Okay but the perfect diagonal of their heights tho

Githyanki eyeball appreciation post ✨

#I’m just now seeing them this close and just #i loved them before but now #they’re so cool #i knew they had a texture/pattern but the camera was never close enough #and honestly didn’t think much of it #seeing them so clearly and I completely stopped paying attention to what was being said #tho it’s not like I haven’t heard it 10 times over already anyway lol #githyanki #gith #gith tav #githyanki tav #bg3 #tkc OC Eche’al

Something satisfying and sweet about playing a githyanki while romancing Lae’zel. I definitely don’t have the words to fully explain the feeling but something like

Two people taken by their species’ sworn enemies and made thrall*

*Get lucky enough to not be enthralled actually

Also get lucky the ship crashed and you get out of your pod and find another of your kind immediately

They work well with you and other istiks that are infected (but also not enthralled??) and keep a good team of solid adventurers

Maybe they’re a little soft and help random istiks for no reason

Maybe they didn’t pay attention to learn all you know about these stupid ghaik

But they fight damn well and you’re obsessed

You follow all known protocol only to be nearly killed trying to be cured by your own people

Your godlike queen lies and betrays you (whether you see it yet or not) and this other gith simply seems to move on, they’ll survive with you even if that means without the rest of your entire race

The party will be cured, they’ll make sure if it

Okay wait kinda care about the istiks you’re traveling with

Okay wait more than obsessed with that other gith

Okay wait this fae run isn’t so bad

You now have hope for a future, no matter what happens now. Your future is beyond what bound you before, you’re free of your people and any royal loyalties you’ve held.

“Your people” are this gith (your gith, the source of your joy!) and the companions you keep, now and whomever you (or they) find later

And against all odds, after your entire past is torn to shreds, you do get a future

Idk something something two githyanki against the world and learning how to love and be people not weapons

(This is long enough so the rest of the pics below cut lol)

#feel free to add/reword/whatever if you understand my vibe #my gwink has become (as a character) a Halsin Tav but I’m still finishing this first run where I’m romancing lae #and just seeing them together makes my heart happy #she’s absolutely written more so to be romanced by an istik #also if they could fix the gith animations that would be fantastic #i appreciate the body difference but my gods no one can touch this boy apparently #lae'zel #bg3 #gith #githyanki #gith tav #githyanki tav #tkc OC Eche’al #even tho this is isn’t specifically about him #but the screenshots are there and I like them #my screenshots

✨Them✨

#when the lil gremlin is happy I become exceedingly happy #they’re so baby far too often I forget he’s supposed to be a lil bit of a shit #tho also the dialogue options to do what I need don’t help #he has alterior motives but can’t convey that in most of the options #but also Halsin is gonna turn him into a puddle #and encourage their curiousity while having them question even more of their gith pride #githyanki #gith #gith tav #githyanki tav #tkc OC Eche’al #i tend to ramble bout them in the tags a lot #it’s fine

[transkingcobra]

A lil Eche’al spam because I love taking screenshots of them lol especially when he does that fucking smirk, I’m always like “that’s my gremlin!!!!”

Second picture the person he’s talking to got glitched like 2 feet above them I’m honestly not even sure what the game made them stand on that was that much of a height difference 😂

And a dash of spice below the cut

I got impatient and split my campaign saves for this

#and yes he took Shadowheart’s camp clothes after killing her #but like he looks so good in them I had to #i also continuously forget she’s dead and try to grab her for stuff/talk to her for the camp dialogue #only to be met with the empty spot in camp #bg3 Tav #gith #githyanki #gith tav #githyanki tav #tkc OC Eche’al #halsin x tav #tav

Wanted some new ref shots and decided to share some lol have a blorbo

My gith Tav Eche’al (he/they)

Chaotic stupid with enough gremlin charisma to get out of consequences ✨

He’s very curious of other humanoid races and loves devouring the “lore” of everything, but also has that sense of githyanki pride and toxic distancing. It isn’t until the tadpole that he makes friends, realizing he actually cares about the istiks he’s shepherding (much like Lae’zel, but far earlier). He also heavily relies on Lae’zel’s knowledge because he was absolutely not paying attention to as much revolving around ghaiks or battle strategy and is learning to regret it. (Some of those early-game gith dialogues are hilarious knowing they should know these things and it fit with his interest in other races that he’d favor learning them and not what he’s supposed to be paying attention to lol)

