BALDUR'S GATE 3 (2023) dev. Larian Studios

me: two redbull and an adderall for breakfast is the most important meal of the day

my guardian angel (currently taking the form of trent 'The Nine Inch Nails' reznor to try and get me to listen to him): do we think maybe a vegetable would cause less 'Hurt'?

“But it was not your fault but mine / And it was your heart on the line” 🗡️

"The female vampire is sexual and seductive, a creature of great appetites. She is irresistible to both men and women. She is so closely associated with women's sexual and social improprieties, it's no wonder that the female vampire came to be equated with the lesbian in the sexually repressive atmosphere of nineteenth century Europe. The female vampire is she who steps outside the realm of 'feminine' behavior." - Daughters of Darkness: Lesbian Vampire Stories, Pam Keesey

All I need is you. The rest is just details.

More of Wyll drawn in my style. I wanted to make it seem as if he could’ve stepped off a Bridgerton set — haha

sleeping arrangements (not sure tara would ever actually deign to sleep in the same 20ft radius as shovel but who can resist those big shiny insectoid black eyes 🥺)

plus:

pros of wyll nation citizenship: his actual canon content is excellent and having him in your party adds +5 whimsy

cons: i dont think the devs like him :/

“long hair on guys doesn’t make them less masculine. think keanu reeves, jason momoa, danny trejo, or the guy at your local dive bar who rides a motorcycle”

*the crowd nods*

“so long hair doesn’t necessarily determine masculinity”

*the crowd, more hesitant, still nodding*

“butches can have long hair—“

*GUNSHOT*

that wasn't a gunshot, that was my heart stopping and restarting 🥰

*THE CROWD GOES WILD*

Astarion Origin run 24/??

how do you love?

buy me a coffee

editing is so fun. I'm learning what the story I wrote is about

sometimes after you learn what your story is about, you resolve to write a thematically appropriate sequel. this, unfortunately, means you have another section to edit, and now your story means two things. maybe more. imagine.

This post understands editing like nobody else. Everybody else delete your blogs. I want to be alone with OP so we can talk.

honestly instead of writing off monsters like vampires (or just monsters that look more human in general) as being unscary/unsexy why dont you consider the implications of being a thing that can theoretically pass amongst human society but is forever set apart by a deeply inhuman violence a hunger that both elevates you to a position above them (the predator to their prey) and simultaneously debases you (your feral animalism to their sapient complete personhood) why dont you think about the constant control necessary to inhabit this in-between and the vulnerability of shedding that disguise even if only to feed or to kill why dont you contemplate the fear and eroticism of it all. bitch.

A lot of vampires this year…

I’m really happy with how far they push me out of my comfort zone and with how my style has developed, can’t wait to draw even more vampires next year!
