#tavqotd Who's your favorite? And why? Who is it that you keep going back to? Or do you consider it more of a rotating cast? Umm.... I don't think it's obvious 👀 Featuring Krios @roguerambles.bsky.social Kieran @kieranravenplume.bsky.social Xandros @cardigancarm.bsky.social #ElizaOC

#BG3Alphabet R - Ravioli & Rae Rocking. Usually Rav is pretty vigilant about Rae's alcohol intake, but sometimes he sneaks a few too many in while she's working. While she likes having him join her on stage, she WILL beat him up afterwards for drinking. With love. #BG3VP #RaeBG3 #RavioliTheBard

Alrighty! Let's find out #TavQOTD Aurora - Bi (Leans more towards men) Beatrice - Anything Goes Cinder - Lesbian Eliza - Pansexual (But pretty much will fuck almost anything, ask the werewolves) Julia - Bi Winter - Bi #AuroraOC #BeatriceOC #CinderOC #ElizaOC #JuliaOC #WinterOC

#TavQOTD #RaeBG3 Depends on a plethora of things for Rae. If his mood is bad he might respond with a knife to a suitor's throat—same if the flirtations are empty or about his looks. Blunt honesty, however, can easily intrigue him. If so, he'll almost always play hard to get, yet slyly flirt back.

#bg3alphabet R is for RAE'S worst day in which he meets RAV I'd be REMISS if I did not celebrate RELIVING the moment the worsties got to meet in the best, worst, most cursed version of Faerûn. Get those "r's" in. 🤭 Crash out king compliments of: @itsnad.bsky.social #RavioliTheBard #RaeBG3 #bg3vp

#tavqotd Eliza lost her mother's violin, she had it in her room in Moonrise Towers. Orin found it and left it on some trader's table and it passed several people before Eliza found it on the road after the Blighted Village #ElizaOC

#tavqotd Majin was a lot rougher around the edges when she and Astarion first met. She had just lost her mother & older brother and was searching for her younger brother when abducted, so she was stern and aggressive at first. Astarion saw a humanoid shield with pretty green eyes 🤣

#TavQOTD Impressions 🧵 That he was a civilian needing her help. Bella doesn't think twice about saving people so she rescued Gale. He seemed nice enough, spoke of magic she didn't understand and places she'd never been, so she didn't think they had much in common. 📸 by Luna! ❤️ #Arabella 🔨 #BG3

Len's first impression of Gale is basically: "gods, this man just fell on top of me. Rude. Inconvenient. Ridiculous. ...And bearded, with beautiful eyes. Oddly charming. Unfairly handsome. I suppose I can forgive him. But this is backwards, I need HIM to be underneath ME" #Elenion #Starweave 🧵1/4

#tavqotd Iris was NOT a fan of Astarion upon first meeting. Giving him a nice headbutt and cold shoulder for the first few nights. Astarion had similar thoughts. Not thrilled to be following a paladin or be scolded by them either.

#tavqotd Might be a bit dramatic to say that Jane experienced love at first sight but uh- yeah that's what happened. Immediately enamored by the wizard and his every word. Gale was cautious with Jane, though she showed great kindness, he was worried about her mental state given her appearance

Mom and Dad had a rocky start, on account of Mom being a paranoid individual coming off of 13 years of no human contact. She's been arguing with raccoons a lot these days, too much weird shit. Gale gets caught up on the part where she's a towering giant who stares too intensely. #juniper #tavqotd

Timi couldn't remember much of his past, but he remembered hearing of the Blade of Frontiers, and maybe his little bard heart already had a bit of a crush on him. Wyll was impressed with how mindful Timi handled things in the grove, and they were fast friends. #timithidux #wyll #fiddleblade 🎻⚔️

Thez and Louis's first interactions probably went about like this

Neena: “He is the most beautiful being I’ve ever seen and I must protect him at all costs” Astarion: “Why in the hells is this silly little bard being so nice to me after I just held a knife to her throat?” Basically she imprints on him like a puppy and he is just confused 🐶 #tavqotd #astarion

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dalamus thought Gloria was a potential threat, to the point of aiming a dagger at her, being determined not to trust her. Meanwhile, Gloria thought that while Dal was potentially dangerous, he was clearly injured, likely frightened, and she just wanted to help him.

