Meanwhile, enjoy this crossover art I did. The BG3 brainrot is in full swing alongside my undying twilight obsession. I had to draw this bc it keeps making me laugh XD The Team Edward to Astarion Simp pipeline is real

[ali3nboyfriend]

a while back i was looking around for mods that give companions very subtle visual tweaks. i didn't want stuff that turned astarion into edward cullen, but i'd seen a few around that made minor edits to them that made their designs, in my opinion, just ever so slightly more interesting.

below the cut are my findings, some of which are illustrated above! the most major ones are total edits to karlach's face; the rest are hair changes, texture changes, and other small things.

KARLACH

Early Access Karlach - changes Karlach's face model to be more like her early access version. has optional dreads.

Karlach's Glowing Horns - makes the text on Karlach's horns glow and pulse. theoretically compatible with any mods that edit Karlach's face.

Datamined Karlach - another face mod, replaces Karlach's face with a datamined version. there are optional other edits to her eyes and hair.

Euphrosyne - Karlach Edits - various edits to Karlach's face and hair.

WYLL

Wyll's Devil Form - the OG and what got me interested in finding and compiling mods like this in the first place. edits Wyll post-transformation to look more like a tiefling/devil.

Wyll's True Bloostone Eye - makes Wyll’s eye actually a bloodstone. imho this makes it pop way better.

EOW - Romantic Long Hair for Wyll - gives Wyll long dreads. compatible with Devil Form but you have to install the provided patch mod from the Devil Form page.

Portraits for Romantic Long Hair for Wyll - updates Wyll’s portrait to match the long hair mod.

Terpsichore - Wyll Edits - various edits to Wyll's face, hair, and clothes.

ASTARION

That Unsightly Mole - A Very Subtle Astarion Edit - makes Astarion’s mole slightly more prominent and optionally gives him white eyelashes. i am honestly obsessed with how it ages him.

Astarion's Earrings - earrings for Astarion. these are wearables and can be put in either the underwear slot or the helmet slot.

Astarion's Glasses - cute little grandpa glasses for Astarion. these are fucking adorable. requires Appearance Edit Enhanced.

Astarion's Gear - adds outfit and armor options specifically made for Astarion. admittedly this only technically follows the theme of this list, but I'm including it because I do really like these clothes for him.

LAE'ZEL

Alt Lae'zelhawk - Hair Replacer - gives Lae’zel an undercut based off of this fanart.

Lae'zel Makeup Edits - various makeup edits for Lae’zel. the one that removes her eye makeup is the one i'm using in the screencap up top. it REALLY does something for her eyes.

GALE

Gale's Wizardly Updo - tbh this + the slightly older Gale mod are the only ones you need installed in your game ever. gives Gale a manbun.

Slightly Older (And Disheveled) Gale - exactly what it says on the tin. really gives Gale a little something i think he was missing before.

Unique Starter Robes for Gale and Camp Robes for Gale - makes Gale's starting armor more unique. the camp robes mod is the same set of robes, but as his camp clothes instead.

Gale's Concept Art Armor - gives Gale an armor set based off his concept art.

SHADOWHEART

More Prominent Scars for Shadowheart - exactly what it says. there's a few different options as far as visibility and placement of her scars.

Shadowheart Hair Tweak - tweaks Shadowheart's hair to make it look less like a helmet. there's some options that only affect her bangs or her sides.

Asymmetrical Shadowheart Concept Outfit - gives Shadowheart the armor from her concept art.

Shadowheart's Tattoos - gives Shadowheart the tattoos from her concept art. made to go with the armor listed above.

Shadowheart Makeup Remover - takes off Shadowheart’s makeup. same as I feel with Lae'zel, this really does something for her eyes.

MISC.

these are not in the same genre as the previous mods, but felt worth mentioning for making companions feel a little more alive.

More Camp Idles For Wyll And Astarion - gives Wyll and Astarion more idle animations in camp.

