You are the daughter of an angelic faerie and an elven king. You have grown up inside the only magical safe-haven of an increasingly apocalyptic land outside. You have wanted for nothing, essentially leading the perfect life, suffering and death playing little role beyond the abstract. Your father will never die, and your mother will never leave, but for tradition you are still crown princess and are educated as such. You love to dance and to sing.
You meet some kind of monster inside your mother's borders, a monster not of her or your making. It stumbled across you, dancing in the forest, bloody and travel-worn and weary and wide-eyed as it stares. You are stronger than it, but you run rather than lunge for the kill. You feel pity, more than fear. And something about him makes the part of you that you inherited from your mother sing.
He tries to follow you, for a year and a day. You are stronger, and faster, and stealthier, and you let him see you sometimes anyways. You are not convinced that he is not a monster, but nor are you convinced that he is.
Spring blooms again to the tune of your song, and you let him get closer than before until you run.
But you hear him speak for the first time. He is a speaker, and perhaps to him you are the monster. You do not run, and you do not kill.
He calls you "Tinuviel"
He calls you nightingale- a little songbird, plain and brown, with a lovely voice. They are your mother's creation, but he does not know this.
He calls you daughter of twilight- perhaps for your skin and eyes and hair, but perhaps because that is when he has seen you most.
He calls you singer- creator of the very fabric of the universe, skilled enough to deserve the title.
You are the most beautiful creature the world will ever see, the daughter of an angel and a king. He does not call you beautiful, or angelic, or princess. He calls you a singer, plain and brown, dark and distant as the approaching night.
He is bloody and travel-worn and weary and wide-eyed as you dare to step closer.
He called you nightingale.
You don't know what to call him, but you hope to find out.

The biggest mistake I've made so far in BG3 is naming my character Glaz and having Gale in my party. There are so many little text pop-ups of status effects and actions and so on and at a glance I am constantly mixing up the names

Ruvaran, setting up to majorly tick off a group of people with next to no beef with Angmar for no reason, completely ignoring all the people who have huge amounts of beef with Angmar who aren't anywhere near this mountain: Yeah this is a good plan

So I'm on playthrough #4 of this game playing as Astarion this time around with the intention of romancing Wyll and man, picking all the good and heroic options as Astarion especially in Act 1 really is a case of "He would not fucking say that" bc Wyll likes all the good and heroic options and Astarion is. not that lolol
One thing is by chance I found a workaround on how to not make Wyll a devil and still keep Karlach alive. It worked but now im wondering if making him a devil would of been better narratively? Also I just got used to the horns that I kinda miss them. I do have a save thats right before doing the workaround but I did quite a bit of stuff so is it worth it?

- honestly, if curufin’s nargothrond scheme had worked, i think maedhros would have accepted it as a fait accompli? like, i doubt he’d approve of it, if for no other reason than it’s burned a few bridges his long-term plans would have preferred to have intact, but maedhros is pragmatic enough to appreciate the new cards in his faction’s hand, and possibly even grudgingly impressed by curufin’s initiative. even if the scheme did fail but didn’t blow up in curufin’s face quite so spectacularly, i feel like him and celegorm would gotten off with a standard maedhros lecture and at least helping to fix the inevitable diplomatic mess. it’s just the absolute catastrophe the actual implementation of the nargothrond scheme turned into, leading to the fëanorians losing things ranging from 'the unified front of the fëanorian host and house’ to ‘maedhros’ last acceptable backup high king candidate’ to ‘all credibility in the eyes of nearly everyone left in beleriand’ that led to maedhros flipping out at them so hard the stone caught fire

Upon observing the squirrel that Birvor approached quite literally go from happily scritching at a patch of dirt where likely a nut hoard lay beneath to thrashing its tail and chattering up a storm, Halsin tried his best not to smile too much at the other's expense.
"An unusual concept, but...have you tried smiling?" He wondered, noting how the half-orc's tusks seemed to cause a scary slope to his face that he was sure the animals did not take a liking to when it felt like they were being sized up by the big lug and consequentially had fangs bore at them.