#tavqotd #durge “Well hello” astarion pulling the knife on lorcan just made him curious and thought he was pretty and took it as flirting” Astarion however wasnt impressed.

Gale immediately over-explaining ceremorphosis (something Parsipan already knew about) like Parsipan was a moron and then calling him illiterate for not being a wizard *immediately* put Gale in a *lot* of danger. If he hadn't proved himself in the next fight, he'd be a dead man walking. But! 🧵

With Lavi and Karlach it was first respect ( for surviving the blood war/ for being a good leader), then they found out, they had a mutual enemy with Gortash and then they started to talk more and liked each other and then came the attraction

#tavqotd Gale thought Deia to be fascinating and strange in a good way. Knew there was something off about her magic, but grew to trust her quickly, noting she's dangerous, yes, but good. Deia was surprised by him. He was the first wizard to not call her an abomination. He was kind to her instead.

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀 #Bloodtrident🩸🔱 Vanya was confused as to why a weak little man was trying her, and Astarion thought she was just another holier-than-thou Paladin (especially after twisting his arm and telling him to “try to learn from this” after healing him)(he learned nothing)

Oooh now this is fun. Evie was very confused when she'd woken up, so she didn't notice Astarion's sneak attack until she was on the ground. But I mean... that's a very Gortash thing to do, and she vaguely remembered her ex, so she was drawn to Astarion from the beginning. Just the way he spoke and-

#batstarion sunday summer theme reveal! Family Hiking 🫰

💙 Commission Complete! 💙 This time for the wonderful @thiriann.bsky.social! A little bit of modern AU, a little bit of canon, all with the theme of soft and cosy 😁 #bg3 #bg3vp #tavstarion #astarion #tav #bg3tav

Bella Noire 🕵🏻‍♀️ 🔎 [jazz music plays, brooding cinematography] There's a new detective on the block, kid... I was super excited to see this outfit refitted for BT3 so obviously I had to pay homage to one of my favourite games lmao. #Arabella 🔨 #BG3 #LANoire #BG3VP #OC #Tav

#OCQOTD What sort of shitpost/meme would your original character relate to best? This one is definitely Bella I'm sorry 😂 I'm back doing what I do best... making fun of my OC lmao. #Arabella 🔨 #BG3 #BG3Meme #Paladin

“Well he certainly thinks highly of himself. But another spellcaster could be useful.” “Oh my, he’s…pretty. Mustn’t get distracted! Hardly the time! Seems a bit too casual about this tadpole business 🧐” (it’s called keeping your thoughts to yourself, Gale, you should try it) #bg3vp #tavqotd #CiroOC

"He looks good with a knife," says the part of Gnash's brain where self-preservation skills aren't. He managed to sleight of hand his way out of ending up on the ground, but the threat of a knife-wielding elf remained. And yet, in their mutual desperation, he saw... understanding. 1/2 #tavqotd

Stardust thought Gale was very chatty (that’s how he won her over) and he thought she was a great listener. As they grew closer, they realized they both enjoyed stories a lot and it wasn’t just Gale monologuing all the time and asking her questions 😅 #galedekarios #stardustweave

#tavqotd Empy - The most pathetic Illithid I’ve ever seen. It’s funny, but I’m pathetic too. Ayumu - Gith! Another fucking gith! How many more like you will I have to kill before the universe realises that it's not a good idea to send these disgusting motherfuckers my way? ... Although... wait...

#tavqotd Dollystine met first many years ago, when Dolly was a paladin in training, then Dominisk, and Auggie was an apothecary's apprentice. Dolly found him striking, fascinating - the first person they gave their true name. Auggie was already in love before they met, not that he knew what it was.

