something i appreciate very much about baldur's gate 3 is the way it doesn't try to sand down its characters edges to make them fit into their roles as victims of their past better. it doesn't make them soft and sad and scared at the expense of their other, sometimes less palatable traits. even though the things people have done to them have molded them, they're still full people beyond that, warts and all.

karlach, for example, was an unwilling soldier for ten years. but she still loves fighting. smashing heads is often her first answer to any problem, because it's what she knows, and she's not ashamed of that. she's good at killing, and she's proud of it. ask her about killing devils! she gets so into the details that she forgets what you were even talking about.

astarion's been through two hundred years of hell and barely even knows who he is any more, and he's so terrified of losing his freedom that he's willing to hurt anyone (including himself) to try to protect it, but he's also just genuinely a huge bitch. not even in a 'pushing people away so they can't get close' way, he's just kind of a dick! and that's wonderful.

and gale's the last one i'll talk about for now because this is getting long. he was groomed by the literal goddess of magic and cast out for trying to prove himself to her by helping her, left to slowly and painfully die and endanger all those around him, then told to kill himself for redemption in her eyes, and he was down enough on himself to believe this was fair! but also! he is hubristic and arrogant and absolutely thinks that yeah 'rip to everyone else who reached too far for godhood and doomed themselves and others in the process but i'm different'. he's a disaster.

i'm just go glad larian gave us these characters that aren't just poor little snookumses. they have the range

Welcome to my Blog!

Hey! My name is Nia, I’m twenty years old from the UK and I am the owner of this blog. I basically talk shit (sometimes good - sometimes bad) about games, tv and film! I analyse story line and details as-well as writing my own works to fix what needs to be fixed! (I chose to ignore canon🥰)

I really like animals (especially Rats and Cats), games, vinyl collecting, skulls, snakes and I’m a hugeeee swiftie. Talk to me about Taylor Swift! I have over 5 piercings and 4 tattoos and counting. My asks are always open and I’m always open to make new mutuals! I’m an avid shipper of Ghostsoap and a Kyle Garrick Simp.

Ask me questions about anything! I will be sure to answer to the best of my ability.

And as always,

Thank you for flying with the Nia Airlines - I hope you enjoy your stay!🖤💀🧼

Sorry for disappearing for a bit there! My college semester is starting and I've been moving back into my dorm room.

This being said I might have moments like this during the semester where I am not active for a bit. Don't worry my blog isn't dead, I just got busy with my school work!

I want to try and be more consistent and post at least once or twice a week!

can i speak my truth ? can i keep it real ? there shouldve been more in-party conflict in blades 2. like obviously mc should’ve gotten to cuss mal out in particular when he was like You Dont Know What We’ve Been Thru as if getting kidnapped and forced into a magically induced coma and getting your blood stolen and having constant benadryl nightmares is a walk in the park lmfao, and also just gotten to talk more about what they went through and how it’s impacted them

but also there should’ve been way more beef between the other party members. like girl if i’m nia and i’m spiralling scorning sleep and food constantly hunting for a way to free MY GIRLFRIEND (!!) from the clutches of some goth elf cunt on top of making the fantasy catholic church christlike again and repressing my inner shadow demon and one of my friends is like “hesdeadjim.png give up also fuck you” and then fucked off to be an alcoholic pit fighter, i wouldve actually just thrown hands when we saw each other next. no magic no nothing just me and my nasty little fingers (covered in paper cuts from all the arcane shadow tomes ive been reading) coming straight for her eye sockets. staff of silverlake should’ve been nia’s weapon and she should’ve leapt into the pit in chapter 4 and clocked imtura in the skull with it.

like you bitches should be CRAZY!!!! you should all have DISORDERS!!!! you should be begging ravens perched on busts for RESPITE AND NEPENTHE from your memories of me !!!!!! the moon should never beam without bringing you dreams of ME and the stars never rise but you feel MY bright eyes. tyril should be half-mad with grief and stress he should be mumbling to himself and seeing mc’s silhouette in dark corners. nia should be clearly and obviously off her fucking rocker and constantly on the verge of self destructing and taking us all out with her. imtura should be constantly blind drunk so she doesn’t have to feel her grief or anything at all really. mal should have been in the wind the second it started looking like mc wasn’t coming back and nobody’s heard from him in months. kade should be in a bottomless pit of grief bc when he was stuck in the shadow realm we never gave up hope and we went to rescue him but now that the tables are turned he’s slowly losing hope and day by day and night by night we recede and he becomes more faithless. threep and loola should be inseparable sleeping in a pile together never beyond a wing-length from one another and keeping obsessive tabs on all the other party members no matter how far-flung across morella they are because they’ve already lost everyone and everything they knew to the shadow court once and they’ll be damned if they lose anything else. also kade and aerin should’ve built up a weird semihostile rapport bc once everything fell apart and everyone went their separate ways it was just the two of them in the whitetower palace and kade would go to his cell and sit out of arm’s reach to vent about his time in the shadow realm and his grief and hopes and fears. they both knew and loved mc, in their own ways, despite how aerin hurt them, and now they’ve both lost them, maybe for good. maybe one day aerin starts talking back

