I can't believe I've never showed off my wonderful Inquisitor, Oromis Lavellan. Living rent free in my head since 2014, here is the boy !
Playful and charming, his flirting is as sharp as his arrows. Beware of his frivolous manners, he's more likely to order an assassination than extending a helpful hand with no strings attached.
Bonus outfits : Haven winter coat, dalish summer, Orlesian party
They're both highly ridiculous people but somehow it's working to their advantage
As most people I have become obsessed with Baldur's Gate, so I present you lady Faelyn Luckystar, Hero of Baldur's gate, Bullshitter in Chief, Vampire Fucker, and half drow bard

In honor of the anniversary of the most unhinged shadowgast era, I present you the Timeloop-babygast-execution Au, where two mad lads run away from home (secret military underground bunker) and try their hands at murdering criminals (Caleb, their own father) and piss off a powerful dunamancer (Essek, their other father) enought to set up a timeloop none of them can escape (until they sit down and talk about their feelings/misunderstandings).
Many thanks to the amazing @flappingduster for joining in this madness, and lending her babygast
Something something Essek being his own martyr in his own homemade hell, something something Lux embrassing him through pain in all universes no matter if he wants it or not
Something something fantasy catholic guilt
I’ve been suddenly hit with inspiration so here’s an Essek Thelyss Pieta
So I’ve just seen Goncharov
And it was amazing, a true masterpiece. I’ve been looking at all the lovely meta people have posted on tumblr, and while some people have noted the fish metaphors, I’ve yet to find any detailed explanations for these.
Here I come, folks.
Across the movie we can select 3 important moments where fishes have a specific meaning, and all of them are associated with Katya :
the anchovies scene
that moment when Katya feed the goldfishes in Goncharov’s study
the scene when Goncharov is looking for his watch in the study, and where the fishbowl is pushed around
But what do they mean ?? Well, let me reframe the question : what kind of fishes are we really looking at ?
In the anchovies’ case, it’s all about food, how you consume it, and with whom. Anchovies were at first, like many overhyped delicacies, poor people’s food. Too small to be of use for noble families, and filled up with tiny bones (truly a pain in the ass to remove) : only the common people used to catch and eat them (mostly fermented, to add some proteins to simple meals).
Now, what does it tell us about our main characters ? Well, in that scene, Gonchariv and Katya (as mentioned by him) are pro anchovies. They are, like these small fishes, low born people full of sharp edges, and now seen as symbols of a new luxurious life-style.
In the fishbowl’s case, you’ll surely tell me “you dumbass it’s the goldfish scene, she’s feeding goldfishes ! Who cares ?” well my friend, it is you who’s a dumb of ass. If you had looked at them closely, you would have realized 2 things :
1. there are indeed two goldfishes in the first scene ;
2. the fishes in the second one have actually been replaced by Siamese fighting fish ;
For those who don’t know much about fishes, let me tell you a couple of things : goldfishes are not supposed to be kept in a small bowl, it’s very detrimental for their health to be kept in such a dire environment ! Wild goldfishes are actually quite big and have a lifespan averaging about 10-15 years !! Some can reach 30 years !!
What does it tell us about Katya ? Simple : like the fish, she’s kept in a toxic environment designed to utterly destroy her, and where she’s expected to be a pretty commodity to look at.
“Wait ! What about the fighting fish ?” you’ll undoubtedly recall. Indeed my friend, indeed…these fishes are very well named, since it’s quite common to witness siamese fish fighting each other. Actually, if you ever want to keep a couple of these beauties at home, it’s advised to keep them in separate tanks, to avoid any fights.
What’s told to us here, with this simple fish swapping, is that Katya went from being a cute dying goldfish, kept small by the world around her, to a feisty and dangerous warrior, ready to take down her own mate to control the pond.
@anne-o-nyme reawakened my babygast feelings and I couldn’t resist the quick sketch of our two shadowgast kiddos🥺
Come and see the most adorable half drow babies cuddling from the amazing @flappingduster !!
The cuteness is killing me TT u TT
300 years in the future and Essek has met and decided to watch over a group of young adventurers. Said group is hired to takedown a cult of ritualistic cannibals.
Young Adventurer 1: "Okay, everyone knows the plan right? Eating people is so messed up we have to stop these monsters as soon as possible."
Essek: "Agreed, and they are so uncouth in their methods. To eat right off the bone, have they no manners?"
Young Adventurer 2: "Manners? I don't think that's the issue to be focusing on."
Young Adventurer 1: "...Wait...Have...Have you eaten someone before?"
Essek: "My goodness NO! I have not EATEN anyone... I may have-ᵈʳᵃⁿᵏ ᵃ ᶠᵉʷ."
Young Adventurer 3: "DRANK??! ARE YOU VAMPIRE?!!?"
Essek: "NO! It wasnt like that, one of my family would make this tea that- LOOK it was this whole thing with tea and naked hot tubs and weasels-"
Young Adventurer 2: "Is this a setup?? Are you PART of this cult we're about to walk in on??"
Essek: "NO-!
Young Adventurer 1: "Are you sure because what you just described sounds like weird cult ritual shit."
Essek: *holds up a blue pouch with an embrodered dick and cupcake on it*
"Well if you are going to be RUDE then you will not be allowed to drink my sister tonight!"
Young Adventurer 3: "Dude WHAT?!"
yes. YES.
Essek has a 400′s life crisis and goes back on the road with a party of young adventurers. He, of course, brings Caleb with him.
all credits for this amazing idea goes back to the great @flappingduster-scribbles
So many discussions about old man Caleb ! I had to turn it into this WWDITS meme.
@flappingduster-scribbles ‘s shadowgast baby is in here, as well as mine.
Just finished ep 3 of Exandria Unlimited : Calamity. I have Many Feelings, so I drew this last night. Sorry for the poor quality.
Essek is the Luxon’s champion AU is from the amazing @foxqueen-katarian !
This is definitely how CR season 3 will ends. I’m calling it.

