ғᴇᴀᴛᴜʀɪɴɢ: The Emperor, Raphael, Minthara, Kethric Thorm, Gortash, Orin, and The Dark Urge.
ᴛʀɪɢɢᴇʀ ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: Typical BG3 canon-like mentions of violence
ᴛʜᴇ ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ:
Loves how easily you take him at his word, as opposed to assuming he is evil simply for being a mindflayer.
Enjoys seeing the world through your eyes, as he’s stuck in the astral plane. He appreciates your rose-colored tales of your day-to-day life. They almost remind him of what it felt like to be human.
Shares with you all the memorabilia he has collected in his hideout beneath the Elfsong Tavern because he knows you’ll appreciate the sentimentality.
✦
ʀᴀᴘʜᴀᴇʟ:
Can’t help but be drawn to your kindness and inquisitive nature, the way a predator is called to its prey.
He knows you are no threat to him, so he’ll allow himself to be unguarded around you, should you have earned it.
Repeatedly insists you come to live with him in his House of Hope, as you will be safe in his tightly guarded and highly manicured domain. At the same time, he relishes the opportunity visiting you brings.
Enjoys getting a taste of the mundane through your ever-optimistic eyes. It’s like a play-by-play of humanity— without the usual pathetic bitterness.
✦
ᴍɪɴᴛʜᴀʀᴀ:
Has a love-hate relationship with your kindness and naivety. On one hand, she enjoys the benefits you personally bring her; on the other hand, you’d be killed in Menzoberranzan almost instantly.
You are not worthy of a drow matriarch's house, and yet, she cannot find the will to tear herself from your alliance because, deep down, Minthara loves just how much you remember about her. She takes great comfort in knowing there is someone, even a weak and loving someone like you, who will remember her strength after she is gone.
Does everything she can to protect you, and why yes, that does include secretly poisoning you to build up your tolerance.
✦
ᴋᴇᴛʜᴇʀɪᴄ ᴛʜᴏʀᴍ:
Your innocence reminds him of happier times— back when he still had his wife and daughter around, back when he could honestly say he had a happy family.
It starts as more of a protective instinct within him. He can’t bear to see one more pure thing be corrupted by the cruelties of this world.
But before long, he finds he takes great comfort in listening to you speak and watching you as you interact with the various goblins and soldiers within Moonrise Towers.
If he hadn’t sold his soul to share, then murky, Ketheric might’ve been so moved by your kindness as to stop the shadow curse. But alas, even your great heart cannot undo millennia of heartache.
✦
ɢᴏʀᴛᴀsʜ:
Loves that you’re genuinely sweet and caring- it looks very good for his image.
Appreciates how you soften his demeanor when in a crowd.
Is lowkey selfish when it comes to sharing you with the public. He’s never known much kindness, so he prefers to be the only one receiving all of your kindness.
Does NOT tell you ANYTHING about his or The Chosen Three’s Plan. He knows you wouldn’t approve; it’s not exactly nice to strip away everyone’s free will after all.
Refuses to tadpole you, even with Orin and Ketheric insisting. He couldn’t do that to you; besides, he does not need to. You already trust him implicitly.
✦
ᴏʀɪɴ:
Keeps you far away from other Bhalists and the Bhal Temple. She refuses to share you with them.
Is constantly fighting her urge to slice you up— to tear you limb from limb in ritualistic torture. She knows your sweet cries of betrayal would sound like music to her ears. But she just can’t do that. (Probably. Yet.)
Loves shapeshifting into random people to interact with you, just to see all the different sides of your good nature. She knows she can’t experience it any other way.
Wonders how Durge would handle such a predicament, as she used to look up to and admire them.
✦
ʙᴏɴᴜs! ᴇᴠɪʟ!ᴅᴜʀɢᴇ:
Sets you up in a nice apartment in Baldur’s Gate, and gives you explicit instructions not to wander outside without protection.
Fears that you will fall prey to the thieves and guilds that run the underground and be either killed or kidnapped before they can interfere on your behalf.
After the… accident, they forget most about you. All they can remember is a bright light, emanating from a stranger’s clouded face. Who could this ray of sunshine be? And how could they be an ally while Durge is such a monster?
They do not know the true depth of your relationship, but one thing is for certain: they are going to do everything in their power to find out.
ᴀ/ɴ: I know I haven't written or posted anything original for like a year… And that makes me sad. But it’s bittersweet, because believe it or not, I think I’ve been getting better (mentally, emotionally, physically) this past year, and that just ended up taking precedence. I still love fandom, and I still love writing. I still want to continue my ongoing headcanons and answer the asks in my inbox.
So I guess what I’m really trying to say is… Thanks. Thanks for being here, and for having been here throughout it all. I’m truly grateful that at the end of the day, no matter how long it’s been, I can always come home to Tumblr, to fandom, to fanfic, to artwork. I just think that’s beautiful.
As always…
With Love,
