shanks is that spiritually enlightened beach bum constantly holding a jack n coke w a splash of lime who wasn’t lying that time he said he knew karate
he’s the chillest most laid back person u know and his hobbies seem to consist of ‘drink, ocean, dad jokes’ and then he reveals in passing he’s on like eight country’s most wanted list. still a stand up guy tho
Honestly we were robbed of a cutscene where Karlach post-heart upgrade runs into camp yelling, ‘All right, I’m going to hug everyone who’s comfortable with it! Incoming!!!’ I want to watch her pick Wyll right up and give him a big ol’ squeeze as she promises she’ll do everything she can to end the Hells’ influence over him too. I want to see her crying with joy as she pets Scratch. I want to see her yelling 'come here, magic man!’ and sending Gale’s books flying as she ambush-hugs him from behind. I want to see her hugging Shadowheart and realising that holy shit, do you wanna braid hair, I can do that now! I want to see her bouncing on the balls of her feet as she asks if it’s okay to hug Lae'zel, and Lae'zel pretending to agree reluctantly, but smiling secretly as Karlach squeezes her. I want to watch her ruffling Astarion’s hair while he yelps no, do you have any idea how hard it is to comb one’s hair when you don’t have a reflection? Gods! But he doesn’t back away.
Just. Karlach getting to show how much she loves her friends with everything she has. It’s what she deserves.
