Mewing, looksmaxing, chad, short king, DILF, golden face ratio or whatever the kids in Baldur's Gate are saying these days.

Day 2
(1)Scouting the nautiloid crash site, Garrik and Ziggy run into other survivors: a woman carrying a misterious artifact, a young githyanki warrior, a pale elf and a mage in distress. An alliance is formed.

Years of sneaking out of bed chambers unnoticed at the crack of dawn, have taught Ziggy to be decently stealthy.
And, if he can't avoid being seen, he can just pretend he's exactly where he's supposed to be, doing exactly what he's supposed to do.

Day 1
After waking up on a mindflayer nautiloid, Garrik recognizes a familiar face in one of the pods. Years have passed since the morning Ziggy bid him farewell. What a bizarre way to be reunited.

AITA for persuading a mentally ill doctor to make his nurses vivisection him?
I (60M) met a crazy surgeon (?M) at a hospital in the shadow cursed lands. He had just "treated" a patient with the aid of his equally crazy nurses, resulting in his untimely death.

Ziggy's letter is on simple, but quality bleached paper. On the envelope is an ornate logo of a mask with a blooming rose where the mouth should be.

"This is a silver dagger that I have Accidentally pocketed from Crown Prince Irvel's chambers. It may have once belonged to King Azoun IV, but that I cannot guarantee. It's not the most interesting part of the story, anyway."

All Ziggy's fans and admirer wanted was the idealized version of him they had constructed in their minds from the selected bits and pieces he dared show them.
Not many people got to see all of him and less were actually able to appreciate it. Wyll is one of the very few.
#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy has the cutest little ouppy face, completed with innocent blue eyes, and he knows how to wield it better than his sword.
Look at him: he's just a little guy. He's never done anything wrong in his life, ever. π₯Ί
#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy and Wyll officially met at the grove, according to canon. They knew of each other beforehand, though, as Wyll had attended one of Ziggy's shows as a kid and Ziggy had heard tales of the Blade of Frontiers.

For Ziggy and Wyll, the main issue would be getting used to their new size. Ziggy would stagger around on too long legs, Wyll would reach out for something seemingly at arm's lenght only to realize his new arm is several inches too short for the task...

You find this tiny gift under the tree, what do you do?
@blatterbury.bsky.social joined on @theposearchives.bsky.social 's DTPYS with everyone's favourite short king π
Enjoy and happy holidays!

Ziggy has the soul of a poet and so he can see beauty everywhere, from an evocative painting to the sun shining on a puddle of dirty water at such and angle it makes it look as if a piece of the sky is lying at his feet.

All the Ziggy cared about in the beginning was to get out of that situation and back to normal. He wanted the tadpole out of his head, he wanted to live.
[Cont.]
#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy is conceited but not selfish. He's curious and creative but jaded, kind hearted but cynical. He's a disenchanted dreamer, a tragic poet. A man with a deeply romantic nature and a sensitive disposition hardened by a dull and cruel world.
[+ bonus]
#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy is open to PDA. Maybe because his first kiss was on stage, maybe because he's got no shame, maybe because he's an exhibitionist. His limit is only in the consent of his partner and of the public, because if it were up to him, he would have none.

Ziggy, while not directly involved in politics, is deeply knowledgeable of politics, in particular Baldurian politics. He has strong political opinions and his art is, albeit not overtly so, deeply political.

#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy's proficiency is in the arts. He is, by his own admission, not good at anything else. It may not seem a particularly useful trade but it certainly helped his companions make it to Baldur's Gate with their spirits intact.

A younger (32) Ziggy during his first paid gig.
I did my best to make him look younger. Lighting and filters are, like him, paid actors here.

"Ziggy Goldenhand. Precisely the one you're thinking of."
#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy collected many vices over the years: alcohol, drugs, sex. When you're notorious and wealthy and hang around the rich and powerful, all those things are constantly offered to you, always within your reach. It takes a lot of temperance to refuse them.

#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy was, predictably, very suave. The whole process was entertaining because, despite being more outwardly affected by their courtship than him, so was Wyll. They kept trying to playfully out-smooth each other with their passionate declarations and romantic surprises.
#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
He got more than a few.
Once, a woman offered Ziggy money to sleep with her husband. Another one asked him to sign her newborn baby's head.

Astarion gave him a backhanded compliment: "You're handsome, you know? I mean, for a gnome."
"I know I'm handsome. I can see my reflection," he replies without batting an eye. He knows what he did there.
#ziggygoldenhand #tavqotd
Ziggy is certainly sociable. He likes meeting new people, likes the thrill of unraveling the mind of someone who was prior just a stranger. Even the duller people have wishes, quirks, secrets.
