Every Time You Complain About How Mean La'ezel And Shadowheart Are, I Become More Sapphic And Spitefully In Love With Them Both

#the sheepy speaks #quite frankly not putting this in the main tag #if you find this you found this #but like #''youd be ok if this was a man'' type behavior #[gestures at asterion and gale] #yall dont complain about the ponce and the wizard (derogatory) being bitches #just the women #now to be fair i havent seen any hate for shadowheart since they added in the option to save her #which ofc sanded her edges off #but la'ezel is just as mean and just as biting as shes always been #and i have spitefully fallen for her #shes the nicest gith in early access (short of your pc if you make a gith) #anyway this has been the worlds no1 la'ezel apologist howling into the void #fellow laezel lovers pls know im here lol #unrelated but in the tags regardless #asterion is fruity bitch #gale is bitch malewife #laezel is rude bitch #shadowheart is secretive bitch #and wyll is the fake bitch #i love all of them and i cant wait for beef bitch to show up #and maybe them letting halsin actually be a party memver

[ayrennaranaaldmeri]

i will say is seeing people unironically go 'gale's arc is about how bad he is at communicating' is just the funniest fucking thing i have read in my entire life and i haven't laughed that much at something since the early access conspiracy theories

#tbd #fandom wank #if this is the best that m*stra apologists can do lmaooooo #bestie your arc seems to be about your failing reading comprehension #anyway you are all wrong #gale's arc in bg3 is actually to find tara the best snacks #and using the crown of karsus is the good ending akshually as you see #by becoming the new magic god he can get tara the best treats. even better than pigeons and beholder jerky. #spellplague idgaf #see I can also say nonsense #sorry it's just so fucking funny to me i have to talk about it #ok but let's not fuck around #he's a male victim of a female abuser in a 'romantic' relationship where she had all the power #and at the end of the day that is the only reason there is any discourse about whether he is a victim of her at all #i'm tired of fucking around okay? we all know that's why. #anyway i respect every mxstra hater i truly do

[maegalkarven]

Also the fact what I'm going to talk Astarion out of ascension while playing as Gale who WILL grab the crown of Karsus for himself-

Like ok, hypocrite.

But also 7000 spawns over there and I am attached to every single one of them, so NO.

#a family can be you your tressum your vampire spawn boyfriend and his 7000 siblings #I'm sure mama dekarios will understand #tara: mr dekarios you need to find a mate! #tara when she sees WHO Gale fell for: ...I take my words back. surely you're not going to introduce him to missis Dekarios? #gale: of course I will introduce the man I want to marry to my mother! #tara: ...gods give me patience. but not strength bc I'll KILL that idiot #tara: mr dekarios this spawn is manipulating him #gale: i know! but it's ok cause I love him #tara:... not this again #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios #astarion #gale x astarion #bloodweave #bg3 spoilers #bg3

[a-heart-of-kyber]

Elminster: *describing Mystra* She may be tyrannical-

Me: *Stares at the Mystra's the goodest bestest God Ever fandom like I'm on The Office.*

#she was made from good and evil fuck the lore she's At Best neutral #bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #gale of waterdeep #even Elminster knows she's fucked but of course we get the but she's a god excuse #hey...maybe Someone Should take her place #fuck mystra #gale dekarios #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #spoilers #the same ppl that defend her have probably criticized zeus but somehow they're ok with her being a groomer/abuser but not him #interesting

my aesthetics :

the second quarter quell generation, pt one (aka the generation with all the principal characters’ parents, and then also haymitch)

