[traceofexistence]

Lae'zel is such an archetype in Forgotten Realms stories. I particularly know most about the Drow, and the whole deal of them growing up in a culture that conditions them to be cruel. Then some escape that, because they met someone, or happened to go outside underdark, or were just too curious, and privileged to escape

Drizzt, Liriel, and Halistra are some of the examples.

and from what we know about Gith, and how they react to anyone, makes it plain as day that Lae'zel is not like other gith, and she only needed that one event in her life that showed her a different world to make her drop her cult like a hot potato, later on.

I think the BG3 writing for Lae'zel is phenomenal, and anyone who refuses to play through her story simply misses out.

PS: she's like only 21? so basically she's still a baby in comparison to the other companions.

... y'all know Lae'zel is acting scared, right?

Video transcription: I've seen a lot of comments on my short about Lae'zel dismissing her entire character because she's mean and… I'm just checking in here… you guys know she's scared, right? She's terrified. She was kidnapped by the worst monster she knows, infected with the most horrifying death anyone in her culture can have, and then stranded on a hostile world, alone, with nothing to guide her except the dogmatic military cult indoctrination of a cruel lich demigod, telling her that her only hope of salvation is to follow Gith doctrine with total unyielding faith. And still she tries to save you. When she keeps insisting that you must get to the Githyanki crèche, it's our only hope, she's trying to guide you towards the only salvation she knows from the parasite, so she can share it with you. And Gith... aren't supposed to do that, saving an outsider is not part of the doctrine, she's breaking the rules trying to do right by you. None of that means she's not being an asshole, she's rude, dogmatic and unpleasant. But everything she does comes from a genuine, very misguided and abrasive, desire to do the right thing. It doesn't make her behaviour okay, but there is more to her character than just "being the mean one."

To expand on this a bit more than I can in a 60 second short, people acting from fear and from their damage is a major theme among the Baldur's Gate 3 companions.

Lae'zel is terrified and falling back on the only thing she believes will give her back some control over her situation, which is the dogma of the military cult she's in. Shadowheart is much the same, amnesiac and grasping on to the only solid thing she knows, which is her faith, which preaches deception, loss and duplicity as the only certain factors in life.

Gale is an inveterate people-pleaser desperately dependent on other people to help him feed his magic addiction, with his overtly affable exterior hiding a rolling boulder of guilt, ambition, greed, arrogance and legitimate hurt. Asterion is... well, no way to really lay out his deal without spoiling, but the boy has been through it and his self-destructive, hedonistic and selfish impulses are all coping mechanism and self-defense all the time.

None of that make their shitty behaviours okay, but in a fictional story, those kinds of flaws and toxic behaviours are what make for interesting stories and characters. I don't blame anyone for finding Lae'zel unpleasant and abrasive, but I do get a bit Old Man Yells At Cloud about people who casually brag about shoving her off a cliff-side, or murdering her because "she was a bitch" or whatever.

Like... being unable to face discomfort in your media is not a virtue, and lashing out reactively against fiction that doesn't validate your power fantasy isn't a flex.

Of course, I saw a lot of those reactions in YouTube comments and on social media, so my sample is biased by those algorithms, but still. A lot of people seem aggressively proud that they never engaged with her story because the terrified indoctrinated child-soldier wasn't immediately nice to them and I can't explain it but something about that reaction feels puritan to me.

[bisexualrights]

I just wanna fuckin @ all the people who fucked me over, bullied me, pushed my friends away, treated me like shit all over simple issues that could have been resolved through communication, misinformation being spread, lies being told, and general ignorance on all parts

Most of y'all we're adults, I was a kid, and you treated me like absolute shit. I wish I was brave enough to call you all out. I wish my memory wasn't so fucked that I could actually remember what I did/what you said. All I do remember are the feelings I was left with and the damage that was done to me. More than anything I just wish SOMEONE would fucking apologize to me. I just want someone to realize they were wrong in how they treated me and say sorry. That's all I want.

THE GAME by helloliriels | 12 Days of Johnlock

A convicted murderer, John is thrown into a futuristic online game of life and death to serve out his sentence ... only to find that he has no control 🎮 over his actions here and that few in this game will survive!

... But when the woman he is accused of having murdered, suddenly appears in the game also ... John begins to question who is playing who?

Meanwhile Sherlock Holmes may have just found something a thousand times more interesting than 'The Game' at last! ... and decides to leave the comfort of his mansion to jump in and Save John Watson.

Yes ... I'm still catching up to xmas time shenanigans lol.

EDGE OF OBLIVION

by helloliriels | a final '12 Days of Johnlock' concept manip

Sherlock is an arrogant theorist, unused to battle. John is a wounded hero, unused to losing his ... Together, they form an unlikely alliance.

And while Sherlock knows sentiment to be a chemical defect, only found on the losing side ... he also knows now ... what it means to lose everything.

The final problem? How to end this war ... with the Angel of Verdune still at his side, and his humanity intact!

H.O.U.N.D. (Unleashed AU) by helloliriels

When Sherlock takes on the case of Henry Knight ... he is unprepared for what he will find at Baskerville.

Behind the facade of doped up monkeys, glowing rabbits, and the ever-present alien joke ... Sherlock suspects there's a darker trial being run. One without full govt authority ... that involves a very human subject.

It will take all of his courage to face this adversary - to risk his life and his career - to unleash the H.O.U.N.D. from its master, its collar, and it's cage ... and to give him a chance at true Liberty ...

A chance to feel human again.
