I Want To Live (Life and Death)
he probably says shit in his sleep and then has at least one apnea episode
What could Gale do to get back at Astarion? I have an idea, but its always fun to read your ideas n tags <3
I feel like at some point during the early stages of Staeve and Astarion's relationship, Stave acted out this classic;
Wyll: Just tell him, "You're beautiful."
Staeve: Good idea, thanks.
Later-
Staeve: [to Asatarion] I'm beautiful.

weird thing to fixate on but the way you did the astral prism is SO good
it's so shape
like it is very simple, but gets across its shape really well
Thought of this pun and had to turn it into a sticker design.... should I do the other companions? 👀
MYSTRA GO DIE IN A DITCH AND LEAVE MY HUSBAND ALONE HE'S SNESITIVE
mystra a big purple bitch, pass it on
Day 3 on tumblr it’s time to post something controversial. I’m Gale of Waterdeep’s biggest hater. It’s just something about the way that he is that makes me wish violence upon him. I wish I’d smacked his hand and left him in the portal the first time I met him. This is a hill I’ll die on
Been playing bg3 again and enjoying them mods!
Because of all that I finally got around to draw my drow Tarlin (Tavlyn depending on which campaign I'm playing cause I keep making new campaigns and they're all just him)
Tarlin was born in the underdark in Menzoberranzan to a lower Lolth priestess and her pleasure slave, a Seldarine drow named Ristal. He was destined to be a lolth priestess as well, but as an Eilistraee worshipper, Ristal couldn't handle having his youngest being a pawn for the spider queen. So he abducted him while he was only a couple months old and ran to the surface, ending up in Luskan.
While on the surface Ristal fell in love with a half elf who instantly took the role of Tarlins mother. Everything was great until about 6 years in when Ristal disappeared and a odd fringe group of Sune worshippers kidnapped Tarlin.
Tarlins life is a blur after that, living in a cult until his late teens, losing his best friend(who is turned into a vampire), then escaping and wondering Faerun in search of said friend, his mother and father.
He finds his friend in his early 40s shortly before the events of Bg3.
(in traditional vampire fan fashion) Tarlin and Astarion become partners.
In whatever ending the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking, Tarlin ends up being turned into a vampire by his friend during childbirth. He has a daughter with Astarion, Alena, a dhampir.
Little tidbits:
Tarlins left eye is marked with a Sune blessing, the red gets more vibrant when Tarlin develops genuine feelings for someone (the only someone is Astarion). The mark will turn black and his left eye goes blind when he is heartbroken, only happens in a heartbreaking ending.
Tarlin is an Eilistraee worshipper, so he has her old symbol tattooed on his left arm. He has 2 star tattoos on his chest because they are the first thing he remembers seeing when he and his father left the underdark.
Tarlin has piercings, nearly everywhere. He takes out his facial piercings during the events of bg3, cause being punched in the face hurts with them in, and obviously, he fights more, and he can't deal with that bs.
I'm gonna post some screenshots of everyone soon cause I spent 3 hours just designing what everyone in his family looks like.
YO!
So I'm looking into elf stuff for my next campaign, and I found something interesting. If someone already found this or wrote about it, just ignore me, lol
For everyone who has discussed, "Why does Astarion remember Sebastián but not his own eye color?" HERE'S PROBABLY WHY!
To start with elfs are "children" until they are 50 years old or so. During this time their memories are kinda iffy, just like how when you think about your childhood it's kinda foggy.
NOW TO THE POINT!
Astarion was turned at 39, so he is still a "child" in elf culture (They're not considered adults until they're 100 btw), so he would have that same early memory fog, and that's why he can't remember what he looked like.
As for him remembering Sebastian, when they met, Astarion was 69 *noice* so he should be out of the "child" phase, and his memories are more permanent in away.
tl;dr
Astarion had the elven equivalent of human "baby" memory brain when he was turned, but when he met Sebastian, he was more memory brain stable.
Elves are fickle creatures, and in Dnd feel even more so.
Here's a link where I got my elf info ENJOY
i have been exclusively playing Baldur's Gate for the past few weeks and i'm having a great time.
Halsin doodles xD
Heres the reference for the first one
My current tav :D They’re a dhampir bard (college of valor) and its still early enough that i may multiclass. They are an absolute gremlin and should be turned into goo
My first Tav by the end of the game. I love them dearly. Gonna try and get to the epilogue at some point since I couldn’t cause of mods. They do go to the Underdark with Astarion to lead the other vampire spawn. They have a very soft relationship. Also they are a fucking dumbass even though they have a 14 int stat.
This is them at the beginning of the journey.
Current character I am playing as in BG3. They are a Paladin of Devotion and trying to resist The Dark Urge. They are hot but incredibly stupid and I love them for it. They have no idea what is going on 90% percent of the time and it’s wonderful.
BG3 GOTY LETS GOOO
Everyone at Larian and who was involved with the game deserves this win so much.
Elysian Fields
Inspired by ‘Elysian Fields’ by The Mechanisms
“The Elysian Fields, also called Elysium, are the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous [in Greek mythology and religion].”
Gale got Incubus Charm-ed by Harleep, and he has a lot of good, dangerous spells, so I was understandably worried.
It gets to his turn, when everyone is standing pretty close together. He has fireball and ice storm, and is pretty set against us.
Instead of using those deadly spells, he decides, still working against the rest of the party, that he will cast globe of invulnerability, not on Harleep, but himself and Astarion, chug a potion of Glorious Vaulting, and then run away from the globe.
I just…. I choose to believe that his love for his friends and Tav (romance) stopped him from hurting them, and not just because he would be expending a high level spell slot.
Nothing in this game has upset me more than not being able to turn Cazador into a sheep and knock him off the edge anymore.
* In conversation with Wyll about his plans once the Brain is defeated *
Tav: there’s more to your plans than you’re letting on, isn’t there?
Wyll: Yes, there is. I will be hunting Mizora.
Mizora, standing next to him: …
