I don't know what this is all I know is that LimL Joel makes me really emotional

#I know he has a tendency to go deranged on his red lives but idk something about him beginning to lose it after Jimmy died and killing Grian #joel smallishbeans #smallishbeans fanart #trafficblr #Again its his red life shenanigans but... If only Jimmy had known how affected someone was by his death. I'm choosing to believe this #and him then going out like a sad pathetic wet cat even with Grian's sacrifice... He really deserves a win one of these days lmao please #Also I cant stop thinking about how Jimmy wouldn't have left him. Grian was sensible to and most players probs would have #Joel really does become a lost cause so its fair and Grian did still care (and went to say goodbye as well as sacrifice his time for him) #But Jimmy would have stuck by even if Joel were in this state (and they'd both get themselves killed pathetically but) #And Joel having shown such genuine care for Jimmy and concern over his limited time... man anything w Jimmy makes me so emotional lol #I love them so #oh Ig about the art itself. I dont like it but hey thats how it tends to go when you try smth new. And no shame in trying #but if one person likes this then yayy I will still feel accomplished and happy #Im looking at this again and hey its not that bad actually yay I love to approve of my own art. self love hell yea #tubby art

dark justiciar shadowheart is genuinely so interesting to me as like... a facet to her character. like it really hammers home how desperate she is for shar's love and affection (+ the validation and love from other worshipers of shar). like in a lot of ways I get that it seems shocking to others / some fans because it really does contradict some of the morals we see her express BUT imo that just speaks to the level of desperation she feels. her comments on how shar "must" love her for her to survive the shadowcursed lands, or the bit where she talks about shar nurturing her and loving her and sounds... almost more like shes trying to convince herself more than shes trying to convince you. theres a bit about other sharrans not thinking she had earned her name, and of course the mother superior not thinking she was ready / worthy of being a dark justiciar. like shes just so completely desperate to feel unconditionally and securely loved, and to earn the approval of others that shes entirely willing to injure herself in the process (as well as.... the people who actually love her, of course).

not to mention that mechanically, afaik, she can only end up there if shes encouraged to by the player. ie... she needs to know someone else approves.

#CHEWING ON GLASS ABOUT HER BTW IF YOU EVEN CARE!!!! #shadowheart is the character EVER dude im so unwell about her #also this is not me judging her at all. shes just like me fr fr on this #baldur's gate #bg3 spoilers #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #shadowheart #my post #eta: at risk of projecting here she seems so like. disorganized attachment to me. like that NEED to be loved #and craving that approval and fearing ur not good enough to get it #BUT ALSO being so scared to trust people in the first place that its hard to ever get that love #and kind of. how prone she is to rapidly going from total love and trust and openess about her feelings to just #completely walling off the player character if they say something she deems mildly uncomfortable or unsavory #oughhhh #im unwell man i am. simply unwell. #also tbh these tags are a fun game in: disorganized attachment style or bpd? why not both! sjdbdbdg

my greatest achievement in DA2 is maxing out Carver's friendship

and all it took was begrudgingly kissing a little templar ass in act 1 because Carver didn't want to plan a prison break if my Hawke got his ass arrested for being stupid.

#carver hawke #dragon age #dragon age 2 #da2 #well that and he didn't want leandra gamlen and himself to also get arrested for harboring an apostate but you get me #carver hawke loves his sibling and doesn't want them to get taken away that's why he's such an ass and approves of 'pro-templar' choices #in act 1 he's not pro-templar himself but kissing a little templar ass is how you avoid being arrested #'why yes cullen you are so right the templars are so cool and sexy' my hawke says through gritted teeth for that +5 friendship #look i love him okay he's my favorite and i will go the extra mile to make him happy and it's worth it for how much softer can be later on #honestly maxing out his friendship isn't hard if you're aware of what quests you're bringing him on and make him a grey warden #oh but you do need the legacy dlc otherwise you can't fully max friendship out... you can still get enough to change his dialogue/attitude #also like... we the player know hawke won't be arrested like they're not in any actual dangers from the templars as the playable character #but carver doesn't know that and neither does hawke so the templars *are* a real threat to them #and it's incredibly reckless to purposely piss off templars AND selfish because it's not just hawke that'll be arrested it's their family #for harboring them like we witness templars going after people hiding apostates soooo..... #i'm just saying that carver isn't irrational or just being an ass to personally annoy you okay he has cause #also once carver's a warden and ed has money and the estate THEN he's way more open about telling the templars to piss off #sigh one day i'll sit down and write an essay about carver.... one day

Ok ok obsessing rn over a detail in Cellbit's behavior after aligning with the Federation

He was able to keep it together very well and avoid any slip ups in speaking when it came to selling the part of a Federation loyalist, but there were a few moments when he did slip and I'm making it your business

When Cucurucho told him to break Forever's XP farm, he had a very visible reaction showing that this act held weight to him. Cellbit tells Cucurucho that he's "not able to do something like that" because he doesn't have the permissions to get into that area. And when he's informed that the Federation can give him the ability to do so, his face is very somber, almost like he's disappointed. He really didn't want to do that to Forever. And even though he said he couldn't do it cause of Create mod reasons, I'd like to think him "not being able to do something like that" was a slip up that he quickly recovered from by saying it was cause of the permissions. Trying to pitch it that he couldn't do it because of physical reasons, rather than emotional ones.

