im taking a deal with raphael to free orpheus, i will probably regret it, but the emperor just gives me bad vibes and he wants me to become mind flayer so bad and i don't love that

#like i just keep thinking about the conversation you have it withers #where he says that illithids don't have souls #like would tav lose themself entirely if they became a mind flayer or even half illithid? #i feel like emperor is tricking them or trying to control them for constantly being like 'hey being a mindflayer is great you should try it' #no thank you dude #i'm like 80% sure if you go the half illithid route you will turn at some point in the game? maybe at the end #literally all sirius has wanted the whole game is to get rid of the parasite. he let auntie ethel have his eye and everything #BUT i don't trust raphael either #i don't want him to have the crown like i think that's a REALLY bad idea #but what happens if you dishonor the deal? #idk if i did the right thing at all this game stresses me tf out #💬 #bg3 ramblings #bg3 spoilers

my hottest bg3 take is that killing the entire goblin camp is also an evil choice so if you kill all the tieflings, kill all the druids, or kill all the goblins, some characters should react as if you did a fucked up thing.

#like i get the cult of the absolute is trying to take over the world with mind flayer parasites etc #but there's also kids in the goblin camp and it's also clear that lots of cultists are literally mind controlled #like to be clear i always play evil characters anyway so i am fine with killing them #but it feels like something the game should not just hand wave away given yk #the themes of the game

5 am time 2 post my sloppy doodles of my beloved weirdgirl from bg3

#all the text is just shit i threw on there to fill the space so confidently id say tht 1) #thats not what her signature would look like #and 2) #she's like. 26 or so #when i actually paint / color her i wanna give her laugh lines cause shes real smiley #ive plotted out her traits and flaws and ideals like a Real Dnd Character cause i rlly wanna run a game where i can jam her in as a npc #she's seen a lot and is ready 2 tussle #wants to make a name for herself and is undecided whether all this mind flayer shit is helping or harming tht goal. leaning towards helping #since its the most excitment she's seen in awhile #so she's pretty positive about the whole parasitic worm thing. to the dismay of her companions #idk #i wanna ramble abt her bc ive put a lot of thought into how she thinks and lives but i will run out of tags #maybe when i workshop it all a lil more i'll post the lil character sheet ive put together for her #for now i will leave u with the promise tht when i get futher along in my playthrough #i will be drawing prim x origin characters being in t4t gay poly love #oc: prim #dnd #bg3 #tiefling #oc #sketch

sol’rys does not rlly care abt fighting beside an embrace dark urge, whatever, anything to get the tadpole out even if you’re definitely sus, but he will complain abt siding with minthara and / or kar’niss. but he’ll follow anyway for the sake of his own survival and hope it doesn’t provoke lolth’s wrath by letting it slide.

#as far as he is concerned : #minathara: heretic . #kar’niss : abomination cursed by lolth . #at the end of the day tho . #he realizes he does actually want to survive . #he’s used to his input / feelings being irrelevant so he will ultimately go along with it if the other outcome is . #leaving the protection of the strange object and becoming an illithid or thrall . #anything is better than that . #he’ll just be very combative abt it . esp if you take mind flayer parasites .

Ohhh you have me thinking about Durgetash with a mind flayer Durge now (au where Gortash lives or where Durge ceremorphs earlier or etc idk). Any thoughts? I want to say that Gortash would still love them (because I’m not sure anything COULD change that, Gortash being Mr “This Changes Nothing” after all) but I also don’t think their relationship could be normal. Not that they ever had a normal relationship before lol but you know, even LESS normal. Or maybe he would be totally pragmatic about it and even a bit excited about the potential the way Minthara is?

I am... honestly just in general not fond of the mind flayer ending. The idea of my character turning into a squid thing just kinda icks me out, I don't like it. Also it annoys me that the mind flayer ending gives you that fun little thing in the epilogue about struggling to contain your desire to eat your friends' brains and all redemption Durge gets is Jaheira bothering them about children like an elderly relative, Larian had the weird and fucked up origin and gave someone else the weird and fucked up epilogue dialogue options, what's with that. Also illithid transformation involves the tadpole eating your brain so by all rights whoever transforms should be fully dead with anything left of their personality just being an echo of the host's and the fact that no one seems all that bothered by the fact that whoever transforms on a very real level might not be the same person feels like a major cop-out. And it makes no goddamn sense that it's even necessary because we know of a good mind flayer who would for sure be willing to help out, why even introduce this one and only truly good mind flayer in the game with Omeluum and then make a big deal of it being in Baldur's Gate with the Iron Throne rescue sequence if you can't so much as suggest asking it to help with the one situation in this game where what you really need is a good mind flayer? I think if you rescued it from the Iron Throne you should've been able to ask it to help with the brain instead of siding with the Emperor or transforming a party member, but even without actually being able to ask it it feels really dumb that you can't even raise the possibility of asking it. I can understand the half-illithid thing (that one I only refuse to do because the concept is icky to me personally) but the full mind flayer ending just feels really forced to me, I don't know.

