yet another fandom side blog

vyv - he/him

[bastards-gate-3]

hi this is my bg3 side blog

main: @vyvisabastard

vyv/vyvyan or dirk 22 he/him only general mature content warning, dont be weird, dont follow if youre under 18

my ocs:

green: already existing oc/recycled oc blue: variation/au

-> shor(tie) (main, seldarine drow ranger/warlock/fighter) -> osfyr (half-drow divination wizard) -> josh (tactician durge, zariel tiefling paladin) -> sharree (lolth-sworn ranger/fighter) (shortie au) -> julep (drow druid) -> elle (high elf cleric of selune) -> drisala (drow cleric of lathander)

ive got other bg3 ocs but these guys are the most developed. ill probably adapt a few for tabletop since their stories are very limited in the options bg3 has so they cant really act out in ways that they would naturally do so.

i am disabled so activity on this blog might vary from time to time, i dont have energy to draw all the time. maybe i'll write some fanfiction idk

fun fact: i got to 1000 hours in bg3 before the end of 2023. i bought the game in september

idk i think what is interesting about astarion to me is the fact that you have a guy who started out an asshole (normal type) and then spent two hundred years in a very carefully and specifically crafted (by the writers of the game) Become A Terrible Person Or Die nexus. like it wasn’t just a Torment Nexus, he wasn’t just in hell, i feel like this is very important not to forget, he was in hell but it was specifically a hell designed to, over time, kill the empathy of anyone trapped in it, kill their brain’s ability to prioritize other peoples’ survival, to numb one’s conscience.

and then he gets yanked directly out of that nexus and despite that the fact that he spent, again, two hundred years in a situation that was sort of a rock tumbler for the human soul, there’s still a pebble left in there. and it’s a pebble that can be grown if placed in the right environment and provided with a support network.

so i think it becomes interesting because it really does i think force you to start thinking about the limits of free will even on as basic a level as the human personality. i think the fact that he becomes such a different character based on player choice, that his end morality is so hugely dependent on player choice, is uhhh. a big part of what the devs were going for probably.

it makes a lot of people really uncomfortable to acknowledge some bad people would be good people if literally nothing changed except they had a good support network and different circumstances. especially because it means the opposite is also true. which is even more uncomfortable.

you know that part in the beginning of fellowship of the ring where gandalf is talking about how gollum is ultimately only like that because of the ring and gandalf thinks his story is sad? astarion is kinda like if they sexualized gollum.

Another part of my Astarion/Wyll comic. For part I check out the tag #Astarion and his angsty vulnerable internal monologues

[wyllstarion]

“oh i like wyllstarion because they’re narrative foils” “oh i like wyllstarion because they have horrible crushes on each other and it’s so romantic and sweet” “oh i like wyllstarion when they’re divorced”. WRONG. I like wyllstarion because of how much it makes ulder ravengard’s life absolute hell. any iteration is funny but duke wyll trophy wife spawn astarion wyllstarion maybe the funniest. you abandon your son to the wild and the grips of a devil at age 17 and he comes back hero of baldur's gate and you already have to grapple with how the hell you apologize for something like that when the meanest most terrible invested in chaos and ruin VAMPIRE SPAWN in all of baldur's gate has made a home not just in your son's heart but also in YOUR home. AND THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED. AND HE HATES YOU. i'd kill myself