“Oh hi Schatz ! You’re back early !”
“The moon is haunted.”
“What ?”
“The moon is haunted, Caleb.”

To all the people who asked what was written on Caleb’s book :
“Kryn courting : so you’ve decided to date a drow, what to expect in a relationship”
Shadowgast baby headcanons
To anyone who might be concerned, his name is Archibald Widogast. Professor Widogast’s only son, that he’s raising on his own, with the occasional help of his adventurer friends and a revolving door of nannies (it’s Essek. Of course it’s Essek).
Essek was relieved when he saw how human his son looked. He would have loved him no matter what of course, but being too obviously half-drow would have put a target on his back for the rest of his life. Currently, Archi looks half elven, with his white hair and pointy ears.
As a toddler, Archibald had troubles recognising Essek, since the man was oftenly switching disguises. It led to an equally terrifying and comic event when one day he left kindergarten with the wrong pink skinned tiefling. Essek panicked when he realized his little Starlight wasn’t there and called the entire Mighty Nein Team to retrieve his baby. The pink tiefling, after realizing he wasn’t the kid she was supposed to babysit, bought him ice cream and walked him back to the kindergarden, deeply embarrassed.
Essek was hurt by the fact that at 3 years old his own son was unable to distinguish him from a stranger. Since then he started wearing a distinctive sign with each of his disguises, so that no more mistakes could happen.
Little Archi has very light and sensitive skin, which means long exposure under direct sun will give him bad sunburns and nausea. His eyes are also sensitive : while he has a pretty decent dark vision, high luminosity is uncomfortable for him. His aunty Veth gifted him a pair of special glasses to handle the sun, especially in summer.
Archibald is quite shy, and since he doesn't like to play outside, he has trouble making friends with other children.
He’s a very smart boy, Caleb used to take him to work when he was a baby, and he has sat through most of his courses since then. At ten, some of Caleb’s students used to sneak him sweets in exchange for a little help on their papers.
He’s also very quiet, loves to read, and is often found napping on a library bench, surrounded by books of various subjects.
If at first Essek wanted to only talk in common and zemnian around Archi, fearing that speaking undercommon would mark him as suspicious, he gradually regretted not teaching him more of his mother tongue when he was a baby. Once Archibald got old enough, Essek started introducing undercommon at home. As an adult, Archibald speaks both zemnian and undercommon, but with a thick accent in the later.
Astrid and Eadwulf know about little Archi, they even met him a couple of times, usually when Caleb took him to his lectures. Once Eawulf gave him a candy, which put every adult in the room on high alert : nothing happened, it was just regular candy.
Archibald knows he has an uncle called Verin living far away, from whom he receives toys from time to time. Usually picture books about astronomy, and cool rocks he lines up on his window frame.
but listen: shadowgast children, with a drow and a ginger for parents, that’s going to require levels of SPF magic the world has not seen before
The poor kid would suffer so much during summer vacations at auntie Jester and uncle Fjord’s house in Nicodranas-
Shadowgast Baby from @foxqueen-katarian ‘s au, go check it out !
Don’t think about Caleb lecturing a hall of students with a tiny baby strapped to his chest, occasionally pausing to adjust them to a more comfortable position.
Don’t think about all the speculation about which of his revolving door of lovers got knocked up (the prevailing theory is the purple Tiefling who disappeared after only a month; the slightly pointed ears, pale hair and lack of horns do nothing to deter this theory).
Don’t think about Caleb tucking his chin and whispering in Zemnian with a awestruck expression, before returning to the lesson at hand.
Don’t think about soft new parent Caleb.
Do think about a few years later Essek shuffling around the living room with a toddler standing on his feet, dancing.
Do think about the jumbled baby talk, a mishmash of Zemnian and Undercommon, that outside of Caleb and Essek only Beau can consistently understand.
Do think about Essek very patiently teaching a two year old how to garden, coming into the house a mess of dirt and grass stains but with bunches of flowers to share.
Do think about Essek as a Dad to a child who will never doubt that they are loved.
Of course Soltryce offers paternity leave, but consider, baby’s nap time coincides with his midday lecture and they sleep better while being held and are soothed listening to Caleb speak. Might as well get that lecture in.
Give me more Shadowgast Baby !