Nerys: Oh no he’s hot 😡 WWAMBT?* Fun to play chicken with, but what the hell is his deal? I can’t figure it out and it’s PISSING ME OFF. Astarion: Now, there’s someone who would be good protection…quite a bit more of a challenge than my usual mark, though, and awfully mysterious. #tavqotd #astarys

#tavqotd First Impressions Everett's first impression, he couldn't think nor speak. He was just shocked that such a good looking man held a knife to his throat. He was twitterpated Astarion could only wrinkle his nose at the smell coming off the Tiefling. Neither good + #EverettOC

What was Astarion’s first impression of Willow? It was… interesting, but I’ll let him tell you 😝 (TLDR he thought she was a weak little whore, he was wrong — at least about the weak part) 🏷️ #BloodDancerBG3 #TavQOTD

#TavQotD "Fuck *me*, you're bloody gorgeous!" She just blurted it out, Karlach was a massive awakening for Cassie. She always loved women before, but Karlach awakened her love of tall, strong women especially! She thought she was gorgeous, and their personalities gelled together perfectly! 1/2

#tavqotd #KarkkiPlaysBG3 Marcus' impression of Astarion went like this: "This is an obvious scam. Not trustworthy." -> Intrigued that Astarion was committed enough to threaten Marcus even though he could obviously overpower Astarion. -> "Oh he's actually kinda desperate and sort of pathetic." 1/4

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/2 Boris was thrown off guard. He had only seen Sabre as the Dream Guardian. Now here he was, in the flesh and revealing that he was the white raven he had befriended all along. He also grew curious of him. How different was he from his dream counterpart? Why was he in...

#tavqotd For Anastasia, who had never been far from Baldur's Gate, meeting a wizard from Waterdeep was immediately exciting. Also, he was handsome. Gale probably thought she looked too soft to be out in the wilderness (she was). But she'd pulled him from the portal, so he was grateful.

#tavqotd For Alleryel, I think this sums it up quite nicely. Thanks to @voyeuristicbeast.bsky.social for capturing this moment perfectly.

#tavqotd First Impressions! 🧵 Halla and Gilnor met some months before the tadpole adventure. Halla was out drinking at the Elfsong, and while taking in the evening air, Gilnor stumbled into her view. He was hurt, had no idea who he was aside from his name, and covered in blood. She thought he was-

#tavqotd First Impressions #bg3 #durgeqotd #baldursgate3 #bg3ask Li'louvre "Finally a Gith, someone I can trust, someone who can tell me I'm not insane. Holy shit she's strong" Immediate turn on Lae'zel "Has she no discipline from her Creche? Control yourself woman!"

#OCKai thought Karlach was amazing partly because she had helped him out of the pickle he found himself in when he woke up after the nautiloid crashed. Karlach was worried and concerned, but over time the pair fell hard for one another though Kai certainly fell harder despite feeling unworthy of her

[ #tavqotd ] Thomas's first thought was 'huh, kinda cute' but morphed quickly into 'fucking arrogant dickhead' after Gale made some Comments About Sorcerers. Gale was drawn in by Thomas very quickly and wanted to befriend from day one, so was very distressed by this. :') How things changed!

#tavqotd Rav: That head sure looks butt-able. Astarion: "Little bitch!" He thought this candy-colored bard would be an easy target, until she head-butted him. Rav thought he was cute but good gods was he an asshole. She could forgive him for the attack. They were (1/3) #RavioliTheBard #Astarion

Ofelia's first impression of Astarion was equal parts suspicion/intruige. I wrote this interaction from his perspective initially, but she was wary- recognizing the ferality in his eyes and the distrust like looking into a mirror of her younger self 💔 #ofelia #tavqotd #durgeoc #starsong

#tavQOTD First Impressions Sorixa: “He had the audacity to hold a knife to my neck… I like that in a man. Astarion: “…this woman SMIRKED at being held at knife point. I fear I’m fucked.” 😂 #AstarionBG3 #Sorixa #Durge

Orya first saw Astarion as a harsh uncaring jerk. Astarion saw Orya as a gullible scared princess. He would have thought delicate as well but had to take that off after she head butted him in a desperate attempt to save herself 😂 #tavqotd #tav #oc #bg3

#BG3Alphabet Q - Quest. The tadfool's main quest is what pushes them forward, through woods and a swamp, across a cursed land, and all over the city of Baldur's Gate itself. This quest is also what inevitably makes them grow closer and forges an undeniable bond between them all. #BG3VP #RaeBG3
