#Jealous companion

[iamapoopmuffin]

The only time I've ever gotten the cutscene of Lae'zel and Shadowheart arguing about the relic followed by Shadowheart trying to kill Lae'zel has been immediately after Lae'zel tried to proposition Shadowheart's lover for sex in front of her. Quite a ways into the journey, long after the relic was brought up and made relevant.

Lae'zel wasn't fond of the player before that, so it was quite a shock. Not sure how my approval shot up so fast, but it more gave the vibe that she was doing it mostly to anger Shadowheart.

Which then gave the fight a vibe of 'I'm using this as an excuse to fight with you but really I want to pick a catfight over the camp's hottest Gith' which is such a stupid funny thought, just total camp discord because my Gith cleric is too sexy for this world.

#Like damn nobody ever tried to kill each other over my half-orc #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #shadowheart #lae'zel #shadowheart x tav #Or for shadowzel fans maybe she's really trying to make shart jealous because she wants her- #I both don't ship the companions with each other and totally ship all combinations #It just really depends on my mood lol #Idk when this cutscene is supposed to occur but I like the timing I got

Gage with Sole that gets lost in nuka cola world? Like he doesnt pay attention to them for one second and they already wandered off and has no clue where they at "gage pick me up im scared and there are flying ants"

aka my experience being underleveled and doing the hardest areas of the park first :'D

Gage and Overboss's No Good, Very Bad Vacation In Nuka World

Realistically, Gage should have anticipated it. It's was a theme park, they were designed to be massive labyrinths with money sinks at every corner. The bigger and more confusing it is, the more likely someone will get lost and wander, and hopefully stumble into a shop or something. This is basic Capitalist Design 101.

Another thing he should have expected was that there were damn good reasons the other parks weren't already full of raiders, living the high life. Colter didn't do it because he was lazy; no one else did for fear of death. Gage himself never heard of anyone coming back from the other parks, that means they don't.

So, really, he should have considered it his own damn fault for not thinking about it, the first time he lost track of his shiny new Overboss.

That first time, it happened in that bottling plant. They went into a door, he followed behind, they went into another door, and another, and shit got weird from there when the soda river erupted with crabs.

He killed some crabs. They killed some crabs. He turned to see where they were killing crabs and saw jack shit.

It was then that he realized that the bottling plant was echoey as fuck, and he hadn't been behind them for...a good ten minutes, at least, just following noises that came from God knows where.

Gage didn't know the layout of the place. Neither did they. The fact that the river is just one line doesn't help shit, because there's employee tunnels, manufacturing, the rest of the plant. The plant was fucking big. They could have been anywhere. Whererever they were, there was more fucking crabs. And Gage, being a good underling who had to pull a lot of strings to get to this point in the first place, wasn't very okay with the idea of his boss being crab dinner.

So he hit the legs, backtracking through tunnels, the walkways above the bottling zones/whatever the fuck those were. Kept finding crabs he didn't kill, good start. Kept hearing gunfire, grenades, crab-screaming. Less good. Ended up back on the soda river (what the fuck was wrong with these people). Accidentally triggered every fucking pre-recorded line from the intercom, which drowned out the shit he needed to hear. At this point, Boss has been fighting for their goddamn life for twenty minutes, and the walls had started to melt into one big blob of samey-samey. Not even the sky was this blue.

Eventually, they found him, pursued by six hunters. He killed some crabs. They killed some crabs. He turned around, grabbed them, and was about to threaten to put them on one of them toddler leashes if they wandered off like again. But then a pack of Assaultatrons kicked down a door and they jumped in different direction away from the lasers. Ran down different hallways. Found more crabs. Killed more crabs, pursued by Assaultatrons. He knew Boss ran back into the river, because the all of Announcer Lady's lines were playing over and over each other, like the layers of hell condensing into a pure diamond of auditory psychology warfare.

Gage didn't notice when the chaos stopped, when the robots and crabs started dropping. It just happened and he had to take a breather, find his happy place. When he met back up with the boss, they were covered in stab wounds from stimpaks, used all their ammo and grenades, and thought that a suit of power armor made up for it.

