Companions reaction to Modern!Tav who is a metalhead
I'll just indulge myself I guess.
Karlach:
Loves it the second she hears it
Hypes her up more than soul coins and that ain't even funny
She'll ask about your fav bands (mine is Avatar so hello if there's any fellow fan!)
Also how concerts looks like
"Ha! So there's a bit of barbarian inside of you!" is the line you get when you explain mosh pit to her
When her engine is cooled down you're not escaping two people mosh, trust me
Amused how you faced judgement yourself and been called a devil
You explain it gave you a need to defend the tieflings
You just simply knew how it feels
Besties forever no matter what
You rock out to heavier stuff like Rammstein or anything that can be headbanged to
"Soldier, if you can do it the whole evening then you're tougher thant I gave you credit for"
When you first use your growling scream during the battle that girl is deeply impressed
Even more if you actually managed to rage
Gale
Finds music a bit loud and chaotic at first
You immediately give him power metal and that shit gets him
Like fantasy stories told through the music? Pure bard experience
A bit skeptical about mosh pit, but when he hears how great it feels to you he understands or does his best to try to
Also sees a bit of barbarian in you after that
When he mentions that the best artists started among the sticky floors you're stoked because that's how the venue after the concerts feels like
You tell him about the undergrund concerts right away and promise him you'll take him to one just for the sake of the experience itself
In time he gets to like bands like Twilight Force and Blind Guardian
Also goes "wow" when you yell like an animal (he's getting horny at the post-battle Tav so)
Astarion
"Ugh, what's that noise?"
You do your best to explain but he just doesn't buy that
When you explain the usual activities occuring during the shows he also jumps on the bandwagon that you're secretly a barbarian
Or maybe bardbarian if you happen to have a band
You seek something lighter and EUREKA
Queen
You put on Bohemian Rhapsody the other evening and he's stoked
Other hits from them come to his liking too
He'll occasionally hum these tunes to himself
Gale overheard Queen playing at the camp and now he's obsessed too
Shadowheart
This one's easy
She's already an emo queen so
Buuut
Powerwolf becomes her favorite because of the religious themes of the songs and the fact they sound like battle hymns
You don't tell her Powerwolf mocks the most widely practiced religion so she doesn't send a guilding bolt on you she'd miss anyway
Falls in love with symphonic metal too because of the lyrics and vocals
When Gale mentions the sticky floor her usual comment switches to "Then you and Tav will get along perfectly well in the middle of the mosh pit"
Secretly wishes she could just leave everything and do that for an evening
Lae'zel
"Bah, another unwise custom. Impractical too"
She goes like that unless you tell her what mosh pit and headbanging are
Still thinks it's not the wisest way to spend time but applauds your ability to fuck everything and survive in the horde of people running into each other (usually way bigger than you)
Believes you can use that rage and stamina in battle, satisfied when you actually do that
Won't show you she's vibing to any music you like but she'll stop sharpening her sword when she hears Sabaton
Wyll
Definitely curious about the unusual music he hears
Even if he finds it noisy at first will pay attention to the layers of music and lyrics too
You comfort him by telling stories from the times you were told you're the devil just because of the music you listen to
Tbh he also likes Sabaton, because it honors the heroes as it should happen
Mosh pit? Headbanging? In his eyes you're really tough now
Also thinks you'd make an excellent barbarian
When you actually rage he's both terrified and impressed in your primal growl
Karlach will have to teach him how to mosh and not poke someone's eye out, but you'll manage
Halsin
He prefers calmer music, but at the same time he's curious
You give him folk metal and all is good
Especially if you put on some acoustic album
You tell him stories tied to the songs (like f.x. Eluveitie has songs about the helvets)
For him you're small but when you tell him how you regularly go into mosh pit with guys his size and you are not scared he's concerned he may call you a lunatic again
Since then he sees you as small but fierce and resillent
He's not a barbarian but seeing you unleash your primal nature through growl - he himself has a wild side so for a moment he admires you and then joins you in his bear form
He's an elf so I bet he can play a flute, he'll learn some folk songs in no time. If not, Jaheira does.
