the fandom version of "everyone should work a customer service job" imo is "everyone should try writing fanfiction at least once", like you don't even need to post it but just try it it prolly will give u new appreciation for its existence

#tavqotd Lesser known tavs. I feel like besides Elayna, the rest of my tavs are much lesser known lmao. Today I will offer Zarra Lavant, aka Ellye

#tavqotd Tav/Durge as a companion: Orin has kidnapped them, what does the Orin reveal scene look like? "Elayna" would be spewing insults at everyone and hurting everyone's feelings. When they ask the real her if she meant those words she'd say "if i truly felt that way, i would've told you by now"

#tavqotd Isys was stunned when Gale first told her he loved her. She didn't think he would ever consider her to be more than a potential fling or an affectionate companion, let alone measure up to his previous romance. So when he said that her heart stopped, then fluttered with elation.

#tavqotd Homecoming (1/2) Though she's from Baldur's Gate, Tempyst does not feel much affection for the city. Much of her warmer emotion was left behind when she went into Talos' service. However, Stormshore does stir something within her, as this is where she first pled to the gods for guidance.

#tavqotd What was the one thing your tav/durge did that scared or intimidated their party? For Shyntarra, it's when she jumped down from high ground after stealth killing a room of goblins. They didn't know where she went or where the arrows were coming from, so when she appeared they got scared

#TavQOTD Raphael's deal Embarrassingly, Elayna didn't need any extra convincing. All he had to do was talk for long enough and she was singing her name on that dotted line. She's...down kinda bad πŸ˜…

#tavqotd What was the one thing your tav/durge did that scared or intimidated their party? When she started doing necromancy in Act 2. The party knows Ellye is a devoted follower of Lathander, so seeing her throw that to the side and cast Animate Dead was very unnerving to them.

#tavqotd What has your tav/durge done to get Mal to suspicious squint at them? Elayna would've struted in front of the party insist she could talk her way out of combat. She's right when it comes to the Gith, not so right when it comes to the gnolls.

#tavqotd #nsfw Has your Tav/Durge ever been caught pleasuring themself when they thought they were alone? How did they react? Well this just gave me an idea for Isys. Astarion's bite from nights before made her realize how pent up she was, but she wasn't confident enough to make that type of move-

#TavQOTD Shyntarra's burn scar (1/2) Shyntarra and her clan broke away from a Lolth-worshiping city state and lived in the wild Underdark. Eventually they were deemed heretics by said city state and attacked. Only she and one of her sisters survived, but they got separated.

#tavQOTD Blood of Lathander Ellye followed the quest and used the crest to unlock the Blood. Although the temple was in ruins, retrieving and wielding the Blood was her ray of light in the darkness, a beacon of hope that Lathander was with her for the rest of the adventure.

#tavqotd kisses There's a certain sweetness to Halsin's kisses that Dyana really likes

#tavqotd Does your tav/durge prefer night time or day time? Do they stay up late or prefer to rise early? Dyana likes both but she prefers the daytime. She wakes up early to pray to Chauntea for spells and likes to explore the woods with her wolf pack at dawn. She likes how quiet and serene it is

The concept of Callyope adapting a song like Jolene to fit her feud with Orin

#tavQOTD Elayna needs to be warm, and she can't sleep unless she has some type of covering over her. When they don't have blankets in the first part of the adventure, Kairos lets her use his paladin cloak. She also likes to cuddle and likes being the little spoon.

#TavQOTD How helpful is your Tav at camp? Shyntarra does the hunting, delegates tasks to the rest of the party, and is usually the one to keep watch. Just like in the Underdark, she runs her team like the navy.

#TavQOTD Elayna stealth lines "I'll do my best not to speak." "This attire was made to be seen, not hidden away." Ironically she actually becomes proficient in stealth over the course of the adventure. Then she'll say things like: "I'll head in first." "Good idea. Let's do this quietly."

lowkey wanna make little 'about me' posters for my girls but i don't have the patience for all that 🀧

#TavQotD How does your Tav/Durge handle being the centre of attention? Do they shy away or do they thrive? Elayna absolutely thrives being the center of attention. She loves to perform for adoring crowds singing her praises. Honestly, she's more perturbed when the focus isn't on her.

These character limits are beating my ass

#tavqotd What does freedom mean to your tav/durge? Freedom is everything to Elayna. Freedom drove her to leave her bard troupe, because staying in one place would mean she she's not free to roam. Her life is guided by her pursuit of freedom, particularly freedom to travel and explore.

#tavqotd: What would be your tav/durge favorite establishment or location in Baldur’s Gate? Though she doesn't follow Umberlee, Elayna has always admired temples to the sea goddess. She loved the Queenspire in Waterdeep, and she loves The Water Queen's House in Baldur's Gate.

#tavqotd Little snuggles between Elayna and Astarion and Elayna and Kairos, as well as a couple more intimate embraces

When you run out of design ideas for your tavs, just use their guardians and make them tavs My tavs are all about to be each other's guardians lmao πŸ˜…

The way I forgot how everything works on ao3 I'm actually screaming 🀣

talking about Isys is highkey so hard bc she's basically two different characters and i usually have to account for both versions πŸ˜…

#TavQOTD So, show me your Tav/Durge smooching their LI! Isys showing her love for Gale in both forms.

#TavQotD a party member is considering drinking Araj's Formula Gruna. What does your Tav/Durge say to encourage or dissuade them? Callyope: Certainly wouldn't be my first choice of brew. Lemme know if you wish to partake so I can stay fifty feet away at all times.

i gave the volo eye to most of my tavs in their first run, but honestly, it's the most integral to callyope's design. she legit doesn't look right without it and the scar is *chefs kiss* perfect with it still trying to come up with a story behind the scar bc dammon definitely asks about it πŸ€”

this is still my favorite picture of Callyope of all time bc I remember being like when did Durge have time to go to college? πŸ˜‚ Also the Volo eye looks pink here and I love that πŸ˜‚