The power armor did do well against the crab kings on the roof. It did not survive the Queen in the pond.

After this, he pulled them aside, told them to slow the fuck down and not charge through places like a drunk bull in a china shop. They said yes, Gage, I will definitely do that, and I will definitely proceed with caution and carry extra supplies on my personal.

They did, for their credit.

The Mr. Frothy's, however, didn't let that stay true for long.

Both of them took one step into Galactic World, and a fucking soda nuke dropped in between them. And again, they scrambled for different cover. Then a Frothy went after Gage, and the soda bomber bot went after the boss, and they had to separate again.

It'll be fine, he thought, I'll just kite around this corner that leads back into the main area, this wall is like three feet wide, this doesn't lead into a different level entirely.

It did.

Gage made it to the middling level of the Galactic Zone, every eyebot swarming like they wanted fresh meat or some shit, and the Overboss was running from the Nukatrons and a Mr. Frothy screaming about strangling them. Couldn't go the way he came, had his own robot fixated on asphyxiation behind him. Kept running. Then the laser turrets kicked on, and this was now an exercise in agility and being God's favorite.

When the robots patrolling the park finally all died, it was midnight, Gage was half-dead, had no ammo, and no indication that the overboss was alive, save Redeye's music playing at full volume somewhere nearby. Back to Nuka-World for supplies, sleep, and a nervous breakdown.

The next day, they took on the Vault attraction.

It seemed like things were looking up. Sure, the boss got lost looking for...what, stickers on the walls? Something with dumb bottle-cap glasses. But the robots were few and far between, the space was small and linear enough Boss couldn't wander off too far, and they made it out having not used all of their ammo. It was a good sign.

They went to the Interstellar Theatre, next.

Boss had the good idea to go in quiet, sneak around. They found an elevator up to the projection room, found a starcore, and figured that the area was clear, or at least mostly safe. They just cut all the power, after all.

The robots are motion activated.

Fighting turrets, protectatrons, Mr. Handy's in the dark was bad enough. But whoever the fuck put a sentrybot in a theatre, Gage hoped they went to hell.

He found the boss trying to drown themselves in a water fountain, when the last bot went down.

Back to Nuka-World for ammo, stimpaks, and another nervous breakdown as a treat

I saw a robot fighting ring, Boss said. The bots would have already killed each other in there, they said.

So they went to the Robco Battleground.

One or two robots, the rest were dormant. Thank. God. Boss found some starcores, some good loot, went into a door in a basement with robots.

The door shut and maglocked behind them. The pre-recorded announcer starting up the match. All those dormant robots in the basement woke up. On one side of that door, the Overboss fought for their goddamn life with a bunch of tincans. On the other, Gage did the same damn thing. When it opened back up, guess what they did? Yep, back to Nuka-World for stimpaks, ammo, and another nervous breakdown. And a shower, because flammable oil is not a good thing to be covered in, when using firearms. Gage heard the boss muttering and giggling about laser turrets to the plush toy sloth they picked up, and wondered if he would have to put them down out of mercy.

And then the fucking...Nuka Galaxy ride.

So dark. So big. So long. It was the longest attraction at that fucking park. Couldn't see your hands in front of you. Gage could have lost his mind in that section with the giant fake rocks. Found a lot of dead people who did, anyway. Once the Frothy's came barreling out from a hallway, yet again, the Boss went one way, he went the other. When they killed the bots, had to marco-polo triangulate their way back to each other. And then the area with the giant UFOs, and no lighting on the scaffolding. Who the fuck made this park? None of this was OSHA compliant, surely. You know what's even less OSHA compliant?

Laser turrets on EVERY FUCKING WALL.

Laser turrets on every UFO, every ceiling, every wall, every stairwell, every giant fake rock, laser turrets everywhere. Why? Why would Nuka Cola Corporation think they needed this many? Were they expecting two dipshit raiders to come strolling on through, and hated them, specifically? They weren't fucking ashing little Timmy for lifting from the gift shop, right?

