#same with astarion kinda…

[jerichoes]

i don’t understand how people get super duper parasocial with va’s cause i’m like, the hard opposite. the less i know the better. if i could avoid knowing what they look like, i would. i Do Not Wish to Know. oh you went through their ig and twitter follows immediately after they were announced cause you Need to Know? couldn’t be me. leave me alone.

In my mind palace my tav and Astarion are playing the exact same game of 5D chess and they don't realize it yet

Baldurs gate 3 is very funny in that it brings together a group of people who under most circumstances would consider themselves a found family but just so happens to have populated the group with soley people who would be vehemently against calling it that

MY HAGS

[gale-dekarios]

im not saying all of my posts are bangers, but its hard not to notice that posts i make about other companions easily break 100 notes no sweat, with the upper limit breaching 1k, to outliers of well over 4k, but whenever it's about wyll, it's crickets. i dunno, youre allowed to interact with anything you want to, and this isnt a call to reblog from me, specifically, this is the same for a lot of wyll orientated posts ive seen, but its just odd. and by odd i mean racist.

Will we be seeing more astarion drawings soon? thank you for your work!

Yes, you will most definitely be seeing more Astarion stuff soon!

I'm busy with a bunch of projects and personal stuff atm though, but I've been trying to finish up a polaroid-style piece of Astarion on the side, it's just taking a lot longer to finish than I thought it would 😭 (plus I really cannot decide if I should cover him in blood or not lmao)

Thank you so much for asking though, I'm so so glad you like my Astarion stuff! ❤️

Love playing my fantasy games, living my best life with my dog, who joined me because his previous owner died.

Traveling with my companions; the long-haired wizard who misses his cat and has a piece of all-consuming magic stuck within him.

And the broody, white-haired elf, with painful markings on his skin, who’s tasting freedom for the first time after living a lifetime as a slave to an evil lord. ❤️❤️❤️

I honestly love how easy it is to cheese the Gauntlet of Shar, and all while working completely within the system of both the game, and the faith itself.

Like, the "cheating" solutions fit so perfectly into Sharran teachings that I'm pretty sure that's what you're meant to do, honestly. Sure, you can brute-force it by playing by the presumed (never explicitly stated!) rules, but in the domain of a faith the main point of which is secrecy and deception, completing the trials easily by skewing the rules but without violating any explicit ones and avoiding all penalties is what sounds to me like what would actually be befitting of a Dark Justiciar's thinking.

The Self-Same trial is defeated by being somewhat cautious, and just sneaking in through the door until you spot them. In one surprise round, you can quite literally vaporize all of the shadow clones without them ever getting to lay a hand on you. They are very easily defeated in one or two rounds just by a counter-ambush. That's perfectly logical, strategic thinking that's totally within the rules.

The Soft-Step trial, literally all it needs is for you to get one character to lockpick the door and waltz in, and you can have them stand next to the altar as someone on the other side activates it. You don't even need to sneak, you just have to think slightly outside the box and take what you want, which is literally written on the wall of the inner chamber, as part of Shar's wisdom.

But the Faith-Leap trial might be my favorite, because on top of any jump-enhancing technique making an utter joke of it, it's also literally defeated just by Shadowheart being Shadowheart. Like literally her base strength is high enough that she doesn't need the paths, she can just leap from platform to platform, and end up on the other side without ever needing to wade into the darkness. Her being her is the greatest folly to Shar's trial, which is just... so thematically fitting.

Shar ain't got shit on us.

I forgot how often in Acts I and II that I was shouting “babe, just let me COOK” at Astarion

[coccoart]

people who are love durge because they try their best to control/cope with their urges better be kind to people with bfrbs/ocd/impulse conditions real quick

[selunesfavouriteprincess]

it never gets any less funny every time the tiefling party happens and every single one of the companions looks you in the eyes and tells you that they desire you carnally

[fabledteeth]

shes my little pookie bear. the specialest pretty princess in the world

[j-esbian]

no but like. why can’t i talk to wyll about anything. i can’t even ask him how and why he met mizora lmfao hello???? can i get a basic explanation of his backstory?????? you can ask astarion how he became a vampire and karlach how she ended up in the blood war and gale how he started pondering the orb

even if he just deflects like he did when i asked about his eye, bc im sure it won’t Actually be revealed until i try to get him out of the pact but it should still be an option???
