#rink plays baldur's gate

[obsoleteozymandias]

Matchup for @frostfall-matches

Thanks for doing a trade with me!! I’m so glad I got to write for you, and I can’t wait to see what you write for me!! Have a lovely day and hit me up if you ever want me to write some more for you :3!

== Twisted Wonderland & Baldur’s Gate 3 ==>

I match you up with…

Ace Trappola

Pre-relationship:

You and Ace are frenimies from the get-go. He taunts you and gets in your face, and you snap back with witty responses and sarcastic remarks. Ace knows he’s met his match, and he’s endlessly pleased that he has someone he can really annoy without them punching him. 

He also is fond of your straughtforwardness. He’s not the kind of guy to beat around the bush and play pretend, so he grows a begruding respect for you when you say how you feel without sugar-coating it. 

After the whole Riddle Overblot situation, during which you both tell Riddle off and Ace punches him in the face, you two have solidified your status as best friends and absolute meances to society. 

You’ll never have to worry about Ace invading your independence. He’s a pretty independent guy overall. He knows how to take care of himself, and knows when to give you space. 

For some reason I’ve always headcanoned Ace as being a hockey kinda guy (even if he plays basketball), and so I’d like to imagine you two are frequent visitors to the local ice rink, where you chase eachother around like fighting siblings. 

He’s always showing you his newest sleight-of-hand tricks and card games, and oftentimes has to drag you into being involved, but you have to admit…something about how nerdy his hobby is is pretty endearing. 

He’s also all for staying up late to play videogames with you! He’s always super competitive, but you’re able to knock him down a few pegs. 

(He won’t admit it, but he loves it when you do that.)

If you love encouraging your friend’s bad decisions, then BOY HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU! THIS BAD BOY IS FULL OF THEM! He’s always got at least one dumb/risky idea in his head, and while he’s not always pleased that you told him to do something that ends badly, he can’t deny how your laugh and smile make him smile too. 

Confession: 

Ace knew exactly when he fell for you, and it was during Riddle’s overblot fight. Since then, he’d been wondering whether or not to tell you. I imagine one day it just sort of…slips out. 

He didn’t mean to say it there and then, but he did, and he figures he might as well commit. 

And so he continues, expressing how he feels about you with a bright red flush on his face and a nervous yet relieved look in his eye. He’s ready - no matter what your answer is. 

Relationship:

Not much changes between you two before and after you start dating. Ace will absolutely cuddle with you, and likes it quite a bit when you lounge on him, but overall you two are just as chaotic as before. 

Ace would love to go on casual dates with you, like riding a blastcycle or going on car drives with music and just talking about life and your thoughts. It’s the time he values most in the world, and he loves seeing your smile as you laugh at the dumb jokes he makes. 

You’re his number 1 fan at basketball games, and his face always lights up whenever he sees you. 

Whenever you dye your hair a color, Ace actually dyes a strand of his hair the same color too! He passes it off as just a trend to outsiders, but anyone who knows you two knows the truth (and it’s so cute it’s revolting). 

Your rulebreaking attitude and relaxed nature means that anyone who gets in your way is bound for some trouble, and with Ace by your side, make it double.

I match you up with…

Shadowheart

Pre-relationship:

Early in your adventure, Shadowheart comes to know you as ‘the reliable but a little deranged one.’ She knows she can depend on you to keep a level head in emergency situations, but the way you encourage Astarion’s habits is mildly…concerning. 

It isn’t until the Tiefling Party when she cracks a joke at you, and finally it seems like you two just…connect! Her dad jokes make you cackle like nothing else, and soon you’re riffing off of one another. 

And you quickly realize that she can really keep up with you. Whether it’s teasing or sarcastic comments, she’s ready to fire back at you, always with a sardonic grin. 

She’s not the most athletic person, but she’s always there to grab the back of your shirt when you trip, or catch you when you fall. She may jokingly mock you about it, but she’s willing to do it if it means she gets to banter with you some more. 

That said, she is ABSOLUTELY the voice of reason between you two. Except for when her decisions lead to casualties due to her alignment, she’s normally the one to advocate for LESS chaos amidst the group. Most of all, she wants everyone to stay in tact, and so she’s hesitant to enable your chaos. 

But part of her loves to see your little grin whenever someone does something reckless, and likes the laughs you let out when you vanquish another foe. 

(It makes her heart flip). 

You two make a habit of going on walks together at the end of the day, perusing the local landscape as the sun sets (unless you’re in the underdark, I suppose). Shadowheart likes that you listen to her, and that you’re just as willing to tease her as you are to listen to her troubles. She knows you struggle to be vulnerable with her, but she doesn’t mind. She can see the way you care in your touches to her shoulder and the little flowers you give her that remind you of her. 

Despite her dedication to Shar, Shadowheart has a deep desire to be hopeful, so to speak. She WANTS something to believe in, and your optimism combined with realism makes her think she can trust you with that hope. 

Confession: 

Shadowheart doesn’t realize she loves you in a sudden way. It’s just that one day, on one of your walks, she realizes that she can’t wait for tomorrow. Or the day after that. And she comes to the conclusion that walking with you is her favorite part of the day. 

