Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Doing some OC comparisons bc it’s what I do:

Fen needs to be wanted, and he won’t settle for less. He knows the value of his companionship, and understands what healthy love looks like. He doesn’t get angry or blame people if they’re not committed to him that way, he just knows how to not commit back.

Vesper needs to be needed. It matters a lot to him that he is objectively not replaceable, and that his value come from his actions and abilities. He doesn’t really understand the difference between needing someone and wanting them, he assumes you must want people you need and vice versa.

Cosmo wants to be wanted. He’ll settle for being needed, if that’s what keeps him in the group, and he tries very hard to be helpful because his value has historically come from how useful he is. But what he really desires is to know that he’s being kept around because people want him, not because they need him for something.

Dude I don't know ANYTHING about Bg3 but like. Just aesthetically? Emotionally? I think Cosmo and Shadowheart should be some sort of pair. Best friends, lovers, odd co-dependent queerplatonic partners, I dunno. They've both recently managed to free themselves from literal actual cults, like nature, and prefer peaceful solutions. I think they'd develop some kind of extremely dependent bond bc they've both lost their entire sense of purpose and have found one (1) other person who like... Gets It. Two very sad amnesiacs who I think deserve to be happy together.

#Truly all I know about BG3 is from absorbing info from other people #But aesthetically I feel like if you put them together they look like a set #cosmo tag

This sudden and unexplainable urge I keep getting to turn my masculine OCs feminine

#Vesper's a perfect little laydee now and I love her for that #And Cosmo's already nonbinary (He/they/it) #It would be so simple... so easy... (He/she/they/it)

Hmm, thinking about Pansa and Vesper <3

I mostly talk about fluffy domestic stuff or Vesper's personality and motivations. Hence, the action tends to kinda fall to the wayside. Still, Vesper's often away from the Citadel (oftentimes he's off planet entirely) handling field missions which can get really dangerous and physically demanding. Thankfully he's got plenty of tech and rations so he doesn't really have to use survivalist skills like hunting or making shelter from scratch, but military field work is still military field work at the end of the day.

That being established, back to fluffy domestic stuff lol: Vesper doing a lot of that real-life (dangerous) hard work is part of why Pansa likes him. Pansa adores spoiling his partners. If that's all he wanted, then he could find thousands of other partners easier to spoil. He and his mother have been presented with an uncountable number of letters and propositions for him to marry dukes, duchesses, princes and princesses, nobility and royalty of all varieties. All beautiful, all who would love being treated to the vast wealth of the Emperor of the ESR. Vesper's not exactly easy to lavish. He gets caught up in roles and ranking. Being the general is considered nobility in the ESR, but Vesper still perceives his role as that of a soldier rather than a bureaucrat. Someone with a lot of important responsibilities, but who will never really be worthy of luxury the way someone born into nobility is. He's a soldier, comes from nothing, one who gets his hands dirty and so would taint any pristine luxury not meant for him. So, he often resists. Insist that he's fine, and that he really doesn't need that much. He rarely asks for things that aren't essential. Hell, even Vesper's more comfortable clothes and pajamas are gifts from Pansa, because before he'd just wear the standard-issue military garments he's always worn. When he does get gifts he reacts reservedly and humbly, not showing off or calling attention to it.

And Pansa likes that about her. A noble partner would be easier to spoil, would show more outward delight at the gifts, but they'd rarely appreciate the value. At least in Pansa's opinion, it's just something they'd expect. He doesn't doubt that they'd appreciate it of course, but his gifts wouldn't be anything very impressive. For other silver-spooners, they'd be par for the course. Vesper is different.

Pansa likes that spoiling Vesper really means something to her. She knows the precious value of his gifts because she knows a life without wealth. He likes knowing that the grime on Vesper's skin is being washed away by expensive soaps, and that those creams and body butters Pansa insists he use are actually doing something for his rough and scarred skin. He likes presenting Vesper with a huge expensive meal after he returns home knowing that it's the first proper meal he's had in weeks. Likes knowing that when Vesper goes to sleep that night it'll be in a huge, plush, comfortable bed that's much larger than he needs, curled up like a little stray kitten that Pansa's brought in from the cold.

Her going out regularly on field missions does worry Pansa. He cares about her safety and will always be nervous about her getting hurt. But he also likes knowing that she's not going to get too used to constant wealth. Even when she could be handed everything on a shining golden platter, she's still determined to keep getting her hands dirty.

#Hhhhyeah this ones self indulgent sorry #Sometimes I joke that Vesper brings Pansa places bc she knows he'll buy her stuff #And that's true once they've been actually dating for a while!!! #But 99% of the time it's Pansa bringing Vesper to places that has stuff she wants so he has excuses to buy her things she won't ask for #vesper tag

I kinda thought I was over being embarrassed of my own OC posting given all of the insane shit I've put on the internet, but something about writing about Pansa and Vesper's dynamic really digs into my psyche until it hits the part of my brain that's a 14-year-old puritan.

#I'm referring to myself as a 14 yr old btw #I dunno I think that it's natural for kids to go a little over the top with their moral policing for a while #Bc they're kinda just learning about morality and activism in a more complex setting and also the internet is wild #But 20 year old me does not agree with her lol #Anyways I'm gonna post the thing bc I can do what I want lol #Oh the reason Vesper and Pansa do this to me is bc their relationship is (on paper) not super healthy #Just given how much power Pansa haves over Vesper and how much he likes that #But 1: vesper likes it too and 2: they are Not Real and I control how happy they both are lol

New completely irrational fear is that I’m gonna get a finger cut off by one of the cyber trucks

#Literally I’d never be anywhere near one of those things #But I keep seeing videos of the trunk closing on carrots and stuff and slicing them clean off #And it just gives me the heebie jeebies I’m so weirdly nervous about one of those trucks eating my finger

Sometimes I wonder how far away I can get from an OC with an AU before they’re just not the same character anymore.

…

…

…

AU where Vesper is a demon that conducts a space train, and all the stars in the sky are the souls of beings he’s made deals with

#I just think this is neat
