❛ Does your Tav have any comments or advice when you recruit other companions? ❜

actual footage of tavara as the mc recruits ast.arion:

[littletavpole]

real time footage of tavara to the party in act 1 after like 3/4 long rests. she has just met these lunatics and she just- "you're my buddies now ily let's not die"

[littletavpole]

Where can your Tav be recruited?  Are they first encountered on the Nautiloid, or in the Nautiloid crash region?  Or are they not recruitable until a later act?

Tavara can be recruited on the Nautiloid. In my imagination, she is trying to get out of her broken pod and she does a cutesy little summersault out of it when you go to talk to her. If you do not go to talk to her, she can be recruited by the crash region on the beach near the Ancient locked door, she can be heard humming a song for Umb.erlee.

13 Going On 30 (2004) dir. Gary Winick

[iyamifucker]

“I can fix him” I couldn’t fix him and I don’t want to. I think he grew prone to biting and scratching in order to get by in a harsh world, and to me his resilience is part of what makes him so beautifully himself. I could be kind to him, though. I could show him gentleness. I could, slowly but surely, in the same way one earns the trust of a skittish stray cat, convince him that my touch will never come accompanied by pain. That, around me, he can allow himself to be soft. To relax. I could be the one he associates with warmth and safety, the one he longs to be held by after a hard day. I could be his home.

“the trauma made you kind” fuck that. no. i am kind because i cannot allow anyone to go through what i did. i am soft because i chose to be.

[peculiar-persephone]

Trauma made me scared, angry, and vulnerable.

I made myself kind.

[bunnivalentine]

Sometimes I’m a little too soft and too forgiving but its who I am as a person.
