#karlach spoilers

So I’ve been romancing Astarion pretty consistently, but also flirted with/expressed affection for Karlach, because how could you *not*, really, and neither of them seemed to mind, so I hoped that maybe we could develop some sort of polyamorous arrangement

Sadly, after sleeping with Karlach after she gets her engine cooled down, Astarion was like, “ok, well, I guess that’s the end of things for us, then” and the way he seemed so resigned and accepting of it—like *of course* I would choose Karlach over him, *of course* she deserves to be happy even if it costs him—really surprised me.

Like, this is a guy whose primary character trait up to this point has been selfishness (and understandably so!) so for him to show empathy for Karlach here and to not even try to convince me to choose him instead of her really took me by surprise (and just made me love him more)

I feel like an asshole for breaking Karlach’s heart, but I also feel like I made the right decision in staying with Astarion (especially since this was his immediate reaction to being told I’d rather be with him:)

Here’s a shitty meme about Karlach because don’t you love a shitty hopeless ending for a terminally ill character who is endlessly cheery and helps you keep your head up?

[rage-claw]

i love how when you romance some of the companions like wyll or lae'zel or even gale they just have the cheesiest most romantic pickup lines like "if you were a song i'd never stop singing, if you were a psalm i'd never stop praying," "source of my bruises," "now i see the colors in between," "you make me forget my goddess." holy shit dude

then you romance the companions who don't have a single romantic bone in their body but still try so hard, like shadowheart, who invites u to shotgun wine and makeout on top of a cool rock she found, or karlach, who cries before and after sex and then asks if u guys can roleplay a future where she doesn't die horrifically in a fire. and then cries during that too.

Karlach's new extended romantic ending goes SO hard (clip below page break, because spoilers)

[feyremylove]

when you give Karlach a kiss and she says "it's a good old life, isn't it?" it breaks my fucking HEART. She's been given the news that she can't survive outside of Avernus because of her engine and yet here she is, just happy to be able to feel love and touch and dfjknglkjdasfbglakjdfga im going to fucking cRY MYSELF TO SLEEP NOW GOODBYE

Karlach new end scene

This is just going to be a rant. Spoilers for Karlach obvs.

TW: talk about death, dying & lifespan

I'm just really pissed off with the people saying that those who are annoyed by Karlach's endings are the same people who get angry at doctors when there is nothing to be done anymore. Sure, most eventually reach some sort of serenity, that it is okay. Some people stay angry.

But that's not the point. This is a fantasy game. A game I like to play to not think about my life. I have played this game for 245 hours. I have been happy for the first time in my life for so long. I didn't have to think about my medical issues for the first time in so long. I didn't have to think about the doctor who said I will die at 30 for the first time in so long. Because even though I'm doing well, and my lifespan has significantly pushed back even to a normal age to die at, it still triggers me. I will not believe I can be older than 30 until I reach that age.

And that's why Karlach's endings bother me so much. We either sentence her to a place she described to be "worse than death" or we let her just... go. Letting her go just... triggers me so much, especially when she tells us she doesn't want to die even though she reaches that point of serenity in the end.

This is a fantasy game, not real life. I don't have to be reminded that not everyone gets a happy ending because that may be my reality already.

Karlach Romance Spoilers

[anderswasrightt]

oof this part had me nearly sobbing. karlach 😭

[moons-and-dices]

I know nobody follows this acc. but still

I fucking love the game yeah. i'm having a LOT of fun with it but i've kinda lost ALL momentum i had after the first playthrough where ALL karlach endings fucking suck.

Going back to averuns doesn't sound great, With tav OR with wyll. dying sucks. period. And the last option is literally becoming a mind flayer, and basically fucking sucks as well...

I don't know, the steel guard saying that her engine is a prototype or like an early version of hers made me think that MAYBE we could fucking get yknow, a fix to her heart/engine, so she can stay in Faerun.

Gale gets a deus Ex Machina. why couldn't Karlach.