#thg #hunger games #haymitch abernathy #Katniss everdeen #Peeta mellark #maysilee donner #thgedit #okay so in order this goes #Haymitch Haymitch’s girl katniss’s parents Peeta’s parents and then the donner twins #i will make a part 2 with the characters if I can think of more than gales parents #if I can’t hazelle and her husband will be retroactively added into this one #myaesthetics #myedit #ya lit aesthetic #ya lit edit #and yeah this may be shameless promo one day for my lil 2nd quarter quell ficcy #which is why the little title for Mr E is confusing !!! because a lot of this is about my made up lore!!! his mom is Maude ivory but she #disappeared when he was a child #which is why Katniss knows nothing about her own gramma!!! #ok anyways if I ever write it all the little titles will make sense but for now they’re confusing because I made this specially for me for #my made up headcanons that make no sense to anyone else lololololol #oh oh oh also I put black eyes in both Katniss’ mom and Peeta’s mom’s edits for a reason!!! #ok so like I always interpreted it that abuse in the merchant class was more common #like what Peeta obviously went through at home was actually normalized in his circle #and it’s also implied Katniss’ mom was shunned by her parents for marrying Katniss’ dad so I figure they couldn’t have been good parents #and then Peeta’s mom Ruby also has blood on her own hands because we know she one day is abusive to her own kids so it’s like #she experienced abuse and then continues the terrible circle #but obviously Katniss’ mom lavender does not! she has other issues though but the young version is so fun to play with #also young Haymitch and his girl here would be the most judgey pretty couple #I have lots of headcanons for them some of which I’ve entwined already into at least one of my fics

[beckiboos]

Me when I start act 3

“Well I guess I better design my next character”

And this is why I have never finished the game

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 #baldurs gate iii #ok so my first playthrough I got it here big brain battle in the sky right #so I guess I nearly won #ahh the game down I’ll finish this tomorrow #patch 1 drops and breaks the save #not joking I must have had like… 15 minutes left of the game if that #and I wasn’t that thrilled tbh cuz I became a mindflayer and astarion dumped me #so I was pretty upset this was my good ending and was hoping there was a suicide ending tbh because what was the ping of my character living #they now have no soul and been dumped and became the one thing you tried not to become #yey the city wins but I just lose I guess #and karlach offered to become a mindflayer but only if she eats Orpheus brain #??? #girl why is that your stipulation #if you don’t sacrifice Orpheus she just like nah I only wanted to eat his brain #and don’t get me started on the emperor part just not making any fucking sense #so what I know of the ending I’m not thrilled with #might just let Gale blow up tbh

[pinacoladamatata]

Here I am. The lone Gale x Minthara shipper.

#Hear me out ok #its about the soul crushing devotion #he would think he can change her/slowly realizing maybe she doesnt need to be changed #she just needs to calm down a little #while she's slowly getting over her reservations about not getting attached bc she's convinced hes gonna blow up #but god shes a VENGEANCE PALADIN #give me minthara absolutely hating and fucking spitful raging against Mystra #gale doesnt DO light-hearted romance #and also oh my god minthara's romance..... #'without lolth and the absolute i dont even know who i am. you do. i think.' #gales comments about how he's convinced she's got a heart of gold under her cold exterior #take me out #this is like half crack ship #half not

[lore-vigenere]

I can tell this playthrough is my favorite because I just spent 30 minutes buying dye for everyone's armor based on what I think they'd like to celebrate finishing all their personal quests. An in character shopping trip where my Tav was like, "We've come so far, and we need to look good for the ending! Everyone's getting new drip, my treat!"

Whereas last time, I didn't care about outfit cohesion in the slightest.

Anyway I'll be ranting in the tags about my choices if anyone cares.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #OK SO RAMBLING INCOMING #Shadowheart got custard and pink rose because she was tired of purple and black #and i thought something bright and fun would suit her #Karlach got boreal blue because blue looks good on her and she totally knows it #that one was mostly personal preference tbh #Astarion got lush burgundy because its described as being worn by wealthy people #and he has an image to maintain so of course #Wyll got faewild green and dun because he spends a lot of time in the wilderness #and it may or may not be a subtle message from my archfey warlock #Gale has dark amethyst because the man likes purple and looks stunning in it #Lae'zel got sinful red on bone white and i dont think that needs explaining #and my Tav Talice has peach and apricot because its a gorgeous color combo and i liked it #Halsin Jaheira and Minsc didnt get anything because they look fine as is #and also tbh they aren't part of my Squad #i love them all dearly but they're like the overworked parents and uncle for the crew #this was a Kids Only shopping trip

for me… FOR ME..!!! and for shri’iia specifically the lock in for astarion’s romance is his graveyard scene in act 3.

