Pictures under the cut!

ty @chaushaus for the tag hehehee

👄 How do they refer to each other? (“This is my...” girlfriend, partner, fiancée, etc.) Tavvika uses partners, and loves and calls Gale husband, Gale calls Tavvika wife and Astarion love, Astarion calls them his loves or lovers.

🌟 What’s their celebrity couple/ship name?

Durge bloodweave, or bloodweave+tav

🌙 Night out or night in?

Both, all three are fairly introverted but Tavvika and Astarion both get antsy if they stay inside too long. Gale would happily never leave his tower if you let him.

💤 Sleep in, or up-and-at-’em?

Despite both being elves Gale is usually the one out of bed first, Astarion and Tavvika gladly take advantage of Gale's human sleep schedule to laze in bed.

🛌 Who hogs the blankets?

1000% Astarion not even a question.

😴 Who snores?

Gale. Astarion does purr though, as does Tavvika when she's in her big cat form (which is a Puma)

🚔 Who gets them both in trouble? What for?

Astarion, usually. But they're all their own particular flavor of trouble. Astarion is most guilty of general mischief (and crimes but he doesn't usually get caught for those) Gale magical shenanigans, usually because of or encouraged by Astarion. Tavvika usually gets in trouble for wild creatures being where they shouldn't be (either because it's her, or a summoned friend)

🥂 What do they do for date night?

Gale likes to take them to fun and interesting spots around Waterdeep related to their various interests. Tavvika likes to go on excursions in nature, Astarion enjoys going to fancy dinners or events and being an absolute nuisance while making sure Tavvika and Gale are both treated like royalty.

🎂 What do they do for their anniversary?

it hasn't happened yet (I haven't thought that far ahead yet lol) but Gale and Astarion probably turn it into a competition to outdo each other every time, Tavvika doesn't really think about it (and is likely to forget, she doesn't have the best grasp on the passage of time)

🎨 Any hobbies in common? What do they like to do together?

They all enjoy reading and Tavvika in particular loves learning new things, Gale loves to cook and one of his personal projects is to figure out a way to cook something Astarion can both consume and enjoy

☁ Who’s the big spoon? The little spoon? / What’s their favorite cuddle position?

Tavvika is usually the big spoon, though not usually in her elven form, Astarion is the littlest spoon. Tavvika likes to drape herself across both Gale and Astarion at any given opportunity, in any form which is sometimes very inconvenient. Gale likes both being held and holding his partners. Astarion loves being held but he's also the tallest of the three of them

😈 What’s their favourite other position?

Tavvika is usually passive either watching the other two or holding whoever is receiving. If she's an active participant she likes to be able to see her partners. Gale and Astarion both swtich regularly.

🍯 What cutesy nicknames (honey, sweetie, doll, etc.) do they have for each other?

Astarion has an endless supply of nicknames many of them interchangably between Tavvika and Gale, though he has one or two unique names for each of them Tavvika's are beastie, druid, and Tavvy, Gale's is just wizard. Gale and Tavvika both refer to Astarion as star or Aster (or bitey bastard if he's being a shit)

🌶 How often do they have sex?

Astarion and Gale have far higher sex drives than Tavvika does, so she's not often actively participating but Gale and Astarion are like rabbits once Astarion decides he wants to have sex again.

🔥 What’s their safe word?

They don't have specific ones but they use a form of traffic light system (fire - ice)

💖 What do they do that the other loves?

Astarion complains about it but he actually loves when Gale goes on about esoteric magical nonsense, as does Tavvika, Tavvika also loves when Gale teaches, either her or others. She also loves when Astarion takes care of her, usually by brushing her hair but in other ways as well. Gale loves watching Tavvika and Astarion whenever they're focused on something they enjoy (usually gardening for Tavvika and embroidery for Astarion)

🌹 Who was the first to say “I love you”? (How did that go over?)

And mean it? Tavvika. She told both of them the night she thought she was going to kill them losing herself to the urge.

💍 Who proposes? How? Gale proposed after the fall of the brain, Tavvika had no idea it was coming, Astarion did. He and Gale spoke about it at length before the final battle Astarion wasn't ready or comfortable with the idea of being married himself, after a long conversation and being reassured that their overall relationship wouldn't change; gave his blessing and helped Gale make it appropriately dramatic.

🌼 Kids, pets, or plants? How many?

They eventually have one kid (for now) and a small menagerie of pets, mostly cats but a few other small animals (such is being in love with a druid) There are also several gardens, both indoor and outdoor.

🕷 Who kills the spider?

Tavvika, though depending on the spider she might just convince it to go outside. If Astarion sees it first it's dying, immediately and with extreme prejudice. Gale might catch it for spell components.

Dollstarion update, I finished his colormatch, I think I did a pretty good job for my first attmept. unfortunately I have done crimes. I can't believe I did this to him

Some reference pictures for Tavvika because I realized I never posted any here (or if I did my blog ate them and I've been on this hell site too long to try and find them)
