The Baldur's Gate 3 fandom's treatment of Wyll is fascinating in how much people want to invent reasons out of the ether to ignore, dismiss, and demonize him.

They say that he's boring and has no real interesting story, and I have to point out that 1. that's wrong, just inherently so, and 2. okay, so why is it not suspicious to you that the one Black companion in the game is painfully underwritten? Also, Wyll not having as much of a storyline as the rest of the companions isn't an excuse when I've seen white fandom make mountains out of lesser molehills! I've seen, time and time again, white fandom create whole rich worlds and stories for background characters with one line, or side characters with even less to work with than Wyll! They can invent story threads and motivations for a pocket of lint, but not this one Black character?

When they say that his whole hero thing and general kind and romantic nature makes him less interesting or annoying, I can't help but think that that would not be a problem if he were white, or if his personality and questline were transferred to a white character. For God's sake, there's a mod that takes Wyll's dance scene and replaces him with Astarion (which is an issue in and of itself but that's another post for another time)! That's all I need to know about where people's heads are at!

I've even seen people writing angry screeds demonizing Wyll for making the deal with Mizora. I'm sorry, was 17 year old Wyll just supposed to sit back and watch everyone die? Would a white hero faced with this kind of dilemma be received so poorly by fandom? I think not!

It all comes back around to antiblackness, and I always feel like I'm the crazy one for noticing it!

The problem here is that people love heroism, but only when it's a white character. When heroism wears the face of a Black person, then suddenly it's cheesy and boring and evil and all the bad things in the world.

Think about that.

wishlist my game. no it's not out. no there isn't a demo. no it's not being developed. no it doesn't exist. just write it on your list of things you wish for. it helps my metrics.

There is one particular ship dynamic that never fails to wreck me, and I’ll call it Soulmates, But Not Like That. Not in a “some higher power has decided that we are destined to be together” way, but something that is almost the opposite of that. It’s that character who has been alone for a long time, and has maybe convinced themselves that they will be alone forever, and who has a lot of barriers to intimacy with most of the people around them, for whatever the relevant narrative reasons are. And then they just happen to cross paths with this ONE FUCKING PERSON who works for them, through some very specific combination of personality and circumstance and life experience and mutually compatible damage. And there is always the shock of what are the fucking odds, and underneath everything the terror of what if this doesn’t last. what if there’s no one else. I would just go back to being alone. I don’t know if I could do that after knowing this. Because when you finally let down that wall of emotional self-sufficiency the thought of having to put it back up again is painful. And in real life I don’t at all believe that there is only One Designated Person for anyone, but in fiction I do tend to gravitate toward characters who believe themselves to be The Only One in some way, and I will always be emotionally compromised by that dawning sense of oh. You are like me.

hey girl i saw you from across the bar and i really dig your tall dark and morally bankrupt murderer for hire vibes. can i get your kill count.

[eduardosaverin7-archive]

Not soulmates but it always had to be them and they weren't destined to be together but they were doomed to be but also it took everything for them to get here and also it was never supposed to happen but also it always was and had to happen this way. Hope this helps

#‘that goose keeps laying golden eggs. that’s stagnation. I’m going to kill it and go look for a goose that lays diamond eggs’#‘that goose normally lays golden eggs but this time it laid a silver egg. I’m going to kill it because even though I can still make good#money with that it’s not as good as a golden egg’#‘that golden egg laying goose only lays an egg once a day instead of constantly shitting them out. I don’t care that golden eggs take time#if they’re not constant the goose is worthless to me’
