hey! so, i just recently started playing baldur's gate 3 after seeing people put it all over my dash for months--and you're one of the people i've seen reblogging a lot of posts about it LOL. so if you don't mind me asking, i was wondering what kind of character do you/did you play as? and do you have any sort of backstory for your tav that you'd like to share?

Hoooooooooooooh my god thank you so much for asking. I have a friend who comes over to watch me play on Thursdays and I make a powerpoint every week to catch her up on what she missed - this week's powerpoint literally has slides about my Tav's background (more on those later). This is about to be long, I'm about to drop ALL my lore so buckle up! AND THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY BG3 BRAIN WORMS!!!!! I'm glad they convinced you to play 😈

So to begin, I've been in my first ever dnd campaign with a group of friends for a little over a year now. I didn't know much about Baldur's Gate except that it was a dnd video game and that you could romance people. Me, being a Big Fan of Romance And Fantasy was like "okay well I'm in" and my friend actually let me start a game at his house. Through that, I met Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion.

Backing up a bit to my character; I decided I'd put my character from my irl dnd campaign into the game since I already knew her whole deal. I get pretty overwhelmed with making decisions, ESPECIALLY with big open world games like bg3, so knowing who/what I wanted to be really helped me out.

In the campaign I'm in with friends, it's pirate themed, and I play a half-elf bard named Birdie Harp who's secretly half-siren (murder mermaid). To make a long story very short, she was born in the arctic and escaped her murderous pod during a coming-of-age trial where she also lost her siren abilities (hypnotizing voice, breathing underwater, etc).

I've watched a ton of Dimension 20 which is an actual play show on Dropout.tv (an "actual play" is where you watch other people run a campaign of dnd - like Critical Role, which a lot of people have at least heard of - HIGHLY recommend Dimension 20, as I find it incredibly funny and easier to get into than CR because of the episode lengths), and I knew that I really liked the silliness and theatricality of the bard class. I also loved the bards from The Owl House which helped influence my decision as well.

To be honest, Birdie is my first ever dnd character, so she's basically a self insert but with a MUCH more traumatic backstory than me (this IS dnd after all). As for the half-elf aspect, it was more of an "I want to be half mermaid, what's similar to that?" as opposed to a love for half-elves or something.

BACK TO BALDUR'S GATE - knowing I wanted Birdie to be in the game, I felt a lot less overwhelmed to come up with something entirely new - I knew a lot about the bard class having played one so I wanted to CONTINUE playing one (and I've learned even more since playing bg3!).

When I finally got my own game (I no longer play at my friend's house, but in the comfort of my own home), I recreated Birdie and started on my journey in earnest. I'm VERY MUCH someone who likes to be in control and know what to expect, so I've had guides and walkthroughs to help me the whole time - SUE ME! When it came to first meeting Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion back at my friend's house, Gale actually immediately stole my heart - a kind, witty wizard who likes books and cats? Literally say less. I went home from that session with my friend fully thinking I'd be a Gale girlie until I really looked into the other options and saw The Vampire.

Blah blah blah, he's hot and funny, but he can also be incredibly soft, which really won me over in the end. So I've been romancing That Guy.

Through Acts 1 and 2, I wasn't all too sure about this version of Birdie's background - sure she COULD still be that half-siren from the arctic, but the game kept suggesting she was FROM Baldur's Gate. I LOVED the inclusion of the harpies in Act 1 and thought maybe that was a viable entry point for her backstory, but so far, she was kind of just... me? She was making the choices I wanted to make (and a few that I knew Astarion would like lmao), but she wasn't really her own entity apart from me except for her name. She also felt vastly different from that character I'd created for my friends over a year ago. For instance, my irl Birdie currently has a crush on a Gale-type character, but this Birdie is ass deep in Astarion (hey, sorry I said "ass deep in Astarion"). The thing I love about Baldur's Gate 3 is how you can really come up with your own backstories, since the in-game one for your Tav is so vague. It's totally fine to ignore tiny details in the game and mold them to your own headcanons for your Tav, but I was so unsure of what I wanted for this Birdie that I kind of internalized that she was from Baldur's Gate.

