Thanks for the tag @mikuchan! 💜

What are you currently...

Reading: I'm between books right now, actually. I'm still waiting on a library hold for The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling.

In the meantime, I reread The God is Not Willing to prepare for the new Malazan book this year. Now I'm waffling between a Nona the Ninth reread or getting through the last book in Tasha Suri's Burning Kingdoms. Not to mention I should do a Black Company reread because of the new books in that series soon...

Watching: I'm going to see Weapons this weekend and I really can't wait.

Playing: Not much right now. Don't really have the time to run any TTRPGs and no video games really grab my attention at the moment.

Also, I'm playing more drums and guitar lately. Not really writing any music, though.

Making: It's break time for a minute, but before the end of 2025 I want to finish an original short story and get started on Published Novel Attempt #4. Fingers crossed this will be the one lol.

Fannish stuff is mostly prioritizing Kinktober and any little ideas my brain stumbles across.

Some tags for anyone that might want to do this: @arach-tinilith @askweisswolf @jasminethetransvampire @dragonologist-phd @razzberrydazz @siyurikspakvariisis and anyone else not tagged can consider me tagging them :)

I am having the time of my life with this au

Didn’t wanna do real line art so take a colored sketch it’s a mess :D

[optiwashere]

Well, we're finally here. It's my two-year anniversary of posting BG3 fic today, so what better time to post this epilogue?

I didn't know when I would ever finish this fic, but the actual timing of the ending came up on me by surprise. Even though I've known for a while this is how it would end. It's not the last time I'll be writing Asheera/Shadowheart, not by a long shot.

But let's bask in this for a bit. Just like them.

Rating: E for graphic violence and sex throughout the fic

Ship: F/F | Shadowheart/Trans Fem Tav

Chapter Summary:

A glimpse into tomorrows lived.

waters of oblivion

This piece was inspired by J.E.Millais’ Ophelia and well… Shadowfell portal. I mirrored it tho cause like this angle more

Finishing up a longstanding writing project always leaves me with a weird mixture of seemingly conflicting feelings. I need to let myself bask in the good feelings for a little while. Hopefully longer than a few days this time.

[optiwashere]

My idea for a cover of @optiwashere 's fic "Blades in the Night" (which you should read, btw).

[optiwashere]

last art of the year and it is predictably still shadowheart related - thank u @optiwashere for commissioning me! (asheera uses she/her)

[optiwashere]

So I've been meaning to post this ever since I was sent it, but I also wanted to make sure it was OK with the artist to post it.

Once again, the lovely @cfcreative gifted us something magical. Thank you so much for making this 💜

For fans of the Nightsongs AU, you might recognize this scene from Chapter four...

The first one is the crop that feels best to me, but if you insist on seeing the Denny's sign then that's the second version. Also, a full crop on Shadowheart to see the little details she added!

[optiwashere]

I offer you some Asheera/Shadowheart fanart doodles, been meaning to do a doodle of them for a while because I enjoy your writing and finally got around to it! Enjoy <3

Oh my god, this is so adorable!!!💜

The lil blushes, the hearts. It's so sweet! This is so lovely of you to send, and it's ridiculously charming.

Thank you for drawing the blorbos, and thank you so much for sending this to me! I love them... and of course thank you for the lovely comment about the writing :)

[optiwashere]

a recently finished comm for the lovely @optiwashere <3 i ADORE her writing and especially her tav Asheera, it was such a pleasure to draw her :)

[optiwashere]

my gift to U ❤️ byebye

Omg...

This is so gorgeous!!! I love how you drew her! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift 💜

The slope of her muscles, the hard-set and tired eyes, her cheeks... it's all so lovely! Her nose, I cry. This was incredibly sweet of you to draw and to send to me, I love your rendition of my bbygrl so much... thanks again!

[optiwashere]

Chewing on the walls over this absolutely incredible piece of art I commissioned from @araneapeixes. Thank you so much again! It was a delight to work with Lux and I cannot recommend them enough 💜

The girls turned out amazing, and I adore the way they drew my bbygrl Asheera (she/her for the newcomers)

Here's a preview with a hopefully tumblr-friendly version beneath the cut.

Any fic readers might spot a familiar piece of jewelry hanging out in the background ;)

Sketch commission of my girls Asheera/Shadowheart by @geezmarty! Thank you for the amazing work you did with them 💜

They were super easy to work with as well, and they made the girls look so fucking cute together.
