Nightingalen7 - A Safe Space For Shadowheart Lovers

Reposting to add that the Emperor be like hmm I got this cool Sharran lady AND there's a Selûnite on board, let's cause ✨drama✨ and get them to bang

Baldurs Gate 3 is so wild when you realise how vastly different the game is depending on if you choose Tav or Dark Urge

Dark Urge Playthrough: you’re the child of Bhaal, but unlike the Bhaalspawn, you are created solely by Bhaal himself. The first true child of Bhaal. The daughter of one of your father’s previous Bhaalspawn turns on you, attacks you and tries to kill you. In your dying state, she infects you with a parasite so that you’ll die an incredibly humiliating death, and become her slave.

By some miracle you end up on the same nautiloud ship as a Sharron Cleric who happens to to be carrying a gith artefact that contains Baldur himself. Baldur, who was made a mind flayer and is now calling himself the Emperor, realises there’s an incredibly powerful Bhaalspawn on the ship, and that he can use them to his advantage. The power you have will help him destroy Gortash. Of course he picks you, it makes so much sense.

On your way to Baldurs Gate you find out through an unsent letter that you used to be into Gortash. When you get to Baldurs Gate, the man you used to fuck turns out to be an absolute loser and with horror you realise he is still into you. It’s okay though, he’s very easy to kill.

You end up facing off against Orin, your niece, and kill her. Your father appears to you and offers you the chance to become his Slayer. On the high chance you turn him down, he murders you in front of your loved ones, and leaves you to rot.

Then Jergal, the actual Lord of the End of Everything, the original God of Death, who was the very being that turned you father into a God all that time ago, who’s been in your camp for weeks pretending to be this undead scribe called Withers, appears next to your corpse and brings you back to life, basically adopts you, states that he will protect you from Bhaal, and announces that as long as he lives, you will never die. You’re essentially immortal.

Tav Playthrough: you’re a random nobody that was unlucky enough to get kidnapped by Mind Flayers. The Emperor must pick one of the many idiots on the ship to be his pawn. He sees Tav and thinks “ugh, yeah this one will do”.

Got shadow banned on cod, guess that means I have no choice now but to spend my weekend writing (as if I didn't already want to write anyway)

I HAVE RISEN FROM THE DEAD

and by that I mean I'm back from my self-imposed social media/writing hiatus. An update may be coming soon for my bg3 fic, but in the meantime... Is mass effect still popular? 🤔

fucking weirdos (endearingly)

the tadfools (ft. Halsin) + text posts

Forever convinced bg3 is just dao for a modern audience. Here's my reasons as comparisons between party members:

Morrigan/Shadowheart: trauma goth girls

Leliana/Shadowheart: religion + flowers = adorkable loser that's obsessed w/you

Alistair/Wyll: precious cinnamon rolls that are too good for the rest of us (but with ✨secrets✨)

Alistair/Gale: will kill you with awkwardness and kindness (and maybe cheese)

Alistair/Astarion: pretty hair bois

Zevran/Astarion: elves with KNIVES and sexy accents

Sten/Lae'zel: dude with big sword that doesn't understand local customs

Dog/Scratch/Owlbear: this one's obvious

Wynne/Jaheira: easily the smartest person in the group, will totally judge when you fuck up, gives great mom advice

Leliana/Karlach: would definitely love to shop together, Karlach would prob think Leli's sense of style is nuts tho (she seems more practical to me idk and we all know what Orlesians are like)

Morrigan/Halsin: turns into bear, is scary

My love language is physical touch and i would literally never let Shadowheart leave my arms, I just want to kiss, hug and hold her 24/7.

She's tough and strong and pretty much the only character who can survive most of the game without the player unlike the others but she's also just my little princess.

I just wanna spoil her in and out of the bedroom so bad.

Shadowheart be like: KEEP UR VOICE DOWN WORSHIPPING SHAR IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH

Also Shadowheart:

Shadowheart: How did you know I was a Sharran?

Also Shadowheart:

would also 100% immediately drop to my knees and worship isobel

was very triggered she wasn't a romance option until I met aylin, then I felt guilty

Ultimately, Dame Aylin is the single most relatable character in BG3, because I, too, immediately after laying eyes upon the wonder that is Isobel Thorm, would rush to divest myself of my knightly accoutrements and the divine trappings of my lofty station, only to fall to my knees in yearning supplication, eternally awed by her wisdom and beauty.
