#I love ya my child

[luvendrawingonthemoon]

Happy birthday to my dear friend @astra-blade-13 ! I made this lil fanart of their little fic they made for their 30 day challenge. Shannan and Oifey are such a good ship, I love the dynamic of bonding by rasing together your adoptive children.

I was hopefully able to draw it during the holidays cause damn my teachers are already killing me after one week back (welp)… But honestly Shannan is such a snack to draw, I'm proud of this one.

One day, we'll have a companion guide of the empyrean series that has the full letters and expanded texts of all the pre chapter snippets because if I don't believe that, I'll disintegrate

Casual reminder that the local teddybear himbo is also a bloodthirsty cultist and he could be coming for you xoxo

also rest in peace Husk, I guess

Blackdragon realises he doesn't have to be beautiful to live a life surrounded by people he loves

And last but not least Dire Wolf is a child now!! She's super cute for a future psychite-dependent swamp creature, and I love her to bits. The older cultists are currently in the process of building a cozy cottagecore bedroom for the three girls to share <3

“Mor, d’ya rememb’r when I said ya could only spook scum?”

Morel nods seriously.

“Well,” Wil grins, “I got’a friend who needs an ex scared straight. Ya up for it?”

Below: A video attachment labeled “Frightened Flightless Birds”

[TW: minor violence, threats of murder, minor psychological torture i guess?

Let me know if you spot an error or if I missed a TW]

—————————

Oswald Cobblepot, commonly known as “The Penguin.”

Morel’s target.

Morel is silent as he follows Cobblepot. Father told him that the inferior bird was “tryin ta date someone, but then gettin’ pissy when he got excited about somethin’ and proved he ‘as more of’a personality than just ‘is pretty face,” so Morel is going to scare him.

Well, terrify is a better word for what Morel is going to do.

Finally, Cobblepot enters an old, grimy apartment building not too far from the Bowrey. He has enough money for something better, Morel knows, but this was all he could get on such short notice.

The man’s apartment is on the fourth floor. Morel quietly scales the side of the building and cracks open a window to the apartment, slipping inside. Cobblepot doesn’t notice them.

Morel is silent as he sneaks behind the couch his target is face-planted on.

“Beware the Court of Owls”, he rasps, the sound seeming to come from all sides. (So what is he installed tiny speakers all over the room beforehand for extra Spooky Factor. You can’t prove shit)

“That watches all the time,”

Cobblepot has sat up now, scanning the room for intruders.

“Ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch,”

“Where are you?! Show yourself!” Cobblepot shouts. Morel can hear the fear tracing his words.

“Behind granite and lime.”

Cobblepot is standing now, scanning the room for anything amiss. He doesn’t spot anything.

“They watch you at your hearth,”

“Is this about the lounge? I didn’t blow it up! That was all Eddie’s fault-“

“They watch you in your bed,”

Cobblepot is shaking now.

“Speak not a whispered word of them,”

Morel draws two of his knives, the sound echoing around the room.

“Or they��ll send the Talon for your head.”

Morel flips out of his hiding spot, landing on the back of the couch with a knife in each hand.

“Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot.”

Morel didn’t go quite so far as to put on the old costume, but he is wearing all black and a specifically painted mask, so it’s not real far off.

“You have been weighed,” Morel moves closer. “You have been measured,” Closer still. “And you have been found wanting.”

Cobblepot still stands frozen five or so feet in front of Morel.

“The Court has sentenced you to die.”

Before their target can react, Morel dashes forward and jumps to draw a long, shallow line across his throat. Nothing that would require anything more than neosporin and a bandaid.

“But not quite yet.”

And then he’s gone, disappeared into the night.

Bro i was listening to Taylor swift and ‘don’t blame me’ song reminded me of Rin deadass

✦゜ANSWERED: YEAHHHHH!! IT TOTALLY FITS HIM!! @yourunhingedgirlfriend once made a Ren mood board(?) including that song as well, and it hasn't left my mind since ^^ <3

But yeah!! I still stand by the headcanon that [REDACTED] is in his Reputation era and Ren is in his Lover era ;v; Also, in this 391,490,009 page essay I will be talking about how "Mastermind" and "Hey Stephen (Taylor's Version)" are such Ren/[REDACTED] coded songs, and that the entire Evermore and Folklore albums were the inspiration behind Elanor's charac-

[eff-plays]

Not exactly a dadstarion truther either (mostly bc it took me a while to actually warm up to the idea and also hes NEVER having kids with my durge, only my tav (can you imagine this man parenting a Bhaalspawn? A dhampir Bhaalspawn?? Nonono.)) But I do find something a little compelling about the thought of this man who a) has had absolutely nothing of his own for as long as he can remember and b) sees himself as worthless and irreparably fucked up creating this tiny new person? Like, they're part of him, he made this precious little creature (with the person he already loves most)? This soft and innocent thing? (Which he would waffle awfully between wanting to keep innocent for as long as possible but also making sure they know about life's horrors so they can avoid them) Like sure the baby version is annoyingly loud and can't do anything and also gross and smells but he can teach the toddler to bite people. He is the absolute worst enabler, spoils the kid rotten. Teaches them to steal and pick locks and just lets them get away with murder. Parent #2 has to do all the actual parenting part cuz damn he's not doing the discipline thing at all.

Also the vain part of him likes looking at his kid and sort of seeing some of his face in them, since he can't use an actual mirror.

Well he'd be cured by the time he has the kid or soon after in my canon, so that last part wouldn't apply for me.

And yeah, when I say that I'm not a dadstarion truther I don't mean that I don't see it happening ever, but more that to me, that first step in itself is the one that I see as least likely.

Because I can accept that he would learn to love the kid, that he would care about it and spoil it. I can also accept (and would gladly explore) him having a complicated relationship with the kid, either early on in a postpartum depression sort of way, or further down the line in a "I can't find common ground with my teen/young adult" sort of way (or both lbr).

The problem, to me, is that I don't see Astarion going "let's have a kid!" I don't see him genuinely wanting one, and I don't see him finding any reason to lie about wanting one, and I don't see Hira believing any of those lies even if he does try. It's really the initial hurdle. The rest I'm happy to make as dysfunctional and weird as it would realistically be when a guy who shouldn't be a dad becomes a dad. One of the reasons I came up with Critter is because I find it compelling how much Astarion is not a dad guy, and how that would fuck up a person like Critter. That's juicy stuff. And also a way for me to work out my own daddy issues I guess lmao.

But getting that started? Actually inventing a reason for how Astarion would even agree to it? That's where I struggle. And that's why I'm torn. Cuz I do want to stay true to my own interpretation of a character, while also wanting to create a new character and put them both (and also Hira) in situations.

Like I'm happy for all the dadstarion peeps who have cool dhampir girlies running around on adventures and I'd love to join them, but I also think that if I were true to Astarion's characterization, that kid would have issues. Like maybe a lot of them.
