#tavqotd Nothing that hot, but as a tiefling, Courage can withstand high temperatures than a lot of other races. She takes a HOT bath to the point that Astarion sometimes has to wait for it to cool down first before joining. He gives her a hard time about it. She also gets cold very easily.

#tavqotd Courage has exactly one piercing. One of her ears, I think her right, has a small gold hoop in it. She got it when sailing with her uncle. In her AU with @lycanicorn.bsky.social’s Dren, after he goes missing, she finds a single earring of his left behind and wears it forever after that.

Sketching from Your Prompts, Part 8: A toad - @alderaandor.bsky.social A fork - @corgibloodtime.bsky.social M'aiq the Liar with some calipers - @faeeevee.bsky.social Ice cream forks look like toad feet to me, so I got the idea for a little Toad Sentry. Also, M'aiq is a dentist now.

#tavqotd #NSFW Yes! So, currently, Courage is bushless because (and I know this is silly) I couldn’t make the curtains match the drapes in game. In canon, though, Courage has pink peach fuzz on her arms, mild pink hair on her legs, and the pink bush, well groomed and trimmed, but there.

#tavqotd (For fun, I’m gonna imagine pre- Astarion Courage) Courage would gladly take his hand. She wouldn’t immediately intend it to be romantic, but she wouldn’t close the door completely. Dance partner today, friend tomorrow. And who knows what the future holds? For now, she’s happy to dance

#tavqotd Assuming she’s not already involved, she’s not the most helpful. If it’s not too serious, she’ll create a musical score for the moment. Imagine general camp chaos and then Courage just playing the Benny Hill theme on a kazoo. At least until Gale reminds her she’s the leader.

1 Rae for @itsnad.bsky.social I adore this man, and he deserves to glow! #houndART

Sneakpeek of a WIP #houndWIP very excited to finish this

#tavqotd Courage was miserable. She did her best to put on a brave face, but she was terrified inside. Every day, she faced the curse, and every night she would crumble. Astarion was the only one who saw the true toll it took on her. He was her rock through act 2.

#tavqotd 🧵1/2 Sorta? Courage befriended the chillest “god” ever when she met Pan. This is my dm’s homebrew Pan. Shout out to @wolf-of-greybridge.bsky.social His version of Pan is a ten foot tall blue goat man with a long, white chin beard. He sees himself as a boss more than a god or king.

#tavqotd Courage was fortunate enough to have been sailing before with her pirate captain uncle, so it was not her first harpy rodeo. She was able to avoid them as a result. You can read about it here: archiveofourown.org/works/762114...

Ok. This is admittedly VERY hard. I think I’m good at character creation and development. I try to explore my characters deeply and give them lots of strengths and flaws so that there’s stakes and trials for them, but also room for neat moments where they shine.

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal looks at the apple in his hand, a tart green one he'd "stolen" from Gale. His favorite treat on the Surface. And he thinks about it. Then thinks about what Courage said about trying new things, doing things he wouldn't normally do. Little things. And offers the apple.

#tavqotd Tav/Tav etc Multiple! Canon: #Veldren and #Yarrow (past), Veldren and #Nira'al (post-tadpole), #Vril'eth and #Solaufein AU: #Veldren and Courage ( @couragebonnemort.bsky.social ) #Veldren and Meidhreach ( @lilacmilktea.bsky.social )

#tavqotd Courage speaks three languages fluently: common, infernal, and sylvan. Over the years, thanks to Astarion, she picks up a little elvish and some thieves cant.

#tavqotd The problem with Courage being a bard is that she loves to entertain and show off, so most of her talents aren’t a complete shock. Her more surprising talents include her ability to compose songs entirely out of armpit farts and her knack for throwing her voice.

#tavqotd #CourageAU Courage has two AU relationships currently with other Tavs/Durges. 1. Kieran, her sweet warlock @kieranravenplume.bsky.social 2. Veldren, her devoted Durge @lycanicorn.bsky.social Pics by Kieran and Hound

#tavqotd Courage didn’t let Astarion stick around long enough to kill Gandrel. “Ast-t-tarion? N-nope, d-don’t know anyone b-by that n-n-name, b-but if I s-see him I’ll l-let you kn-know.” Then she grabbed Astarion’s arm and yanked him out SO FAST.

So, if I eat nothing but Ramen for the next fifty years, I can afford the BTS world tour tickets, right?

#tavqotd Courage would ADORE DnD; however, she’d have the gag character every time. She’d have a fighter called Farticus or something like that, but she’d get too into it and before you know it Farticus is the heart of the party. But yeah, definitely DnD.

#tavqotd Her record is definitely Astarion. They slept together maybe a week in. The whole thing was very uncharacteristic for Courage, but, to her surprise, it worked out. Both her prior relationships, they knew each other for about a month first.

#tavqotd Courage is somewhere in the middle. She sees it more like a jam session or like a jazz set. She has a rough sketch of what will work, but leaves room for improvisation. Battle is too organic to plan that much. It’s more about synergy as a team.

#tavqotd Ice cream! Duh! Courage is taking Vril’eth straight to the Wide for shopping and street food before finishing the outing up with a scoop. 🩷

#tavqotd #NSFW 🧵 for Courage’s multiple partners. Astarion: The morning after, Courage was conflicted. Sleeping with Astarion went against her normal stance of having some form of commitment first. She woke up and saw him basking in the sun and tried not to be hurt he didn’t stay to cuddle.

