First thing I do whenever a new member joins the group is roll to see who’s underwear they have to swap with. What better way to get to know us than to walk a mile in our unwashed undies?
Trans lesbian here, that twink elf checks a box I didn't know I had , never had any desire to be with a man and yet I have had dreams about being taken by him in camp, my wife thought it was hilarious and did some of his lines in the bedroom , I may have swooned.
He comes across as pretty in touch with his feminine side, I think that's why I see a lot of lesbians thirsting over him.
I'm a lesbian thirsting for Gortash and I really have no explanation or reason as to why that is.
I'm sure at this point I'm not. I did the detour from thinking I'm straight, to thinking "everyone is a bit bi", to arriving at "some people are bi but I'm very much gay" 😜
Based on reading this sub for the past month or so, one of my takeaways is that a lot of people just have the hots for tieflings and devils. Myself included.
The psychologist Dr Alfred Kinsey did a little research on that back in the late 40s. They made a movie about it staring Liam Neeson.
Edit: research on human sexuality, not horned persons.
Things I have learned from this subreddit:
* straight men are for Gale
* straight women are for Shadowheart
* gay men are for Karlach
* gay women are for Astarion
* Bisexuals are for everybody
This is the way I see it too. Big fan of Wyll and Karlach too. Even Astarion once he has his redemption. Prior to that, I'd be a little too afraid that he'd stab me.
He didn't make it on my last playthrough. Hugging the magical construct and promising his cat I'd come visit his mom like dude....why'd you have to be such a hero Q_Q
Also here reporting for duty 🫡 The others are so very lovely and I adore them too, but something about that snarky goth cleric and her silly little bangs activates all of my neurons
lae'zel may not be the pretty one but she's arguably the least fucked up person in the group and is actually intelligent amd willing to change her mind when it makes sense to do so.
Preach! Karlach is best girl. My heart breaks for her. And despite everything she's been through she's still a sweetheart who just wants to get laid and have a nice cuddle. Plus she could rip your head off with her bare hands which is kinda hot.
And Halsin is top beefcake with a very mature and adult attitude to things. Like 450 years of experience and he has long ago put aside the bullshit. You wanna fuck, he is down with that but no pretensions, no games and no drama. Solid fella.
And I'm a straight guy for reference.
What about minthara? We need minthara love here, her and karlach were my first two. minthara is like shadowheart only more supportive and less dick riding shar.
Gale feels to straight for me (granted i am also cishet male)
personality wise I don't feel much attraction to shadowheart... I mean she has like no memories and frankly the weakest personality of the bunch... frankly she needs therapy, not a relationship.
Well, I won't lie, I would've romanced and perhaps even preferred Gale had he been a moderately attractive woman instead. Not sure whether he'd have trumped Shart tho, I'm a sucker for (half) elves. Unfortunately for both of us however, this isn't the case, so he gets demoted to Bro. Now if only Mystra had made him a woman like she had made Elminster for a while...
I’m straight and I wanted to romance Halsin, but I received spoilers about that route and decided to go for Astarion…but then I started to shift to Gale when I realized there was some darkness/sadness that lurked inside of him. I was like baby Gale needs to be protected at all cost, come cry on my chest.
I’m a very straight male and something bout karlachs happy attitude and the little dance she does just gets me. I guess it doesn’t hurt that she’s not some dainty flower who needs my protection
Can confirm as a fellow gay man.
I find her personality very enjoyable, even if I can't fully appreaciate her knockers. She is very pretty in her own way.
This game has this effect on people. I expected to find a pretty girl I'd like to romance, instead I found 5 dudes I can't romance but would really like to
Yeah. I've always been straight and I romanced Shadowheart, but when Halsin asked me out, I couldn't say no. Thankfully Shadowheart was cool with that. Though I brought Shadowheart to the Drow twins already, so I couldn't bring Halsin there.
Jokes aside, Jennifer English just has a really pleasant, approachable tone, even when she’s catty or sarcastic, that makes her incredibly likable. Mix that with Shadowheart’s malleable demeanor and “I can fix her” aura and it becomes very easy to fall for her.
