#GrandRevel Day#10: ANNOYANCE

astarion used to annoy zil so bad with his brushing off zil's concerns, but now if astarion tries that, he'll just get a "stop fucking around and let me help" look from him. zil also gets annoyed when he's being too much of a loudmouth at inappropriate times.
#GrandRevel Day#10: ANNOYANCE

What annoys your Tav about their friends or partner? What annoys them about your Tav?

They snore, leave their clothes everywhere, picky eater, etc?

🍓 Bonus: what is something they may do to playfully annoy each other?

#GrandRevel Day#9: GROWTH

the changes are more than physical, but i love seeing what i've crafted for him before, during, and after the game.

from the bhaalspawn who was destined to end the world to just zilaref, a man trying to find his place in the world and atone for all his sins.

#GrandRevel Day#8: CONFLICT

it almost did end their relationship. it's in my WIP fic, but basically, a year or after the game, zil's self-worth issues surfaced and they made him feel like he was holding astarion back. it was just the two of them on the road and it seemed like it'd stay that way.
#GrandRevel Day#8: CONFLICT

What causes conflict between your Tav and their partner/friends?

Think more ‘this could end their relationship’- finances, family, jealousy, unmet expectations, chores, kids, etc

🍓 Bonus: What do they do to resolve these conflicts?

#GrandRevel Day#7: FORMAL

depends where the party takes place. zil most definitely tries to stay on theme or just dress like the locals.

if it's a malatran party, he and astarion would probably be dressed in complete baju melayu (literally 'malay garment/shirt') sets like on the right.

#GrandRevel Close out #bg3 #tav

For Rach, nothing I didn't already know, as they're my self-insert, lol!
#rach

For Lu, however, I learned they're very loyal and value those around them. Lu sees Gale as if he's hung the moon and stars. It's adorable. Also, Astarion is their platonic boo. #lucifael

#GrandRevel #tav #durge #oc Something new

Every day of this has been a revelation of smaller or bigger kind. ESPECIALLY how Darius handles, or doesn't handle, grief.
🍓Darius connects by being a flirt. Always a flirt. Also with his lovers.

It's been fun, thank you, Ren ❤️

4/4

🍓If Darius is the one leaving, we may hope that Astarion and Halsin got each others' backs.
Dying before any of them is Darius's plan anyway.

3/4

If they've "only" broken up with him, are no longer loving him and his presence, he'll wallow in his own grief and self-harm until numb.
Abdirak, poor man, takes on the task of getting him back up, maybe even daring to love him.

2/4

He'll spiral out of control and chase his own death, finding the riskiest, deadliest quest to undertake. Of course, he'd never go down without a fight, failing his "mission" several times.
-Maybe- he'll let friends in an try help him in his grief.

1/4

Darius would break if both his lovers die before him. This is NOT according to his plan! They were supposed to be with each other after HIS death, not leaving him alone!

#GrandRevel Day#28: DEPARTED

Lily would be very hurt if her loved ones decided to depart from her, but she would respect their decision (if they are happy, she is happy, even if they no longer want to be with her).

In case one of her friends died, she would mourn their loss for quite some time+
#GrandRevel Day#28: DEPARTED

Your Tav’s partner/friend has departed them, how do they react? What does life become for them? Do they move on?

[this doesn’t have to mean death it can mean a break up]

🍓 Bonus: if your Tav leaves/dies, how would their partner react?

#GrandRevel day 28: Departed

#Lee is inconsolable for at least a few months over the death of a friend, then gradually starts to move on. She wouldn't know how to move on if Astarion broke up with her, though.

#GrandRevel day 27: Needs

#Lee needs attention more than she lets on, but she's too scared to go very far to indulge it--but Astarion tries to talk her into drawing out her ability to ask for things like that.
#GrandRevel Day#27 NEEDS

What are your Tav’s needs? What lengths will they go to meet them? Are they flexible on any? Do their needs impact their partner/friends/quest?

🍓 Bonus: What are their dietary needs? Anything that weirds out their partner?

#GrandRevel day 26: Belief

#Lee believes that everyone is going to leave at a moment's notice. They believe she's kind but very naive and unaware of how the world actually works--which is true, she's been very sheltered.
#GrandRevel Day#26: BELIEF

What does your Tav believe about their partner/friends? What do they believe about your Tav?

Do they believe they’re lost souls in need of guidance? Irredeemable? Naive?

🍓 Bonus: Religion-does their belief system impact their partner?

And as #GrandRevel closes, I bring you one last prompt 💜

What did you learn about your Tav/Durge you didn’t already know?

Whether by death or breakup, Alister would be lost without Astarion. He’s formed his entire life around being with his love, without Astarion he has no purpose. If Karlach is still around, he’d try to lean on her, but it wouldn’t work. Alister would+

Dekkion would certainly be crushed if his closest friends in the party were killed. It would be another thing he tamps down, & he would become even more closed off & reluctant to befriending new people. He would views their deaths as him being punished+

Tav won’t admit it to himself or anyone else, but he could probably eventually cope with the loss of anybody in his party—except Gale. Losing his partner would be an irrevocably crushing blow, and he may never fully recover from the grief. He would obv grieve the others+

If Gale left them, whether because the relationship ended or he died, Lu would be devastated. It would take Lu a long time to move on or open up to love again.

Lu would leave and go adventuring with Astarion to distract themselves.

#GrandRevel Day 7: Formal

Lyria and Astarion are turning up dressed to impress, in outfits he tailored, but also to blend in with the nobles. Who they will rob extensively of their coin and shinies. They may sneak in a dance or two, as they are there to have fun as well! 💃
#Lyria #Astaria
#GrandRevel Day#7: FORMAL

Your Tav and their +1 are invited to a formal event - How are they dressing and what kind of party goer are they?

Are they pleasure seeking, merrymaking, or here to imbibe? 🍷
