I need double my savings. Now.

It is a very strange feeling to technically have enough money for top surgery but to be unable to do that. Here is the solution to my dysphoria, daily clothing problems, and reluctance to date, ready and available, but I cannot Use it because a mortgage would be a better long term plan

And even though Parsipan is still evil, when push comes to shove his dedication to Gale wins above any other because Gale is the only one who fulfils it all. Bhaal successfully made a worshipful, obsessive, violent little husk of a man, and then forgor to make sure that worship couldn't stray

Egotistical, intelligent lover with a taste for godly netherese power? Was Gortash, now Gale

A god to worship, to whom he would be the most important follower? Was Bhaal, to be Gale (once he has the crown)

A caring presence to make sure he's fed and behaves himself? Was Sceleritas, now Gale

Parsipan's personality changed very little, but his focus changed a lot. Absent his memory but still in possession of his likes, dislikes, and base convictions, he re-formed the only meaningful relationship structures he previously had with Gale as the sole subject of his fixations and expectations

This one is for the Durges!
Did your Durge's personality dramatically shift after Orin factory reset or were they fairly the same, just without their memories?

I realised that the reason your character gains a tooth gap when you use the astral tadpole is likely bc the bone at the roof of the mouth splits open like when dentists use a palate expander, intending to become that side mouth thing illithid have

And now I wonder if it would be weird to kiss...

I have to get up at 4am for a flight at the end of the week and dont want to be completely out of it that day so I'll be training myself to wake up earlier and be at least sitting in bed at like 7pm and let me tell you. I already feel like a cicada husk

I see so many depictions of other companions as fallen angels, but Wyll is just...he's THE fallen angel of BG3. Fallen from grace for a sacrifice of a lifetime. Bathing him in golden sunlight with the wings he deserves.

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

Patreon Request - Bladesinger Practice (Gale x Wyll)

I got the specific request for them sparring, and I love the idea of Gale learning to becoming a bladesinger wizard - so maybe Wyll gives him some tips. Then they get sweaty and gay about it.

#bg3 #bladeweave

Illustration of Gale and Wyll from Baldur's Gate 3 - caught in a sparring match. Both men are shirtless and sweaty, and Wyll has Gale pinned under him, with his blade against Gale's throat. Gale is holding back the blade with his own, which is a purple coloured magical blade. Both men are grinning.

this may be the most #zenos coded word in all of the english language

Origin and history of the word venery:

venery(n.1)
"pursuit of sexual pleasure, carnal desire and activity," mid-15c., venerie, from Medieval Latin veneria "sexual intercourse," from Latin venus (plural venerea) "sexual love, sexual desire" (from PIE root *wen- (1) "to desire, strive for").
In earlier use it may have been felt as a play on homonym venery (n.2) "practice or sport of hunting, the chase," which is now-obsolete (and likely for that reason). Related: Venereous.

venery(n.2)
"hunting of game animals, the sports of the chase," c. 1300, from Old French venerie, from Medieval Latin venaria "beasts of the chase, game, hunting," from Latin venari "to hunt, pursue" (probably from PIE root *wen- (1) "to desire, strive for").
Nares (1822) notes it is "Disused probably on account of the equivoque with the word as derived from Venus" (see venery (n.1)). The four beasts of venery, those particularly suitable for hunting, in Middle English generally were the hart, the hare, the wild boar, and the wolf.