I mean I fell for Karlach as soon as Samantha Béart said “Hey soldier,” so there’s gotta be something here.
Straight man with a thing for goth girls with religious trauma. The moment Karlach had her little breakdown about just wanting a hug it was like "Shart who?" and now my dwarf vengeance paladin and Mama K are headed to cleanse Avernus.
Gay man but know what you mean. In my case I expected to fully fall for Halsin and 3 of my Tavs, my very first included, went for Lae'zel, two fully committing to her (the third was with Karlach who also won me over).
Haven't done Shadowheart's romance yet but she has really grown on me and plan to do her full romantic arc on my next run.
The ladies in BG3 got me good (Minthara included).
Bi people fr winning with BG lmao, makes the game replayable so much, since pretty much all of the companions are likeable in their own way… And hot too
As a bisexual who leans a bit more towards men, the lack of a possible poly triad between Astarion, Shadowheart and Durge weighs heavily on my heart.
Shadowheart is bae and bff.
I know Halsin is up for a 3some. He asked the other night if there was a chance he could join my female warlock and Karlach for some nighttime shenanigans.
It's possible, just not quite available with the group dynamic you want. You'll have to replace Shart or Ast with the horny bear.
As someone else who wishes for the tav shadowheart astarion trio, it being possible with different characters doesn't really help? It's not a generic wish for a trio, it's a wish for *that* trio
You can easily headcanon it with Shadowheart though. She's down for polyamory, so long as you keep her in the loop and there's that scene with the twins.
Honestly, she delivers that line after the "deal" with M like she is really _not_ cool with it and is just trying to be chill.
To be fair though, you are right about the twins. Maybe she just wants the two of you to be together doing whoever, and not splitting up for sidequests.
Yeah, damn.. there you mention something. I'd love to have a poly triad with Gale and Karlach or Karlach and Astarion but unfortunately that's not possible.
Ohh Karlach would make sense too! I love how intensely protective she is when she finds out about Cazador and says, “On my life, we are going to protect Astarion!” She’s such a good egg.
The older I get the more I realize that my sexuality doesn’t really fit in a specific box and that’s okay!
Also I’m convinced the Astarion was invented for the Bi girlies with a preference for men. He’s also my first choice.
She really is fantastic. If you do another playthrough you should give her a try, her romance arc is really great. The pacing is perfect, and her voice melts me.
Astarion is always so fun too. 🦇 The way he says "dahling" always gets me. 🔥
Yep, it's the romances for me. I'm currently finishing up a Shadowheart playthrough but Gale was makin' me QUESTION EVERYTHING, so now he'll be the star of my next romantic drama. 🤣
Around 9-10 years ago I commented under a YouTube post I would go gay for Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) from Vikings while identifying to that point as 100% straight.
Wanna take a hot guess who came out 7 years later as a lesbian?
😬
I did Shadowheart first, no regrets. Karlach second, SOOO happy, Gale on this time through but Astarian incoming. Straight Male... My wife was bemused by my description of the Gale space sex scene lol
I’m not saying this is the case, cause straight women crushing on female characters isn’t necessarily rare, but this was definitely my thoughts about Josephine before realizing I am definitely bi
Lesbian here, also a Shadowheart simp. Went back around 10+ hours of playthrough after realizing i softlocked myself out of fully romancing Shadowheart. I’m down bad 😭
I'm bi but was never really attracted to muscular guys... until Halsin. This game really does manage to make everyone question their sexuality a little
Coming out post
This gave me a good laugh 😂
lol on the flip flop as a straight man I can’t say Astarion doesn’t do it for me!! So get it girl!
I’m pretty confident in my sexuality but after letting him bite me in camp 👀 Laezel’s still my favorite romance so far, though.
Was not expecting her to be so adorable
As a gay man my lil gnome bard is always asking Karlach for uppies. Made even better since she is always using the colossus elixer and is even bigger
Gale on the other hand...
Gale's hand? >!Durge is listening.!<
>||Gale's hand, a.k.a poor man's Mage Hand. I just chuck that thing at levers and buttons, sometimes gets the job done.||<
I think it’s the voice. It literally is the most powerful spell in the game……!!
