Hey, hope you're having a good day! How about 6 and 15 for the Tav ask meme? 👀

Thank you! Hope you're having a great day too :)

(answering these for my tav!)

6. How would the player go about meeting them in Act 1? What is their introduction?

You'd probably bump into her at the Grove, alongside two of her elder siblings who are also of the Church of Ilmater. Gula (the cleric) would be working with the other healers, Enki (the monk) would be doing fuck all to help, and can be found spending time with the kids. Probably has already befriended Wyll at this point.

Marduk on the other hand would probably be more of a peacemaker between the tieflings and the druids, settling arguments between both the factions and trying to stop them from getting at each other's throats. Has probably already tried to go and look for Halsin herself, but without success.

You'll meet her with the other tieflings when you first come across the grove. She'll be fighting alongside them against the goblins, and once the battle is done she'll come up to you and give some exposition as to what you just walked into - and that's where your tadpoles sense each other.

She's cheery and quick to complement. Astarion would probably get annoyed by her, Lae'zel too, though she can tell that you've met a capable warrior and won't question much if you decide to recruit her. The rest would probably warm to her immediately.

15. Is your Tav more likely to fight/flight/freeze/fawn?

Again, she's often a peacemaker, trying to get both sides to stop arguing or fighting and come to as much of an amiciable solution as possible. So she does tend to fawn, I guess? She's very good at calming people down, at rationalising in moments of high emotion. Also helps that she can read people very well, though how and why she's come to that is also a funny little story... (*cough* hypervigilance *cough*)

Pinned Post 💛

Hey, you! Welcome to my writing blog! I’m BottomBatch (or Kal, if you prefer). I mainly write bg3 and LoL fic! Mainly Karlach/Tav or Jinx/Lux, respectively.

Surfacing is my series on AO3, its a Tav/Karlach fic which features my nonbinary drow oc, Laz. It deals with gender, cycles of violence (once i write that part :,) ), and personal growth. Check it out!

All of my writing exists on Ao3 but I occasionally post headcanons, fandom posts, or general writing posts on here!

Feel free to talk to me about anything bg3, arcane, or LoL!

I follow back on @kalcony because this is a side blog!

I try to tag by fandom and characters, but here are some others:

#Party Banters - A time-stamped (on desktop) compilation of my favorite romance banters in the game! Mostly Karlach, Lae'zel, and Minthara.

#Drow culture, #drow lore - Anything I find about being drow!

#thoughts on writing, #fic things - Posts about the fic writing process or just writing in general.

#other people’s writing, #fanfic recs - Other writing or fics I enjoyed

#ttrpg - Tabletop related posts — not an active tag tbh

#personal - when im feeling self centered

I mean, I'm legally obliged to ask about Shadowheart Forgor

Obviously, I get multiple asks on my least developed idea lmao

Sorry, @kalcony this will absolutely not be the final title (assuming I ever actually write this)

This is a doc with literally 4 lines rn.

Shadowheart x Karlach

Years after the events of BG3

Karlach had her heart fixed

Shads gets dementia

The idea is that Shadowheart has been with a partner who hasn't had to consider their life without her, because their lifespan is much shorter than that of a half-elf.

I chose Karlach cause I love them together and also the extra layer of hurt there.
