You couldn't take Astarion to see Nosferatu in the theater. Not because it'd be triggering for him or anything. But because every five minutes, he'd turn to you with the saddest eyes imaginable and hysterically ask, "I don't look like that, right?! Most vampires don't look like that!" And you'd have to reassure him through the whole 132 minutes run time.
Just realised I haven't shown off Turmeric's new look yet!
When I was first playing with adding mods for some visual uniqueness for new characters, I found this 'winter plait' in "More Hair 2" (by eleanorroos) and immediately fell in love with it for her. I was already planning on changing her hair anyway and this is absolutely perfect in how it looks like a natural evolution from her previous hair - even using the same bit of ear-covering fringe at the front.
I also changed the colour - just by removing the highlights - because all the turmeric's been beaten out of her hair by now, there isn't a hint of yellow left in there. Her current name is now more a remnant of a bygone time as she grows more distant from the 'just a normal bard' phase of her life, and it shows.
In the story, I'm saying the reason for her rapid hair growth is the effect of a wild magic surge from Honeymeans. It was down to her ankles at first, which Bingemir laughed himself silly to see when the next delivery arrived (and Hush was thankfully willing to help in cutting it). Turmeric definitely gained a new respect for Orin's giant braid as she desperately tried to wrangle her own mass of Rapunzel hair before it could continue to trail in the snow and catch against the ridges of the tomb's walls any longer.
Does Eats Chairs... eat chairs, perchance?
How could you tell?
Unfortunately options for chair-eating are limited in-game but I had to let my girl get her enrichment somehow so I went around smashing every chair I could and pretending that counted (they should give dragonborns a bite ability, those chompers could so some damage if they wanted to), which is how I, quite happily, stumbled across the Club of Hill Giant Strength which I then let her use for the rest of the game because of course.
LOOK AT HER, SHE'S SO PRETTY, SHE'S SO CUTE. I'd let her eat every chair in my house, and so should you-
She's a blue dragonborn so she can spew lightning as well, which is objectively the coolest breath weapon to have. This blue colouration, with the little highlights of gold looks so good to me- it kind of reminds me of the giant adra statue in Pillars of Eternity, if people know what that is. And the mellow fruit dye on her armour, she's just *chef's kiss*. I am never not thinking of her.
Her run was started mostly from me wanting to see what all this Durge stuff was about, and also wanting to romance Gale because his nerdy charms had bewitched me, so my profile picture is actually from a screencap of her the moment after she finished very happily stabbing Gale to death!
^ pictured- someone whose save is about to be reloaded, because I wasn't going to leave it like that. She and Gale are very happy together in Waterdeep with no-one doing any ascending to godhood or accepting godhood or anything of that sort.
^ pictured- someone who is about to smooch that tiny little wizard to within an inch of his life.
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 feel some people may enjoy these
Orin baldursgate is conceptually the funniest character of all time on account of simultaneously being a changeling whose whole thing is SHE COULD BE ANYONE AT ANY TIME who also she cannot refrain for more than 45 seconds from monologuing about getting into someone’s thoracic cavity with her teeth and lovingly tearing all the heart-muscle to pearly pink ribbons
anyone else hate asking for help and would rather set themselves on fire than do it or is that just me
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
