My Durge and new names: at the beginning of the game, when she discovered her true nature, and when she was finally free of her Bhaal’s influence.

Also my Durge is a bard and I thought I was real funny huh

Finally done with this jfjdjfjd been fleshing out Phyx and Cazna outside of bg3 canon lately, Phyx still struggling with his durge (and still rolling terribly otherwise) I have more lore of these two to draw out soon!

I'm perfectly normal about these two. Idk what your talking about

All I'm saying is I would pay so much money to play through the heist of the crown with these two.

#basically i just need more dark urge/gortash content #but like can he just take a bath for once #its my guys coronation and he looks like he just went rolling in a mud bath #one day i will stop obsessing over this ship #but today is not that day #enver gortash #gortash x durge #bg3 gortash #bg3 #durge

Sound on, and go try to recruit Karlach first in some game to see what she has to say about everyone else <3

silly but,, i saw a post going around with that passage and well. visiting halsin post epilogue, plenty of room for this joke to happen lmao you're always considered a young man when you're with full elves i guess!!!

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #astarion #halsin #tavstarion #tavhalstarion #the book is floating idk. i didnt think all 2 hard about this but the idea wouldnt leave me when i saw that picture lmao #aster's tattoos? off the dome as usual #does tumblr allow figure drawing level bare asses. we'll see i guess #i didnt actually do the poly romance route with aster even tho i love halsin lol #wanted to play aster as basically just very wholeheartedly devoted to astarion #especially with durge shit going on at the time too #post game though i def imagine they have something sweet with halsin #when theyre in the area that is lol #itseart

[donottouchredbutton]

it has the potential to be really funny that you can choose what class you are playing as the dark urge still bc it’s just like… durge has zero memories of their life before the nautiloid except The Urge so they have no idea what their abilities/powers are which in story can be really entertaining

it’s like “yeah i don’t know who i am but i have this weird urge to kill everything i see and i’m trying to convince my companions i’m Normal, but i think the strangest thing about this is that i just figured out i could turn into a wolf which is pretty cool”

#based on my durge who is a druid who can use wild shape #i just think it’s funny that in story it’s just you and your new group of friends basically seeing what you can do and being like #huh… so that’s what it does #just a thought #baldurs gate 3 #baldurs gate dark urge #baldurs gate 3 dark urge #baldurs gate 3 durge #bg3 durge #bg3 dark urge #bg3

Do you think you'll chronicle any further runs after you finish with Croissant? I'd be interested to see your take on things that they didn't encounter, like the Dark Urge and Companion Minthara

Probably not! I've loved making the Croissant comics, but it's been a huge undertaking and it's been basically the only thing I've drawn for months now. I don't know if I'd be ready to document an entire run a second time, BUT there's definitely the opportunity for some drawings/one-offs for any future runs I might do.

#my friends have been waiting for me to finish up for ages so we can do a co-op run gnjkfdlnshjkh #I'm planning to roll up...basically the antithesis of Croissant. Just a horrible wet rat of a guy. Can't wait #I'm also not....SO opposed to a durge run anymore but I do know most of the major story beats since I didn't try to avoid spoilers for it. #We'll see! #I'm not someone who tends to play games multiple times but for BG3 I will make an exception #Speaking of playing games twice I saw the elden ring DLC trailer today CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT

Saw some new mods and had to test thing them by making a new Durge

Mods used

P4 Bangs Bangs Everywhere

Cyrus is his name, he uses voice 3, and currently a bard but I might switch it. He was gonna be an embrace the urge for Minthara but idk yet. Gale has recently been on my mind cause of my Wyll playthrough so I didn't unalive Gale. Also Astarion has been saying a lot of new things to this durge which is confusing me why he's acting invested but I only romance vampire boy once so I'm tempted to romance him now.....

While I get why they didn't include it (because 4e fucked with the tieflings and now we have archdevil tieflings and the og hereditary tieflings in the same space, and the former are hogging the limelight) I think it would've been interesting to have Bhaal tieflings as a subrace option. They wouldn't look as flashy as the others - no horns, no technicolour skin or tail, for example (unless their mortal parent was a tiefling who looked like that, I guess) - but they would be highly inclined towards violence and murder. Deity descended planetouched are known for having birthmarks in the shape of their ancestor's holy sumbol, so maybe they'd have the Circle of Tears, or a bone dagger marked somewhere on their skin.

I mean, Durge's origin pretty much covers everything they'd bring to the table, so it's obsolete, but the thought stays in my head:

The first generation Bhaalspawn did reproduce: Abazigal had at least one son; Yaga-Shura was attempting to create half-giant progeny; most of the romance epilogues feature children (this was intentional, the original BG3 was supposed to have Charname's child as the protagonist, apparently). There were hundreds of Bhaalspawn who reached adulthood; many of them would've had the opportunity to marry or have children, knowingly or accidentally.

I've said this before, but again, the offspring of a quasi-deity and a mortal is a tiefling, genasi or aasimar and the divine blood may go dormant and activate generations down the line too. It's also not unknown for the planetouched to become pawns in their ancestor's games, and entire lineages (not simply the first half-outsider child alone) may be created intentionally.

Notably, Abazigal's son Draconis - a grandchild of Bhaal, and not a demigod - was not part of the giant prophecy his father, aunts and uncles were drowning the world in blood over (except as a pawn of his own half-mortal father, anyway). These planetouched mortal children would've been passed over unharmed and unnoticed (too unimportant on the divine stage). I wonder how many of Bhaal's grandchildren and great-grandchildren are running around? How many cousins might Orin have? How many nieces and nephews might have Bhaal's strings tied around them? Is resist Durge going to leave behind their sister/niece drama only to run into another one in the future?

