okay, no shade, but youre missing out on SO much good characters moments if your girlbossify the bg3 women too much. i get it, they're big, strong, badass, but they are, like all bg3 companions, incredibly cringe in their own ways that i think we could stand to appreciate more.
lae'zel throws the worlds biggest meltdown anytime you do anything not directly related to the githyanki creche, only to almost get her shit immediately rocked. lae'zel on modern day stan twitter would be a shitshow and you cant convince me otherwise. and thats before we even mention her fighting you in act two and then immediately crying about it. babygirl its okay, we were only playing. AND TRYING TO KISS HER IN PUBLIC?? she acts big and bad in act 1, fighting rough with you the entire time, but as soon as you ask her for a little kiss? immediate embarrassment. she could absolutely wreck my shit, but shes still a meow meow.
shadowheart is just fantasy catholic. she gets mad if you pick up a statue of selûne bc shes just that catholic. dyes her hair white in a desperate emo crisis of faith moment. recites smut in public. makes jokes that land incredibly flat. is acting way cooler and more chill than she actually is to hide the fact that shes scared. SHE CHOSE THE NAME SHADOWHEART. need i say more?
karlach may be cringe but she is free, i will give her this. she gets the zoomies. she almost blows up a firework shop with her in it because shes so excited. she has a teddy bear called clive. she hasnt read a book since secondary school. she does a little dancy dance if you leave her alone for too long. her inner monologue is just about how horny she is for most people. bisexual failgirl. i love her.
and then the biggest cringefail of them all, minthara. the fact that she absolutely cannot see that every companion at camp actually does grow to really like, love, and respect her bc shes expecting treachery (bc thats what SHE would have done) is as sad as it is just a liiiiittle bit funny. darling. my wife. people like and care about you. not to mention the fact that shes been poisoning you the entire time shes been travelling with you???? cant communicate for the life of her. regularly threatens to kill you but then gets mad if you die. emotionally stunted loserbabe. we will have a july wedding........
what im SAYING isnt that the girls ARENT badass and compotent and cool, what im SAYING is that the lads shouldnt have a monopoly on complexity and depth. you get me?
bg3 romance woes
just got the scene with talking to Gale under the night sky in act 2 (beautiful scenery btw) and GOD. HOW in the HELLS am I supposed to romance anyone BUT him now??!
On the other hand, I want to romance Astarion and as much as I CAN NOT for the life of me find it easy to reject Gale, hurting Astarion in any way, shape or form would immediately reduce me to a pathetic puddle of tears.
WHY can I not romance both of them UGGHHH this is torture.
not to mention the fact that I have the hots for like EVERY romancable AND unromancable npc in this GODDAMN game.
like Lae’zel (she’s so endearing for some reason what the hell??), KARLACH oh my GOD (Shadowheart knows what’s up, I NEED her to carry me and OMG she calls herself Mama K I CAN’T), Wyll ugggghh (he’s underrated and I WON’T stand for it) Shadowheart (fuck, god’s favorite emo princess I love her so muchhhh). That motherfucker HALSIN (what a HUNK of an elf they had NO RIGHT making him so glorious) even Minthara who I finally got in Act 2 now.
and when it comes to the UNROMANCABLE people. Don't even get me STARTED. Raphael you god damn majestic asshole. Haarlep (I’d feed him, that’s all I’ll say about the matter), Alfira (the REAL reason why I’ll never do a Durge playthrough, I CAN NOT ever lay a finger on her). Larkrissa (I love her and Alfira plus them TOGETHER so fucking much), ROLAN (stupid prickly wizard), Dammon (he’s just SO everything, don’t make me explain, I’ll go on and on for hours)
this game is a bisexual NIGHTMARE and on one hand I LIVE for it, on the other, I’d like to sue
I‘m sooo normal (feral) about them
The thing that Baldur's Gate got right is that each companion is both extremely cool, tempered with an appropriate dose of cringe.
Gale is a powerful wizard. He uses the phrase 'pish posh' unironically.
Lae'zel is a badass. She asks you to fight her and then gets emotional because you're fighting even though that was her idea.
Karlach. Badass. But we've all seen her idle dance moves.
Wyll is this swashbuckling vigilante and he has a pose he does whenever he says his own superhero name.
Shadowheart. Dark backstory, still striving so hard for the light. Makes a joke about poisonous flowers that falls incredibly flat.
Astarion. Capable rogue and a dangerous vampire. He practises his one-liners ahead of time. Within earshot of the people he wants to use them on.

I never knew I needed Karlach getting excited over my favorite animal until now 🥰 🐸
After 10 years locked in the hells, little things like frogs are mesmerizing. Karlach 100% made the group stop every time a cute critter appeared on their journey.
Taters
BG3 x Hades school project
Had to pick 2 medias and make one in the art style of the other... So here is BG3 in the Hades artstyle !
Had to draw characters, backgrounds, props and illustration !
This ends up being my party, every time.
Name ten female characters you like, you get zapped if it's jsut a male character you call a babygirl or other feminine nicknames because I can't see people calling Lestat coquette again
she and i would have a grand time going to build a bear tbh. monthly date at build a bear
"I could fix her" "I could make her worse" Well I could take her to build a bear
me 🤝 shadowheart
(all of them are hot)
Haircut day - after act 2
it's not the cuddle pile she wants to be in the middle of.
THE NOISE I MADE SEEING THIS 😭 SO GORGEOUS HOLY SHIT
She came to him with a broken heart; little did he know that fixing it would bond theirs both together to the hells and back… oh yes, i did that

I’m not adding Wyll, because he won the last pull!!! Click here to see the last result
I may redraw the old drawing
Guys I made another modern au mini comic, but this time traditionally
My Bg3 Modern Au Head-cannons
Meadow (my Tav): She’s trying to figure life out, she’s working at a flower store until her music gets off the ground
Wyll: Dance/Aerobics instructor, his dad wanted him to be a politician. He also does community theater and musicals in his free time
Karlach: 100% rides a motorcycle, Does peircings at a tattoo parlor, and is on a women’s rugby team
Shadowheart: Meadow’s concert buddy, and she works at a doggy day care
Lae’zel: she’s a bartender (because that would be funny) and is on the same Rugby team as Karlach. I can also see her as a martial arts instructor
Gale: He’s still a magic teacher at a magic academy. And I think it would be funny if he showed off his book collection on social media, like his actor in real life
Astarion: He went to law school, but then he was turned into a vampire, now he lives in Meadow’s attic while he figures things out. He embroiders in all his free time.
Bonus!
Halsin: He’s a social worker, definitely not based off this one fan comic series I read. And he volunteers at the Humane society and orphanage in his free time. I’m not sure I’ll do this, but I can see him fostering kids
My friend wanted to me to draw karlach in the flexing bride meme
So this is a conversation I had with @sam-is-tired illustrated
Fire ants are now a delicacy in bg3, no Tav is safe
It’s time for Mama K with the pansexual pride!!
Gale pride chibi // Astarion pride chibi //
Wyll plus my Tav pride chibi
Wyll plus my Tav chibi
Astarion chibi
Ps: sorry for my chibi style being inconsistent, I’m working on it
Pride month reblog, for the trans homies ✨✨
