#drow smash or pass

[novarex]

Allright, I'm doing DROW SMASH OR PASS, Legend of Drizzt and Waf of the Spider Queen characters. I've seen this back in the tags and I want to play.

Drizzt Do'Urden - PASS - idk, he's not really my type, and he's just a little bit boring. It would also feel wrong somehow, and I don't know how to explain it. I mean... I wouldn't say no if he asked, but Cattie-Brie would have to be dead and I'd probably ask if he's sure like 10x.

Jarlaxle Baenre - SITUATIONAL - Don't get me wrong, he's lovely, but his personality is too close to mine, and there isn't enough air in one room for the both of us. But get me drunk, and I'd do it for sure.

Gromph Baenre - SMASH - Slamming the smash button until it breaks. If you know me at all you know I'm in love with this pathetic wizard man. He is both brilliant and stupid, and just the right amount of sarcastic, arrogant, sad, and pathetic. I would marry him. He wouldn't get a moment of peace because I'd be trying to entice him into bed 24/7. It's like he was written specifically for me to fall in love with. When he went missing in WOTSQ, I would have turned the city to rubble and made the rivers run red with blood looking for him. I know Cattie-Brie was pissy about the suggestive fantasies he put in her head with psionics, but I would literally learn psionics just to play a game of horny thoughts tag all day.

Zaknafein Do'Urden - SITUATIONAL - a bit too self righteous for my taste, and I think I'd probably get on his nerves. But I'd never turn down that legendary dick if I had a few shots in me. He's got some anger issues I'd prefer to steer clear of.

Kimmuriel Oblodra - PASS - I just don't think he'd be into it. I would also be incredibly uncomfortable with him having that much access to my thoughts. Unless, of course, he's into the wild fantasies that my brain cooks up...and in that case... we might turn this into a smash.

Rai'gy Bondalek - PASS - Strong possibility that he'd just make me self conscious. He's certainly intriguing, but he'd hate me for sure.

Dinin Do'Urden - SMASH - Dinin, my love. I would scoop him up and take him to a cottage in the woods and make sure his belly is full and his balls are empty and have all of his babies. I would brutally torture and maim anyone who ever dared to hurt him. I would burn cities to ash and end bloodlines for him. Dinin deserves so much better. I'm desperate for more Dinin, especially after the events of Lolth’s Warrior.

Rizzen Do'Urden - SMASH - I'd keep him as a pet. What malice did to him is unforgivable.

Nalfein Do'Urden - SMASH - I don't even know why other than he's pathetic in thre way that I like.

Beniago Baenre - SMASH - He's adorable. I would insist on him in his natural drow form, however. I bet he's a good lover too. In One Eyed Jax, Jarlaxle teases him a bit because he's definitely into human women. He smart, personable, and he definitely knows how to please a woman.

Braelin Janquay - SMASH - He deserves everything. I find him irresistibly adorable. He's spent more of his life outside of Menzoberranzan than in and has a pretty strong disdain for Lolthian culture. He is smart and clever and Jarlaxle adores him. Braelin has also suffered a lot and remains so loyal to Jarlaxle. Everything about him is attractive to me. He has quickly rocketed to my 3rd favorite, with Gromph as my #1 and Dinin as a very close #2.

Valas Hune - SMASH - I feel like we might genuinely get along. He'd be good to go camping with somewhere far from everyone else. I really thrive with one on one interactions, especially someone who needs personal space too.

Ravel Xorlarrin - SMASH- I have amended this to smash. He has grown on me considerably. He's clever and not easily intimidated. I respect that.

Brack'thal Xorlarrin - SMASH - Ok, I know he's only in one book (Charon's Claw) but he checks all of the "he's pathetic and tragic in all the right ways" boxes. His whole story makes me want to swoop him up and carry him off. Charon's Claw starts off so strong with him being kicked around that I just immediately wanted to protect him. His whole story just has me in a grip. It's really a shame we only got one book of him.

