I love my dads playstyle of Baldurs Gate, never talks to his companions, never goes to camp, didn't even know there's romance in the game, long rests only when theres no more spells left, explored the underdark before he did the goblin quest, called astarion someone "he wouldn't buy a car from"
Minthara spells it out for you, but really the line between your tragic companion that you’d do anything for and just another casualty, if a little unfortunate, is razor thin in Baldur’s Gate 3.
It could have one of the other Sharran, one of the other spawn, one of the other Githyanki that were scooped up by the nautiloid, that you then met and slowly befriended, peeling back their layers of trauma and abrasiveness.
And then it could be Lae’zel as just another enemy you kill when she tries to take the artifact back for Vlaakith, it could be Shadowheart as just another Sharran you strike down in the House of Grief, it could be Astarion as just another vampire spawn you’re considering sacrificing so that your tragic vampire friend can ascend.
The game doesn’t shame you for the number of people you kill in self defense or for a greater goal, it wouldn’t be a DnD game if it did, but it’s a vaguely alluded to horror of the setting: being an acceptable casualty to a hero is entirely situational.
all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.
So apparently some people new to Tumblr think a repost and a reblog are the same thing, so when they see creators asking for people to not repost, they're thinking the creators are saying to not reblog 😭
Y'all, a repost is when you copy/download the work and create a new post using the work making it seem as if it's yours. A reblog is you using a site provided feature to share the creator's post directly from the creator so that it's still credited to them and they still get all of the traction/notes from the work.
Please, reblog fics/art/etc. that you enjoy! Reblogging is not reposting! Creatives need support too, and reblogging is a way to do that!
Somewhere out there on a planet very far away is a civilization that has included our sun in a beloved constellation of some animal we couldn't dream up if we tried
i cannot emphasise enough how much you need to create something. anything. it doesn't matter if you suck. you don't need to monetise it, or make it your career. you can restart an old hobby; you can start from scratch. it doesn't matter. you just need to hold something and be able to say "i did that". baking, drawing, painting, writing, coding, crafts, whatever. make something ! you cannot have all your hobbies be a form of consumption. it's fun, it's great in its own right. but the single best action to make yourself feel better, to calm your mind, to gain self esteem, is to Create
