#darkweave?

[swindlefingrs]

Gale asking Durge how they want to be introduced to his mother and Durge being like huh yeah i guess i should have a name?

and then Gale recites every name he knows and the meaning behind it for the next three days while they try to land on something Durge likes

[animentality]

👀 hey, hey, I have a thing for you to think about. Fuck the canon for a minute. Who is your Gortash crack ship with?

I am a fanatic, anon.

I only ship Gortash with the Dark Urge. I have no side ships. I know no other loyalties.

I ship nothing else in Baldur's Gate.

I am the world's most dedicated solo shipper, and I know this makes me utterly depraved...

amaranth, my beloved

[rowandekarios]

if all of gale’s ship names end with “-weave” then. then uh. him and rowan are called shadow weave and that’s unfortunate but also hilarious

[boo-moved]

Komi and Gale should have a ship name

Tagged by @dragonologist-phd to make some of my characters in this picrew! Thanks, it's really cozy!

Decided to do some characters who haven't gotten very much attention in a while, so here's Hazel the orlan fighter from Pillars of Eternity and Ruby the halfling rogue from my brother and my's game of Solasta: Crown of the Magister!

Tagging (no pressure): @orime-stories, @shimmer-like-agirl, @queen-scribbles, @haledamage, and whoever else wants to!

Darkweave

[swindlefingrs]

Gale bringing Durge home to meet his mom and she's trying to get to know this person that makes their son so happy

"so what does your father do?" and how does Durge even break it to his mother who's been worried about him after breaking up with the goddess of magic, losing all his powers, and secluding himself for a year

here he is bringing home the literal child of the god of murder

Morena is never letting Gale out of her sight again

i was just thinking this evening and there were SO MANY fantasy books that i loved as a teenager. like the wind singer trilogy by william nicholson, the chronicles of ancient darkness by michelle paver, the darren shan books, the darkweaver legacy series!!! narnia, ofc. the wizard series that Shall Not Be Named. the stravaganza books! the black magician trilogy. the eragon books.

man. and nowadays i really struggle to find fantasy i want to read bc so much of it seems to be super dense and not as fun or whimsical as the stuff i read when i was a kid.

like, i love contemporary adult fantasy novels like the shades of magic series, the jade city series, the poppy war series. i enjoyed six of crows a lot too, although that is YA. but i don't read anywhere near as much fantasy as i did when i was younger. and that makes me sad!!!!!

anyway. all to say. if you have fantasy book recs that aren't super dense (no tolkien pls) please send them my way!!!!!

Nicobaster: Soulmates/games

For day two I did a collaboration with @thomas-life and we did a combination of both prompts:

And a hastily written and edited little excerpt for ya:

Alabaster sifts through the last of what must've been 30 decks of Mythomagic cards.

"Ah! Found him.! Aevin Lackluster: Master Spellcaster. Edition 4. From the Medieyval Myth campaign. He was and perhaps still is my favorite from that series. A lot of the other editions didn't have actual characters...so it was exciting at the time." Alabaster shrugs non-chalantly but his eyes are practically beaming at the card. As if he's holding a literal piece of his childhood self. And Maybe he is.

Nico grins at him from his seat on the floor. He's hunched over his own mess of cards, looking much like a dragon guarding its hoard of treasure. Cards haphazardly spill out from under his legs emphasizing just how many he has... Alabaster briefly wonders where he had he been keeping them all.

"Not a bad card," Nico agrees, "but he's nothing compared to Myra Darkweave, Necromancer Queen, also from Edition 4." Nico holds up one of the cards, and turns it to face Alabaster. She holds a skull in one hand. Her crown is either silver or bone, and around her neck is a familiar green necklace.

Alabaster examines it. Myra’s picture is one that mostly displays Purple,red and black. But the small splash of green stands out.

“Huh, May I?” He reaches out to take the card.

Nico holds it out for Alabaster to take and feigns scandalized gasp, "You don't have her card? how can you call yourself a fan?"

Alabaster plucks the card from Nico's fingers, careful not to bend or rip it.

"She never came up in the packs I had." He says, shaking his head. "I could only get what I could steal"

Nico continues smirking at him.

Al rolls his eyes. "So annoying" he says. /but attractive/ he thinks.

Nico snorts and starts picking through his cards, organizing them by...color? Alabaster raises an eyebrow at the choice, but seeing as in order to play they'd have to shuffle them anyway he supposes its as good a way as any.

Nico speaks without looking at him, that insufferable smug look refusing to leave his face, "I got a lot of my cards in the Lotus hotel." The smirk drops a little but come back full force a moment later, "I won them by beating the older kids" he snickers, "they were so mad getting bean by a 10 year old...its one of my greatest accomplishments." He preens.

"So you've always been this maddening?" Alabaster quips, as he compares their favorite cards side by side. Imagining Nico as a 10 year old sends shivers down his spine...shivers of dread. They'd probably have hated eachother.

Or perhaps they'dve been friendly Rivals. Alabaster remembers himself at 12.../nah probably enemies actually/. He chuckles to himself and diverts his attention back to the cards and Myra’s green necklace. The pattern and design of it is unmistakable. He looks over to Aevin's card to see that he is wearing that same green necklace.

"D'you...." Alabaster considers. He doesn't remember the lore concerning that particular item. Which is maddening considering he usually knows these things offhand. Was it part of some group?

"Look at this" Al continues. "They both have the same necklace... I can't recall what it signifies... do you know what it's for?"

Nico pauses in his organizing to look at the cards, beautiful dark eyes focusing under thick eyelashes. Alabaster bites the inside of his lip to recenter himself, so he doesn't just start staring at Nico Di Angelo like a looney.

"I think I remember that it was some sort of gift?" Nico shrugs, "or a prize?" Or was it a prized-posession? Nico hates being dyslexic, but honestly he was also 10 when he tried to read it so his memory might be faulty.

Alabaster hums. "I see. Well!" He whips out his trusty enchanted glasses that help him read. "Maybe I can look it up."

He pulls out an mythomagic handbook that is so worn that Nico might've mistaken it for an ancient artifact.

He flips through tissue thin pages. "Ah, here we are" Aevin's necklace was made by him, he carved protection runes on the back of the pendant to keep the wearer safe. (Plus 5 defense and plus 2 evasion). So it's a protection necklace...but why is it..." Alabaster’s eyes travel to a small fact box on the side of the page. "When he got married he gifted it to his beloved wife...Myra Darkweave. Who gave him her bracelet in exchange. To solidify them as soulmates through the ages..."

Alabaster looks over to Nico. /what a coincidence/ he thinks. That those two are their favorites...

@them-awesome-rarepairs please accept our late submission 😅 thank you!!!

[wild-magic-oops]

some people even have their own ship name for their own Tav/Durge x Gale, meanwhile here I am with... durgegale 🥴 very creative but idk what else to call it?? darkweave or smth but that doesn't sound particularly distinctive ig, and it emphasizes the "dark" which feels counterproductive for a resist!Durge

It's a purple kind of day

Meet Eivyre. She's a darkweaver, a species of ettercap found in the shadowfell. After moving to Sigil, she's become very interested in the huge variety of food in the city. She's still learning how to cook, so please be patient with her.

This is Cylrynna, a manuspectra (this world's equivalent of crawling claws). She claims that she was executed for theft, but Sigil's homicide detectives tell a different case.

And that's it for today. Tomorrow, the retriever.
