do I dare post my thoughts about Astarion's reactions to the polyamory options... do I...

#i am 100% in support of polyamory #but #astarion so clearly does /not/ want to be in a polyamorous relationship #and considering the circumstances #how he self-admittedly has difficulty saying no and how he's used to pleasing others so that they'll stick around #it just. doesn't sit right. with the fact that he's clearly going along with things because tav wants them. #several people even say that he's not comfortable with sharing; shadowheart and minthara do #so while i'm all for polyamory and i love the fact there's poly options— i'm not for making astarion do something he isn't into doing

I feel so crazy when people say they switch from one li to another for blades cause what do you MEAN you don’t romance everyone

#like personally they’re all in a polyamorous relationship #TO ME #cause this is mcs girlfriend imtura and imtura’s girlfirend nia and nia’s boyfriend mal and mal’s boyfriend tyril #don’t get me wrong aerin and valax are there too but I didn’t know how to fit them in #anyways I wish I could make anonymous post but I’m also not that much of a coward so #bolas #blades of light and shadow #god I love aerin #what am I talking about #EVERY FLIRT OPTION I SEE I TAKE #the real way to play d*d #censored because I don’t want them to get tricked by my post

Reddit scrolling in the middle of the day is already a bad idea, but doing it in the BG3 subreddit is choosing one of two paths where you either read the same bad joke, or fall into a pile of knives reading people's absurd rants

ignore my own absurd rant in the tags I'm different and special

#the number of 'why karlach peg?' and 'buh buh buh my shadowheart isn't pure and virginal' posts are unreal #these dudes struggling to figure out the difference between 'ok with group sex and experiencing something unique' and 'polyamorous' #she doesn't even suggest it unless YOU pick these options #it all gives off the most unhinged 'my partner cannot ever have fantasies' vibes #my brother in Ao you have to actively walk into a situation where you share your partners lmao #i ain't poly and you know what i did #i just didn't click that dialogue #quelle surprise #i talked to halsin constantly too #all she ever said was he was hot same as karlach #how is this a problem lmao #and for the people that want to have their Sword Coast Polycule then fuck it why not let them have some fun???

[caracello]

i can't believe she canonically wants a trophy husband.

#w Would you consider a trophy wife. i can whimper. #crushposting #considering the option of polyamorous sue because she wants a trophy husband -> she has 10million trophies -> i'm biased -> ? #i mean she's like canonically bigoted. but that's okay.

[raan-miir-tah]

I knew Gale was monogamous but Haslin asked and I wanted to see his dialogue,,,, idfc how cute him immediately thinking you're talking about having a baby is wdym his reaction is "you arent a slice of bread to be dived up!" JUST SAY NO LIKE A NORMAL PERSON??? the polyphobia what if I died

#kyne shouts #WHEN I CATCH YOU WRITER WHO WROTE THAT LINE #WRITER WHO WROTE THAT LINE WHEN I CATCH YOU #*shakes the game priding itself on having polyamory as an option* have normal opinions on polyamorous people #make the characters say things that don't make me want to crawl into a hole and die

[crimeronan]

so all this polyam posting (not just from you, but I figured you'd find it funny) has made me realize I'm probably polyam. congrats! yall transed my... something?

HAHAHAH. welcome to the gang! i was literally JUST thinking "you know, a Lot of my friends have realized they're polyamorous after becoming friends with me or one of my partners..... it's like when everyone in a friend group transes their gender after that one initial person takes the plunge"

honestly i think that polyamory -- as in, having strong feelings for multiple people at once -- is WAY more common/normal than most people believe. and also that healthy polyamorous relationships are awesome and vital and not NEARLY as difficult to maintain as a lot of people think.

when i came out as polyamorous to my mom & told her about my other partners, she said (in her email back, i came out over text when living long-distance), "the human heart has an infinite capacity for love. we don't stretch it enough"

and that's stuck with me for over seven years. like. damn!!! that sure is the feeling!!

#replies #if you've always found it kinda incomprehensible or upsetting that there's supposed to be The One #or A One #who provides all romantic/sexual/emotional needs and is your only romantic/sexual/emotional option forever #then.... well. u may indeed simply be polyamorous #polyamory

[wickedsnack]

on my hands and knees begging larian to make the polyamory more involved in bg3. i know it's too late but i can dream.

i just don't think it should be that Characters A and B are the only 2 that are open to polyamory but they're open to it regardless. That doesn't mean there's "polyamory optionS" that means there is one (1) polyamorous option (singular).

I think it should be Characters A and B are open to polyamory regardless. Character C is open to polyamory with A and/or D, but nobody else. Character E is not open to polyamory. Characters F and G are open to polyamory with everyone except each other. Character D is open to polyamory if certain requirements are met w/ both MC and the other character.

e.g. if Wyll's going to say "I might share some venison stew with [Character] but not a dance partner." i think there should be someone he would share a dance partner with. (it's karlach i think he should be open to polyamory with karlach)

e.g. Lae'zel and Shadowheart should not be open to polyamory with each other.

e.g. Shadowheart should be open to polyamory if you've completed [REDACTED] portion of her personal quest.

