#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… 😬

#CourageOC #AtroposOC Introducing “Dourage.” CW: abuse In this Dark Urge AU, Courage’s cult allied with the Bhaalist. Her mother was the vessel for Bhaal’s creation. They beat the sweet Courage she could have been out of her and cut out her tongue so she could never sing. She’s a rogue assassin

#tavqotd The only part of Courage’s skin that’s not soft is the skin on her hands. As a musician, she carries all kinds of callouses. Her nails are usually done, though. Her hands themselves have long fingers and smaller palms. They’re delicate looking when at rest.

#tavqotd 1/3 We’ll say the date in question is Galvir, Courage’s cheating ex. This one depends on which of her besties she’s talking to. She doesn’t believe it when Grove says they’ve got a partner. Grove hates romance and thinks it’s stupid, so Courage assumes it’s a cruel joke.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

#tavqotd Courage realized she had a crush on Astarion when he fed on her. It was complicated. She hated the feeling, but that night she saw some similarities between them for the first time. Love though? That she realized during a girl’s night convo. It was an “oh shit” kind of moment.

#tavqotd I don’t have many BG3 OCs, but I have DnD characters. I try to vary their race, but I admit tielfings are my favorite, even though Courage is my only one 1. Dart, wood elf 2. Windfall Kelley, sea elf 3. Tamsyn Baelfire, human 4. Courage Bonnemort, tiefling 5. Tuftwallow Bugleweed, goblin

#tavqotd I’m following @kieranravenplume.bsky.social’s lead and throwing this out there. 1 like = 1 answer 💕

#tavqotd Courage is normally quick to walk away from the blood & let a better healer take care of it, but when Astarion’s down, she rushes to his side. It triggers her vasovagal, but she’ll force herself to stay conscious long enough to make sure he’s ok before passing out. She’s very clingy after

#tavqotd When Courage was 19, she went on an adventure in Chult with Grove Oakton. Today, Grove is Courage’s best friend, but, at the time, they hated each other. In a moment of rage, Courage tried to slap them, but missed, tripped, & hit herself in the face. Grove never lets her live it down.

#tavqotd Courage is Pan! For a while I thought she was bi, but I realized that the qualities she likes in her partners are completely disconnected from their gender. She has mainly dates men, but that’s more because that’s who has pursued her the most. But she’s equally attracted to all genders.

#tavqotd Courage’s tail in canon is very long and pretty thicc with a tiny little devil’s tip. Its also VERY emotive. Is she’s scared, she tucks it between her legs and wraps it around her right ankle. If she’s excited, it swishes. If she’s angry, it flicks. She’ll also hold onto lovers with it.

#tavqotd The amazing @mouch30.bsky.social has done it again and brought #LoreTheBard 's tattoos to life! Behold!

#tavqotd #nsfw Courage is fairly secure in her relationships. Her biggest insecurity isn’t about being worthy, but about toeing the line between her needs and Astarion’s needs. She struggles with initiating sometimes because she fears pressuring him, but he wants her to. The equality, the back…

#tavqotd Courage is Orchid 1. She’s pink, but it’s a slightly cool toned pink as opposed to a rosier color.

#tavqotd Modern Courage is a pop star, and Astarion is her manager. Courage is super polyjamborous and listens to everything. She’s dragging Astarion to a techno rave one weekend, a folk/indie romp in a field the next, and straight into a mosh pit at a metal show after that.

#tavqotd First of all, this is Courage’s worst nightmare. On one hand, vampire seems the obvious choice. She lives with vampires, after all. They could show her the ropes and she wouldn’t have to hurt anyone. But blood! So that’s a no. Demon sounds like possession, so fuck that. That leaves…

#tavqotd #NSFW Oops. Courage and Astarion skipped straight to the sex part and looped back to dating after a solid month of sleeping together. And even then, they didn’t really date so much as live together. Their first proper date didn’t happen until after the brain fell.

