Post something random!
A photo of four very lovely chickens, all of them on different levels of their coop but all of them eyeing the photographer.

That's hard... did my best to narrow it down, got two solo and two shippy.

Here's Thomas! Two on his own, two with Gale. 💕

His eyes are closed as he leans into his hand. A BG3 screenshot of a human man lying down on a bedrobe; he is heavily freckled, his visible cheek heavily scarred, and has his long wavy hair tied back into a ponytail. He rests against his own hand and stares upwards, looking thoughtful, maybe troubled. His shirt was a pale blue and coat a darker blue.

The one on the right is heavily freckled, and has his long wavy reddish hair tied back into a ponytail; he wears silvery armour edged in black. His partner is Gale Dekarios, who wears robes in matching shades. They are facing one another and tucked closed, either about to kiss or just after, their gazes full of fondness.

He is being embraced from behind by his partner, to whom he has his head tilted and whom he smiles at. His partner is Gale Dekarios, who wears his classic camp clothing and looks content and happy.

Against a dark room, and a nighttime bedroom window through which the moon and some emerging stars sparkle, a human make Tav stands against a bed lit by the moonlight. He wears lacy boxers and nothing else, the many freckles all over his arms obvious, as his the shape of his handsome face and red, wavy hair tied back into a ponytail. At his side is a Gale Dekarios in dark underwear, who gently touches his partner's arm and smiles softly, his expression full of adoration. The mood is very gentle.

Was beyond ready for this one! Let's go with physical scar. As with most who grew up on the streets, Thomas has a lot of little scars all over... but his thickest, nastiest one covers one of his cheeks.

The in-game one I use for him does not do justice to how messy it truly is. [1/8]
A BG3 screenshot in B&W, showing a man from shoulders up. His eyes are closed as he leans into one hand, showcasing the jagged scar on his cheek. One can see many freckles on his face and shoulders.

How on earth? I think you know, friend. :) Your work is beautiful, and you've come very far very fast. It's been a joy to watch, so I hope you appreciate yourself as much as you do us followers.

And here, of course, my Tomlad. 💕

Tommy's backpack... assuming this is by Act 3.

Alongside any 'key' items? The Envoy's Amulet and Amulet of Restoration are always tucked in there! Alongside his poetry journal, his current book, a small sewing kit, a spare lockpick or two and assorted 'essentials.'

Notably? [1/2]
A BG3 screenshot; within, a redheaded human male Tav stares up to where the moon shines between cracks in the ruined buildings around him. He wears a blue coat, and his wavy locks are tied back into a ponytail.

I am more than happy to indulge in my lads. The B&W shot, simple as it is, is my favourite lighthearted one I've done of Thomas and Gale.
A B&W BG3 screenshot: Gale Dekarios, in his cam clothing, embraces a male human Tav from behind, their heads just tucked together. Both smile brightly. A BG3 screenshot focused closely on two men; on the left, Gale Dekarios in silver robes, and on the right, a redheaded human Tav with his wavy locks tied back in a ponytail. They stare fondly at one another. A BG3 screenshot focused closely on two men; on the left, Gale Dekarios in silver robes, and on the right, a redheaded human Tav with his wavy locks tied back in a ponytail. They are moments away from a kiss, still looking at one another just about but with heads tilted and Gale's hand on his partner's chin. A BG3 screenshot; two men sleep quietly, cuddled up, before a warm fireplace. It casts a soft yellow light over them. One, Gale Dekarios, lays on his back. His partner, a male human Tav with loose reddish hair, is tucked up beside and around Gale, holding on. They both are wearing trousers of a dark colour.

Throws this on here and flees to bed. ✨ Barely deserves the label it's been given but hey, shirtless, and Gale definitely has Intentions, so you know!

Another B&W work, hehe.

A BG3 screenshot. Two men embrace, both wearing dark trousers, though the one behind wears something a touch more elaborate. This is Gale Dekarios, who weaps one arm around his partner and holds their hands together from the embrace. Their other hands are held too! Gale is looking a touch devious, his partner, a curly-haired male Tav with a scarred cheek and many freckles, glances back in fond amusement.

