I can't find any concrete information on any of the main companions ages, but given that most headcanons put ages pretty close to each other, I might just make my own headcanon on the ages, just so that If age is mentioned in my comic I can be specific. This is me just going off from my own interpretation of interactions and supposed life experience. Please know I am not an expert and my opinion may be flawed, weeeh. I might miss vital information.

Astarion: 200+, immortal. it would be inconsistent to assume he was with Cazador exactly 200 years, it could've been 197 for example, or 202, we simply don't know the exact amount. The dates in the game and grave are unclear, some sources state Astarion is 350, while others say he is 239... I think Astarion would be the kind of guy who avoids giving you his exact age, either due insecurity or simply because he doesn't know anymore. Elves stop aging physically for a while around 20, so he might've been much older than 39 at death.

Gale: 30-35? I'm picking 34. He looks pretty young, 29 wouldn't be too far fetched? greying hair early is genetic. His speech pattern and expressed experience within life makes me think 33 or 34 is a safe bet. Tara and family keep urging him to have kids obsessively, so mid thirties makes sense.

Karlach: 28-32 Suppose 29 fits best. Karlach mentions she was ''a kid'' when she was given to Zariel, so she was either 18-19 when she worked for Gortash, and she focally expresses her pent-up ness with her sexuality in the hells, I think she must've at least have had some relationship experiences in Baldur's gate before Gortash ruined her life. She was enslaved by Zariel for 10 years.

Lae'zel: 24. Stat! Most folks say She's 20-22, but I think 24 would be closer. She's young, but also somewhat more experienced in life. As for social situations and awkwardness, that may be more a cultural difference, in her culture kids get trained from a really young age. They kill each other as a culling too, so not much of a childhood to go on there.

Shadowheart: 48-50 I'm sticking to 48. As a half-elf, her appearance stops aging beyond 20 for a while, she sounds more experienced in life, but often lacks memory to fill in the gaps to why. Which explains some of her behavior and interactions with other characters. She comes off both young / older at times due this. If you look at her mother and father's appearances, I'd say 10 year old Shadowheart was stolen by Shar's cult. So her mother must've been stuck there for about 30+ years. If her mother was 30 when shadowheart was 10, then she would be in her sixties, which matches her appearance. But this is just my guess. Wyll: 24-35 Oh? I think he's 29 tbh. From what I've seen, Wyll had the widest range of age guesses from others. People put him either close to Gale's age, or much closer to Lae'zel's guessed age. I think he's closer to Karlach's age, so I'm sticking with that. Wyll has a lot of life experience- he's been super busy, but he's mostly been on his own since 17. It's not super clear to me for when Wyll went out as blade of frontiers if he had made much friends on the road- I think he just went from place to place or wherever Mizora sent him to, so he didn't stick around anywhere for too long? He's socially confident, but not used to being around a variety of personalities for too long maybe? He tries to see the good in everyone because that's his default. He's a good guy! But he's also nuanced as a monster hunter. (Else Astarion would be dead the second he joins, lol.) Edit: Wyll is confirmed to be 24! He became a warlock at 17, and his origin intro mentions he was exiled 7 years ago, which means he's 24 during the start of the game.

Halsin, Jaheira's Minthara's and Minsc ages are pretty much confirmed, all being older than the main companions. Minsc is a bit of an odd case, given that he gets frozen in stone(?) Every once in a while so he can come back. Jaheira mentions that he does not mentally process that the world around him changes, he thinks people don't change as a result. Minthara's life experience has been influenced by with her culture, but she also mentions she's been around for a WHILE, same as Halsin. Halsin is not super familiar with city life, which surprised me personally. Druid been around for a while but cities ain't for him.

Honestly there's no one I'd rather be on a forced saving-the-world road trip with than the origins gang. Sorry kotor companions sorry bg3 companions but no one does it like the origins gang. They are a family they are insane they are not to be fucked with they never would have been friends if they were given a choice in the matter. The perfect road trip squad.

They consist of the best dog in thedas, the worlds most royal himbo, a demi-god shapeshifting witch, a bisexual assassin nun, a bisexual assassin orphan, a powerful spell-slinging grandma living on borrowed time (who is bffs with a spirit), a giant spy man who doesn't know how to function by himself, the worlds grossest dwarf, and a giant statue that has a life goal to kill all birds.

#dragon age #dragon age origins #barkspawn #alistair theirin #morrigan #leliana #zevran arainai #wynne dragon age #sten #oghren #shale #i just want to travel with them ok #i realize none of what I said about their dynamic is something kotor/bg3 companions lack #there's just something about the origins group that makes them especially compelling to me #maybe it's the setting idk #the fact everything around them is dreary and grey #they're like all just trying to hard to simply eek by #and if none of them ever met each other they'd all still be nobodies #and they hate each other and they need each other and they love each other

hugs

thinking of the tightest hugs possible, ones that start so slow and hesitant with arms slowly circling around before they get tight, burying their head in the crook of the neck to hide the betraying emotions behind eyes screwed shut, perhaps flirting with the idea of a kiss on the cheek, fingers digging into the shoulders and where they meet the back to hold on as if it feels like the last time, a forlorn grimace when one pulls away because it wasn’t enough time to savor the feel/touch of another, interlocking fingers when you pull away as if it’s still enough (it’s not)

Lae'zel: "then I have not sinned against Vlaakith. She has sinned against me."