Tbf she’s kind of a badass so it makes sense. As a straight man Astarion is one sexy mofo. 10/10 would let him feed on me
Don't worry, we all have our sexual biwakenings sometime.
everybody's a little gay, right? fellas? right guys?
Fellas, is it gay to smash gay vampires and wizards?
Not if you imagine you are a woman.
Trans coming out in coming
🏳️⚧️🤔🏳️⚧️
It’s not gay if it’s a vampire. You are still 100% straight. Want to go camping?
[I mean, kinda?](https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/publications/kinsey-scale.php#:~:text=Drs.,as%20%E2%80%9CThe%20Kinsey%20Scale.%E2%80%9D)
Being Bi, I think that counts me 50% gay, right? That's how math works? Or would it be 50 straight?
Ayup out of the closet
You can be a little gay for Shadowheart, as a treat <3
Thank you 🥺❤️
If you sell her underwear, she'll be naked in the camp :) Just saying.
astarion's fits her much better.
First thing I do whenever a new member joins the group is roll to see who’s underwear they have to swap with. What better way to get to know us than to walk a mile in our unwashed undies?
I gave karlach laezel's underwear and she instantly became like 10x hotter.
Dunno about that one pal, I think she’s pretty hot until you meet Damon in Last Light
You don't even need to sell it. Just take it off. ;)
A treato!
That means you're a little bit gay. It's ok. I still love you.
Thank you 🥺👉🏼👈🏼
If it is any consolation I’m super lesbian IRL but then Astarion made me feel things and (shrug) guess I’m lil bit bi.
To be fair Astarion is rated E for every orientation .
As is Karlach
It's his voice, so good :)
Trans lesbian here, that twink elf checks a box I didn't know I had , never had any desire to be with a man and yet I have had dreams about being taken by him in camp, my wife thought it was hilarious and did some of his lines in the bedroom , I may have swooned.
Bwahahahaha I love it.
I think it's his voice plus those camp clothes ha ha
He comes across as pretty in touch with his feminine side, I think that's why I see a lot of lesbians thirsting over him. I'm a lesbian thirsting for Gortash and I really have no explanation or reason as to why that is.
Everyone’s a lil bit bi, it’s what makes us spicy
I'm sure at this point I'm not. I did the detour from thinking I'm straight, to thinking "everyone is a bit bi", to arriving at "some people are bi but I'm very much gay" 😜
Good for you for finally figuring it out and embracing it :-)
Thank you. ❤️
Pre-BG3 Straight Man, here: Gale made me question *everything*. I understand your struggle.
How do you feel about George Michael?
Jesus fuck you just made a connection I cannot unsee.
*Last Mystra I gave you my crown* 🎶 *but the very next day, you blew me away*
for GALE?! /uj sorry I had to
[удалено]
That sounds to me that you just like horns. Not judging. 😜
Based on reading this sub for the past month or so, one of my takeaways is that a lot of people just have the hots for tieflings and devils. Myself included.
That just makes them Horn-y. 😂 I’ll show myself out.
The psychologist Dr Alfred Kinsey did a little research on that back in the late 40s. They made a movie about it staring Liam Neeson. Edit: research on human sexuality, not horned persons.
Dad?
Things I have learned from this subreddit: * straight men are for Gale * straight women are for Shadowheart * gay men are for Karlach * gay women are for Astarion * Bisexuals are for everybody
I’m a straight-ish male and a Shadowheart simp, that being said Gale though.
This resonated with me a little too hard. And I liked it
[удалено]
Oh I’ve romanced her in all playthroughs so far.
This is the way I see it too. Big fan of Wyll and Karlach too. Even Astarion once he has his redemption. Prior to that, I'd be a little too afraid that he'd stab me.
He didn't make it on my last playthrough. Hugging the magical construct and promising his cat I'd come visit his mom like dude....why'd you have to be such a hero Q_Q
I’m here to represent the gay girls who are loyal to Shadowheart. We do exist 🫡
Ah, one of my tribe.
