MCtober 2024: Week 2, Best friend

Between all of her friends, Katlin got closer the most with Sebastian and she thrusted him as her best friend, despite the facts happening during the fifth year. They share the same passion for knowledge, exploration and duels, but don't quite agree on where is the line to not cross or when one's going too far. She find his company both comforting and stimulating, laughing and feeling the best version of herself when he's around. Though she can't deny to be the one to worry and look out for him (and in her mind, it feels as if she is keeping a dog at its leash 😅).

I'm a big "William is shorter than Samuel" believer and I don't even necessarily think there's much in canon that disproves this. Like I'll probably line up their height charts in their beta character sheets eventually just to make sure but I'm like, 90% sure it's plausible. This is entirely because I think their dynamic together is way funnier if Samuel has like, an inch on him. Realistically I think they and Murdoch are all within the same height range, with Cliff being a good bit shorter and Nik being a good bit taller, I just like the idea of Sam being the second tallest vibe wise and I don't even really know how to describe why. I bring this all up entirely because I notice a lot of people like to make will like, tower over Samuel in fanart and I get the thought process on it, but i feel like not enough people have considered how much funnier they are together when you introduce a little bit of a napoleon complex to their relationship lmao

all those little details

---

There are so many things he loves about her. Her energy, her passion. How she is always willing to fight for the things she believes in. Her optimism, and how she never backs down. How her body feels against his, her skin on his. The way she moves. Her smile, always involving her whole face somehow. But most of all the small things. All those little details. The way her nose starts to wiggle when she laughs really hard. That dimple on her right cheek. The little gap between her front teeth. How she gets that little wrinkle between her eyebrows when she's concentrating. The way she unconsciously starts to move her hand mimicking the chords when she hears a new song with a great guitar line. Seeing her being really proud when she masters a difficult solo. How she knows the coffee order of all the people she cares about, and never forgets a birthday, even though she's so bad with all other dates and appointments. How her thrift store shopping trips always end with more things for other people than herself, because she simply can't walk past a book or trinket or shirt she knows one of her friends would love. The way her eyes light up when some food is really good. The way she enjoys things with her whole being, just lets go and takes them in, be it music, food, or sex. All those sensitive spots on her body, all those little imperfections, every scar and stretch mark. The little stick-and-poke tattoos she gave herself in her teens, hidden away and barely visible, her only tattoos that really have meaning. The way she blushes briefly, just a little bit, when he compliments her, before she rolls her eyes at him and laughs and plays it off with some sassy remark. The way she kisses him. Like she means it, every time. How she murmurs that she loves him, barely audible, face buried against his chest, when she is about to fall asleep.

"What are you staring at, old man?" Mika gives him that typical mischievous grin and straddles his lap. Gabriel chuckles and wraps his arms around her, pulling her closer. "Nothing. Nothing at all." "I can take off my shirt and give you something nice to stare at," she suggests, wiggling her eyebrows at him. He gently caresses her face. "I love you." Rolling her eyes at him and laughing, Mika pulls him into a long kiss. "Corny old man," she murmurs softly against his lips, in that typical way of hers. It's one of those little details he loves about her.

The whole biting tic makes me wonder, where does Tac tend to bite? He has pretty wild teeth, does he bite himself hard? I hope it's not painful! Also,,,, has he ever accidentally bitten his brother bc of a tic, since he's not that used to suppressing?

Tac: They're not always bad enough ta leave scars, but at tha least, th' ones that do are definitely painful, but nothing I can't handle.

An' yeah. One time Boss was yellin' at me 'n' he put his finger in my face, an' it triggered a tic.

