one reason i think this is because i have a headcanon that jasmine is actually really protective of the performers in eve's garden and is the first one that'll physically get between anyone trying to do non-consentual things with the dancers. jasmine as the protective friend, who looks out for the others and will beat the ass of anyone trying to harm them lives rent free in my head.

i've also been thinking about changing jasmine's fc from mamie van doren to anita ekberg since i feel physically they match better as i'm thinking of having her be larger in stature....

"Cohen must be jealous of your talent."

She tosses her silvery blonde hair, a frigid flash of blue that excites as well as chills. A nerve struck. Her smile is brilliant and blazing, tight-lipped, heart-shaped pink, pearly cheeks, a porcelain doll that gleams and shines and plays her part so well it's as natural as breathing at this point. No one would be the wiser to the burning resentment the comment brought on, the searing 'why, why, why' that bore holes in her mind night after night despite drowning in a sea of whatever expensive liquors she could get her hands on.

" Must he. . . ? " She chirps like a plumed bird in a golden cage, a quirk of her head in response to his initial statement as if uncertain just how exactly to reply. The starlet doesn't think anything bad. The starlet is a good girl. The starlet smiles and glows and makes everyone feel wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Who would dare. . . ? She demands to herself, yet she's surprised she hasn't heard it before. Mostly things people keep behind their backs, in hushed corners away from her. And what is it to him. . . ? She almost wonders aloud, a concentrated stare of cool blue that could penetrate right through if anyone was paying attention. The golden blonde doll, the object of Rapture's desires, belonging to everyone, sought and hungered for like by wild dogs who snarl for nourishment.

A lotta wolves. . . She teeters this thought before giving her primed, glorious reply, the icy emotion dissolving within her as easily as frost in a spring sun.

" Mr. Cohen is a. . . great talent. I admire him, you know. We've worked together for some time, even up topside. . . "

I wish I could come up with a good build for Jas in BG3 I'm trying to think of themes of her character to go off of to make it a little easier. I want to give her the entertainer background because I see her as apart of a traveling group of performers, maybe bouncing around doing some solo stuff, maintaining her dancer's origins but putting more emphasis on her acting because my headcanon is that was what she really wanted to do. Fame and money to her meant safety and love, and she is willing to go to great lengths to achieve that.

I see her as a magic user, but I'm not sure which class to give her. I was thinking of multiclassing her as a bard/sorcerer but IDK if that feels right... She's not so much a musician as a dancer/actor, not a spectacular singer (she's no Idina Menzel or anything lol) but she is a nice looking lady who probably would've garnered a good crowd accompanying a musician.

There are mods on console now, too, and I wanna go through and add some. One I added was a new "Witch" class, which (lol) sounds really cool! Just thinking. I would enjoy some suggestions if anyone has any.

Maybe if I come up with a background for her first in the world, it'll make selecting all the details easier... Hm......

With no pertinence to anyone on my dash or mutuals, but I can’t stop thinking about this:

You do not owe anyone an explanation of your physical, mental, or emotional health status on this website.

Nobody owes you an explanation of their physical, mental, or emotional health status on this website.

It seems a space has been curated in the rpc where people feel comfortable enough to share this information of their own volition (which is great) but it is becoming a problem where it’s now an expectation. It isn’t. If someone offers this information willingly that is their choice.

Nobody has a right to demand to know what someone’s health issues are or an explanation of why they have it, how they are managing it, and how it might affect them. If someone chooses to offer this information you are lucky to know it. But you are not a medical healthcare professional, and even if you are you are not THEIR medical healthcare professional.

There’s not a single thing you NEED to share about yourself in this community, and anything you do is up to each individual.

Please don’t forget this. Do not demand to know someone’s health issues.
