Tav: Dee - Tumblr Posts
*hands you my tavs* Would anyone want to ask any questions about them or possible doodle requests with them and the companions bc I want to Think about them and also I want to draw more about them and the companions but have no ideas
Left is Thalia my high elf storm sorc/tempest cleric and right is Dee my rock gnome wizard!!
(I also recently started an evil durge playthrough with my drow monk Felynual (Felony is her nickname) but have no pictures or doodles of her yet)
Please and thank youwu
Dee is so small and cute! Does she ever climb up on anything (or anyone) to feel tall?? And is she always the one who has to go into the little crevices and holes?
Oh absolutely she's the one to go into little crevices. She doesn't even need to be told a lot of the times - she sees a Dee-sized hole and just goes into it to explore. She's a very curious person in general so she just dives into things, forgetting that people can't follow her in so she has to go back out and find a different path with everyone else.
And for the feeling tall part, I did have this one little comic I wanted to make but gave up on so just have these cleaned up rough sketches. 100% she calls on Karlach to climb up on to feel tall and sometimes gets thrown by her to get to places she can't reach. A few broken bones won't stop her thirst for exploration and knowledge.
I was looking at some doodles I made back when I was doing my first playthrough with Dee and I just?? Help?? Astarion doing the Willem Dafoe whenever he has to talk to Dee because she's a gnome?
Also Dee hair was different back then she lacked braids :')
For the 2 or 3 people who listen to the lore of my tavs, something has been cooking in my mind for a bit.
Dee's an Astarionmancer. She does love him dearly, I love the two of them so much. Lawful good detective x chaotic vampire gremlin? I love it
But then I do imagine she held a lot of grief over not being able to dissuade Gale from pursuing the crown, especially when he didn't know much about it or how to even control it, so the moment he picked up the pieces of the crown he instantly died. When she met his image at the reunion party and realized that the consequence of not getting to know him well enough, of not letting him read about the Annals of Karsus, was that she wouldn't be able to stop him from pursuing the crown and dying alone, I think she'd live with that guilt for the rest of her life. She would learn to eventually live with it, forgive herself, and live out the rest of her life with Astarion and die of old age.
But then what if she gets reincarnated back in time, and she realizes she can get to know Gale this time around? Be a better friend, know him better, listen to him, and truly understand him in a way she never did back then. What if she realizes how much she missed out on his company? How much she'd actually come to enjoy it?
What if in this AU, she starts to develop feelings for him, too? And she holds back. She feels like she's betraying the love she had for Astarion, even though that life is over and has reached its natural end?
Angst brainworms in an alternate universe where Dee gets to redo everything she failed to do in her past life.
Either that, or the idea that Dee's grief over unintentionally killing Gale being so great, that this carried over to my next Galemancing tavs/durge with the strong urge to protect him and keep him safe. Her strong platonic love for Gale carried over to Thalia, to Calliope, to Stelle and bloomed into romantic love for them.
I love Dee, my first BG3 OC.
Might make a comic about this if my hand allows it.

Lore: She didn't let Gale come when we went into the vaults and read the Annals of Karsus, so when she couldn't stop him from pursuing the crown, Gale died as soon as he picked up the pieces from the water. (Actually happened in my game)
And I always believed she would never forgive herself for that. She'd carry that regret and grief with her for the rest of her life.

I failed the roll to stop Gale from pursuing the crown, and I didn't bother reloading it because I wanted to see where it goes, and, well, we know how it went :')
Gameplay-wise, it's because Dee's already a wizard that I decided not to bring Gale around, but I'm translating that as Dee never really spent enough time being his friend to be able to convince him not to go after the crown. They shared the Weave scene and the Act 2 blanket scene, but after that, she didn't spend much time with him.
She regrets not being a good enough friend to be able to dissuade him from going after the crown. (Even though I wanted to convey that that's not true. She was a good friend. Gale just couldn't be persuaded.)
Also I hope this is fine I honestly have not done comics until I started this tumblr and I'm just trying to figure things out as I go