HEADS UP! The following has some spoilers for Act 3 and some side quests, so STOP reading if that's something you'd care to avoid (the last 3 paragraphs of this post are SAFE from spoilers):

When Act 3 finally rolled around (which is where I am currently, I only have the one playthrough so far because I become INCREDIBLY attached to things), I stumbled across the Water Queen's House in Baldur's Gate. Ah ha! Now this felt promising.

A temple dedicated to the Vengeful Sea Goddess, Umberlee, and her loyal Wave Servants to serve her. It's ocean themed, it has mermaid undertones, and their goddess is basically evil. Seems like the perfect place to FINALLY insert this version of Birdie. I wasn't 100% sure until I completed the Iron Throne mission and was faced with either handing a (mostly) innocent man over to the Wave Servants, or fighting to defend him.

Here are a few of the slides from this week's powerpoint that I mentioned all the way back at the start, starting with SOME background on the Wave Servants:

Ass and Shart are what I affectionately call Astarion and Shadowheart (Also I got this beautiful "Birdie" art on Pinterest which originated from someone named Dantrelium on Reddit):

Apologies for the small text here, but there are some more details about THIS Birdie here, which I literally made up/figured out earlier this week:

Essentially, this Birdie was born at the Water Queen's House as Kittiwake Crest - Kittiwakes are common arctic birds, which I thought would be a nice little homage to the original character she was based off of. She was raised by the collective of Wave Servants there, the main one being Flood Tide Allandra Grey who seems to be head honcho at the Wave Mother's House (in this reality, she is).

Since Umberlee is such a vengeful goddess, I imagine she asked her Wave Servants to commit unspeakable acts in her name, mainly drownings, which THEY see as merciful, but I think Birdie always saw as horrifying. Who were they to decide the fates of others? I also think that the Wave Servants themselves were abusive during her upbringing to keep her in line (but much like how Nocturne was a light in the darkness for Shadowheart, I don't think EVERY Wave Servant was evil). GOTTA have a classic tragic backstory.

Upon researching Umberlee, I learned that most of her servants are clerics, so in my mind, that means Birdie was raised to eventually become one, with her official title eventually going to be "Seawind Kittiwake Crest." Is she still half-siren/mermaid though? Not entirely sure. This IS a magical world though, so I'd be inclined to say yes, probably.

But when we first meet the Wave Servants, they're singing beautifully for their drowned sister, Holli. I think Birdie REALLY loved music and singing with her sisters and secretly trained herself in bard magic when she should have been learning to be a cleric. It's also a classic trait of bards to hide their pain through humor, so I often imagine the type of stupid things Birdie gets up to to bring herself joy (my favorite headcanon being when you meet Skittle the Rat in Wyrm's Rock prison - he's a rat merchant who speaks exclusively in puns. I think Birdie and Gale would excitedly throw puns back and forth with Skittle while Astarion and Shadowheart begrudgingly (and affectionately) roll their eyes in the background).

Another thing I love about the game is how you can string together your own ideas of how companions react to things between big cut scenes. For example, in my head, in my game, Astarion has really become a Big Softy thanks to how fucking Stupid (affectionate) Birdie acts in life and has drawn him out of his shell, but also runs a tag team scam with her where she plays her lute to distract people while he loots an entire place. Gale is Birdie's partner in crime when it comes to tomfoolery and loves to joke and fool around with her (so long as it goes easy on his knees). And Shadowheart is basically a sister figure who flip flops between sassing with Astarion and joining in on the fun. THEY'RE JUST THE BEST, OKAY? OF COURSE I'M GONNA WALK AROUND WITH A BUNCH OF IDIOTS. I LOVE THEM.

Anyway, back to Birdie's backstory: she always hated the atrocities that were asked of her, and she was looking for a way out, but was too scared to take that step and leave since the Wave Mother's House is all she's ever known. One night, while stepping out to quietly dip her toes in the water, the Mindflayers captured her, and that's where we start Act One, all the way up on the Nautiloid. She changed her name to Birdie to distance herself from her previous life, fully took up the bard class, and the rest is history.

Back to that dilemma with handing over that (mostly) innocent guy or fighting the Wave Servants: with encouragement from the party, they convince Birdie to face her traumatic upbringing and fight the Wave Servants once and for all. At this point in Act 3, she's basically helped every single person with their problems except her own. Here's another slide featuring Ass and Birdie:

That's right folks, Birdie faced her past! But the bad news is we don't get to see Astarion in this (audio from The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction):

(Video description - Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3 wearing the Wave Mother's Armor with the following audio:

Guard 1: Whoa, check it out.

Guard 2: Hubba hubba hubba.

Gaurd 1: Nice. I love dudes in skirts.

END VIDEO.) I don't want to tell you how many times I recorded that until I felt like I got it right lol. Also yes, I DID do a scum save where I handed the guy over ONCE just so I could see Ass in this outfit, but Birdie did canonically save Redhammer in my actual save file.

And honestly, that's BASICALLY it for now! My most recent save was after that battle, so I need to figure out if Birdie's going to go back with her party to confront the rest of (or most of) the Wave Servants, or if this chapter of her life is closed.

In an ideal world I'd LOVE to make one of those artsy gif edits of my Tav like this and this, but PS5s make it hard to download clips without uploading them to YouTube first which I don't really want to do.

Thank you SO MUCH for this ask, I had a blast writing it!! Sorry it's so long, I just love this game so much and LOVE talking about it. Please feel free to ask more questions OR chat with me about YOUR Tav! I'd love to hear all about them :)

What are your favorite aspects of the readers you've written?

am i allowed to say everhtbing about them? hahaha

idk that’s such a difficult question because i love them all so much flaws and all. birdies my favorite only by virtue of being the first i suppose, my first born. but i think two things — mostly one, being the way she is in regards to joel which might seem like diminishing in terms of her being her own person but what i mean is like how understanding she is of him. like you know when you’re being absolutely foul and impossible to deal with and just ugly all around and you don’t want to be like that but you just can’t help it? like that’s joel in fog, he hates how he acts but won’t let himself stop and yet she’s patient and she understands him, but not without a backbone, and like i feel like a lot of us can be like him sometimes, i definitely can, and we just wish there was someone who could just give us a second to get through those growing pains and still be there at the end waiting for us. it’s unfair and selfish and whatever all those bad things but it’s also human she’s patient and kind and understanding and i wish i could be more like her :’) my second thing with her is the very real fact that she didn’t actually want to be a doctor she never wanted it and yet she still loves it and appreciates it in a very real and meaningful way, and excelled at it and gave it her everything. like she’s just good good good to her core and again, i wish i could be more like that myself.

someone’s wife, even though the story harps a great deal on her letting go of that aspect of herself, the fact that she’s a crier. like she lets herself feel her emotions, which might seem contrarian to her actions in the story bc for a long time she doesn’t let herself BE with joel but she feels everything so strongly and she’s emotional and vulnerable and i think that’s a good thing to be sometimes. i have a hard time being open like that so that’s why i wrote her as such

tcc little sith girl hehe i love how funny she is honestly she’s bratty and she does what she wants and she has bite but she’s still soft in her own ways when it counts. but mostly how funny she is :]

Hey, what was your favorite things about Skyward Sword? (btw I am playing through it rn and i have BIRBBRAIN, i am getting the seed for the Thunder Dragon lol)

Also, if you named your (link's) loftwing what did you name it?

(Mine is named Harp <3)

Harp aaahhhh I love that!! AND YAY YOU ARE PLAYING SKYWARD SWORD YES BEST ZELDA GAME EVER

SKSW LINK MY BABYYYYY

I actually never gave mine a name but I go with the general HC that Link calls him Crimson. I also made my own HC that Groose teased Link for the name and so to spite him, Zelda named hers Indigo. I also once saw a HC that Link named his Apple and I think that is absolutely adorable. But anyway, I usually just called mine Baby but I never really named him. I wish we had the option to do so in the game like with Epona in TP!! (I named her Peanut)

Now to the big question: my favorite things about Skyward Sword!! Eek so many, I’ll limit it to a few:

Skye’s/Lofty’s List of What is Awesome about Skyward Sword

The art style! The pastel colors are so pretty, the visuals are just so pleasing to the eyes, and they really pop in places like the ancient cistern or Faron woods when it’s flooded or Skyloft.

