I can be proudly black AND proudly nonhuman!!! We exist!!!!

[chaosgenasi]

We came to a young world. We came to a world of raw, elemental wonder. Of chaos and exultant passion. Of energy vaster, and more potent than anything we beheld in the cosmos... It doesn’t seem like it’s random or chaos. It just seemed like potential.

My first attempt at writing that's vaguely like poetry: from a dragon

I am not what you think.

I walk around, awkward limbs and flighty mannerisms, and you think I’m strange. You have no idea how strange you would think I am if you only saw what was underneath.

Underneath, I am a creature of the ocean. Something that could never pass as human, and no longer wants to. Saltwater rushes through my veins in secret, silent to everyone but me. To me, it’s a roaring sound of the waves that I have never seen except for within my soul. It yearns to dissolve into the ocean like it could long ago, but for now those days are over and I am hidden underneath skin and muscle.

Underneath, there are wings; fins; antlers. They ache to tear from my back, through my skull. Nonetheless, they stay hidden for me, safe in the silence. Protected like I protected my kin in a lifetime so close to the surface and yet unreachable. Wrapped in a form that no longer coils around them like a serpent, but keeps them hidden from predators well enough I suppose.

I suppose.

I accept my form reluctantly and do what I can to make it mine. I shape it to feel better when I discover my gender, and when I can’t shape it to fit my true self I cover it in things that feel a little more like home. A little more draconic. A little more like the ocean that I never have seen, but feel homesick for anyway.

I do find joy in being in this body, at least. Out there, there are others. Angels working minimum wage, dragons sitting on a park bench, wolves buying groceries. We hide, but we do so to be free. We walk through crowds, and no one notices our scales and fur and feathers. But we do. We see each other, even if from miles away, and we see what’s underneath.

And underneath, none of us are what you think.

abso-fuckin-lutely the stormbarrow's inherited the ability to purr, what do you take me for???? griffin finds this whimsical, leigh DOES NOT.

realistically, this intraction probably happened when they were much younger lol, but I actually drew the pannels out of context, and then realized i had to add context to them, so just pretend they're the correct ages.

Shovel the fucking quasit

Finally figured out what the deal is with the summon Shovel spell. After about 85 reloads to test it, it seems that Setting Shovel's name is crucial to getting her to say the "ooh a spellshite" line which will then add the "summon cheeky quasit" spell to your spellbook for a wizard/sorcerer/warlock.

We all know it's bugged for storm and draconic sorcerers, it's because their unique dialogue with Shovel overrides the option to set her name.

There are other posts floating around on reddit saying you have to choose certain dialogue options in a 1,1,1,1,1,1,2 way, and while it works (for non storm/draconic sorcerers), it works BECAUSE that order will set her name as Shovel. You can actually choose any dialogue options: As long as you set her name as Shovel before speaking to her with the character you want the permanent summon spell on.

[I've sent bug reports to Larian about this, please do not message me telling me to do so. They know. I promise. I've sent them my findings. Hopefully they can fix Shovel's dialogue tree so that the spellshite line triggers reliably. But it's fucked for now and has been since EA, so here's how to get the summon for storm/draconic sorcerers.]

Example for what worked to get summon quasit spell:

Use any companion (any class, but NOT a sorcerer) to cast the scroll.

Choose whatever dialogue options you want. But during this conversation at some point you MUST choose the dialogue option "your name is shovel?"

This will give you the option to name Shovel. You can choose either option 1. "What do you want to be called?" followed by "Shovel is fine". Or just choose 2. "Shovel is fine"

Finish the conversation however you want.

Switch to Tav (or the character you wish to get the permanent summon spell on [they MUST have at least 1 level of wizard/sorcerer/warlock]) and speak to Shovel. Shovel should now say "ooh a spellshite!" and the summon quasit spell will appear in their spellbook. Boom. Have fun murderising!

I tested this method by using a random companion to cast the scroll, and then using storm and draconic sorcerer Tav/Durge and it consistently worked to give my sorcerer the "spellshite" line. All of this was done in the cellar, before going through the mirror.

Example of what does not work:

using storm or draconic sorcerer Tav to cast the scroll and speak with shovel. -> The option to name shovel never appears. Can continue conversation about mirror/book.

trying to set shovel's name using another companion after 1st conversation with sorcerer; this will not work, her dialogue will repeat "talk to mirror" or "trust me beefy".

If you choose a different name for Shovel (like i tried many times): When you speak to "Basket/Fork" as sorcerer/wizard/warlock Tav, "Basket" will say "Another gobshite. What you want with Basket?" and this line will override the spellshite line, and it won't play. Repeat attempts to talk to "basket" will give "go on talk to mirror" line on loop, or the "see, tell you truth beefy" line on a loop. "Basket/Fork" will never say the spellshite line, unfortunately :(

*You can learn the scroll as a wizard, however this will add it to your wizard spellbook and will take up a prepared spell slot, and it will not get added to your common spellbook as a ritual spell. **but only the "Spellshite" line adds the summon quasit spell to your common spells as a ritual spell that does not take up a spell slot to cast.