Wyll: "the only thing a god's ever given me is a cold shoulder."

Astarion: "I prayed to all the gods. They never answered."

Can I just say... this has healed the permanent psychic damage that I suffered from playing "Dragons : The Catholic Church The Video Game" where I was told 500 times I am the messiah of a god I do not believe in and I was forced to work for their religious institution and I was given one single option in the end to say I do not believe in gods.

I know, it's a comparison post... whatever, I don't care.

Fuck yeah strictly anti-religion storylines that absolutely cannot be interpreted in any other way!! It does not leave it to your interpretation because fuck them gods! And fuck them religious brainwashing institutions!

there're all those posts and polls going around comparing the tadpole team to the kirkwall crew and like. we still haven't asked the most obvious question:

#why would you pit two bad bitches against each other? they would have gay sex #hard-pressed tho to think of a matchup where the kirkwall companion wouldn't utterly annihilate their counterpart 🤔#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #da2 #dragon age 2 #halsin #hawke #my post

Zevran & Astarion Banter Pt. 15/?

Double post kind of day, it seems. Got hit with that inspiration out of nowhere. 💙

[First] [Prev] [Next]

...

Zevran: Astarion, my love.

Astarion: Yes, darling?

Zevran: You are staring again.

Astarion: Yes, I am.

Zevran: And smiling! Positively beaming, as a matter of fact.

Astarion: Mm-hmm...

Zevran: Haha! So much for subtlety then?

Astarion: Hard to be subtle after last night. You were wonderful. We were wonderful together. As if I expected anything less.

Zevran: I must say, it was quite different than what I have grown accustomed to. In a good way, I mean. A lot more emotions and vulnerability involved.

Astarion: And a lot of generosity from you.

Zevran: *laughs* Yes, that too, of course.

Astarion: Don't laugh. *smiles wider, leans in closer, and lowers his voice* You really seemed to enjoy that.

Zevran: Well, you have so much to celebrate as of late. I wanted there to be no doubt that it was your night, and I was more than happy to indulge you. Why? Does that surprise you?

Astarion: I don't know. Maybe? I am simply unused to having the attention centered on me in such a way.

Zevran: Then, what a shame that is. You are certainly one worthy of worship.

Astarion: Careful with what you say, love, or I might have to tie you up and keep you all to myself.

Zevran: Don't threaten me with a good time, or do, actually. You'll hear no complaints out of me. Although, now that you mention it, do you think Tav will notice if some of their precious rope supply goes missing?

Astarion: We could always help ourselves to a little sample and see. Seriously though, last night was— Well, it was special to me.

Zevran: It was special to me, too, my dear. Have no doubt about it.

#baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #zevran #zevran arainai #zevstarion #bluerose headcanons #bluerose writes #crossover ship #these two are like 1000 and 1 ways on how to say i love you #without saying i love you #also not mentioned is the companions in the background #gagging at these two being all lovey dovey #dragon age #dragon age origins

Me 6 years ago: Babying a fruity, deeply traumatised man who deals and masks his trauma with humour and sarcasm. Has problematic views of racism and pro-slavery flavour. (Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age: Inquisiton)

Me now: Babying a fruity, deeply traumatised man who deals and masks his trauma with humour and sarcasm. Has problematic views of racism and pro-slavery flavour. (Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3)

#Last time I was on tumblr there was no DA4 out #I'm back on tumblr and there's still no DA4 out #Dorian Pavus #Astarion #bg3 #dragon age #dai #dragon age: inquisition #baldur's gate 3 #You can trace my fav type of a character as a traumatised person dealing with jokes to the very beginning #What does it say about me? Exactly what it seems #astarion my beloved #You lil' bloodthirsty babygirl you #Dorian Pavus the only companion that made me play a male character in whole DA series #His power is truly unmatched #DA4 this year for the 10th anniversary I believe in it #It makes me feel almost as old as the realisation that I opened this tumblr when I was 14 #2011 was truly a year

Things I know about BG3:

- almost nothing except basic DnD combat&characters knowledge, and I tried to avoid spoilers

- karlach x wyll is a ship the fandom is sleeping on

yeah, couldn't keep my hands to myself and checked out their story and how are people missing out on them? Oh, well, at the very least they are amazing BFFs, have personal stories very much tied to each other, and have great dynamic between the two. I am just choosing to see all of that through the shipping glasses, but lemme tell you, they enhance the show a lot

#they are great for each other i love them)#wish there was an option is games with companions to play the matchmaker pfff #though picking a character to play yourself is not the worst option to see that happen too thanks larian #tbh more rpgs need an option to just play As companion it's so cool #much better than custom nobodies the writers need to Try to account for #plus larian are much better at mechanics than they are at characters to be honest #not to say what I've seen is bad more like I was kinda hoping for dragon age kind of companion interactions between each others #but that is clearly not the case for bg3 and thats okay #still means i have a craving for party rpg with character interactions but oh well #(guardians of the galaxy are Looking at me now...feel like its going to be my new years holidays game)#for now I need to focus on dmc5 I Will beat SoS at the very least #bg3 #karlach #bg3 karlach #wyll ravengard #bg3 wyll #karlach x wyll #wyllach

I’m still yet to determine my third companion to my Baulders Gate “Slut Crew” as I call it. This crew is made up of my fave characters or my favourite chaos combo of people who could and would end up in jail on a night out together for one reason or another.