Tiago Baenre - HARD PASS - Fuck no. No way. I mean maybe if it gave me the opportunity to cut his throat, then I would make that sacrifice. He's the only irredeemable fuck face I can't find anything to like about. I'd kick him in the nuts.

Dantrag Baenre - SMASH - He definitely knows how to fuck. He's big too, which would be extra fun. I also have a weakness for Baenre boys.

Berg'inyon Baenre - SMASH - He seems like he'd know what he's doing, and if he didn't, he'd learn real quick.

Pharaun Mizzrym - SMASH - Let me be clear... I would not trust him at all. But come on, you know that sex has to be amazing. He knows what he's doing, is so good that he's an arrogant shit about it, and you'll definitely have a lot of orgasms. You know your legs won't work for a week after. There's a reason he's such a pain in Gromp's ass and it's because he's a wildly competent shitass.

Ryld Argith - MAYBE - He's just so practical it hurts. He also just doesn't seem to care that much about anyone other than Pharaun.

Nimor Imphrazel - SMASH - Half drow half dragon rabble rouser? Absolutely sign me the fuck up.

Allright. I'm not sure if I've missed anyone.

Tagging @vspin, @grandma-kei, @drizztdohurtin, and anyone else who wants to play. Feel free just to do the ones you know or add to it. I know I just did dudes.

[ttrpg-smash-pass-vs]

On the left, the shadowblade! Cursed elves, 4′7″-5′5″ (1.5-1.7 m) range, generally sadistic assholes due to thier goddess personally hunting and killing any good ones. However, exceptions do exist, and shadow blades are more likely than most to not be actively malicious. The shadowblade can summon a shadow demon, levitate, and teleport! They're spies and assassins, and actually much less likely to be an asshole than most drow. They're usually freelance assassins or actively foiling their patron diety's plans!

On the right, the frost salamander! Ice elementals that slip into our world sometimes to hunt and eat anything warm. Huge size, so somewhere in the 16-32 ft (4.9-9.8 m) range. They like burrowing into the ice to form massive caverns, rolling in ice (scratches their back), and eating sources of heat (from people to fire). Only surprising bit is that their intelligence is on par with the average orc, letting them catch people off guard with their wit!

OC smash or pass game!

Thank you @miseryscrowned for the tag!

Meet Riana Ka'Lindri, my oldest DnD OC. And by far one of most detailed ones...

She's been to one base game (Neverwinter Nights) and two DLCs, and in each found a new girfriend. Just couldn't make up her mind! finally settled herself for a while with a hot tiefling merchant lady from the last DLC... But well she had some one-night stands. Had a soft spot for red-haired tieflings, but only after meeting and leaving that merchant, before they could reunite)

Thinks herself noble and good, but her found family includes some rogues and an ex-pirate.

Probably has mommy issues (she didn't know her mother well, was raised more by the community).

Can seem naive and idealistic.

Drow with traits of a stereotypical light elf. Even plays harp really well. Yet doesn't shoot arrows because...

Devoted Elistraee worshiper. Grew up in a forest Eilestraeean community (therefore bastard sword all the way. Imagine a petite girl who can swing a bastard sword rather skillfully!)

Nickname "violet". That's how I often call her myself because well she's such a violet, it suits her!

So between Astarion and DU Drow. Which is top or bottom. Or is it mainly a switch relationship.

It's based on who wins the pre-smash wrestling match, which you would THINK DU drow would have the upper hand on but Astarion knows how to make him lose his center of gravity because they've done this so many times, so as long as he goes for the ankles/knees their shots are pretty much equal. After a winner has been chosen someone will usually shoot mid frot/grabass/head anyways and just not feel like having anal anymore. Then, the other will say something to the essence of "alright but can you at least jerk me off so I can finish as well" and they'll mutter "Yeah sure" and do their due diligence. Then DU drow passes out for 7 hours and Astarion reads a book.

[static-sulker]

I might maybe possibly be thinking of a modern fantasy apartment AU with the main crew. All of them being stupid ass magical roommates without tadpoles...Just letting them be happy.