Since then he knows ta watch his hand gettin' too close ta my mouth, an' he's quick ta pull it away if I do snap at it.

so clapping when the plane lands is white culture (though id argue its white american culture bc europeans are far too bitter and antisocial to do something soppy like that) but I'll do you one better. once when I flew from the US to mexico it was full of americans on their tacky resort honeymoons and the captain decided to announce the wedding of two of the passengers so that everyone could clap and congratulate them. that was bad enough but a few minutes later they announceed ANOTHER couple who had obviously gone up to the stewardess to ask to be announced as well. like can u get any cornier??? and if THAT wasn't bad enough a few minutes later ANOTHER COUPLE WAS ANNOUNCED

Hello there! I've been wanting to replay the older Baldur's Gate games, and was searching around for mlm NPC romance mods. I saw yours mentioned and found your site with some googling, but it seems the place they were hosted at is gone now (Spellhold Studios). I was wondering if you still have the mods available somewhere? Either way, I hope you have a great day!

OK, this has made go down a modding-community rabbit hole! I hadn't done anything with our Baldur's Gate 2 mods, or looked at them really, since 2015 and I really appreciate it because they're something that brought my wife and I a ton of joy, and they were the first interactive narratives I made.

Links, descriptions, and comments below because it is Long:

I got in touch with folks on the Gibberlings3 forum which is, wonderfully, still going strong, and have given permission for Faren and Nathaniel to be uploaded to the Spellhold Studios GitHub (which has a bunch of other mods too - do check out Adrian, Isra, and Ninde in particular!) to the team maintaining it. That may be a little while as some of the team are ill right now, but once I hear that it's done, I'll post about it here; I've also been pointed to some links where the mods were mirrored. Note that I haven't tested these myself on a current BG2 install, but it is easy to uninstall WeiDU mods if there's a problem.

Faren is a bisexual True Neutral fighter/thief (I can't remember if he's dual-classed or multi-classed) who's easygoing, down-to-earth, and up for partying, with a bit of a checkered past - his adventuring party died in one of the dungeons you can visit in BG2, and since then he's been picking up dodgy jobs, feeling a bit adrift, and trying to get his life back on track. That's where the PC comes in! You can befriend him or romance him (starting with either a casual or more committed tone, then committing further if you want to), and he has a personal quest in which a shady figure from his past wants him to do one last job. He was our third mod, and we'd developed our skills with writing and scope a lot by then. When I play BG2, I play with Faren! You can currently download Faren here. It's the version updated in 2015 with more banters with modded NPCs and the Enhanced Edition characters; there may be compatibility issues installing it with other newer mods but do give it a try.

I found The Luxley Family, which was our second mod, on the GitHub here. From a cursory (rusty) glance it looks like it should be compatible with Enhanced Edition, but the storyline is only for Shadows of Amn and doesn't continue into Throne of Bhaal. Sebastian and Andrei (Chaotic Neutral bard with a custom kit and Lawful Neutral monk respectively) are members of a mysterious, reclusive family who are under a curse. Sebastian's a worldly playwright who's showing his polite but moody teenage cousin Andrei the sights when they bump into the PC. They aren't romanceable, but you can have a fling with Sebastian, who's bisexual, if you let/help him mess up his life sufficiently.

Nathaniel is a Lawful Good gay fighter with a lot of feelings. He was our first mod and I am really proud of the impact he had on a lot of people and even other games back in the day, but if you play, go in expecting a LOT of feelings good and bad, relationship drama, and angst! (There's something very sad about the fact that as teens we could not imagine a D&D setting without homophobia back then; the idea of a knightly order thinking well of gay people just didn't cross our minds. it's extraordinary how much better a lot of things are now, including the queerness in D&D streams, books, and of course Baldur's Gate 3. Interestingly, we didn't include homophobia in the Luxley Family or Faren and I don't remember how conscious that was; maybe we'd become more hopeful by then.) You can download an outdated version of Nathaniel here but I don't think it will be compatible with Enhanced Edition.

Thank you so much for messaging! I didn't realise they weren't able to be downloaded anymore and I am really keen for digital art to be preserved (as well as players getting to smooch hot guys, of course).

(Digression - my wife and I have a couple of almost-finished mods on our computer: a lesbian cleric of Talos which she wrote, and a bi Valygar romance that I wrote. And, if it's among two computers' ago worth of external hard drive storage, the ending for the Luxley Family story. Who knows, maybe one day...)
