Welcome to the Baldur's Gate 3 Summer Creativity Event.

The idea is to bring the community together to create works around a summer theme!

FAQ: How does it work? Create a work (art, writing, embroidery, song, anything) based on Baldur's Gate 3 with a summer theme. This blog will share them through the summer. (June through August)

Do I have to follow certain prompts: A list of prompts is below, but fitting in one of them isn't required, as long your work is appropriately summer themes.

How will you share the works? Either @ the blog or submit your post! There will also be an AO3 collection (coming soon). Please don't just tag with a hash tag because that will be very hard to share.

Are there any ratings guide lines? Nope! Just tag appropriately please!

Who can participate? Anyone 18+ since there is not interest in policing who submits what content.

Who's running this thing? Just me, @tragedybunny

Astarion has mid charisma for a reason, but he tries all the same. Ft. our beloved durge. Saw this original comic (below) by Sarah Andersen and I knew I had to make an edit.

Made a sculpt of my Tav, didn't want to fight with fibermesh in Zbrush for the hair, so I stuck with a bit of a janky solid sculpt for that. Anyway if you're curious about her, you can check out this write-up ~here~.

would love to hear more about your tav, if you’re willing to share :)

Another ask!! Yes!! Of course!!! Here are some new sketches as well!

I am in the process of writing a fic, so I don't want to reveal too much without spoiling some plot points I have planned. Regardless, here are some basic character facts: Age: about 23-24 Height: 5'5 Weight: ~150lbs Body Type: She has a sturdy build, especially for tieflings who I think tend to be a bit more wiry/lithe, and has a bit of pudgy-softness to her form. Skin Color: Golden, like Dammons, but she has a pale chest and belly. Hair Color: Golden brown with reddish highlights Eye Color: Hazel-green Char Stats: STR: 10 DEX: 12 CON: 17 INT: 8 WIS: 11 CHA: 15 She's got one-braincell syndrome, but boy can she take a punch. Upon waking in the nautiloid, she hits her head pretty good and realizes shortly after that she has no memory of her personal life. Whether this is due to injury, the tadpole, or something else is something that ties into her character arc. Relating to this, she does have a name! Tav is a moniker given to her by Shadowheart very early on in the story. Her real name will be revealed as the story progresses. Her amnesia seems to obscure only her personal history; She has intact "common knowledge" about cities, recent world events, races of Faerûn, etc. Basically things most people would know, etc. She is a tiefling (Asmodeus), but has some unusual features. Her horns are initially filed down to the base, and her nails have been trimmed so she no longer has the typical claws we see on other tieflings in bg3. As time passes in the story, she does regrow her horns, which is why you might see my depictions of her with varying horn lengths. Due to her amnesia, she is unsure of what line of work she once occupied, but it's apparent she's a proficient martial fighter. She develops a slight father/daughter relationship with Zevlor after saving the grove from the initial goblin attack, and it's his influence that guides her towards becoming a Paladin. This vocation suits her for a variety of reasons, mainly due to the fact that she's inherently selfless, often to a fault. I would list her positive traits as being: kind, self-sacrificing, charismatic, courageous, enduring and practical. I would list her negative traits as being: Reckless, stubborn, naive, dense, tactless (compulsive truth-teller), and overconfident, although this stems more from her naivete rather than arrogance. In short: She's a good aligned, folk-hero paladin, aka Astarion's antithesis (at least in the beginning). I think it's an interesting dynamic to explore that relationship and contention between the two of them, and how ultimately they're good for each other. Hope you didn't mind my rambling! Let me know if there's anything else you're interested in.

Reblogging to say that I did make a post about my tiefling headcanons, you can find it here. Happy reading!

Tav realizes she likes Astarion's fangs a little too much. For reasons yet undisclosed, Tav isn't too familiar with her tiefling instincts, but she's starting to learn the hard way. I have several headcanons about tiefling culture/biology, (maybe I'll write them up one day) one of which being that tieflings have a hardwired attraction to a nice set of fangs.

(NSFW filth from here onwards)

While tieflings mostly share similar sexual dimorphism characteristics with humans, one of the differences is that males tend to have more pronounced fangs than the females. Every tiefling is different and has their own preferences regarding gender/orientation, but during a tieflings heat/rut cycle, bigger, sharper teeth = better mating bite. Astarion isn't a tiefling, but well, I don't think Tav minds too much. ((Also sidenote: while the terms rut/heat usually refers to an affliction for males/females respectively, the terms are more or less interchangeable and not bound by gender/orientation/sex. Informally the terminology changes depending on whether the afflicted wants to breed or be bred. I'll let you guess which one Tav is, LOL))

I recently received a request for my tiefling headcanons, (also mentioned in this comic) so I put together a ramshackle biology guide for them. It's not 100% faithful to DnD or BG3 lore, but I borrowed enough from them that it's pretty interchangeable.

