I just want my OTP to derrive meaning from each other in a way that would be incredibly unhealthy and codependent if two people did that in real life but is profoundly poetic and romantic within the context of a fictional piece of media in consuming.
Some very old screenshots of Efenity and AA that I never posted here 😭 At least, I don't think so lol
I took most of these with the Otis free cam and pose/emote mod during the pre-photomode days, so there was a lot of background glitching going on which is partly why I didn't post a good number of them.
I kinda wanna do a new set with the same poses/vibes but with photomode and the pose mods I've found 👀
These posts are sisters
I just heard Project Hail Mary's genre coined as "Cosmic Hope" instead of cosmic horror, and I'm getting emotional all over again. I need to sit down. God do I love this story to bits.
A beautiful commission of Araduna and Vilkas I got from Weeblzmonkey/Karma Lewis recently! I am obsessed with it 😭😭😭😭 it's giving "paused between battles while adventuring to tease and steal a kiss" and I'm so beyond here for it 😭😭😭💜
Sooo I did try my best with the Gate to Sovngarde modpack but it was just way too difficult. So I uninstalled it, went through the mods from that list and cherry picked out all the ones I wanted and started a new game!
Trying to keep Araduna's storyline more or less in-tact. She does follow some very specific order of some things but there's also a lot of room for randomness. Unlike BG3, of course, Skyrim has less narrative structure, so I have to fill in more blanks and keep track of her story timeline on my own.
She's halfway through the main quest (just got the Elder Scroll), has grown close to Lydia and gifted her the farm (Goldenhills Plantation) and realized she had fallen in love with Vilkas. They got married, but I thought it was funny that Farkas didn't show up at all 🤣 but he had just asked to be purified of beast blood, so many he was just recovering still.
I also found a really nice hairstyle for Araduna that I really like on her. I'm thinking of cosplaying as her again (for a third time) for my local Renaissance Faire this year and it's about time I got an actually nice lace front for her hair. Lol
But the Ascendant IS written as a villain, as it's clearly pointed to by the authors. Like it's not even a discussion at this point in terms of canon. Every character has their "bad" and "good" endings, I don't think there's a way to avoid ascendant to be interpreted and portrayed that way
Yes. Ascended Astarion is a villain. That is why my Tav (and the Tavs/Durges of most other AA fans) romancing him is a POS and they do evil/morally questionable things together. That's the fun of it. Getting to be the baddies that get away with murder is a fun fantasy to explore and despite popular assumption, you don't have to "justify" it with any gotcha or moment of consequence for the characters because it's all in good fun and not real life.
That said, even (especially?) in a video game like this, "evil" ≠ "bad" and "morally kind" ≠ "good". At least, not inherently. You're looking at this game black and white without any form of nuance if you just see one "good" ending and one "bad" ending for him (or for any companion). There is a lot of bittersweet in the endings for each character. Some endings are more bitter than sweet, some are more sweet than bitter. But it all really depends and hinges on what your roleplay is in that playthrough. What feels like a sugary sweet good ending for one of your Tavs, might be a pure bitter nightmare for someone else's. 🤷🏾♀️
Edit to add::
I just realized this might be a response to my post about my fears toward the BG3 TV show and how, if Astarion appears they may portray him as a villain. If THAT'S what you're talking about, I'm sorry for the confusion. What I meant was, I'm afraid they will not treat him as a villain in a fun "let the baddies win" kind of way. I'm afraid they will treat him as an obstacle to be taken down and defeated by the main characters. To the point, us as the views are "supposed" to be against him too. That would be such a disservice to Astarion as a character overall. I just fear they will oversimplify him as "the villain". That is all lol
I have not seen the vanilla wolf armor in a long time

Perpetual WIP from 2022 of Vilkas and Araduna that I rediscovered in my files 🫣⚔️🔥
Maybe I'll actually do an updated version that actually gets finished... Maybe?
Idk but this was supposed to capture the moment they let their walls down for each other and gave in to their romantic desires, if only for a moment.
The longer I stare at it, the more I want to redo/finish it 😭😭😭
Like most, I'm not super excited about the new BG3 related TV show. I know we know next to nothing about it, but just the concept of having a TV show about it at all is not great.
While I love delving into more media about the origin characters, setting the TV show AFTER the game events is the worst idea IMHO. The game is so personal to each individual player and their characters, and the TV show will have to set a specific "canon" for itself.
I mean, that's conceptually not that big of an issue, if the fandom as a whole could see it as the game universe vs the cinematic universe (the way people look at Marvel and DC stuff) but knowing this fandom, I know that won't be the case.
I have to admit, a lot of my fear is grounded in what they'll do with Astarion, if he appears. If they choose to keep him a spawn I doubt it will be treated as a "it's just canon for the TV show" situation and I feel like people will use it to say "See! Spawn is his true self and true canon ending!"
But if they choose to have him Ascended in the show, I fear they will treat him as a villain and he will just be some obstacle or something for the heroes. Idk maybe I'm just being paranoid and making up problems in my head that wouldn't actually be an issue.
Maybe I'm just cynical lmao
Maybe the fandom is actually mature and respectful enough to keep game and TV show canon separate, no matter what they choose for the show.
Maybe the show will get cancelled and we won't have to worry about any of that 🫣
Very stupid that I can't take the muscles out of my neck & upper back & beat them with a meat tenderizer. I think that would fix me
Bath time! Pan and Gale taking some private time at the Elfsong to freshen up ✨
Lol these are from a week or two ago, I just forgot to post them. And the halo around Gale's head is just from the Bless buff but it stuck around in photo mode for whatever reason and I just went with it 🤷🏾♀️
Here's to the Tavs (and Durges) that almost were but just couldn't be lol
I added some details about each one in the alt image text.
These were all created over time but never posted about. Some of them just made it to the beach and that was it. I loved the design and concept of each one, but couldn't really find a spark enough to get emotionally invested in any of them.
There are others but I had no screenshots saved of them. I have this "tradition" where I try to take a screenshot during the first conversation with Lae'zel, but I don't always remember to do it or catch it in time. Some of them I might revisit, but probably not 🤷🏾♀️😅
i feel like we brushed over ascended astarion saying "i don't intend to die, if you don't" a bit too fast. he's basically saying that the only reason he'd ever want to die would be if his partner dies.
so like. that's cool. and like whatever. i'm really normal about that.
And yes ...I did start a new Efe playthrough lol I miss my evil muscle mommy, okay! 😭💪🏾
She's still in Act 1 because I got blindsided by the Pan x Gale feels am just taking my time 😌💜🤣
