Enver Gortash - Blog Posts
I will always find it so funny that apparently according to Gortash, Bane approves of the alliance between him and Durge. Like Bhaal is losing his mind over it, whispering murderous thoughts to his chosen, being like “no, you will rule alone, we will betray him in the end, kill him!”
And Bane is just like, “Heheh :) they’re talking :) Gonna smush them together like dolls :)”
(I imagine Bane was just like “AYOOO????”)
Meanwhile Durge is just busy thinking about their girlfriend who just spit in Shar’s face.
gortmit :}
my game keeps on lagging everytime gortash is on screen so i've come to pitch an idea:
The Polygonal Gort™
Your average meeting of the Dead Three
I think I talked too much about just how grossly they kiss but did not make it clear enough. Right in front of Ketheric's salad, too.
Okay, so I'm not finished my dark urge playthrough yet, but I need to know. What was the dark urge to enver gortash? Like my guy just casually drops that they were one of his nearest and dearest. I can't be the only one reading too far into this. Did you fuck the durge, Gortash?
I know it’s been a few days but I need you to know how fucking funny it is that the first durgetash post after your Guy Interlude(tm) was Disney villain Gort 😂 Nothing could have been a more perfect return to regularly scheduled programming
(Also thank you for all your art and writing. Any time you release a new fic chapter it’s legitimately a highlight of my day <3)
(late reply cause I wanted to respond with this specifically lol)
RIGHT back to the schedule baby!
who would know your husband better than his evil ex that lives in your living room?
this is a comic about a little au ive got where after the netherbrain is handled, durge finds gortash's body and resurrects him to give him another chance and "fix him" like how dying made durge a better person.
gortash has no choice but to live with some weirdo wizard and his old friend who changed so much that enver can barely recognize him.

Tarot Card - "The Lovers"
meaning reversed: Self-love, disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values
Larian, you’re seriously telling me that Gortash doesn’t have time to kiss This
And you expect me to BELIEVE that?????
not now kitten daddy is too busy contemplating the minutia of death cult office politics to kiss
Little things I personally love to see in Durgetash ships (this is really just what I enjoy, not what I think needs to be there for it to be valid or anything)
Fearsexual Gortash. He’s gotta be a little worried for his life and horny about it. But also…
Conquestsexual Gortash. The idea of owning the thing he is afraid of? Very sexy to him. Definitely not indicative of…
Absolutely out of control parental issues. Leaning in heavy on his experiments with people on how far they would go for their children.
Durge having full blown religious crises over holding somebody’s hand with tenderness.
Fully taking the “I consent! But I don’t!” Meme energy into Bhaal being a constant present threat to their relationship.
Both of them having a truly monstrous streak. Even if they might be soft for each other, it never stops them being a nightmare for everybody else around them.
Both of them having complimentary but different genius, whatever that looks like. The surgeon and the engineer. The politician and the empathetic killer. The mechanic and the butcher. Whatever it is, they revel in sharing space as equally smart people.
Gortash having actual injuries from Durge. Maybe he actually needs that cane…
Durge having a really tender spot somewhere for Gortash that manifests in strange ways. What strange means can vary but I delight in a huge Dragonborn bringing him breakfast pastries as much as I delight in a cute Halfling leaving him body parts of patriars like a cat with a dead bird.
I've seen a lot of durgetash naysaying out in the wild and I just wanna say this.
Larian wouldn't have paid for Gortash to be animated two different ways in a number of his scenes if they wanted it to be ~up to interpretation~ if he and Durge were close or not.
I think that players can articulate the nature of that closeness for themselves, but make no mistake: Enver Gortash treasures the Dark Urge, and not for no reason. You were confidants. You had a cipher, just for the two of you. You knew each other for 10+ years (if the House of Wonders heist happens around the same time Karlach is sold).
Headcanon your Durge's sexual orientation however you wish. Headcanon their gender however you wish.
But closeness — even intimate, private closeness — takes many shapes. Whatever your preference, platonic or romantic or some third thing, Gortash and the Dark Urge were as close as two people can be.
And it killed them both.
I cannot take Gortash seriously for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that he has anime hair
Salami Bhaalivna is a simple creature
