RULES: post 5 songs associated with your OCs and 4 outfits they'd wear

i saw @bhaalsdeepbat doing the tag game and i wanna make one too i hope you dont mind 👉👈

huehuehue this is Chevrotain, my durge bard

they got fucking wormed half way through the game and became hard to look at so i changed their hair then they look half-decent (not as good looking as the default but still)

im gonna be sorta infodumping about their lore bc im insane for them

1. Bloody! Bloody! - Junie & TheHutFriends

so in my canon Chevrotain isnt the dark urge like the origin character but another bhaalspawn, theyre still a bhaalspawn though so their gameplay is still a durge playthrough and this song is so accurate to durge's storyline?? like

Ain't it funny how I scare myself sometimes

..You take his hand quite literally..

..I probably shouldn't have said that..

They said, the lady in red / Bloody! Bloody!

Durge being literally shocked at kicking the squirrel involuntarily?? / the Gale incident / durge saying freakish shit most of the time / literally Orin

this song is my number one go to when i think of Chevrotain 😭

2. Abbey - Mitski

i mentioned that Chevrotain is a cannibal 🥺 its funny bc they dont have any sense of taste, they also have a huge identity crisis thanks to Bhaal whispering to them on their "role" and they whole "you were created bc blah blah blah"

I am hungry I have been hungry I was born hungry What do I need? I am something I have been something I was born something What could I be?

the theme i like to go with them is "starvation", like being starved of fatherly love from Bhaal, being starved of their own identity, being starved of their own mind, being starved of a home.. so this song fits into it SO PERFECTLY

3. Our Word - 36 Questions, Jessie Shelton

GAH this song is so cool from the coolest musical i know (i only know like 6 musicals 🙃), its literally a musical podcast?? so cool.

anyways Chevrotain is a bard right, they usually manipulate people with their words, a lot of deception and persuasion bonuses, so they are a very deceitful and as a result they are a very distrusting person.

the song is about a girl who was raised to be a compulsive liar - when she accidentally broke her dad's ship in a bottle - her mom told her to lie to get out of trouble and it worked, so she kept lying and lying and lying to get herself out of situations.

the song ends with a near death experience, but all she can think in her dying moments is how her parents are going to lie about her existence just to avoid the hassle of dealing with her death.

And it's our word Yes, our word It's our word Yes, our word Against theirs

the thing about Chevrotain is that they cannot trust easily - and what they fear the most is that theyd be tricked the same way theyve been tricking others - its a constant for them and this song embodies it perfectly (･ω･)b

4. Animal Cannibal - Possibly in Michigan, Karen Skladany

haha cannibal mention

iconic song tbh, this one isnt as intricately tied to Chevrotain's character quirks in my mind as the others and its more of their whole vibe and sthick

Who knows how some people turn to strange ones Is it up to me to make them into dead ones? (Here we go again) I bite at the hand that feeds me Slap at the face that eats me Some kind of animal cannibal (Animal? Cannibal)

the tricking people into thinking theyre an unassuming bard even though theyre an experienced necromancer

and that they rebel against Bhaal pretty aggressively (well, as aggressive as you can when youre going against your literal God father without being punished by death 💀) such as never calling Bhaal as "father" pre-amnesia

5. The Milk Carton - Madilyn Mei

have i ever mentioned here that Chevrotain fell into the Feywild when they were around 9?

they were following a grinning cat named 'Alice Alice van Malice' who later became their guardian because fucking Ethel spotted baby Tain, took them in bc she realize that a bhaalspawn would make a strong hagspawn, since Alice didnt want to be responsible for a horrific fate of a child he decided to keep watch of them 😭

so this song is more to baby Tain's perspective, that they are now living in a stinky swamp in the Feywild and sleeping on a cold slab of stone instead of the cozy foster home they were in before..

I think I really miss my bed Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end? I had it good, I had it good And yet I left and can't retrace my steps Think I forgot a couple things My brain is still at home (Stop telling me all about your problems)

..but hey, at least theyre not dead!

Outfits/Style

Chevrotain's style is called classy and youthful in the DnD universe and timeline, but in todays world we call it grandmacore ❤

ok well it has a prince-like flare to it, the embroidery would be all silver bc one thing about Chevrotain is that theyre good at commiting to the bit, also the clothes beinf airy, flowy and puffy is important bc they dont like their clothes being skin tight bc they get uncomfortable easy.

its all billowy blouse + black pants combo bc its a classic and i love it SO MUCH, i eat this combo all the time everytime

im too shy to tag anyone else for this akdnsjnd anyone who wants to join in from seeing this post.. please tag me in it bc im nosy and i want to see ur Tav/Durge :3

writing patterns

Thank you for tagging me, @anderstrevelyan and @bhaalsdeepbat <3 I'm tagging @dragon--sage and whoever else publishes fics, my brain is blanking right now lol

Rules: list the first line(s) of your last 10 posted fics and see if there's a pattern!

I absolutely do not have 10 fics published so I'll include one that's near-ready, plus others that are finished but will likely never see the light of day 😂 (If you follow the links, mind the tags on the Durge ones please!)

From most recently written to oldest:

1. Phantasms (BG3, Gale x Lethe, WIP)

The electrum whistle, typically cold to the touch, had grown warm in their hands from their absentminded fondling.

2. There's Something in This Life Left to Live (BG3, Astarion x Aune)

Once upon a time we pressed against an unyielding tree trunk, just like this.

3. In Wicked Wonder (BG3, durge!Aune)

So wet, so sweet.

4. Second Thoughts (BG3, Astarion x durge!Aune)

The druid.

5. Ill at Ease (BG3, Astarion x durge!Aune)

Could she even know what long days were like if this was only the second she could ever remember living?

6. Kindred (I Knew You) (BG3, Astarion x durge!Aune)

Aune watched the purple-robed wizard intently as he fussed through some beached wooden crates.

7. Mar and Naserah (working title, DA:O, unfinished/indefinite hiatus, about my Surana's parents)

He could hear every creak of the wooden boards seconds before he took the step that issued it.

8. Preludes (working title, DA:O, unpublished, Cullen x Surana) (don't judge me. it was very toxic and full of mind games)

He knew he was ruined the moment he first laid eyes on her.

9. Freedom in Dreaming (DA:O, unfinished/indefinite hiatus, Surana longfic)

She knew she was taken when she was young; far younger than most mages are torn from their families.

---

One shy of the full ten! Patterns I can readily see: Introspective, focused on internal thoughts (like most of my writing is, so I'm not surprised); Sensory; Also apparently I like starting with incomplete sentences sometimes. 😂 (Annnnd it looks like I got away from the habit of starting the first sentence with a pronoun, which is great, I guess?)

---

Vixstarria's additional rule: see if you can arrange the lines into a semi-coherent crackfic.

I was gonna give it a try, but about twenty seconds in and my brain was like NOPE 💀
