#but i will slowly ramp up my bg3 posting so WATCH OUT

[queenbol-of-baldurs-gate]

So I've ended up avoiding Tumblr purely so I don't get spoiled by anything but of course I'm thinking of my Tavs- specifically what they deep down, at their core, want. Or don't want. Like the kind of things they would only admit if they were super vulnerable, not in their right mind or at their most desperate. Let me know in the tags about your own Tavs!! I love finding out more about them.

Delight, despite her big push to survive on her own, to be independent and be successful no matter what anyone says about her: at her core, she doesn't want to be alone. She grew up watching her parents be devoted to one another, her best and first friend in the whole world chose her father over her, and to be a tiefling in a world that alienates her on principle she too wants to have that connection- to have someone that will choose her everytime. You would have to waterboard that woman before she admitted it though.

Briallen made me the saddest however, because for all her self-sacrificing survivor's guilt mess, her desire to be forgiven and to feel like she deserves to be forgiven she just wants to go home. She's just barely past twenty, she left (ran away from) her home at fifteen. She's become a local folk hero, she's faced danger and saved dozens of lives and now she's fighting against time against such an insurmountable power. But deep, deep down she just wants to go home. And of course, she feels like she doesn't deserve to.

And Iker, man...getting anything personal out of him would be like pulling chicken's teeth he's so closed off. But ultimately, despite all his walls and his acerbic behaviour towards others he actually doesn't want to be like that anymore. They were a different person once. They smiled and joked and had ideals to live up to. After he lost it all they changed for the worse and they don't know how to go back to those brighter days. So he'll just keep going because what else can he do but die, all the while burying the thought of "I don't want to be like this anymore" and just try to keep others at a distance.