i think it is too quick for shri’iia to be moving on to another relationship considering her previous one was with her mistress who essentially groomed and isolated her for like … more than hundred years. learning to chase her own desires and not moulding herself to what anyone wants her to be is something so new to her…!!! and something that she’s still learning how to be comfortable with….

and what I like abt romancing astarion with her is that I usually go for the dialogue path in his act 2 confession scene where you can ask him:

- what do YOU want to do?

and he goes like honestly idk what we’re doing but /this/ is nice. it just feels like two people exploring the option to love for the first time and taking things in their own pace rather than jumping straight into the relationship. they’re going at a snails pace… they don’t know what they’re doing but they like this feeling and the vibe and they want to more of it but they’re not ready to commit to anything yet and it’s fine for them …!! and they’re only committing by the end in the graveyard scene where significant time has passed and they’ve learnt a little more about themselves and they’re both more confident about their own desires and also how they want to be loved.

like it is so fitting I think… and sweet… not to mention astarion being a high elf & a vampire and shri’iia being a drow, they have all the time of the world for themselves so I def think they would want to take their time. except if shri’iia turns into a mindflayer or drider by the end then that plan is out the window lol

#now I’m thinking who else I can romance with her .. maybe lae’zel ?? #since the thing with her is that she doesn’t get vulnerable in act 1 so the scenes where the romances #are kind of heart to hearts like shadowheart’s or karlach’s (😭😭😭) is out of the question since it doesn’t fit her … #like she’d rather sleep with someone first than actually get to know them 😭 hence astarion and lae’zel … #gale and wyll… I am hmmm about it on one hand her approval with wyll in act 1 is not even high enough 😭😭 #and I don’t think she can be sweet enough to chase after him in the party .. she was kind of like ok fine whatever when he said he’s not in #the mood … gale I think can be a contender .. I actually don’t know how his route goes so I’m not sure abt that … #but the thing is … she gets vulnerable LATER ..!! and why astarion’s romance work for her is i hc after their act 2 scene #they’re just in a situationship rather than actual relationship … like they’re dating (yes!) but also dating (hmmmm) #and it’s only in his last scene where they both lock in bc I think that’s enough time for her to process her OWN trauma and also for her #own character development … like she has to learn how to trust (ack!!!!) which is the thing that you don’t do when you’re raised in lolth’s #cult …. and her mistress manipulated her trust too so it’s even more nerve wracking for her bc she doesn’t want someone to have that power #over her again .. but now she has to learn how to give it away freely … without being scared … bites my hand …!!!! #and astarion graveyard scene where he wants to live again vs shri’iia learning how to trust again and trying to live without the fear of #someone betraying you and using you and the paranoia that comes with it … urck urgh goughhhhhh critical hit … #also I have a hc that she actually is quite good at making poisons since her mother sold alchemy herbs and components #and she gives him poison as a courting gift lol .. also like a way to protect him 🤭 but she won’t admit that … she’s like if you want it #take it if you don’t idc 🤷‍♀️ (she does..) i hc that she gets flustered at sincerity actually #their relationship for me is like they’re both two little shits and a general menace to society (both charlatans) #but if they had to hold hands she’d get too flustered too and he’s like honestly what are you a child? (smug face making fun of her) #I have this little comic idea for them when they held hands for the first time and she’s like ouggghhh 😳😮‍💨 flustered and sweating and he’s #like hihi 🤭😎 but then their hands starts to get sweaty and then he’s like ew that’s disgusting and she’s like ok if u hate it let go then #and he’s like no YOU let go 🙄 but they don’t let go now they have to suffer through the sweaty hand holding alas such is fate …

[masseffect5]

pov ur gale and this menacing ass but cutieful girl who swears she’s unlovable and not a good person cups ur face with her hands and heals all ur wounds with magic after every fight bc she swears she can’t do it unless ur sosososo close and u indulge her every time bc u love her touch and u want to show her that she is gentle and loving & u also like it bc u feel very loved. thank you goodnight.

