Sleeping with companions with sleep disorders [baldur's gate 3 animatic]

[@MoonyMoonzzi]

The night terrors for the Dark Urge is so fucking accurate Im crying

[@bentonick]

"I don't know what he's scared of, cause he's bigger than everything" That's WHY he's scared, astarion

[@SmartyPoohBear]

@@bentonick Haha, yeah. I was like, "he's scared of himself."

[@itsCaptainEli]

Unironically, this is why I like to pair Durge with Shadowheart. They're just so damn similar. Spoilers, if you haven't beat the game. They both serve a dark god trying to use them to their own ends against their nature (if you play redemption Durge) Shadowheart would also be awake through the night for prayers, and I imagine Durge would stay up to exhaust himself so he can't possibly bring harm to his friends. They also both need to make a major sacrifice against their own dark god to ever truly be free from them, and free to forge their own path.

[@UmbralCovenMoneyGang]

​@@adrianrandom3448 Agreed, most romancable companions in BG 3 have something to tie in with Durge, something that makes them understand each other better or something else.

I can fully believe Gale would have sleep apnea and die several times a night temporarily because he's got a big fucking orb in his chest.

[@juke414]

Yeah the orb eats his magic so maybe he dies temporarily because he's asleep and not on his guard

Eventually, Astarion came to the logical conclusion that he'd have the easiest time sleeping next to the GOAT Halsin, who is unironically sleeping like a log outside wildshaped as a bear. He never slept more soundly.

[@rustkarl]

If you go a night with Durge and the worst thing he did was scream you got off lightly cause chances are he just saved your life from the intrusive thoughts of his dad’s murderboner.

[@celestebigaignon6054]

This goes even more true if you romance Astarion as a Durge and the butler appears to tell you, you have to kill the one you hold most dear due to not killing Isobel. Who was just at the back of this conversation, chilling with Aylin with me 😂

[@lunardelos]

Absolutely pissing myself at the idea of Wyll sleep snore-moaning. He's so repressed

[@tiph3802]

He told my bard he wanted a romance the way us bards tell them. I was like, "Sir, it's a fantasy for entertainment. I'm not doing that Disney princess shit," and immediately assured Astarion that yes, I would be sticking with him. Keep your toxic purity culture to yourself, Wyll.

[@beardiemom]

@@tiph3802 Wyll lost me when he proposed to my friend's Tav the same day that we killed Gortash. Sir, you claim to care about Karlach, who's working through some sh*t right now, and you've got nothing better to do than to make this evening about yourself?! That's it! Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your father, dishonor on your dead mom! He lost me even more when he said the 7000 spawn deserved a chance, because gods forbid Astarion did the responsible thing for once in his unlife, even if it's not the easy choice.

[@SillyEveryDay]

Best part is that since elves only meditate for 4 hours, this could be canon. While everyone's still sleeping Astarion, Halsin, and Minthara would just be sitting wide awake and wondering what they did to deserve this.

[@laurelrhodes744]

Those three just watching this happen while sipping wine 😂😂😂

[@CandyHatsuneWolff]

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize: of course Astarion doesn't sleep. I know everyone else has already said it, but it didn't hit me until I saw his hands in the trance position.

I love how they all fit so well Especially durge, he's the biggest compared to everyone (except for Halsin), and he'd probably scream in his sleep too with all the horrors he's been through.

[@Littlepup93]

This is just canon as far as I'm concerned. Astarion just does not sleep, he tries to do his elven reverie meditation stuff after hunting/sucking Durge and is just subjected to this skull numbing choir of sleeping problems. Doesn't even touch on the ladies, because I'm sure they'd also have their share of *problems*. Lae'zel: Issues with her circadian rhythm on account of not being from "this grassy pebble". She stays up way later than she should, and needs to be kicked awake in the morning. Perpetually runs on 4-5 hours of sleep. Shadowheart: Pounds down the wine, sleeps like absolute shit, and wakes up with a red wine hangover. Will she stop? No. Karlach: Sleep talker, but not the fun kind. She prolly just mumbles incoherently. Is the most tolerable for Astarion.

[@frowny5460]

Laezel running on nothing but 3 hours of sleep and a kick in the Gut would explain soooo much

[@borgshadow13]

karlach might also be a sleep hugger (hence the cute lttle plushy in her camp) ... which is TERRIFYING if a) she's on fucking fire half the time and b) you're a vampire

So I had the no party limit mod installed and while resting it bugged sometimes and showed me the characters while they slept/snored. I could click on their portraits and they’d say nothing. Except Karlach. Karlach said some nightmare fuel shit. I mean, she was probably having nightmares from her time in the hells

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

Meanwhile, in the other room, Lae’zel and Shadowheart were up half the night arguing because one or the other of them shifted positions and very slightly infringed on the other one’s side of the bed, only for them to eventually wear themselves out, fall asleep, and wake up snuggling. Karlach had to sleep in the bathtub, both to get away from Shadowheart and Lae’zel’s squabbling and to minimize the damage she’d do if she happened to combust in her sleep.

[@gavinbillings6535]

if you romance gale, you will hear banters where the other characters mention that he talks in his sleeps... and he is confident that whatever he talks about is educational so people should listen to his sleep talks also... halsin... he transformed into a bear when he lost focus during sexy times... i assume he lost focus as well when he sleeps (extra: this is also the reason why there is a theory where halsin is not an elf druid that wildshape into a bear, but a bear druid that wildhshape into an elf... additional supporting information includes his "wildshape: cave bear" skill is unique, from the part that its a cave bear while normal wild shape is just bear, and that this is a bonus action while normal wildshape is an action, and finally he has this skills from lvl1 (normal druid gets wildshapes at lvl 2))