where is the SPICE where is the FLAVOUR? where’s the DRAMA where’s the OOMPH where’s the PANACHE? you cannot look at me and tell me these dysfunctional bitches wouldn’t fall back into their worst habits once the one person who held them all together up and vanished into the void. why am i not ending each chapter feeling like i’ve just gotten punched in the dick bc the love is so obviously still there and that’s why it hurts so bad. they should’ve put their whole budget and pussies into forcing the party to fit themselves back together even though they’ve all grown new sharp edges and keep cutting each other up. they should’ve gone full dark no stars about it. grief is an amputation but hope is incurable hemophilia you bleed and bleed and bleed, plants that are split down the middle dont heal they die, you are a language i am no longer fluent in but still remember how to read, what lived and died between us haunts me still, if someone asked me at the end i’d tell them “put me back in it”, i care what ghosts think of me, come back even as a shadow even as a dream, someone has to leave first this is a very old story there is no other ending to this story, etc, etc, you get it you understand. also the mc should’ve come back WRONG.

I was imagining something like a Smash Reunion Party where everyone's families were also invited, but regardless of the scenario I can see Mario staying in touch with fellow Fighters and celebrating important moments with them. Such is the way of Mr. Nintendo. :>

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

Heyy —

Do you have any head canons or thoughts on Apollo’s relationship with Athena and Hera? I’ve always thought that Apollo was Athena’s favorite brother and that Apollo was Hera’s favorite stepson (LMAOO if she had to pick ofc).

(tbh that’s probably bias speaking for the Hera part BUT SEE THE VISION OKAY. In a happier world, she would totally mother him at every chance she could get.)

Okay so I DO actually have a post on Athena & Apollo already! You can find it here :3

AND AS FOR HERA-

Let us begin.

I DO IN FACT BELIEVE APOLLO IS HERA'S FAVORITE STEPSON. LIKE HEAR ME OUT.

It is MYTH CANON that she thinks he has fine as fuck hair. like his hair is worth 10,000 dollars Regina George style. she called him up to laugh at zeus as he stole away with Europa in the form of a bull and was like 'HOW FUNNY WOULD IT BE IF YOU WENT AND SHEPHERDED YOUR DAD RIGHT NOW. TREAT HIM LIKE THE BULL HE IS.' and in that same conversation calls Apollo 'my fine archer'.

like. that alone is pretty convincing evidence that while she's not like. FOND of him, he is probably her favorite stepchild XD

definitely her favorite twin. because she literally beat the shit out of Artemis during the Trojan War with her own bow. and called her a hussy. poor artemis </3

but anyway. post-toa would be the start of being on the mend i think. to an extent.

i affectionately call them 'stepduo' and that's actually my main tag for them hehe

and there's no doubt in my mind that when Revolution comes...they are on the same side :)

#the oracle speaks #stepduo #shout out to nia in the discord for helping me find my athena post #otherwise i would have had to backread to SEPTEMBER 22ND SOBBING #apollo #the trials of apollo #pjo apollo #lester papadopoulos #pjo athena #pjo hera

very normal about how, if you look closely, you can tell astarion's shirt is dirty and aged and rumpled. it's slightly shiny in a way only threadbare fabric gets. it's a white shirt but the colour is mottled, in some places closer to grey. and while he takes great pains to repair it and keep it looking as good as he can manage, the signs of damage are on display for anyone who cares to look close enough.

a lot like astarion himself.

I chapter 3 of book 1, MC, Nia and Mal have the encounter with the little pickpocket girl and visit one of the outposts of the Thieves Guild, where they witness the horrible conditions that the impoverished kids are forced to live in. And in chapter 3 of book 2, MC, Nia and Mal visit the orphanage built by Nia and Mal, a place where orphaned kids don't need to steal to survive and can just have a normal childhood. Cinematic parallels.

i want you to see these two friends i found at a garage/antique sale today.

they are bookends and they immediately reminded me of Gog and Magog from Patty's Place and i have named them Bubble and Gum. I was explaining the Gog and Magog Anne reference to my roommates and family members, but I wanted to show at least one person who would get it straight off the bat 😊

Love!!!!!! Bubble and Gum! Oh how sweet!

To quote a very small Walter Blythe "this one is God and this one is My God"

Funny also bc gog and magog are ancient nations mentioned in the old testament in the book of Ezekiel and here is a doodle from my Bible :)

Would people mind ( or care ) if I revised and posted some short stories from my blog on this one? It's been bugging them not seeing them on here for some reason lol. Plus, i've been having a writers block and I think revising some of them might put me back into the writing mood.

#if nobody responds i'll probably just do it #plus i'm thinking that some of the people that only know me from this blog has never seen them #and i want to share them with you guys! #nia speaks