You know what else sucks? Laser turrets high above you, in a pitch black corridor, where there's a drop just mere feet in front of you.

Boss didn't get lost in here because Gage grabbed them by the scruff of their shirt if they so much as leaned too far away. No, he doesn't care what shiny thing you see, you are staying within arm's length. Fuck treasure, fuck Galactic Zone, and fuck John Nukacola, or whatever his name was.

Gage never again let them get more than five feet away from him, after Galactic Zone was cleared, and the boss never again had to whisper hateful nothings about laser turrets to their sloth toy.

... : 。 ❈ ✪ , [𝐓]he *🆃🅾🅼🅱 𝑅ᴬᴵᴰ𝔢𝔯, 𝕷𝚊𝚛𝚊 𝕮𝚛𝚘𝚏𝚝. (ˀ yellowjackets verse.

𝕸oving to wiskayok, new jersey, in the year 1994 at the age of sixteen, lady lara amelia croft seems to have swapped her riches for rags in a desperate attempt of reconciliation with the embrace of her teenage years passing her by. due to a plane crash claiming the lives of her parents at the age of ten, it was with deep fear for her mental wellbeing that she desperately fled the croft mansion, left in her name now left under the care of winston smith, the croft family butler. residing in a suburban home neighbouring jackie taylor, lara begins her girlhood with the help of her distant family cousin on her mother's side. what seemed to be the perfect getaway from the busy and suffocating life of a lord's daughter and his demons from the past only had its many ups and downs, thanks to lara's behavioural inconsistencies... it seems grief and bereavement has no area code. reaching the age of eighteen in the year of 1996, where she seems to be a sort of outcast, known as "that one british girl who moved here two years ago, real rich, real snotty, drives a sick yamaha but she's such a snob, she doesn't let anyone touch the thing" with the exception of the yellowjackets team. popular with the boys due to that foreign mystique, appalled by the usual taste of american boys but she appreciates a good chase. although familiar with jackie taylor due to being her neighbour, it seems that's where the likeness ends. lara has always had a bad habit of being a lone wolf, never really accepting help from anyone else, until she took the generous offer of a free ride to seattle as the team's videographer. UNTIL THE CRASH OF MAY, 1996. a traumatic event that proves as a catalyst for previous trauma regarding her parents' plane crash, along with lacking the experience of travel and adventure, (apart from travelling and her archaeological visits to sites with her father from the ages 6-9), lara struggles severely with working in a team. but when it comes to survival, it seems she embraces who she's always been within: THE TOMB RAIDER.

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

i do think the jealousy in school reunion is really interesting i think thats a really fun part of the doctor companion dynamic to explore, what makes me roll my eyes is the we're both in love with him "the missus and the ex" thing

but like the jealousy thing on its own? just the flipside of the making people feel special thing that we explored a bit with 12. the doctor does single people out, does make them feel special, their attention is like a fucking spotlight who would be immune to that warmth

but the other side of that then is like, was it their attention that made me special? was it their companionship that made me special? thinking of donna going travelling "it's all bus trips and guidebooks and dont drink the water and two weeks later youre back home" like sure thats comparing what the trips are like but like, that also describes sort of like, who you get to be on those trips right? a tourist vs a hero

thinking of yaz in combat magicks being like "yaz liked wearing her uniform because it marked her out as someone who belonged anywhere. ready to help, and with the right to intervene. the doctor just breezed in and made the whole universe her business, like she was born to it, and yaz longed for that confidence." thats sort of what being the doctor's plus one gives you, right? access to everywhere, without consequences, except maybe your own death but the doctor makes you feel invincible too so you dont worry about that

so sure there would be jealousy but i think making it into an ex-girlfriend kinda jealousy flattens it? "in amongst 7 billion theres someone like you" and then you get to save planets. you become a part of the doctor's hero complex. you get to see beautiful amazing things but you also get to prove yourself a hero every day. thinking of rose "the doctor showed me a better way of living your life. you dont just give up. you have the guts to do whats right when everyone else just runs away" you get to feel powerful. you get a lot of agency where in your daily life you probably dont have a lot. thats what the doctor gives to those handful of the seven billion. so what if they take it away?

