STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING

sometimes i think about the cinematic notes for gale's act ii romance scene because:

"buried in the heart of gale's projection sits a dark orb. the player kisses the dark orb at the heart of gale."

"a singular shape, a divine being slowly spinning in the twilight air"

"your bodies and minds weave together in a masterpiece of intimacy."

"never have you felt such wonder, such love - as vast the universe itself."

Free space! Share anything from your companion!Tav au!

so. tara was supposed to be at camp at one point and have idle banter with gale:

edited to clarify: this appears to be cut content

act iii gale has got me feeling things

Astarion and Joyn'dr (Tav) sketch

so recently i found out that if you steal from tara's nest or are mean to her, she'll blink away and fireball you.

what i didn't know yet was that you can tell gale all about it:

pleasant, ignoring tara's bad behaviour

I'm obsessed with the party's last names guys

Karlach Cliffgate

Wyll Ravengard

Gale Dekarios

Astarion Ancunín

Shadowheart Hallowleaf

Amazing Showstopping Incredible

Aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you wanna go apeshit?

Yeah I guess the murder hobo Dark Urge run is cool or whatever but the good Dark Urge run is hilarious because is basically one of those “big city hot shot has accident, gets stuck in middle of nowhere, meets and connects with regular people, and learn to become a better person” stories. Like you’re basically Lightning McQueen in the Cars movie, if Lightning McQueen was the star player in murdering people

poor wyll

"Go."

— (Wyll)

.

couldn't stop thinking about his story. he was only 17. also thanks to wyll ive developed a fondness for painting satin and ruched fabric so there will probably be a lot more art of him in that

halsin’s pretty cool i guess

make a wish/he will live on with all the love

POV the last piece of your grand evil scheme walks into the room for the first time and they have ‘forehead’ tattooed on their forehead

apparently, if you recruit Karlach before meeting with Wyll, he comes to your camp and tries to attack her

but the whole family's like

don't touch our girl

they're so real for this

some men just look better bloody

I think people are not understanding that to get Astarion’s approval up you don’t have to be mean you just have to be chaotic. The man is a toddler let loose off his leash for the first time in 200 years he doesn’t care about being mean he cares about being funny

He’s so messy i love him

free

I tried reeallllly hard not to romance astarion for the billionth time I promise

the rest of my party suffered my indecision the entire time (sorry shadowheart <3)

This mental image has been haunting me all day

Astarion invented romance, he said so himself

when ur companions can’t jump as far as u
