...I just found a guide on how a Bhaalspawn can become God of Murder in an old Dragon article! Disclaimer: You might need to kill Bhaal again first for this to work.

"First, [the Bhaalspawn] must bring about the death of a thousand innocents. It can do this through a variety of methods: unleashing a magical plague, using magic to destroy a city with an earthquake, awakening and then controlling an ancient dragon... the possibilities are endless. "Next, it must recover a piece of its father's mortal flesh; either from the body that lies within the Winding Water where Bhaal was killed during the Time of Troubles or else the body left in the Moonshae isles, where Bhaal's avatar was killed by King Tristran of the ffolk. "Finally, he must sit upon the Throne of the Gods and be judged by the overgod Ao. The Throne could be located in any number of inhospitable places: the Starpeaks in the High Forest, in the deepest regions of the Underdark, or somewhere on the Outer Planes." - Dragon #288

-

Other fun stuff in there included the idea that Bhaal was very likely to direct his kids to fuck up Cyric's plans.

There was also a guide to the weird powers they will develop:

-

Warning, having Bhaal as a father may cause you to exhibit two or more of the following side effects:

Addiction to homicide (Refusal to commit homicide will lead to your mind being eaten away until you turn into a ravening, feral animal.)

Your soul going to hell (well, Gehenna) when you're unconscious

Viscous black blood that attracts devils and demons like flies to honey

Poisonous blood! You can coat your weapons with it!

Turning into a divine murder monster

Getting so carried away with bloodlust you try to fight everything. Literally everything in reach, all at once.

Overwhelming homicidal rage when slightly inconvenienced

A steadily weakening sense of free will

Everybody around you immediately dislikes you because you give off Vibes.

A personality so bad it has charisma penalties

Nightmares so traumatic they actually impair your ability to function while awake

Detect evil spells will say you're evil and holy weapons and water will harm you. Even if you're not evil

Being fireproof, for some reason

Super strength

And more!

#...I'm stealing some of these for my Charname tbh #Also hey! Durge already has Bhaal's flesh.#It's their *own* body!#I wasn't even looking for this I was just browsing an index for FR articles in Dragon magazines and found it #...why the fire resistance?#...and why are we alternating between “it” and “he” as pronouns in an article written by cis men in the 2000s? Weird.#durge #the dark urge #dark urge #lore stuff

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means.#when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial.#the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times.#often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost.#22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes.#he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home.#can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long.#Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place.#clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves.#he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.

I'm not sure why some people are surprised by this. It's an entirely different method and mindset of fighting when you have nothing left to lose and believe down deep in what you are doing. Compare that to untrained 19-20 year old idiot conscripts who would rather be on TikTok and have zero discipline and this is the result.

My object head OCs whomst I almost never draw, haha. I like them! They just... don't really have stories, so I don't think about them a lot compared to some of my other characters.

The last three were art pieces I made for past editions of the Object Head Zine (these ones are free for all, you can download them!), and the dates written on the first set actually correspond to when these were finished. So 2017, 2019 and 2021. ^^

The middle row is from last year's inktober, thought it'd be fun to include them too. Different styles~

#mydrawings #MyCharacters #object heads #draw this again #technically?#Object Head Zine #i still like these zine pictures! even if i would do things differenty now i worked hard on them #i remember being so proud of that microscope because i had only started drawing digitally that year aw #hm since i never post about these characters why don't i ramble about them a little in the tags #the fireball head one is a girl btw #since it's impossible to tell with that diving gear #the zine theme of that one was “elements” so i thought #“hey wouldn't it be funny if there was a fire object head who was very passionate about diving”#also these four are not all from the same “universe”- the flowers and the other two live in different stories #the flowers are more like “people who happen to have an object instead of a head”#“and also everything in this world is in black and white except their heads because aesthetic”#while the microscope and the fireball don't... exactly have a physical body...? that you can interact with?#like you could theoretically put your hand through that labcoat and the labcoat would be real #but all you'd feel beside fabric would be a slight resistance and some static #although that would be a smidge rude #he's preparing a microscope slide don't bother him

I beat? The blue spark shadow in Osaka?? Before i even attempted the one in Sapporo ??

#chattin #strikers liveblog #why was he so easy. huh.#i did it by accident too LOL #bc i wanted to run in there and make the dialogue start so i can skip it #but the button to skip dialogue is the special that makes joker fire his gun (which i use if i cant ambush)#and i assumed i was in range to make the dialogue happen so i just. spammed X and accidentally shot it #OOPS #so um. yippee.#so funny. one of the rare times it paid to have ryuji on my team #i had zenkichi and ann too. ann was getting STOMPED on #but i was able to use her for stat cleansing wo having to swap personas on akira #which was nice. i had him using Thor for the strength resistance #but in hindsight #having no weakness to fire and ice REALLY helped…#wolf did absolutely nothing. he was just in the corner sexily using heat riser on himself. thats fine tho #he wanted to use one shot SO bad he was clogging the baton pass corner the whole fight #LET ME SHOOT HIM DEAD. OBLITERATE.#sophie wouldve been better. even haru tbh.#looking at the reward #UM. THE ACCESSORY IS KINDA WORTH IT….#i dunno who to give that too!!!#maybe Haru? shes p well rounded combat wise #and ill ann the endurance one…..

so i went on a side quest today. partly related to an upcoming contract at work. and now i am a qualified fire steward for some reason

