oc asks that reveal more than you think

Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?

Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?

Ask them to describe their love interest.

Do they look good in red?

Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.

Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?

Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

What age do they most want to be right now?

They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?

Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)?

Name one thing their parents taught them.

Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?

What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?

If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear?

Do they like children?

Kissing: tongue or no tongue?

Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?

What do they like that nobody else does?

What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?

Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?

Stability or novelty?

Honesty or charity?

Safety or possibility?

Talent or effort?

Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?

Would they date a fixer-upper?

What recurring dreams do they have?

What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

For me the golden combo for Gortash is:

He’s got to be mechanical in his logic towards people. Manipulating the masses, putting x emotion in to get x emotion out.

He’s got to be a consummate liar. Self explanatory.

He’s got to have a simmering undercurrent of shocking violence. But it’s not violence for the sake of loving it. It is a tool as anything else is, but he will use it without hesitation to get what he wants.

He’s got to use his language precisely but/and…

He has to have a level of camp. This guy is camp! A showman, a politician, a performer (wonder where he got that)

He’s got to be a polymath. The man is a neuroscientist, an engineer, a writer, an orator, a researcher, a theologian and historian, as well as a politician and tyrant. He has a myriad of skills and they all need to be firing.

He has to have a reason for anything he does. This is not a man of blind passions. Everything has a play. Everything.

And past that all is flavour to me. You can, I think, logically infer an aroace Gortash who is only motivated by his own rising star. Or a man who is carving up a world into ribbons for his alliance or indeed his love if he’s capable of love, or his legacy, which could be work or (ouch) children. He can actively making in his workshop, he can be personally kidnapping the people whose skull shavings he leaves on his desk. He can have a number of flavours but this is what is at the core to me.

fave Gortash line [and devnote] ever btw. this specific side of him is just so. chefs kiss to me.

the mock-friendliness. the threat. the sadism. the twisted, almost immature sense of humour.

the terrifyingly intelligent tyrant in his late forties with a black hole where his heart should be. with the emotional intelligence of a ten year old.

Dark Urge Asks 6th Edition

Number 12 please :)

From this ask list here!

12. What does their handwriting look like?

It tends to be on the messier side, and gets even more untidy when she is writing quickly or whilst under stress/upset; however it's still generally pretty legible despite this. Her handwriting is also fairly large, with the words written close together - and there isn't too much flourish to the letters themselves.

But here - via a mock-up in Photoshop, have a little bit of the Prayer for Forgiveness as a visual example of roughly how I imagine her writing style to be.

Thanks for the ask! <3

BALDUR'S GATE III (2023)

"Myrkul [compared to some gods, is autonomous] obeys no one but is influenced by Bhaal and Bane..."

I love this weird connection the Dead Three have with each other and how it never seems to go away completely. I don't think co-dependency is quite the word for it, but they're just utterly toxic for each other, keep fucking each other over, and somehow they keep coming back to this alliance. For some reason the opinion of the others holds sway!

Like Bane is... Bane. He thinks he doesn't need anybody and everyone is subservient to him! He's allergic to his own capacity to enjoy things or feel emotional attachments to people. He just fundamentally can't compute when he cares about someone. Why is he upset they're dead? Bane doesn't know! He also only got as far into the Time of Troubles as he did because he has Myrkul backing him up. He still kind of depends on the other two and at least once upon a time had respect for Bhaal.

Bhaal needs the other two to keep his murder hoboing in check, and they seem to be the only beings in the universe who can (or are permitted by Bhaal) to do so. Myrkul left him unsupervised for a week once and Bhaal ended up getting distracted trying to kill winged ponies and then got killed, ruining his and Myrkul's plan.

Myrkul, by all accounts, is shooting himself in the foot every time he agrees to work with these idiots and he keeps doing it. Some descriptions have assigned gods mortal-like feelings, wants and needs, so like, is he lonely or what? Myrkul's charisma is abysmal by mortal standards; by divine standards a landfill of rancid trash has more appeal (he spent the last stretch of the Time of Troubles in a sewer, talking to zombies and himself). Bhaal is basically his only friend in existence (Bane is... there. Myrkul doesn't exactly like him, and yet he still works with him.)

The last time these idiots cooperated Bane destroyed Bhaal's worshipper base and got himself killed and thus left Myrkul in a mess, then Bhaal got killed due to murderhoboing and left Myrkul even further in this mess, and somehow the 15th century rolled around and these three agreed to work together again. Working together worked so well last time! What is wrong with you.

#lol yes #myrkul in the time of troubles is a whole mood though XD #the dead three #bane #bhaal #myrkul
