Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈 @cicidivine.bsky.social blessed me with an incredibly cute Pride Cookie YCH of Gwyn Art by the lovely @israfela1.bsky.social #TavOC #BG3 #artc0mm #bg3queer #Gwyndolyn

#BG3 #tavstarion #Astarion #Wyll #Gale #Halsin #Galemancers #Shadowheart #BG3vp #Karlach #Minthara #bg3events #Galemancer #Laezel I want to thank you because I get 400 followers! 😍 So it's time for a giveaway! 🥰 Every couple and OC are welcome.❤️ My portfolio of commissions: shorturl.at/5Gzoq

Realised it's pride and I don't have any of my labels on my profile... and that once again all of my existence is wibbly wobbly so I don't even know which terms I'm using again 😂

#BG3Pride2025 #TavQOTD Gwyndolyn is demiromantic. She's had many lovers but fewer emotional connections to even desire something romantic. It's not something she even considers for herself, which makes it all the more of a surprise when she falls for a certain elf. #Gwyndolyn #DaggerCharm

I started writing again and fell in love with it. I was in a creative slump until I made Bella and suddenly I had all this lore. People even trust me with their own OCs and I never take it for granted. I also gained some amazing friendships, I don't know what I'd do without you all. Thank you. ❤️

I'm being so serious when I say my tav saved my life. My mental state went to absolute shit after I graduated high school and I stopped doing literally everything, I gave up on art and I just rotted for 9 years. Then I found my tumors and just totally gave up, I wasn't even going to try to get help

#tavqotd i have gained back my passion for writing, through poetry and one shots (posted and non) Iris gave me back my creative spark. Through each of them, I have worked through my mental health at great lengths and been able to recognize my flaws and where I need help but also my strengths ♥️💜🤍💚

I didn't think I had anything for this one, but I just remembered that I basically made my new bff because of our mutual love for Baldur's Gate 3. I moved to a new state in 2019 and had not made any lasting friendships up until she and I bonded over BG3, so for that I am very grateful.

#tavqotd My writing! I’d never written a fanfic before even though I’ve read hundreds. Malis inspired me to write my first ever fanfiction all about her BG3 journey. It ended up being almost 300k words 😆😆 which is like a 750 page book. I loved the experience so much, I’m on my second fic! 🥰

I like to pass this story around every so often. It's written by @instinctivecharm.bsky.social It means so much to me. It's an important part of bloodlust lore.

Exploring parts of myself by giving them to my tavs and watching how they worked through those situations has been effectively therapeutic. It helped me frame my life in a way that allows me to thrive and express myself without sacrificing my privacy anymore. It's been important. A lot has changed.

#TAVQOTD i joined this fandom because initially i needed people to yap about my carnal desire for gort and durge lore with and even with the minimal interaction it was still an absolute hellhole to be in - however i'd go through it all again just to meet @thrawns-lawyer.bsky.social

A simple gesture and the beginning of more 🩵💜 An absolutely breathtaking comm by @kamuizzy.neocities.org brought to you by the wonderful and amazing @cicidivine.bsky.social 🥹🩵 #NightMelody #Elizabeth #tav #Shadowheart #BaldursGate3 #art #bg3art

#TavQOTD I got serious about learning digital painting! I'd sort of toyed with it on and off for a few years but I dug in hard and even participated in a Big Bang as an artist for the first time ever!

I think for me its definitely having met so many kind, lovely people and getting inspired to write and draw and create lore again in a cozy little safe space again 🥹💗

Can I see everyone's pookies? Tell me something about them. I want to gush about all your lovely OCs.

Honestly it’s just been nice making a character again and talking to people abt them, making new friends and stuff while we play with our barbies

#TavQotD being able to overcome the panic attacks I got whenever I opened Visual Studio. (If you know, you know.)

#TavQoTD Thanks to Tavitha i started writing and drawing again. More importantly, i learned how to do 3D art and animation because of them. i owe them quite a lot for giving me the ability to create once more. i am so very thankful for my evil durge 💜

#tavqotd Gideon is the reason I came out as non-binary. Hadn't it been for him, I would probably still try to fit into a box that wasn't mine to begin with. I've since taken the steps to live like my authentic self and accept who I am. Because of Gideon, I finally feel complete. 🥹💜

Vithka gave me space to explore liking girls Love you Vithy 💕

Started drawing again. Actually writing a little again. Remembered why I like making characters, continued to work through some of my personal bullshit through Juniper (and Wynnd, and Cinder)

#tavqotd I hardly know where to start… BG3 gave me my writing back. I hadn’t written creatively in years. I feel immense gratitude for this. I’ve made amazing friendships. I’ve dipped my toe into vp. I’ve gotten so much amazing art from the incredible creatives in this fandom. 💖 to you all 🫶🫶🫶

#tavqotd I met amazing people, felt more comfortable making nsfw art, and I feel more creative and happier to create.

