EXCLUSIVE: A Day With Tadpole, The Band Who Saved Baldur's Gate by herecomesaspecialboy (hamburglar)

Summary
By now, you've surely read that the two songwriter-guitarists were unable to maintain the act. You've watched and read the snippy interview segments, seen the video of the fight that broke out, and heard the rest of Tadpole (lead singer Wyll Ravengard, drummer Karlach Cliffgate, bassist Shadowheart, and multiinstrumentalist Lae'zel K'liir) apologize for the duo's inappropriate conduct ahead of their sold out reunion concert at Grand Hall this weekend.
Sitting at my booth, I saw the whole thing unfold, including intimate details that none of the other reporters witnessed.
A late and too long entry into Bloodweave Week Day 6: Aging and Devotion.

Summary
While numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of captivity on other classes of vertebrates, very few studies have investigated the effects of captivity and its related stresses on amphibians. Chronic stress results in elevated levels of corticosterone (CORT) released from the adrenocortical cells, which in turn result in hyperglycemia, anorexia, and changes in behavior.

Summary
He isn’t much of a partygoer, but he’s fairly certain that this—Tav, on her knees in front of a postdoc, with his cock buried in her mouth—is not how these things usually go.
—
Gale’s only concerns are pleasing his advisor and setting himself up well for an elusive tenure-track job… and then Tav transfers into his doctoral program.

Summary
“Fuck what Mystra requires of you.” Rhune practically snarled it, like something horrible and angry was busy clawing its way out of his throat.
Gale realized it was purely reactive, knew Rhune was trying to get a rise out of him, trying to get him to engage however he could. He also knew that if he truly didn’t want to fight about this, that he should just back down, tell the sorcerer that they would speak about it later, once tempers cooled and they each had time to themselves to think.
But that wasn’t how the pair of them operated.

Summary
Мистра не была проблемой.
Астарион не был решением.
Но они оба мастерски подкармливали эгоизм Гейла.
— Котенок, — говорит Астарион, — ты пялишься.
Бессовестная как всегда правда — зазубренный клинок в обескровленных ладонях. Много слов, наигранность в каждом движении, но Астарион был честен. Не договаривать не значит лгать, и наверное, это одна из тех ужасающе завораживающих вещей, за которую зацепился взгляд Гейла.
— Я, — Гейл прочищает горло, — любуюсь.

Summary
It’s gradual, but with the aid and comfort of his new lover, Gale slowly begins to recognise the lingering wounds from his relationship with Mystra.
Mystra always left him satisfied, carnally at least, but also somehow feeling like a jar scraped clean with a knife…But something that felt so good couldn’t possibly be bad. It’s a contradiction. It’s a paradox. It’s something Gale chooses very intentionally not to dwell on.

Summary
At first, the orb had the same weight as Tara sitting on his chest—uncomfortable, but not quite bad. Then it was a brick of lead, concerning, confusing, enough to challenge his breathing. Then it was heavy like contempt, like rejection, like damnation, choking off his breath and crushing his lungs as it tried to subsume everything that he was.

Summary
An everyday experience, the inelegance of life, all distilled down into a mishap in the threshold of a café nobody knew about. Their elbows bumped. The man in the violet turtleneck reared back, apologies flying like he had spent his whole life apologizing for everything. The man in the silver hair and black jacket shook his head and moved to walk away. And when the man with silver hair and the black jacket left the café, he took with him the heart of the passionate, romantic Gale Dekarios.
A chance meeting turns into something far more, as two people find love through the exchange of poetry.
