Surprised Velanna isn't my number 1 ngl
A ranking of characters from the video game series Dragon Age. The screenshot shows the top 10 names as follow: 1. Alistair 2. Velanna 3. Isabela 4. Sigrun 5. The Iron Bull 6. Varric 7. Dorian 8. Cullen 9. Josephine (listed as eight also, probably because she's ex-aequo with Cullen) 10. Emmrich

Which film reminds you of your childhood?

I always name the masterpieces so let's go with the “I was three and obsessed with dogs” ones
The poster for the film Homeward Bound: the incredible journey. It depicts two dogs and a cat journeying through what I think is Colorado??? I don't know, I was three. They're seen walking on a log between two rocky spaces with a waterfall in the middle, and they're seen again sitting at the forefront of the poster. The poster for a French film called Hercule & Sherlock. It depicts three dogs with dye on them. One is blue, one is pink, and one is orange. Also there are three humans, two men (including Christophe Lambert for some reason) and a woman.

Might be double bingo if “forgot” means “created an oc then left them to rot for a long time” instead of truly forgot. Same with fandom character. Is it a character made by other fans or is it someone from canon?

Not counting half assed OCs otherwise I am indeed over 30+ 🫣
A screenshot of a bingo card labelled Samhain's OC bingo. The first line reads: 10+ OCs, had at least one Mary-Sue, made an OC mair with someone else's OC, gave away OC for free, has nsfw art of OC Second line: has an OC as a persona vtuber etc., fursona anthros or feral OCs, joined an OC RP forum server group etc., had fanart drawn of your OC, discarded or deleted an OC Third line: made OC for ttrpg but never played them, OCs based on religion or mythology, free space, more villain or evil OCs than good, self insert OCs Fourth line: first OC comes from a fandom, wrote a story comic etc. with OC, OC with edgy lore or traumatic backstory, forgot about an OC until months or years later, used a face claim or voice claim for OC Fifth line: shipped OC with a fandom char, made an OC pair between your own OCs, created OC based off of a song movie novel or game, drew fanart of someone else's OC, 30+ OCs I have highlighted the following: 10+ OCs, had at least one Mary-Sue, made an OC pair with someone else's OC, joined an OC RP forum server group etc., discarded or deleted an OC, OCs based on religion or mythology, free space, first OC came from a fandom, wrote a story comic etc. with OC, OC with edgy lore or traumatic backstory, used a face claim or voice claim, shipped OC with a fandom char, made an OC pair between your own OCs, created OC based off of a song movie novel or game

Meet Casmyn. She used to be soldier but then her bff died the victim of an hate crime against tieflings and Casmyn took an Oath of Vengeance. She's going to reach Baldur's Gate with the least enthusiasm possible and might romance Shadowheart (🫶 @mikelaidlaw.bsky.social @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social)
A screenshot of a human Tav. Casmyn has long honey blond hair, held in three low braids to keep them out of her face. She has light brown eyes, sun-kissed skin, a greek nose with a bump. She's wearing a brown and dark green armour with gold shoulder pads. She also has a gold circlet. Casmyn, Shadowheart and Lae'zel standing around the Nautiloid right after Shadowheart gets out of her pod. They're all wearing custom armours. Casmyn is in the one described in the previous pic. Shadowheart has a plate made of silver and dark purple cloth with brown leather pants and a silver circlet which is a simple band. Lae'zel has a gith armour on also in silver, brown, and dark purple, and a gith mask. Shadowheart and Casmyn right after their escape from the Nautiloid. They're both doing thumbs up but Shadowheart is smiling and clearly proud of themselves, while Casmyn is grimacing.

In honour of me finally* letting Zag see the epilogue, have a jumble of unedited screenshots of the fun we've had these past few weeks.

sfw just gore in the last pic!

*started a long time ago then got bored in act 3, did a speed run to see how it ended & didn't actually play through the act itself
A Dark Urge is standing at the top of the first Act 3's camp, overlooking Baldur's Gate, his arms raised in celebration. Minsc is showing off Boo and Zagreus isn't sure how to react. Jaheira can be seen in the background which makes it even funnier, she looks like she's just realizing he was less annoying as the Stone Lord (i love them both this is in jest please) Jaheira, Minsc, and Astarion seating prettily in the Murder Tribunal chairs while Sarevok is waiting for them to START the fight. I had to cheat to take this but it was soooo worth it Zagreus on Sarevok's throne, sitting like he's a cute teen girl at a sleepover, while Sarevok himself is dead and gored at his feet :)

Without downloading anything where are you mentally rn?
A dead guy in the back of a car, covered in blood, is saying “I'm okay” Pikachu facing the sea. He looks sad and dejected. The dialogue bubble says MAN Captain Haddock looking confused and lost is saying “What a week, huh?”. Tintin is leaning onto him worriedly and saying “Captain, it's Wednesday!”. Milou the dog is also there, sniffing a glass of what appears to be alcohol and being shocked by its smells A 50's ads style of drawing shows a woman smiling a fake smile while holding a cat who is also smiling a tensed, fakey smile. A text surrounding them reads “cats make me feel less murdery”

LoaSG is a huge miss for me but at least it follows the tradition of her having some gorgeous lyrics served by the most generic, lame pop you can imagine 😤 Begging a good pop-rock band (Halocene 👀) to give thse lyrics ⬇️ the composition they deserve

I also have some bangers from #DAO
- Haliax Aeducan, too short for the automatic story shots!

