A confession blog for fictionkin, fictives and introjects from the Baldur's Gate franchise! Be sure to read the about and rules before submitting!

[baldurs-kinfessions]

Welcome to Baldur's Kinfessions!

This blog exists for any and all Baldur's Gate fictionfolk, fictionkin and fictive alike, that would like to confess any and everything!

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR BALDUR’S GATE 3 AHEAD! Please proceed with caution as I will not be spoiler-tagging!

I'm Mod Dagger, it/ze, creator of this blog!

Here are the rules and guidelines:

Note: this was heavily referenced from fictionkinfessions's rules page.

This is a kinfessions blog first, foremost, and only.

Do not sign your anonymous confessions with blog URLs, don't leave social media links, don't ask for people to interact with your post, don't ask for advice mods are not equipped to answer, do not engage in system discourse through this blog's confession.

Do not send confessions about personal relationships with sourcemates that have recently ended.

Please keep personal relationships, issues, etc. personal. This is not the place to vent about your real life relationships.

Do not use special text characters or formatting.

The main mod of this blog often uses a screen reader. Many special characters are silent. Additional spaces between words will not let my screen reader work effectively. If I cannot read your confession, it will be deleted.

You are welcome to use a tag to keep track of your kinfessions!

Please make sure that you include the hashtag, otherwise I will not include it as a tag. You can also use different tags for different kintypes and fictives!

I will not keep track of tags already in use, so please check yourself if an emoji, set of emojis, word, or phrase are already being used or not.

If you wish to contact an anonymous person, please reblog or reply to their post.

Otherwise, please do not ask for that person to contact you through the inbox.

Keep your confessions 17+.

What this means is yes you can talk about NSFW situations, however this is not an after-dark blog. Do not be explicit or graphic. Whether your confession falls under this will be up to the discretion of the mods.

You are welcome to talk about triggering content, but please warn beforehand.

We will always tag as deemed necessary, but mod Dagger in particular is sensitive to sexual abuse and rape. Those confessions will still be posted! All we ask is that you warn at the beginning so we can prepare <3

Should more need to be added, this is where it will be!

I hate when shifts give me thoughts/feelings that reflect an ideology i do not have. It's confusing and embarrassing. Like sorry guys im being quiet because ive realized im [checks my notes] misandrist to male elves today.

Yeah it doesnt even apply to real life even a little. I just get, what, fantasy bigotry downloaded into my brain sometimes? Ok then.

Do you know what’s worse than being noncanon and remembering being with a canon character ? Being a canon character and remembering being with a noncanon one .

[baldurs-kinfessions]

I've started sometimes wondering if he even knew he had a kid. This isn't something I ever questioned Back Then, and I think I get why the others (especially Karlach, Lae'Zel, Wyll, and Shadowheart) didn't really suggest it- between them maybe not really realizing it themselves and probably presuming I had reasons for holding to the idea that he knew and left because of me, who would question it? But... My mother was manipulative and not above lying. What if he was a traveling bard, like I became, always intending to move on? What if she thought a child would "trap" him but he moved on before she could tell him? Maybe I shouldn't have had the attitude of "my father doesn't deserve to know he sired one of the people who defeated the Absolute". After all, the only thing I had to go by was the word of a liar.

If he didn't know but would've done something to protect me if he had known, I hope he's out there somewhere now with a kid who he can be proud of. If he did know or wouldn't have done anything anyway, I hope he's learned better. I don't know if I regret not trying to find him or if I'm glad I can now imagine a happy story of a silver dragonborn bard traveling with his kid who he rescued from his abusive, spiteful, manipulative ex (who was a black dragonborn, though I will say, she was not representative of all black dragonborn, plenty of them were lovely), whether he was like that or not. I never even knew his name, so maybe I'll see if there are any famous silver dragonborn bards who were active around the right time to imagine as the one who sired me. I doubt it, but hey. You never know until you look. Ugh, but then I'd have to do maths...

[baldurs-kinfessions]

I don’t know if you’re taking submissions right now but i’ve been doing a ton of research and work on past life things and um. I may have been The Bear. I don’t know what to do with this information because I have never really registered and of the things that were memories as memories of lives before this(up until now) but I knew my soul is really really really really really really old and in this life i’ve had animals trust me enough to freak people out since before I could fully walk. Among a lot of other things obviously but apparently my soul wants to “start new” for this life. I just wanted to say sorry for killing you Isobel and I miss you so much little boy with forest eyes💗

[baldurs-kinfessions]

I also play a male Drow and Minthara reminds me of a lot of men I dated who think it's not rape if you're married, etc. She would absolutely rape a male Tav and then expect them to be grateful for the privilege of bedding her.

[baldurs-kinfessions]

Second Minthara anon. Sorry for the phrasing but I am one also. I just worded it badly due to lack of sleep when I submitted it.

That’s alright! I was waiting for this clarification, I’ll still post your original confession.

[baldurs-kinfessions]

For the second anon also talking about Minthara: I’m hesitant to post your ask solely because it’s not phrased as a “kinfession,” i.e. you said you “play” as a male drow, but are you one as well?

The rest of the contents are fine and I can tag accordingly.

