#evil Tav

[razrogue]

your hands around my heart, you're in control

you're the only one I keep so close

Possession and devotion...or destruction?

Thank you once again to @sinizade for this lovely art of Gan and Astarion!!!!!!!

[loveless-art]

tfw you fall for the True Soul but he's a chaotic fuck

[astarion-approves]

Brb, laughing my ass off.

New save, decided to try the Dark Urge. Didn't want to mix it up with my "Tav" save. I can't stop laughing.

"I'm in quite the state, but I think I'm Evil Tav--"

Au where the evil tav breaks mintharas mind and keeps her as their drooling pet

[bananasfosterparent]

The innocent face of a woman whose murder body count is so high, it'll take at least 3 pairs of hands to count them. At least.

Drawing I started right after I had a family tragedy strike but I finally went back and finished it. 💜 I love Efenity's face in-game because she always just looks cutesy and a bit mischievous when she's actually like the Worst Person™️

Also, the screenshot I was referencing:

i'm enjoying the new evil endings and this one felt super fitting for Avernele

BG3 Durge run: casualty list, sunmary etc. Durge spoilers.

I absolutely loved this run. Durge is like playing a completely different game! The plot is fantastic, and the dialogues are hilarious and very clever.

My Durge looks almost exactly like this! Love this tattoo design.

Party: Durge fighter, Astarion, Shart, random hireling sorcerer. Picking Duergar was a Choice, their movement is dogshit and they keep getting stuck on jumps 😭

Act 1

Gale: maimed, presumed dead. Unless Mystra took pity on him.

The Grove: bloodbath. Stole everything that wasn't nailed down.

Wyll: dead

Goblin leaders: dead. Minthara tried to shiv me when i picked Astarion over her, should have rerolled just to see her romance scene but it was late and I was tired.

Karlach: dead. Attacked me on sight yelling about the Grove massacre, which was weird but cool. How did she knowwwwww.

Laezel: dead, because she tried to shiv me when i was sick. Otherwise we were besties 😭

Act 2

Oliver: squished

He Who Was: openly likes me, headcanon dating.

Last Light Inn: bloodbath

Jahira: dead

Isobel: dead

Yurgir: freed from contract because i couldn’t trick him into yeeting himself

Nightsong: dead

Shart: Dark Justiciar mode.

Durge plot: think I'm figuring it out. Orin is getting slapped later.

Daddy Thorm: dead. Surprisingly easy to kill when everyone has misty step and range.

Githyanki plot: pretty much ignored.

Romances: dating Astarion, flirting with Shart.

Durge has slayer form which everyone else in the camp thinks is gross, but Durge absolutely loves it.

Act 3

Picking and choosing quests is fun! I'm already level 8 so can easily ignore stuff that feels too "good" to be of interest.

Somehow my general terribleness has made me Chronically Single. So I had to bang drow beef without the offer of a foursome. Sigh. Choosing the "kinky" options was hilarious.

Kissed and made up with Gortash. He's a good guy really, very swauve. Looking forward to killing him later.

Ascended Astarion. Went at level 10, fight was surprisingly easy now I know the mechanics of the power boosts. Also having Turn Undead is big and clever. Watching Cazador scuttle like a cockroach was very cathartic.

Murder tribunal: Met Saravok, he was fun! Chatted about the old days, killed an elephant, bathed in some blood. Good times.

Nightsong redux: Robbed Lorroakan while he sulked about the Nightsong being dead. Astarion can now summon Ghouls. (Genuinely, just hopped on downstairs and cleaned out the vault. Not a single combat reaction from anyone. Bugged? Or just wizarding hubris? Didn't try to take anything from the main tower tho as I didn't need the robes or staff.)

House of Grief: Shart turned about 1/4 of the adds to our side, so it was a surprisingly easy fight. Shart is now God's Extra Special Princess.

Orin: died in 3 turns, just went Slayer on her and ripped her apart. Fun! Astarion has a new sword.

Saravok redux: Durge has a nice new sword and hat. Although he did one-shot me at one point. Don't know why I expected anything other than a fight, honestly.

Gortash: roasted by the Netherbrain. Saves me killing him I guess. Bit annoyed that I couldn't loot him.

Ignored Raphael and Orpheus completely. Gave the Emperor the Netherstones. Pretty much zero Githyanki plot on this run, as it seemed pointless with Laezel dead.

Netherbrain: much harder with only 2 sets of allies! Blinding the dragon helped, and for some reason the mage got stuck and glitched, so I consider the fight Cheesed By Accident.

Ending: murdered the Emperor, dominated the Netherbrain, turned my party into thralls, ruled the world as Bhaal's Chosen. Epic end scene, absolutely brilliant. IN BHAAL'S NAME!

Some more unique Banite lines from the restored Bane mod! You can be grossed out by Selune's radiance,

torture a fairy for fun,

delight in more pain,

be really sadistic when torturing He Who Was' prisoner,

be totally cool with Shar worship,

dismiss Selune's daughter and get mad about being tricked (tricks probably lend power to Cyric and that's not on...)

and best of all, try to get Ketheric Thorm to work for you 😂

(also this tickled me for some reason)

✨ in your arms... ✨

@sinizade brought this scene from my fic, Baby You're The Devil I Know, to life and I couldn't be happier with the result! 🥰

Thank you so much and go get yourself some art from them!!!

