Back to my usual grim business, but like, who decided Gortash is past the point of saving? As far as I can tell, nobody ever even attempted to save him and if fucking Durge, who was the leader and the worst out of the old dead 3, can be redeemed, who's to say Gortash can't?

I mean, heck, he's ready and willing to kill even Durge the second they get in his way, despite what some people (hi, it's me) hc they may have had. Give that man a good argument and an option he'd never see himself, and he'd probably do it. He's practical, screwed up and has 0 morals (which is to be expected given his bg) but practical, and you can use that. After all, he wants to become/be seen as a hero. As someone benevolent. If you can convince Keteric, who's just straight up given up on life and everything within it, I do think it's possible to save Gortash too.

I personally wouldn't want to redeem him cuz I like their rs dynamic of 'is it manipulation or admiration' far better, but fr, who said he's too far gone? Yeah, sure he might be kicking and screaming throughout it, but that's a lot of ppl in therapy, isn't it? That's what some of your companions did for three whole acts, isn't it?

Idk man, I don't see a reason why he's 'beyond saving' except for the narrative of the game demands it. BG3 is all about saving people who didn't see anything wrong with their ways, so why is he written off like that? Is it cuz he's old? Astarion's certainly far older, and he can be saved. Because he isn't handsome? Well, I think he is. Cuz he did human experiments? Durge straight-up performed vivisections frequently. Cuz he fucked with Netherese/Karsus magic? A kind reminder that Gale has a piece of the karsite weave in his chest.

Genuinely, I don't understand that notion.

#this is a geniun question #i actually dont understand that sentiment #astarion too wanted to ascend until last second #gale can spiral so fast and quietly you dont notice until he drops ur ass seconds before the end #minthara and laezel can be saved #so whats that thing that makes it impossible for him #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #enver gortash #bg3 gortash #lord gortash #durgetash

bit of bg3 spoilers ahead so you decide if you proceed or not lol. minors dni pls

actually a shame how raphael is actually such a complex character but everyone gonna be like HAHA WHY DO YOU LIKE HIM HES BAD IN BED HE ONLY WANTS HIMSELF TOO XDD

personally? i really like how he’s written. (before i will get jumped on, obviously i DO NOT condone the shit he’s done. i do want to punch him sometimes ngl.) honestly my fav part about him is that he is rather interested in tav for someone that has so many statues and pictures of himself👀 you cannot tell me there is not any interest, i think we know that our tav/durge might be the most fascinating (;)) client he’s had in all of his centuries. yes we might be just a tool for him bc we get him his crown which is his heart desire. also i cannot stop thinking about that scene in act 2 in last light inn where he tells you THAT HE LITERALLY THINKS OF YOU honestly? i wouldn’t doubt that, smarmy as he might be. can we talk about the “I’ve grown quite fond of you, you know, in my way” hello???????

moving on to more imporant matters: can we speak about how he’s actually THRIVING knowing how usually nobody gives a fuck about his kind??? my man was like ppl dont love me but who cares but i’ll love myself.

‼️TW FOR ABUSE FOR THE PART IN BRACKETS. ‼️

(for those who don’t know, cambions are usually sent into the abyss and they are abused by demons, or sent to the material plane.)

consider the relationship with his father too??? imagine having to bargain for power with your father for CENTURIES and he doesn’t care no matter what. still, raphael would do anything to hold the most power known to any kind and to prove himself worthy. he even made the orphic hammer???listen, ambition is specific to cambions, nobody does it like raph though…honestly i find his ambition admirable, as much as i want to punch him sometimes, like i said in the intro of this post. yet we have all his achievements and people will still be like haha bottom that is bad in bed. besides, do we really trust a salty incubus? they are the ONLY character that states their opinion on raph’s performances… 🌚

anyway. these are my thoughts on the matter and this is my the contribution to the raphael nation. i’ve always wanted to join it for a while, so here i am, i just wanted to ramble about him a bit xd this post turned out longer than i expected to but oh well hi. if you made it this far tyvm for taking ur time <3 however if you don’t like my opinions that’s fine you can always scroll further :)

EDIT: i dont have a problem with him being a bottom ofc, nor with the idea that he would be bad in bed. in short for all this blog, i have a problem with people ridiculing him. why would that stuff matter having how complex he actually is?

all of my moots ocs , be it tavs or durges , ( including canon ) are simply so creative and easy on the eyes for me . i know i’m like the least spoken person on the dash other than writing in threads , which i’ll eventually come out of my timid shell to befriend ppl , but just wanna say i admire everyone and their creativity .

edit : also I’ll be starting to minimize the use of double / triple space in my threads , just easier for me and some peers to read !

#MUN | OOC .#twiddling my fingers #i hate being so timid when I’m trying to approach a new fandom #and so far everyone has been kind enough to write with me so I appreciate it c:

ppl who hide behind anonymity to spew vitrol are dumb as fuck. i only ever go anon because i get nervous around bigger creators/creators i really admire and i want to compliment them without coming off as a weirdo. and since i'm already here i might as well confess that durge maeve has been making me want to write my own little stories and i think you're hilarious and very insightful!!

anon!!!!! get back here so i can kiss you. you absolutely should write your own little stories it's super fun, it can be cathartic! healing!! and also just self indulgent! everyone should tbh 🤍 but thank you so much, this means a lot to me. i've been having a bit of a rough time lately (even with the anon vitriol aside) and these kinds of messages seriously brighten my day. thanks for taking the time to send me one and making me all smiley this morning :')
