Siobhan is a mandolin - small, curvy, and plucky 😅
Capable of joy and melancholy, versatile, at home in many settings, loveable solo, shines w/ a supportive ensemble.

Spent the weekend writing them and I feel like I finally found their chemistry. And it’s based on Siobhan occasionally telling Gale, lovingly, that he’s being an asshole. #bg3 #gale #SiobhanGreenbottle
#tavqotd
"No Children" by The Mountain Goats. In a God Gale ending, Siobhan exacts petty revenge on the God of Ambition by spending most of her days drinking on the steps of his temple, singing loudly and bitterly to dissuade would-be followers.

Siobhan would spend a spell slot every day just to be able to talk to Scratch and the owlbear cub. #bg3 #bardtav #SiobhanGreenbottle
#tavqotd
Siobhan doesn’t have a ton of contact with her parents, since they’re all in different parts of Faerûn. But her mom and dads are happy she’s happy and has a steady, loving presence by her side, given how inconsistent her family had been in her early life.

Siobhan is so grounded that I worry she's boring, flat, or unlovable in the scope of a fantasy epic. (An anxiety core to her own story, and why she's been stuck in WIPs for months.)
Still, I love to celebrate the qualities that make regular people interesting.

"Siobhan! Siobhan!" Ash hissed. "I'm not here, Ash, I've got to go." Siobhan darted around the small apartment, gathering sheet music and pieces of finery. "It's your mother!" Siobhan froze in the midst of hooking a pearl earring. Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Then that goes double, then! I'm not here!" "Birdie, is that you?" Teagan's ordinarily warm voice sounded tense on the other side of the door. Siobhan noticed with a pang that her mother sounded gravelly with age. Even in her moment of sympathy, Siobhan leaned out the window to eye how difficult the jump would be. Ash snapped her back with a frantic wave and a pointed jab of their head at the door. Siobhan puffed her cheeks, rolled her eyes, and resigned herself to the interruption. She plastered her face with a forced smile and opened the door. "Heyyy, Mom…"
Drinking whiskey and digging into Siobhan's life in Waterdeep pre-Nautiloid: a working musician with a strained mother-daughter relationship 😬 #bg3 #siobhangreenbottle #bardfics #bardtav
Siobhan's human shortness bothers her when she visits her elven relatives. She mostly embraces her build as part of her bardic charm and stage presence. Appearing small, warm, and huggable has fooled a few enemies and hooked several lovers. (credits in alt text) #tavqotd #bg3 #SiobhanGreenbottle
Against a backdrop of purple moonlit clouds, magical music notes, and warm orange lanterns, Siobhan, a chestnut-haired half-elf bard with pink skin, curvy hips, and round features laughs joyfully and dances with Gale Dekarios - drawn here gloriously chubby, with graying hair - who gazes down at her affectionately. They are both wearing their best circus/bard-inspired festival clothes in patterns of purple and blue diamonds. Siobhan's outfit is adorned with bells and pointy collars.
@woeart.bsky.social has made me so incredibly happy with this gorgeous c0mm 😭🥰

#tavqotd What specific color do you associate with your Tav?
Indigo 💜💙
To me, it’s a deeply romantic, thoughtful, calming color. Also, I kept gravitating towards putting Gale in deep blues and purples, and it happens those colors look great on Siobhan too.

#tavqotd If you had to describe your Tav/Durge via a gif, which would you use?
I don't even have a good explanation for this, but spiritually, I know it's correct.

#tavqotd Siobhan is a mechanical metronome w/ a faulty mechanism. She works hard to be reliable and helpful but is pulled in all directions - flighty mother, stoic father, life on the road, strict training, creative/personal freedom. The tadpole made that path even harder. #bg3 #SiobhanGreenbottle
Standing to one side, Siobhan cradles Gale’s chin with a gentle hand and plants a light kiss on his cheek as he regards her with a smirk.
My loves 😭 Siobhan wouldn’t admit it out loud, but even after years together, she’s completely obsessed with Gale. But just look at him. He knows. 💜
So grateful to @jazzmedic.bsky.social for this wonderful sketch 🥰

Siobhan and Gale’s first time was before the canon Act 2 romance. Their romance was a magical meeting of the minds at first, but with Gale’s orb finally stabilized, they can do something about the sexual tension that’s been building. 1/2 #tavqotd #bg3 #gale #galemancer #SiobhanGreenbottle #bardfics
Siobhan is loosely my self-insert. I have realized over time, as I write her life outside of BG3, without Gale, with other people, that the process of playing her has been healing in a way I didn’t expect. Observing and loving her has made me much kinder to myself. #tavqotd #SiobhanGreenbottle
I know they’re basic, but we’re gonna look at chickadees! “Birdie” was one of Siobhan’s nicknames growing up, which turned into “Chickadee” at some point. She has such a soft spot for them, one ended up on her bard armor. #tavqotd #bg3 #SiobhanGreenbottle
Siobhan spends Act 1 terrified and out of her depth. She didn’t learn combat magic in school - which almost got Gale killed at the Grove. When the Weave didn’t work, she sought out Alfira - who held her own as a refugee - to teach her how to fight with bardic magic. #tavqotd #bg3 #SiobhanGreenbottle
Psychic fairyyyy!! 🔮🧚♀️ #bg3 #SiobhanGreenbottle #tavqotd #bard #bardtav
Seeing all the results of the #bg3renfaire has been so fun!
A late entry, but I am REALLY excited to cook on it more soon.
Gale and Siobhan thoroughly enjoying themselves at the Faire 💜

Siobhan at the Faire! Most of her day job is orchestra concerts. She relishes the opportunity to let loose with her fellow musicians, doing something joyful and exciting!

Siobhan was deeply sad - that Gale would blame himself, that he suffered so throughly, the possibility he would die alone. All of this mixed with the romantic thrill of finally being let into his mind.
[ #bg3 | #tavqotd | #galemancerqotd | #SiobhanGreenbottle | #gale | #GaleDekarios | #galemancer ]
Siobhan goes out of her way to take care of Morena, not only for Gale’s sake, but because she recognizes that they both had to endure the heartbreak of watching someone they love struggle - Morena for even longer than Siobhan. #galemancerqotd #tavqotd #SiobhanGreenbottle
Morena and Siobhan have a mostly good but sometimes tense relationship. But Mrs. D loves Siobhan for keeping Gale grounded and bringing him back from the brink of ruin; she’s overjoyed to see light in Gale’s eyes and have him involved in Waterdeep life again. (1/2 #tavqotd #SiobhanGreenbottle
Working on my #GalemancerWeddingWeek pieces and getting emotional about #Bardweave and #Thunderweave! I’ll be collecting all of my pieces in this pinned thread 💜

My heart aches when I think about Gale and Siobhan in Act 1 and the amount of beautiful, moonlit yearning they do - for normal life, for each other, for Waterdeep.

Scratch the very best good boy stopped by the fire to listen to Siobhan play 😭💜🐕 #bg3 #bg3scratch #bard #SiobhanGreenbottle
My Gale playlist features a lot of Fleet Foxes + water themes. With this song, I have a vivid image of Siobhan playing it for Gale by the fire as they share bittersweet memories of Waterdeep.