(I am aware that it appears BG3 has ignored/handwaved away the existence/possibility of these guys: I don't care. BG2 left these plot threads and I will be taking then and running off with it.)

#There is no escape from awkward family reunions Durge: I WILL introduce you to your nieces nephews and cousins #Probably while you're killing each other #I'm just saying Larian; you missed out on a much bigger potential drama with dozens of 2nd and 3rd generation bhaalspawn #...also I'm going to be honest 2nd/3rd gen Bhaalspawn would've created less plot holing than Durge as a 1st gen #I love them as they are but it would've been less of a grenade to the face of the pre-established lore #...why do I always misspell Abazigal's name? #Is this babbling or lore stuff? #babbling #/durge #/orin #Tangent: life would be easier if the planetouched had been a template or something not a race #Instead of splitting it into tiefling/fey'ri/tanarruk/etc/etc - which are all basically the same

hes just a little guy (a crazed murderer trying desperately to suppress his natural urge to kill)

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #oc: daveth #that one tiktok audio that's like #HE WAS THE BEST GUY AROUNDDDDDDDDDD #what about the people he murdered? #WHAT MURDAAAAAAAAAA? #me talking about daveth #maybe hes a murderer to you but to me hes just misunderstood hes just a guy. i forgive him for murdering all those ppl #dark urge run is really fun im glad i caved n made this save <3 #im basically done w the game in amarie's save anyways so if for some reason i make it to act 3 with durge before i beat the game w amarie #i'll just finish it in her save real quick. yeah yeah #will i ever beat this game idk i mean really whos to say #🌱

WARNING: Spoilers for Act 3

I don't really have much BG3 friends irl and I have a lot of thoughts that I cannot put into proper writing yet so I'll just post it here:

As much as I love the idea of giving Astarion an item that allows him to walk in the sun (my durge also does that, bcs in my headcanon the "Sunwalker's Gift" is the perfect item to do just that) I just want to talk about one other thing that Astarion mentions about being a vampire that I don't see a lot of people posting about: the aspect of hunger.

In one of his conversations with a Dark Urge PC, he mentions being unable to speak and think clearly when he wasn't able to feed for a long time because the hunger deprives him of reason. During one of the post-Cazador dialogues, too (if you kill Cazador without him, regardless if you're DU or Tav) he talks about being condemned to an eternity of hunger without being able to make a choice about it. Freedom to choose and consent is a major theme in Astarion's story, and with Cazador gone, that hunger then becomes the primary contender for his ability to choose for himself, because that hunger can literally rob him of reason when left unchecked.

Yes, he's also a murder hobo and wouldn't even blink twice if he had to kill someone, especially if it's for the sake of keeping himself safe and well-fed. At the moment, considering that our Tav/Durge is also a willing Personal Juicebox™ for his twink ass, then the guy is pretty much food secure. However, I don't think that later on in their relationship, he'd be comfortable with continuing that arrangement with their partner - whether it's due to old age/sickness on Tav's part, or some sort of self-realization that we can all only headcanon about. Him hunting down criminals/vagrants/random strangers also inadvertently puts Tav and whatever home they've made in danger, as someone at some point will want to hunt the vampire that killed their friend/family/workmate/what-have-you. Idk maybe some mofo with a strong sense of justice will also eventually go after his ass because he's a total menace to society.

Fighting is not a problem, or at least at first. Tav can fight. Tav literally led the group into fucking up an Elder Brain ffs, so what's a couple of vampire hunters and/or vengeful band of misfits, amiryt? But again, it will be kinda tiring to have to always be on guard, because someone might just kill you and the love of your life because you fed on someone else's. Also, again, he can fight for as long as he needs to, but what about Tav? Esp if our Tavs are not from long-lived races.

Part of getting Astarion's life back has to not only include making him able to stand in the sun again, but also ridding him of that hunger. Vampiric hunger can be an all-consuming thing that could put both him and his lover in significant danger. Whether he as a character would want to address this is a matter of our personal interpretations as fans/writers/artists, but I personally want to see more of this aspect of his vampirism being explored in fan works.

Anyway, I have said too many words. Maybe I need to finally give in and go hunting in Ao3 for this type of content. But for now, I slep 🙃

I...kinda want to give Nine a hug. Would that end poorly for me?

I mean....... I personally don't recommend you get anywhere near this dude if possible, just yesterday he had to coach himself for half an hour into not finding killing a child funny. Literally smiled at the thought of a kid getting killed in front of him and then had to go 'wait no nine that's a bad thing' so that should tell you how things are going inside that noggin'

#he's literally batshit insane so if you want to take your chances with hugging him maybe it will go well or maybe it won't who's to say!!!!! #he's basically a living time bomb who knows what nine will do or say! #i appreciate the affection though i really love drawing him he's just a weirdo #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate iii #bg3 oc #bg3 tav #bg3 durge #bg3 dark urge #dark urge #sketch #sketches #myart #myoc #myocs #nine

What if all the versions of your Tav characters from different playthroughs were actually aboard the nautiloid together? The only reason one survived the crash over another was solely based on the random choice of where their pod was placed (or maybe deliberately picked by the mindflayer in the beginning). Maybe when you run into the room where you see the mindflayer transformation on the nautiloid, you literally run past their pod. They just weren't lucky enough to survive the crash (hence why you can turn them into a hireling, withers could still see their potential)

#basically your never ending character creation is forming an idea of just who was abducted by the mindflayers #i like the idea that my copious amount of characters somehow all exist in the same point in time #bg3 #tav #durge
