Former Senior Writer at Larian Studios, characters incl. Astarion (BG3) and Fane (DOS2). All views my own. I will like pictures of your pets. (cis: He/Him)
I’ve been on a bit of a break from social media, but wanted to say that after almost nine years of adventures, I recently left Larian Studios. It’s been a life-changing journey, and I’m forever grateful for the friends I’ve made along the way, but the time was right. (1/2)
Well, I'm a wreck😭😭😭
@NeilNewbon
, you deserve this and so much more. Thank you for the energy, passion, humour, and love that you gave Astarion. Working with you to bring him to life has been the privilege of a lifetime, and I'll be forever grateful ❤️
I'm beside myself, I have no words for how happy this made me.
@NeilNewbon
, you so, so deserve this. I've never had so much fun in this job as working with you, and I'm so glad the rest of the world gets to bask in your talent too.

@PitStopTweets
for allowing me to step into our world & play for four glorious years x what a gift it has been x
I’ll be taking some space to play around with my own silly projects for a while as I figure out what’s next for me. It’s a strange time, but I’m very excited for what the future might hold. ❤️(2/2)

"This one's less sexy, right?"
"WAY less sexy. We gave him slightly worse posture."
"Okay! Good start."
"And much wilder, more luscious hair."
"... Right."
"and then I added some chains and he's running his hand through his beautiful hair and-"
"... God damn it."
Today
#BaldursGate3
comes out after many years of blood, sweat, blood, tears, and blood. It's been a hell of a journey and I'm overwhelmed with love for the people I got to make this game with. I'm so proud of each and every person at
@larianstudios
, past and present.
You need to follow Rachel
@quirkiltons
if you don't already. Responsible for some of the best worst NPCs in BG3 like Auntie Ethel and Shovel, she's a ridiculous talent and is going to have some amazing books coming out soon.
After six years, I'm leaving Larian Studios 😭 It was a really hard decision, but I'm working on several books right now and balancing that with work was making my tiny goblin brain explode. My last day involved my studio head gifting me a paddling pool and dinosaur... 1/?
Today in ‘Mindblowing Shit I never Thought Would Happen’…
@NME
asked me to be their Boss Level interview for this month, so I had a natter with them about Baldur’s Gate 3, psychology and how I’m 100% done pretending to be normal.
Holy cow, look at these!!! Dispel Dice are responsible for some of the most beautiful dice that I own, so to see them riffing on Astarion is an actual dream come true 🥰😭🥰
🩸 The Pale Elf 🩸
Astarion's life is a series of Nat 1s.
Did you take pity on him & let him complete the ritual? 🫠
@larianstudios
Baldur's Gate 3 is ruining our lives & no work has gotten done at the Dispel since its release. Please let us make dice for you. 😭
Thank you so much to
@idlechampions
for having me on, and especially thanks to Lauren for such a wonderful interview! I had a blast talking about my terrible bitey child 😁
Only a couple days left to unlock Astarion, Brightswords ends on September 18th!

🩸 Astarion 🩸
A high-elf rogue who is also a vampire. He's centuries old and has a voice like silk. Can he be trusted?
Wash your hands for 20 seconds, folks. You can easily time it by:
- Counting to "20 Mississippi"
- Singing Happy Birthday twice
- Doing 2.5 soapy Macarenas
- Staring into the mirror and whispering 'Bloody Mary' until the veil is breached and the screaming begins.

If there's a truer depiction of Astarion vibes than him in a cursed dressing gown - *while wearing slippers with his own face on them* - I haven't seen it 🤷🏻♂️
The cobble streets! The smell of fresh blood in the air! Susan!
Astarion, Gale, Karlach and Shadowheart are finally home... which is where they've run into their doppelgangers.
Yep. Awks.
Watch Baldur's Gate 3: Launch Party now!
At the launch of Rachel ní Chuirc's book in beautiful Cahersiveen. Did it make me tear up within the first three chapters? Yes it did. Do I resent

We love your fan art very much! Here's a collection of some of our recent favourites:
🏴We should jump off this cliff.
🇬🇧 Hmm...
🇪🇺That’s not a good idea.
🏴There’s a big fluffy matress down there. And candy.
🇬🇧 Sold! Off we go.
🏴Oof, sorry, the matress is actually sharks.
🇬🇧 Oh.
🏴The candy is also sharks.
🇪🇺Guys...
🇬🇧No no, we said we’d jump...
Me: Busy day tomorrow. Best go to bed before midnight.
Brain: Oh.
Me: ...What?
Brain: it's just we had 'sitting up until 5am thinking about wind energy' scheduled for tonight.
Me: What?!
Brain: did you know you can make your own wind turbine from a vacuum engine?
Me: WHAT?!
How good is Overboard? Apparently it's so good you wake up at 4am thinking "Ohhh, what if I take the [REDACTED] and then [VERY REDACTED] that character?"
It's a [REDACTED] good game, folks.
🎉SURPRISE! 🎉
🌊⛴️🌊 OVERBOARD! 🌊🌊🌊✋
A replayable detective game - where you're the one whodunnit.
... So who will take the fall?

@levikra
Bittersweet endings? Inevitable betrayal?! What kind of monster do you think I am?
You're gonna feel so silly when Astarion defeats the forces of evil, saves everyone, learns a great new sourdough recipe, and then hops on his skateboard and kickflips away into the sunset.
For my birthday,
@larianstudios
got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad.✨🤍 It is so lifelike! We watched it over and over- Wait, what?
Oh dear.
OH NO!
My often-not-great mental health means it's easy to be sad. But today I'm feeling overwhelmingly grateful for the people I love, the friends I have, the job I adore, and the life I lead. I'm incredibly lucky. Thank you all for contributing to that.
@starshardtree
Congratulations, it's so well deserved! Only complaint is I'm disappointed we didn't get to see you on stage collecting the award - you were the best dressed person there XD