[baldurs-kinfessions]

Remembering being a male drow really makes me uncomfortable with the way some people treat Minthara. Like, I'm sorry, no, I do not want to know how to save someone who, if told my life story, would probably have ENDED ME FOR INSUBORDINATION because I literally ran away from a circle of drow women I very carefully pitted against each other to avoid being claimed by any one of them, then sent money back to help other drow like me, while knowing I was supposed to return at some point and having no intention to do so, not to mention hiding my Wild Magic. I'm glad I never spoke to her when I was actually living that situation. Maybe I should just avoid people talking about drow at all, given the way people apparently don't think actual systemic oppression of men (something that is categorically part of drow lore in this world and the drow society I was born into) is a bad thing because of stuff that has happened and is happening in this world (which, like, if the drow system were to be implemented in this world, it would not be a good thing either!) or because they actually cannot imagine it being that bad. But it was, and I honestly do not have the emotional bandwidth to express just how bad it was for me and others like me.

[baldurs-kinfessions]

I was listening to the Bard Dance holiday song today (yes, in March, it's a good song) and got a flash of a memory of me and Alfira performing it. Because I didn't drink much if any alcohol, she took the "pour me double I am up for trouble, let the spirits flow" bit, and because she had more faith in the gods than I did (being ignored will kind of do that to a kid) I took the "with the gods so cruel this could be our last chance" bits alone, just for fun because hey, us bards had to have some fun with our performances. I loved performing with her. She reminded me why I became a bard in the first place, the joy that I found in it. I needed that at the time. I hope she's out there finding her own joy in this world, too.

Only mildly related, I desperately want a lute to learn to play in this life and am very annoyed with this world's apparent love of the instrument but refusal to actually make them and learn to play them (yes I know some people do but it's not common nor easy to get into). Also with the whole "just put a lute in a guitar case" thing. I miss being in a world where my favorite instrument was actually appreciated and celebrated and easy to find and people didn't just stick them in guitar cases because acquiring a lute case is too hard. Grr. (imagine a very small black dragonborn bard with a scar on their neck growling in a pouty way here, just for reference lol)

Did you know that perpetually working overtime makes you very tired?

Sorry for that reblog haha, it was meant for The Other kinfession blog :p

[baldurs-kinfessions]

I was just at goth night at a club and there was someone there I had to do a double-take at bc (on first glance) their makeup looked EXACTLY like my shit in canon. And upon a clearer look, it was still pretty similar, honestly. Kinda a crazy headspace to be thrust into at a time like that

Current January Ask Game(s):

1.) (TT)RPG/Kintype Similarities - January 17th - January 31st

To those of us that play ttrpgs/rpgs, how similar is your BG3 kintype to something you would play or have played before? How does it compare and contrast with the sorts of characters you're drawn to playing?

I know I immediately think of all the tieflings I’ve designed for campaigns that never went anywhere HAHA. I’ve always loved tieflings, so maybe I was bound to be a tiefling. Class-wise, I’ve never been attached to just one, which might’ve really spoken for how content I was to do odd jobs in order to get by.

Ask game Rules & Tags below:

A new post will be created and pinned for every new ask game! Or, if it’s during the same month, it may be added to the original post and reblogged.

Each ask game will last between 1–3 weeks, depending on popularity and ongoing games.

Confessions that adhere to the game will be tagged #ask game.

Ask game replies might still be posted after the game is over – I (mod dagger) will come back to this in the future 😓

These are subject to change as needed or if I receive feedback.

As always, if you have ideas for more ask games, do feel free to suggest them!

[baldurs-kinfessions]

I havent really played a lot of rpgs but in games in general I do often steal or "borrow" things from people i shouldnt or find myself googling if i can kill a character and what i would get for doing that to figure out if that would be more worth it i love hiding and sneaking up on people too - an astarion

[baldurs-kinfessions]

oooooh the new game sounds fun! so we have two characters we use, one is a high elf glamour bard that we usually reserve for one-shots. she's based on our tav and vice-versa, and we've been developing both "iterations" of her in tandem. she's vaguely based on me/our pre-system realization "self," but we've taken some liberties with her.

the other character we play is a life domain cleric aasimar, a descendant of selune since we were having particular feelings about the moon and the divine feminine in relation to our magick and (collective) transmacness. we don't kin aylin or have a fictive of her (we don't know much about her since we're barely into act 1), but at least our dm and other players don't think that we ripped her off??? which is good.

our weekly d&d group that we play the cleric in knows we're really into bg3 (and playfully pokes fun at our astarion geeking out), but only one or two players know that we're a system, let alone having an astarion fictive. we're considering bringing it up to them this week, and we're all some flavor of neurodivergent, so hopefully, they take it well!

Ohhh ttrpg kintype similarities... I haven't played a fantasy ttrpg in a bit, mostly I dm, but when I do play d&d I lean towards support roles, bards and support-focused paladins, that sort of thing. I've never played a cleric specifically afaik, but it's the type of class I *would* play.

I do feel like Isobel is adjacent to the kind of character I might make -- if only because my characters and campaigns tend to involve a lot of death/undeath (enough that my players pick up on it as a recurring theme >_<) ... I even once played a paladin that had been 'dead' for a few centuries only to come back at the start of the campaign... ah dang.