#sometimes things just kind of happen to me you know #life is just a thing that happens to me #and i sit somewhere in the back row and nod off a wee bit and when i wake up i'm a qualified fire steward #like. if a building goes on fire i am the one that is supposed to help take charge of the evacuation #truly frightening stuff. say your prayers boys your lives are in the hands of a dyspraxic twink #nah i jest. i'm weirdly good at being loud and bossy and taking charge of people when i really need to be #which is why i wanted to do it. partly that and partly because i care about helping disabled people feel safer #and a lot of more outdated fire safety procedures in this country do not take them into account the way they should #and fundamentally misunderstand a) disability and disabled people and b) the fire resistance of modern commercial buildings

No one prepared me for how soft Karlach's voice is when you're romancing her. Like what the fuck

#I love her 'Hey Soldier!!' as much as the next lesbian but the 'oh. hi... c:' actually kills me dead on the spot #we've known each other like a week babes why do you sound so smitten 🥹#falling to my knees @ the tiefling party begging her to give me a chance #I've got so many fire resistance potions babe trust me pleaseeeeee #alas.#bg3

I did this section of act 1 last night before going to sleep but it's still so fucking funny to me even now.

Picked up the wife, then went to beat the shit out of Zariel's hunting dogs at the toll house with her in the party bc she deserves it. She can have a little murder, as a treat. So we had Rai, then Wyll and Shart as our spellcasters, and Karlach.

1) Karlach does her barbarian rage thing for the tutorial after we kill Anders and Co, obviously. She sets A LOT OF THINGS (including Shart, but NOT Rai and Wyll (I am jokingly calling it favouritism for shipping's sake /jk) on FIRE. As she does bc Infernal Engine and all.

And then

2) Calms down, walks outside after us (we had to get Shart out of the fire before she Burned To Death lmao), says "That should do it" and then IMMEDIATELY starts doing her idle tapdance.

I love her so much djsjsjsjsijs

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #elven vs bg3 #(< i prolly will need a liveblogging tag for this game lol)#karlach cliffgate #sorry shart i promise i'm as surprised as you that you were the only one who got set on fucking fire #lmaooo #and the fact that she happened to roll the tap dancing idle at that exact moment was peak comedy #rai: feel better?#karlach; tapdancing: YEP :'D #(i'm *assuming* rai didn't catch alight bc she's a tiefling so she has fire resistance naturally)#(i have *no* idea why wyll didn't. he was standing right next to shart and karlach rampaged directly between them...#ig he had a good saving throw or something. but it was *very* funny to watch happening)#i almost killed shart bc i was so busy laughing that by the time i got myself together she had like 4 hp left #sorry (again) shart. i swear it was an accident djshsjudusidkdk

I think I'm going to need to refrain from putting Pantera cover of Hurdy Gurdy for fight music because :

1 - it bangs too much. 2 - OFC IT'S PANTERA. 66% of my table will surely recognize it. 3 - I'll just stop the fight and listen to it. 4 - It'd be an excuse to "BUT WHAT IF I PUT LUCA TURILLI'S MUSIC" moment I always have which leads to step 1 and step 3.

#hnk ramblings #choosing a music is my nightmare #i'm fucking too picky #i want to listen to final fantasy but i can't otherwise i'll just brainfreeze and listen to final fantasy adieu campaign.#but consider. Luca's turilli music for boss are a treasure #I just resist the urge to put Echoes of Tragedy from Rhapsody of Fire's album in Argynvostholt bc STEP 3 is awful for a music lover.#i fell into a pittrap where I've discovered a new artist for hurdy gurdy and i'm just vibing instead of you know prep.#NO BUT LISTEN THE WOMEN SINGING THEN THE CONTRECHANT FIGHTING THE CHOIR AND THEN THE ALLTOGETHER REPRISE #THEN THE KEYCHANGE THE DESPAIR COMES BACK AND BAM CHOIR AGAIN AND THE SINGER FINDS THE STRENGHTH AGAIN #LOOK I JUST CAN'T I NEED LUCA TURILLI'S INSTRUMENTAL.#AND THEN THE SPEAKING PART OF THE BEGINNING AGAIN WITH THE OMINOUS PIANO WITH RAW ENERGY PLEASE THIS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE FIGHT #And this my friend is why I don't put music I know in campaign #now vibing to luca turilli's again. I will never prep the music and the session is in like less than 2 hours and I still need to walk the #dog #THE CHOIR STARTS AGAIN GODDAMN THAT PART WITH THE SINGING AND AGAIN KEYCHANGE AND VIBE CHANGE BUT DIFFERENTLY SLIGHT CHANGES AND THE REPRIS #I JUST CAN'T #THE GLORY #OH FFS I'LL JUST LISTEN TO IT IF THEY FIGHT THE BOSS AND PUT THEM ANOTHER MUSIC #Or I just need the instrumental which is a shame cause I don't have it ALSO THERE IS ORGAN AT SOME POINT AFTER YOU THINK IT'S FINISHED WITH #A FUCKING TOCCATA #AND THIS MY FRIEND IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE MUSIC AND COMPOSITION WISE #^ I'm a music enjoyer.#and ominous piano is back for part 2 after the toccata just to tease and the speaking threatening choir in latin with raw dormant fury just #this is grand masterpiece.#I'll die on this hill but luca turilli's music is such underrated #u want to write music? this is how you write music. Listen to ' Of michael the Archangerl and Lucifer's fall' whole 20 minutes.#It's a gem.

#i don't know kratos at all LOL. these are the most dad socks i have saved though #originskey #answered asks #[socks infodump incoming] always knit socks with wool!!! it wicks away sweat + is antibacterial (COOL)!#acrylic yarns will leave ur feet sweaty and plant fibers don't stretch + will not keep you warm #also wool is fire resistant!! if you set wool on fire then remove it from the flame it'll stop burning ^_^#it's why a common test for 'what the fiber content of a fabric is' is just... setting it on fire
