People who are chill and normal about camp chores: Gale, Shadowheart, Karlach, Wyll, Lae'zel*
People who whine about it: Astarion
*this one was a surprise to Ria until the whole military discipline thing clicked
#TavQotD How is laundry handled in your Tav/Durge's camp?
Ria picked up a washboard and basin as soon as she could. And soap. It's not so much that there's a chore rotation (Karlach is not on laundry duty ever on account of the fire hands) as a system. If you want to benefit, pitch in.

they do look the comfiest
#TavQotD Ellipsus challenge: place of birth
#TavQOTD Does your Tav/Durge curse a lot? Is 'fuck' a staple in their vocabulary? Or is the best they can do a well-placed 'blimey!'
Like a good bard who knows the importance of words, Ria swears with pinpoint precision, whether she's just going for emphasis, or for a full psychic damage nosebleed.
#TavQOTD BDSM archetype
Yeah, this a good fit for Ria

#nsfw #TavQotD If your Tav/Durge is dominant or dominant-leaning, shout them out here!
Anyway Ria doesn't have a submissive bone in her body
With more practice, they figure out how to balance feeling it with shutting themself down again.
The first person they mourn once they have the capacity is Alfira.
When they went back to Myrna's grave with flowers, they faked it. It felt weird and unnatural, and they did not like it, but they liked having the option cut off to them less. Bit by bit, they figured it out, and then it *hurt.*
They wouldn't give up feeling like a real person for anything, but OW
#tavqotd How do your Tav/Durge deal with grief?
Echo gets this one.
For a long time, they had no idea how to process grief because they didn't know how to feel it in the first place. They noticed in Grymforge looking at the gnomes and the fallen Justiciars and realized they could not feel anything
i wish i could convince myself that Ria has some sort of corsetry involved in her daily gear
i have an entirely genuine followup question.
are the people who answer "nah my tav/durge goes commando" saying this while remembering the impact of body on clothes directly? because I realize I think about this, but priorities may differ for others
oh my god the STANCE
1. why didn't the game give any bottoms only options?
2. MODDERS, WHERE ARE THE BOTTOMS ONLY OPTIONS????
a pale, white-haired tiefling with white hair in a bun. Her full-black eyes are surrounded by eyeliner that makes them appear larger, and she wears the spider-lip makeup. Her upraised horns mimic the shape of Hornet Silksong's mask.
Cannot stop thinking about Hornet Baldur's Gate 3
I have mixed feelings on it! Like... I used it for Echo because they're... like that.
...Anyway, i did sit up like a meerkat at 'medieval inspired bondage,' so have fun!!
Most of the underwear options in bg3
#TavQotD #NSFW What are your Tav/Durge's thoughts on the various in-game underwear options? Did they stick with their default?
Has Drow tried, if not the actual undies taken off Haarlep's corpse, underwear in that style?
Heck, you could, if you wanted, to a review comic of the various underwear styles in the game
#TavQotD Ellipsus challenge: gender
#TavQOTD What's your Tav/Durge's view on swearing?
Ria is a bard— words have their meanings and uses, and that includes profanity. She swears with pin-point precision. Other people's cursing does not phase her for the most part.
#tavqotd Ellipsus challenge 2: age
Oh this is a fun template...
Also, thank you for the kick in the pants to finally set up an ellipsus account
thank you 💜
#tavqotd What’s something about your Tav’s writing that you’re proud of?
All of it! I did a good job!!! Ria is layered, well-suited to the themes BG3 grapples with, funny, has a distinct voice... I really love her.
I'd love it if people checked out her fic!

ah fuck #TavQotD for the above!
I think I've seen... one server I don't run whose organization gets a passing grade. The most recent points deduction goes to 'semi-public server whose rules are tucked away in a thread under a category three from the top'
#GrandRevel Day#27: ART
For Ria by herself? I'd make a pitch for Waterhouse's "The Siren." Sure it's a bit on the nose. But... Come on.
I'll come back to this if I think of one for Ria and Astarion together
thank you for the data
or maybe my computer was just being a little shit?
