Sparrow's Lab

Hi! I'm Sparrow/Jess/Cecily (on bsky). Welcome to my little corner of the internet.I'm a Mainer, geek, gamer, cat mom, drawer of Astarion stink faces, & wrestling fan. I also masquerade PT as a halfling garbage bard/chaos gremlin named Ravioli.

What can I help you with?

Mods

My primary modding focus is on building new spaces in Baldur's Gate 3 with virtual photographers in mind. Photobooth is my love letter to the BG3 community and mixes many things I enjoy.

Mods on Nexus

Free versions of my mods will always be available to the public and are currently listed on Nexus.

Early Access Mods

Kicking and screaming, I've been dragged to the world of early access. People can support my mad creations and follow my chaotic process on my Patreon (free and paid memberships are available).

Art & Virtual Photography

Art

I make doodles on my iPad using Procreate. They're mostly of my chaos gremlin and her pookie doing crimes, but sometimes I branch out and even draw Gale!Actually my most favorite things to draw are bad movie references, wrestling crossovers, It's Always Sunny crossovers, and Rav and Astarion as April and Andy from Parks and Rec... and oh yeah, THE HOLIDAYS! The holidays are time for crimes.Here's a few favorites (newest to oldest):

Virtual Photography

I would not consider myself a professional screen archer, but sometimes I cap things I don't hate:

Ravioli Cannoli

Wow, you really sure you wanna be here? Ok then.You're traveling through another dimension not only of insane sights but a lack of a sound mind. A journey into a ridiculous land whose boundaries are obliterated by poor choices and general nonsense. Your next stop, The Cannoli Zone.

General Deets

Name: Ravioli Cannoli (It’s NOT a stage name)
Hometown: Neverwinter, but was living and working in Baldur's Gate during the abduction
Nicknames: Rav (to most), Ravi (to her papa). Astarion calls her “my sweet” both in earnest and in a cunty way depending on if she’s irritated him or not.
Age: 30, but she will tell people she’s 29 for as long as she can.
Race: Lightfoot Halfling
Eye Color: Medium blue
Hair: Pink and Teal (totally natural babes)
Class: Bardbarian (10 bard, 2 barbarian). She has to be a bard (predominately) or else she would be too powerful. Could you imagine all of that gremlin chaos with actual skills and abilities? Tadpoles would have nothing on that. The companions would be uniting to take her down.Because she can’t sing for shit, Karlach offers to teach her some Avernus screamo death metal, and thusly over time, Rav acquires her two levels in barbarian. Her signature rage yell is, “TIME TO MCFUCKIN’ DIE!” before she tells you to KYS and then slaps you with a salami.
Preferred Weapons: Salami, a second salami, the Club of Hill Giant Strength, her mouth, and Astarion’s hand-me-down daggers (she really can’t be trusted with anything larger).
Romantic Partner: Astarion - they met via a NAT 20 head butt and have been together since UWU
Bestest Buddies: Gale and Karlach

Bard Stuff

Preferred Instrument: Her rude little violin
Rav’s Entire Set List Described in a Single Song: “Don’t Know What you Got Til It’s Gone” by Cinderella. Her vocal skills are absolutely on par with Tom Keifer’s scratchy, husky voice and her set list is almost entirely made up of hair metal power ballads that she could scream/yell at the audience and make them feel bad about booing her for.
Lore-Accurate Bardic Inspiration: “You’re the Inspiration” by Chicago. RIP to anyone who needs that bonus.

Family

She’s an only child. Her parents are Cora and Bruno Cannoli.When they finally meet Astarion, Cora will be absolutely enamored with him. “Oh he’s soooo handsome.” She magically has a Jersey mom accent and picks at Rav for wearing her hair in a way that “hides her pretty face”.Bruno will not be a fan of Astarion for quite a while. He’s never had an affinity for people of Astarion’s stature snort. He is your typical overprotective father who would do ANYTHING for his baby girl who has never done anything wrong in her life EVER. Big “can't settle down with a nice halfling boy who will treat her like a queen” energy.

Personality

Rav is a sarcastic ball of chaos who looks for joy in the world while also being unashamed about making a bad joke and ripping something to shreds at the same time. She burps unapologetically after a good meal (and even a mediocre one now that I think of it) and snores and farts in her sleep. She is messy, imperfect, and can be annoying, but she is also warm, caring, and even has her clever moments.She is not always nice, but she is always kind.For someone who knows how cruel the world can be and how disposable people like her can be treated, she is still fiercely loyal, almost to a fault and to her own detriment, to people she has clung on to. She loves deeply even if it’s not always obvious to those around her.She also believes that the colors of the world can only shine their brightest if they’ve known a bit of darkness.

And the rest...

Quick Backstory: Ravioli’s tale starts as she’s finishing up her shift at the Blushing Mermaid. On her way out the back she finds some bottles of booze the Mermaid was tossing. Rather than realizing (and or caring) that the booze was so bad even the Mermaid was chucking it, she snags some bottles and starts pounding them on her walk home. She is sufficiently lost in the sauce by the time the nautiloid attack happens, so she assumed the entire events that follow on the nautiloid are some sort of kick ass drunken dream that seemly involved the weirdest kitty cat, a hot frog mommy, and some equally hot girl in need of new bangs.It’s not until she wakes up on the beach and finds the bitchy girl from her dreams also there that she starts to freak out a little and realize that maybe all this shit wasn’t some dream.As for how Rav got to Baldur’s Gate and ended up working the Tuesday closing shift at the Mermaid, well that’s still a trauma for another day.Wut?: Rav is one-half of the Salami Mamis, THE premiere tag team on the Sword Coast. Karlach and Rav keep up on their barbarian training by WRASTLIN’. RIP to their opponents, The Basic White Bois.(I also want to note that so many fun bits of Rav lore have been created and/or polished by my two dear friends Nad and Germaine and want to show them love for loving on her so much.)
