Parsipan's one and only true fear is Orin. She's the only person he ever considers as being able to physically harm him, bc he knows she managed to take him down once before, and that's not something he knows how to process And bc fear is so foreign to him it's a very overwhelming and new sensation

You can see it in his original concept art! I think it also looks like it might have been turning to stone, which matches with how Karsus is now stuck as a big boulder I do wonder why they removed it, maybe to make him more attractive. I think he'd be more attractive to durge with it though LMAO

I removed Withers' direct involvement because I wanted to increase the stakes. I also reverted Gale's orb mechanics to the original concept of rotting arm + important items only, and reintroduced the EA plot of Gale making a contract with Raphael. Among many other things. What works for a game is 🧵

If anybody who follows me here wants a near-new size S underworks binder lmk. I am happy for it to go to anyone who's willing to pay the shipping cost (from Sydney, Aus). Only worn once for a few hours at a convention. Has not been stretched out in any way, works great, I won't need it again (🥳🧑‍⚕️🔪🎉)

Parsipan has difficulty with "you're beautiful". He doesn't think he's Very ugly, but he's a monster, not a muse, and gnome men aren't exactly the average Baldurian's ideal. So he grew up internalising all the gnome height jokes, and his role as Bhaal's chosen was to inflict his attention on others,

Parsipan doesn't like to think about this sort of thing too hard. He intentionally doesn't dwell on it because it makes him feel bad He thinks he's inseparable from Bhaal, so what's Bhaal's is his, so he'd assert yes The first time he has to face that it might be a no, he has a serious breakdown

A solid 3/10 for self-assuredness. Maybe a 4. Could be worse, but not by much. Somehow still manages to get what he wants eventually (1st section Parsipan pov, 2nd~4th Gale pov. Warning: he's pushy about it and there's vomit)

Parsipan believes that it is both. There are evil beings (himself), and there are also evil actions that neutral beings (most other mortals) can and should be encouraged to take. The unwilling should be culled as soon as convenient, the willing may be temporarily spared so long as they benefit him

I have to confess that when Parsipan makes an innocent expression I do want to pinch his cheeks and dote on him, despite everything. I think it's something about his giant ears that gives me the same emotions as when I look at a very small kitten

Hands down so far it's Bellannin Belrose, bc I designed him to be as soft and pretty as possible. He was one of the bbegs of my dnd campaign and his entire thing is to be outwardly pathetic + inwardly ruthless. And don't you just want to help him? Won't you help him? You can trust him for sure!

Never in his life. Parsipan usually has the opposite problem when interacting with others - he's from a demographically rare, often misunderstood people AND he has a super bright hair colour. From a young age he was aware that others noticed him and made quick assumptions. He's used to being 🧵

Parsipan will do anywhere, he doesn't really care, but he's generally inclined to host because he does like to control the setting and be certain of other variables (e.g. any potential voyeurs) ...Do NOT follow him to a secondary location if you aren't 100% certain you're the love of his life

The biggest challenge between Gale and Parsipan is, unsurprisingly, Parsipan himself. The grove raid left them with a very rocky foundation, and I think for a short time afterwards Gale disliked Parsipan. But Parsipan makes logical arguments about efficiency in infiltrating- 🧵

Rupert 🔞🏳️‍⚧️ | 🧙‍♂️💕 @snailcities.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Parsipan believes that he's inherently malevolent and that this is the right thing to be, because those who try to be good are lesser. He also believes it's his right to be cruel to others, and that this is all his destined role. He's correct that he's made to be bad, but the rest is delusion

All so that by Bhaal's resurrection date in 1482 Parsipan would be fully grown and ready to start The Plot. And everything was going perfectly pre-tadpole! He's a GREAT servant, super devoted, no hesitations! ...Unfortunately for Bhaal the prophecy didn't actually specify *which* god

Rupert 🔞🏳️‍⚧️ | 🧙‍♂️💕 @snailcities.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
When Parsipan's Bhaal heard the prophecy that he would die and return, there were two facets. 1. The bhaalspawn, to keep his name alive and feared in his absence and make a big show of his return 2. A quasi-deity titan to rebuild his cult and "reshape the world in service of its god" 🧵‼️

Parsipan keeps his hair tightly braided and will usually only redo it when the braid starts to look messy - so, once every few days. Floor length hair can be an ordeal to wash and dry, so he only washes it 1-2 times a week unless he's covered in something that needs getting rid of (blood, dirt, etc)

Parsipan spends most of the journey trying (w mixed success) to mete out elements of his true self to Gale without putting him off the relationship, and losing Gale come the end of act 3 would destroy him (he'd fully embrace Bhaal) So even if Gale hates him, Parsipan fears loss more than being seen

I have an inexplicably strong soft spot for Skickpit, Barcus is maybe my favourite npc overall, and Zevlor is very very close behind. Don't make me choose between them, I would take either as a full companion. And Yousen needs more attention (couldn't even find a screenshot...) because (🧵1/3)

This got two whole likes so here's attempt 2, via notes app I think often about what would happen because it's a complicated meeting of multiple issues on both Parsipan and Gale's sides of the equation, so it's one of those cases where it going well is going to heavily depend on the day it happens

Rupert 🔞🏳️‍⚧️ | 🧙‍♂️💕 @snailcities.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
YES Parsipan's looks change drastically over the course of the journey. Start -> volo -> astral tadpole -> post-orin -> post-brain He would destroy himself multiple times if it meant reaching what he defines as success (Not to mention the point where he gets the slayer form in act 2)

YES. Parsipan usually speaks very explicitly, ranging between poetic and vulgar (or both) depending on the topic/who he's speaking to. But he also speaks a little bit of Dwarvish and Elven, and in those he speaks like a child. He only used them with his adoptive parents, so that's all he ever learnt

Everybody who follows me knows my evil durge Parsipan but I actually have two! Maricotte is a shadow sorc/spores druid from a little village that makes specialist cheeses! He's a very sweet people pleaser who focuses more on other people's boundaries than his own and sadly ends up with A!Astarion

On a small level Parsipan felt relieved - grateful that he had achieved his goal. But more than anything he was scared and vulnerable. Every bad choice catches up to him and he has no choice but to kill himself for fear Bhaal will break him before Gale can harness the crown and save his soul.

Parsipan begins with a warm amber colour and ends with the volo eye + illithid black eye. The amber did a lot for making him look sweeter than he is. Gale sometimes secretly misses it, though they both value the power gained more.

Rupert 🔞🏳️‍⚧️ | 🧙‍♂️💕 @snailcities.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Parsipan has mixed results. He's tactical, he's results-oriented, and he's a long-term thinker. But he's also driven by his urges to create cult dynamics, is deeply selfish, and views others as expendable. CEO moment lol As Bhaal's chosen he was very "boy king": too much power too soon. He 🧵
