Comic Strip. Description of the scene; "The Ironhand Gnomes Hideout - Rivington." Off screen someone shouts; "Barcus!". The gnome looks to the viewer. He says "Wha-?". Tav suddenly appears, tucking her head into the gnomes shoulder with a 'PMF' sound effect. He looks startled. "Tav?? There are very flammable items in here you know-!". Tav is overjoyed, flush against the gnomes chest as she looks up into the camera. Happy tears in her eyes as she says; "GODS I'm happy to see you, it feels so nice to not have to look up for once, be around folks my own size. hehe." Next panel Tav is standing, measuring their slight height difference with a hand swishing back and forth the tops of their heads. Tav says; "Although I guess I still have to look up at you... Where in the hells did you get these handful of centimeters from?". Barcus looks surprised by her actions, flushing.

Astarion stands behind Tav and Barcus, he looks at them with slight embarrassed disgust. He speaks at Tav; "My love, I know he's a good friend but do try to not hold on to him for too long, yes? The smell.. in ..here (he emphasizes) is by all accounts offensive." Tav and Barcus are still close together as she looks over her shoulder, deadpanning at her lovers words. She is not impressed by his attempt to not be insulting to Barcus. "Wooow great save, love." Under his breath, Astarion continues; "Sigh, don't be like that- I really am talking about the soot... and the gnome smell that goes with it." Barcus watches the interaction in silent confusion. He thinks; "The Vampire? Not the Druid?"

"Consider instead the opportunity to enjoy the spring Tav and I found to wash the days smells away, Astarion." Halsin stands next to him, hand raised in good faith persuasion. Astarion looks down at the ground in mild thought, smirking in good humor. "Hmm.. Fair point." Astarion says. "You're more than welcome to join us next if you so choose." Halsin continues to say. Astarion responds; "... Perhaps." A shitty redraw of Barcus's in game portrait model shows him in disbelief with the text "BOTH?" inside the box. In the final panel, Barcus looks at Tav with...pity? Disbelief? Mild worry for her life choices? He asks; "Tav.. Truthfully; Do you ever get a full nights rest." Tav looks uncomfortable but may know what he's really asking while she rubs the back of neck and says; "Huh??" In the Background, there are two smaller doodles. Astarion is looking at his nails, smug, with music notes around him. Halsin looks to be shaking with laughter. They are both turned away from Tav and Barcus.

This is a comic I made while in a playthrough with a focus on Romancing Astarion❤️🦇 and Halsin ❤️🐻. Barcus is my favorite character to interact with as my Tav, and I wish to draw more character interactions between them!

Me when Barcus
#bg3 #barcuswroot #baldursgate3 #durge

I take a deep breath, fighting down the tears. Wulbren has always been prone to those outbreaks, but ever since he joined the Ironhand Gnomes, those have only gotten more frequent. It had gotten so bad that the two of us decided to take a break from our relationships and just be friends for a while. Well… Wulbren had decided, really. After that, we'd completely lost contact, though, and now that I finally found him again, he seems like an entirely different person. It pains me to see him so changed, but he's still my friend. And, truth be told, part of me still loves him. Dammon, the tiefling weaponsmith I'd nurtured a tentative friendship with, steps closer to Wulbren, seemingly not ready to stop the argument. But before I can do anything to try and smooth things over, the door to the Inn opens again, and one of the adventurers returns, taking the pressure off our conversation.

I sigh softly and turn to leave, catching some fresh air outside while the attention is on the returning adventurers. But just as I turn to take a stroll along the lakeshore, I feel a warm hand on my shoulder. "Wanna talk about it?" Dammon's voice, soft, gentle, caring in a way that brings tears to my eyes. "I…" I begin, but trail off. Dammon is a stranger, one I've had fun with as we tinkered with ideas for an infernal engine. A fix for a friend, one of the adventurers. But part of me still doesn't want to lay my heart bare again for fear of getting it bruised further. "It's nothing, really," I mumble, turning my head to smile at him over my shoulder. "Your face says otherwise," Dammon frowns and tilts his head. "Ah, magga cammara," I chuckle, wiping away a single tear that escaped. "Wulbren always said I was a terrible liar."

Lookie here... 👀😘

The bottom of the piece is signed by the author, Tavylia Sin, in both standard and infernal fonts. Title: Schlocktober Day 26 Balls So Blue They're Purple Tags: Wulbren Bongle x Barcus Wroot, Unrequited Fantasizing, "Friends" Main Text: They say “a friend in need is a friend indeed”, but whoever they are had never had a friend with quite such a powerful need as Wulbren Bongle. Across the room, his friend, Barcus, was simply going about his business. Bent over the workbench. Deft hands tinkering and tuning some new invention into shape. Wulbren bit his lip. He could never say what he wanted, never go over there and grasp it, so he was left feeling as if his leathers were being sewn tighter by some vengeful deity who never gave him a moment’s peace to release his frustration.