Also my Tav is in there because...yeah. His name is Silk and he is such a silly guy ridden with the 'tism. Drow Warlock who sees the good in everything... Such a...A yeah...

Little notes i've been conjuring about this...

Gale and Wyll made a chore chart in the kitchen, with little magnets for each person. Astarion regularly will switch his magnet in the middle of the night just so he doesn't have to do the fucking dishes and EVERYBODY knows besides Gale and Wyll. Wyll is on the fence about it, but Gale wholeheartedly believes when Astarion lies through his teeth about never having done it.

Karlach and Halsin go on grocery runs in the mornings. Karlach goes for the running part, while Halsin comes along for the run as well as to stop Karlach from buying the most horrendous shit. The one time she went alone very early in the houses lifespan, Karlach bought like 3 bags of go-gurt, about 50 dollars worth of cheap booze, and a big piece of raw steak to cook. She burnt said steak. But she's trying now, at least.

The team will take turns every now and then to get Astarion blood from themselves as it gives Astarion a lot more energy then normal settling blood. BUT they do have "blood bags" that they set up in the kitchen fridge whenever they know nobody with the right blood is gonna be available to give him blood if he needs it. They TOTALLY get it by legal means and it TOTALLY doesn't melt Astarions heart that they try so hard to help him.

Silk finds a stray dog in the alleys of their building one day when they went out to work (they do freelance art with their magic for like startups, it's fun). After casting "speak with animals" they find out this dog, Scratch, is waiting for his owner to return. His owner was killed out by some gnoll gang downtown. When they come back from work later in the evening, they find Scratch again, still waiting. Long story short, Silk adopts scratch in their very strict "no pets" rule of an apartment. And don't get me STARTED on the owlbear cub. Lae'zel and Halsin were out, originally to get some spare lightbulbs and tools for the apartment and find the little critter getting chase by some goblins in some backalley parking lot. Lae'zel plans to ignore the thing, but Halsin assists the cub. Once done, they plan to leave, before the cub begins to follow them home. Halsin names the cub "Vauva" and Lae'zel soon becomes SO attached.

They have presentation nights, where everybody makes slideshows about literally anything. Last week, Gale made one about the conflicts of archmages and the idea of apprentices. Karlach then made a tier list on the worst monsters ever documented, Lae'zel helped with that one. Shadowheart made this whole discussion over her favorite and least favorite teas (she fuckin' hates green tea for like no reason). Wyll made one on Baldurs Gate history. Astarion made a smash or pass list of all of the political leaders in Baldurs Gate. Silk made a presentation on the weirdest underdark myths and rumors they have heard on their time above ground. Halsin presented (well more like persuaded) on getting a new herb for their kitchens row of herbs and spices set on the windowsill. They have too many and he got like 5 minutes of stand time before Karlach kicked him off.

Lae'zel hate-cleans when shes mad at somebody in the apartment. Basically, she cleans every room in the entire fucking apartment BESIDES any of said "victims" parts of the house. One time, she got into a fight with Shadowheart and threw all of the dirty laundry she had so carefully put into the laundry room back into her room just all over the fucking place. If shes calm though, the house is normally fairly clean under her and Wyll's watch. It's one of the only things they agree on.

Because every bg3 piece of content I make loops back to bloodweave, I think they would have a little reading time together. Like whenever everybody is settling down for the night and they are up for it, they take this lovely window seat couch/bed thing in Gales room and just take out a good bottle of wine and a book for each of them and just read until late. They originally did this separately, but when the two find themselves both in the living room at 2 in the morning reading, they decide in silent agreement to make it routine. They sometimes read in silence, other times just talking absently about anything. Shadowheart finds out first by coming in to Gales room late one night to return a book he lent to her to find the two both passed out, tucked away in the window, books still in hand before they accidentally passed out. Shadowheart then teases them with photos the morning after.

Karlach and Lae'zel both do these really intense shadowboxing exercises in Karlachs room whenever the two have freetime and enough energy to go through with it. It's a heated bitter rivalry in the eyes of the githyanki, but Karlach just loves a little workout with her friend! Lae'zel does enjoy the workouts, as she doesn't get many options to really let off ALL of her steam, even if she works at a gym as a personal trainer. She is constantly told shes a bit TOO rough with the clients so she has to "tone it down". So it's nice.