thinking of clara asking "why me?" and sarah jane "did i do something wrong?" why did i get this opportunity. and why was it taken away. was it anything i did? and if it wasnt, then doesnt that undermine all that agency you made me feel like i had? can i do this on my own too? and of course lots of companions prove they can, they dont need the doctor to be who they are but idk. i think it would still be kinda insecure-making when youre still with the doctor. when youre still in the middle of it like rose in school reunion. when you dont know yet what After will look like

and this is something the fam doesnt have to deal with i think. because they came to the doctor. they werent picked, they werent offered, they asked. they dont have to wonder 'why did you pick me'. which im kinda relieved about especially thinking about yaz? imagine having to wonder 'was i a friend of convenience' on top of everything else. oof.

and another thing is that of course for the doctor the rejection hurts just as much. when a companion says no thank you, your way of life doesnt seem that fun to me (anymore)

anyway so uh tldr i guess the jealousy thing is interesting but making it a romantic jealousy is not whats interesting about it

#sorry to make you read 600 words and then have no conclusion #started typing and hoped i'd find a point somewhere but i didnt #i think i just laid out all my most unflattering sides without really making a point in this #so #rip #i think actually what ex-companion jealousy would be more like than romantic jealousy is sorta like #old doctor actors jealousy #i mean all old doctors ive ever heard talk about it have been VERY generous and gracious but #theres also i think david tennant said once about filming regeneration that like #one moment youre the most important person in the room. or FEEL like that anyway #and the next EVERYONES attention is on the next guy and people are just like okay thanks bye #i mean im sure people are not that cold waving off an old doctor but like #i can imagine. one moment youre The Guy. the next youre... not #one moment youre The Doctor's Companion. the next it's this new girl??? hello?? #thats MY spot thank you very much #at least when youve been the doctor to all us dw fans youre forever the doctor #that doesnt go away #but if you were a companion and then you go back home. nobody even fucking knows #youre just. normal. nothing special. nobody knows of the things youve seen and done #yeah i'd be jealous. but not of the doctor's previous 50 girlfriends #just of the next 50 fgkfhjdghjfkdgh #solution is to take them down with me of course #none of clara's 'youre not dying with me die with the next one' nonono youre dying with me sweetheart #like i said. my most unflattering sides fhgkhgjh

thinks about time lord biting again with eleven & clara. thinking about eleven nipping victorian!clara because he got overexcited, regretting it, and then trying to hold onto the fact that he did it and nothing bad happened yet and maybe she can come with him- oops. eleven trying so hard for so long to keep it to himself when he finds clara again. lets her in but never lets her close enough. but thinking about it, always.

and most of all, imagining eleven finally breaking, and when clara lets him bite her, it’s all that fresh loss and need to keep her safe and burgeoning trust and restraint falling away at once and- he bites too hard. apologizing to clara as he patches her up. it leaves a scar. and scars don’t regenerate. her first doctor, dug into her skin even after he’s gone. permanent.

…and now i’m thinking about twelve tentatively placing his teeth against that scar, pulling away, and giving clara a brief nip somewhere else, somewhere safer. (and clara, annoyed, dragging him in so that she can bite him back hard. even more annoyed when he won’t scar the way she wants him to, the way she did for him, the way he’d forever have to keep and remember.)

#also thinking about the awkward questions she’d have to deflect from danny about it- #ALSJFKJFLA no see twelve would just say he did that. if it was to annoy danny. he would. #when ur gf introduces u to her time travelling alien …friend(?) and the first thing you learn is that the prominent bite scar you thought #was maybe from some kind of animal attack was HIM. yeah. #donna 🤝 clara: biting the doctor back once he starts biting them #clara fully picks it up as an affectionate thing though. donna mostly does it if she’s thinking about it and thinks he needs it. #clara just. does it. like it’s natural for her the way it is for the doctor. #she does it in front of missy and scandalizes her/makes her Very jealous alsjfjfljskd. doctor u cannot be biting ur companions in public or #letting them bite you back like that!!!

