Actually . I am curious

If you played a bard in BG3 , what instrument did you choose ?

Hand Drum

Lute

Flute

Lyre

Violin

Voting ended onJan 28, 2024

If your character canonically plays multiple of these or maybe their preferred instrument wasn’ t included in the game , choose the one you picked on the character creation screen

If you have multiple bards , choose the first one you made to answer with

Please reblog if you vote to feed my curiosities and also maybe tell me what instrument and why ….. < 3

What If Baldur’s Gate 3 Characters Were Magnus Archive Fear Avatars?

This has been sitting in a Google doc since last year, I'm not hyperfixating on either of these fandoms currently but you guys get to see it finally because I'm sick of seeing it unfinished in my drafts.

Without further ado, this is what I think all the BG3 companions (minus Minsc and Jaheira) + the Dead Three's chosen would be the avatars of if they were TMA fear avatars! Plus explanation, of course.

[Blanket Spoiler Warning, Proceed With Caution]

Lae’zel: The Slaughter, since Gith culture is militaristic and Lae’zel is a soldier through and through— she doesn't mindlessly kill or easily fly into a blind rage, but she still craves blood all the same.

Shadowheart: The Dark. Come on, Shar wants to plunge the world into eternal darkness, this writes itself.

Astarion: The Web, for his fixation on manipulation and gaining power in any way he can. Hell, even in his romance he was manipulating Tav/Durge at first, even if he realizes that security wasn't all he wanted.

Gale: The Eye, his obsession with knowledge and his need to know more was what brought him ruin and led him to the Orb, not unlike a certain Archivist we know.

Wyll: The Hunt, since he's literally primarily a hunter of monsters and other demonic creatures. Targeted by the Eye, maybe, since Mizora uses his bloodstone eye for surveillance and he's so worried about pursuing a romance with Tav/Durge because she's turned his own brain into a nightmare panopticon where he doesn't know if he's being watched so he always acts like he is.

Karlach: The Slaughter, for her connections with war and destruction— she's full of rage and violence but while I do think the fire caused by her engine smacks of Desolation, she's not been brought low enough to be a Desolation avatar in my opinion (even with her consuming other people's misery like one via Soul Coins).

Halsin: The Hunt, mostly for his animal connections and his obsession with tracking down the answers to fix the Shadow Curse not unlike the way you see mentions of explorers in the 1800s trying to find secrets in the more remote parts of the world.

Minthara: The Web, not just because drow and haha spiders but because she's fixated on gaining power, even if you recruited her the “good” way. Hell, you literally find her sitting on Ketheric’s throne after you kill him in the Mindflayer colony and come back up to the surface of Moonrise.

Withers: Not even an avatar, he's just The End, as the Literal (Retired) God Of Death And Everything Surrounding It.

Ketheric: The End, which is fitting not only because Myrkul is the Necromancer in the Dead Three trio, but because Ketheric's motivation for turning to evil gods (first Shar, then Myrkul) was because his wife and daughter died, and he couldn't handle that loss.

Orin: The Slaughter, for obvious reasons. Not the Hunt, mostly just because Bhaal focuses on the blood of the murder itself, not the chase beforehand. But I do think she's sharing winks with the Stranger, what with her being a Changeling and all.

Gortash: The Web, as The Web’s avatars tend to love manipulation and holding power over others— fitting for the Chosen of the God of Tyranny. (Touched by Desolation like Mike Crew was touched by the Spiral because of Gortash’s connection to the Hells, maybe?)
