"We All Deserve To Be Wicked, Now And Again." - Mother Superior Shadowheart

ALSO ALSO:

Shadowheart not having her concept art tattoos is the fattest L I think the bg3 community has taken

She cares about changing her appearance after abandoning Shar enough to bleach her dang hair and change the style, having those tattoos would add so much delicious *angst* I think we all need

the only better moon lesbians are shadowheart × selunite tav

I think they should hug 24/7... They were made to hug each other.

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? 🤔

what is it with me and women with black/white hair and facial scars

Shadowheart, Cassandra: Loves smutty books, religious, can be religious leaders (and will not marry you sad), curt and no nonsense, easily annoyed

Ciri, Cassandra: Fights melee well (sorry Shadowheart), royalty/noble but rejects it, very long ass names, normie ears

Shadowheart, Ciri: were pawns for greater powers, bi/pan (book ciri was at least), brilliant green eyes, betrayed by an elf/drow, elven blood (ciri sorta does), weird about drowning (book ciri)

All three: loves smudgy, black eye shadows, softies underneath, traumatic childhoods, will backslap you like the lil bitch you are, lives in a very unsafe fantasy world, had nice male mentors

The trifecta big cvnt energy 🤌👸💃

PS. I was robbed of white hair Cassandra

also I've had tumblr for like 3 days now and the fact that all their recommended posts and ads are Shadowheart related feels like I'm being targeted when I've posted TWICE

You know what? Fuck it.

Romance~

It's honestly a rip off we don't get nothin from the companions, especially your lover. C'mon Larian pls 🙏

I am once again lamenting how neglected resist!Durge has been for months. The final climactic scene to their arc is met with some of the most milquetoast companion reactions I've ever seen.

We literally die.

Like Durge just stops being alive. Where's the angst? The emotion? None of this half-assing shit, give us the shock and denial. Hell, give us weeping! Make it unflattering, because loss can be ugly.

I wouldn't even be opposed to Withers not showing up immediately? Maybe they have to physically drag Durge's dead body back to camp. Show us Gale using the only revival scroll he has and his face falling when it doesn't work. Shadowheart being the healer, desperately expending all her energy to bring you back to life as a last hail mary. Minthara not caring that Bhaal is a god, vowing to make him pay. Lae'zel threatening you to wake up, and the devastation that follows when she realizes you won't. Wyll thinking of bargaining his very soul to Mizora just for the chance she could bring Durge back. Astarion and Karlach praying to whatever gods they can think of even though they don't believe in them anymore.

Show the grief, the exhaustion. Then Withers appears.

As it stands, the emotional weight of what happens to Durge gets resolved so quickly, there's never a moment for any of us to really react to it.

It's an issue all across the game tbh. Why do the companions have no reaction to Kressa's reveal that she tortured Durge? Why are there no consequences to your relationships when they find out you were behind the Absolute plan? Outside of Astarion, the other romanceable companions have very little unique interactions with Durge, which is a shame because there are plenty of them who share many parallels to Durge's experience of being used by a god/higher-power.

I feel like I'm playing the world's smallest violin when I complain about the lack of resist!Durge content because good god, Wyll and Minthara are fighting for their lives over here. But man, it really sucks knowing that patch 7 is allegedly Larian's last big content patch. Like if there was ever going to be an update where this sort of thing was added, it had to be this one. But it doesn't seem like Larian has any intention of closing the content disparity gap.

Me, as a baby teenager trying to convince myself I really fuckin LOVE Alistair while watching my brother be utterly obsessed with Morrigan and being jealous???

Me, as an older teenager finally allowing myself to be obsessed with Leliana (me when I was like SHE GOT WITH A WOMAN???)

Me, meeting my gf of seven years shortly after realizing I'm down bad for women

Me, as an adult loading up BG3 for the first time and KNOWING Shadowheart was the only one of these wonderful fuckers I'd romance EVER

Me discovering lesbianism through gaming is funniest (saddest) thing ever ngl