Have you seen any specific lines for romancing Minthara *as* Gale?

Aside from special romanced ending with Karlach, I haven't seen any specific lines for romancing Minthara as Gale (or any other companions). The number of files is huge, so there's always a potential that I could be wrong.

There are some unique lines for wizard Tav which I think would trigger when you play as Gale, but yeah, not Gale-exclusive.

Watching a Let's Play of the Bishop romance mod and I'm at a part where he's complaining about the PC being Dragonborn and doing Dragonborn things. One of the dialogue options is "If you find another Drsgonborn, let me know!" because Bishop wants the PC to stop heroing and run away with him. Of course I thought of Miraak being the other Drsgonborn, but I'd honestly rather hang out with him than Bishop.

Two Drsgonborn are better than one, right?

[allyriadayne]

i might be misremembering something, so please correct me if i'm wrong but don't the martells hold a bigger grudge against the lannisters than the targaryens? and aerys and rhaegar play as much a role in what happened to elia and her kids as tywin did. we know about the martell-targaryen alliance that didn't come into fruition and doran sent quentyn to meet with dany to make another alliance. so why would the daynes get shunned for what happened during the rebellion and presumably for what arthur did, i can't really think of anything else, when the martells are more than willing to ally themselves with the targaryens? is it because the daynes are no longer useful allys? was there something already brewing and now the other houses finally had a reason? do ned and allyria simply have bad vibes??

anon referring to this post about the daynes after robert's rebellion.

yeah the martells hate the lannisters, tywin in particular, because he was directly responsible for elia and her children's murder. the lannister sacked the city and tywin's soldiers raped and killed the princess. imo they do blame the targaryens somewhat, rhaegar most of all for humiliating elia so many times but all of them are already dead and viserys and daenerys have nothing to do with the rebellion. it's more or less why oberyn risked himself defending tyrion just to take revenge on the real enemy, tywin and the mountain. you have to understand the martells were inextricably tied to the targaryens during the rebellion, even if rhaegar and aerys humiliated elia when the king asked for their armies they had to answer. they didn't have allies outside of dorne to resist the targaryen and remember how cersei was jealous of elia? i'd bet many house felt scorned by aerys choosing the sickly dornish princess.

as for the daynes, ok, let's remember this is not proper canon, it's just a theory, so i would say the kingsguard stationed at the tower of joy is another insult to elia. to them, they are guarding rhaegar's mistress and rhaegar's bastard instead of guarding and defending the actual wife and children of the prince. we can't actually say the martells knew what the kg were doing in dorne, but they for sure knew they were there either by aerys or rhaegar's design. wasted in that sad little tower instead of leading the defense like ser barristan and prince lewyn or protecting the royal family like jaime and ser willem. they were basically useless. martells might think, esp of arthur, another dornishman whose sister was elia's closest lady, that the knights didn't care enough or didn't fight enough to do their duties. then the story of ned arriving at starfall to return dawn would've leaked and imagine how it looks: robert baratheon's best friend going to starfall to amicably return the dayne's sacred sword (there is history of stealing the valyrian sword of another house when there's defeat; i think there are two ironborn houses with stolen swords currently). they are not meeting as enemies, as the martells, at this time, might think of anyone of robert's side: ned, jon arryn, tywin, etc. remember jon arryn had to personally broker the peace between dorne and the new crown, oberyn was raising the banners for viserys. it was all pretty unstable.

#ask #Anonymous #fallen and reborn #house martell #house dayne #unbowed unbent unbroken #it's funny you mention the other houses because i was toying with the idea that the other dornish houses might feel jealous of the daynes #they got the lady in waiting who is closest to the princess and the kingsguard knight who is the closest friend of the prince #that's a LOT of influence and i could think it could've been possible to make allyria rhaenys' companion too along with arianne possibly #but rest in pieces house dayne #i feel like allyria could have bad vibes. not ned though
