Please share for dear Nya ❤️‍🩹 Nya is a dear friend of mine, but that shouldn’t matter—all that should matter is that we can have a direct impact on her family’s ability to survive, and act on that. They’re mostly kids, displaced & hungry.

I feel that, that fight really is so annoying and long 😭

And I'm already giving Ophelia my energy for some of the encounters in Act I, it really can be rough on honor mode 😭7

Because of this, she ends up reaching out to the party and opening up to them, which is something she would’ve never done had her memories stayed intact. Post-tapole, it might seem like she’s changed a lot, but the truth is that the reset just exposed her heart and brought it to the surface. [4/4]

An in-game screenshot of my durge Amarie and Astarion. They are both sitting on their knees and facing each other. Amarie is sitting on the left and is an elf with bone white hair done up in a crown braid. She has a pallid skintone and is wearing a white dress. Her face is obscured and turned away from the viewer, while Astarion's face is visible in the frame. Astarion is wearing his dark brown leather spawn route epilogue outfit.

An in-game screenshot of my durge Amarie and Gale during the friendship route version of his Act II scene. They are both sitting on a blanket, facing away from the viewer, and looking at a magical aurora that Gale conjured in the sky. They are both wearing their default camp clothes.

An in-game screenshot of my durge Amarie and my friend @willowyn's tav Meliahwyl. Amarie's canon timeline is a joint playthrough with my friend and they end up becoming close friends over the course of the story! Meliahwyl is standing on the left and is a wood elf with long curly brown hair and light green skin, while Amarie is on the right and is a high elf with a pallid skintone and bone white hair in a messy crown braid. Meliahwyl is wearing brown and green druid armor while Amarie is wearing red, white, and gold armor with a red and white cape. Amarie is facing away from the viewer and her face is completely obscured while Meliahwyl's face is fully visible in the frame.

It should also be said that losing her memories also broke down a lot of her mental walls; when she woke up on the nautiloid, she woke up with a hole in her heart over the loss of someone important to her, even though she couldn’t remember who it was. [3/4]

An in-game screenshot of my durge Amarie and Gortash. Amarie is an elf with a pallid skintone and bone white hair done up in a messy crown braid; attached to the back of her braid is a large hairpiece made to resemble the symbol of Bhaal. They are both naked but are only shown from the shoulders up. Amarie is covered in blood but Gortash isn't. Gortash is on the left while Amarie is on the right; she is gently holding his hand in hers. They are both looking at each other with soft expressions on their faces.

Incidentally, leaning into her bloodlust was also one of the ways in which she coped with her life pre-tadpole, so in a way she’s just doing what she’s always done 😅

This time, though, she’s allowed to feel without repercussion, and intentionally tries (🥲) to avoid killing helpless opponents. [2/4]

Amarie fundamentally stays the same person at her core but loses a lot of the boundless confidence she had pre-tadpole once she wakes up with no clear purpose or memories. The only thing she really remembers is how to fight, and ends up leaning into this as a way to cope with it all. [1/4]

An in-game screenshot of my durge Amarie during the scene where she inadvertently kills Alfira due to the Urges. She is an elf with a pallid skintone and unstyled bone white hair. She is wearing a white shirt with red accents. Her hands are covered in blood and she is looking at them with a concerned expression on her face.

She really isn’t *too* different from the default BT1 model and it might be hard to see much of a difference at first, but she has a larger torso and smaller boobs + ass than the default BT1 model 😅 [2/2]

I made a unique body for her (originally based off of Torofu’s small boobs BT1 body, which is free to modify!) so I decided to make some refits for her Embrace AU playthrough! Her body is based on my RL proportions actually 😮

Three in-game screenshots of my durge Amarie in the character creation screen, showing her wearing three refits that I made for her. She is an elf with a pallid skintone and bone white hair done up in a messy crown braid; attached to the back of her hair is a large hairpiece resembling the symbol of Bhaal. In the leftmost screenshot, she is wearing the default Bhaalist armor. In the center screenshot, she is wearing the Shadow Druid armor, which some Bhaalists also wear in-game. In the rightmost screenshot, she is wearing rags along with a scarf.

Four in-game screenshots showing my durge Amarie in the character creator, showing her wearing some refits I made for her. She is an elf with a pallid skintone and bone white hair done up in a messy crown braid; attached to the back of her hair is a large hairpiece resembling the symbol of Bhaal. In the two screenshots to the left, she is wearing a red and white version of the noble dress, along with two large red and white bejeweled pauldrons and the matching boots from the set. In the two screenshots to the right, she is wearing an in-game variant of the human underwear dyed red.

#Tavqotd a tell for anger

When Xandros' head dips, his eyes narrow, and the light leaves his eyes. When no light touches his eyes, be worried, he's pissed.

Luckily, he's not quick to anger and tends to let most things roll off him. He's a chill dude. #xandros
