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.)
Bonus: visual aid

BG3 Scents (Headcanons)
Okay so bear with me, I’m slowly getting back into writing on here.. in the meantime, I’ve really gotten into perfumery, and so, here are a few thoughts/headcanons of mine...
Gale: Candle wax, olive oil, sea salt, black tea, parchment paper and a very faint citrusy scent - perhaps lemon or grapefruit.
The wizard’s scent is reminiscent of an old stone house, the very kind which provides you with cool shelter on a hot day… and somewhere in that house, someone has found an old recipe and is now searching through the cupboards for ingredients…
Astarion - Red wine, leather, french lavender, oud, bergamot, smoke.
This scent seems so awfully overpowering at first. It’s the kind of smell that makes you curl your nose up - however, the longer it lingers in the air allows you to notice the subtleties of the scent.. the sharpness of the wine, the sweetness and smokiness of the oud. It’s the kind of scent that is intoxicating - and certainly not for everyone…
Shadowheart - Sugared rose, cherry, lilac, french lavender, frankincense, vanilla, myrrh.
Floral, sugary and almost religious in nature… The half-elf’s scent is reminiscent of an ancient stone church, dark, cool and ancient in nature… There is, however, a floral element too - as if a bouquet has been left to lay wilting by an altar.
Halsin - Pine, oak, woodsmoke, birch sap, fig leaf, wet fur, nag champa.
The druid’s scent is subtle; it’s almost exactly how the forest smells after a heavy storm.. strong, wild and raw and yet, there is still a heady warmth to the scent. Waves of nag champa and fig leaf lay layered on his skin - and of course, due to the nature of such smells, last for days on his clothes too.
Lae’zel -Juniper berries, fresh mint, cypress, sweet grass, dew, white cedar.
This scent is clean, fresh and delicate… It awakens your senses just as a bright crisp sunrise would after a refreshing night camping in a meadow. At first, it may seem like a fairly gender-neutral fragrance, however, the softer notes of the sweet grass and juniper berries can be noticed whenever the wind changes direction.
Wyll - Cardamom, honey, tobacco, bourbon vanilla, grey amber, almond, musk.
This scent is rich, perhaps even a tad on the spicier side of the scent spectrum. To some, it may seem like a spiced dessert paired with a strong drink - to others, it’s reminiscent of being nestled up by a fire, reading a book whilst a thunderstorm cracks overhead. It is sweet as it is masculine, royal as it is earthy.
Karlach - Blackberry, ginger, pepper, dragon’s blood, sandalwood, orange.
Just like the tielfing herself, this scent is unapologetic - firey and playful. The scent toys your senses, the pepper and ginger bubbles like sparkling wine - whilst the sweeter notes of fresh tart fruits provide a girlish, youthful touch… the scent reminds you of pricking your fingers on thorns whilst you collected berries as a child. However, the deeper notes of dragon’s blood and sandalwood round the scent out - those warmer scents are welcoming… homely even.

Spawned from my partner’s bg3 playthrough whereupon they put this awful, awful pilgrim hat on Astarion for laughs (clearly it deeply impressed upon me). You know those cartoon-realism frames in SpongeBob.

Hey guys, so I got a stylus (user @dangerousdm made me do this without pressure sensitivity), and this is. Also an experiment in procreate. I’ve had a time. HOWEVER, I do think the joke is funny.