LINK. MY. BABY. He is just the sweetest iteration, and he was my third Link if ever met after BotW Link and OoT Link so he was definitely the most expressive. I think I fell in love with him as soon as he did that ADORABLE head tilt while reading Zelda’s letter akfucsjehgixhwufoc I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I was laughing SO HARD when everyone kept saying they were surprised he was awake like breakfast wasn’t even being served anymore this kid straight up sleeps until noon probably and it just made me think of me and every family trip we ever took that my family would bring me the hotel breakfast to the room because I’d sleep through breakfast and wake up at like 11 and I instantly related to him. Between that, his dry wit, his daydreaming nature, I literally was just checking boxes in how many ways I saw myself in him, and his relationship with Zelda is adorable and he lives in the sky with GIANT BIRDIES I love everything about this boy. Also that he came from a happy life with a support system because I’ve seen so many stories where the Hero has a Tragic Backstory (and I ain’t against those, Anakin Skywalker is my favorite Star Wars character and his backstory is definitely tragic and angsty lol), and I was blessed with a happy childhood and a family that loves me so I liked those characters but never really related but now here’s sleepyhead who is a normal zoned out kid like I was at his age who gets thrown into this insanity and just YES. Love him. Love love love him.

The music!! Skyward Sword sounds like it’s fully orchestrated and it’s just so pretty. Definitely my favorite rendition of both Zelda’s Lullaby and Fairy Fountain. It’s so whimsical and magical, the music really elevates this game. Koloktos theme!! Bamboo island!! Island in the Sky!! Faron Woods!! Fi!! So many great themes.

THE LORE! I made a whole post about this alone. The story is the mythology of Legend of Zelda and I absolutely adore that.

THE FACT THAT THEY LIVE IN THE SKY WITH BIRDIES

#I think I’ll stop there or I might find other things to fangirl over #I hope you’re having fun with the game!!#you ask Skye answers #lovely indigoartistqueen #skyward sword

re: choosing violence ask game, can i get a 12 or 22 for fire emblem? the exact game is your pick 👀

You may have both!

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

Well, I have said it before but MAN I adore Gilbert from 3H. He’s one of the best written characters in the game and I stand by that. He’s a rather realistic take on a depressed OLDER person which is something we pretty much never see. He did what he thought was best for his family and just wound up hurting them more. He’s failed so much, but he can learn that those failures don’t define him. He tells Ashe that Lonato should have cared for him over revenge! Like the only person to do so! His support with Byleth is rather sweet, he’s one of the few people to get through a bit to Dimitri. He’s a GOOD character and deserves more love!

That said he’s also a late recruit with a bad starting class and mediocre stats. So I get why that might put people off :\

Also! For a character who is basically ignored because they’re from FE6, I really like Elphin/Elffin. He’s got a little birdie in his spritework, he plays the harp, he’s got medical issues, he serves as a parallel to Zephiel, he’s one of those enigmatic guides. I think he deserves some love.

22. your favourite part of canon that everyone else ignores

Silver Snow okay it’s not ignored but it is my second favourite route and I like seeing the Eagles come into their own. Also I love the Nabateans.

#Ask #Thanks!

Deadpool Self Insert AU Dump

🖤❌ | Main Timeline: really just me with mutant powers right now sghsgh

📸❌️ | Celebrity/Bodyguard AU: Keaton Lilia is the fashion world's rising star mutant designer. The mysterious Deadpool, ex-mercenary, is his bodyguard. While Keaton's image for the public is a highly procured flavour of "take no shit, always speak your mind, but be charismatic about it," Deadpool knows the more casual, and anxious, side of him, and he loves the entire spectrum of Keaton's personality. If only he could confess without compromising his job and their professional relationship.

🎪🔒 | Mutant Circus AU: Neffie "Cygne Noir" Alehouse. In this AU, the Weapon X program is actually a fucked up travelling circus/carnival run by none other than Ajax himself, with the performers being unwilling mutants either captured or made by Ajax and his cronies. Neffie, otherwise known by the stage name "Cygne Noir" (Black Swan), is Ajax's pride and joy. Wade Wilson, now dubbed The Human Pincushion, is the most recent addition to the menagerie, and he's got an eye on his boss' "pretty birdy." Eventually, Wade will convince Neffie to run away with him, and hopefully lead a revolt against Ajax in the process.