#bg3 #lou plays bg3 #an argument could be made that this is too complicated #i am not a programmer so maybe it is but if you're going to say there's polyamorous optionS #i simply think you should give polyamorous optionS #bg3 spoilers #just in case i guess

[cassieroo]

People will hear “I’m in love with two people” and think that’s a character flaw to overcome 🤨

#polyamory #this post was inspired by: #1. Schmidt being punished by the narrative for being poly in season 3 of new girl #and 2. someone in a video essay about euphoria implying that if the plotline with Jules and Anna in euphoria would have been continued #(to be fair it should’ve I love Anna) #it would involve Jules having to pick between Anna and Rue #anyway I just hate that monogamy is just taken as the one and only default option even when people Literally Say #‘​I’m in love with more that one person’ #like. that’s the definition of being polyamorous bestie #stop making us choose!!!!!!! we don’t want to and we don’t have to!!!!!!!! #and it’ll only cause us misery :((( #(to be fair in these examples there’s an extreme lack of communication with everyone involved but like. #that’s just cuz the writers have no imagination and want miscommunication to drive their plots which is honestly so boring) #cass actually talks!

[luckhaver]

Monogamy is valid--but it being the default / only acceptable way of having a relationship is fucking crazy. I suspect so many more people would be in poly or semi-poly relationships if it wasn't an insanely stigmatized option.

#maybe if people had socially acceptable polyamorous options #we could put this whole “life ruining infidelity” thing I see on social media to bed #monogamous people with their kind and poly people with theirs #there. Solved. No more heartache. ffs.

[gobboslime]

Can I date everyone in baldurs gate

I just love all of them please

#like if I try to romantically attract everyone will they get mad #please I’m not tryna cheat on shadowheart im just polyamorous #there’s no hey guys are y’all monogamous or nah dialogue option

[hauntedhappenings]

ok so I'm watching secret sleepover society's vods of potionomics and I was like oh this game looks really fun, I don't agree with every choice they've made, maybe I'll get it. but then I was like wait, are romantic relationships expected in this game and can I be polyamorous. and it seems to me that the answers are yes it's expected and no you can't be polyamorous :(

#im aromantic! what if i dont want a romantic partner #also idk if this is just me but im more comfortable with sort of self inserty character romances if its polyam #or just romance in general #it probably has something to do with amatonormativity #or maybe im just also polyamorous idk #to be clear i dont think it forces you into a relationship but dialogue options are two choices and the nicer ones often increase your #romance scores or something idk

[sillylotrpolls]

An option featuring a change of literally any kind to Lúthien not included as presumably even the mere suggestion would be catastrophic, overloading energy grids worldwide and resulting in months-long blackouts.

[thebibliosphere]

With hindsight, I probably should have realized I was polyamorous/ambiamorous sooner than I did. (And to be clear, I realized it pretty young. I just didn't have the terminology for it.)

Ignoring the fact that five-year-old me used to watch Signing In The Rain! on a loop and was already making up stories about Don, Cosmo, and Kathy all living together in Don's big house and *gasp* holding hands (maybe kissing), I was never any good at shipwars.

Like someone would ask me, "What's your OTP?" and I'd be like, "Well, I guess I like X/Y, but also Y/Z is good too..."

And they'd be like, "No. I mean your one TRUE pairing," and I'd just blink at them like, I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.

I'm sure they thought I was trying to stir shit or being deliberately annoying, but I just... couldn't wrap my head around it. Why did I need to pick one thing? There were multiple options with different things that made them appealing. That's like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and just drinking water. Which is fine! If water is all you want, great. But you don't get to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet and judge people for eating different foods...

And when I eventually found out multi-shipping was a thing, I was like, "oh neat, that's what I do!" and while there was a definite feeling of having found my people, it was weird having the moral judgment from other people who seemed to think multi-shipping was a symptom of a greater moral character flaw. Like my inability to settle on just one thing meant I was more likely to cheat irl.

This wasn't helped by the fact that I... kinda already didn't care about monogamy? Not the way my friends did. I didn't mind that my then-boyfriend liked Sarah, too. What I minded was that he went behind my back and kissed her when he'd told me I couldn't kiss anyone else.

It was the betrayal of the agreement that hurt. Because we'd agreed. He'd asked me to be exclusive with him, and I did. And then he... didn't. And my friends couldn't grasp that.

It was all, "How could he kiss someone else?!" and my chief complaint was, "Why didn't he tell me first?!"

Anyway, if I could go back in time, I'd tell teenage me, you're not weird and amoral, you're just queer, polyamorous, and have ADHD, lmao.

Pride Angels FAQ

What is Pride Angels?

It is my series of angel designs in the colors of different Pride flags. I am planning to make the Pride Angels into stickers, pins, keychains, patches, and lanyards. The campaign is planned for June 2024, after Angelology IV. You can follow the pre-launch page to be notified when the campaign launches.

Can you draw X for the Pride Angels series?

Before inquiring, please check that your request is not already complete! I am not taking requests for any new flags at this time, but read on for how you can request a Pride Angel during the pin campaign. After I complete this series this year, I am not planning to make any more Pride Angels.

About the Pride Angels design request pledge tier:

If you would like to request a Pride Angel, I will have a pledge tier available in the pin campaign to pay to request one. Outside these pledge tiers I will not be accepting any requests. Please save your requests for the pin campaign!

If you nab one of the design request pledges, you can request a flag and optionally suggest a theme or inspiration. If I shared a design you liked that I ended up not going with, you could request that too.

Where can I find the 2022 Pride Angels merch?

Most of the past Pride Angels have been discontinued in my main shops, but you can still find them as pins, stickers, keychains, and patches with my stockists.

I liked an old design better. Will the old designs be available during the campaign?

Depending on order quantity I will make the 2022 Pride Angels available as stickers, keychains, pins, and patches. If they don’t meet the order threshold they will not be funded.

Can I draw a Pride Angel too?

Of course, I don’t own angels or Pride flags! If I inspired you I would love to be tagged to see and share your design.