YOU’RE her favorite part of the day. 

She’s incredibly nervous as she decides she wants to tell you. It’s in Baldur’s Gate when she takes you out to a private dinner, and then she confesses to you. She’s giddy and undoubtedly nervous, but she also can barely contain herself. 

Relationship:

Once you begin dating, Shadowhheart really begins to let herself be known. She’s much more open about her silly, sometimes awful jokes, but she feels so free around you that it’s impossible to feel bad about them. She’s almost always smiling and laughing in your presence. 

Your evening walks don’t lessen, but now they take on a new context as you two walk hand-in-hand, appreciating not only the conversation, but the company too. 

On that note, Shadowheart likes that you’ve got so many passions. She wants to learn the languages you’ve learned and speak them too. She wants to try your favorite foods and help you bake. She wants to be part of your life and hobbies, as she feels that she didn’t get to have many growing up. 

In this way, you come to share many hobbies between the two of you!

She’s a big proponent of physical touch. She gives you gentle squeezes and kisses whenever you go off to do something dangerous, and scolding yet loving caresses when she tends to your wounds. She loves when you two sleep together, wrapped around one another in your shared tent. To her, waking up next to you is better than any promised reward from the gods. 

You two are bound to last through all the trials and tribulations of life. You fought monsters and the end of the world together: and you’ll stick together for as long as you can.

Hiii!!! If it isn't to much trouble may I have (male) baldurs gate matchup please. My pronouns are she/her. my Mbti type is infj-a/infj-t. I tend to be shy around new people but I can be somewhat loud with people who im close to. My height is 5'0. I would describe my aesthetic as girly/soft/cottegecore, lots of long dresses and skirts.

Im not very athletic and im not a big fan of sports but I love to go roller and ice skating. I also love to read books and to also cook and bake food. I also like to garden. I've been playing the violin for 7-ish years. I love animals and I'm planning on becoming a wildlife veterinarian, I'm in college as a biology major. I like to Watch nature/animal documentaries. I also like sweets.

Somethings I dislike are people who bend or ruin my books and people who speak over me when im trying to talk.I love music, I can listen to any genre and like it but my favorites are indie,bedroom pop and classic rock. My ideal relationship would be with someone who is loyal and supportive. sorry if i spelt anything wrong. Hope im not bothering you:)

I match you with...

GALE

○ Both of you are extremely intelligent. Not only does this help you relate to one another, but it keeps conversation alive and flowing. Between your books, his magic, your love of nature and everything in between, the two of you have the most magical of conversations

○ Gale's heart swells when you express yourself. Both in opening up to him and becoming loud, and when you finally feel safe to express your deepest of emotions. He knows you're an introverted thinker at times, so he feels loved and valued when you speak up.

○ You have a much more emotional nature than Gale, and he values how different your perspective can be. He goes to you for a second opinion often, in many things, and you often have insight he never would have come up with on his own.

○ Loyal and supportive are basically Gale's middle names when it comes to his partner. Literally the only thing this man sees in the word is you, and it shows. He's there behind you supporting you with everything he's got, physically and emotionally, and he's there to catch you when dissapoint occasionally comes your way

HEADCANONS:

○ Gale grants you a beautiful greenhouse room in his tower, all propelled by magic of his own. In return you, of your own volition, decide to grow magical plants for components for his experiments and spells. Gale is absolutely honored by this.

○ Slow burn! You're shy, and he's insecure. It takes both of you a long time to accept and realize that the other feels the same - despite everyone else trying to point it out to the both of you. Still, thay gives you all the more time to fall in love and open up more naturally.

○ Though the two of you are unofficial for a long time, when Gale finally works up the nerve to take you on your first official date, it's the most beautiful night. He takes you to a romantic spot and you find that he had spent all day conjuring a full ice rink and procuring skates - then trying to learn how to skate. He's still pretty bad at staying standing and you guys fall a few times, but it gives him and excuse to hold you while you skate. For support, of course.

○ Books? Books. Between your shared libraries you have every genre, and if there's anything you ever want for Gale is quick to add it to the shelves. Every book is in not pristine, bit well taken care of condition. We respect Books in this house, even if they eventually do become well loved.

[letsgofoletsgo]

I recently read a fic taking place in @/cymk8’s Ice Rink au, and it gave me an idea.

Rivera is a huge fan of a hockey team known as the Feywild Riders, a well known team around Baldur's Gate. Recently, at some point, he became inspired to try to learn to skate. He knew he was far too small to play hockey, but he figured that just attempting to ice skate would be a good learning experience if anything else. His attempts to do so don't go very well; that is, until a fellow tiefling approaches and asks if he needs help. After a moment, he recognizes her as Karlach, star player of the Avernus Wildfires. He's quite surprised to see her here alone, much less coming to the aid of some stranger. She tells him that she likes to practice by herself some days, just as a break from the stress of team practices. As they spend more time together, they become friends. As the two grow closer, Zariel, team owner of the Wildfires, inevitably catches wind. Even if Rivera's just a fan of the Riders, it doesn't make her any less indignant. She knew Karlach didn't want to stay on the team, and she didn't need some runt giving her ideas.