🧍‍♂️🖤 | Just Some Guy AU: Keaton Harp. Completely normal human guy who gets pulled into Wade's shenanigans, funnily enough makes comics for a living, though there's definitely some angst potential because humans are fragile and also Wade will outlive him 1000% :[

Case 2

Story Masterlist

Previous >> Next

The journey to becoming the world’s best gynecologist didn't come without hardships: you were still going to be a resident for a few more years, so you had to deal with grueling hours, other residents you didn't like too much, and the constant worry you had when you thought about your husband. You wanted him to start getting out more, communicating with people other than yourself and Kiku, and enjoy the life they have before it’s too late. You hated overhearing your older colleagues that are well established in their careers talking about their marriages. You felt a tinge of jealously when you would overhear the fun the other women would have with their significant others: date nights to restaurants, trips to foreign lands, and even spa days. You weren’t keen on going to the spa as a regular occasion, so you don’t think about that much, but you wanted to know how it would feel to be taken out after a long shift at the hospital. To be wined and dined just because he wanted to show how much he loves you on a random day. The somber woman knows that her husband loves her more than you could muster, but you can't help but think how it would be to go on dates with Ron like you used to.

On your way into the hospital, you think about what kinds of desserts you were going to make for yourself and Ron, your heart racing a bit, harping on how this would be their first dinner together in a few weeks since you were swamped with overnight work at the bar which left less time you could spend with Ron, and that broke your heart tremendously. The smiling woman, lost in thought as you carefully walk through the double doors, failed to notice the other female residents flock around you like a pack of lady harpies. The onslaught startled the absentminded woman as you practically jumped out of your skin.

“Umm, what’s going on?” you asked, looking around to see that they were giving you the widest grins you can think of, and it bothered you tremendously. Before you could ask again, one of the residents spoke up, “A little birdy told us that you have a wedding anniversary coming up!” she exclaimed happily. You just looked at the giddy woman with a confused look. How did they know that? Who could have told them? I don't even wear my rings here. your thoughts were scrambling in your head at the same moment that you realized you didn't want to seem weird for not answering right away. “A-ah yeah! Y-yeah, m-my anniversary is in two months…” you said in a quiet tone you rarely use, but because they were insistent on being in your business, you didn’t know how to deal with them and their questions.

The girls couldn't keep their smiles for long, seeing how they turned red from the pain, but you smiled anyway. “So,” the same girl started, “do you have any plans for the big day, or do you think your husband is going to surprise you?” she asked, with everyone staring at you impatiently, waiting for what you had to say. You looked at the girls and sighed, knowing you’re going to spend your anniversary the same as every year; at home with a bottle of wine, a short phone call with your husband, and whatever is on tv that night. I'm happy with whatever I can get from Ron, he makes me happy. You thought to yourself, trying to keep yourself that sometimes you’re not as happy as you make yourself appear in front of others. You don’t want to lie because that'll be trying to figure out another lie to cover your tracks if you get caught in that lie; it's just way too much work, thinking it’s better to tell the truth. “No, we aren’t going out. Instead, we will be home that night with a special dinner and some tv. With my residency, we felt like doing something like this would be better.” you admitted, half lying, feeling like a hypocrite at that moment. This one proves to be much more believable. The girls buy the half-lie and smile, everyone tensing up a bit when they are yelled at to meet the rest to go over duties for the day. The married woman just smiled and headed off to do her job.

After what seemed like a full 24 hours on the job, the tired woman was free from her residential duties and was excited to head to your husband’s place to start dinner and discuss what you both plan on doing for the weekend. As you approach your husband’s front door after the excruciating drive over to the complex, you can't help but hear the faint sounds of words being exchanged. It made you place your ear on the front door to try and distinguish the voices in the apartment. You can easily tell one of them is Ron's voice, but the other one, not so much. You didn’t want to dwell on figuring it out, so you just inserted your key and opened the door. Once inside, you were greeted with the presence of your husband and the detective you saw before you went to work. Your eyes were wide for a second before they returned to their idle stare along with a cheerful smile. You didn’t know what was going on, but this was the first person, other than Kiku, who came to visit Ron and was able to set foot inside his apartment. This was progress, and who are you to stop that from happening?! You were extremely excited.