Astarion and Shadowheart have girls nights. Like they paint each others nails and watch like twilight together (ironically they get so heated at how wrong they get it. "Just another human writer writing about shit she doesn't get" is used a lot in their rewatches). They also talk about like...their feelings. But it's very sparse and done so by a copious amount of wine (wine with a heavy amount of blood on the side for Astarion). Both of them never got to have moments like this in their childhoods, of just pure calmness and domestic childhood enjoyment, so they make due with what they can.

BY THE HELLS I JUST REALIZED I WROTE THIS MUCH. DAMN OKAY.

[ttrpg-smash-pass-vs]

Fuck it lets do this one early because I'm excited. A battle of the classics! On the left is the orc! 6 ft (1.8 m) tall and naturally beefy, enhanced by a love of fighting and wrestling. 5e orcs are either green or greyish blue depending on the setting/location, this one being grey. Come on, I don't need to sell you on the ORC. You knew your answer before I asked the question.

The average drow is a 5 foot (1.5 m) cursed elf that's cartoonishly evil to the point of parody. That's not actually innate, their goddess just personally has the good ones killed and tries to manipulate/torment them to be even more evil. So there are actually nice ones, but the average drow that actually survives to adulthood is going to be sadistic and dominant. Primed and ready if you're into manipulation and being used!

[perpetualmaladaptivedaydream]

Okay, preface time. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm not normally a writer and am not close to the amazing talent I see here time and time again. I'm not trying to even remotely compete with them. But, I was inspired by a set of screenshots I took the other day and decided to write about it. And I have no idea who to share it with other than the people who just...get obsessing over your characters. You know? If you're mean to me I will cry (I'm mostly kidding).

Anyway. No smut, all fluff. Basically an act I character info dump. Enjoy 💜

Adeline swayed and twirled in the day’s last bit of sunlight. Her mind and body were exhausted, but somehow a restless energy inside compelled her to move. Her surroundings were her song: the soft bubbling notes of the stream, the sweet serenade of wind through the trees, the beginning of the crickets’ night song - all blending in perfect unison. An exquisite symphony that pulled her from the horrors of her current reality, if only for a moment.

“Where did you learn to dance?” A voice startled her from her self-made reverie. It was the wizard she had pulled from the glowing sigil only two days before. The wizard that insisted on privacy but never stopped talking. The wizard who consistently seemed worried about something. The wizard that she noticed oftentimes looking to her for answers during conversations even though they had known each other a few days.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to alarm you. I only came this way to refill my water. And also escape from camp for a moment. That cleric and the Githyanki woman are practically growling at each other and I don’t want to be there when it finally turns volatile.”

For the first time since she had been abducted, a true laugh escaped. “A fair point.”

“So,” he asked again, “where did you learn to dance?”

“Oh, um.” She shrugged and shook her head. “I was never formally taught.” A pregnant pause filled the air as she flattened and adjusted her dress. “Actually, dancing was forbidden in my home.”

Another pause, this time longer. Adeline saw the questioning look in his eyes, as if he were trying to decide if she was being funny. There was a twinge of regret for even saying it aloud. She’d never told another living soul of her childhood. But there was something about him that made it seem easy to get the words out.

So she continued, “As early as I can remember, my body craved movement. It was as if I was made of water and I flowed to the very ends of my extremities. That is, until I was no longer allowed. My mother advised me that ‘a respectable matron would never demean herself in the arts’ and from then on I was forced to control my ‘urges’.”

“That’s preposterous,” he scoffed, “I know the Drow are known for engaging in more…brutal��pastimes, but I was not aware of their distaste of entertainment.”

“Not all Drow. Just my mother. My mother and I attended many feasts and social gatherings that included music, art, and dancing. But participating? It was unheard of.”

“That must have been arduous. How exactly does a child pass the time when they are not allowed artistic freedom?”