They became a warlock with the promise to be able to travel and learn all they want to about people. Still fleshing out exactly what that means for who/what his patron is, what they want from him, etc. because I honestly put zero thought into his character when making them originally and just decided this was my warlock run but I feel like it fits for his chaotic stupid ass to end up with a pact

(Also, enjoy Eche’al watching Dammon work, that fucking smirk and side eye sent me, I do not remember noticing that on my other runs, tho honestly I don’t have Dammon make anything usually anymore so I probably just forgot)

They definitely fool around with people but being gith doesn’t typically mean they’re trusted by others so he mostly has experience with other githyanki. Eche’al notices everyone in camp being horny (not complaining, they are too and take advantage of his open options when available) and when Halsin says he’ll help the group he immediately decided yes that means he actually has a chance to possibly take a giant man to bed and gods be damned they’re gonna do whatever they need to do to make it happen 😂 They absolutely see him as a sexual conquest at first but it doesn’t take long talking to Halsin for his caring personality to make Eche’al see him as something far sweeter.

By the end of act 2, they no longer want to learn about Halsin for the sake of learning and better flirting, but want to learn Halsin for the sake of truly knowing him. He’s turned down the rest of the party wanting to be anything serious with him, he doesn’t want that and doesn’t see any of them that way to begin with, and honestly starts getting worried Halsin may want to be “serious” someday too.

Come act 3, Halsin’s confession makes them a bit nervous at first but him explaining how he views his relationships quickly dissipates that worry. The open polyamory Halsin is offering feels like they’ve been given permission to address their feelings without being chained down by them. Eche’al is quickly somehow even more infatuated with his big bear man and more determined to be able to take the big bear man but learns saying “I am githyanki, I can handle it” does not make you able to handle everything.

Friend called him a gwink (gith twink) and now that’s all I think about calling them lol

#that githyanki pride may have gotten Shadowheart killed #rip shart #trying to do a good run but also actually rp him #and yeah the dialogue options and her own personality combo got her killed #that and he listens to Lae’zel at the beginning a lot then warms up to his own thoughts #and the thoughts of the people that actually live there lol #he ultimately wants people around so he can observe them like a zoo #but challenge them and get eldritch blasted into next year #bg3 #bg3 tav #tav #gith tav #githyanki tav #githyanki #also just me or the animations not lining up for gith bodies annoying af #even just the sleeping animation #his own arms don’t connect to his torso #this first run is a Lae’zel romance and the kisses are murdering me #he’s gonna be a Halsin romance after I’m done this campaign #lowkey scared to see those animations #but I need to see him with his big bear man #tkc OC Eche’al

WIP Wednesday anybody?

Been working on this on and off for a while, somehow my ace ass got this idea as the first thing to ever have motivation to draw in gods know how long

I mean what he’s just nervous about their first kiss

Also yes they’re backwards rn because my brain can only shade one way apparently and Halsin’s face is driving me up a wall for it, but it will be flipped back before it’s done ;-;

Realizing the gith bodies are so small was a nice difference as a tiny guy myself and seeing him beside Halsin was just oof (he’s not even a Halsin romance run Tav but I legit might do another campaign with him to romance Halsin I love them) I’m also just pleasantly surprised at how much I like the gith Tav I made, never been interested in them before this game

Part two for just the next day/epilogue shots, love that fucking outfit on him

Of course it’s pretty much just him hugging his future bear man what else am I supposed to do at the party

Finally finished up his first run, just some random shots of the end game stuff. Now he can go fuck the bear

“Sit and think about what you’ve done”

#‘okay time to finish Shadowheart’s quest’ #‘oh- oh wait yeah no she’s dead in this campaign’ #oops #every fucking time #sorry girl #gith tav #githyanki tav #gith #githyanki #my screenshots #tkc OC Eche’al

Going back through my Eche’al screenshots (I have so many send help) and noticing the Speak With Dead ones make him look so sad?? Like

Sad he’s found this person’s hidden body

“Okay I need to know what’s up so let’s use the scroll I’ve been holding onto”

Then I caught the blink by accident, making him look like he’s hesitating, like he hates disturbing the dead, or is specifically distraught over this person

But no he has to finish casting and go through with his questions, so he steels himself and continues

#i haven’t been using speak with dead much lately because I’ve run through the game so many times #so I don’t really remember how my other Tavs looked in the animation #but the blink photo #just makes the set look so much sadder than anything #he really wouldn’t be this sad about a random body #bg3 #tkc OC Eche’al #gith tav #githyanki tav #speak with dead
