So what's Alias' take on Kagha, her involvement with the shadow druids, and what Halsin decides to do with her?

THANK YOU FOR ASKING I have so many thoughts about this

Alias is very familiar with how cults work - not JUST the Bhaalists or Banites in Baldur's Gate, but a wide variety of cults of different natures all across Faerûn and beyond. Alias has witnessed, firsthand, close friends get preyed on and brainwashed by cults (who paid for it pretty severely). It doesn't matter how old, intelligent, or strong you are: there is ALWAYS something that can radicalize you. For Kagha and the other druids, clearly, it was their fear. I highly doubt that they were always so fearful and cruel towards outsiders (if Halsin himself is any indicator, who is probably one of few druids remaining in the Grove who had been there pre-Shadow Curse).

Alias certainly doesn't approve of Kagha or her actions, but she is more sympathetic than most would be due to her own experiences. She believes Halsin made the right choice. She would've done the same thing. Even if you don't believe Kagha deserves mercy and support so she can be de-radicalized (though Alias does), exiling Kagha from the Grove or killing her would've turned her into a martyr. Those in the Grove who supported her would go further down the pipeline and, in the case Kagha lived, she would likely turn back to the Shadow Druids herself (isolated and abandoned by the few who could've still helped her).

Nothing good would've come from any other decision Halsin could've made and Alias believes him when he says that Kagha still has a place in the Grove.

As a fellow scientist, I've always been curious what your field is. ^^

FELLOW SCIENTIST HELLO!!! Have I asked you what your field is? I feel like I have vague recollection but I’m hazy.

I work at a biotech company that screens for cancer! I should update my bio but my title is a Technical Specialist now. No, nothing really IT related. I’m still trained and able to do all the scientist stuff, but my primary responsibility is troubleshooting samples that are stuck in the process or had weird things happen.

LIVE THEO REACTION TO @mogruith 's TAGS (dunked for visibility hehe)

i love my lil guy so much hes such a mess like!! even with amnesia and brain damage hes still a spark of divinity in a fleshy body! he reacts and experiences the world as this physically divine creature, he never STOPS being a Titan even when he doesnt REMEMBER, but that experience in and of itself isnt COMPLICATED

complication and nuance is the domain of mortals and their mutable souls and fluctuating opinions, dirge however will always BE what he is. the person attached to that can change, but he will always feel pleasure and fulfillment out of killing, regardless of how he moralizes it. he exists fully and completely within his body in a way thats difficult to express to others because theres this... seamlessness to the connection between flesh and soul, and its reflected in his strange unnatural physiology. dirge literally sees blood differently than anyone else, and the sensation of its touch is visceral. he feels, constantly, strongly, and is made and unmade by contact and touch. he is a creature of sensation and is incredibly simple in that regard. it isnt that difficult to understand what makes dirge tick because his reactions are fairly predictable and consistent. hes unnatural BECAUSE of that, because mortal lives are capable of resisting their natures and impulses! whereas dirge is just always going to be critically weak to chin scritchins and blood baths

ironically enough he doesnt actually care that much for food or drink but thats more because hes unwell LMAO

and potentially because most of his hungers and cravings are non physical

Hello! ^^ Would you mind answering 5, 6, and 11 from the TQotD for Callow? I know they're not quite in BG3 yet but, hopefully these will be okay.

6. What does his tent area look like? Where does he prefer to pitch his tent (next to water, covered on three sides, etc)?

Very basic, bare essentials. Pitches his tent in whatever available, level area he sees first. Callow's area in camp is like the DnD equivalent of a man's bedroom that just has a TV with a console and a naked mattress on the floor. He doesn't care about that sort of thing as much as he should.

6. If he had a set of dnd dice, what would they look like?

I actually have this set of bronze-colored metal dice I'm excited to use for him when the Descent into Avernus campaign he's gonna be in starts!!

(I don't know what they're actually made of or where they're from because they were a gift from years ago, sorry)

11. What are his thoughts on clowns?

He would have never seen (or even heard of) any clowns before meeting Dribbles and afterward I think he'd just move on assuming all clowns are Like That.

So it's safe to say his opinion isn't very positive.

Would you mind answering 1, 8, and 14 off the Secret Ask List for my boy, Elenion?

I've also been tossing 30 out for giggles, but it's optional!

of course, ty for the ask! 💖

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

...okay so. disclaimer that i've only seen, like, 2 episodes of bridgerton because i had a friend who insisted on having me watch it. i thought it was all right but i never ended up continuing it outside of watching random clips featuring the character i'm about to mention. sooo i have no idea how or why my brain decided this. but elenion sounds like colin bridgerton. here's some clips!

he has voice 1 in-game which is close enough though LOL

8) What hobbies does your OC have? What do they do to unwind?

Elenion is a huge reader! He especially loves to read about history and myths and folklore but he does have a secret soft spot for romance novels.

