Bhaal sisters doing Bhaal things~ (with my custom female Durge) + also big hugs to Larian studios winning the award~
I did like previous Minthara’s short hair look, but this one kills it as well :>
One with nature~
Hoping for a warm spring, it is so cold here in Russia Q_Q
SMILE AND PAIN WILL FADE AWAY~
It’s been a long time since I drew smth, I dunno how to survive these years ahead ( ╥ω╥ ) Hope Alfira will bring joy to us all~
Thanks to NexusMods ( https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/85?tab=images ) I can finally make a freckled little witchy wizard (also hope for a druid class in the future I wanna be a druid~) (⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃
Some scrappy tarot style art of my char and Astarion~ It came out not as well as I’ve imagined, but I hope this will do
You know, this little pouty expression is so cute (´,,•ω•,,)♡
I CANNOT DECIDE HE IS A FLIRTY BITCH, BUT ALSO DANGEROUS, BUT ALSO HANDSOME....HELP
JESUS, THAT SEDUCTIVE SMILE
I’m hyped for Baldur’s Gate 3 don’t mind me~ (I have eyes for Astarion and Shadowheart)
BG3 X RE8
treasure item: crystal Astarion
RE8 X BG3 🦇Karlach Dimitrescu & 🐴Astarion Heisenberg
Decided to play the original Baldur's Gate and while playing I noticed the in game year is 1368, so I got scared and looked up when Astarion was born, 1229... He was 139...
Astarion was under Cazador's control during the original BG game!
ASTARION NOOOOO
made an astarion playlist with songs that actually remind me of him because i'm mentally ill about this man
i want to write a fic for him inspired by disintegration (the cure) so bad </3
wizard question: are the undead minions subject to labor laws?
haven't paid mine since like ever and they ain't had a smoke break in centuries
we need to start writing astarion fanfics like geronimo stilton books
writing dialogue for Astarion in like a normal text editor is very difficult actually because it feels like all his dialogue should be created with WordArt
Baldur's Gate fanartists will draw Astarion like a renaissance painting and Wyll like the cover of an adventure novel and Gale like a Leyendecker drawing and Karlach like the cover of a trashy romance novel (where she is the beefy hunk and her love interest is the swooning maiden) and Lae'zel like a knight in a manuscript and Shadowheart and Minthara like the cover of a lesbian pulp novel and Halsin coming out of a lake like the bear equivalent of the Birth of Venus and they're all so right
gortmit :}
I think ascended astarion is very Phantom of the Opera coded imo
Him in game :} tho in the first pic he's already been Volotomized™
Been meaning to do a pre and post chaos Mayhem and I like to think he used to be a Chaotic Good and evolved to just a chaotic neutral.
Dude was just a little bard who wanted peace and now he's just tired.

i feel like this needs a context because i've been obsessed with astarion since the first teasers of his appearance, so obviously i've been romancing him. cut to yesterday gale calls me anD FUCKING BLOWS MY HEART INTO A BAZILLION PIECES AND MAKES ME FALL IN LOVE IMMEDIATELY AAAAAAUGUGUGHHHHHHHH
i'm fine
okay, lemme go on a tiny rant here that might piss some people off..
I’m a tad bit annoyed at the way pronouns for Tav are used in the BG3 fandom, because the more I look through BG3 related posts that mention Tav, it’s just like IMMEDIATELY assumed that Tav is female and therefore most of the time, Tav is referred to with she/her pronouns and it’s just like HUH??
you guys do realize, that men and nonbinary folks play this game, right? and that the concept of Tav IN ITSELF basically means “player insert of no specific gender that lets the player choose which pronouns and name are used for them”
and you just assume, that everyone has a female Tav?? What??
it’s just really frustrating to me, that we have this character in the fandom that is BY ALL MEANS entirely unspecified in basically ALL DETAILS apart from the fact that they go through the story of BG3, in however shape or form they may do that
maybe only I personally am pissed off by this, since I’m a person that only uses they/them and he/him pronouns and gets pretty strong dysphoria from imagining myself as female, but I’ve noticed that I’m not the only non female person that gets annoyed at this
sure, if the author of, for instance a fanfic, clarifies, that Tav is specifically female in the scenario that they wrote, then I (and everyone else that feels this way) don’t have any right to complain about that, it was specified
but very often, the she/her pronouns and all kinds of feminine features are just randomly thrown at the reader, without the gender of Tav ever being discussed before and that just frustrates me
I’m not saying that I have anything against people writing fanfic or scenarios with a female Tav in mind, but it would just be nice if they could clarify that in the description of it, before I go and read it only to be disappointed by the fact that they were writing about a female/afab Tav the entire time
yeah sorry this became really long, but it’s just something I’ve noticed recently and it’s been annoying me quite a bit, so here you go
again, I don’t mean any disrespect towards any writer, I just personally think that it would be way easier to either 1. just use they/them pronouns for Tav or 2. specify the gender of Tav in the description of the fanfic beforehand
I‘m sooo normal (feral) about them
The thing that Baldur's Gate got right is that each companion is both extremely cool, tempered with an appropriate dose of cringe.
Gale is a powerful wizard. He uses the phrase 'pish posh' unironically.
Lae'zel is a badass. She asks you to fight her and then gets emotional because you're fighting even though that was her idea.
Karlach. Badass. But we've all seen her idle dance moves.
Wyll is this swashbuckling vigilante and he has a pose he does whenever he says his own superhero name.
Shadowheart. Dark backstory, still striving so hard for the light. Makes a joke about poisonous flowers that falls incredibly flat.
Astarion. Capable rogue and a dangerous vampire. He practises his one-liners ahead of time. Within earshot of the people he wants to use them on.
I can’t believe I have to make a post like this but here it goes. There’s this person, rokonrrc2, who reblogs Baldur’s Gate 3 fanart and puts in their reblog a link that says “Learn More”.
DO NOT CLICK IT!!!!
It will put viruses on your device like it did mine.
I tried to report their blog but Tumblr has made it near impossible for me to be able to explain the situation without it seeming minor so if anyone else wants to try getting them taken down be my guest
Here’s a link to their page if you want to block them https://www.tumblr.com/rokonrrc2
Please be safe out there. I was exhausted from work and wasn’t thinking straight when I clicked on this link but who knows what impressionable young person could fall victim to this. Now I have viruses I gotta deal with
"We don't have to do anything, we can just be"
When i realized Karlach x Astarion is a valid ship i went FERAL
I was worried that their frustrations/trauma could make things impossible for them, but they're actually soooo sweet together ><
I'm adding lineart vers too, bc i like how it shows a bit more brushwork :>
It's available on my shop!
(20% off rn! GO GET IT)
Ugh i couldn't watch stream live, so i'm waiting for HighRollersDnd to upload it :"") Here, have a little sketch of our Little Star, meanwhile i think i'll draw out some things from streams...
I was just finishing that as i learned that Larian changed His Majesty model... Like why, he was perfect as a sphynx cat :<
Well, this could be also a Steelclaw... Both of them would definitely find a place in Astarion's heart 🐱💖