- When tragedy strikes but you need that armour to finance the rest of the came

- "Hello, I'm Mhaïri Brosca and I swear we aren't homicidal maniacs"

- Caliban Tabris dissociating through the entire game
A dwarven male character is barely visible in the frame because he is too short compared to Alistair. In this screenshot, Alistair is modded to have slightly pointy ears because I have been playing this game for fifteen years and need some variations. Discourse begone Fun fact: in my canon where I do what I want, Haliax lied to Duncan so he'd take him outside the Deep Roads and never fulfilled his promise to help the Wardens. Decades later, he grew a morality bone and gave his life to kill Razikale (this way, I can still have "killing an archdemon burns away your soul" without killing Davrin off, thank you very much) My canon HoF during my bazillionth playthroughs which means I looted everyone, yes even Eleanor Cousland who is kneeling in front of Oren's and Orana's bodies in a cunty flesh tanga. Oops. Illyria is my OG HoF. The one who has been with me for all these years, whose life I've daydreamed about for hours on end. She's my baby, my love, my queen. She's very depressed and traumatised because she was seventeen when this scene happened and DAO through DATV was A LOT Alistair Theirin, Morrigan, and Mhaïri Brosca are standing all cute and nice in front of Leliana. They are ALL covered in blood. Alistair and Mhaïri are smiling like the maniacs they are! In my canon, Mhaïri is in an open relationship with Zevran who is himself dating my Tabris, Caliban. The famous Zevranmancer, Caliban Tabris! He is seen here during his forced wedding, before something awful happens. It's still a funny picture to me because every single one of the story screenshots of him, he's just dissociating. Like for real, there isn't one where he's not looking into the far off distance with the most empty eyes possible. Dude has PTSD of his PTSD

The only pics in existence of Inquisitor Rinaerys "Rin" Lavellan! She has the wrong hair here, but I'm too lazy to bout up my old PC which is the only one still able to use the og mod without crashing :(
An elven Inquisitor from Dragon Age: Inquisition. She's got long silver-blonde hair, clear blue eyes, a plae blue Mythal Vallaslin, and the brown hunter PJ from Skyhold with a leather corset and the little scarf. Rin with vanilla long bob hair, in the CC screen. Her vallaslin is more visible here and you can see she has dark blond/light brown eyebrows so she's clearly lying about being a natural Targaryen-silver queen, what's up with that Rin? Is it because you were made by someone who was obsessed with ASOIAF at the time, maybe?

Quick unedited photodump of Lycia Ingellvar because I've hardly ever posted about her and I'm still cleaning up my screenshot folder. She was romancing Davrin but I've abandonned her and he has a boyfriend now
A customized human Rook from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. They are a redhead with blue eyes, a high ponytail, lots of freckels, blue war paints on her face. She's looking longingly outside the window in Harding's plant nursery. Poorly framed action shot of Lycia using electricity magic Just her looking at the camera Moments to write home about: we put a dragon to sleep, mum! is what Lycia is thinking while posing for this (it was Davrin's idea)

His baby sister appears as his guardian. I've been wanting to play as her for ages but I don't know what kind of person she is just yet. She also doesn't have a name, I'm open to suggestion #BaldursGate #BG3
Screenshot of a guardian character from Baldur's Gate 3. They are a female Drow with light grey-purple-ish skin, blind eyes with a white veil covering the entire eyes, black lipstick, thin black lines on her cheeks, between her eyebrows, and on her chin, and a silver nose ring. She has a long braid an a fringe structuring her face

I spoke of him yesterday and I'm cleaning up my screenshot folder so have some Zagreus, the Durge who thinks he's a good person and this has to be a nightmare, right? RIGHT? #BaldursGate #BG3
Screenshot of a Dark Urge character from Baldur's Gate 3. The character is a male Drow with dark grey skin, long white hair in a Shadowheart-style braid, purple eyes with black sclera. He's wearing a basic mage dress in black, and is sporting black war paint (two triangles under his eyes and going down his cheeks) and silver piercings. He's not goth at all, it's just Maybeline. Same character in camp, having a very bad time and looking uterly shocked

There are some indie games I'm really looking for, but those have me vibrating with excitement, esp. Hades because early access is FLAWLESS as is so imagine the perfection on full release 🤯

Quick Sasha fit check
A screenshot of a Tav character from Baldur's Gate III. They are a half-elf in a copper and green aesthetics for both their looks and their outift. In this one, they're wearing a green cotton chemise with a light brown leather surcoat Same character this time wearing a Victorian-inspired dress with a high collar, in a sage colour. The dress is splattered with blood because Sasha slays in both sense of the word. Camp outfit of the same character. This time, they have lgith brown leather pants and gloves, a light tan chemise with the collar open and dyed green.

Gave them a beard just to try it and the hair pick became obvious. I have a feeling I won't resist turning them into a Tav at some point 😅
The exact same character as in the previous screenshots but now they have a well-kept black beard and mustache + short hair with tight curls, and they look flawless

Guardian time! Also live posting and can't decide on their hair so you get both options while I decide
Poor quality screenshot of a guardian character in Baldur's Gate 3. They are a female lightfoot Halfling with dark brown skin, light purple eyes, and a gothy vibe because Linny's Herja energy manifested into them I guess?? In this first screenshot, they have long dreadlocks with shaved sides. Lots of piercings too. Same character but with a gorgeous natural short hair that makes them look slightly older and rougher and I actually like that vibe, it contrasts with the copper babe I have for a Tav... She might end up looking like this in game idk

I abandonned Baldur's Gate 3 months ago so, instead of finishing act 3 with my Durge, I'm restarting the entire game (blaming @lizzysizzy.bsky.social for reigniting my interest)

Live screenshots dumping before I start a guardian. Meet Sashara! She's a Sorcerer scholar because alliterations are cool
Bad quality screenshots of the CC of a custom Tav in Baldur's Gate 3. The character is a female half-elf with red fire draconic blood. They're a red head with a loooong side braid, one golden-brown eye, one light green, and their general colour scheme is copper. Same but it's another view of her face (green eye side).
