I decided to torture myself with Astarion and Imani :')
Reblog so the fic gets written đ€Ł
Still super obsessed with the idea of Tav being part of the og party that killed Strahd and they just⊠dont mention it. At all.
Like, youâve got:
Gale: Archmage of Waterdeep, wizarding prodigy, Chosen of Mystra herself
Karlach: frontliner of the Blood War and escapee from Avernus
Wyll: The Blade of Frontiers and son of Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard
Astarion: Vampire spawn of Cazador Szarr, and former magistrate
Shadowheart: Priestess of Shar, Lady of Loss
Laeâzel: Badass githyanki and proud servant of Vlaakith
And my Tavâs canon: Slayer of the Dread Lord Strahd von Zarovich, currently trying to find a way to bring it up to the party and is 100% awkward about it because they died *after* killing Strahd and only because they tripped off a cliff and their old party thought itâd be funny to cast Reincarnate instead of Revivify.
The story everyone knows is that (Tav) died in the fight against Strahd as a âfinal heroic sacrifice for the greater good.â When in reality, theyâre too embarrassed to correct anyone so theyâve picked a new name and literally made a deal with Neferon or Exethanter for completely different magic to what they used to wield and now theyâre committed to the disguise/new life/fake backstory of being tricked into a Warlock pact. At this point, theyâre neckdeep in this awkward situation where everyone believes they died a heroâs death, their old party is kinda just laughing about everything, and their BG3 party is completely oblivious.
Astarion: âItâs near impossible to kill a true vampire lord. Cazador is almost unbeatable.â
Tav the Strahd Slayer: ââŠI see.â
I THOUGHT THEY ACTUALLY HAD CHUCK BRING KEVIN BACK BUT THEY DIDNâT IT WAS JUST LIES AND TEASING AND WHYYYYYYY
So much happened this episode and Iâm still just torn at the confirmation that Gabriel is dead.

These are just two screenshots I took that I couldn't believe turned out so poignant so I thought I'd share! I recommend clicking and enlarging to capture the difference in his eyes really well.
He's so precious it hurts đ
WELP. Guess they werenât kidding when they said season 12 was going to be a reset.
(Totally called that last reveal after they went to the grave).
Such reactions are known to happen when a character finally gets interesting.
Itâs funny coz last season we were all like âKILL DANIEL!!â and this season weâre like âNO NOT DANIEL!â Damn is this fandom like a rubber band.