Anyway. Gortash should be fully against it (because everyone should be fully against it because if you become a mind flayer the tadpole eats your goddamn brain and whether or not you're even the same person or just an echo is in fact a huge question that everyone should be asking), but I guess since Larian apparently forgot about that bit he'd probably accept it. Since if you're fucking a demigod of murder them having tentacles and wanting to specifically eat your brain instead of just kill you now probably wouldn't be a deal-breaker. I don't think he'd like it, though.

#bg3 #asks #anon #it's always weird to me when people get mad about some of the lis breaking up with you if you go full mind flayer #because the reasoning always seems to be 'ugh clearly they're just shallow and don't want me now that i'm not pretty' #it isn't that simple! #i mean babes it is entirely possible that 'you' are now an illithid parasite who only THINKS they're the same person due to stolen memories #also you now need to EAT BRAINS. that's not actually a small and easily-surmountable obstacle #and who knows if your maintaining of your mortal personality will last? most mind flayers don't keep their personality #i'd be a little iffy on this situation too! it's not all just 'waah they broke up with me for being ugly!'

I get why some Stranger Things fans didn't like the twist that Vecna was the real big bad all along and the Mind Flayer was basically just an extension of his will cause yeah it does kinda ruin the whole "incomprehensible eldritch abomination" vibe it gave off in the previous seasons. HOWEVER I personally enjoy how the writers decided to take the phrase "man-made horrors beyond our comprehension" and show that in the most literal way possible.

#in all seriousness i do like the idea that the demogorgons and mind flayer were neutral before mr creel came along and took control of them #cause he goes on and on about how humans are parasites that are destroying the natural order #but he himself is a human who ends up in another world and corrupts THEIR natural order #showing he's no better than the rest of us. i enjoy the irony there #i unironically love villains whose views are ALMOST understandable til you realize they're a giant hypocrite doing the very thing they hate #i made this cause i got recommended a season 5 theory video and ended up going down the rabbit hole just now lmao #stranger things #shut up tristan

Two goblin leaders down, one to go. Now if my Tav can just keep his party's fighter from killing the healer...

#baldur's gate 3 #calm the fuck down lae'zel #do i have to bring you to a deprogrammer? #bc you just assume that everyone is out to get the githyanki #and that shadowheart must have stolen the relic with gith runes on it #she doesn't even KNOW where she got it #plus it's helping our merry little band survive #and not turn into mind flayers #and yes once we get done with the goblin camp we can go look for your creche #but i don't think it's going to turn out well #every solution you've offered has been a violent one involving weapons and death #so i don't think that the solution to mind flayer parasites is going to be alien tech #unless the alien tech is a guillotine #just a hunch

I have joked with a few friends on discord an ironic idea that in Omes previous "life" / its host was an asshole mage that potentially willingly went to mind flayers in an attempt at a power grab, but then instead out of that whole thing came Ome instead

#MUN. ooc #mobile #( the whole thing with mind flayers and past life vs host is still a bit confusing #cause some remember some dont and then argument if its actually the old person or a parasite that ate its memories #in those few instances they exist #in omes case doesnt matter they dont have memories of host #but still an ironic joke idea )

I have some issues with the new season of stranger things, but I'm choosing to ignore all of them in favor of pointing out how funny it is that number one, who went on this whole rant about how strong he is or whatever, had his ass banished to the shadow realm by eleven when she was like eight, and keeps cringe failing at getting revenge

Like, how many times can you get bodied by the same middle schooler before you die of embarrassment

#imagine going on this long ass rant about how strong you are and how much better you are then everyone else #only to immediately get your ass handed to you by a child #idk i just feel like there's no coming back from that #also kinda sick of villains who are like #'oh well people are the real pest bc they throw off the balance of nature' cause im just like #why don't you eat some cookie dough ice cream and make some friends and maybe you'll calm down #also kinda upset that the mind flayer is Just Some Guy #i thought it was an interdimensional parasite that was going through and draining the life from each dimension #idk i just think that would have been way cooler :/ #stranger things 4 spoilers #stranger things 4 #stranger things spoilers #stranger things

Baldur's Gate 3 has wormed its way into my brain not unlike the parasites have done to my party.
