“I did what I had to… I swear, I did what I had to…”
A little painting of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3
while it lasts
people are so weird about lae’zel srsly. this woman is so Good i truly do not understand the majority of takes
like shadowheart mentions she’s half-elf once and lae’zel is like ok noted for the next time and doesnt get it wrong again
gale mentions how he’s impressed by her fighting and she immediately offers to teach him
she also answers any and all questions about the celestial realm and mindflayers that EVERYONE in the party asks her
she is the ONLY one with any experience and hands on knowledge about what the party is going thru but will still defer to the leader and help. for all she knows, they will literally be cured immediately if they find the creche but she still sticks around these fucking weirdoes because they ask her to
never speak bad about lae’zel in my presence EVER
Also:
On the nautiloid (which is about to crash and burn), she is extremely patient with us. We can poke around and decide we absolutely need to waste time on a prisoner in the pod, she will grumble, but wouldn't leave us. Oh, we are done? Finally. Can we go already?
Shadowheart starts arguing with her from the get-go. But what does Lae'zel do when she goes at her with "Who put you in charge?" rant? Rolls her eyes and curses under her breath even though her kin would have probably had a much more lethal response to such insolence. Any other githyanki wouldn't have settled for anything else than complete obedience - and if they have to slice someone up for a quick demonstration, so be it.
The fact that Shadowheart gets to talk shit unpunished is astounding. Lae'zel doesn't joke about githyanki doling out cruel punishments for disrespecting their superiors. However, she doesn't attack Shadowheart even when she accuses her of stealing the artifact of her people. She has every right to do so. But she doesn't.
All this time, she is freaking out under her stoic demeanor. She is infected. She is at risk of dying the least dignified death imaginable: becoming the very monster, she was trained to destroy. She is stuck in an alien world with a bunch of locals who keep trying to poke their eyes out or derail her journey. She has dreams where a mysterious figure tells her to consume more tadpoles. She is so alone in this mess and yet, she still does right by us as long as we do right by her. Even though the githyanki way would have approved of her killing us all and leaving with an artifact to the creche: what's more important than obeying Vlaakith, after all? And yet, she doesn't go there.
Of course, she will respect or disrespect us for certain behaviors. But she goes out of her way to collaborate with us from the very beginning, and it's incredible. Gaining her trust and respect feels very rewarding, being there as she discovers the truth and goes from worshipping Vlaakith to defying her is amazing.
Who's the goose that's on the loose 🪿🪿🪿
He's a vampire, of course I had to draw him...

IMPORTANT!!!
that is all
Halsin, The Shadow-Cursed
can’t get over how fucked the three city blocks of Baldur's Gate we explore is. vampire den, mummy lord, hag lair, no less than two cults, haunted mansion, a demon lord whoring it up, evil clowns. is the rest of the city normal. why do they have a Spirit Halloween district.
baldur's gate 3 is just. break the abuse and trauma cycle. being forced to believe a certain way is wrong. there is more outside of the small window that i perceived the world to be. i will create my own identity. maybe the people i thought loved me did not, in fact, have my best interests at heart. i need to find the clown's body parts so the drag queen can resurrect him. my destiny is not written in stone.
