The BG3 Brainrot Is Strong @sophinatavrelin - Tumblr Blog

Y'all ever think about how Gale has daddy issues?

Y'all ever think about how Gale is very close to his mother?

Y'all ever think about how Gale deeply admires and respects his mother?

Y'all ever think about how Gale and Tara only talk about his mother, and not his father?

Y'all ever think about how the way Gale's father is seemingly, purposefully, never specifically mentioned implies that he walked out on Gale and Morena when Gale was young?

Y'all ever think about how Elminster was a young Gale's replacement father figure? (Gale was 8)

Y'all ever think about how Elminster, hopefully unintentionally, primed Gale for Mystra's grooming/abuse?

Y'all ever think about how Elminster used to be Mystra's lover?

Y'all ever think about how Gale was also Mystra's lover?

Y'all ever think about the fact that Gale knows Elminster used to be Mystra's lover?

Y'all ever think about how it was Elminster who told Gale that their ex-lover, and their literal goddess, wanted him to kill himself?

Y'all ever think about how the way Elminster told Gale their ex wanted him to kill himself was the Faerun equivalent of a video call?

Y'all ever think about how Elminster couldn't even be assed to deliver the "request" to Gale in person? (He used a simuclarion? Idk how to spell it, basically a shadow clone)

Y'all ever think about how Gale has never had a stable, healthy, normal, loving, relationship with a father figure?

Y'all ever think about how deeply and intensely Gale feels his emotions and feelings?

Y'all ever think about how Gale says he thinks he'd make a horrible father?

Y'all ever think about why Gale thinks that he wouldn't be a good father?

Y'all ever speculate on how Gale's reluctance to see himself in a paternal role might have something to do with everything mentioned above?

Because I do.

happy almost pride month, what a wonderful time to remember all the Baldur’s Gate 3 companions are pansexual and don’t prefer a single gender!

Idk who needs to hear this, but dye Astarion’s clothes with the Jet and Pink Rose dye

Just trust me

#he slays #especially on that one fancy outfit. I forget the name of it #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #bg3 astarion #astarion ancunin

Thinking about how when Gale is explaining to you his folly, and how he got the orb, he mentions how Mystra told him to be “Contented” with the limits she imposed, and how he never was content with her (because she never made him feel worthy or safe in the relationship), and then in the epilogue if you romance him, he tells you he feels content with you

And if you get the rare ending where you leave the crown in the Chionthar and he doesn't give it back to Mystra, he says that the orb is stabilised because he's no longer discontented

😭

That’s exactly what I did! I was mad at Mystra so I wanted to see what would happen if we just left it, and I was glad it turned out to be a happy ending either way

Think I might redo my first ever playthrough because I missed and messed up a lot in it. I wanna give my Tav Sophina a better chance

#like I don’t have Karlach because I accidentally killed all the druids because I didn’t know that killing Kahga would trigger that #and I completely missed the Ethel quest and meeting the Gur Hunter in the swamp #also Rolan is dead because I messed up his quest #it’s a mess

not enough people are into shadowheart/nocturne and it makes me feel insane. like what do you MEAN shadowheart used to beat up people who deadnamed nocturne. what do you MEAN shadowheart would frequently have her memories wiped, but nocturne could get her to remember nocturne in a matter of HOURS if not minutes, and would write on her diary about how happy it'd make her to see the expression on shadowheart's face when she remembered? what do you MEAN that if you give shadowheart the noblestalk, a mushroom so rare and potent there is only ONE of them in the entire game, she doesn't remember her parents or the day with the wolves or the mother superior's name but just nocturne? what do you MEAN nocturne was the one who did shadowheart's hair, and she kept at it until her arms were sore, and even without remembering that at all shadowheart still kept the same canonically hard to redo hairstyle? did shadowheart even like night orchids before their hideout, or did they become her favorite flowers because they were there? were they even actually her favorite flowers, or did she just mix up her attachment to nocturne with attachment to the flowers after forgetting her? hello? hello? can anybody hear me????

#this is so real #and the way Shadowheart tells us Nocturne feeds her info to keep her safe from other Sharrans in the epilogue???#the way she hopes Nocturne will finally turn away from Shar one day???#people definitely don’t talk about them enough whether it be platonic or romantic #I love them

Imma say it. I like both Astarion AND Wyll. I don't know why so many people make it seem like it has to be one or the other. I've seen so much hate from both sides! You don't have to put down one character to appreciate another. Better yet..like them both! Separate or as a couple...I sure do! Haha

#Astarion is a cat and Wyll is a golden retriever how can you hate these beautiful boys #yes I know Astarion is a downright bastard in the beginning but I love his character development and love him #and Wyll is just the sweetest baby boy from the beginning #get behind me lads

I just finished a run of BG3 for the first time and I’m so emo after the epilogue. It’s making me want to write tidbits about my Tav and Gale and the rest of the gang and post them here.

I love this weird ass found family so bad 😭

#my babygirls the loves of my life #I adore them and weird grandpa Withers #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #bg3 gale #gale x tav

as a card-carrying member of the "started playing for astarion, inadvertently fell for gale" club it's really important to me that you all know that the appeal is NOT that gale is suave or cool. in fact it is literally the opposite. the worse he is at flirting the better. as he grows increasingly verbose i grow increasingly horny. every time he makes an awful pun my heart flutters. he talks about his ex while we're actively on a date and i'm like wow! i can't not fuck him

#yeah…#listen you can’t give me a pathetic dork of a man who will kiss the ground I walk on and not expect me to get on my knees I mean what #he’s just neat #anyway

No one asked, but here’s my headcanon heights for all the companions in BG3

• Shadowheart: 5’7 (just seems right to me.)

• Lae’Zel: she gives tiny, but powerful energy to me so like 5’2ish

• Jaheria: 5’6 (feels right.)

• Minthara: 5’9 (She gives model energy to me.)

• Karlach: 6’4 (Shadowheart was so me when she said she wanted her to throw her over her shoulder and carry her to safety.)

• Astarion: 5’9-5’10 (He’s average height, but probably looks taller because he’s got lanky elf limbs.)

• Gale: 6’1 (Like Shart, it just feels right.)

• Halsin: 6’7 (Giant bear-sized bear-man)

• Minsc: 6’6 (Purely because with the arm wrestling thing, I think it’d be funny for Halsin to just be slightly taller than him.)

• Wyll: 5’11 (It feels correct for him.)
