it's rly sad that online culture has become so normie infested and they are chasing off/harrassing the freaks and weirdos who have been online since the 90s/2000s who used the internet as a means to meet other weirdos because only weirdos used the internet then. everything has been scrubbed clean

Moss waits.

No matter how bad things might feel within any given moment, they are illithid. They are patient. They can compartmentalize that feeling, and deal with it later. Because they know that there's plenty of time for hugs waiting for them at the end of the day. :'>

"You're the most pathetic ghaik I've ever seen."

Yeah, ok. Moss isn't trying to be a good illithid, they're trying to be a good *being*. There's a big difference between those things. They're oft called weak or weird or 'too nice,' and, well...

It's easier to fool an underestimating foe.

Everything. Moss finds everything with the spark of life beautiful, everything that dies & decays and feeds new life beautiful. Sprouting seeds, mushroom circles, prismatic lights, rain over the ocean, the psychic auras of individuals in love.

Ugly is a word for the hateful. >:v

Moss's choice is obvious: a kindori.

A peaceful astral whale who feeds entirely on sunlight, large enough to have their own gravitational field & air envelope, often covered in fields of symbiotic mold & moss, left alone to explore wildspace by all but the most foolish of foes.

Bliss. 🦑🌿

Moss!! is a walking (well, floating) trans allegory - after a lifetime of feeling not-at-home in both their body & mind, ceremorphosis is the transformation that allows them to discard their past self and finally bloom in a form that makes them happy. <:')

They ID as trans + agender. 🖤🤍💚

I’ve been holding my tongue on this but honestly, *all* fandom creatives deserve support and it’s been disappointing seeing certain people viewing others as rivals. Whether you do art, writing, VP, 3D renders, custom mods, poses, audios etc, you’re all supremely talented and you deserve respect. 🩷

Forest greens may be Moss's favorite color, but I still associate psionic purpinks with them more... ; 3;

For day two of
@whirlinginroses.bsky.social's #BG3FirstsWeek: first argument.

The first time Moss was well & truly frustrated with the Emperor was after the whole Ansur... thing. Just too much left unexplained, y'know? ;(

"Excuse me?"

Moss tries to just leave if hostility is displayed toward them. They'll silently glare at the offender, unblinking, & quietly flee once they're sufficiently unnerved. But if it's particularly mean, they're casting 'pee your pants' psionics immediately. Don't be rude! >:(

There's a bit in the epilogue where Karlach says:
"You're so... tentacle-ly! So shiny."
And the player can reply: "My mucous membranes are self-cleaning. Thank you for noticing."

Moss knows most folks are grasping at straws to be nice, but it might make them a little blushy anyway. ; 3;

For day one of @whirlinginroses.bsky.social's #BG3FirstsWeek: first kiss.

Well, the first kiss that mattered, anyway: in which the Emperor teaches Moss how to psionically infuse feelings and memories into touches, since, well, they don't exactly have lips anymore. 🦑💕🦑

Moss would be a fluffy matcha bubble tea topped with matcha leaves, as green as it can get. Oooh, maybe the tapioca orbs can look like tadpole eggs, for that maximum forbidden fruit gummy feeling...~ >:3c

Moss's favorite treat is simply a shared walk in the woods. They & the Emperor are both workaholics and don't get out much, so it's a rare gift when they're able to convince their partner to get away from the paperwork long enough to meditate & enjoy some peaceful nature together. <:')

Moss's birth name is Gardenia, like the planet & astrological sign. Their parents picked it after looking at the daily Almagest. (They don't know this, though, since they were abandoned in the woods soon after.)

They picked their current name after the comforting fuzz they love so much. 🌿

Moss is 5'9" as a tiefling, but they cap out at 6'4" as an illithid, once they go through the standard 20 years of squid-growth. (An entire foot short of their Emperor's 7'4", alas. It's a good thing they can float for those forehead nuzzles...!)
