@nestaarcheronweek | Day Two: Metamorphosis

“I feel nothing”, Nesta said silently. […]

“Is that not what you wanted? To feel nothing?”

“I thought that was what I wanted. […] But no longer. […] I want to feel everything. I want to embrace it with my Whole heart.”

“Even the things that hurt and hunt you?” Only curiosity laced the question.

Nesta allowed herself a breath to ponder it, stilling her mind once more. “We need those things in order to appreciate the good. Some days might be more difficult than others, but… I want to experience all of it, live through all of it. With them.”

That wise, soft voice whispered, “So live, Nesta Archeron.” – A Court of Silver Flames, Chapter 77

Although Nesta transforms in more than one way, her embracing life in its entirety, with its ups and downs, as opposed to not caring about her own death as long as she no longer felt anything, will always be my favorite transformation.

To represent this, I asked Pablo to illustrate Nesta in two moments: the trauma of being submerged in the cauldron manifesting itself during the bath and her swimming serenely. Pablo even suggested that we use John Everett Millais’ Ophelia as a reference, because of the colors, but the idea that Nesta, as opposed to Ophelia, ends up alive because she chose to live, warms my heart and I’m very happy to finally share this illustration.

I gotta give props to Tamlin. He was fighting a war on three fronts.

He did well and he came out a war hero and the better male. I'm proud of you Tamlin. You may be at rock bottom but it is up from here now unless SJM kills you. But I have faith the fic writers will resuscitate you.

Lady Death🖤 by xohikka [twitter]

Ecce dominus

The scariest part of acosf wasn’t the blood rite or feyre almost dying or cassian getting controlled by the crown it was actually amren introducing the idea of high king.I already despise the idea of high king so much as it is but RHYS as high king??? Yeah I think I speak for all of prythian when I say I’d rather die than have that happen.

Fuck, marry, kill

Fuck- Lucien. I almost chose Eris but I'm actually kinda scared of him. I'm inexperienced and I feel like Lucien would be more gentle and attentive to my needs.

Marry- Tamlin obviously. I can be his perfect little wife. I hate politics so I'm not getting into his business beyond charity work. Dress me up in pretty dresses and jewelry and I'll be happy. Most importantly,I can fix him.

Kill- Rhysand. That's my wedding present to Tamlin.

he taste like shit. 🩸

Fix-it AU

one comment made me think what would happen if Astarion brought my Durge to Cazaldor before the main story.

Final Day of @tamlinweek! Thanks for this amazing event!

Inspired by this post @kateprincessofbluewhales @achaotichuman @riote y'all are so fuckin funny, I just couldn't pass it up!

all im saying is that if you put me in a room alone with tamlin and gave me a weighted blanket, a burn book, and the ability to stream family tree by ethel cain, i could help that man work through all of those big feelings he’s never had the chance to deal with

“Be Happy , Feyre”

I commissioned this scene with artist @chelzd_art and she brought it to life PERFECTLY! I love the emotion in Feyre & Tamlins faces and what this moment signifies between them.He saved Rhysand so the love of his life could go be happy with the love of her life.🥹❤️

I know everyone has their opinions on Tamlin but I have loved him from the beginning because he is exactly like the beast from beauty and the beast. From his good to his bad moments & traits. No I don’t condone or agree with all his actions but I do feel he has a good heart. He truly loved Feyre and Prythian even though the way he went about showing it was not always right.

The Song “cold” by Crossfade really remind me of Tamlin. Someone who has a good heart but has to fight their own demons and learn how to heal from that.

“I never really wanted you to see

The screwed up side of me that I keep

Locked inside of me so deep

It always seems to get to me

I never really wanted you to go

So many things you should have known

I guess for me there’s just no hope

I never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say

Is I’m sorry for the way I am (is I’m sorry for the way)

I never meant to be so cold (I am)

Never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say

Is I’m sorry for the way I am (is I’m sorry for the way)

I never meant to be so cold (I am)

Never meant to be so cold”

portrait collection - Astarion

I've been filling my sketchbook with portraits of characters from Baldur's Gate 3 for quite a while. I was pretty busy during the last month, but now I finally had the time to color some of my favorites. I'm pretty happy with the ones I've finished, so I thought I might share them as well.

Here I've Astarion. I find him quite annoying to have around and not as useful as some other companions, but I must admit he's really good looking and always fun to draw, especially his hair 😂

"...You wish to share?"

The Heir of Spring

Tamlin x Archeron!Reader

Summary: When one of Feyre's sisters' stabs Tamlin in the arm, the male took a strange liking to her, he had hoped she had been the one to kill the wolf he could love her ferocity; only she wasn't but she tracked Feyre through the woods and into the Fae realms to show up on Tamlin's doorstep. The rest is history as the two fall in love and start their own family.

Prompt: Heir Of Spring

Warnings: War, violence, blood, family disagreements, feyre and rhys slander, nesta and elain slander kind of.

Word Count: 5,402

Notes: A bit smaller but a good start to Tamlin week, this may be a thing I revisit and do a prologue or multiple parts to delving more into their day to day and relationships since this is cannon divergent and kind of an AU of what if the Spring Court didn't fall. And I felt Tamlin needed some character growth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Archeron sisters had become powerful figures before the Hybern war. The oldest a figment of death herself, The next an oracle with powerful visions, the next imbued with the powers of dryads and nymphs, and the youngest a curse breaker with a touch of every court in her blood.

Stories were told of the four sisters, how the youngest was putting her life on the line for the other three but that couldn’t have been farther from the truth; Feyre knew it but wouldn’t speak in favor of the male that had once locked her within the halls of his estate and the sister she had become estranged with.

mfs be like “this is the ugliest man i’ve ever seen i’m glad the fmc dumped him for the shadow daddy” and it’s a (canonically) beautiful man with flowing golden hair and piercing emerald green eyes

Day 1 of @tamlinweek - Heir of Spring

I already did a family portrait for the Vanserras and was itching to draw another one. So here's a tamily picture of Spring featuring baby Tamlin.