“Books. We had quite the extensive library in our home.” 

His expression lifted at her response, a soft light in his eyes. “Ah, books. We have that in common.”

A soft smile played at her lips in return. “And just because I was ‘forbidden’ didn’t mean I always obeyed. Once, my brother and I found an old lute in our attic. We were only children, so it only added to the fun that we played it in secret. He would clumsily pluck at the strings as I twirled to the uneven sounds, pretending that I was performing for an adoring audience.”

Her breath caught in a gentle snort of amusement at the recollection. There weren’t very many childhood memories that gave her warmth.

“But it wasn’t long before one of Mother’s servants found us. He screamed something about how our mother was never to find out, snatched the lute from my brother’s hands, and smashed it onto the floor. We were hauled from the attic and my brother dragged into his room, the door slamming hard behind him. I’m not sure what happened after that, but he was locked in his room for three days. He didn’t speak for a week afterwards.”

“Gods…,” He muttered under his breath. “And, what happened to you?”

She shook her head. “Nothing. I locked myself in my room out of fear, but I never even received a punishment. I never knew what happened to my brother. He refused to ever speak on it and he died a year later. Soon after, I learned that I was to be trained in my ‘matronly duties’ and it finally motivated me to go topside. I didn’t want to become my mother and I wasn’t made for the violent nature of my people. I wanted something…more gentle for myself.”

“I’m sorry.”

For the first time since they met, the wizard had very little to say. He instead looked at her with those pitiful puppy eyes…the same he had when he thought no one was looking. She was not the only one with a sad story, she supposed. 

A soft chuckle escaped her lips. “For what? I’m the happiest I’ve been my entire life. Well, aside from the new tenant in my skull. It took a while to adjust to the sunlight, sure, but the moment I first felt the sun’s heat and summer breeze on my skin I felt lighter than I ever had before.” She closed her eyes and lifted her face into the sun’s warmth. It felt similar to that first day on the surface. “And do you know the first thing I did?”

“You danced?”

“I did.”

|Astral Intro- Aesir|

✧ Birth Name / Chosen Name / Alias / Nickname(s):

Aesir Corvus (born Eilryl Galtheval), aka Crow [of Athkatla], Deadeye (courtesy of Karlach)

✦ Race & Subrace:

Half-high elf

✧ Age | Gender | Pronouns:

27 | Nonbinary | They/them

✦ Class | Subclass:

Rogue | Assassin

✧ Background:

Criminal

✦ Family History:

Mother: Cairoleth Galtheval, a young high elf woman who was a single mother to Aesir. As they grow older, the memories of their mother grow more faint, but she was a very kind, generous, and loving individual. Aesir remembers the way her frail frame held them close, and the soft sadness of her smile. She was chronically ill with a disease that would eventually kill her, and she was unable to hold a full-time job. Instead, she typically traded favors with neighbors, whether that was mending clothes, helping with a few odd chores, watching the kids, etc in order to provide for her own child. She passed away when Aesir was about 9 years old. They still miss her terribly.

Father: Rou Ashbranch, a human man and a deadbeat dad. Aesir has never met him, but has very bitter feelings towards him for leaving their mother when she needed care through her pregnancy and chronic illness.They met another half-sibling prior to Xarek (Kroq, a half-orc that my partner played in a one-shot we did), and they are nearly certain they’re not the only kids.

Brother: Xarek Do’rahel is a half-drow, and Aesir’s younger half-brother. They meet on the nautiloid by chance, and as they adventure together, they learn that they are siblings. Aesir is very protective over their little brother, and they are constantly worried about him because of how impulsive he can be.

Image of Xarek-

✧ Three Words That Describe Them:

Clever, Reserved, Adaptable

✦ Physical Trait / Anomaly / Disability:

Aesir has very prominent scarring over the left side of their face, some of their nose, their lip, and parts of their neck and throat from where an assassination mark fought back. They weren't able to receive any medical help for it and had to take care of their own injuries, causing it to scar way worse than it may have otherwise. Aesir is deeply ashamed of it, and it's a really touchy topic.