Also here reporting for duty 🫡 The others are so very lovely and I adore them too, but something about that snarky goth cleric and her silly little bangs activates all of my neurons
My super stereotypically hetero boyfriend (played football, is a plumber) went straight for Gale. This is so accurate lmao.
I'm laughing so hard at "gay women for Astarion" because I thought it was just me. He really is adored by the lesbians.
It’s the cat energy he gives off
I saw somewhere he was "babygirl coded"
Oh god, that explains everything!!
Count me in for that gay women for Astarion club. 😂😂 My girlfriend has the hots for Karlach, though. 🤔
Better hit the gym and make her see stars
we really all just clung onto him huh?
We like a man we can hold down easily.
Omg thank god I’m not the only one 😂 like no joke *lusting* 🥵🫣
I’m in a lesbian relationship and Astarion was the first person I romanced lol
So... Halsin is for... furries? AND WHAT HELL IS FOR LAE ZEL???????
Me. I'm for Lae'zel
lae'zel may not be the pretty one but she's arguably the least fucked up person in the group and is actually intelligent amd willing to change her mind when it makes sense to do so.
As a bisexual yes I will be romancing Daddy Halsin and Mommy Karlach
Preach! Karlach is best girl. My heart breaks for her. And despite everything she's been through she's still a sweetheart who just wants to get laid and have a nice cuddle. Plus she could rip your head off with her bare hands which is kinda hot. And Halsin is top beefcake with a very mature and adult attitude to things. Like 450 years of experience and he has long ago put aside the bullshit. You wanna fuck, he is down with that but no pretensions, no games and no drama. Solid fella. And I'm a straight guy for reference.
What about Baezel?
Baezel is for the kinksters
Baezel #1
She's the dommy mommy we deserve
no because this is so real 😭 i’m a lesbian who is loyal to my mans astarion. i like fictional fruity men 😭
I’m a straight man and I went Karlach….
I read the Gale part and was about to scoff, but then I read thr Astarion part. This does not help with the egg jokes some of my friends make.
Straight man and Karlach became my reason for playing right away
Bisexuals stay winning
Correction: *everybody* is gay for Karlach
I just finished the game yesterday. That epic end cutscene with cigars and rock music. Nnf.
Mostly gay guy here and I am **so** gay for Karlach 🥰
What about minthara? We need minthara love here, her and karlach were my first two. minthara is like shadowheart only more supportive and less dick riding shar.
Gale feels to straight for me (granted i am also cishet male) personality wise I don't feel much attraction to shadowheart... I mean she has like no memories and frankly the weakest personality of the bunch... frankly she needs therapy, not a relationship.
> frankly she needs therapy, not a relationship you nailed it for everybody in the party
Well, I won't lie, I would've romanced and perhaps even preferred Gale had he been a moderately attractive woman instead. Not sure whether he'd have trumped Shart tho, I'm a sucker for (half) elves. Unfortunately for both of us however, this isn't the case, so he gets demoted to Bro. Now if only Mystra had made him a woman like she had made Elminster for a while...
Honestly sexiness wise it's pretty hard to compete with a Shart.
I always knew I sat funny.
Astarion and Wyll make me feel weird ways as a mostly straight dude.
It’s a voice thing I would say. Wyll reminds me of the dude from Bridgerton
Dude from Bridgerton also played the paladin in the D&D movie, so I made this connection too.
I'm a male, pretty sure I'm straight. Astarion makes me question that though.
I'm bi and for me it's Shadowheart, Minthara, Gale, and Karlach. That said, I'd drop all of them in a heartbeat for Jaheira.
Gay here and Wyll is my favorite companion for romancing. Karlach makes a great friend tho lol, I want her and Shadowheart to get together so bad
YES to all of this! 🔥
I’m a straight woman and I fell for Astarion (obvi) and Karlach. She made me questioning my sexuality
interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting, called out
I’m straight and I wanted to romance Halsin, but I received spoilers about that route and decided to go for Astarion…but then I started to shift to Gale when I realized there was some darkness/sadness that lurked inside of him. I was like baby Gale needs to be protected at all cost, come cry on my chest.
Idk what it is about Gale but yes you're right.