the faces of Cerris
a fun little timeline showing some of the physical (and emotional wellbeing) changes my tempest cleric has gone through while trapped in Barovia these past like, two and a half months. some of the changes are harder to see without zooming in, so there's a description below the set of images.
image descriptions from top left to bottom right:
1. Cerris upon first arriving in Barovia. He is clean-shaven, with a soft, flustered expression.
2. Cerris in the aftermath of the fall of Valaki. He is no longer clean-shaven, and his expression is distant, vacant, haunted.
3. Cerris after trying to visit Argynsvostholt. His hair is silvered at the roots, magically aged. He looks into the distance, determined.
4. Cerris after his first meeting with the Abbot of Krezk. His hair is returned to its natural color, but his eyes have been tampered with, now bearing flecks of bright gold. His expression is quietly fuming.
5. Cerris back in Ottoma with Milo, just returned from his second visit to Krezk. His eyes are back to their normal storm grey, and his expression is tired but soft, full of parental fondness.
6. Cerris after a run-in with a skin kite on the path between the winery and Costana. Thanks to the skin kite, he has no hair of any kind on his head—so he’s not only bald, he also doesn’t have any eyebrows, and his stubble is gone. His expression is hard to read.
7. Cerris the first time he is actively possessed by the ghost of Serghei von Zarovich. His hair has not yet grown back, but enveloped as he is by Serghei’s ghost, there is an illusory effect that makes it look like he has Serghei’s hair and mutton chops. His eyes glow a bright, lightning-like yellow-white, and his expression is furious.
8. Cerris in the aftermath of the first possession. Serghei’s form is gone, and Cerris's eyes are no longer glowing, but they haven’t returned to normal either. Instead, his irises are exceptionally pale, practically white with a tinge of greenish yellow. His expression is concerned.

[Full comic transcript under cut in addition to the alt text.]
So I've been working on a short comic, and here's a preview of the first five pages and the cover. They still need some cleanup and editing, and the rest of the pages of course, but I hope you enjoy them!
Images:
First is a cover, in greens, oranges and purples. Title: The Orc and Her Bride, A Comic by Zoe Maxine. The illustration shows a surprised orc woman in a fancy cape and circlet holding an equally surprised dark skinned elf woman in a creamy bridal dress and crown.
Page 1. Full page drawing of the orc woman, looking far more ramshackle, covered in blood on a pile of bodies, and holding a giant axe. She pants with exhaustion.
Page 2. She looks over to see three people murmuring around a nearby building.
Orc: "Don't tell me there's more."
The three pointy eared people approach, looking frightened.
Bearded man with his hands raised: "Mistress - Please, have mercy."
The Orc is shocked, before she looks down, muttering, "Not looking forward to this part."
Looking at the bearded fellow she says, "I will not harm the unarmed."
Sighing, the bearded man says, "Thank you, Mistress."
Avoiding his eyes, the orc says, "I don't deserve your thanks. I have killed many of your brethren."
Page 3. Two of the people exchange a look between them, faces neutral.
Bearded one: "…Our soldiers, yes."
The other, an older woman with short hair, looks at the orc. "Mistress, where do you come from?"
Bearded one: "Why have you done this?"
A shadow passes over the orc's face. "I am from Eskerfort."
The next panel shows her saying "And… because I am from Eskerfort." over a flashback to her kneeling on the ground, defeated, in front of burning houses with soldiers barely visible in the background.
The two people in the present look away, almost ashamed, saying "Ah," with understanding.
Page 4. Looking down at the bodies below her, the orc says, "I am tired of bloodshed. I have avenged my kin. I will darken your doorways no more and leave you in peace."
As she turns to leave, however, the beareded one rushes forward. "Wait! Worrier! Stop! Please!"
The elfin woman looks up at her, asking, "Do you not know our laws?"
Together the two try to point out something to the orc. "Look, please!" "Look!"
Among the bodies is a fancily dressed one wearing a circlet.
Off-panel, the people say, "That one you killed among the dead - he was our king."
One of them reaches down to grab the circlet.
Page 5: Looking concerned, the orc woman says, "Are you asking me to be executed? For Regicide?"
As the elfin woman is doing something, the bearded one puts his hands on his hips and looks up sternly. "No, Warrior, we are asking you to take responsibility."
The elfin woman holds the circlet up to the orc. It shines. "Our laws are clear," she says, "Whoever kills the king becomes the new king."
The orc stares ahead, eyes becoming pinpricks. "What?"
The next panel has her dressed in a fur lined cape with the circlet on her head, her hair being brushed. She has the exact same expression on her face. "what?"
The last panel has her sitting at the head of a long table with all the elfin people enjoying themselves around her. "what"

Week 1 of @shepscapades 's Hermit Design Event ~!
Hermits but what if dnd
Rambling and non-group pics below
Cleo: Half-Orc Eldritch Knight
Mumbo: Tiefling Crown Paladin to Peace, Love and Plants
Gem: Circle of Swarms Elven Druid
Zedaph: Battle Smith Artificer Satyr
Cleo's a Half-orc cos green.... I'm very creative I know.. I had the classes in mind for the other 3 already and I figured the party kinda needs someone who can fight head on, so she's a fighter...and def not cos I wanted to draw her beefy. Mumbo's kinda there but he has a thing
He's a support paladin lmao. He just whacks them really hard with the blunt end until theyre low hp (the others finish them off so teeeeechnically he doesnt kill)
Bees !
Both allays belong to Zedaph but one is just attached to Cleo for some reason . Zed constantly looks like he came from an explosion . His clothes just has permanent splats on it.
And cos theyre all gamers they all have diamond tools/weapons!
