You were asking for bg3 asks so what is your favourite hc/fanon for each of the main 6? I’m super curious to know because I feel like everyone I’ve asked has has vastly different opinions
OOOH OKAY OKAY
Gale: I've talked about this before but Gale has some sort of arthritis or chronic joint pain that's been around since he was a kid, not just a product of old age (he's only like.. 30 something.. hes not THAT old)
Astarion: If there's an equivalent to Shakespeare or Edgar Allan Poe in Faerun, Astarion would be a HUGE nerd about it. He strikes me as the kind of guy to be really into theatrical drama.. He would love the tragedy of Macbeth... but its one of those secret interests he doesn't tell anyone about because its probably one of the few simpler things he can enjoy and he doesn't want it to be ruined in some way
Wyll: That missing eye probably causes a lot more problems than is displayed or talked about. Like bro definitely has SHIT depth perception. He's running into things all the time or not moving close enough to enemies so he ends up just like swinging his weapon in the air. Astarion makes fun of him for it
Shadowheart: The first person Shadowheart made friends with was Astarion. but it wasn't really like they were "friends" it was more like, they both have an equal level of sass and a general distain for most other people, so they have nightly shit-talk sessions together.
Lae'zel: She has an UNGODLY amount of knowledge about weapons and their forgery. She knows every advantage and disadvantage of using different types of swords and bows and how each of them is crafted. Every time she finds a new sword she spends at least 30 minuets analyzing it and finding every flaw in the craftsmanship.
Karlach: When she finally got that upgrade for her infernal engine and was able to make physical contact with people without burning them alive, She went around and hugged EVERYONE. Or if they wouldn't let her hug them, she at least gave them a firm handshake or a pat on the shoulder. With people like Wyll or Shadowheart, she picked them up and spun them around when she hugged them. And then found every excuse to show physical affection as she possibly could. It's her love language :)
y'ALL I'M IN TEARS OVER THIS FUCKING EPILOGUE. SOBBING LIKE A BITCH OVER HERE BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS. SCREAMING BECAUSE OF ALL THE OTHER THINGS. MY HUSBANDS. MY BABIES. MY HEART