IMPORTANT: I tried to keep most things as clinical as possible to avoid Tumblr-geddon, but anything vaguely NSFW in the comic has is written in pink text for your convenience.

((CW: Clinical (Non-Graphic) descriptions of Heat/Rut cycles, menstruation, no A/B/O)) I'm also going to copy over all the text from the panels into text format on here so y'all can just read them if you want.

Text version below!

INFERNAL TRAITS

Tieflings possess a variety of features that hearken back to the Hellish influence in their bloodline. Often these traits are animalistic in nature, though in extreme cases may appear more akin to aberrations.

Common features include glowing eyes, horns, clawed fingers and toes, and tails.

Tieflings are inclined to be left handed or ambidextrous.

Less common traits include hooves, paws, or talons for feet, wing like appendages, goat-like ears, a forked tongue, etc.

A Protruding Brow ridge and cheekbones are more common among males. They are considered attractive by some and less so by others, and it seems to crop up in those who are closer to their Infernal sire (I.e, the direct child of a cambion).

Tieflings possess raised ridges on various parts of their body. They can range from boney and firm to soft and fleshy, with the intensity and abundance of ridges varying per individual.

EYE VARIATIONS

The eyes of a tiefling born to two tieflings will almost always have infernal coloring. In this regard, the scelera should be jet black and glossy, and the iris vibrant and produce a strong glow.

The eyes of a tiefling born to humans can either have infernal or mundane coloration. The pupil is usually oblong, but other shapes have been known to occur.

A child born to one tiefling and one human has an equal chance of inheriting either trait.

In both cases, the pupil functions like a cat’s would; narrowing in bright light, and dilating in darkness or while in a state of heightened emotion.

TEETH VARIATIONS

Male tieflings typically have longer fangs than Females. Males are are considered to be more attractive the longer their fangs are.

This attraction is perhaps more hardwired than cultural, as most female (and some male) tieflings are on the receiving end of a bite during their heat.

It is not uncommon to see some tieflings with filed teeth, especially in places where discrimination is common.

TAIL VARIATIONS

The shape of The tail tip (Often referred to as a ‘spade’) manifests in a variety of forms, with some sporting tufts of hair or even fins.

Tiefling Parents might take their newborn to a fortune teller to predict their child’s lifeline based on the spade and other distinctive features. (Longer tail = Longer life, Thin Tail = Weak Constitution, etc.)

Long tails are typically seen as more attractive, but it’s usually down to a matter of preference.

Although their tails are not prehensile, having a dexterous tail is often seen as a sign that someone is more skilled in bed.

REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE

Like humans, tieflings endure a 9-month gestation period, and all other developmental markers remain the same despite most tieflings living upwards of 200 years.

Tieflings differ slightly in regards to ovulation and fertility. Unlike humans, tieflings will experience either a heat or a rut that is the primary driver of their breeding cycle.

Females typically experience their first heat at around 16-18, with males experiencing their first rut at around 18-20.

Unlike a human menstruation cycle, females will go into heat every 2-3 months for 1-2 days at a time, after which menstruation will last for about 4 days.

A rut occurs at roughly the same frequency, but can be triggered early by heat pheromones.

Many tieflings use potions, herbs, or magic items to mitigate their heat/rut cycle, but long term usage is not advised.

During this period, the afflicted experiences heightened arousal and an instinctual urge to breed. Fertility is increased during this period.

Increased production of pheromones signals potential mates that one has entered heat/rut.

Scent glands along the hips, jawline, tail and neck become highly sensitive.

“Tail flagging” may occur, in which the tail lifts and inches over to the side to provide “easier access”.

Heat and Rut Symptoms

A tiefling usually experiences a variety of symptoms in the days leading up to their heat or rut. Primarily the afflicted will notice:

- Increased Fatigue

- Increased body temperature

- Increase in appetite/thirst

- Increased sensitivity to olfactory and tactile senses.

- Mood swings that include irritability, aggression, and anxiety, especially if in an unfamiliar or dangerous location.

Those in heat often feel the urge to retreat to someplace familiar and safe, and often engage in “nest-making” behavior.

