I’ve seen some people make a general post, pin it, and then add more lore in the comments. Perhaps that could work for you?

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

I genuinely cannot express the sheer amount of yappery that's in my bones 😅 so just one post (say, about me discussing the parallel between mal's upbringing and astarion under caz) would result in a loooong chopped up blanket that would be hard to follow 😬

katathlipsi-1.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Ooo, I see, I see. Well, you could create varying posts and group them under a unique hashtag. That way, everything stays together. Not sure if that’ll help, but just a thought!

mercymakin.bsky.social•17 hours ago

oh, that's also an idea! i'm gonna try a couple of things and see what works best. thank you! 💖

katathlipsi-1.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Good luck on such venture, comrade!

thank you! 😘

Using the #tavqotd tag can help to share lore in the little questions asked! 😊

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

oh, that's a good idea! i keep seeing others do it and i want to join but also i find summarizing my characters or aspects of them in a short 'bite-sized' snippets a task that puts a lot of pressure on me so i tend to postpone it. i guess i just gotta relax a little and post little snippets!

mrsecho.bsky.social•1 day ago

It can feel like work sometimes lol but the community of people who post them regularly are so nice, helpful and encouraging! I know usually put my own question out there once a day now. Best of luck! Happy to help if you need any 😊

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

thank you so much! 💖 i will try to have fun with it AND also try to find ways to share more long-form content as i'm just a yapper at heart 😅

I’ve also seen a lot of people make Canva character sheets that have a lot of the lore added to them. They look really beautiful too.

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

oh, I have a "general" lore page (outdated though: https://mercymaker.tumblr.com/bg3ocs) for my ocs, so that's not really an issue! I mean more just talk about specific tidbits and meta/AU stuff that I post on my tumblr which I'd like to also share here 🤔

optimisticgrey.bsky.social•1 day ago

Share it! Share all of it!

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

would posting screenshots full of text be a viable/interesting option? i find the character limit here incredibly limiting and sometimes i just go off at 2am writing novels discussing thoughts™ and adventures 😩

optimisticgrey.bsky.social•1 day ago

That is what tumblr is for - unrestrained, judgementfree brainrot posting.

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

oh yes, i love tumblr's freedom to yap endlessly and add tons of pictures and reactions and memes while i'm at it, i'm just unsure how to translate that to the peeps here (who might not have a tumblr account). struggling 😩

optimisticgrey.bsky.social•1 day ago

Only external links, I am afraid. Tumblr, a blog/website, a virtual library.
or very long threads that are annoying to format due to the restrictions

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'll run some experiments! Will try to post small "captions" in a form of a summary and then link to the tumblr posts and then also just try out screenshots of the same text accompanied by an image. Not sure what people prefer here 🤔

rdekarios.bsky.social•1 day ago

Firstly, gorgeous picture! ❤️
Secondly, I've seen people using Notion? You can have a public Notion page with links featuring alllll of their lore! I currently use Google docs but am thinking of switching. Somebody made a template, lemme see if I can find it...

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

thank you! I've been working on revamping Mal's "summary" lore page as the one I have now is outdated. But I meant more of a.. "loose" bits that I just yap about like this: https://www.tumblr.com/mercymaker/775579554309865472/was-waiting-for-my-pizza-to-be-done-and-started that doesn't really fit anywhere besides its own thing 😅

rdekarios.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ahh I see 😅
Yeah it's hard to find places to gush about our OCs (I could ramble on about Seraphina forever haha). At the moment I just have an 'other headcanons' Google doc with different tabs for my rambling but it's not a particularly shareable format 😂🙈

mercymakin.bsky.social•1 day ago

right? the never-ending desire to rotate the blorbos in your head like a microwave is simply too strong to resist 😅

rdekarios.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think it was @thedaffodilsbard.bsky.social who made the Notion template for all the Tav/Durge lore... Tina, is it okay to share? It was such a wonderful and thorough template, but don't want to share without permission 🥹🥰

thedaffodilsbard.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s okay to share no need to ask for my permission 👍 https://vigorous-viscount-3f5.notion.site/BG3-Dark-Theme-e5ad42870f384859a6246695e2d10128