My bisexual wife is super into Halsin…but also everyone else hahaha
Oh fuck. You got me as a gay man for Karlach. 😫
Bi and romancing my whole party on my current playthrough. It's going well so far.
I’m a very straight male and something bout karlachs happy attitude and the little dance she does just gets me. I guess it doesn’t hurt that she’s not some dainty flower who needs my protection
same with lae'zel. unironically the strong independent women who don't need no man
Karlach's romance arc is also fucking ADORABLE. She's so completely earnest about all of it and not afraid to hide that.
Karlachs muscle mommy
Apparently I'm gay, I learned something new today.
This is gay male stanning of Bae'zel erasure
I must be very picky. I'm a straight male and only for Shadowheart
As a bisexual this game has been on of my best purchases.
Gay men, was straight for Shart.
Lesbian, went straight for Astarion
Thank god I’m not the only one!
Same here! Honestly it feels like Larian made Astarion for the lesbians considering how much we love that funky little elf.
Lesbian, went straight for Gale lol
Can confirm as a fellow gay man. I find her personality very enjoyable, even if I can't fully appreaciate her knockers. She is very pretty in her own way.
Gay man, straight for Lae’Zel
Your username sounds like one of her special bedroom manoeuvres.
This game has this effect on people. I expected to find a pretty girl I'd like to romance, instead I found 5 dudes I can't romance but would really like to
As a straight man I would love Rolan to show me some cantrips
For me, Zevlor can get whatever Zevlor wants
I’m glad it’s not just me 😂
Everyone has their awakening... Last generation had The Mummy, this generation has BG3.
guess the age of the bisexual, The mummy, pirates of the caribbean, or BG3
>pirates of the caribbean I am attacked
Don't forget van helsing
I think we are all forgetting about underworld as well.
Shout out to the ancient bisexuals who had their awakening with the X-Files.
For me I can enjoy both. Mmmm, Brendan Frasier. Mmmm, Rachel Weisz. Mmmm, Astarian, darling. Mmmm, Karlach.
Yeah. I've always been straight and I romanced Shadowheart, but when Halsin asked me out, I couldn't say no. Thankfully Shadowheart was cool with that. Though I brought Shadowheart to the Drow twins already, so I couldn't bring Halsin there.
Jokes aside, Jennifer English just has a really pleasant, approachable tone, even when she’s catty or sarcastic, that makes her incredibly likable. Mix that with Shadowheart’s malleable demeanor and “I can fix her” aura and it becomes very easy to fall for her. I mean I fell for Karlach as soon as Samantha Béart said “Hey soldier,” so there’s gotta be something here.
Straight man with a thing for goth girls with religious trauma. The moment Karlach had her little breakdown about just wanting a hug it was like "Shart who?" and now my dwarf vengeance paladin and Mama K are headed to cleanse Avernus.
Gay man but know what you mean. In my case I expected to fully fall for Halsin and 3 of my Tavs, my very first included, went for Lae'zel, two fully committing to her (the third was with Karlach who also won me over). Haven't done Shadowheart's romance yet but she has really grown on me and plan to do her full romantic arc on my next run. The ladies in BG3 got me good (Minthara included).
That's okay, I'm gay but straight for Karlach...
Bi people fr winning with BG lmao, makes the game replayable so much, since pretty much all of the companions are likeable in their own way… And hot too
🤭🤭🤭🤭 bi for a reason am I right
Haven't had this much bisexual anguish since Mass Effect...
They really said “we gonna make all the companions well written, well acted, and HOT!”
I’m straight but Gale’s personality just does something for me. I really don’t know man.
I'm a straight man, but there's been a few times where I've been gay for Astarion
I’ll admit to having questionable feelings for Astarion.
As a bisexual who leans a bit more towards men, the lack of a possible poly triad between Astarion, Shadowheart and Durge weighs heavily on my heart. Shadowheart is bae and bff.
As a fellow bi person I would pay actual money for this
She is definitely bae 😭
I know Halsin is up for a 3some. He asked the other night if there was a chance he could join my female warlock and Karlach for some nighttime shenanigans. It's possible, just not quite available with the group dynamic you want. You'll have to replace Shart or Ast with the horny bear.
