There is something funny about BG3 fanfictions that I’ve seen of Tav sketching out Astarion, and Astarion not realizing that it is him.

Because Gale is like right there and can no doubt make an illusory image of Astarion. He made one of Mystra, there’s no way he can’t do it for someone in camp.

That being said, I like to think that he is keeping it to himself because frankly Astarion gets on his nerves.

John Crocker: Consider your SISTER.

Your name is John Crocker, you're thirteen years old, and you think your older sister might be dead.

You've brought up this theory to a few friends already. Your friend DAVE just said that you need to lay off the ecto-kool, and then you got into an argument about the correct spelling of Ecto Cooler. It was pretty fun, but not the most productive.

Your friend JADE said that it was possible your older sister was dead, and suggested seeing if you could stitch up her body. You made a gross-out face in the chat, and then said that you don't think she has one anymore. She then suggested building a robot to house her spirit in, but the thought of using one of your GREAT-GRANDMA'S DRONES for that purpose really freaked you out.

Your older sister isn't very associated with the color red, in your head.

Your friend ROSE had a helpful suggestion, for her definition of helpfulness. She suggested performing an exorcism in your sister's room, to lay her spirit to rest. While you're glad for the advice (it seemed to you like Rose did genuinely believe you when you said your sister is dead), you don't want to exorcize your sister.

You just want her back.

It was at that point that Rose's older sister had walked into her room, stolen her computer, and suggested you spear her with a 2x3dent to "make S)(OR-E she's dead."

You don't like MEENAH's suggestions very much at all.

You asked your DAD what he thought about the situation. He took off his hat and stroked his clean beard and then told you that he was pretty sure that ghosts weren't real, and so everything was okay.

You choose to not believe him. You want ghosts to be real.

Because if they're not real, then your sister really is --

You don't let yourself finish the thought.

Your dad seems to sense that something about his words upset you. And you ask, again, if your older sister is dead.

Your dad smiles at you. He says ARADIA is much tougher than she looks, champ. One MOSTLY FATAL MAILBOX EXPLOSION won't be enough to take her out -- she's got the Egbert constitution in her.

You ask what Egbert means, and your dad sheepishly scratches his head and changes the topic. Besides, he says. He thinks your sister is just depressed about life in general.

You look up at your dad.

Depressed?

Your dad says he thinks it's possible. Teenage girls tend to get depressed.

You think back to your sister.

You think back to how she barely talked to you, in the days after the explosion.

You think about how she had to deal with all of the weight of the Crocker company for so long, which is all under question given the brain injuries she (might) have gotten.

You think about what it must have been like to feel it all evaporate in heat and flame.

You think about how you stood outside, where your mailbox once was

and looked into her room

and saw her floating.

And you nod at your dad.

You think you understand, now.

Your dad smiles at you, and kisses you on the head. He tells you to not worry about your sister too much today.

It's your birthday, after all. And your friends sent you gifts.

And there's a new video game you'd been meaning to try out.

I've been meaning to give 'Casimir' a design for the longest time but ya boy hates not having a cannon thing to roll off of 😭 I will get to it though because I simply have to.

[girlbowser]

Would you ever think about posting that fanfic you wrote of that au someone dreamed up on a fanfic site, like ao3 or something? It's seems really cool so far, but I kinda struggle with reading it on Tumblr

Gonna post it tomorrow! For now, here's the pesterlog bit, as a screenshot from @flaringk's homestuck5plus tool:

I'm calling the au "DREAMSTRIDE."

[dreamstriderart]

I find it incredibly funny that most of the Tav BG3 art that I have seen have Tav vibing or being lovey-dovey with some of the game characters.

Meanwhile, I exist with my Tav, Elias, throwing hands with both most the party; holds Astarion at knife point and fully believing that Gale is some sort of con man. (This is early act1 mind you)

Do any TES nerds want to help me find every quest from any of the games that deal with Vaermina and the Quagmire/Dreamstride I would love you forever

Regarding the last update about Aurene. I'm pondering it in Dragon of Time. It does prove that there is a difference between Aurene's foresight and Nykai's though. Hers was tied to the dragon cycle. His is just part of his abilities as a dragon of time.

I'm also pretty sure that Vlast agrees to watch over his sister while she rests. She is the filter, that is still her purpose. But Vlast and Nykai... they were never planned for. They are Elder Dragons, but they weren't part of the plan. They have to figure out their place in the world on their own.

On the bright side, while Aurene rests, Nykai and Vlast are awake. They're able to help and guide things. And they can delve into a dreamstride to speak with Aurene. So she's never too far... Cor can still speak with her, at least through a messenger.

EP Review: Jack Wakeman & The Dreamstriders - The Twilight Zone

Glasgow-based alternative indie, rock and prog-pop act Jack Wakeman & The Dreamstriders have just hit my radar thanks to the release of their debut EP. Focussing on themes of apocalyptic optimism, impending doom, and tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, it’s called The Twilight Zone. Continue reading Untitled

People are out here with their Tavs absolutely adoring origin characters, but I’m out here picking flights.

Elias (my tav) heard what the Gale had to say about his condition (plus was hella vague about it) and immediately thought of him as a conman .