Then Cellbit and Quackity get to the farm. Quackity hates Forever for the Richarlyson situation and is eager to place TNT and blow up the whole thing, and how does Cellbit respond?

"Don't explode this, its gonna fuck him up"

He slips. Big time. And it goes to show that luck can really save your ass cause not only was Quackity too distracted by the mobs to hear it, but Cellbit had the perfect in-character reason for stopping Quackity; because the Federation only told him to get rid of the spawners, and to leave one intact. It was the perfect excuse, Cellbit is a perfect loyal peon and he wants to do things exactly as the Federation tells him to, nothing more. They didn't tell him to explode the whole room, so Quackity can't be allowed. They told him to keep one spawner intact, and TNT could accidentally blow up all of them, so Quackity must be stopped. Forever's farm must be protected. It all just so happens to coincide with Cellbit's personal reasons for not wanting Quackity to completely destroy it all.

Cellbit always cared about Forever, no amount of acting skills and strategy could hide that. Just luck.

#Cellbit really pulled a 'hey you can't destroy my best friend's/partner's very important xp farm #because y'know the Federation didn't approve :) #Yeah they didn't give the ok on TNT so just watch me and don't touch anything :) #Oh you can't get your revenge on Forever that I definitely support cause I definitely hate him too oh well that's to bad :)))))) #qsmp #cellbit #forever player #forever #im so #can you tell i've hopped on this train recently #what's their duo name I have no clue #4bit? #i'll go with that ig

I finally found an outfit I liked for my Durge, Malkira, just in time for the most important screenshot sets for any Durge.

And in time to make dual offerings of witless old heroes to Father.

#I really love the bisexual lighting in the Temple of Bhaal #not pictured: the awful fucking shoes im wearing right now #the player is sad to kill Jaheira for Bhaal #but the in-character play has been setting up the perfect offering to Father to regain his approval #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #durge #bg3 spoilers #dark urge #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 screenshots

If your Tav was a companion, would their personality get them routinely killed by the playerbase and why?

This is specifically about things they would do and say, not their demographic or tropes they fall into (i.e. "they are a gnome, so YEET" is a no, but "they wake the player up in the middle of the night to kill a horde of spiders they accidentally led to camp, so YEET" is a yes).

#Ydrich would be a frequently killed character. #Her approval “doesn't make sense” (a lot if it isn't the action she is disapproving of but the perceived motive or the kind of people it ef #She rejects the player's advances. Rudely. #She can't use scrolls or read books unless taught how to read and refuses to Revive dead companions if someone else is able to. #She lies which means they can't trust her. #Act I Astarion describes her as a horrible person and approves if you are hostile to her. #Many players will probably kill her on sight just for that +5. #Baldur's Gate 3 #BG3 #Tav #Durge

LARIAN I SHOULDNT HAVE TO ROLL TO KNOW ASTARION IS SCARED, he's terrified and at his most emotionally vulnerable we KNOW THIS DONT MAKE IT A ROLL

#seriously same for the perception check to spot the runes carved on the imprisioned spawn #those things are big and important storybeats that should ABSOLUTELY NOT be locked behind a roll #the game and story will continue on but jfc if you think its fine to be missed then why not just leave it out #i have feelings about this ever since one of the big 3 DMs mentioned it #if its something the player would get and can see it doesnt add drama it just is frustration #especially bc of past dialog options and a high approval rating you can just tell us astarions having a TIME TM #the rest of the quest was nice but god those stick out like a sore thumb #bg3 #baulders gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #Astarion bg3 #astarion #yes this is about him pre and post cazador fight

it's not that deep but the ground is soft and all that jazz, so i desperately wish to do a loose rewrite of wyll's arc because there are so many little details that could be added to make it hit harder. just. agh. so many gaps. so much potential. angst and headcanon bait practically.

how were the first days of exile for him? who were his childhood friends and where are they now? how much does he truly believe some of the stuff he says, and how much is just for the show? how does he truly feel about his father in arc three and after the game ends (depending on your choices, of course)? what is his relationship with his body like after it's been changed? you can literally go so deep.

my man barely is barely given the opportunity to acknowledge any conflicting emotions that he might have about things from his past without player input, and i get that it's so that your special little tav guy can feel even more special by helping him, but i'd personally prefer to see him struggle without that kind of guidance

#my stuff #bg3 #wyll ravengard #i had a similar complaint about player insert characters playing everyone's psych in a couple of other games too #i feel like it takes away from certain stories especially without proper justification #like in my head that justification in-game could be wyll seeking approval from whoever is closest (daddy issues hello~) #but that seems kinda easy and not nearly angsty enough #i've seen a couple of amazing fics that rework certain story beads without tav and oh wow they live in my head rent free #but they're not wyll centric enough #he's my special little guy i need to see him pulled apart and pressure washed and wrung out and left out to dry in the sun #bah my thoughts are all over the place about this #also feel free to add your own thoughts and opinions i'd love to hear them #consider this bait for dropping all your hardest wyll headcanons and theories and whatever