They have pretty severe hearing loss on their left side from repeated infections as a child. It's something they've adapted to fairly well, but they do struggle to follow instructions in battle at times. They also definitely need glasses.

They also struggle with anxiety, and they suffer from nocturnal panic attacks. As of the beginning of BG3, Aesir still doesn't know what's happening to them when they're having said panic attacks and they're convinced they're actually dying- that perhaps it's a manifestation of whatever chronic illness killed their mother.

✧ Tadpole Status: Some expanded potential- only started tapping into the powers when fights were getting unbearably tough, after some convincing. They refused the Astral Tadpole.

✦ Game Stats (RP Flavor or Mechanics):

✦ Theme Music:

Alter Bridge- Blackbird

David Fenn, Death’s Door OST- The Crows

A Perfect Circle- Judith

Radiohead- No Surprises

The Smashing Pumpkins- Disarm

✧ Moodboards / Aesthetic Extras:

A little peek at Aesir's Pinterest board-

✦ Voice:

Aesir has a tenor voice. They speak quietly, and often quickly. Around most people, Aesir is soft-spoken. They are far more expressive when around trusted company. When their guard is down, they are very easy to read based on the ever-changing tone of their voice. They have the equivalent of an Irish accent (I guess Northern Dubliner if you care to split hairs). I use Voice 1 for them in-game.

✧ Reputation / What Others Say:

Among the Shadow Thieves, they are not known by face or name to most people, but they have a reputation for their efficiency and surgical precision when taking down marks. They're who you call if you want someone dispatched quietly to send a message or settle a debt.

Anyone else though wouldn't suspect a thing. They come across as sweet to most other people, if a bit nervous at times and almost always visibly on edge.

✦ Beliefs / Personal Code:

Aesir's moral code is a bit contradictory to what one might think. They really want to be a good person, but a lot of their actions don't reflect that. After all, if they're really a good person, wouldn't they just have refused to carry out their assignments?

Aesir has not been able to have a consistent personal code because they have been driven by fear and coerced into doing things they would never have even dreamed of doing on their own accord.

As they gain their freedom, though, they have a view of “help where you can, but don't risk life and limb for a stranger.” They are usually good to other people and kind to strangers, but that's nothing compared to how fiercely loyal they are to those they're close to. Aesir would protect their loved ones with their life partially they don't think they can survive any more grief.

✧ Most Prized Possession: A silver pendant with a small inscription of someone's initials on the back. It was their mother's. They later learn it was a gift from their father, and it's how they're able to find their siblings, because he left a similar gift to all of his conquests.

✦ Greatest Fear: Losing everyone they're close to again, being unable to escape their organization

✧ Alignment (Personal or D&D): Chaotic good

✦ Authors Notes

Poor baby started as a silly dnd one-shot character. My partner and I were rping Aesir and their half-orc half brother, and they found out they were siblings bc they had matching bff necklaces, which is all their father left behind. We joked that they had other half siblings out there bc dad got around. I thought about it a bit more and it's kind of messed up???

I really liked Aesir's design and the premise of having a bunch of half-human siblings though, so I kept them, kept some amount of the backstory, and now here we are.

OC Smash or Pass: Iraeiara

Tagged by: @nyx-knox & @amoremagnificentbastard , thank you both!

Rules: Pretty self explanatory. Include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. The 'Other'-label can be used for ‘sexuality misalignment' (ie: OC is femme and you’re gay, vice versa, or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them, perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc.)

Quick Facts:

Race: Seldarine Drow

Class: Wild Magic Sorcerer / Battle Master Fighter

Height: 5’0”

Age: 31

Gender/ Pronouns: Female, She/Her

Sexuality: TBD....? I'm not entirely sure what she is. Both of her relationships so far have been with men, but it's hard to say for certain lol she's not really the type to "date around" if that makes sense

Oh hoho to try and do this challenge for my emotionally tangled up lil ball of drow. Let's try this... Pros:

Loves to love – Irae is very attentive and dedicates herself to learning and memorizing every detail about her loved ones. She will learn details such as your favorite foods, colors, activities and even the smallest of quirks, and takes great care in mentally updating this list anytime she notices a shift in your preferences. Aside from favorites, she also takes note of any preferences in love language, striving to show affection in the ways which resonate most with those she wishes to love, whether it be through words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, or physical touch. She tries to always be aware of how her loved ones like to be comforted and will go out of her way to provide that comfort to you when needed.