NEW EVIL TAV???? YESSSSIR

she was raised by goblins and is nothing but power-hungry. At the start, she tries to be diplomatic and manipulative but in the end; she'll always side with the more bloody and entertaining option hehe

[astaribun]

Gods it'd been so long since I had the goblin party and it's only gotten buggier since launch. Minthara is so eager to send you to moonrise that if you've rizzed your way into multiple companions advances you don't even get to have your fun with them because the choice menu doesn't trigger.

Also it's so painful to watch Gale and Shadowheart struggle with their conscious and the subtle differences in Astarion are not lost on me either.

I think it's good my first run was evil durge rather than good Tav because it's so much harder doing evil now when I know what they can be with a kind leader.

I RECENTLY FINISHED MY BHAAL'S CHOSEN ENDING

Y'know, the absolute ending is the first one I saw in my original non-durge playthrough, because I quicksaved before the final choice out of curiosity. My character was always going to end up a villain in some way.

Except, the original ''absolute'' ending sucked ass? It was a Evangelion ''everyone claps'' ending. You'd enthrall everyone, sit down, say the words and everyone claps. Credits roll. Game is finished- It didn't feel that satisfying tbh.

Now I did the ''in the name of bhaal'' ending recently, and the cinematic changes are definitely appreciated. Your companions looking around as if they're happy with what you just did rather than clap with yellow glowing eyes.

I do like the idea of Astarion not being enthralled here, both of them walking into an uncertain future as Durge Loki is set on fullfilling daddy's wishes of ending the world no matter what. (The cinematic is a tiny bit longer and much cooler tbh.)

Perhaps a part of him hopes Astarion kills him as they sit at the seat as the absolute together, but he hesitates and doesn't end up going through with it. (More in the vein of, I thought ruling the world together would be more fun, rather than watching it burn below us while you suffer under your father's hold.) Bhaal refuses to let Loki rest or enjoy things beyond murder and destruction until all but he and Astarion are left. Centuries after the deed is done, they'll watch the stars of that universe collapse together before their death, spending decades in each others arms with no Bhaal, no foes, gods, heroes, or anything else to bother them.

''My sole endeavor now is making this world yours and mine alone.''

But turned up to a 1000..

Nah, angst is good but I prefer villains with some cozy domestic enjoying life side dish. I like a manor more than an empty post-apocalyptic world.

And this is why Locke/Loki is not canonically a durge, he has his own entire story and origin quest- most of which I drafted before I knew anything about durge or bhaalspawn. So when you eventually read more of his lore as it pops up in the comic, do know any similarities to durge are purely coincidental. I knew NOTHING about it cuz I worked on Loki's story while playing EA, finishing and altering the draft during my first full release playthrough way before any spoilers were posted online or epilogue was added. I explicitly avoided browsing social media and tags while playing the game.

My first playthrough as durge came much later, and I ended up deleting it and redoing it.

Loki's name changed a few times when I worked on him too, I even have old notes in my sketchbook reflecting how different his personality was at first. Might be funny to look back at it in a few years. Who knows.

Fucked up fade to black BG3 evil Tav/Aradin fic. I guess, like, maybe don't read it if you actually like Aradin? 😅

Up to you on AO3

Rated M; mind the non con warning and tags folks

teaser preview:

Within minutes of the initial altercation, Tav was more or less alone on the path with the unconscious mercenary. Slipping a vial from his pack, Tav downed a quick strength potion with a smirk, hoisted the man’s limp form off the ground, and set off to haul him back out of the grove.

Nobody seemed to care about two strangers leaving through the gate again. It didn’t take long before Tav had dragged the human out to a secluded nook of a cave he’d spotted on the way towards the grove community.

Just in time, too. The man was already starting to stir and mutter. Tav dropped him unceremoniously in the dirt and dug a length of rope from his own pack. Nimble, practiced fingers made quick work of several secure knots— and by the time the human was coming properly back into consciousness, Tav had him bound, gagged, and propped up against the damp, rough rock.

Crouching down in a comfortable squat on his heels, Tav smacked him across the face a couple times, just because he could, grinning to himself as he watched the man progress through the stages of coming to. First: flinching in groggy confusion. Next: bleary struggling as he blinked further awake. And lastly— always Tav’s favourite part— the scowl of angry confusion as some semblance of comprehension finally dawned.

“’hh uh’ huck?”

My Lolth-sworn drow sorcerer Evil!Tav. His name is Weaver (pronouns he/it) and he is HORRIBLE <3333 he had just escaped a loath sworn devout cult he was trapped in and fled into Baldurs gate when the mindflayers took him, and now he wants the world to know the pain he felt

I’ve been doing an evil run in baldurs gate (it’s so hard I keep feeling so guilty 😭😂) and I’ve fallen head over heels for my Evil!Tav. Will be drawing him more lol
