Yenna is like

and this is my family

a devil-celebrity, a warrior from the hells, a vampire, a cultist, an alien woman, the murderous son of a god, a wizard, a guy who is a bear 50% of the time, a bickering non-married couple, a pair of angelic lesbians and a skeleton man

#yenna #baldur's gate 3 #spoilers #dark urge #adult yenna being like wait a minute... what was going on back there... #i imagine adult yenna being like a prodigy adventurer because of her peculiar uprising especially if she stays with some of the characters #after the ending #i imagine wyll would insist the duke adopts her so she can have a title and then she learns magic from literally gale #cambion mizora even has a soft spot for her #18 years old yenna adventuring being like #hey have you met my family #how old is she 10? imagine her as an arcane trickster meeting druid arabella and thief warlock mol #and they are like time to help the family #and adventure left and right to find a solution for karlach heart and astarion sun condition

That time Clary was turned into a swan and needed true love's kiss

Magnus: "Jace, we have been here for half an hour now. Could you just give her a little peck on her beak already?" Jace, shaking: "Look, I'm trying, okay. Just… give me five more minutes." Alec: "Maybe we could leave her like this? She seems to be so much less trouble now." Swan Clary: bites Alec Alec: "Nevermind. She is annoying no matter what form."

#magnus bane #alec lightwood #shadowhunters tv #clary fairchild #jace herondale #Malec #clace #frenemies alec and clary #they will always be frenemies in my heart #just like magnus and jace will always be frenemies in my heart #they NEED to antagonize each other #it's the law #jace's duck phobia #clary was turned into a swan *for reasons* #she was probably rude to some warlock or whatever

Is this not exactly what happened

#adam warlock #gamora #marvel #guardians of the galaxy #art #I drew this in like 2020/21 along with a bunch of other dumb memes but this is the only one that made it out of the rough sketch stage lol #I figure I should just post it since it's been collecting dust in my drafts for two years. #I did go in and fix it a little but I'm resisting the urge to redraw everything and being SO brave about it #anyway. I think Adam should win somekinda shitty boyfriend award for breaking Gamora's heart like that. TWICE. #arguably thrice.

I do want to point out:

Ludinus knowing Laerryn's name is not, in and of itself, proof that he was alive during the Age of Arcanum.

Laerryn was on his list of "people to reach out to." But this document was in his home in Molaesmyr, a city he arrived in 500 years post-Divergence. Why would he keep that document, knowing that Laerryn fell with Avalir and that her body was irrecoverable? Why would it be pinned on his wall like it's important, over 500 years after Laerryn's death when speak with dead is off the table?

We know that Avalir itself is known about in present-day Exandria by esoteric scholars and specialists. Imahara Joe has a book that talked about it, so it's not like it's completely forgotten, and honestly, the entirety of the Ring of Brass were so involved with Avalir's internal politics and inner workings that there's no way their names weren't written down a hundred times over in various records, reports, and news clippings. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Ludinus was able to get ahold of this information, especially with Laerryn being so prominently involved with Avalir's most intricate arcane mechanics and experiments.

So I think that this list was of people Ludinus wanted to contact using the contact other plane spell. It reads as follows:

You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or some other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind. When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect. On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each question with one word, such as "yes," "no," "maybe," "never," "irrelevant," or "unclear" (if the entity doesn’t know the answer to the question). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the DM might instead offer a short phrase as an answer.

Personally, I think that Laerryn would most definitely count as "the spirit of a long-dead sage," as would most other pre-Calamity archmages (which I can only assume Vishtaron and Vatora were). The spell is on the wizard and warlock spell lists, so it's entirely within the realm of possibility for Ludinus -- plus, it even plays into his particular flavor of anti-theist magic, since it's essentially a non-divine version of commune.

#critical role #critical role spoilers #critical role c3 #critical role campaign 3 #note watches c3 #ludinus daleth #laerryn coramar seelie #exu calamity #yes I am 100% certain that speak with dead was not available to Ludinus in relation to Laerryn. #even without considering the fact that it's not on the wizard or warlock spell lists #Laerryn died in the heart of Avalir as it was engulphed in flames and leyline-altering magic #and as it was /plummeting to the ground as its engines failed/ #there's absolutely no way there was anything left of her body #let alone something whole enough to cast speak with dead on #but the fact that contact other plane is on the warlock spell list further enforces my theory #that Ludinus is a Great Old One warlock and not a wizard #but I digress

So… the God of Curiosity! How does he relate to the Lords of the Golden Hill? Is he invited in, is he seen as an interloper or usurper? Absolutely adore these two!

What a great question! I spent the morning refreshing myself on the Lords of the Golden Hills, which is the 5e gnomish pantheon, if anyone's unfamiliar. They are more active in the lives of their followers than other gods.

Also, sorry, this is where I reveal my superpower of being unable to write short answers to anything.

what's a god to a mayhew

Mayhew's parents are historians who take the name "the Forgotten Folk" as a personal insult, so he was weaned on myths and histories of the Lords of the Golden Hills. The Lords set Mayhew's expectations for what gods should be: invested and actively working to make things better.

(couldn't resist drawing mayhew and mamahew)

In game, Mayhew ran into many awful situations that he thinks good gods could have fixed, but didn't. Refugees slaughtered for sport, children locked in Cazador's dungeons for eternity, families enslaved and used as hostages, children murdered by Gortash's Steel Watch, you name it. These people surely prayed, but gods did not save them. Do gods who do nothing deserve worship?