#tavqotd Courage felt TERRIFIED when first she entered the shadow cursed lands. The whole place was a nightmare for Courage. If there had been any other choice, she would have taken it. She had her tail tucked the whole time.

#tavqotd The first time Courage ever adventures, she is 19. When the Nautiloid takes her, she’s 24 and turns 25 before defeating the Brain. She lives to be 113 years old and dies of old age surrounded by her loved ones.

WRITING ADVICE Write it bad! That’s the most important thing I’ve learned, & it is a skill I’ve had to develop. WRITE IT BAD! Do not edit as you go. Do not read over your work a thousand times before you do the next section. Write it bad and only edit when you finish. Perfectionism is the enemy.

#tavqotd If Courage were to answer this literally, the answer is no. She’s never had someone very close to her die. But she’s lost. She’s lost relationships, she’s had fallings out, and she’s lost her brother Acheron when he stayed with the cult. She channels her pain into music. It helps.

#tavqotd For Courage, success is measured in authenticity. Is she free to be who she wants to be? Did she do what felt right, even if it wasn’t popular? Was she able to create? Then she’s successful.

#tavqotd First of all, Courage really wishes Domino hadn’t asked. See, Courage has a motto of “I face my fears.” Dragons? Heights? Yeah, she’s not thrilled by either, but now she has to. She’s gonna take the reduce spell, and she’s probably gonna cry.

#tavqotd Mal finds Courage’s song lyrics, chord progressions, and even some sheet music. The lyrics of a few, he may be surprised to find, are often scathing or scandalous between songs that are more in line with what Courage sings in public. Not every song is for an audience.

#tavqotd I haven’t figured out Courage and Astarion’s wedding anniversary yet, but I know it’s a few years post brain. I try to make characters who are different from me, but I like to give them parts of myself. I’m also into the zodiac. Courage screamed Libra, so I gave her my birthday.

#tavqotd The crash out of the century. “W-why is it alw-ways the D-d-dead FUCKING Th-three!?” Then she’d do a double take and be like, “w-wait, G-G-GORTASH!?!?” She doesn’t know him well, but she’s met him at a few fancy parties she attended with her mom.

#tavqotd This one is tricky, because redemption, autonomy, and healing are all major themes of Courage’s story, so it’s hard to peg something that’d be “irredeemable.” I think for her, it would be betraying her ideals. Killing Astarion on bite might be one, because it would be giving it to her past

#tavqotd #AtroposOC Atropos Bonnemort, who I fondly call “Dourage” is Courage’s Durge AU self. I just started, so she’s only level 2 rogue at the moment, but she’ll be a rogue/fighter multiclass.

#tavqotd Quote this with an out of context image that represents your OC, and a picture of your OC. Courage Bonnemort.

#tavqotd Courage doesn’t panic. She sits on the ground and tells everyone to get cozy and huddle close. She plays her music for ten minutes to ritual cast Tiny Hut, a protective dome that will keep them safe and cozy. It’s looks like a deep blue night sky.

#tavqotd The Emperor chose Syndra, Courage’s adoptive mother, as his disguise because Syndra is the person Courage trusts most in the world. It actually backfired because she knew Syndra was safe at home in the city. She actually started trusting him more when she saw his true form.

The amazing @ezuneo.bsky.social has done it again! Behold, their amazing work on #Veldren 's scars!

#tavqotd I’m gonna keep it vague, cause I will eventually get to this scene in my fic (shameless plug for Little Faun, Little Star), but Astarion gets to briefly meet Courage’s deity, who gives gime some wisdom in the form of a song, once Courage later echoes: open.spotify.com/track/2IRjyy...

It’s about time I celebrate the big 700 with another art raffle! There are only 3 rules to enter and the 3rd is honestly kinda optional! Please don’t be shy to participate🫶🏻 There will be 2 winners! Raffle ends February 1st! #artraffle #raffle #artgiveaway #fanart #700followers #artist

I was very much expecting to answer maybe 10 of these. I genuinely can’t believe so many people liked it. Thank you so much! And an even bigger thanks to y’all that took the time to read it! I’m so, so grateful that you take a interest in Courage or anything I have to say. Love y’all! 💕

#tavqotd Saw @shandoraexplorer.bsky.social do this one and thought I’d add it! 1 like = 1 answer, #NSFW addition!

#tavqotd Courage is most welcome amongst family, friends, & any audience excited for a good time. She’s not welcome amongst the Charon where her songs would be considered blasphemy. Her songs more upbeat for commoners, where as she performs opera or piano for the wealthy usually.

#tavqotd I think Courage would ask Orya to write a song about the importance of taking them leap, even when you’re scared. She’s learned that the risks she was most scared to take often lead to the greatest rewards.

#tavqotd Thank you once again @kieranravenplume.bsky.social for the beautiful pic.

The smoochers...... #Solaufein #Vril'eth #houndVP #bg3tav #githyanki a thread? more pics in the replies

#AtroposOC #Dourage CW: gore, SPOILERS I… I killed Gale???????? Also, she looks so… 😬
