When the doctor in the House of Healing is torturing that man, Astarion can have a line that’s along the lines of “he’s just like Cazador” and he says it with such venom and disgust and I wasn’t expecting it. When I say my heart broke.
Confession: I want to be in a Sharran Nurse Cuddle Pile No strings attached, just blankets and plushies and perhaps even a pillow fort if we’re feeling scandalous
After Illiamer had been resurrected by Withers, the former high priestess started to heal Mintharas mind. Every day for weeks she used up all of her magic to retrieve her memories. It was a tiring process that took a lot of energy, especially from Minthara. Because reclaiming decades of memories also meant remembering all the things that Orin had done to her.
do you mind? i'm very busy imagining spawn Astarion with the ability to polymorph into a bat and his darling druid tav who wildshapes into a raven both swooping through the golden and purple evening sky, ebony feathers gleaming in the setting sun, red eyes reflecting the first evening's stars, two winged creatures in love doing saltos and dancing in the clouds, falling down wings tucked in only to unfurl them mere inches before hitting the surface of the sea, causing the water to splash with the gusts of air from their wings, only for those falling droplets to reflect the sunset perfectly and create a magnificent rainbow that bat!astarion and raven!tav fly over - a rainbow bridge into a new tomorrow, a future free of worries, full of love and new possibilities.
then the sun sets, the stars come out and you watch a raven and a bat flutter off into the horizon, cawing and squeeking with glee. you don't know that these animals are soulmates in disguise, but something about the way they dance and zigzag through the purple skies tells you: they're in love.
So I just did the House of Healing and WHAT IN THE SWEET HELLS WAS THAT?! Some fucking silent hill shit, holy fuck. Even Astarion looked utterly HORRIFIED 😂 Gale was utterly appalled and referred to it as a nightmare. But it made my mind wander to what the aftermath of that day at camp would bring re: the romance between tav & gale, like seeing that many bodies and that much death and torture, how that would affect them all but specifically tav being the sort of "leader" and how Gale would deal with that, given he has expressed he wants her but that's where it stands right now.
Tbh if I could be fucked I'd write something for it but who knows, maybe it'll inspire someone lol.
Confession: I want the Sisters in the House of Healing to inject me with aphrodisiacs and pull me into an endless orgy involving decent amounts of bloodletting and their eeriily soft voices telling me they'll "make it all better"
