(I need more Ambrus)

[redroomroaving]

The people crave Ambrus please

[joyflameball]

Mischaracterization getting so brutal I'm about to ask people for sources and citations on their wrong opinions

[joyflameball]

What is your source for the idea that he would fucking say that

[almiarangers]

As much as I love ‘I would kill for you’, it kinda really loses its impact if the person saying it is a villain who already kills at the slightest provocation

’I would refrain from killing for you, I would spare them all if you asked me’ is a very sexy alternative, and a much more powerful declaration of love coming from a character prone to violence

[midandevil]

Oh, Ambrus… I’m very much looking forward to our enemies to lovers arc. 🖤

OC Bio Tag Game~

To save this from taking up your whole dash, the bio is below the cut!

There will be more about Tav in the upcoming Winter edition of the BG3 Yearbook project so look out for when that's ready!

-> BASICS

Name: Tav Rugala (Tav the Tav)

Class/Subclass: Rogue, Assassin

Background: Urchin

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Very Yes please Call her Bisexual Pronouns: She/her

-> Other

Family: Deceased. Mother died of an illness and was buried in the Lower City Graveyard. Father's precise fate unknown.

Birthplace: Baldur's Gate Lower City (A shack near the docks)

Job: Professional thief. Not guild affiliated, but utilises the guild's fences as required. Before the Tadpole Incident, Tav was just living one day to the next, surviving.

Phobias/Fears: There are streets she won't walk down in the city, even if it means taking a very long route. She's also not fond of the dark, of things that move in shadows where she can't see with Darkvision.

Hobbies: [Explicit Deleted] - no, really, Tav's mostly just hedonist. When she's not scraping by to survive, she's making sure she is enjoying living. With the arrangement she has with her partners, she enjoys exploring kink and encounters which she writes about in the diary that Astarion gave to her. The only downside is the look she gets, sometimes from both the vampire and their druid lover, when they realise exactly what/who it is she has been up to this time.

-> Morals

Alignment: Somewhere around True Neutral with some good leaning. Her own interests come first, but she would rather do the right thing when she can.

Flaws: A good deal more hubris than she should have at times, a little bit of selfishness (which she argues is just practical - can't help anyone else if you're dead anyway so...), kleptomania (if it's not nailed down clearly it wasn't that important to the owner, if it was nailed down they woohoo free nails!)

Virtues: She has some. Somewhere. Well...no, ok, Tav isn't a bad person. She does care, and she will do what's right when she can. If she cares about someone, when she's realised that they're not just going to die or leave, she will fight for them.

❤️ Meet @redroomroaving❤️

"I'm a rare pair and minor NPC dealer, doodler and writer. There's no tiny BG3 character I don't want to see more of."

[redroomroaving]

It's meeeee!! Hello 🥰

[lemonsrosesandlavender]

Look, I know I’m being a tedious feminist killjoy here and whatever, you’re allowed to have your fantasies - but I cannot fucking IMAGINE playing BG3, where you are Tav, a powerful and competent leader and hero, and then collectively producing as a fandom such a vast pile of “you are a maid/assistant/apprentice to this male character who is far more competent than you!” art and posts and stories.

People often say that fanfic is more progressive than the source material and that’s why fans love it, but that is just so patently often not the case. And yeah, some of it is kink, blah blah blah. But it doesn’t stop it being tedious to see a world full of powerful women and gender parity being reduced back down to “one strong smart man and you the useless uwu babygirl”. I don’t think people even realise they’re doing it, but that’s exactly it - the internalised sexism blinders are on, and they literally cannot perceive of a world in which they are a smart, competent man’s equal (before we even touch on the possibility of being their superior…). And obviously, the kinks we have are shaped by the society we grew up in. It’s just exhausting to see such a deluge of art in response to a game with strong female characters that then takes that set up and puts women back in their place: subordinate to a man.

[bbg100]

You don't like my domestic au? But I lobotomized the characters just for you :( isn't it so nice now that everyone's happy? They all talk and forgive each other 😊 they're getting married, you know. They're pregnant, you know. Time skip soon! Two beautiful kids. After they have them they will put aside all their passions. Maybe they will never go back to the coffee shop 🤭or university 😜. Maybe they will stay at home with their children. I made this world just for you. Isn't it domestic? Isn't it perfect? Look at how everyone smiles! I am smiling :) are you?

[probuccalfat]

there’s a phenomenon when it comes to enjoying a male character in a piece of media where it’s so much fun and i love my blorbo and i want to talk about my blorbo and read analysis of my blorbo but i realize very fast and very hard that the majority of fans made up a version of him that appeals to their horniness and it’s become the popular and standard interpretation and i do not care for that guy at all like i’d beat him with hammers actually

[probuccalfat]

[redroomroaving]

OH MY GOD THE REALEST TAKE

[midandevil]

(…If the devs won’t make them kiss, then I’ll do it myself!)

[redroomroaving]

YESSSSSSSSSS

[sashayed]

eventually one has to come to terms with the fact that "conceive of myself as a person capable of tackling difficult things" is an achievable goal toward which one can take concrete steps whereas "have things be easy" is Not

[redroomroaving]

love it when people quote your ship content and the tags are like 'this isn't a ship they're besties'

(but at least it's better than omg I love your ship can you add my preferred character to it, or I love your ship but I swapped one half for someone I like more)
