There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.

I’ve been studying the classic black tie dress code (mainly from here) so I thought I could share my notes. Maybe they can be helpful to someone else, too. If I made any mistakes or things are really confusing please tell me.  I also have some notes on white tie which I could share as well…

Companions' Wishes

Wyll:

Shadowheart:

Gale:

Karlach:

Astarion:

Lae'zel:

I just thought these were cool insights on the characters.

(Haven't checked if Lae'zel's options change if she visits the Creche first, but it is too late for that )

Edit: If you are wondering where this is, you should investigate the basement of the apothecary in the Blighted Village.

Wizard

The wizard is a scholar of arcane mysteries, embodying intellect, curiosity, and mastery over magic through study and practice. They are seekers of knowledge, delving into ancient tomes and esoteric rituals to unlock the secrets of the universe. Wizards wield magic through rigorous training, mastering complex spells and incantations that manipulate the fundamental forces of reality. Unlike sorcerers or warlocks, who draw upon innate or granted abilities, wizards rely on their intellect and discipline to harness magic. They often specialize in specific schools of magic, such as evocation or transmutation, allowing them to wield their chosen discipline with unparalleled precision. Wizards are respected members of magical society, revered for their wisdom and feared for their formidable powers. Despite their scholarly demeanor, many wizards are driven by a thirst for discovery and adventure, constantly seeking to push the boundaries of magical knowledge. In essence, the wizard is a sage and a spellcaster, wielding magic as a tool to unlock the mysteries of existence.

writing tip. let your characters lose in ways that matter. Let them lose in ways that can't be fixed. Give them permanent scars. Loved ones who will never come back. Mistakes they had every opportunity to avoid but still made, that will never get fixed. Let them feel guilty for things they actually did wrong, not just traumatic shit that happened to them that wasn't their fault. Let your characters lose for real. Your story will never have any real meaning beyond light entertainment if the audience knows you're too much of a coward to let your hero actually, really lose.

My problem with Wyll is that I don't really stick with positive characters, but he's very handsome and deserves more art

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.
