where'd that horse girl lae'zel truther post go

edit: a sequel has manifested

Random Animal Generator - Perchance

the creators struggle of "yes I absolutely made this for myself and I should absolutely appreciate that I made this thing that turned out amazing and be proud of it on that merit alone" vs "man it'd be cool if everyone liked this thing I made as much as I do"

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

I just kinned the Bg3 companions with my little pony characters (it was relevant to thr post I reblogged I swear) which has reminded me of my love of kinning.

So.

Bg3 companions as SIX queens.

Apparently my blog is just Bg3 + musicals now.

Okay!

These don’t fit perfectly but whatever.

Also spoilers for backstories and character quests.

Lae’zel is Catherine of Aragon, and No Way is her talking to Vlaakith. She was perfect and devoted and then turns out Vlaakith sucks and now hates her even though she was the perfect devoted follower. Also low key the drum breakdown is giving military to me, idk why.

Anne Boleyn is Gale because 1. Confident, 2. I just want him to be silly. As a treat. Lose Your Head is him talking about his relationship with Mystra and how not feeling good enough for her drove him to do reckless things that ended up getting him banished/basically sentenced to death.

Jane Seymour is Shadowheart because she put up with the abuse for a long ass time and also emotional repression, and grief of her parents paralleling Jane’s grief for herself and her son.

Anna of Cleves is Karlach. She has the best attitude out of all of them and the most self-confidence, and even though her good times are cut short (regardless of which ending she gets) she’s having a great time while she’s here.

Katherine Howard is Astarion. Because… yeah.

Catherine Parr is Wyll. Voice of reason, wants to be known for who he is outside of his abuser (Mizora, maybe his dad too idk) and has tons of accomplishments unrelated to his abuse. I also feel like without Tav he’d be the voice of reason and the one to help everyone through their shit.

get ready everyone

I love the camp gossip but do wish companions would interact with each other more... so I'm gonna draw it!!! I think Karlach and Astarion gotta have the most contrasts between their characters but one bit I like especially is touch starved vs touched out.

Wyll being a terrible monster hunter is something that is so special actually. told to hunt heartless devil? immediately convinced of her goodness and humanity and without hesitation agrees to defy the devil who has his soul in custody and spare karlach at tremendous personal physical cost. vampire in camp? well hes handsome and funny and pretty polite about where he puts his teeth so it’s fine all things considered. finding out the person who ritualistically disemboweled a tiefling in front of him is a bhaalspawn like an unholy progeny of the god of murder that is culturally immediately reviled? no that’s his friend and he completely trusts in their ability to fight their nature with their own inner light. it doesn’t matter that they created the absolute they’re not that person anymore. Like Wyll. you are literally categorically not hunting the monsters. guy of all time
