#tavqotd Who wants your Tav or Urge for all that they are? Who in their life only wants part?
This is the thing that makes Ria and Astarion work for me. He does not shy away from her ruthlessness. Around him, she can stop acting.

I can raise math, English and science scores in a district more by offering free breakfast and lunch, than by banning cell phones.
But one feels like punishment and blaming bad, lazy, kids, and the other requires acknowledging adults' role in creating a dystopian environment not ideal for learning.

#tavqotd What class are your Tav/Durge and their LI? How does this affect their relationship?
Bards and Rogues synergize so, so well. Ria and Astarion bonded over more than just how nicely she could set him up in battle, but it certainly didn't hurt. Also, he thinks vicious mockery is funny.

#tavqotd What class are your Tav/Durge and their LI?
How does this affect their relationship? Do they accept each other's classes or dislike at all? Do they teach each other about their own class? And if they have the same class: How does it work?

#tavqotd Did your tav/durge get Volo'd, or was it someone else who unfortunately suffered him? Does anybody get the hag eye in your party?
No one took the hag eye because Ria would have smacked that person so hard their grandparents would feel it. No one got Volo'd either

#tavqotd What characteristic (physical, personality, and others) does your Tav/Durge admire most in their LI?
Ria thinks Astarion is incredibly brave and staggeringly resilient and respects the hell out of him for both things. It inspires her to fight back against her own fears.

#TavQOTD Who usually does what when having sex? Do they switch it up, or are they more comfortable with a specific role?
Ria and Astarion usually play/have sex without power play because of Astarion's history. But Ria *does not* sub. Beyond that, acts are very, very flexible.

#TavQOTD Who fell first? Who fell harder? Did they recognize their feelings right away, or were they in denial?
Ria and Astarion had matching 'oh no' moments in the wake of the 'I'll be your mirror' conversation. Neither one of them was prepared to deal with the feelings yet. Astarion was braver!

Why does your OC have sex (Stress relief? Their way of feeling attractive? Socializing? Etc)? #TavQotD
Ria said yes to Astarion's offer in part to relieve stress. She's also fond of it as a way of being close to her partner, and she's not big on casual sex in general

#tavqotd Your Tav/Durge is trying go make friends, how do they accomplish this?
Ria is a fan of small talk as Social Noises. She reaches out to people in her space because that's what you *do* to have a community (see: Zevlor, tieflings). Sharing her time and space is a sign she wants to be friends

♥️B: How does your Tav/Durge feel about literature in setting?
Ria *loves* reading. She's even less of a romance novel reader than I am and has a fondness for tragedies and really anything she can get her teeth into.

#tavqotd A question for the magic using tavs/durges, do they have any prejudices against other types of magic users?
When Ria meets a wizard who DOESN'T act like a self-important, elitist, condescending windbag, she will revise her opinion of them as a group.

Ria went through the Selûnite temple— first thing she found, but also the most controlled entry point. She was not a fan of going back, and having sturdy walls in the way helped with the first few minutes
