My favourite bit of BG3 lore is that Withers is legitimately responsible for the Dead Three, but he's probably too embarrassed to tell you, so every time you ask him to elaborate he just gives you a very stern, "Noooo."
I also love that the reason he's responsible for their uprising is because he got bored. He literally got bored of his position as Lord of the Dead and wanted to retire, so when these three morally questionable humans came looking for godhood he was like, "Hmmm. Yes, okay. Here. Take my portfolios. Fight over them. I don't care. I quit."
So after bowling with skulls in a friendly competition to decide who would get what portfolio, they took up his powers and wreaked havoc on the world. Only at that moment did Jergal, AKA Withers, AKA our precious Bone Daddy think, "I'm just now, internally, asking myself, in quite a worried way, whether I might've made an error."
So he joins your merry band and watches your escapades, calmly twiddling his fingers while you clean up his mess. He's happy to offer his aid, even to the point that he'll bring Durge back to life if they reject Bhaal, even though he technically shouldn't. But he's Withers. The rules don't apply to him. If Ao doesn't like it, he can descend from the Heavens and say it to his rotting face.
And the reason he saves Durge isn't necessarily because he likes them or because he's a morally good entity (though one certainly could make that argument), but because he wants to add insult to injury. He steals Bhaal's child with a big smile on his face, dubs them his Chosen, and praises them for rejecting all the power they were promised. And of course, he still doesn't tell them who he is—or rather who he was.
Then, when all is said and done, he throws Tav and their companions a cute little party. No one knows it's probably half a thank you party and half a "Withers is bored again" party. And if anyone misbehaves, he'll get irritated and whisk them away. Because how dare they? He put a lot of work into that.
And at the end of it all, he walks up to a mural of the Dead Three and basically goes, "Lmao. Thou didst fuck around, and thou didst find out." Just savagely roasting them.
And then poof!
He waves them into non-existence.
Wanting to pet Grub so badly yet knowing that I have to respect his boundaries
You know how Orin was posing as that love test dryad how long do you think she was there for. How many people did she give relationship advice to. How many couples do you think she broke up.
me internally whenever astarion talks about the rite of profane ascension, knowing full well that i won't help him do it in the end:
This was funnier in my head
I felt bad for Alfira my first Durge run, but then I saved her in another and was reminded that she is, kinda, a bit annoying lmao
VOLO- WHEN I CATCH YOU VOLO-
I got lazy lmao this looks like ass- BUT SERIOUSLY VOLO??
I jus wanted to see what would happen but DAMN OKAY
Debating on whether or not I should go to my previous save or not- I mean- I can see invisible shi now but- HGGH

WYLL RAVENGARD | Baldur's Gate III (2023)
"Go."
— (Wyll)
.
couldn't stop thinking about his story. he was only 17. also thanks to wyll ive developed a fondness for painting satin and ruched fabric so there will probably be a lot more art of him in that
(twirling my hair around a finger) I dunno... just, like, them getting together before either even knows they have a chance to make their respective decisions. it's something to do—and effective stress relief. in real time astarion watches gale catch feelings for him and finds the whole thing terribly funny, how pathetic he is, how endearing... okay, so he likes him too, the way you can't help but like the runt in a litter of puppies, rooting for him against the world that's disadvantaged him.
it's astarion, first, who gets the chance to ascend, and it's gale's watery eyes and scuffed knees that talk him out of it, saying it's freedom astarion wants, not power, that he wants him as is, loves him as is, and doesn't want to see him corrupted. something something being reflected so fondly in another's eyes—how could astarion possibly go through with it?
so when gale finds out godhood is on the table—when he's actually considering it, astarion almost thinks it's a joke. where was the gale who spoke so reprovingly of power?
but gale's always had freedom, and it's power he wants. it's power he takes, when he becomes a god—and power he promises to share with astarion.
astarion resents him for it, a little bit, always. but even the proximity to gale's godly power is intoxicating, and how could he not stay, when he has nothing otherwise?
(whispers in ur ear) god gale x non-ascended astarion
🚨BG3 SPOILERS🚨
So I got my eyeball yanked out with an icepick by an eccentric yarn weaver with severe Dunning Kruegers, allowed a sadomasochistic acolyte of pain to wail a mace across my back, and decided to (pretend to) trust a goblin priestess enough to be alone with her and drink a sleeping potion she offered.
All of these really dumb decisions turned out to be beneficial. Thank you BG3, my wild magic tiefling is going to continue to be a very smart but absurdly reckless decision maker
Seeing ShadowHeart and Karlach break down after their personal quests were completed was so hard to watch. There needs to be an option to provide silent support through hugging them or putting a hand on their shoulder.
I always feel rude if I give my personal opinions on their choices and opt to stay silent. I wish I could do what I do IRL and show that I'm listening and understand by squeezing their hand or something 😢
Both Raphael and The Emperor come off a bit desperate but still
Very cool art, i like the duality ^^
And I chose the Selunite Shadowheart, that brought her some light.
There is no light without some shadow
Which path have you chosen ? Both are so interesting !
Beautiful Artwork ♡
Halsin's my first and only ever choice, I lost my heart to him. So unfortunately, I will never be friends with Minthara, although she seems to be a interesting character. Storywise, it makes totally sense that only one of them can survive, but I really can't kill the grove. Sooo, no Minthara for me, but well done art ♡
✨️See how they kneel to us? We are their protectors, their salvation, and we will rule them, together.✨️
Minthara/Halsin Oracle Card is ready, 8/? ! Which path did you choose? Did you romance any of them?
✨️Watch out, evil. None nap so powerfully as Boo!✨️
Work in progress! This card was supposed to be named The Legend/The Berserk, which do you think is better? 🤔
Do you have these legends of Baldur's Gate in your party? I personally have already had a run with Jaheira, but not with both of them together yet!
THAT’S IT,, IM GONNA START WRITING AGAIN,, AND THE FIRST THING IM WRITING IS HALSIN SMUT,, I DESIRE IT, I CRAVE IT,, I NEED IT
(I might also post my art,, who knows,, I’m indecisive)
