Courage puts some music she wrote on the lanterns and hopes it brings joy to whoever finds it.

Courage got stoned (probably procured through Halsin) and started rummaging through the provisions for a snack, but tripped over Gale’s pots and pans. Oops.

So take the beautiful showers below as inspiration, then imagine 30+ bottles of soaps and scrubs and shampoos, an exfoliating net, and so much pink and white hair clogging the drain and stuck to the walls. Courage and Astarion both have curls and lots of hair and both use too many products

Courage loves a blindfold. As a bard, music is obviously very important to her, but sound in general is her strongest sense. Getting rid of any other distractions only heightens her connection to her hearing and allows her to hear all the sinful noises her lover makes.

#NSFW #TavQotD
Today's #kinktober prompts are blindfolds, chastity, and bloodplay? Does your Tav/Durge indulge in any of these?

Oh my god, that’s perfect! Wyll is such a dream. But then, so is your Tav!

Astarion has had to sit through a dissertation on the use of the bean theme in into the woods more times than he could count, and if he never hears it again, it’ll be too soon. (Except he actually loves it and thinks it’s cute how excited she gets. It’s all part of the charade.)

Courage LOVES musicals. In her canon storyline, she was literally set to join the opera before she got tadpoled, and her role got recast. In a modern AU, I see her more as a pop star, but she would love to be on Broadway. She loves a lot of shows, but she’s a Sondheim girly.

Courage would be Galarian Rapidash.

Courage asks Mal what his favorite story is, then puts on a one man, bastardized, comedic, improved play where she plays all the characters. There’s song and dance and a kazoo solo. (She pulls it out of her bra. Yes it was there before she started. You never know when you might need one)

Utterly disconnected from who she truly is that she’s in an almost constant state of dissociation. She feels nothing, because she can’t afford to. Reduced to nothing but a mindless assassin.

(1/2) Courage isn’t Courage. She’s Atropos, the name her birth mother gave her. She never got to become the person she truly is. She still grew up in a cult before she was given to the Bhaalists. Punished for singing, her mouth is scared. Yes rarely speaks. She is a shell of herself, so…

Yeah, I figured that out on my second play through, which is the one time I got her. I recruited her on my third, but there’s a narrow window in the ketheric fight where she can still die and I didn’t wanna redo the whole thing. Decided it would just be my canon. Haven’t made it there in current run

To my shame, I’ve played the game 4 times through and I’ve only saved her once. She always dies for me. 😔. So Courage’s canon is that she’s dead.

In the one AU she isn’t, Courage would politely decline. She’d prefer to focus on her music. Her adventuring days are behind her (she thinks).

Yes! All of Courage’s family are waiting for her back at her mother’s house in the upper city. They return to her house once the sun sets for Astarion’s safety, and when they arrive, her mother is pacing the porch, agonizing over when she’ll get home. Courage sprints to her arms.

Yes. To any and all.

Courage has never once met a sweet treat she didn’t like, but she is especially fond of ice cream (rip Courage, you would’ve loved lactaid). She’ll go for a really sweet flavor like strawberry or birthday cake.

Courage “worships” Pan, god of music and lord of the Fae Wilds. Except, that’s SO formal to him, you know? Nah, he doesn’t really see himself as a god, he’s just Pan. That’s what she calls him. So their relationship is close but casual. He’s more like a weird grandpa.

For the Durges, how does your Durge address Bhaal?

And for the Tavs with Gods, how do they address their God?

Her adoptive mom Syndra. Her hadrosaur Haddy Mae. Girls nights by the fire. Coffee from the press Wakanga gave her. The smell of her shampoo. Her bed! The slender cypress trees that line the courtyard. Sitting by the window with her hookah, blazed, writing a song. Home.

So, I’ve talked about this a little bit, but one of the influences for Courage was Courage the Cowardly Dog. Then I thought about that quote from the princess diaries. It got me thinking about a character who was a walking ball of fear and anxiety but did the damn thing anyways.