It's gentle, it's warm, it's super heavy, and it's also, just a bit, very silly. :') Music travels fast, friends!
TEXT: This, though. Headstrong and resilient as she knew herself to be, Morena hadn’t really felt like getting swept up in it herself, not with how worn down the fear in her chest had left her. All she’d done was observe… until she heard the words ‘gale’ and ‘wizard’ in quick succession. Her first thought was that it was her mind playing hurtful tricks until the grinning bard launched deep into a verse concerning the ‘tempest he did raise’ in the heart of Baldur’s Gate. Not gale, but Gale. A magnificent and powerful wizard, raising a storm in the wake of victory over the Absolute’s threat. That the storm in question was quickly noted as a person was not something she thought about in that moment because the intense surge of hope almost knocked her off her feet. “Oh, Morena… dearest, don’t cry…”

A BG3 screenshot. On the left, a redheaded male Tav, his wavy hair is tucked back and his freckled cheek scarred; he has bandages over and along his torso, suggesting recent injury. His expression is soft as he gazes at his partner, Gale Dekarios, who looks back at him in a much more troubled manner. Their hands are raised and fingers intertwined.

A BG3 screenshot in black and white/greyscale, with a pop of colour in a yellow-gold. Against a black background we see a half-orc man, his beautiful golden eyes highlighed, looking upon the 'Blood of Lathander' mace as it glows bright within his hand. He looks unsure, maybe thoughtful, on the cusp of something.

Against a green background highlighted by a spotlight and surrounded by black, a tielfing man, strong and tall, stands poised and ready for a fight. He wears leather armour with a green cloth belt and holds two slightly glowing scimitars, one in each hand. His eyes are red, with black sclera, and he has a curling brown tattoo made of leaves on his neck that curls around his jaw.

Thomas's keyword is passion and passionate by nature he absolutely is.

The lad feels strongly, for good and for ill and all inbetween. It's part of why he's such a romantic, loving and compassionate lad... but also part of why he's so angry and can sometimes get bullheaded. [1/4]
BG3 greyscale screenshot; against a black background with one soft spotlight, a human male Tav stands with his head tipped towards a hand. The spotlight radiates behind his head and we see a thoughtful, quiet expression, eyes closed. The lad is covered in freckles, and his visible cheek is scarred below his eye and across his nose.

Warning for emotional and verbal abuse, here, though not detailed. This man here is Mathias Obelyn, Thomas's birth father. Tom ends up fighting terrifying things on the BG3 journey that stay with him for most of his life.

Not one of them makes Tom 'weak' like Mathias does. [1/?]

An edited BG3 screenshot, in tones of grey and blue. A human male Tav, his blue eyes highlighted by the colour palette, glances over his shoulder with a frown. His right hand holds an ornate silvery dagger, blue gems dotted along its length. Behind is a decorative sky of cloud and lightning at night.

Tom's a sorcerer by birth and a tadpole can't remove that... but it CAN fuck up your control of your magic and sense of it.

For him it felt like someone had taken this metaphorical tapestry of magic he'd woven together inside over many years and unpulled EVERY single thread. [1/7]
A redheaded young man with a scarred cheek raises his hand, looking at it with a frown. He wears leather and fur armour over blue cloth, and has an ornate silver dagger with blue inlay on his hip that you can see the grip of. Behind him, a background touched with lightning.

A BG3 merged image stylised like some kind of band's promotional image. On a black background, we see Wyll at the bottom, Lae'zel on the right side, Karlach on the top, and a redheaded male Tav on the left side. They are wearing modern clothing, and all but Wyll clutch instruments. Wyll is most definitely the lead singer. :) There's a soft red wash over them, though they wear a mix of blue and black.

Thomas grew up poor, and then became a missing person's investigator because he was pissed off that so few of those lower city cases were being looked into. He didn't even have the skills to start, had to develop them along the way.

Guess how he feels and is about politics. :')
A pained young man lays on a bedroll; his eyes are tightly closed in frustration and pain as he rests a head on his arm. His hair is long and wavy, tucked back, and his scarred cheek covered in freckles.

It's Thomas. That's not in any way in question. He's my favourite too, though, so I share so much more about him that it's natural. 😆
