I love oc/canon so much!

Ship Tournament, Round 2 — Match 9 / 15

Gale/Karlach

"they are both walking around with magical death devices in their chests trying to act like they’re fine about it. like sorry but the orb + infernal engine parallels are RIGHT there. two people who know what it feels like to have their own body turned into a countdown, still trying to be funny and useful and lovable through it."

"wizard who says “erm actually” x barbarian who can throw him over her shoulder when he gets too sad"

"gale: ah. a fascinating infernal mechanism, volatile but magnificent, housed within an equally magnificent— karlach: you’re staring at my tits, aren’t you gale: i was going to say “warrior,” actually, but now i fear the moment has rather escaped me anyway they’re both hot, doomed, funny, too willing to die for other people, and desperately in need of someone who will yell “NO MARTYRING” across camp. ship of all time."

vs. Shadowheart/Wyll

"I really like the Selunite Shadowheart version of this especially. Wyll’s whole thing is trying to be good even after being punished for it, and Shadowheart’s is trying to find herself after a goddess spent years cutting pieces away from her. They’d both understand what it’s like to have someone powerful claim ownership over your choices. There’s something soft in the idea of them post-game, maybe in Baldur’s Gate, trying to build something ordinary after all that divine/devil nonsense. Shadowheart with her animals and flowers, Wyll with his stories and dancing and stupidly earnest compliments. They’d still have scars, obviously, but I think they’d be careful with each other in a way that feels really earned."

i made these on my 15 :P

Professor… 🫠

Ship Tournament, Round 1 — Match 23 / 30

Jaheira/Nine-Fingers

"These two so obviously have some history. I'm not saying it's romantic or sexual history, but it's history, and that invites thought. There's some tension between them, that could be interesting in a romance."

"Jaheira calls her 'Astele'. Nine-Fingers left an offering for her."

vs. Gale/Minthara

"They’d challenge each other in places where they actually need it. Gale can get so wrapped up in guilt and grand gestures and magical destiny that he forgets he’s allowed to just live. Minthara would have absolutely no patience for him dressing self-destruction up as nobility. She’d call it wasteful, which is maybe the least comforting possible wording, but also exactly the kind of thing that would cut through his spiral. And Gale would push Minthara too, because he’s genuinely curious about people and he loves conversation and he can be very emotionally brave once he stops trying to turn everything into a speech. He’d ask questions she isn’t used to being asked by someone who isn’t trying to control her. I think she’d hate how much she likes having someone intelligent look at her and want to understand the person under the armour."

So here are those thoughts in the form of some sequential art.