#gale when he promises hal he’s ok but let’s her check anyway #hal when logically she knows he can handle himself but checks every time anyway #hal when ​if i dont prove my goodness then how will u know i love u 🥹 how will u know i am capable of love #bg3 spoilers

[new-austin]

Mystra having the same slick backed hairstyle and the earring as gale. I am going to call it now, that man saw how cool that woman was and immediately copied her style like the nerd he is.

#I LOVE THIS NERD #HE COPIED HER STYLE IMMEDIATELY I JUST KNOW IT #bg3 spoilers #I guess #Ok the earring is her symbol. But I think it's funny she and gale match #Bg3

[stinkrascal]

i swear to god bg3 wants me to become a mind flayer so bad bc i had to reload my save twice last night bc i got turned into a mind flayer mid battle and the whole game ended at one point, and then when i realized why that happened and fixed it, i was turned into a half illithid and had to reload my save again bc i dont wanna be one! like baldurs gate wtf let me live 😭

#bg3 spoilers #also THE EMPORER #i love him hes my husband now #apparently he’s romanceable… you know im gonna smooch that mind flayer #not this playthrough but eventually #im still trying for halsin 😁☝🏻 astarion is my situationship rn but he annoys me #hes so flippant like sir i need u to dedicate ur heart and soul to our love not struggle to use the term ‘girlfriend’ u rat #i hate when ppl are romantically unattached that is NOT me so astarion i hate you. be romantic why don’t you #actually it’s funny bc he’s the guy my pc is romancing rn but he also has the lowest approval of all her main companions lmao #shadowheart and gale would DIE for my pc right now. and halsin likes her a lot too! astarion is just like well she’s ok ig 🤷🏼 WE R DATING? #sorry i had 2 get this out. i stayed up til 5 am playing bg3 this game has taken over my life #FINALLY im at baldurs gate!!!

[lunawish]

no matter how different my characters may be they all have a varying degree of 'ooh pretty lady' when they look at shadowheart yelling for help in the nautiloid pod like y'all ???

#ooc. #i've had characters who refused to help gale outta the portal. had characters who refused to help lae'zel and one who decided to kill starr #BUT none of them could turn away shadowheart??? bc they think she's CUTE>????? #its ok i know my gay druid would save her bc he's obligated to give everyone a chance at life ...

[autoneurotic]

bard in baldurs gate is IT literally the perfect class. i’m super charismatic and picked the performer background so i just waltz into camps and SCREAM “OI. YOURE NOT SHIT MATE” and it fucks up the enemies next roll??!!

#class built for me. i’m a loud mouth i’m cocky i do NOT know when to shut up but people still think i’m charming xx #my bard is an elf her name is Elia. she’s good with a rapier and a bow #better with her sharp tongue and words #the amount of people i haven’t fought is hilarious. i just. lie. and they go ok sounds right to me! #gale WILL be her bf. it will happen #i don’t CARE if he’s cursed and i have to feed him powerful arcane items #IM not a wizard. IM not using them. chow down baby

[perilegs]

i downloaded the multiple romances mod but i still don't know if i want anode to romance both minthara and gale or just minthara (info on anode if you're interested) so!

#i really like how awful this situation can be. like. obviously gale has a terrible ex and anode is so much better compared to that but. shes #still not good for him. im imagining their dynamic with gale collared on a leash #just. ok. anode will fall head over heels for minthara the moment they meet. and you guys know the 3rd brother comment minthara says to gal #imagine your girlfriend also dating that woman #which. ok this all sounds so delicious and awful #but my biggest problem with justifying it is - what would anode see in gale? #someone willing to worship her probably but like. what would make Her love gale #i can see why gale would like her but idk. maybe anode appreciates the way he's a do gooder until it comes to acquiring power? #bc they agree on that. maybe just something draws anode to gale but what is that something? #i might find out if i just. romance gale as her but what if i dont #also im planning on doing a gale romance eventually anyways. with a very silly fatherly folk hero tav #so. im not missing out on his romance if i dont do this #but idk man it just seems so interesting #leevi liveblogs
