This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

#tavmaster #tavqotd Boram spins the wheel... "... Deferential? *Really*?" She huffs out a sigh. "Fine. I suppose I need to change first, however. I'll be back." She walks away, mumbling something about 'dance training'. When she comes back, she's wearing an all-white hanbok and holding... 1/4

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

#tavmaster #tavqotd Just her luck; while on her many trips to fetch discarded editions of the Baldur's Mouth, Boram remembers encountering the collapsed husk of a Steel Watcher behind the Gazette building. "What a convenient part of town, too..." [1/3]

#tavmaster #tavqotd "I can't believe you have me doing this," Boram grumbles, lugging what must be her tenth full cart of discarded editions of the Baldur's Eye towards a particular part of the river used as a community landfill. "Nobody reads these rags anyhow." She shrugs. [1/3]

#tavmaster #tavqotd "Oooh, this one was *fun*," says Boram, the subtlest of smirks tugging at her lips. "It took a bit of strategizing, but I executed it *flawlessly*. We should be seeing our 'celebrity' making an appearance soon; just give it some time." [1/4]

#tavmaster #tavqotd "You know, it's impressive how much fresh produce you can get with one gold." Boram has Dolly's kimchi urn once again. "Okay, no stolen baby fakeout this time; I promise." She places the urn on the ground and opens the lid to show that it's full of kimchi. "Actually..." 1/2

#tavmaster #tavqotd Boram approaches carrying Dolly's decorated kimchi urn. "I mean, I take this from your house on the regular..." Then, with a devilish grin, she does a little jump spin to reveal: The baby on her back is *not* Jin, but Fyodor. "HAHAHA, NOT MY BABY. I STOLE A BABY"

The only acceptable amount of genAI usage is zero, IMO.

#tavqotd Boram knows hunger, the deep kind that rots you from the inside out and the desperation that comes with it. She’ll wait until others have taken their fill, and then load her plate with a very modest serving and eat slowly. #BoramOC

#tavqotd Boram has that good ol’ one-two punch of Autism and ADHD, along with an overflowing helping of PTSD As one can expect, this makes her an absolute delight to be around and she has tons of friends!!! (Although autistic, she has a fine grasp on the concept of sarcasm) #BoramOC

#tavqotd Boram has very similar vibes in a modern AU, just minus the insistence on always wearing hanbok. She’s definitely more on the streetwear side of things; she’s got lots of crop tops and baggy pants, best believe. #BoramOC

#tavqotd It’s weird, I feel insecure about Boram a lot, actually. I worry that she’s too abrasive and blunt, and her lack of filter has me holding back on interacting with other OCs/answering a fair amount of questions. It’s still a new thing for me, sharing my OCs with others.

#tavqotd “Come on, and feel alive, lover Come on and feel the love, like a sinner Shout it louder, shout it for the ones who could never say I won’t feel ashamed, mother Can you break the chains, off her? Shout it louder, not a sinner, she’s a lover” open.spotify.com/track/7Lia8H...

#tavqotd A primary theme of Boram’s story is agency: fighting for the ability to take control of her life and make her own choices at last. Some key #BoramOC personality traits: - witty - resilient - unfiltered - abrasive - playful (Art by @russica.bsky.social!)

#tavqotd I have two, but I'll keep to one for now: This is Finnley: Half-elf ranger/fighter, former Zhent, all stupid He has the attitude and brains of a golden retriever, bless his boots

#tavqotd #ocqotd This is Boram - she's my sassy, short fox girl that's blunt as a brick to the face and dealing with decades-worth of trauma (including but not limited to being the unwitting subject of a spite-fueled, interplanar custody battle)! ... she also knows you're staring at her areola.

#tavqotd (1/2) Gonna leave things rather vague but there are definitely a few personally significant themes I explore with Boram and my writing: - struggling with connection / loneliness - exhibiting 'performative worth' - learning to trust others - healing from trauma / grief

#tavember Boram has a singular, massive scar taking up the majority of her back. Received via branding by her archfey patron, it serves as both a 'receipt' and a deed of ownership: She gave the archfey her birth name in exchange for a new one and a promise to never return to poverty. She is bound.

oh, that's... that's not... you can't call it that

#tavqotd Prom isn't a thing in Korea, so Boram never had one. She doesn't really get the concept of school-related gatherings beyond field trips. You can catch her smoking outside the venue at the OC prom, people watching. #BoramOC

#tavember The red lotus tattooed on Boram's forehead was given to her the day after she was purchased by the man who would be her final master. He was a man who amassed his own harem of sorts, giving each of them the same lotus tattoo as an indication of their 'pedigree'. #BoramOC

#dailyocs #wipwednesday WIP Wednesday! It's actually Wednesday! Here's a snippet of the (already published) chapter 2 of my current WIP fic: Sunset on the Empire 🌄 (it's a WWII AU) (is sharing something already published bending the rules a little? Meh. Fic's not done, soooo🤷‍♀️)

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, ICARUS! #tavqotd Boram's birthday just passed! It's 11/7! (or 7/11 for those of you who put the date first, huehue) (she doesn't actually know it) Boram is bringing sweet rice cakes and Icarus' favourite honey cookies! (And her son; she couldn't find a sitter) #BoramOC