Adores giving physical affection – Irae herself loves to express her own love through actions like soft caresses, gentle touches, and warm embraces. She is tender, and loves kissing those close to her either on the forehead or cheek (lips, if you're... extra close of course 👀). She tries to give those around her a steady sense of security and affection, and devotes herself to making her loved ones relax and feel cared for in her presence.

Protective & Loyal – Her loyalty to you will be unwavering once you become part of her 'inner circle'. Irae takes her role as a protector seriously and tries to always look out for the well-being of her friends and family. She will go to great lengths to protect those she loves, and her close ones can always rely on her to be there for them, no matter the situation.

Empathetic and Understanding – Irae always tries to be a comforting presence to those around her, doing her best to lend a sympathetic ear or understand and share the feelings of those she care for. She is reflective, and often contemplates the actions and motivations of her treasured ones, seeking to understand them on a deeper level.

Genuinely sincere – Despite her skills in charm and manipulation Irae never uses these abilities on her loved ones. Instead, she values honesty and openness in her close relationships and is willing to lay down these emotional weapons of hers and bare her soul to those she trusts, showing off her true self to the best of her ability. It is easy for her loved ones to distinguish between the moments when she is playing a role and when she is being her true self which makes building true and meaningful connections easier. There will be no doubt in your mind that what she feels for you is anything but completely and wholly sincere.

Her eyes. Gods, those eyes – No gaze will leave you feeling quite as exposed as Irae's – and yet, despite this – it's a comforting kind of exposure. Instead of being met with judgement, you will only be met with curiosity. She will see you for all that you are without an ounce of punishment, and she will understand you in your entirety, sometimes without you having to say a single word. Your soul will be safe in her tender hands and piercing gaze.

Cons:

Emotionally unavailable / one-sided – Irae is a natural giver, always ready to provide support and affection. With that said, she struggles with being vulnerable enough to let others give to her in return. This might create an emotional wall or a sense of inequality in her close relationships, as she also finds it hard to accept help or comfort from others. You will have to navigate this and teach her that it is okay to be vulnerable.

Non-discriminatory giver of affection – Irae loves to show affection, regardless of whether the recipient is a friend or a lover. This trait of hers is not ideal if you tend to be the jealous type, as her affections are not reserved solely for her romantic partner 👀

Charming and flirtations manipulator – While Irae avoids using her emotional manipulation tactics on those she values, she is well aware of her charm and beauty and has no qualms about using these traits to manipulate strangers. She will flirt to obtain information or favors, and even though the flirting means nothing to her, it is a behavior which again... can be troubling if you happen to have a bit of a jealous streak lol

Lack of self-identity – At the same time as Irae shows great confidence in her skills and abilities, she struggles with having very little sense of who she is as a person. Even something as simple as defining her hobbies prove extremely challenging, and describing herself and understanding what it is others see in her feels nigh impossible. This insecurity sometimes leads to an overprotectiveness of the little self-image she has, which might lead her to lash out if she feels misjudged. She will need significant support from you as she discovers her true self, and will often fall back on unhealthy and learned behaviors during this journey.

Toxic complaisance – In love, Irae can struggle to assert her thoughts and opinions, which stem from her uncertain sense of self and severe abandonment issues. She may choose to stay quiet during disagreements to 'keep the peace' and avoid further conflict, and thus unintentionally engaging in manipulative behavior. This can lead to bigger issues down the line, as unresolved disagreements are left to fester between the two of you.