#tavqotd Courage would have conflicted feelings about the Darkcloaks. Fundamentally, she’d have to be cool with them. She believes in personal autonomy. If there is willing consent, who is she to say it’s wrong? They would trigger her, though. Remind her of the cult she grew up in

#tavqotd So, I don’t think there’s an actual answer for Courage. I think she only ever really had eyes for Astarion. However, for fun and because I haven’t heard anyone mention him, I’m throwing Zanner Toobin out there. Smart, courageous, and with one of my favorite in game voices.

#Yarrow means so much to me, you have no idea. They were originally made to just be someone in Dren's backstory, and now they have grown so so much. They get to be alive in an AU with @varisia.bsky.social and man, they are thriving. And Alive! #houndVP

#tavqotd Yes. Courage convinced Wyll to break his contract, but she felt horrible about it. She wasn’t sure if they’d be able to save Duke Ravenguard. Luckily, a little more investigation would reveal he was still alive, and they were able to rescue him.

#tavqotd Courage would answer this by saying she’s Baldurian, even though it’s not true. She was born in a small commune/town called Ferryman’s Rest, the headquarters of the Charon, a bloodhunter cult. They were originally from Neverwinter, but were driven from town. This pattern…

#tavqotd Courage is scared of the dark but loves the night. She’s a huge fan of stars and pretty lights, so you’ll definitely find her using prestidigitation or some comparable magic to make it bright. Photo by @lycanicorn.bsky.social

#tavqotd I mean, if you insist! Courage Bonnemort, Glamour Bard.

#tavqotd Courage and Astarion are the tried and true combo of Bard and Rogue. She’s the distraction while he does the mischief. Courage teaches Astarion to play piano and sing, though he doesn’t like to perform for others. Astarion teaches Courage to pick locks and use a little thieves cant.

#tavqotd In canon, Astarion mainly calls her “pet,” “darling,” and “my love.” She calls him “my heart,” in infernal. She had an ex call her Coco. Her family just calls her Courage. Pan calls her Little Faun. In AUs, Kieran calls her “songbird” & “Bonbon,” & Dren calls her “Lamb”.

#tavqotd 🧵1/2 Complicated. The truth is Courage doesn’t really get money. She understands it, but she thinks it’s dumb. Firstly, she grew up in a cult. The money and goods the cult had went to the good of the cult and the good of the elder, who lived with most opulence than anyone else.

#tavqotd If Courage was human, she would look like the picture below. She’d wear lots of fun colors, mainly pink, blue, and purple, and would be in a band.

#tavqotd Honestly, I have no idea. The correct answer is probably an elf or human, but I had way too much fun trying to figure it out, so instead I present to you: Courage as DnD races

CW: needles Courage has magic tattoos that allow her to enter a “ghostly form.” The attunement turned the needle into the ink. She received them as a gift from a Naga in Chult. Shout out to @lycanicorn.bsky.social for designing her tats & @mouch30.bsky.social for modding them for the game!

#tavqotd #NSFW This is more a big deal for me as her writer, but I wasn’t sure if Courage’s sexuality. I know she wasn’t straight, but I hadn’t fleshed her out enough before BG3 to know. I sorta assumed she’d be bi because I’m bi, but she surprised me when I realized she was pan.

Flu round 3!

#tavqotd Anxious girl with fear of blood falls in love with a vampire and brings him home to mom. 🩷🩸

#tavqotd A quote from Courage’s perspective, and a quote from Astarion’s.

#tavqotd Courage had a run in with a dragon in Chult that almost went very poorly, so she’s terrified of them. Shes less scared by the end of BG3 than she was immediately after Chult. Meeting some nice dragons, such as Qudenos, helped ease that fear a ton.

#tavqotd #nsfw Courage doesn’t have either, but @lycanicorn.bsky.social’s Dren, her AU partner, does. Courage learns to listen extra carefully to his needs in order to get him there, and sometimes he’s ready to be done. It’s important to her to make him feel loved and cared for in every encounter.