Not to Mayhew. He was FULLY on board with Gale's astral boat scene logic of "we will be gods but BETTER because we CARE and DO STUFF." Mayhew is not a long-term thinker, especially if people are hurting right now, right in front of him. He sees only trees, never forests.

He views himself and Gale as being on their own side. All of his post-ascension decisions are based on them being an inseparable pair shaking up the system. He's not interested in being part of Lords of the Golden Hills.

what's a mayhew to a god

The Lords probably have mixed feelings about him. They would not invite him into their brotherhood. However, his goals often align with theirs, and as long as Mayhew didn't rock their boat too much, they'd be tenuous allies. More about Godhew and other gods under the cut!

Mayhew himself has many Glittergoldian qualities about him -- he's an elusive tale-teller and a sneak, and if you pried his coping mechanism sense of humor from him, he'd probably die on the spot -- so I think he'd get on with Garl Glittergold and Baervan Wildwanderer. Mayhew's not easily flustered, and he'd find it a hoot to be pranked by Garl, so I expect he'd pass any test of character Garl might run an upstart godling through.

Baravar Cloakshadow, god of illusions and deceptions, would be interesting. Mayhew is a born liar (deception is his second-highest skill after history) who cares deeply about protecting others, so on paper they're aligned. However, Baravar counts Mystra among his allies, so this alliance would be a strained one.

But the biggest reason Mayhew isn't interested in becoming a Lord of the Golden Hills? They're concerned primarily with the welfare of gnomes. As a god, Mayhew has broader designs than that.

a god for whom?

Mayhew cares about everyone, especially people who are unimportant. He was a latchkey kid who wandered all over the city from a very young age, poking his nose everywhere it shouldn't be and talking to people just to hear their stories. He probably even made friends with the sewer kobolds, despite historical bad blood between gnomes and kobolds. Most of the alliances Galehew make after ascension are Mayhew's doing. Gale is always grander and more powerful, but Mayhew is better-liked and better-loved by gods and mortals.

In particular, bleeding heart Mayhew is an ally and protector of children. Troublemakers, especially. The most common name he ends up being known by is the Children's God. In 5e, there doesn't actually seem to be a god FOR children, simply gods with "family" as part of their portfolio. To me, that reads as a god for parents. But Mayhew adores kids! In game, he looked out for all of them and spoiled them shamelessly via the barter menu. All the urchins got cash, clothing, trinkets, snacks, protective magical items, etc. He bought soup from Yenna every day. He gave Mattis 2000 gold (😭) for a key he never even used (😭)...and gave the amulet of greater health (😭)...and some grenades because all children should have a chance to make bad decisions...

To kids, he's like an imaginary friend who'll help you out of a tight spot, aid your capers, and shield you from terrors. When a child ages out of needing an imaginary friend, he's there as the God of Curiosity -- and what is curiosity without drive? Perhaps they'll follow their dreams in the footsteps of his partner, the God of Ambition. Completely unintentionally, Mayhew probably ensures the longevity of the Galerian religion this way.

Not all of Mayhew's ideals survive ascension, though he goes in with good intentions. He loses some of himself, but his love for people is the core of him. It doesn't change.

More Warlock Friederick Content.

[ID: a digital, fully colored drawing of Friederick, the artists OC. He's a gnome with light skin and dark hair in a braid. His eyes are completely black and his skin is partially bruised, he's scowling and blood is smeared over his teeth and a bit of his lip. Light blue elms fire is hovering over his head. /end ID]

#he definitely looks a lot scarier as a warlock #but he's still just. a bit of an awkward guy with a kind heart but also the desperate wish to be left alone. #friederick #dnd with the gays #and i do like working with light blue #it's my favourite just after orange #blood

Finally finished baldur's gate three..........

End game spoilers beneath the cut! 😭

OF COURSE I ENDED THE GAME WITH KARLACH

I've cried TWICE during this game, and they were both because of Karlach's damn dialogue - I am still emotional omg. There was no way Tav was leaving her like that on that pier.

it's very on brand for my character to leave behind two love interests for his best friend. honestly, a mood.

Jesus. KARLACH. I'm still not okay.

#bg3 spoilers #ahhhhHHH MY HEART #hoping for a little more content to come for Karlach at some point (yes ive been reading reddit and yes I agree that there is cut content) #in the meantime #happy with my tav's decision #if astarion wants for find him he's welcome #there's room for more #wyll too!! #(i play warlock so i didn't bring him with me..!) #halsin is busy being the father of a new generation omg

[jahiera]

at the grove with dark urge emrys and I have GOT to say. sticking to keeping her a paladin (of vengeance here) was such a moment. still getting all the flavor text as a paladin but having none of your memories might feel like a slight incoherence in the narrative to most but the idea of waking up and nothing but blood blood blood. and this deep in your bones knowledge that you swore an oath at some point in your past and you must adhere to it. sexy as fuck.

#durge!emrys is not her canon but it might have to be a little separate AU I hold tenderly to my heart #in her canon I'm giving her a few more levels in cleric than I originally intended too -- probably like three #so I'll give her a few in ... MAYBE warlock? for Durging. #I DONT KNOW what to do there yet I just like the dark mirror of it all. #because it's still very coherent with a lot of her main character ideas #it's like all that deeply repressed hate & rage is inside ripped right to the surface in this & must be worked through more purposefully #the hateful turn of her devotions & her vitriol .... #and of course. her faith. even uglier here. maybe she would like to be daddy's specialest boy but she'll turn away in the end #the pull between the urges and her oath. the ugliness of her spirit. all that is RIGHT here. #and she's even goth. #playing bg3 #oc. emrys #bg3 spoilers