Anxious at core – Despite often appearing as someone who is assertive, self-assured, and resistant to stress, Irae is deeply anxious at her core. She can be very self-conscious, and is also success-driven, perfectionistic, and eager to improve, traits which can overwhelm her in times of high stress. Her difficulty in opening up serve to further complicate matters, as these issues of hers sometimes create an unintentional disconnect between her and those who wants to care about her, including you. It may be hard to understand what goes on in that head of hers, and this may lead to reactions which can come off as unexpected.

Emotional withdrawal – When extremely distressed, Irae shuts down completely, and may even run away from the source of her upset. It can take her hours or even days to calm down. And in a fit of vindictiveness, she may chose to hide from the person who upset her, preventing them from apologizing and prolonging the conflict until she is ready to address it. This behavior also stems from her abandonment issues, as she feels like she is preventing what she believes is an inevitable end of your relationship by simply prolonging the much needed discussion. This is of course not a healthy way to cope, and she will need you to be patient as she works on finding healthier ways to calm down after a nasty argument.

OC Smash or Pass 🔥

Thank you to the beautiful and talented @darkurgetrash for the tag (also if this was a format I copied from you, credit to you for that too), I think I also got tagged in the past when this went around but I forgot and I’m sorry.

Tagging: @faerunsbest @barbwillbrb @tealfling @ladyofcrowsandcoffee bring that OC polycule y’all got going this way.,

Time to learn more about my baby and the subject of my upcoming OC x Halsin longfic (don’t worry I’m also releasing Rolan content alongside it!)…

🌙 Luna✨

Height: 6’ 0” (1.8ish Meters)

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/Her

Age: 50-60 (Not even middle aged yet!)

Sexuality: Pansexual

Pros:

1. Half Drow are pretty rare above ground and she’s been living largely in hiding (and helping others hide) since escaping Menzoberranzan 30ish years ago so you’re catching her at the right time.

2. Her mans cool with it (Halsin).

3. When not in armor, loves being as close to nude as she can be (in observance of her Goddess) but will stay decent when people are around.

4. Is secretly a Drizzt Do’Urden fan and is kind of a dork about it.

5. Deep down is all soft and sweet you just have to dig a little.

Cons:

1. So much childhood trauma

2. This is just a fling, she’s got to get back to resettling Moonrise Towers with Halsin and the refugees.

3. Is a tempest cleric who is slightly prone to losing control of her powers and thunderwaving everyone around her real hard.

4. Has beef with Lolth and every Lolth-Aligned Drow.

5. That childhood trauma, yeah it’s going to act up at the worst times for the narrative (big fights, dramatic moments, etc.)

And so with that, I ask:

[oc-smashorpass]

(She/Her)

half-drow, half-orc, all druid, aleksei was

''''adopted"''' out of the underdark by the faerie queen of the summer court at a young age and raised among the fae. she's now the queen's left hand woman and errand girl, sent on dangerous missions to other planes to retrieve powerful artifacts and curiosities for her lady. as a druid and party healer, she feels immense personal responsibility for the lives and wellbeing of those she cares for, which hasn't been going so hot for her lately.

externally she's stoic, unflappable, and has a very fae-like streak of mischief; internally she struggles with identity, her place in the world, and her sense of worth in relation to her usefulness to others. she feels somewhat unsuited to the politics and showmanship at court, but finds that one can wildshape their way out of most situations if they're not a coward.

she's 6'3" with a dick to match, a switch, and certainly not above using her magic for horny purposes. also her best friend is a bird. who can argue with that.

[meanbossart]

just saw the du drows cock head in art and what the hell happened to it. was it orin or what?

Nope! Done it himself. He had a "hissy fit" at some point as a bhaalspawn and basically decided he wanted to, erm, take his genitalia out of the equation. Not remove it, but make it non-functional.

He also enjoys receiving pain under the right circunstances, and as he would go on to learn from this very experience, those were NOT the right circumstances. He only got as far as you saw in the art before passing out and Sceleritas had to come to the rescue; stop the bleeding, patch him up, maybe give him a couple of stern words the likes he hadn't since DU drow was a teenager - he probably got flung into a wall and smashed like a bug for it as soon as DU was able to see straight again.