“Good evening! I’m Ron’s wife; nice to meet you!” you exclaimed, feeling like you were too cheerful towards your husband’s potential friend. There was a slight blush donning your cheeks, trying not to think about it too much as you extended your hand; the shorter male, not wasting any time to take your hand and shook it.

“Oh, h-hi! My name is Isshiki Totomaru; nice to meet you, Mrs. Kamonohashi!” he replied just as cheery. You let out a small sigh, relieved that you weren’t the only one excited about the meeting. “So, what business do you have with my husband?” you ask, making your way over to the kitchen and beginning to prep for dinner, now thinking that you’re going to be making enough for three; not that you minded, of course.

“Oh, I’m here to ask your husband for help. You see, there is a case that I am work–” Isshiki stopped himself once he noticed that you dropped the knife you were holding on the ground. Your eyes were full of panic as you slowly looked over to Ron, who was just staring at the ground. He didn't want to look at you because he knew what you were thinking and about to say.

“I-is that right… Ron, do you think you will be okay? D-do you want me to come with you?” you asked, trying to hide the dread in your voice, but Ron was able to pick up even the slightest drip of it when it escaped your lips. Nothing can get past him when it comes to you; he knows you too well.

“I think so, it is alright if you come if you feel like that would ease your heart, babe.”

The knife was long forgotten about as you began running scenarios through your brain with what could possibly happen when the case gets solved. You already knew that with Ron's help that there was no way he wouldn't be able to figure out who the culprit was, but between the three of you here, only two of you know what happens when he does, and that scared you more than anything. Isshiki didn’t know what to make of this conversation as he was out of the loop of who and what Ron was really capable of, but that didn’t stop him from trying to get the help he needed. His life and job are on the line here.

“I wouldn’t mind you coming along if that means you want to ensure the safety of your husband,” he said, easing your heart even if just marginally.

You looked over at Ron, who was now looking at you, his eyes full of determination and hustle. You can’t deny his calling, and this would be the perfect opportunity for him to get back into doing what he loves. Five years was long enough; why try and keep him down when you know this’ll bring him happiness? With a gentle sigh, you looked back over at the detective with eyes now full of resolve.

“Alright then, let's go.”

Surely they would get over any minor bother. And it balances out to be less hurt overall if that little birdie can't share upsetting things about you with them going forward.

I’m growing tired of you faceless cretins harping on things that don’t concern you. Why don’t you all focus on something more constructive than bothering me.

hey my quest to understand what bi lesbian means even has been answered with "tme people are usually being transphobic or biphobic, tma people are usually referring to being t4t for other tma people regardless of specific gender identity, there are exceptions obvi" which i comprehended from a post about boycock. i feel like the clouds have parted and light has shined upon me and little birdies chirped to bless me with an understanding so i can stop harping on this mentally. thank you tumblr gods for the horny furry post finally helping me understand.

#i got so used to cis lesbians saying theyre bi lesbian bcuz trans men have vaginas #or “im bi but im better and more sapphic than other bi people”#i finally understand

