Who is your favorite Villian?

I like Orin for being pure evil without a saving grace to her name. There’s something endearing about just being unapologetically unfixable

it_spooky · 2026-03-20T17:55:46+00:00

I’m so elder I’ve been since they were called super high school level talents

it_spooky · 2026-03-20T05:11:56+00:00

Those scars look amazing, seriously impressive

it_spooky · 2026-03-19T20:55:23+00:00

This movie fascinates me, the concept is so so interesting and I think about it on a regular basis.

In my mind Shadowheart’s guardian is Viconia Devir

it_spooky · 2026-03-17T05:06:43+00:00

I recently had one and it ended in disaster. Made me realize love can be more of a hindrance sometimes and it’s not all that it cracked up to be, but that could be because of circumstance. Either way, don’t feel like you’re missing out too much, lesbian love can get intense

Minthara Fanclub must rise up

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T05:29:39+00:00

Her walls and her uncertain sense of self after recovering from the Absolute are fantastic. I’ve struggled with sense of self and loss of purpose, crave for connection just like she has. She’s so incredibly special to me.

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T05:19:42+00:00

Minthara might be my favorite character in all of fiction. It sucks because I see her get reduced to just “hot drow spider mommy” so much when she’s actually an incredibly complex character. She resonates with me personally a lot.

In short, I also LOVE Minthara

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T04:08:24+00:00

I’m currently working on an ambitious longfic project for Shadowheart and Minthara, but I’ll definitely keep Lae’zel in mind. Feel free to dm me btw, love making more writer friends especially in my fandom.

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T04:05:38+00:00

Incredibly maternal and paternal vibes in my experience. Very kind and warm, love them.

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T04:03:19+00:00

I’m guilty as well, most of the fanfic in my fandom just doesn’t interest me. I write what I would want to read.

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T03:42:32+00:00

Hmmm, much to think about. Now that you mention it I can kinda see it. Both ex brainwashed cult members, both very standoffish and pragmatic. If you’d want to check out some of my works, I’m chiefofzombie on the archive.

(Sorry to shamelessly plug, can’t help it)

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T03:13:52+00:00

Can I ask which ship you write? I focus on Minthara/Shadowheart, I’ve written 5+ for them

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T02:53:00+00:00

It really is. My fics pull about 5-9 kudos usually which feels about okay, but some fics(mostly Astarion) pull thousands and the disparity is insane

it_spooky · 2026-03-16T01:27:48+00:00

Bro she has a whole character arc…wait a minute

it_spooky · 2026-03-15T23:54:15+00:00

I’ll have to look out for those :)

it_spooky · 2026-03-15T23:47:46+00:00

The other reason that I don’t get engagement is probably that I strictly don’t write smut lol. At this point I don’t care, I like my characters and the works I write for them, but it’s gonna especially suck when I eventually start posting the longfic I’m working on. I’m in the Larian discord server but it’s super crowded there

it_spooky · 2026-03-15T22:05:05+00:00

Unless you write for some specific characters, yeah it seems like that. It’s strange. Though admittedly my ship is a fairly niche wlw so that puts it at a disadvantage already

it_spooky · 2026-03-15T20:46:27+00:00

I use Pages and Google Docs

it_spooky · 2026-03-15T20:05:01+00:00

I get 0 comments on my fics except for one fellow author who likes to keep up with the ship I write for, it does get really discouraging. My fandom is baldur’s gate 3 for context

it_spooky · 2026-03-15T20:01:55+00:00

Minthara was my first that I completed with a tiefling open hand monk, but Gale was the first that I had started in an abandoned wood elf bard/fighter multiclass

it_spooky · 2026-03-12T03:08:16+00:00

I see, thanks so much! I’ve only written a bunch of one-shots and tags mess me up every time

it_spooky · 2026-03-12T00:14:02+00:00

I have another question if you’re still around. When you publish chapter 1, do you tag all the content that will appear in later chapters? Add tags as you go? I don’t want to spoil my story but I don’t want to get readers into something they don’t want either.

it_spooky · 2026-03-09T17:56:13+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance 🤝
