Is Gortash Hot Wulbren Bongle?

Discuss.

if wulbren bongle were a hot elf, the discourse about him would be radioactive

[lyrouxx]

again just realised I never posted this here but! a few months ago I made a gortash replacement mod for Stardew Valley as a desperate act to romance him somewhere... I'm still really pleased with the art so ig it's prime time to show him off again <3 I based it off of my own post-canon au but I kept his lines vague enough in case y'all would like to play around too! Here's the nexus modpage: link

Uh oh! The Archduke is being quite a grumpy gift it seems

Does it count as a "bow on top" prompt?

[violacee]

Gortash: Fine, you can kill them but it has to look like an accident.

Durge: Say no more.

[Later]

Flaming Fist: Looks like the killer beat them to death with a crowbar and placed a banana peel by the victim's feet.

[falloutnewnobody]

i keep thinking about that comic strip where gort at the coronation tells durge theyre married both because it's funny and i can't help but wonder

1. who ordained this wedding?

2. was this done with bane and baahl's permission or did they have an entirely seperate god if any at all approve their marraige

3. who attended this wedding? like theyre both very sucessful and charismatic cult leaders (gortash being straight up baldurian nobility) but theyre also *gestures vaugley at durgetash*

4. where was this wedding held?

5. what was the plan for post-absolute? like were they gonna get divorced before durge had to kill gort for real or were they just gonna be married during the whole 'durge killing everything until theyre the last people alive and then dying together on the altar of baahl thing'

6. did they have a prenup? if so who proposed it

7. on that note who proposed? what was the context?

8. was Hope invited given that she's kinda gort's family? was orin invited? was rapheal? were gort's parents? was serevok?

9. gort made the rings that's not a question that's justan idea that came into my head as i was typing this.

10. please i need a guest list for this fucking wedding this is driving me mad.

When the weird dragon kid next door has way cooler toys than you. (The cooler toy being a massacred teddy bear but like in a really cool way)

My TavTash is FoeYay and a result of my guilty pleasure brain going amok one day, it is mainly based in an universe alteration.

1. Tell us a bit about your Tav! 

Siova Tav was orphaned young and taken in my the Ilmatari temple of Baldur's Gate, eventually becoming a Cleric of the Life Domain for Ilmater. She has various guilt complexes and believes that she should endure anything if she can so others do not have to, and that luxuries is above her. Not particularly academically intelligent, but mature and understanding of others, making them often drop their guard and feel comfort in her.

2. What alignment is your Tav? How does that align or clash with Gortash? Do they agree with him morally?

Siova Tav is somewhere between lawful and neutral good. It clashes severely with Gortash both in regards to alignment and morality. While Siova might not have the healthiest of selfrespects, they do find themselves arguing their side more often than they perhaps would with others.

3. What God does your Tav follow? Is Gortash's position as Bane's chosen an issue? 

Siova Tav is a cleric of Ilmater, one of Bane's enemies, so that is a huge issue for them. In my UA story, at one point Gortash is severly injured and Siova instinctually tries to heal him, Ilmater intervenes because he refuses to have the powers he bestows be used to assist a tyrant of Bane's.

4. What did your Tav think of Gortash when they first met? Did they take his offer of an alliance? 

Siova Tav was worried about Gortash considering everything Karlach had told her about him, as well as the revelation that he is her god's enemy's Chosen, but tried to inhale copium with the belief that perhaps they could at least reach a compromise when he invited them to his ceremony.

Then Karlach was arrested, and Siova was terrified to going against Gortash in case he would hurt the tiefling, but could not accept the alliance, and so tried to keep it neutral. When she then tried to leave early and Gortash then mind tortured her, she became terrified of him.

5. How did Gortash and your Tav get together? What do they see in each other?

For them to get "together", I had to make a universe alteration based on a glitch that happened in my game; Siova was unable to get up the stairs from the Iron Throne and thus drowned, but because she had the Blood of Lathaner equipped she was alive on the beach instead of dead (I swear this happened but I no longer have the save file, and whenever I tried to recreate it with other characters it didn't work, so they might have patched it away). In this alteration, she was found and taken to Gortash, and he managed to arrest the rest of the companions before they could blow up the foundry.

In order to save their lives, Siova agrees to a divine pact where she gets Orin's netherstone and helps Gortash with the brain, then in exchange for the others' release she will stay with him as a hostage to keep them in line. Shenanigans happen not unlike in the game, when the battle is over the companions are gone from the city and she stays behind, initially in the prison cells but then later Gortash takes her up to his apartments since rumours spread that he was unjustly keeping the hero of Baldur's Gate in the cells.

Over time, they talk more and Gortash tries to rattle her, frequently going on power trips considering her fear of him and general submissive yet prideful nature, and Siova tries to understand him even if she struggles, as she finds out what happened to her friends. 

6. What does the future hold for your Tav and Gortash? Are they in a relationship, a one time thing, are they going to rule the sword coast together or kill each other in a tragic showdown?

There is no feasable way for Siova and Gortash to genuinely get together or fall in love with each other; the closest they get is Siova understanding him a bit more and Gortash being fascinated by her comforting nature both in the UA and in my "canon" story (where she is still taken after the Iron Throne collapse but her friends blow up the foundry and get to her before he kills her).

In "canon", they fight and he is killed like in the game, though not by her as Siova's only non-support ability is that necrotic spell level 1 melee. In my UA, in the end Siova chooses not to kill him, because that is what Karlach needs to move on. However, she is forever changed by him in many ways.

BG3 Villianmas: Mulled Wine

I wanted to try and do a limited colour study just for my daily art practice, and who better to practice on than our terrible tyrant

I'm sure the wine is perfectly safe to drink, he probably wouldn't poison it at Christmas, and you wouldn't want to risk turning down a toast by the Archduke, would you?

From the prompt list here!
