After Seeing Your Durgetash Asks, Especially About How They'd React If The Other Got Captured, I Have

After seeing your Durgetash asks, especially about how they'd react if the other got captured, I have to imagine it's something of a game to them. Like, either Gortash or Jacq get captured and are hamming it up as a stereotypical damsel while they wait for the other to come rescue them. There's never any real worry about them getting hurt as they slaughter whoever tried to capture them before getting freaky on their corpses.

hello there Anon, sorry for the late reply, i'm so sorry 😭

but I really like the idea, even if the kidnapped part is all Gortash (who in his right mind would kidnap a massive tiefling with omicide aura ? and of course, nobody would.), while the hurt part is mostly Jacq(he does go berserk when he is bloodthirsty, even if he isn't a barbarian).

as a totally normal and not creepy way, Jacq know were Gortash is, and he always goes and save him, so many times that Gortash doesn't care anymore about the danger of it .

here a scene I imagined:

Wait, you do know it's literally impossible for Mystra to have groomed Gale, right?

hello Anon, thanks for the question, and, my idea of grooming on Gale's relationship with Mystra is kinda complicated, ear me out:

first thing first, Gale was a prodigy even as a young boy, and we understand that as a magician (similar to all the people who follow a religion) he worshipped Mystra, and she was always a presence in his life.

people will say that just because he was an adult, the grooming part doesn't count, but this is wrong.

Grooming someone mean that we have power over him, influence, and we have a big part on the shaping of the mind of the person, and Mystra did all those things (remember Gale have a deep bond with the weave than others), maybe not necessarily over present when Gale was a child, but more than there when he became her lover.

the power dynamic in their relationship was deeply unbalanced, she had all the power, while he was literally at her hands and feet to worship her.

Gale had so much stress, feeling never enough , and we see that if we try to romance him, he is trying so much to impress TAV/DURGE, because he believe he need to do more(after all, romancing a litteral god...lot of stress).

because is feeling of not enough that he will absorb the globe and Mystra will chase him away like nothing, and don't let me start when she ask him(not really her, she send someone else to tell him, like sending a sms, what a bitch, do it yourself coward) to kill himself like he meant nothing.

this is shadow grooming and nothing will convince me differently.

Gift art for @taygra5shaon featuring their Dark Urge OC Jacq! This is my little thank you for when they drew Devlin. Honestly I think our Durge's would be friends.🖤 Also, Devlin totally ships Jacq x Gortash.

The Strike timeline

At the first one (and when he joins the cult) he's about nine and in events of bg3 he's thirty seven, he met Gortash at twenty two

Imagine a Bhaal and Fell sitcom style situation.

Where out of nowhere your favorite son stops wearing his executioner clothes and wears turtlenecks stating:

It's not a stage this is the real me. And if you'll excuse me, I'll go read stories to children in hospitals and donate to charities.

aaaanndd it is what happened, lol🤣🤣 it is actually really funny, good idea @popex-springpinter !

here what I have imagined:
