when you give your gnome weird ears so now every gnome has to have weird ears

it means star

been thinking about the parallels between astarion and asterion.

if his parents knew what happened would they have mourned like pasiphae? so close but so far from reach.

This is what happens when racist Druids threaten a Cambion.

Almost certainly unnecessary, A!smp is probably completely separate, but when has that stopped us?

So I've been thinking about what Hera's nickname for asmp! Sunship would be. And have thought of a few possibilities. (Conclusion at the end feel free to skip)

If we go by a more leocoptera style of naming it could be anything but that seems to be the exception not the rule and so I shall focus on Greek/Roman heroes for now.

The traits I am using to narrow this down for asmp! Aimsey are:

. Royalty (preferably princehood)

. An association with space or the moon

. Possibly violence as an associated trait

. Association with knowledge and/or insanity

3. Theseus (Θησέυς)

This is not a particularly good one if only for how damp!Tommy has already claimed it.

However it does work a bit.

He is a prince, and a lost one at that. His father abandoned him in an attempt to protect him and (depending on how things go down at those coordinates this could really fit or really not) his father nearly had him murdered. Similarly, if in the future his relationship to Asmp!guqqie devolves it could perhaps mirror his relationship to Ariadne (who I may go over as a possiblity for Guqqie in a later part)

Sadly, after this it falls apart. He is typically considered quite noble,retains his sanity (I think) and his nature as more of a trickster contradicts A! Aimsey's more desperate panicked violence. Similarly, there is no association with space whatsoever.

2. Odysseus (Οδυσσευς)

By far the most famous on this list, I quite like Odysseus for the ways their stories mirror each other. The Odyssey is typically agreed to mainly symbolize thought and the nature of humanity, which to me feels similar to Aimsey's nature as a seeming human ending -however I understand this is a stretch. Similarly, their stories are both about a desperate struggle to either find or establish a home.

Odysseus was also royalty, the king of Ithica and had a connection to knowledge himself. Being originally allied with Athena before pissing her off. And had several moments where he struggled with the isolation her experienced on his journey. However, he has no major association with space and was mainly sane and if not peaceful his violence was carefully considered and controlled.

1. Asterion (Αστεριον)

While this will get all the bg3 nerds confused I think it really fits. Asterion means "starry" ( space association check) and is the name used by the citizens of Crete for the minotaur. As the step son of Minos he would have been considered a prince ( royalty, check) although not technically in line for the throne.

Immediately, the minotaur is associated with senseless violence and insanity as it was said to have a craving for blood and was locked in a maze by his stepfather to "protect his people". Similarly, even if sane at the beginning, all those years in darkness and solitude would have lead to desperation and insanity anyways.

However, even in the contemporary period this was understood to be not entirely accurate. Asterion was demonized by his father as a bastard - with a literal bull no less-and used as his own personal monster to threaten his enemies with. The famous labyrinth and human sacrifices were used as a punishment for Athens after their king killed Minos's son. This to me could perhaps mirror how humans are automatically assumed to be evil and how this has become a self fulfilling prophecy as they kill and steal out of fear

Anyways, this is my opinion and may not be entirely accurate. If you disagree or I got anything wrong please correct me and don't get mad please.

I adore your Mino tav it’s nice to see them around! I don’t tend to see much Tav Minos around in the BG3 fandom and hope to get to know more about them as you decide to follow up! ^^ Also hope your workload eases soon for ya! Take your time and stay hydrated :D Again very adorable art <3

Aw omg thanks anon! 🫶 I appreciate it a ton!

I do wish there were more critter characters in the game for sure. I totally know logistically game makers cant throw in a million different races with a million different design options but MAN… I can wish can’t I? 😔 at least we got lizards…

[cosmicbucket]

I CANT FIND THE COOLEST POST EVER AND IM SO UPSET ABOUT IT

someone made some art for their bg3 tav if they were a companion and i CANNOT FIND IT but if literally anyone can i will love you for the rest of my life

THINGS I REMEMBER ABOUT IT:

The character was called Mino, Mimo, Momi, Moni, etc. SOMETHING like that. They were a bard, I think an elf?

Backstory included stealing a composition from someone else? and a dash of murder?

Personal quest was about them being contracted to work for a shit guy and you could either kill him or break the contract?? smth smth

Their romance requirements said you must have 1000g in your inventory no matter how high the approval and yknow what. BASED

IT WAS GORGEOUS THE ART WAS PERFECTION AND I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE o(-(

if anyone can find it PLEASE tag me in an rb or send it to me or ANYTHING

Just a photo of two pages from my sketchbook with some doodles. I've played D&D (Spelljammer) with some friends yesterday after several months playing BG3 together. It was wonderful to return to our old characters. But my brain? Just thinking about my Tavs, Astarion (I played him in my second playthrough) and there was enough space for a Gale doodle as well. Left top: My first Tav - Nyloth. Drow, rogue, who became a bard later in the game. I used to call him the "lovesick fool" because he was so helpless in love with Astarion. He did a lot of morally questionable things in act 1. And he is sooo handsome! Seriously - I would romance that fool! And to be honest - the wavemother's robe suits him even better than Astarion! Two peacocks, one adventure. Directly under Nyloth: This strange shapes will become my multiplayer Tav - Mino'rass. Nyloth's elder sibling and the reason why he had to leave Menzoberranzan as a kid. They have a complicated relationship. Mino is a ranger (gloom stalker) and had no romance in our game - it was hard to romance anyone because we four left the companions in camp. I tried to have a good relationship with Gale, but nope! Maybe I will play Mino again on my own and maybe I will romance someone else (Lae'zel? Karlach? Wyll? Halsin? I like them all). Next to Mino'rass (and also just some shapes with a hair bun): My newest Tav created on saturday, when I recovered from a concert the evening before and did nearly nothing except for eating, existing and playing. Her name is Eloriel, high elf (moon elf), monk and dark urge. She tries to resist, meditates a lot, drinks LOTS of herbal teas to calm down and flirted a bit with Lae'zel. And then she gave Astarion a certain book, let him bite her and let him kill the gur and now he calls her darling ... well, at least she is no lovesick fool. She got enough problems already.

draw minos? 🥺👉👈

i will i prommy 🫡 im playing baldurs gate rn <- has been logging 14 hrs a day on bg3 for the past 2 months

[kitsunehb]

True. :( Nyloth is that ... 'thing' on the left side.

My other characters, who need some attention, are: Mino from BG3 (multiplayer with some friends; Mino is also Nyloth elder sibling), Shodaree (Khajiit), Celendar (Altmer) and Nolyn (Dunmer) from The Elder Scrolls Online, Xelendar (Astral Elf) from Spelljammer/D&D, Nebel (german for "Mist", Tabaxi) from D&D and Jilal (human, Jedi) from Star Wars. I want to draw for all of them and write stories!

For those of us who have multiple characters... the struggle is real.
