Imagine spending a century trying to put an end to the suffering of a singular (powerful and connected to the entirety of the surrounding land tbf) fae child to rid the land of a curse, succeeding, and then being dragged to a place where literally hundreds of children are suffering and starving and dying and there's not even a pinpoint reason for it, people are just letting it happen, and then when you express that maybe that's actually kinda fucked up, being told: "Idk I think you're overreacting"

#this is about halsin in baldur's gate #BG3 Musing #if i were halsin maybe i too would seriously contemplate tearing down the establishment board by board #i'm sorry that slight change to that line saying that halsin's idea of harshly judging baldur's gate being TYRANNICAL like bro #tyrannical to whom? bootlickers and politicians that are rewarded by a corrupt system?#it's almost funny with how obtuse it is but also????#that's why orin's thing is such a gut punch - halsin's primary concern is the life that isn't even being given a chance to thrive #imagine being the *cause* of their suffering - of their deaths #bravo orin good research skills #elves value children! they are precious and far between! of course he thinks that's fucked up!!#and he would be *right*#halsin should respond to a player saying that with a 'i pray to silvanus you never procreate'#also anyone bring up the goblin kids on this post it's on sight

If you think about it, Baldur’s Gate 3 is essentially a continuous group therapy session through Faerûn

Shadowheart: “I was brainwashed and kidnapped by a cult run by an evil goddess”

Astarion: “I was a slave to Cazador for over 200 years and forced to do unspeakable things”

Lae’zel: “I was forced to be violent due to my culture all of my life”

Gale: “I could literally blow up at any moment because my ex wants me to”

Wyll: “I made a pact with a demon that’s tricked me and treated me as a personal pet since I was 17”

Karlach: “I had my fucking heart replaced with an infernal engine, was an attack dog for a demon, and there’s no way to fix my heart without going back”

Halsin: “My best friend was cursed to be a child his entire life, and I’ve never felt good enough to be first Druid”

Jaheira: “I lost my husband, had to raise our children alone, and my friend got turned into snow for a century”

Minsc: “I was turned to stone for a century :(“

Minthara: “I was brainwashed and betrayed by the absolute cult”

Tav: *just some guy with an illithid parasite, jotting down notes* “yes yes…and how does that make you feel?”

#HE'S SO SAD???? #no listen #this man has NOBODY #his family is dead #the grove was a burden #his homeland is swallowed in shadow #he turned to alcohol in his grief #a grief so palpable that it fused itself to a weapon #he brushes off his trauma in the underdark like it's nothing #BECAUSE HONESTLY? WHEN DOES HE ACTUALLY LET HIMSELF BE VULNERABLE #PROBABLY NEVER #UNTIL NOW #'I've taken many lovers. My heart does not stir lightly.' #sounds a lot like a man using sex to cope #the same way he used alcohol i bet #grief is easily one of the top causes of addiction #and if you let him down here he says 'but i was sure we had a connection...' #case in point: halsin decides in this moment that he will be vulnerable for you #you are not just a lay to him. you are someone worth fighting his own grief for. #he wants to love and be loved no matter how scary it might be #and larian had better give me more options to show him bc i swear to god #if i have to sit here and listen to the 'i only want you, but you can be with whoever!' line one more time WITHOUT the option to tell him that he's all i want too #i will be sad forever #/endrant

#not here to discourse just here to share my thoughts about this hench elf #halsin #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3edit #gamesedit #*mine #*bg3 #not to mention his epilogue???? UGH #larian fix it

companions crying compilation

the more depressing sequel to this. the dialogue labels them as simply 'Sob' and there's 3 variations for everyone, although to me minthara's doesn't really sound like her to me so she might have placeholder audio (or my ears could just be deceiving me)

#baldur's gate #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #wyll ravengard #lae'zel #gale dekarios #karlach #shadowheart #astarion #halsin #jaheira #minsc #again. not really sure when or if these ever are used in dialogue or cutscenes #someone asked about these so here #★

thinking about how elves trance and don’t need a full eight hours of rest so in parties with him being the only elf, astarion has grown accustomed to a nightly routine. the fours he got to spend alone in the quiet night, probably hunting or reading.

then halsin joins

suddenly those four hours of “me time” are now also occupied by a large wood elf whittling ducks

#the absolute audacity #bg3 #astarion #halsin #he’ll get over it he just has to be dramatic about it first #anyways stop having astarion sleep all night in your fics #astarion ancunin #baldur's gate 3 #dungeons and dragons #dnd

Tragically the in-game tone for this scene was way more serious, Gale got SO UPSET and I felt SO BAD. I hope he doesn't hold it against Croissant.

[[ All Croissant Adventures (chronological, desktop) ]]

[[ All Croissant Adventures (app) ]]

#I JUST WANTED THE “WHAT LIKE A CHILD??” LINE IT'S SO FUNNY #Croissant's never had this much attention before they don't really know what to do about it #Also the audacity of Halsin to say he thought I was coming onto him by being nice I'm so tired LMAO #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #act III spoilers #croissant adventures #tav #gale #halsin #gale x tav #comics #breadweave #gale dekarios

As someone who turns 30 this month one of the many things I like about Baldur's Gate 3 is that it normalizes finding love later in life.

Everyone around seems to get married and starts families, but it's okay. Gale has gray strands in his hair and is single after an intense relationship. Halsin is middle aged even in elf terms and has had myriads of lovers but no-one to settle down with. Astarion did not have the freedom to find himself and therefore love for almost all his life. Minthara has been too devoted to her job/cult for 200 years. Karlach and Shadowheart are at least in their late twenties.

It's fine if it hasn't happened yet. The right person just has not been tadpoled by now.

(Edit: I know now Shadowheart is at least 40. Thanks for clearing that up)

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #gale #halsin #age #thinking about getting older #only found out i am gay this year #i might also need 200 more years