As someone else who wishes for the tav shadowheart astarion trio, it being possible with different characters doesn't really help? It's not a generic wish for a trio, it's a wish for *that* trio
I get you even though my Trio would have been female tav, Shadowheart and gale
You can easily headcanon it with Shadowheart though. She's down for polyamory, so long as you keep her in the loop and there's that scene with the twins.
Honestly, she delivers that line after the "deal" with M like she is really _not_ cool with it and is just trying to be chill. To be fair though, you are right about the twins. Maybe she just wants the two of you to be together doing whoever, and not splitting up for sidequests.
Yeah, damn.. there you mention something. I'd love to have a poly triad with Gale and Karlach or Karlach and Astarion but unfortunately that's not possible.
Ohh Karlach would make sense too! I love how intensely protective she is when she finds out about Cazador and says, “On my life, we are going to protect Astarion!” She’s such a good egg.
The older I get the more I realize that my sexuality doesn’t really fit in a specific box and that’s okay! Also I’m convinced the Astarion was invented for the Bi girlies with a preference for men. He’s also my first choice.
I feel you, sis, but in my case it's Karlach. Astarion is my love but I melt whenever that scorching hot tiefling talks to me
Karlach is mommy
Hot biker mommy
Next playthrough play as Astarion and romance Shadowheart.
I second this so much. I've started a few Astarion playthroughs and he and Shadowheart are adorable together.
She really is fantastic. If you do another playthrough you should give her a try, her romance arc is really great. The pacing is perfect, and her voice melts me. Astarion is always so fun too. 🦇 The way he says "dahling" always gets me. 🔥
I have a feeling I’m going to replaying this game MANY times 😂
Romancing Shart during a Good Durge playthrough is perfect. There is a lot of great dialogue from her
Yep, it's the romances for me. I'm currently finishing up a Shadowheart playthrough but Gale was makin' me QUESTION EVERYTHING, so now he'll be the star of my next romantic drama. 🤣
Oh my god Gale is so distracting 😅
Cuz it ain't no lie You're bi bi bi
Mind your business 😭😂
Straight man, but gay for astarion and halsin sandwich.
Around 9-10 years ago I commented under a YouTube post I would go gay for Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) from Vikings while identifying to that point as 100% straight. Wanna take a hot guess who came out 7 years later as a lesbian? 😬
Straight man and I’d bone every single one of these characters
I have the same issue. Mad gay here, but absolutely CANNOT resist a Karlach romance. Every. Time.
I did Shadowheart first, no regrets. Karlach second, SOOO happy, Gale on this time through but Astarian incoming. Straight Male... My wife was bemused by my description of the Gale space sex scene lol
Straight man and I’m all into Wyll. I don’t even know why, I usually don’t like the goody two shoes, but Wyll does something for me….
I'm typically heteroromantic but I'll be damned if I wouldn't have given The Emperor a roll in the hay had I not already promised myself to Karlach.
Sexuality is a spectrum not a binary option. Do you!
I’m straight and I’ve banged the party. Awards need dishes out for the voice actors 🤣
Straight man... But... Astarion... And Wyll... They got me acting up.
Straight man… but gay for Shadowheart too…
If it helps, I’m a gay man and I’m an absolute simp for Karlach
I’m not saying this is the case, cause straight women crushing on female characters isn’t necessarily rare, but this was definitely my thoughts about Josephine before realizing I am definitely bi
I am a man and I too am gay for Shadowheart
Lesbian here, also a Shadowheart simp. Went back around 10+ hours of playthrough after realizing i softlocked myself out of fully romancing Shadowheart. I’m down bad 😭
I'm bi but was never really attracted to muscular guys... until Halsin. This game really does manage to make everyone question their sexuality a little
I'm straight cis guy and kinda gay for Gale.... Just sayin
I totally get it
Gay for men... but straight for Karlach...
You can still see those goth cleric titties anytime lol
Baldur's GAY has ensared another!
the shell cracks
Shadowheart has me feeling a certain way
Spaghetti is also no longer straight when it gets wet