#tavqotd Boram was a Trophy: A fancy painted doll designed to sit on a shelf and be looked at in addition to being purchased and played with however the buyer desires. Everyone squashed her autonomy... until she took it back. #BoramOC

#bg3qotd #tavqotd Top 3 favourite and least favourite BG3 characters! Hoo boy, here we go Favourite: Rugan Salazon Ethel's Door Least Favourite: Roah Moonglow Nere Gortash

#tavember Like @redroomroaving.bsky.social's Augustine, Boram's nature is also to persevere, albeit somewhat differently. For most of her life, Boram's perseverance was spite-driven. Her masters all tried to break her spirit; she refused to give them the satisfaction. #BoramOC

Eeeef I’ve been sick for the past week or so I gotta get back on the tavqotd horse

#Tavember As someone who was forced to socialize and perform for decades, Boram is very choosy about who she socializes with. In a public space or gathering, she's more than content to stand back and observe, always picking up a thing or two by the time she's left. #BoramOC

We are all, at best, temporarily abled.

#tavqotd Boram... isn't quite the comforting type, unless you've managed to establish a close bond with her (such is the case with @redroomroaving.bsky.social's Augustine and @russica.bsky.social's Icarus). She may not be the best with words or gestures, but she may offer to eliminate the problem 🫠

A little something for day one of @whirlinginroses.bsky.social’s #BG3firstsweek ♥️ #Foxhound had their first kiss in Chapter 4 of my fic Caravan King ♥️ #BoramOC #bg3events

#tavqotd Boram as a tea or coffee? She’s either a barley tea or a black americano—preferably the size of her head, too #BoramOC

#tavqotd During her decades as a courtesan, Boram encountered many odd... "requests" (read: demands) from her clientele. She'd rather not talk about most of them. "Let your imagination do the work for you; you're probably right on the money, anyhow." #BoramOC

#tavqotd two truths and a lie, ship edition! 🦊Rugan has paid for Boram's services in the past 🦊Rugan has saved Boram's life 🦊Rugan proposed to Boram entirely by accident #BoramOC #foxhound

#tavqotd two truths and one lie, both sfw and #nsfw #BoramOC... 🪷has a sweet tooth 🪷has a smoking habit 🪷will eat anything NSFW: 🔞has nipple and tongue piercings 🔞enjoys being choked 🔞has had an affair with the wife of a former master (image made with: picrew.me/en/image_mak...)

(I forgive you, hahahah) 😂 Boram actually isn't a Tav, per se! So in her BG3 continuity, she's actually part of the Zhentarim with Rugan at that time! (They use the internal schism caused by the events of BG3 to leave the Zhent and start a new life on the outside post-game) ❤️

#tavqotd I suppose this is where I reveal that Boram is coupled with Rugan, hahaha I call them #Foxhound and I have Too Many Feelings about them so without further ado, here are 4 pictures with Foxhound vibes:

#TavQOTD Boram's name is composed of two characters: 寳: "treasure" 覽: "view", "observation", "prospect" She's had it interpreted in several ways: "beautiful view" "prospective treasure" ... "valuable object"... (at its base, the word 'boram' in itself means 'worth', or 'worthwhile') #BoramOC

#BoramOC... doesn't know how old she is anymore. She knew her birth year (in the Shou calendar, Koryo being a tributary state of Shou Lung) and its corresponding zodiac animal, but once she was taken to Faerûn, her sense of time was skewed (both by the journey and the calendar change)... (1/2)

🪷Let’s share my OC boundaries🪷 Fanart OK? ✅ I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER Shipping OK? Only with her partner, please ♥️ Fanfic OK? ✅ [see “Fanart”] Can others draw their OCs with her? ✅ YES! NSFW OK? 😉Let’s chat about that! Odds are I’ll say yes! (Just tag me, pretty please!!)

#Tavember #BoramOC Boram is surprisingly educated for someone of her gender and social class. Being a gisaeng (courtesan) is a dual-edged sword; while it dooms her to the bottom of the fantasy-Confucian social strata of Koryo, it also grants her both an education and a recorded name. (1/3)

I should really make a sub tag for all of Bo’s lore as #Bovember Why? Because I can (and it rhymes, which is neat)

#Tavember Nobody told Boram what time of year she was born. Not like it mattered, when everyone turns a year older at the new year. All she knows is that it was cold outside. How was she received? Her father already had a son, he was relieved he didn’t have to teach another… Her mother…? (1/2)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BORAM TIME TO TALK ABOUT YOUR LORE ON THE INTERNET (she's so excited, you guys) #BoramOC

Without further ado: THE CHART @redroomroaving.bsky.social's #Augustinetet compared to #BoramOC! Feel free to compare Boram to your OCs use her as a snarky little yardstick (I take no responsibility for anything she says while you do it though; that is a risk you'll have to be willing to take)

Aaah she's already making friends in the sandbox! YAY!! @redroomroaving.bsky.social, shall I bring out The Chart? Boram stands at a hulking... 150cm (4'11), which is fun to compare to just about anything, but PARTICULARLY Augustine. #Tavqotd #BoramOC

also: it must be pointed out that Augustine has straight up LIFTED Bo in the second picture (the only way to get her remotely close to his height) (I like to imagine that he lifts her up to show her things she's never seen before, like the tops of shelves and cabinets) #BoramOC #Augustinetet