This consists of surrounding one’s self in paraphernalia associated with loved ones (Often clothes, pillows or bed linens). A partner will often assist in prepping the nest and gifting appropriate items in a show of support and affection.

Those in rut without a partner tend to withdraw into a solitary location, and often experience bouts of aggression and irritability.

Those with a partner often become exceedingly territorial or possessive, especially if said partner is in heat or is pregnant.

When seeking out a partner, gifts may be given as a show one is a good provider; this is more of a ceremonial practice than a biological one. Gifts often include jewelry, fine clothing, rare artifacts etc.

That's all for now! Let me know if you liked it or not or want more. Feel free to use this stuff for your own stories/fanfics/art whatever, but I'd appreciate if you linked back to this post or my blog if you do. Thanks!

Obligatory Catstarion post, with an additional cameo of my Tav as a cat. Big One-Orange-Braincell energy from her, lets be real. Also smashed together a quick animatic of Catstarion bringing her a "gift" in the morning, isn't he a little shit the best? If you're curious about my Tav, there's some more artwork on my blog like this one.

A companion comic to this one; Tav likes Astarion's fangs, Astarion realizes he really likes seeing her in his shirt with his bite marks on her neck.

Big fan of the trope that Astarion is a little too possessive over the things he cares about deems important, partially because he's a selfish little creature, but mostly because he didn't have anything to call his own under Cazador. ((Also featuring a showboating Wyll, and a skeptical Lae'zel; I love them both so much, they're such dorks.))

“Throw me.”

“What?” Karlach calls in between swings, “I can’t hear you— just a tick!”

The barbarian seizes a pair of unlucky goblins and smashes their heads together with practiced ease. There’s a audible crack and both slump to the ground, unmoving, and Karlach turns to face her.

“Throw me.” Tav repeats desperately, “It’s the only way we’ll get a blow in. I can take him down.”

Karlach’s brow furrows, then her eyes widen in understanding.

“You’re insane,” She beams, “I love it! Brace yourself, Soldier!”

Tav readies herself, feels Karlach’s searing grip on the back of her doublet, and then she’s airborne— She’s got to give it to her, the woman has impeccable aim.

Several goblins down below actually stop fighting to watch her ascent, but she only has eyes for Dror Ragzlin. The hobgoblin is preoccupied with Lae’zel, and she uses that to her advantage. She leverages her tail as a counterweight, twisting mid-air as her momentum builds, and slams the blade downwards. ----------------------------

Here's some fanart of my Tav and a snippet from the fanfic I'm dabbling in. Tav is a Paladin and normally a bit of a klutz, but she rolled a 20 on her dex for this move. Takes place during the goblin camp arc.

Feeding Alligators by @atsadi-shenanigans has been stuck rent free in my head for the last few weeks, highly recommend reading it if you haven't already! Stalked their blog (sorry) for any character references and did some sketches of the main character, Eleanor. Bonus pic of her (with slightly longer hair) having a mild freakout dealing with Faerun's finest problem children heroes.

Fanfic Snippet

Decided to post the intro to a bg3 fanfic I'm writing. Will I ever finish? Who knows! But I have a lot more than this written already and I might post little parts of the story here from time to time. Features my Tav, name ((REDACTED)), Typical TavXAstarion brainrot, eventual smut, although this post is clean. Enjoy! CW: Cursing, Mild Injury ______________________________________________________________

When she comes to, it’s to the sound of screeching metal and a high pitched, keening wail.

Then, before she has a chance to open her eyes, or at the very least string two thoughts together, her world turns sideways and her head collides into something firm and fleshy.

Bright lights snap into focus behind her eyelids, and she moans, wincing at the throbbing blast of pain that now radiates across her entire skull.

The keening noise stops, or at least dims, but tremors persist deep within the bowels of wherever the hells she’s ended up. She hesitates a moment to see if her head is split open. A cursory pass with her hand reveals no open wound, and she relaxes a fraction before peeking an eyelid open.

She shuts it almost immediately, takes a deep breath, and counts to five.

I’m dreaming, She thinks lightly, This is just a really terrible, fucked up dream, and when I open my eyes, I’ll be back in my bed in…” Her mantra fades as her brain searches fruitlessly for a memory no longer there.

Fuck.

It seems her head injury has done more than just give her a headache— it has also apparently knocked her memories clear into next week.

She scrubs at her face, pressing hard against her eyelids until patterns form in the darkness. Something squirms behind her eye at the pressure, and she gasps, eyes flying open of their own accord.

The nightmare hellscape beyond hasn’t changed, and now there was something wriggling around in her head.

Double fuck.