He takes a little pocket telescope with him everywhere because he loves to stargaze. His best artistic inspiration comes when he’s out by himself under the stars, playing music or journaling—writing songs, sketching constellations, cataloguing the weird little artifacts he’s collected on his travels, or just writing down his thoughts.

He loves fashion and shopping. Partially just for fun and self-expression, but he also treats it like a form of self-care. Though he will not openly admit that splurging on ridiculous luxury items and vintage jewelry helps him cope with life, he'll just make up elaborate reasons for why he Absolutely Needs to buy another fancy jeweled hand mirror or something.

Oh yeah, and he also enjoys theater! He likes watching operas and plays because it scratches every part of his brain at once: the performer who wants to analyze the technical craft, the scholar who's fascinated by how stories reflect the cultures they come from, and the romantic who just wants to get swept up in the emotion a bit.

14) Who's a character your OC cannot stand! It's on sight when they see them!

every time i get a question like this i have to give the same answer and i feel like a volo hate blog at this point i'm sorry 😭 I DON'T EVEN HATE VOLO I THINK HE'S FUNNY... unfortunately elenion is a history nerd who cares about accuracy and honesty and can't stand people pretending to be smarter than they are or lying about important things for clout (kind of silly of him to build his entire career and public persona out of lying to himself and everyone else about who he is and what he wants, but he doesn't consider his own needs important so that doesn't count haha!) so he just thinks volo is a pompous, pretentious, exploitative hack who should've been left at the goblin camp, if only elenion's conscience wasn't telling him he couldn't just leave someone to die. they first met years ago pre-tadpole and elenion has hated him ever since.

30) My OC and your OC are friends. This isn’t a question. I’m not asking. (How do they respond?)

from what i know about coranzan i think he and elenion could get along! they seem to have a lot of similar hobbies and interests, not to mention a similar taste in fashion, and you've mentioned that he's musically included, so they'd be able to bond on a surface level over those things... though elenion might just turn up his nose a little if he knew that coranzan used to act in propaganda pieces because it would hit on some of the things i just said he hates volo for haha. however, unless i've completely misunderstood him, corazan also seems like the kind of person who would be able to get past his walls and force him to admit when something is wrong instead of pretending like he's 200% fine all the time—and that's something that would help elenion warm up to him.

Hello! Would you mind answering 3, 9, and 18 from the Random OC NSFW Asks for Elenion? Please and thank you!

absolutely, ty for the ask!! also i got another ask that included 18—so here's that one for you, anon! for someone who claims to be embarrassed about posting these things i think i made my answers a little too detailed oops.

3. Quickies vs Planned sex—thoughts?

elenion is 100% down for anything and has had plenty of quickies before because they're hot and intense and get the job done. but he really does prefer planned sex if he happens to be in a relationship where the vibe feels right for that! he loves dragging out the anticipation, being able to make sure he looks and feels his very best, and he likes feeling like his partner wants him badly enough that they're willing to wait. which means he and gale do planned sex a lot... though they definitely still go for quickies, especially earlier in their relationship because they're both so insatiable.

9. What’s their favorite way to get in the mood? How do they set the mood?

he's always in the mood jk the actual answer to this is that elenion loves teasing their partner with whispered words and lingering kisses and subtle touches that make them shiver, and they will drag all that out for as long as possible.

however, he's also secretly a huge sap and a hopeless romantic who deep down would love to light scented candles all throughout the room, arrange flowers, and do every possible cliche you can think of... but he's waaaay too emotionally guarded pre-bg3 for all of that! so if he even bothers instead of just getting straight to business, then it would mostly involve doing just enough to charm the other person, make them feel lucky they get to be with him, without feeling too intimate. maybe, like, setting out a single candle and a couple glasses of wine and playing a tune on his lute so his partner can take a few minutes to wonder what else those hands can do LMAO.

with gale he finally gets to do the relentless teasing AND the cheesy hopeless romantic shit at the same time! <3

18. Their favorite actions during sex—chin-grabbing, hair-pulling, wrists being pinned, etc.

for things elenion likes doing to his partner: he enjoys all of the above but wrist-pinning is a big one, especially when combined with teasing his partner by letting them move for just a moment before pinning them down again. partly because pre-tapdole he almost always needed to be the one in control during sex which included wanting to control his partner's ability to touch him, and also partly just because he thinks seeing someone a little helpless beneath him is hot! they still do this to gale too but it often ends in them pressing kisses along his jaw and then letting their fingers gently slide into his until they're holding hands.

their favorite thing to have done to them was always having their long gorgeous hair played with and lightly pulled on! but if gale is topping him then something he loves is that, like... elenion will often instinctively try to shy away in response to gale saying really sweet things or kissing him in ways that make him melt. which causes gale to either grab elenion's hands or wrists so they can't cover their face, or grip their chin and tilt their head to make them look at him. gale doing this makes elenion's 14 INT turn into an 8 every time from how simultaneously sweet and sexy it is, and sometimes he purposely tries to make gale grab him like that just because he's soooo into it.