#TavQotD I started drawing again, writing again and found some amazing friends. All because of one long alien and his vice grip on my brain.

I’ve become more open about my sexual dysfunction, oddly enough. Mint has some in part due to her trauma and I have it genetically. But having her share her trauma and still feel whole with the help of friends made me realize I’ve done the same. I love my friends 🥺 #tavmint

#tavqotd done: bought self-indulgent oc/canon comms for the first time ever. getting over the internalized cringe was hard but i love supporting other artists ; 3; learned: how to paint! purely so i could better depict my squishy & their beloved lol gained: more joy than i've had in years 🦑💕

#Tavqotd Ares has pretty much elevated my character writing. Crafting his backstory from the few little details I jotted down on a whim because of the things I'd chosen for my own self insert run, and turning him into his own dude, has really helped all of my writing in general!!

#TavQOTD i got back into writing!! wrote a full novel length fic for rue in ~a year. met so many lovely people<3 had the confidence to participate in and host fan events!! also the usual, art improved, writing improved, allowed myself to be silly and "cringe" about rue

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Something positive from your OC This one is pretty personal but I guess pride month is the perfect time for it. Before Elorin I lived vicariously through almost exclusively through cis man OCs. I don't do self insert OCs (and Elorin still isn't), so I didn't really - (1/3)

Since creating Ellandra's story, I have gained confidence in how I tell a story and fitting OCs within existing lore that, I hope, feels fluid. Also, and more importantly, I have gained a bunch of wonderful writer and artist friends, who are my supportive cheerleaders and motivate me to create! ♥️

#tavqotd Positivity Giving Halla and Gilnor a new lease of life in Faerun has in turn given me a new lease of life. So much creativity, friends, a new fandom to call home. It happened not long before some really big shakeups in my life, and I would have struggled so much more than I did without BG3

#TavQOTD Finding some wonderful friends online, at a time when I was feeling lonely, has been the most special thing about Seraphina to me (which, honestly, is probably the most 'Seraphina Approves' thing I could say 😂) Also getting to learn new skills (VPs & Blender) because of my hyperfixation ❤️

I've met & gained so many wonderful, lifelong friendships. I've been more creative than I've ever been in my life before. I started writing again. I learned (some) blender. I've been practicing drawing. I got art I love. I've learned & gained so much confidence in myself. All bc of this lil bean❤️

I improved a lot in drawing human characters, my digital skills got significantly better. I'm finally able to draw chibis in a consistent style. Started drawing nsfw stuff and in less than a year made a huge improvement with anatomy.

#TAVQOTD Thanks to my lads I have learned to be strong, kind to myself, and to listen to the good things people say about me. But more than that, I found my person: someone who sees all my sides and stands by me through it all, that I'm worthy of all the effort, and I'm grateful for that.

I started taking VP and I got back into writing because of Andromeda. I don’t know that I’m that great at either, but I have fun with it which is what matters most. So, I’m really grateful that she’s been such an inspiration for me to get back into creative projects. 💗 #tavqotd

#tavqotd i've learned being fat isn't a curse 🥹 i've struggled seeing my body in any sort of positive light after something traumatic but getting art / writing of Xiomi being chubby, happy, *loved* has done wonders for me... So thankful for my peony! #Xiomi🪷 #bg3 #tav #oc #bg3oc

#TavQOTD Through my lads I've learnt about myself and really, how to be a little kinder to myself and also others. But I've also gained two of the most important people in my life, who frankly helped during my worst year and further and I'm so privileged to have these people in my life.

I made real, genuine friends through Elizabeth. We game together multiple times a week, watch movies and events together, get gifts for one another, and come together to get shared comms. There is so much genuine love in the Goonies and it wouldn't have happened without Liz. #tavqotd #Elizabeth

#TavQOTD Oh goodness. So much. She was originally made for a DND campaign like, 8 years ago? She, and I, have come so far since. The love I have for her and now her extended narrative has made me learn new things like interactive novels, cosplay, visual novels, 3D art, coding, and comics.
