TW for blood drinking , heavy violence , cult related trauma , body horror and general gore. kar'niss is generally not a pleasant character to interact with and i won't make him such based solely on your objections.

kar'niss' backstory as a member of house melarn and worshipper of shar is my own invention and is not common canon to the character ---- please be respectful of my creation and do not take parts of it for your own writing that doesn't involve me.

i love varys but kar'niss as master of whispers would be so very fitting ----

STARTER / INBOX CALL. it's missing kar'niss hours lets go lets go.

[cruelsting]

i think if i ever wrote kar'niss a got verse he'd definitely be a human but he'd probably be some weaselly advisor to a monarch with all of the ick of grima wormtongue and none of the ambition

[cruelsting]

ok well everyone praise / blame @serpentinemask for suggesting the most ridiculously on brand fc for my got / hotd verses ----

i'm convinced kar'niss uses the tadpole to look into the memories of those around him just so he can be cruel to the party when they inevitably cause him discomfort or insult him. apart from it being quite deeply sad that he seeks to forearm himself because he's so used to it , i imagine him pulling a deeply scathing read out of nowhere being pretty hilarious when it's entirely deserved.

an owl delivered @cruelsting;

❝ you brought this on yourself. ❞ @ gale blood and darkness prompts: accepting!

Oh, and wasn’t that just the motto for his longevity thus far, hm? 

In most cases – yes, Gale was notorious for bringing down upon himself some reign of awful terror, horror, destruction, mayhem. Hells, he was infamous with the notion, if the orb within his chest was anything to go off of. None of that was of any close indicator to how bright he could be, if he tried hard enough. The wizard was wise, intelligent; he’d read more books than he’d likely breathed any air in his lifetime, though none of that dissuaded the inevitable pull of chaos within the tides of his nature.

Like the sun would meet the moon, Gale would without fail manage to find himself in a predicament that was less than ideal. Opting to act as a guide for the drider through their initial parse of the city sounded optimal in his mind at the time; he would be the only one – in his opinion – to do it properly and well. 

Simply put, he didn’t trust the others with that responsibility, and he certainly didn’t trust the newest addition to their party, either. The little buzz of a voice from his bag almost sounded menacing– it should have, given who and what it was coming from, though he couldn’t contain the stifled chuckle that ceased as quickly as it began. It was just as ridiculous as the rest of their adventure had been thus far.

“We’re nearly there, a camp is our first priority. I do believe no voices from my bag would draw us less attention though, yes?” The hushed, condescending quirk to his tone was both playful and full of rhetoric– nearing the city only brought forth the wail of anticipation, and he’d been witness to watching it amplify with their latest recruit. A drider in Baldur’s Gate, what was one more thing?

[cruelsting]

𝐤𝐚𝐫'𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐲. even the sharrans in reithwin were a cult twisted into the shape of a town , and so a city of much freer thinkers each with their own agendas? yes , it's likely he'd cause a stir if left to his own devices. more than seven and a half feet tall at his usual stature , this is unfortunately necessary ----

but it doesn't meant the drider likes it. despite his efforts to help and such a seemingly simple solution , kar'niss has still not taken much priority amongst the other things in the wizard's book bag. his bristling distrust anyway at magic being done unto him , and now he's squashed in here with a singular heavy tome , blank scrolls of parchment , quills , a pot of ink , and a health potion.

so the drider has been cursing the owner of his inanimate travelling companions for the last half hour. some of it merely incoherent grumbling , yet other sentiments have been much more pointed. such mild protests of kar'niss eight legs kicking at his side as he tries to heave the weight of the overturned book off of himself , and he'd grown only all the more ireful. and to then be met with condescension?

' less attentions to a disgraced wizard that no one dare utter the name of as he lives in such shame , oh yes , yes ---- ' treasonous little whispers are nothing new to the former drow , they drip with sarcasm and he'll cast them upon anyone that he feels deserves it in the moment. eventually he manages to push the book over to lean against the other side of the book bag , and so it shifts again.

less ire , more curiosity as his now rather small face peeks out of the gap at the top of gale's bag. they'd discussed the village on the outskirts of the city , and perhaps this is it. he stares with contempt out into the sunlight and at the people here , all ... thriving. grass grows between cobblestones and ivy along the walls of houses. children drop coins into the well for wishes. all so far from the shadows.

so far from anything he's known for a very long time , really. the drider grows quiet again , observing cautiously with all seven of his eyes , blinking away from the warm , bright light of the world. fleeting , irritable thoughts that he can't wait for sundown follow. but he wonders what it must feel like , the warmth , even if the light is too harsh. he hasn't known it since he was last in waterdeep. before he was like this. @mossweaving

one thing i rly do love about gale'niss as a ship is the rest of the party finding out and immediately dragging gale for his 'you licked the spider' high horse as he plummets from it in real time

swen aggressively defending larian's use of generative ai for writing ideas and developing concept art and trying to normalise it - despite fan backlash and employees leaving the studio because of it - is one of the most creatively depressing things i've read in a while tbh. i really love this game and i can't describe how bitterly disappointed i am after they gave such big talk about valuing creatives and the industry.

pro-ai larian devs mocking the fan backlash on twitter and self-victimising while former employees say their work was made miserable by ai nahhhh this whole company can fuck off
