#tavqotd Well, for me, it's waking up beside you to watch the sunrise on your face...~ 🦑🧡

#TavQOTD Xal considered him an annoying, ugly worm that was fun to piss off, but after Raphael cut him off from the Emperor, Xal got lil butthurt. He was truly comforted by the presence of the Emperor and the tadpole in his mind, but Raphael took that away from him as a demonstration of his power.

#Tavqotd Who the hell are you? Are you an idiot or what? The Emperor doesn't even know you, and neither do I. However, if you want to die foolishly, I can help. I'm not in the habit of trying to fix degenerates like you. Prepare for battle, clown.

#tavqotd Orpheus. No one annoyed Xal as much as that toad. Xal's life depended on Orpheus, and that fact alone made him furious. He wished the Emperor would get rid of him sooner, but the Emperor thought it was too risky. So Xal had no choice but to drown in his own rage and fear.

To my wish #Baldursgate3 #TheEmperor #bg3emperor #tavflayer

#TavQOTD - Empy 💜🦑 Ayumu was a lonely, misunderstood part-aberration desperate for survival, power, and most importantly, also connection and acceptance. Beyond the Emperor's guise of the Dream Guardian, which was merely the tip of the iceberg, Ayumu recognized the same core desires in him. ⏬

I greet you, child of the dark. #bg3 #fanart #omeluum #baldursgate3 @larianstudios.com

#TAVQOTD The Emperor The Emperor's loneliness, his mind, fear, voice, otherness, feelings, physiology, psychology, soul... his... everything. It was almost unbearable for him to watch this lone aberration dance alone on the very edge of the blade. Xal wanted to dance with him, play the same game.

#TavQOTD I'd say Ayumu would be the Ultra Black variant, just based on vibes/color. Never had this flavor before, but if I ever see it around here I want to try it now 🖤👀

#tavqotd I don't really have any good screenshots of this lighting, so here's Balduran for you.😌 Durge may be late.

#TavQOTD 💜❤️🤍

#tavqotd Snuggles. Or baths. Or both! But always with a nice, long nap afterward, as the rare act of illithid intimacy is an extremely vulnerable process that requires a lot of concentration & energy, ... guaranteed to knock them the fuck out, lmao. ' 3'

#TavQOTD 🤍 Ayumu x Xal ❤️ Renders and Xal are @inemperorsname.bsky.social's exquisite creations <3

#tavqotd Xal, though not a bard, sometimes likes to play the Esraj | Tar Shehnai. He instantly fell in love with the sound of the instrument as soon as he heard it and wanted to learn to play it himself. He's probably the only Illithid who plays this musical instrument perfectly.

#TavQOTD Ayumu takes great interest in anything touched by magic and will happily pocket such items. Relics, artifacts, stones, books, weapons, anything. Lately, she has also taken to collecting plant samples during her travels for later use in her artistic experiments involving blood and magic.

#TavQOTD Cuddling, wordlessly lingering in their embrace, gazing into their eyes...but sooner or later, Ayumu will inevitably fall into a deep sleep next to Xal & Empy. These moments are perhaps the only time her mind is at peace, allowing her to achieve usually very elusive, truly restful sleep.

#TavQOTD By using tadpole powers, Ayumu glimpsed Lae'zel's deepest fears, then poked exactly where it would hurt the most. Disoriented, Lae'zel backed off, lowered her blade. Ayumu was pleased by how effectively the tadpole resolved this, her desire for more of this power was only strengthened.

#tavqotd I don't care about companions and their relationships with each other/npcs. They never really clicked for me, and I don't like them. 😒 I enjoy Omeluum x Blurg instead, and this is my canon platonic relationships. Illithids and their expression of feelings has always interested me the most.

#tavqotd Xal is extremely traumatized by the giths and absolutely does not tolerate another gith trying to kill him. He generally doesn't tolerate anyone trying to kill him He started the fight, almost killing her and leaving her on the ground to bleed to death. He didn't care if she lived or died

#tavqotd Xal and Ayumu are both hybrid fighters, combining magic and brutal melee sword fighting. Xal is also pretty good at lock picking with psionic. The Emperor here is more as a moral support and cheerleader, lol. It's better not to take him into battle, he's better at throwing healing potions.

#tavqotd Scumsur. Because I hate fucking Scumsur, so Xal hates Scumsur too. It's inevitable. All my OC's and homies hate fucking Scumsur. I can't think of any other character who makes me feel as disgusted as Scumsur does, because this whole forced treatment thing is just too real for me.

#TavQOTD *inhales* Ansur. Just aNsUr. Everything about this pile of shit disgusts Ayumu to no end. He forced his unwanted "healing" onto the Emperor, then whenever that didn't pan out, he decided "merciful" death is all the Emperor deserves? Fuck that. Fuck Ansur. All my homies hate Ansur.

