Obsessed with the trope of when the Heroic Sacrifice does not work.
When the character fails to heroically sacrifice themself and now has to face all the loved ones they were about to leave.
Or even worse, the character does sacrifice themself, but it doesn't fix the situation. So those left behind have to face not only the grief of losing them, but also knowing that it was in vain.
I love chain lightening what a classic spell. fuck you and you and you and you and you and
Astarion, do you really have to stand quite so close?
i’ll be chillin and then all of a sudden i literally turn into this thing
Not sure about anyone else but I re-read all my favourite AO3 comments when I’ve had a rough day so if you’ve ever taken the time to write a deep, funny, or just kind comment, thank-you.
I think the next chapter's going to run over schedule, unfortunately, a few things came up and I got a little busy - I'm aiming for the 25th now, which should fittingly make it a nice little Christmas present for those who celebrate, fingers crossed.
I know we are all like "people in caveman times would drill holes in their head to relieve headaches" andwe go oh that's so stupid that's so dumb but like. then I get a headache and I'm like.ooooh I get it I get it. Grug prepare the drill.
@fandang1 if you want more dragonborns, I also have this girl from my multiplayer run - her name is Coral and I love her.
I made Klearrhishkminal in the game for fun a while ago, so I thought I ought to share her so you could all see why Turmeric was (and still is) so enamored with her. I mean, look at her, she's gorgeous!
She's a pretty important character for someone who's literally been dead the whole time- or at least, I like to think so, I hope that impression comes across. She is the entire reason for Turmeric, well, being called Turmeric for starters.
As a reminder, she is bronze and definitely not brass - if you think you've ever seen me describe her (or Ansur!) as that because they're similar words and I forgot to check and got confused, no you didn't, that never happened. Because then Turmeric's whole character quirk of having a fondness for lightning spells because her last girlfriend had lightning breath wouldn't make sense and nobody would pick up on it! (I do hope some people have picked up on that, it's a subtle little thing, but it's there. (because we carry those we love with us, long after they're gone, after all))
Caspian is enjoying herself in this game
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
