*wakes up in a cold sweat* obviously the guardian is an echo of the emperor's claim to being an adventurer bearing the burden of saving a wicked world..... (a pretense/a performance/an experiment to a means to an end)

but i can't stop laughing bc like. Tha. That's the emperor's OC. the dream visitor is his OC that he's shipping with tav. and let me tell you the fic is 300k

#I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT THIS #bg3 spoilers #he made a blorbo he knew you would like.... #btw imo the guardian has its own merits in the emperor's ties to humanity / he's puppeting it detached at some story beats yes but #there's definitely more to it. as someone who was also infected with a tadpole and has the trauma of that. #even if it doesn't feel like trauma anymore bc of how illithid processing works like.. he still has intelligent recognition of loss + #isolation etc etc so i definitely entertain the idea that TO SOME EXTENT the guardian does something for him too. #regardless of what you want to argue that 'smth' is its too extensive/cinematic. he could manipulated u in 1000 other ways. instead #he chose t-. 🤺 🤺🤺🤺🤺 hi 🤺🤺🤺🤺 i'm going now #🦑.txt #s: i am still dreaming of kissing your claws