Like DAO was Alistair Lelianna and Zevran

DA2 was Isabella Varric and Anders

DAI was Dorian Bull and Varric (again)

But BG3 I just got Astarion and Karlach

Currently Wyll is in the hotswappable seat of whichever companion I need to swap out for whatever reason.

And poor Gale is still level 1 because I’ve never taken him out (I’m level 6). Maybe he is my missing link. He does give me Anders vibes.

The BG3 companions have the same energy to the DA2 companions to me. All emotionally resonate in a real and flawed way, and lovable (and/or hateable) for that. Beaten down and abused by the systems or relationships they were chained to. To the extent they either grow past their pain and anger to forge a healing path ahead or let it define them enough that they lose all perspective and blow their chance for growth (in the story). The messy queer and polam vibes may just be how I play both games, but that's there too.

However, while I think BG3's characters are inspired by DA2's, I don't think there's any 1 to 1 comparisons. Elves and orb contemplating mages are a staple of the fantasy genre; and Fenris, Astarion, Gale, and Anders are different enough that saying they're the same does all characters an injustice (imo). Fenris's slavery allegory is tied to colonialist power structures, for example, and there's a reason his skin is dark. While Astarion's slavery allegory is much closer to commentary on a criminal underground of sex slavery. Which makes sense with the vampire allegory too, because vampires (as a horror monster) often reflect anxieties around sex and sexuality. Nor are Fenris and Astarion like each other at all, they're very different people. If anything Astarion is more like Isabela. What with her deflective flirty humor masking a pain that's related to her being a 'beautiful prize' that was forced into a marriage at a (too) young age to a violent and possessive man that objectified, used, and tortured her, a criminal life of hurting others pushed onto her and it being all she now knows and accepts...

Hmm, maybe there are some comparisons to be made actually... 😅

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #baldur’s gate 3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #da2 #dragon age 2 #fenris da2 #isabela da2 #navel gazing #i kid i kid #astarion and isabela are different too but they're more alike than fenris and astarion #i'd even say fenris and anders are more alike than either of them are to astarion or gale #because fenris and anders purposely mirror each other #(gods i'm so insufferably an english lit major 😶‍🌫️)#if i make a parallel between fenris and a bg3 companion it's him and shadowheart #the broody amnesia of it all #whereas gale and anders are admittedly fragile blinkered magic boys who could blow up #but i think gale has more in common with alistair from dao personally

seems like so far the #1 enemy of the bg3 modding community has been... *checks note* age. just like... any signs of age whatsoever.

#bg3 #bg3 mods #fandom critical(?)#modder critical #when i started seeing these i tried to give people the benefit of the doubt #because i remember when i was in my late teens and early 20s the concept of being past my 30s/40s/etc felt so far away #and therefore people in those other age ranges seemed to exist in a different world from mine with different life experiences #and back then i would have created ocs that felt and looked as young as i was #and maybe would have felt uneasy romancing a character who seemed to have a large age gap with my oc since that's not my personal preferenc #and maybe SOME of the modders doing this are young and have similar reasons?#so i Sorta. Kinda. understand that thought process.#but i'm skeptical and would bet most of them are actually just adults who cannot handle age. period.#not to mention we're at the point where mods try to de-age npcs for no reason or straight-up ''''yassify'''' companions #or deprive them of their unique physical traits #and that's just. so frustrating and borderline gross.#let the characters in this game exist as they are. they have LIVED and they look like it!!!! that is good and their world is richer for it!#btw i'm talking about age and cosmetic changes exclusively. i'm not even including the racist whitewashing mods in this discussion because #those can go fuck themselves and i hope it goes without saying they deserve no benefit of the doubt. like zero #anyway. rant over for now #auri rambles

joy the evil durge who recruited everyone in the party because they really wanted to see someone explode into a mindflayer. alas, life is full of disappointments

#bg3 #the dark urge #durge #oc: joy #my art #they're very indulgent with their companions so they'll stick around so they can see a fucked up transformation #eventually though they get attached to them though. but in a middle aged woman with her spoiled dog way

I've only had Scratch for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this camp and then myself.

#thea plays bg3 #such a good boooooy :')#i really wish i could post more about bg3 aside from fluffy companions but I'm honestly just #too overwhelmed by it #it's so insanely good so far #it feels like playing mass effect or dragon age for the first time #perfect comfort game