En Eski Türk Topçu Alayının Marşını Yazan Adam: Muzaffer Tuğsavul 1

Çanakkale’de bir caddenin ismi Tuğsavul Caddesi’dir. Peki, neden bir caddeye bu isim verildi? Bu hafta Muzaffer Tuğsavul’un Çanakkale ile olan hikâyesini ele alalım. Ama olaya Muzaffer Tuğsavul’un asker olması sebebiyle bu noktadan konuya giriş yapalım. Hiç şüphesiz Türkiye’de “En eski Topçu Türk Alayı hangisidir?” diye sorulsa, farklı farklı cevaplar alınacaktır. Bazıları Çanakkale Savaşları’nın meşhur piyade alaylarının numaralarını sıralayacak, bazıları da Kurtuluş Savaşımızın unutulmaz milis alaylarının isimlerini dile getireceklerdir. Ama hiç şüphesiz modern Türk Ordusu kurulurken ve ordu takım, bölük, tabur, alay, tugay, tümen, kolordu ve ordu biçimde şekillendirilirken ilk kurulan topçu alayı 1’nci Topçu Alayı’dır. O nedenle de sıra numarası birdi. Bu alayın marşını yazan kişi aynı zamanda 1’nci Topçu Alayı’nın komutanlığını da yapmış ve cumhuriyet döneminde Alay Komutanı iken Alay Sancağı kendisine Cumhurbaşkanı Mustafa Kemal adına tevdi edilmişti. Peki, kimdir bu kişi? İsmi Muzaffer Tuğsavul… Muzaffer Tuğsavul’un ismi pek çok şehrimizde sokaklara, caddelere, okullara, parklar ve kışlalara verilmişti. Önce kısa hayat hikâyesine bakalım ve sonra da Muzaffer Tuğsavul’un hikâyesini anlatalım. Muzaffer Tuğsavul, 1894 yılında Bingazi’de doğmuş, 1914 yılında Kara Harp Okulu’ndan, mezun olarak Osmanlı Ordusu’nda subay olarak Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda yer almıştı. Savaş sonrasında Mustafa Kemal önderliğinde Ankara’da kurulan Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Hükümeti’nin Ordularına iltihak etmiş, 26 Ağustos’ta başlayan Büyük Taarruz’a Kurmay Binbaşı rütbesi ile 14’ncü Süvari Tümeni Kurmay Başkanlığı görevi ile iştirak etmişti. 1925 yılında Harp Akademisi’nden mezun olarak kurmay subay olmuştu.1939 yılına kadar çeşitli rütbe ve görevlerde bulunduktan sonra 30 Ağustos 1939’da tuğgeneralliğe yükselmişti. Tuğgeneralliğe terfi ettiği sene kendisiyle birlikte daha sonra Türk Ordusu’nda üst düzey görevlerde bulunacak kişiler ile Türk siyasetinin önde gelen şahsiyetler vardı. Bunlardan Arif Tanyeri, Fahri Belen, Sadık Aldoğan, Asım Tınaztepe, Fevzi Mengüç ilk akla gelenlerdi. Korgeneralliğe yükselenler arasında ise Ali Rıza Artunkal, Nuri Yamut ve Amiral Şükrü Okan ilk dikkati çekenlerdi. Muzaffer Tuğsavul, 1939 yılında Tuğgeneralliğe terfi ederek önce Çanakkale Topçu Komutanlığı ve daha sonra da Çanakkale Müstahkem Mevki Komutanlığı görevine atanmıştı. Tuğsavul, 1941 yılında tümgeneralliğe terfi etmişti. Tümgeneral rütbesi ile 69’ncu Tümen Komutanlığı ve 2’nci Ordu Müfettişliği Kurmay Başkanlığı görevlerini yürütmüş, rütbesi 1944 yılında korgeneralliğe yükseltilmişti. Korgeneral rütbesi ile 2’nci Kolordu Komutanlığı, Genelkurmay Eğitim Yarbaşkanlığı ve Genelkurmay 2’nci Başkanlığı görevlerinde bulunmuş, 1948 yılında orgeneral olmuştu. Orgeneral rütbesi ile 2’nci Ordu Müfettişliği ve Yüksek Askeri Şura üyeliği görevlerinde bulunmuştu. 1281 sayılı kanunun 1’nci maddesi gereğince 27 Ocak 1952 - 15 Mayıs 1952 tarihleri arasında kısa süre İzmir Valiliği görevinde bulunmuş, görevde iken 15 Mayıs 1952 günü Sakız Adası’ndan gelen bir Yunan Heyeti’ne Kadifekale Gazinosu’nda Belediye Başkan Vekili tarafından verilen akşam yemeği sırasında saat 21.30’da kalp krizi geçirerek vefat etmişti. Cenazesi 17 Mayıs 1952 günü İzmir’de düzenlenen törenden sonra uçakla Ankara’ya getirilmiş ve burada yapılan törenden sonra da Cebeci Şehitliğinde toprağa verilmişti.
