate" violence happening here. It really has nothing to do with the losing magical items.

He let Astarion steal his blood. He originally found Astarion off-putting but he's warming up to him now he has a glimmer of what Astarion's whole deal is.

When he does talk to Astarion, he's calls him "worst boy" in a friendly tone

Wyll is "Best Boy"

He doesn't have a nickname for Gale. Ouch.

Karlach has been added to the party! He's known Karlach for 30 seconds and he's ready to die and/or kill for her.

Me watching my husband play BG3 and pointing at the TV to telling him which tiefling NPCs he will need to save because I like those NPCs and I used my "I will be an unhappy spouse if you don't do this" voice because I know he needs to experience Rolan's family whole story arc.

*pokes* weddings of the individual blight sibs >:3

*pokes back*

Amity:

•Amity was the first of the Blights to ask their partner to marry her. Or, we’ll, she sorta did: Luz and her both realized they were planning to propose at the same time, Amity said Luz could do it, then Amity blurted out the question first. But, of course, both girls went ‘Yes, of course!’

•The future Noceda-Blights had a Grom-themed wedding, complete with a recreation of their original Grom Dance (with a slight change in Luz and Amity kissing passionately at the end) and outfits close to those on their first Grom night under the tree. King, despite now being too big to live on the land anymore, still walked up to the shore to be the ring bearer. Raine officiated the wedding (Eda offered but both Amity and Luz said ‘No’), but Luz politely denied their request to play for the wedding alongside the B.A.T.T’s; traditional Dominican weddings ask the guests to sing instead of using a band, and Luz wants to keep some of those traditions as part of her own wedding. In that spirit, after their Grom recreation, Luz and Amity perform a Merengue, a Dominican ballroom dance, together after the wedding ceremony.

Emira:

•Em is actually the only one of the Blight siblings who didn’t ask their partners: Viney was the one who asked her, doing it with a human Ring Pop, half as a joke and half ‘Please Titan say yes!’ Which Em… wanted to. Sort of.

•Em was actually the most affected by her parents divorce. Already growing up not having a great perception of it, seeing the people who spent their lives raising her split up made her wary of ever getting married. Not that she didn’t love Viney, but it just… it worried her, the idea of how marriage would make things so much more complicated and, in Em’s experience, sad.

•Viney understood, even if she still wanted to marry Em one day. So instead, she promised to wait for Em, as long as it took, always being by her side regardless of what label they put on it. It actually made Em start to tear up, and she realized that if she ever did get married, there was no woman she’d rather be married to then Viney.

•Years later, when they did get married officially, the pair had a wedding at an old temple of a lost civilization, just because the two could, and it would better justify a smaller wedding. Few people wanting to risk an ancient curse defending on their bloodline. Viney wore her best tux with her least hole covered pair of dress pants, and Em wore an Illusion track blue mermaid wedding dress. One of Puddles babies, Muddy, served as ring bearer, while Barcus officiated the marriage. Jerbo was Viney’s best man, while both Amity and Ed were Em’s bridesmaids. After the ceremony, the two girls flew off on Muddy to another lost temple, ready for their honeymoon. But not before Em dropped the bouquet into the crowd, caught by none other then…

Edric:

•Ed is the last of the Blights to propose to their partner, Hunter. Not because he didn’t want to, of course, but because he would constantly get nervous, and feel what he had came up with to propose wasn’t good enough for the former Golden Guard. He always tried to one up his ideas, make them as big and bright as possible, because that’s what Hunter deserved. Ed would often carry the ring around in his back pocket, hoping to stumble upon the perfect time to propose, but sadly it never felt like he did.

•One night though, he felt he’d found the perfect way to propose; a fireworks show, with the explosions spelling out the question in massive lights. Edric knew it was a plan that could never fail, and so he custom made a firework to write ‘HUNTER, WILL UOU MARRY ME?’ into the sky. He sets the fireworks up, calls Hunter for a surprise date, and cuddles up to his favorite blonde boy as they stare into the night sky, Ed secretly waiting to release his fireworks setup.

•The time comes and Ed, with a smirk, sets off the fireworks. They begin to shoot into the sky, creating a mesmerizing light show, and Ed can’t help but take pride in his creation. Until he notices one, a big, BIG one, was fired at the wrong angle, and is now hurling itself towards Ed and Hunter at phenomenal speeds! Hunter has to roll him and his partner down the hill to escape the ensuing blast! Edric kicks himself, torn up about his failed proposal, until Hunter, looking out at burn marks on the hillside, makes out Edric’s question. He’s so blown away (pun intended) he laughs, and hugs Edric, telling him that he’d absolutely love to marry him. They kiss under the fireworks, their proposal forever burned into the hillside.

•Later, they have their outdoor wedding near a renovated and Odalia influence free Blight Manor. Hunter wears a robins red suit, while Edric wears a bright-yellow ball gown dress because he can and he likes it. Ed’s siblings serve as his bridesmaids while Gus and Luz are Hunter’s best people. The ceremony is officiated by Raine, who Hunter’s been in touch with since they defeated Belos, and the ring bearer is the special guest of Luz and Amity’s little girl, Azura.

•When the wedding is over, Hunter and Ed head off for a private honeymoon together on a livable boat off the mainland, enjoying the charming sights of the Boiling Seas and sleeping together in each other’s arms.