Astarion's Hairbrush Replacer - goes w the previous mod. gives Astarion a wide-toothed comb instead of a bristle brush so he doesn't damage his POOR FUCKING CURL PATTERN.

More Reactive Companions - makes companions in general more reactive by adding in banter lines you normally only get while playing as them.

Twilight and Its Ever-Changing Directors—Why Catherine Hardwicke’s is The Best. 

Twilight is one of my top three favorite films and was my introduction to fan culture. My stepmom was an avid fan, taking my sister and me to the midnight premieres, playing the original soundtrack on the way to school, and reading each book as they were released. Every fall, I enjoy revisiting my favorite characters as part of my Halloween tradition. While my love for the series is unmatched, there are things I wish were different. Like many fans, my biggest gripe with the franchise is the constant change in style, which primarily comes down to the director changes between films. There is no doubt that Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight was the best. Her 2008 adaptation was the most well-received among all the films by critics, as it ranked highest according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Hardwicke’s understanding of teenagers demonstrated in films like Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown, made her the perfect choice for Twilight. Summit, the producer of Twilight, approached her after recognizing her knack for exploring the complexity of teenage emotions.  Hardwicke agreed to direct and, despite a modest $4 million budget, she created the beloved film starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Blue, dreamy, moody, and romantic, the first Twilight aesthetic became iconic, thanks to Hardwicke’s indie film sensibility. Unlike other adaptations of the time, Twilight felt more intimate—its hushed dialogue, early 2000s fashion, and on-location filming only added to its charm. Following its release, Twilight grossed $393 million worldwide. Following its success, Summit wanted a sequel as soon as possible, giving Hardwicke less than a year to create and direct New Moon. Hardwicke argued against execs, which ultimately ended in Summit abandoning her to find someone who would meet their demands. 

In 2009, New Moon was directed by Chris Weitz, and the remaining three films were also helmed by male directors. Although the sequels enjoyed box office success, critically, they fell short compared to Hardwicke’s original vision. Hardwicke expressed her opinion on this choice of directors, saying: “[it was] a heartbreak for me. There are other badass women out there that could have done those.” The absence of a woman's perspective is evident in the remaining films.

Weitz was still finishing New Moon when Eclipse began filming, leading David Slade to take over as director. Previous to Eclipse, Slade solely directed gritty and disturbing films like Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night. Summit chose Slade because of this, hoping he would create a “complex, visually arresting world,” as they described it in their 2009 official press release. While Slade brought a darker tone to Eclipse, the film suffered in its portrayal of Bella, who seemed more passive and confused, caught between Jacob and Edward. This shift in focus, from the internal struggles of the characters to more surface-level action sequences, is where the magic of the first film began to dissipate.

In Hardwicke’s Twilight, Bella’s perspective of Forks is misty and lulling, reflecting her remembrance of the town from when she was a child. There's a certain awe to Forks, the Cullen family, and budding romance between Edward and Bella. Even amid conflict, there was a lingering sense of wonder. As the films progressed, however, that distinct storytelling faded. The blues become auburn and shift to gray, much like the narrative. Some might argue this reflects the maturing of the theme, but I believe it reflects the later directors’ lack of connection to the source material. Hardwicke and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg fought to give Bella more agency and have her be a “little less passive than she was in the book,” as Hardwicke described. Rather than focusing on the internal and emotional conflict the main characters face, later directors indulge more in the action of the books.

Despite the disappointing predecessors to the first film, Hardwicke remains positive about her work on the Twilight set. “As a director, you work so hard; you pour your heart into so many projects; some of them get made, some of them never get made,” Hardwicke explained. “This one got made, and people loved it and appreciated every little detail. I mean, people are wearing the shoes that Bella wore and asking how you chose this and that, and they really care about the love and attention that filmmakers put into it.” Even though she wasn’t able to continue directing the series, her impact on the franchise is enduring and continues to be admired by fans.

In the end, while the saga might have evolved in ways that didn’t always meet my expectations, Twilight will always hold a special place for me. And every fall, I return to Forks, finding comfort in the nostalgia and magic of that first film.
