Tired: Tav that’s good for Astarion cause they play therapist and give him support and space to heal
Wired: Tav that’s good for Astarion cause they’re such a disaster he has to get his shit together cause gods above one of them needs to be a functional adult

I keep thinking about Durge, who, even after defying Bhaal, is never truly free from their father's legacy.
Because yes, the Urge is gone, the cursed blood of Bhaal doesn't call to them anymore. But body remembers, even if mind doesn't. Body knows what it did, it knows what it was created for. It's instinctual, bone-deep reflexes of a person raised to be the perfect murderer. It's little twitches and how easily opponents fall: foes and former allies alike.
It's small glimpses of the past, because mind doesn't remember, but the body DOES. It's the eerie familiarity of darkest corners of Baldur's Gate, it's people recognizing Durge on the streets, people they don't remember but who remember THEM.
It's the feeling of being haunted by your own self.
It's the body of Ketheric, the bloody mess left of Orin, Gortash's lifeless frame. It's the knowledge you're the last one, what this tragic story of conquer started with you and ends with you.
It's the feeling of emptiness where bubbling joy once was, the blood on the blade what brings no feelings. It's being charming, or kind, or honest, or gentle, or honorable, but at the end of the day still being the best in the art of murder - and who are they if not Bhaal's unholy blade?
Godless and fatherless, struggling to reimagine themselves.
Especially when memories come; they never return fully, never in the whole picture. But glimpses, the shards of existence what was once theirs cut deeper than any ritual blade would.
I keep thinking about Durge weighted down by the grief of the world, guilt of the world.
Alone: without a god, a father, a sister, a partner (Gortash, bc these two were absolutely insane for each other).
Alone and with whole life ahead; lost and confused and with hands bloodied.
Hero, people call them. They don't feel like a hero.
#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate spoilers#dark urge#bg3 durge#the 'it started with us in ends with us' narrative is killing me#durge who is a tragic hero who at the end of the day is not the person they started with#and not the amnesiac from the nautilus#but the mix of both#martyr and murderer#savior and monster#also gortash my beloved. I keep having headcanon where Durge and him sworn loyalty to each other before orin lobotomised durge#swore like on infernal pact the ritual whay doesn't allow them betray each other#what links their lives together so they die as one#ultimate trust fall and safety feature#'you can't kill me because it would be killing yourself'#durge convinces Bhaal it's ok bc it only means Gortash and Durge will be the last men standing when the time comes#and when durge kills Gortash they will ki themselves too#making the ultimate last tribute to bhaal#but secretly durge is a survivor#they want to live more than they want to please father#so chaining them and gortash by the pact is a safety measure to make sure they don't kill gortash#bc killing gortash would be killing yourself and the self wants to survive#despite everything#so then in act 3 when durge dies and is reborn Gortash feels it#and when Karlach raises an axe to end up Gortash Durge cries in pain#because you can either kill one or neither#don't mind me I'm just plotting to keep rat coded evil boyfriend of my durge alive#durge has 2 hands he can have TWO rat-coded boyfriends#Astarion upon seeing the pact tattoo over the durge's heart: you too hug#and then Raphael is like 'THIS tattoo is the oath of loyalty actually. the closest thing devils have to a marriage pact'

lmao I've got such a handle on what branwen and gortash's partnership was like pre-tadpole, and how easily they fall back into it once branwen returns to the city; she's still fundamentally the same naive & easily manipulated child pulling the wings off butterflies that she was when they first met
but damn i have no idea what the dynamic looked like for elektra in her worldstate??

I'll have to see if I can pull funny out of this and successfully circumvent the Uncomfortable but situation: Leonys, recently engaged, traveling across Gondor with her fiance in the service of the King, starts randomly asking around about Eomer, king of Rohan (since Lothiriel is insistent that you don't tell anyone it's her asking). This isn't surprising at first, given her Whole Deal, until the questions become a little bit too obviously besotted. This is also not surprising, given her Whole Deal, but it is a bit scandalous. After all, her fiance is right there.
#lotro#to be very clear hathellang absolutely knows why shes asking the questions and is not even a little bit concerned#i would never consider shoving a half-baked infidelity misunderstanding arc in there#they make me sick#the potential comedy comes from both of them trying desperately to convince people who arent in the loop and dont know them that well#that honestly really theres NOTHING happening there its all FINE#while also protecting lothiriels privacy#but again its something ill have to experiment with to see if i can make it work#i dont know why im feeling the urge to dump my entire writing process all over tumblr this evening#this is it if anyones curious#1. i could pull a parallel/foil out of that#2. heres a potentially funny situation that might arise from that#3. lots and lots of thinking about that situation to decide if i really want to do it#this is like dangerous territory#it comes very close to one of my Rules#when i realized that leonys of rohan was going to be pretty romance focused i immediately established some Rules#one of them was absolutely no shitty stupid misunderstanding arcs#because theyre shitty and stupid and i hate them#and also i think they destroy a lot of romance in other media. like it could be a perfectly decent romance#but then they throw in some contrived misunderstanding arc where one of them thinks the other one is cheating or something#and it pulls back the curtain and reveals that actually they dont even fucking like each other#so yeah. number 2 on the Rule list and for a good reason#but its probably fine since the problem with that comes with one member of the couple thinking that#and it would all be external

You ever think about Shaun and Danse interacting and cry a lil bit
#theodoor (renamed synth shaun) struggles w/ being a copy of a contentious evil man#and being used as bait#and being taken in by that mans father as a pity child. not what was wanted but there anyway#and feels urges to act a certain way even after gus gets his ideal programming outta there#and resents basically everything and everyone involved in his existence#because he isnt just a lure. hes a doll. hes a toy made by a cruel and heartless man. made to be exactly like him#and every time he feels any negative emotion he feels like Shaun won and got his clone#every time he feels positive emotion he feels like a puppet carrying out Shauns wishes to be the ideal child#and DANSE eventually comes to terms with his nature/himself in general and gets better. and as he slowly starts entering a relationship#with gus he starts noticing /hey this kid is going through something similar/#/i suffered this but at least i was free to do as i wanted. teddy is a child & hes meant to be a specific child that he cannot possibly be/#and danse notices that teddy is squeamish around science because he wants to distance himself from shaun#so he takes him under his wing. /you wanna see how a laser works?/ and gets him to see that science is not a force of evil#but a tool to be used. Shaun used it for his ego but Danse uses it to protect the others. Isa uses it to heal the wasteland.#Curie uses science to save people and heal their pain. he shows him /you know better. so you wont become him. you literally couldn’t./#like. teddy has a lot of issues being put on the spot to be the missing boy come home. but not being that boy#and danse gets it. he had issues after building his existence on being a paladin and model soldier only to be the Enemy#he gets trying so hard and wanting so bad to be one thing or fully the other. not be in that awful middle ground where its all confusing#and danse figures out over time that the Institute made m797 but he - his choices and his experience - made Danse#and its the same for teddy. and the kid gets along better having someone who can closest understand what he feels#ss; alter#bc teddy is gus' kid so he goes in the tag