#TavQOTD #ocQOTD From their first meeting, Lugribossk remarked how the Emperor's allies failed to see his contribution to their survival. He gives him an epithet "Sinecoriel" - Undercommon for "great and powerful leader. He shortens it to "Sine" (great one) and calls him by this word henceforth.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that! Don't know what to write? Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point! #SaveSpeech #BskyCensorship

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

#bg3events #bg3emperor #theemperorweek 기쁨 Joy 어쨌거나 그들은 친구고, 연인이고, 가족입니다. 함께 있을 때 커다란 기쁨을 느낍니다. 단 둘이서 밤하늘을 보는 것도요. Anyway, they are friends, lovers, and family. When we are together, we feel great joy. Looking at the night sky. @theemperorweek.bsky.social

#TavQOTD The only titles given to her over the course of her life that matter to Ayumu are "The Emperor's Left Hand" and "The Second Sword of the Emperor (& of the KotS)". Her loyalty to the Emperor is undying, and her position by his side, as one of his two Swords, is where Ayumu flourishes.

A preview of the final variant theme, inspired from a scene of the original Twilight Zone. The final will also have a cityscape, but with a Lovecraftian film noir angle. #art #artsky #bg3 #bg3fanart #bg3emperor #theemperor #BaldursGate #dreadpunk #digitalart #Procreate #TheEmperorWeek #Lovecraft

“If you let me … I can evolve you!” Care to join me #TheEmperor, for the #BaldursGate3 2nd Anniversary signing! New art has been added - details below… 🦑🧠 hubs.la/Q03JTjj_0 #BG3 #ScottJoseph #BG3Anniversary #Streamily

#TavQOTD While not her first partner, the Emperor was certainly the first with whom Ayumu experienced much deeper emotions and a spectrum of intimacy previously unknown to her. When they gazed into the depths of each other's eyes, the troubles and superficialities of the world ceased to matter. ⏬

[황제/타브시드] - 안아주세요 #Baldursgate3 #TheEmperor #tavflayer

Art Train 🚂💨💨💨🌟 Show your OC's current design vs their first design I feel bad constantly reusing my one (or two) detailed pictures of Lugribossk - hopefully I can make more formal images of him down the road. #ocs #ocart #characterart #illithid #illithidOC #mindflayer #mindflayeroc #dnd #d&d

#TavQOTD He would take his favorite mimic with him. Mimic is always helpful and always makes his mood better. And besides, someone will have to drag the loot out of this mansion, and it definitely won't be Xal.

#tavqotd Xal can clearly (for himself and his kin) write/show the true meaning of his feelings/emotions towards the Emperor&Ayumu only in Qualith. Words are incomplete, sentences are flat, but he would say “everything” and “my desperate need”. His feelings hold much more meaning than he can express.

#bg3events #bg3emperor #theemperorweek (I thought about how to translate the word "Pride" into Korean.) They are proud of themselves. They are proud and confident, whether they are what they used to be or what they are now. I think having myself is more difficult than I thought.

#bg3events #bg3emperor #theemperorweek 미래 Future 모험이 끝나면 바닷가에 집을 짓고 동거합니다. 같이 산다는 건 정말로 까다롭고 어려운 일이지만 그들은 서로를 믿고 살 것입니다. 여전히 미래를 함께 그려나갈 일만 남았거든요.

#TavQOTD Ayumu has helped me with so many things, where do I even begin. 1) She's my vessel for all the feelings the Emperor evokes in me. Beyond that, Ayumu is a means for me to process my emotions, past, more. Earlier this year, she also connected me to Xal and his creator, whom I both cherish ❤️

#tavqotd 1. Xal really helps me with my never-ending depression. I mean, Xal can't heal me, of course, but he greatly alleviates my condition. When I write about him, I simultaneously delve deep into my soul. 2. Xal & Empy helped me find Ayumu & amazing people with whom I feel comfortable and safe.

#tavqotd Xal can... "speak". Some spells require verbal pronunciation rather than mental, so Xal had to learn to use his short tentacles as a tongue. He has mixed success with this, and in general, it would be better if no one heard it. His "speech" sounds terrible, but it's good enough for spells.

#TavQOTD Finally found time to hop into CC for this. For some past looks at least, because present/future Ayumu is always Illithid 🖤🦑 1) Growing up in a secluded crèche 2) Bhaal's Chosen pre-nautiloid 3) mid/late Act 3 4) new life after defeating the Absolute

Tfw you're just trying to go into character creation mode like a normal person and accidentally end up in some other dimension xD

#TavQOTD Nope, Ayumu is not a jealous individual. While she is bonded at the deepest level to the Emperor and Xal, they all have the freedom to also explore other people's minds, if they wish. She's happy with this aspect of their bond and with them both doing whatever they want, just like her.
