Hopping onto a BG3 Tag Game ✨
Got tagged by the fantastic @floehie and couldn't resist a good excuse to talk about BG3 after having gone so long without ;0;
Favorite romance: The sassy, bloody, cat-like vampire of course.
Favorite class to play: Rogue, rogue, rogue. In BG3? Rogue. In D&D? Rogue. In Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, insert-other-fantasy-rpg-here? Rogue. Give me stealth, give me duel-wielding blades, and give me a sneak attack/backstab bonus and I am a happy camper. c:
Favorite NPC: This is tough because there are a lot of NPCs I like for their growth and path throughout the game (Rolan, Barcus, Mayrina), others I like just because they're amazingly written (Ethel, Raphael, Orin), and others because I just love their design so much (Alfira, Dame Aylin, Volo). It's hard to pick a single favorite, but a character that I think has all three and I quite enjoy would be Zevlor. Something about a fallen Paladin that tugs at the heartstrings for me.
Favorite song off the soundtrack: Listen, I Want to Live made me cry when I first got to Act 3 and I don't care if it's a cliche answer, I'm sticking by it!
Tell us a little about your Tav: My main, "canon" Tav is Rogue!Tav, who is a character I've been using for years. First used them in a campaign for D&D almost ten years ago now and I have been using them in games ever since. They are a wood Elf Assassin Rogue who had an undisclosed tragic past and a tired-of-your-shit mentality. Their best stats are Dex, Cha and Wis, lowest stats are Str and Int, neutral Con.
I've shared this before, but their main traits on their character sheet are true to how I play them in games:
Personality: Stay calm, get shit done.
Ideal: Fuck authority.
Bond: I’ve lost people before. No more mistakes.
Flaw: I ignore plans.
For the full fun-facts posts check it here. And their favorite expression below.
Something you wish was in the game: I would love an Act 2 "hang out" like the Goblin Party or Withers' Party. It's all available in Moonrise too! Just a nice little cap to a harrowing journey.
Do you create fanworks? Share something with us: Oh yes. Too many and somehow not remotely enough. I haven't written in weeks (so sorry ;-; work will either end me or I will be free in a week or two), but before I took like a two month hiatus, I wrote ~260K words through 26 works of AstarionxTav fun over ~8 months. If you want to read about Rogue!Tav or one of my other fics, you can find them on AO3 here! I plan to get back to it as soon as my sanity allows :'D
Annnnd for tags, some no pressure tagging @chaoticbardlady99 @davenswitcher @mj-bites
#bg3#tag game#this was fun!!!#thanks for the tag!! i needed a little fun thing#also i think i need to play D&D#i havent in like two months and i feel like that directly correlates to how difficult life is LOL

Something something Tav never saying “you’re mine” to Astarion because even if they mean it sweetly it triggers bad feelings for him. Vs. Astarion calling Tav “mine” all the time because they are the first thing that has ever felt like HIS.

~continuing to build out the classical art Astarion collection~
Astarion as Apollo in Apollo, God of Light, Eloquence, Poetry and the Fine Arts with Urania, Muse of Astronomy by Charles Meynier, 1798.
Astarion as Persephone in The Abduction of Proserpina by an unidentified painter, second half of 17th century, feat. Cazador as Hades.
Astarion as Narcissus in Echo and Narcissus by John William Waterhouse, 1903, feat. rogue!tav as Echo.
Astarion and rogue!tav in The Kiss by Auguste Rodin, 1882.
Astarion and rogue!tav in Sakuntala by Camille Claudel, 1905.
Astarion and rogue!tav in Eternal Idol by Auguste Rodin, 1893.
I feel like a weird little art curator. Anyway, there are a few more I'd like to do, namely Cupid/Psyche, but I haven't run a poll in a while so I might do that next time c:

Ahh thanks so much for the tag <3
I haven't shown a ton of Rogue!Tav's face, so like the usual disclaimer that while this playthrough is the inspiration for Love at First Knife, you can imagine whomever you'd like in my fic! c:
Rogue!Tav is an Assassin Rogue who hasn't known a day of peace in their entire life lol
Their song would be Used to the Darkness by Des Rocs, but honestly it was hard to pick a song (might need to make a playlist hah)
Tags for anyone who might like to partake! I don't know who all has done it already (I am so late to this tag :'D)
What Song?
So, a little game - what song encapsulates your Tav/Durge? Post a picture of them, their name and class and a link to the song that represents them with the reason why.
Ayressa Aedihle - Bardlock (College of Lore/The Arch Fey)
This song was a find from a few years ago, but it’s become Ayressa’s song because it’s what I imagine her voice to sound like. Haunting vocals echo through this song and while its lyrics aren’t hopeful, it does speak of a sort of eternal love.
I suppose it’s more appropriate for any iteration of Ayressa who loses Gale - either to the Orb or Sneaky!God syndrome but I still think that it has a place with Ayressa getting a happy ending.
Your turn.

Hello my sweet! 😁
First of all, sorry for the invasion.
Second, I just want to leave here some appreciation words.
That being said, let me tell you that I'm in love with your brain! I finished reading your magnificent fic "when he's all but forgotten how to love again" and man... I can't tell you the mix of feelings that I felt throughout the entire story. I love everything in it, the concept (a brilliant one in my opinion), the characters, and man... Astarion... How I love the way you write him. It's really him!!
Today, I started reading "The consequences of convenience" and I am hooked already!
So, thank you for your time and dedication to create some fabulous stories with our beloved Astarion. They really touched my heart... You are very talented! And I am delighted to have found your work! You have a fan here!
I understand that you had been through a hard time, so I wanted to reach out and send you some good vibes! Best times will come, they always do.
I wish you all the best 💜
Hello!
Please do not apologize for invading, it's much welcome <3
And ;0; thank you so much!! It has been a rough couple of weeks, so I appreciate the kind words a *ton*. I honestly cannot wait to get back to writing once I have more than a few hours to myself and knowing that people are reading along and excited to see more is just so lovely. Thank you, thank you, thank you :')
I appreciate the good vibes so much and sending a ton back! <333

In the past 4 weeks I've been uh going through it a bit.
Cw: lots of complaining and personal stuff below
Worst birthday to date (and my parents used to forget my birthday regularly)
Partner got into a car accident (mostly fine, but the car isn't)
My phone broke, new ones are way more expensive than I remember them being 🥲
Being told by my manager that I 'do not care enough' after several 12 hour days
Then after having to crunch severely, only to be told that we might not have a job in a few weeks so stop working (also mourning the loss of our project 😭)
Cat being sick repeatedly
Finding out that my only support system and family is potentially moving away
I'm surviving but it feels like I'm one bad thing away from just falling over. Anyway! I'm lucky to have what I do. And I'll be fine, I always am lol.
