#tadpolycule WHEN

[gothyanki]

That time I was still dithering between Karlach and Lae'zel as Vin's canon romance option and then... A SURPRISE CONTENDER APPEARED in the form of Wyllyam (surprising in that while they were bezzie mates, they hadn't had any romantic interaction up to that point). Look at themmmm! Rude of Vin to be compatible with so many people, honestly.

don't get me started on the matching/mirrored cheek scars I will SHOUT

> pull her into a hug

I write about naadja being poly and her relationships in that but like, not so much anyone else because Naadja is obviously the lens through which i view my mindmap of the fanon.

Yes i ship character x character. I ship my other ocs with different characters as well. Its moreso a passing thought that i have cataloged in my mind. The tadpolycule is expansive and complex so i don't even bother to explain it entirely. In my mind its pretty organic, the characters have preferences and dislikes about other characters.

I just kinda roll with it though. I don't want it to seem like Naadja is the only person benefitting from that lol i just only have so much to say on it

I do also fully believe her messy complicated relationships suit her character and a lot of the canon lines about those sorts of apprehensions (like Minthara’s line about not sharing or Astarion's feelings on tav sleeping with someone else) would either not come up at all or would be worded very differently based on her story.

Id love to get into what that'd actually be like but it's a hard thing to explain. Which also seems like a cop out bc well, yeah im not super interested in fine tuning relationships so things fit nice and easy. Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes there's still resentment, and thats something to grapple with. But i don't necessarily have to when im just having fun.

I just want you to know, every time you post / answer an ask about bottom Halsin I get the inspiration to write down another idea for a fic. its like you're my muse! specifically for writing about Halsin being a sloppy pig bottom, I mean

I WILL TAKE THAT DUTY SERIOUSLY TBH. I want to be the fandom bottom Halsin inspire-r.

Assorted bottom Halsin ideas, free to a good home:

Omega Halsin as the recipient of a loving, tender gangbang when he goes into heat at the epilogue party

(Smut and angst) Halsin agreeing to play Haarlep's little game for the party because he thinks, if he loses, that it won't be as big a deal for him as the others; after all, he likes sex far more than them, so it can't hurt him, right?

Araj Oblodra tests a custom potion on Halsin. Unfortunately, it acts as an aphrodisiac(/heat inducer if omegaverse). With possible Astarion guilt since he didn't let her feed on him.

The tadpolycule making a game out of things; who can make him cum fastest just by fucking him, who can make him moan loudest, etc

Halsin using Alter Self, a reduce spell, or what have you to become Smol for once, and getting to subsequently enjoy being manhandled by his partner(s).

Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3

Pairing: Astarion/Wyll/Gale/Lae'zel/Shadowheart/Karlach/Halsin tadpolycule

Warnings: Consent issues of the Act 1-Astarion-is-himself variety, with a side of everyone doing their best to accommodate him even when he is bad at communicating

Excerpt:

"I believe we have something to discuss," says Halsin at last.

"Desires, is it?" says Astarion, lightly. "I'd have thought we had this one well and truly settled, darling."

"Some of us did," says Shadowheart, tone very dry and very flat. She's peering at him from around Karlach's shoulder – has the same sort of unblinking intensity to her stare that Lae'zel does. Astarion wonders, idly, what she would say if he pointed that out.

"And some of us," Lae'zel rasps, as Halsin hands her a portion of breakfast, "did not."

Astarion's gaze flickers around the circle. He discovers, to his horror, that that they're all watching him, now.

idk list of my bg3 ships (i mean I'm a tadpolycule cursed eightsome truther and I like basically every combination but like these are my specific pairings)

Wyll/Karlach — Wyll Ravengard the man that you are, walking hand in hand into hell with the woman you were supposed to kill

Shadowheart/Lae'zel — classic toxic yuri. they immediately want to rip each other's throats so naturally they should fuck. but also the story parallels what with the whole I devoted my life to this goddess who never cared about me, my entire world and sense of reality has been turned upside down. let's fuck about it. also like Lae’zel finds out Vlaakith is a fraud before Shadowheart finds out about Shar and for a few weeks of their journey Shadowheart is like “haha at least my goddess is real—shit nvm”

Halsin/Shadowheart — as much as Halsin sasses the hell out of shart while she's still sharpilled justiciarmaxxer, he's so so proud of her when she resists Shar. also if Larian weren't cowards they would be were4were

Shadowheart/Isobel/Aylin — sometimes you need a good threesome before you fully commit yourself to a new religion

Shadowheart/Karlach — shart is just. really fucking thirsty when you meet Karlach

Karlach/Halsin — you know what's better than one big bisexual beefcake? but also Halsin trying to be the healer that Karlach needs and the angst where he can't heal her

Wyll/Halsin — “thick hunk of an elf” Wyll is there something you’d like to share with the class. also pov you’re Duke Ravengard and your only heir left to live on a hippie commune

Karlach/Minthara — good girl with big weapon x evil girl with big weapon. and she can follow Karlach to Avernus??

Wyll/Astarion — monster x monther hunter, literally straight out of a vampire romance. and Wyll canonically reads bad smut you know he’d be so down for a vampire boyfriend. let’s be real they would be in the top 3 ships on ao3 if Wyll was white

Shadowheart/Nocturne — we all know they smooched in that little hidden spot with the orchids

Gale/Rolan — you know what's better than one autistic rizzard? they tried to have sex but in the middle of undressing they got distracted talking about magic and oh would you look at that it's morning already

Gale/Raphael — the girls are fightingggg over the crown. I only like god!Gale in the context of god/devil hatesex

Astarion/Sebastian — ok listen we only got to know Sebastian for like five minutes but those five minutes hurt

Halsin/Minth— *Larian sniper takes aim towards me*

60% of the reason the tadpolycule falls in love with ripley is because she stays up all night to run ahead with a pitchfork to set up the "fork in the road" bit for when she's singing "movin' right along" for their morning walk

20% of what endears halsin to ripley is the fact that he 100% unplanned does the Kermit deadpan "Oh, I don't believe that." response to seeing a literal fork in the road when she gets there, beating her to it

meanwhile the Ripley/Gortash relationship is unfortunately built almost entirely on trusting one another not to misuse their terrible traumas against each other

[gothyanki]

FUCK I just realised Vin/Wyll's shipname WOULD be "Win"

[autistichalsin]

I’m still thinking about free use maid Halsin. I feel very strongly that he should be getting fucked by several different people. that way when he begs to be bred there’s plenty of people to fill him up with cum. maybe they can even say that they’ll put the plug back in after, to keep it in, help him get pregnant. I wonder if he’d beg for relief or for them to do it…

DEFINITELY the entire tadpolycule, that's for sure!

Oooh, excellent question. Maybe they lie a bit and tell him that being edged a while longer will help him get pregnant and he's so deep in subspace he doesn't question it. :D

Pairing: Astarion/Wyll/Gale/Lae'zel/Shadowheart/Karlach/Halsin tadpolycule

Warnings: Consent issues of the Act 1-Astarion-is-himself variety, with a side of everyone doing their best to accommodate him even when he is bad at communicating

Excerpt:

He's a pretty face and a charming smile – a set of clever fingers and a very talented mouth.

He's an actor on a stage, accustomed to playing his part so that he can end an evening with something in his belly, instead of screaming until his voice gives out.

And so Astarion misses all the signs, for a time. He isn't used to taking the same lover more than once – doesn't know to watch for it.

But the changes filter in gradually all the same, whether he's looking for them or not.