Weekly post DD2 ending brainrot thought the difference between Winnie and Thorne afterwards - Winnie’s love for humans and her yearning to be one, as a part of her wish fulfilled (NG+cycle of Syl with pawns of failed Arisen, a chance for them to be human) by the Will of the world being in shambles after the ending, leaves her human. For Thorne a monster is how he always viewed himself, but at some point of willingly saving, aiding and sacrificing himself for the Arisen he came to truly believe that so long as he’s in control, he is no malevolent monster. Translating to a subconscious wish to be in control of the darkness of the dragonsplague.

I think a lot about Wrio allowing himself to indulge and gaining some weight as a way of healing, he went hungry for a long part of his life, but now he gets to be safer, to eat his fill and go to sleep with a full tummy. I also think of Neuvillete encouraging him to do it so, cherishing his softer body and rubbing his tummy, empty or full, which is great bcs Wrio not only lived starved of food but of affection too. I LOVE WG AND STUFFING AS HEALING, AND I LOVE WRIO. I CAN HEAL HIM FR (BY FEEDING HIM)

AHSJSHUS I LOVE THIS cherishing his softer body and rubbing his tummy <3333

i feel like so many canon profile bits and exchanges with him point to him being quite an indulgent character already; slacking off work, turning up his nose at the less desirable welfare meals, strolling around fontaine's patisseries, taking little tea breaks whenever the opportunity arises. as he deserves to!

given that he's said to be seen visiting bakeries while on duty in the overworld, i like to think he has a sweetooth :3 perhaps neuvillette often brings him pastries and cakes as gifts whenever he visits during work hours. he invites him to furina's famous tea parties whenever the chance makes itself available (one of which is sure to be hosted each time the warden has official business to discuss in the court of fontaine, no matter how trivial.) he is always delighted to see him treat himself, and wriothesley is just as happy to satisfy his sweet tooth on such a decadent feast; not only did he never think he would have the opportunity to live so luxuriously, but also because now he believes he deserves to do so, no longer holding back from his desires out of guilt and little self worth.

not only does he give in to his newfound large appetite, but neuvillette rather likes to indulge him too. he brings him out to restaurants and orders fine foods and wines - a gloved finger pointing out the dishes on the menu as he orders for the both of them. at furina's tea parties, he offers him another slice of cake or suggests which desserts to try next, even as wriothesley places a hand on the swell of his quickly filling stomach.

"kouign-amann pair quite well with ginger tea. i must say this batch has been baked long to perfection," he muses, delicately pushing a plate across the table to wriothesley, who is still making his way through the gâteau he insisted he try. "though if you are drinking something sweeter, i would suggest a few canelés, or this pear tarte tatin. what do you think, furina?"

"the red wine caramel is exquisite, wriothesley."

"these macarons from lucerne's, though, are truly delectable. they are still light and crisp from this morning."

"let me breathe first." wriothesley swallows, smiling fondly at his enthusiasm to see him eat well. (and, really, breathing may become slightly more challenging if he continues on like this.) "i haven't even finished the last few you so kindly bestowed upon me."

and ohhh the belly rubs,,, !!!!!!!

ofc i believe wriothesley is so weak for having his tummy rubbed in the first place - neuvillette's warm hands are the perfect balance of heavy and firm but gentle, and just feel so inexplicably nice - so when the deep circles he rubs into his belly are accompanied by the pleasurable feeling of being full of baked treats or a yummy dinner, he quite positively ascends to heaven. and when his lavish lifestyle inevitably fills him out and he amasses a few extra inches on his waistline, the iudex's hands on his newly senistive tummy send him out of this world entirely. falling asleep is a difficult thing for wriothesley, but under these circumstances - whether neuvillette is settling a meal in his stomach or simply providing affectionate rubs - he feels safe and cared for in his arms, and despite fighting it, sleep takes over him and he's snoring lightly into his boyfriend's shoulder. indulging is a fun little hobby, but having somebody to indulge with - somebody to pamper you - is much preferable.

(also consider - tummy kisses. neuvillette is absolutely over the moon when the soft cushioning of wriothesley's tummy means he can easily take it between his teeth, trailing little love bites over the gentle curve of his belly. or simply just pressing his lips to his warm middle in soft, adoring kisses, much to wriothesley's blissful delight.)

I’m probably late to the party on this one, but… I have come to the realization that you can give your companions both Wildheart Barbarian piercings AND Draconic Sorcerer scales.

That’s it.

I’m doing a bling-team playthrough.

Everyone’s getting 1 level of Sorcerer, 3 levels of Barbarian, and 8 levels of their canon class. May the gods have mercy on my soul.
