Here are hints to what each oc's story will entail:
1 - METAL. REBELLION. SAVIOUR
2 - PRIVELEGE. REBIRTH. RESENTFUL AFFECTION.
3 - SMALL TOWN. ABANDONMENT. DUTY
it is, i think, symptomatic of the way larian has built this brand: bg3 was always marketed as being mature (read: sexual), and that was one of the big draws for players - myself included! especially as media pulls more towards extremes, with mainstream video games starting to get increasingly graphically sexual, graphically violent, and the vogue for 'grey morality' becomes the norm, those boundaries get pushed, and it becomes more and more of a selling point.
larian obviously focused on this, along with the How Do You Do, Fellow Kids brand, the increased accessibility of game devs on twitter, and adopted it heavily into their marketing strategy, and are now pretty reliant on the horny gamer crowd for a lot of their audience, and more importantly, they're doing this on purpose.
which is how you end up in situations like this.
characters (white men) the players want to fuck get centred: they get updates, they get more content, they get favoured. halsin's gone from a side character in EA to a half-fledged romance option, to a full romance option: he shows up in the promotional material, is larian's poster boy for the sex scenes, he gets more content with every update.
now gortash gets more heavily implied situationship lines with the dark urge, because players are horny for him. nevermind that some people aren't playing that way, or that he was originally set up to be a lower-level antagonist; nevermind that if the durge's storyline needed expansion, it should've been with orin and sarevok and bhaal, or that it muddies the writing for the rest of gortash's arc + characterisation: people want to fuck him, so it gets put in the game. it's not even to do with karlach, whose quest so desperately needs expansion! it's specifically catering to the people who want their character to have a Relationship with the slaver, because they're either not interested in or not able to focus on strengthening the weak spots in the narrative: they're just doing things that will net the 'my favourite dating sim' people lmfao.
meanwhile, literal main character wyll gets his quest demoted to a subquest, doesn't get bugfixes, doesn't get a single unique romance greeting after 6 patches and months of requests. he's not a Horny character, so he doesn't get the focus: he's not a player favourite, so he gets nothing. it's just... so unbelievably, indisputably racist, and it's incredibly grim and disappointing to watch it happen in real-time.

The double standard 🤮
Also when israeki diaper force snipes 4 year old, media says "accidentally a stray bullet found its way into a 3-4 year old young lady"
I just wait for the day when israel has to pay for everything it has done. We will never forgive, we will never forget.
Every Friday, millions of Yemenis, themselves survivors of genocide, protest the genocide of Gaza
Surprise, surprise! Z Lao, the fiery bartender from one of the hottest celebrity hotspots, found themselves on tape once again, unleashing a torrent of profanity that would make even sailors blush.
But wait, there's more—in a shocking twist, they managed to snatch an innocent paparazzo's camera right out of their hands. Cue the chaos as all four paparazzi present attempted to reclaim it, but alas, victory eluded them. It took the intervention of two bystanders to wrestle Lao into submission as they defiantly declared, "I'll f*cking destroy your sh*t!" Witnesses say this mantra echoed like a broken record.
While Z Lao might not be winning any popularity contests with the paparazzi, there's no denying their magnetic pull on the high-profile nightclub crowd, who can't resist the allure of the bar, even if it comes with a side of drama.
Nepo baby Russel Grier, interviewed just outside the club last night, responded with laughter and some slightly intoxicated swaying when asked about the recent incident. "They're badass. We love them. In this f*cked up place with you f*cked up people following our every move, Z's got our back."
Chalk it up to the alcohol talking, my lovelies? We all know the paparazzi play a crucial role in keeping people like him relevant (cough cough nepo babies), so we won't take those inebriated words to heart. After all, you've got our back, right?
If you're feeling the love, show some by voting, sharing, and commenting on our social media pages 'PinkCelebTea'.
Stay fabulous, XOXO.

You headed upstairs, thinking of checking up on Mammon. You passed a plate on the hallway, it had this day’s breakfast on it. It was right outside Leviathan’s door. There were still sounds of gunshots coming from the door.
This guy must really like guns
You thought, you looked down at the plate. You knew Beelzebub ants were gonna come and eat it. So you picked up the plate and performed a spell on the door, causing the door to open up slightly. The room was dark, clothes, wrapping paper, and a ton of junk was strewn on the floor. You frowned. More trash in your house.
There were sounds of gunshots coming from a screen, Levi was on the floor what looked like a human game. You closed the door quietly, leaving the plate on a table.
You snuck up behind Leviathan, staring intensely at his back. His games character was a girl with lilac hair dressed in more lilac. “What’s that?” you asked him, he jolted up, he turned to face you, his eyes wide “Wh-what’re you doing here?”
You pointed towards the table you placed the plate on, he squinted, “What’s that?” “Your meal.”
“Oh, well thanks.” it was quiet, he broke the silence by telling you “I appreciate you bringing the food in, but please go outside.” you pouted “But I wanna watch you play...” he looked shock, but stammered out “F-fine, you can stay, but be quiet...” you smiled widely, “Yay!” you could make out a small blush starting to grow on his face.
He turned back to his screen. You watched intently as he played the game.
After five minutes you were getting tired of having to slouch without any support. You spotted an area where you could finally be more comfortable while slouching.
You rested your head on Levi’s shoulder.
His character stopped moving, you turned to him, you could see his ears have turned red, you asked him “Is anything wrong, Levi?” “N-nothing!”
It's unfathomable, even more so when you realize this isn't the first time Israel has done this. She was a baby. The men were so obviously red crescent medics, and still, Israeli soldiers shot and killed them.
It wasn't a misfired bomb. It was guns. They knew what they were targeting.
Anyone who defends this, for whatever religion you believe in, even if you believe in nothing at all, I can only hope the afterlife brings you your deserved suffering on a platter. You're disgusting, vile creatures, who must've snuck onto the Earth because there is no way in nature that you are human. Die.
نَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Save the children of Palestine. Protect the medics. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Blacked out part is my name.
I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too
I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.
And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.
