#tavqotd Solo. He doesn't need all these losers. In extreme cases, he could take someone as cannon fodder, but in most cases he needed no one but himself and the Emperor. Xal is a lone wolf. However, in the future, his permanent party will consist of himself and Ayumu.

#tavqotd Xal doesn't care. He doesn't care what anyone says about him; he wants acts and thoughts, not words. He never trusted words and never will, because words are empty.

#tavqotd No. I have seen the Emperor several times in my dreams, but Xal avoids me at all costs. Or maybe I just don't remember. In any case, it's a shame. I would like to see his beautiful eyes, even if only in my dreams.

#tavqotd Xal never knew how to flirt and never tried to do so. He treated the Emperor gently, as gently as he was capable of being. With interest. He never considered the Emperor to be his lover, and yet the presence of the Emperor's mind in his own mind comforted him.

#TavQOTD I found the most perfect Ayumu tea 🖤 Ayahuasca tea. A shamanic, psychoactive tea that can cause vivid hallucinations, panic, euphoria and/or nausea. Has been described to taste, I quote "bitter and fetid, like forest rot and bile, like dirty socks and raw sewage, like a toad in a blender."

#TavQOTD Ayumu is a Durge, so she was just in her pod in the colony. Barely lucid, bloodied, banging her forehead against the glass from the inside. Like a rabid, caged creature. At one point, after what felt like ages, the pod's lid broke. She stumbled out, wandered aimlessly, but didn't get far.

#TavQOTD Just a few hours ago, I wanted to write something else for this, but now I've just written the perfect answer elsewhere. This snippet of madness sums up Ayumu's amalgamation of bizarre nightmares quite well. CW: cosmic horror? 😅

타브더지 : 황제가 짱이지 그치 황제 : (제발이라는 감정) #Baldursgate3 #TheEmperor #bg3emperor

#tavqotd Moss's favorite treat is simply a shared walk in the woods. They & the Emperor are both workaholics and don't get out much, so it's a rare gift when they're able to convince their partner to get away from the paperwork long enough to meditate & enjoy some peaceful nature together. <:')

#tavqotd Karsus Magic, Magic of his Patron, Magic infused with the Far Realm, Magic of Shadows, Blood Magic... Any Arcane&Psionics. Xal experiments with all the magic available to him, creating completely insane combinations and hybrids. The only magic he cannot understand is divine magic.

#TavQOTD 1. His biological ‘mother’ is an Illithid, but in the body of a Drow. An anomaly that was able to conceive and give birth in a humanoid way. However, it rejected Xal immediately after his birth.

#TavQOTD For the sake of everyone's sanity, let's pretend that Za'rak here is just an ordinary Beholderkin. Not actually one single eye of an ancient eldritch entity of countless eyes (which is also Ayumu's "parent", a fact she is unaware of). Nope, Za'rak is totally just a cute lil' Beholderkin 😌

#TavQOTD Ayumu: "Would you look at that, seems Akabi is still cheesing people." Cheesed NPC: "..." Ayumu: "I don't get nutritional value from cheese, but you're a cheesed person. Your brain is cheese, your thoughts are cheese. If I eat you, will I know who you are, or will I just know... cheese?"

#TavQOTD My Ayumu & @inemperorsname.bsky.social's Xal. The black diamond and the red diamond 🖤❤️

#tavqotd Moss's birth name is Gardenia, like the planet & astrological sign. Their parents picked it after looking at the daily Almagest. (They don't know this, though, since they were abandoned in the woods soon after.) They picked their current name after the comforting fuzz they love so much. 🌿

#tavqotd 1. They see each other as partners rather than lovers. 2. Xal is completely loyal to the Emperor in the hope that by doing so, he will one day be able to take the Emperor's place, getting close enough to him and overthrowing him from his throne. 3. Xal is "hot", the Emperor is "cold".

#tavqotd Marry the Emperor and Ayumu. Xal respects himself and them too much to even consider such a thing. He generally sees marriage as a contract that is useless to him or as sentimental nonsense that he does not need.

So after endless waiting on appointments, I finally got my ADHD diagnosis on Friday. Today is day 2 on meds. I have a massive headache, sleep is more fucked than usual, but doing anything at all finally doesn't feel damn near impossible anymore. The chaos in my mind is...quieter. A weird feeling lol

Hello, sweetie. I hope you'll be comfortable on the Nautiloid.

The Emperor is a bit strange today.

Just #TheEmperor being an exquisite model 💜

#TavQOTD The Emperor in shot 1 said "the boots stay on for cuddles" 😭😂

I'm... endlessly tempted to get another signed Emperor print. I have been for weeks. Scott's streamily page has been open in one of my many browser tabs since tonight's stream was announced. I already have a signed artwork, yet the other artworks are also so beautiful, I don't know if I can resist 😭

🚨LAST FEW HOURS🚨 TONIGHT at 20:00 (GMT) / 12:00 (PST) #theemperor from #bg3 is live-signing. Order artwork here: streamily.com/scottjoseph ..including this beauty 'Haunted By Memories' by @shade-of-stars.bsky.social 🙏🤩🦑🧠 #baldursgate3 #baldursgate3fanart #Mindflayer #streamily #livesigning

My treasure

#TavQOTD There's nothing she'd change, not even her most agonizing or humiliating moments. The path to the present Ayumu cherishes so much only exists as this one particular sequence of wounds, choices, events, and memories - painful *and* pleasant. To alter anything would mean losing everything.

#TavQOTD Definitely magic, the Far Realm, and also philosophical topics such as metaphysics or the intricacies of the mind itself. Any topic full of unexplored depths and unanswered questions, really. Ayumu could talk endlessly about it all, but also thoroughly enjoys listening to others' thoughts.

#TavQOTD Inflicting physical pain onto Ayumu is akin to pouring gasoline onto embers. Pain acts as an amplifier for her already devastating magic and activates her deeply ingrained 'survive, fight, no matter what'-instincts. It's… terrifying how much pain this little squid can handle and thrive in.

#tavqotd Astarion. Astarion reminds Xal of disgusting, sticky candy that he can't wash his hands of. The day he got rid of Astarion became one of the best days of his life.

More Qud sprites! I made these to help out in a mod jam this halloween c: I'll share the mod when it's up on the steam workshop! #cavesofqud #fanart #coq #pixelart #alien #illithid #xenomorph

#TavQOTD Yes, she killed it. Post-ceremorphosis, Ayumu's power rivaled the volatility of dying star, which wasn't only metaphorical. Bhaal's claim loomed over her, and she wanted to unleash her fury and power while she still could, whilst protecting the Emperor and ensuring his freedom at any cost.

#TavQOTD Ayumu's favorite are mind kisses. Illithids are kissers of the mind, and it's very different to a traditional kiss. Deeper. A kiss of one another's thoughts, feelings, memories. Another favorite of hers are tentacle-entwining kisses. (Render of our squids by @inemperorsname.bsky.social ❤️)

#TavQOTD To call it an education is a stretch, it was more of a constant fight for survival. During her youth in the crèche her egg was placed in by Bhaal, Ayumu was molded into a ruthless assassin. Protocols dictated everything; anyone who didn't learn to 'play the game' was dealt a swift death.
