#durge: century

[asstariontrash]

murder... cousins...? 🔪🔪

Work's been very stressful lately and I got hooked on @jellymellydraws 's "I've Got You" fic to unwind — it's a treat. Astarion is a bard, Alfira's joined camp and nothing bad has happened (...yet...?), the ensemble cast is really well-handled, I am having a fantastic time.

Anyway it got me thinking about whether or not our Durges could be friends. I think the answer is yes. :>

pre-tadpole durgetash + constant PDA around moonrise towers (that drives ketheric utterly insane)

[rrredgi]

Call him LORD Gortash.

Idk I think he's slaying the look of a late 17th century corrupt politician (also the gloves of that time just fit my idea of a cool artifact)

(totally not connected to my current reading of another Dumas)

Guys I can't do anything about it..... I hate his in game design 😭 the way it kinda looks like the concept art but also has a totally different vibe?.. All the metal twirls of his gauntlet and sleeves look like cosplay plastic. I'm so sorry for speaking the truth

Anyway I've had this idea for the longest time and it turned out ok

Caught up now on drawing requests for Dr. Al-Deeb's fundraiser.

Furiosa from Mad Max for @dendrogaster

My coworker Marty in his work costume, (requested through text message).

A Durge, Rylzyne, for @lewvithur

And @yourtauntaunwillfreeze 's lovely partner!

Going to continue doing this until Friday! We've raised at least €230, though there have been a lot more donations than drawing requests according to the notes, which is honestly fantastic. Thank you so much to everyone donating!

AU where Halsin immediately figures out durge is a Bhaalspawn with a brain injury.

[kekeandherrpgs]

Personal headcanon:

Halsin can’t handle spicy food very well. Yes he did have stomach problems (at first, he was fine after a month) when he lived a year at Jyothika’s village and he would join her family for dinner every night (he was technically a guest of her Amma’s, her Amma asked Halsin to teach some of the villagers, who had Druid magic, and he stayed on for a year to do so)

But he loves sweet food (one of his fav things is honey after all). And he loved all the desserts that her people made

So when he joins the camp and realizes that not only can Jyothika cook now, she can also make all of her people’s desserts (especially Gulab Jamun) you better believe he starts bugging her to make it often

And yes he was a bit of a menace at the tiefling party when Jyothika was making food for everyone (in my headcanon, Jyothika makes all the food for the party because she wants the refugees to have a good meal to celebrate the fact that they survived the goblin camp) and he kept trying to eat the desserts and she had to swat him away before finally roping him and Bhavan (who kept trying to sneak pieces of the grilled meat) into helping her cook

She also gets Gale to help her cook too, since it’s a lot of food for a lot of people and it’s the one time he doesn’t fight with her about cooking

Bhavan meanwhile was on cloud nine the entire time he was eating her food during the party because, as I mentioned before, he’s from the same culture as her. He does not remember his past at this point however which means he does not remember that this is his food culture too. But he recognizes everything, once he tastes it, as something he grew up eating. And after the tenth time of commenting “oh my gosh I know this, I think I grew up eating this” Jyothika is finally like “Bhavi, I think you might be from the same culture as me”

Which is very exciting for her (even if he doesn’t remember) because it’s been ages since she last met anyone from her culture

Gortash's favorite attack dog <3

Spine, my durge, goes by He/They/It !

Raphael has been more of a guide during Vals journey. There to provide council should she ask. But he insists Val learn most things herself. So Raphael stepping in to warn her in this one moment was to be taken seriously. He doesn't want to lose her, even if he's trying to play coy about it.

"I've grown quite fond of you" bbg your tongue was down her throat 5 minutes ago.

How would Fine feel about being desired by some random person (who inexplicably knows all about situation)? Or are his nether regions only programmed to react to Minty and/or Gorty?

It's complicated I guess.

My man's jaded, and a bi, kinda arospec catastrophe.

If he catches wind of someone knowing him, his first response is hostility. He has the ultimate trust issues, and considering the past has shown him that they're usually warranted, he does not deal well with such stuff.

On the other hand, manage to bond or view him as a human and he'll perform great sacrifices if need be. He'll never label it cuz everyone he's ever loved either a) died or b) tried to kill him (damn this man has an awful track record) but he gives absolutely no fucks about what's between ur legs though.

So if I were to write a comprehensive How to romance Guide:

1) don't be Gortash, unless you own the city he wants to live in.

2) bond with him

3) enjoy the fruits of your labour. Now you can also tell him you knew him; he will feel betrayed but he'll quickly get over it by grace of delusion and denial.

oh the divorce drama potential between ascended gale and ascended tav/durge is DELICIOUS

[zoneofsmites]

Narrator: the blood in your head thrums and pounds. That pounding obscures who you are. An overwhelming loss of memory. How you ended up amidst these hellish flames is just as hidden. You have nothing in your skull, besides your name and a headache. But you are in danger. Sylas: *Say your name aloud. You have that part of yourself.* Narrator: The Dark Urge. Whatever that is. That is you. You will claw back the truth, but first you have to claw your way out of here.

3rd run of my boy here we go!

I've had a whole post about Sylas and his alienation from his own name sitting in my drafts for days. The abridged version is that his adoptive family named him Sylas Maeve - and he has tried to shed his first name to become a tool but it has haunted him for more than a century of life.

When he wakes up on the nautiloid the first name he remembers is exactly that - Sylas Maeve.

[lelianasbong]

crying over "i've killed so many people, you should end me" followed by wyll's immediate "i trust you whether or not it's wise, you don't have to do this alone"

feeling insane about dark urge/wyll romance in act 2

get out of my camp sceleritas but also tell me more about how much wyll loves me. please.

also, the aftermath conversation:

it's giving "it's rotten work / not to me, not if it's you"

[kekeandherrpgs]

I just realized the “hey Halsin you’re old as shit right?” Banter that Karlach has with Halsin would probably be used for Jyothika and Bhavan too

Karlach: hey, Jyothika and Bhavan, you’re also old as shit too, right?

Jyothika, offended: I mean, I’m not that old, I’m only 301–

Bhavan, who is 199 years old: oh, definitely, old as dirt. That’s why my hair is white