And #Schlocktober Day 26 with "Balls So Blue They're Purple" it's another obvious choice for #WulbrenBongle x #BarcusWroot

Title: Schlocktober Day 9 Afterneglect/Last Time Tags: Wulbren/Barcus, BDSM, Short-Form Angst, Doomed Yaoi Main Text: Wulbren pulled away from the warmth, like he always did. Barcus had just finished untying the careful knots, looking to capture him in an embrace instead. He didn’t need it. Didn’t want… Wulbren rubbed the ache from his wrists, savouring the lingering bruises as he left Barcus behind on the bed with that forlorn expression that seemed permanently present. “Go to sleep,” he muttered, waving a hand dismissively. A long sigh resounded behind him, from a man that didn’t know the morning sheets would be far colder. This couldn’t happen again. He wouldn’t… He was going to miss that sigh.

Today's #Schlocktober for @schlocktober.bsky.social comes with a serving of angst.

It's #WulbrenBongle x #BarcusWroot the angst is the main flavour~

A topless Barcus Wroot stands before the sunset, huge flowers lending him some modesty and an air of romance. In the top left, there's a fake publisher's stamp that says TOLNA'S $3.99 Then it says, Tolna's Vault Presents: The WROOT of ROMANCE an exciting journey of friendship, romance, and one gnome's journey to find himself along the sword coast Then, a little blurb on the right that says, Barcus Wroot is in search of his...friend. but he's about to find more than he ever dreamed of. Then a fake gold sticker on the left that says The Daily Baldur Four stars! "Never heard of this Wulbren guy before, but we all hate him now. Go get him, Barcus!" Then across the bottom: A collaboration fanfic that shows the depths of our adoration of the unlikely hero with the biggest heart.

Sample: Barcus found himself wishing for the burns just as hungrily as he had welcomed the spice of the meal earlier. Perhaps it had not been so strange to compare food to this kind of pain, or so he would have thought if he had the capacity remaining for comprehensive analysis of his situation. The gnome’s body was moving of its own accord – writhing under each burn, drawing long moans from deep in his lungs, subtly shifting to show new areas that had yet to feel the splash of wax lighting up his nerves with…with… Pain? Pleasure? The two were as completely entwined as silk thread in a spider’s web. Inseparable and creating the most beautiful snare from which he found himself unwilling to escape. With time, his mind and body felt both completely combined with one another and yet somehow…detached, floating. There was a soft haze around him, a sweetly seductive feeling of peace. Even the addition of the riding crop bruising his thighs and rear between the splashing of the wax felt more relaxing than torturous. Was this the love of Loviatar that Abdirak spoke so highly of? Or was this all merely the care of the priest himself making pain feel truly like a thing that could hold and deliver affection? It didn’t seem to matter much either way, the feeling was the same no matter the source. This wasn’t at all like what he was used to, leagues away from everything he had known with Wulbren… Ah. There it was. The tension began to return to his body with a single name filtering into the back of his mind once more. How could he think of laying here, baring himself in the middle of the woods, when his—...when Wulbren was in danger. “Windmill…” He muttered reluctantly, and in an instant Abdirak’s joyful shouts were silenced, the candle snuffed, the crop dropped to the mud. “Dear one, I apologise. I did not mean to go too far.” The priest’s voice was as soft as the touch upon his shoulder, a single hand meant to ground, to reassure.

A second #BG3OpenTheVault #SpillYourInkwellBG3 is this introspection, mid #BDSM, because that's just how it goes sometimes~

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Barcus Wroot with big boobs. He has star shaped pasties on and is wearing a necklace. He is looking at the camera.

Film Star
So I’ve got big titty Barcus on the brain… here’s a doodle.
#bg3fanart #bg3barcus #barcuswroot

digital sketch of Tav and Barcus Wroot from Baldur's Gate 3. Tav is a light-skinned, white-haired drow woman. They're sitting on a chair together, with Barcus on Tav's lap. They're fully clothed but the front of Barcus's trousers is open, and Tav is gripping his cock, which is dripping precome; he has one arm back around Tav's neck and the other is holding her free arm, which is wrapped around his ribs. There's a speech bubble by Tav's head which reads, "you're making a mess, y'know"; next to Barcus's head is just written "ngh-" in response.

digital sketch of Tav and Barcus, naked on a vaguely bed-looking background. Tav is laying on her back, with Barcus laying on top of her, in a position evocative of 69-ing. Her face is between his legs and she's sucking his cock. His head is resting on her stomach, right arm stretched out so he can finger her.

digital illustration of Tav and Barcus; they're in a room that looks like a study, in front of a tall wall-spanning bookshelf, both standing on a ladder. Barcus is above Tav, hunched over with his eyes shut tight and looking a little frazzled. Tav is below and behind him; she's pulled his trousers down and is eating his ass.

sorry I haven't been around lately lol, haven't been doing a lot of post-worthy art

but the past couple days I've been on a Baldur's Gate kick so. VOILA. Barcus/Tav. for the whole like, dozen of us in the fandom who like him lmao 🥹
