Prompt: Children of Eternity

Prompt: Children of Eternity

So this would be a Shazam/Thor: Love and Thunder Crossover (though with very little Thor himself)

Shazam has Billy Batson as the hero Shazam/Captain Marvel who is based out of the Rock of Eternity. This could work on either comic version or movie version, the main difference (that I care about) being just how old Billy is. I find how silly he is in Shazam 2 a bit hard to take if he’s almost 18. That attitude makes far more sense as a much younger Billy ala comics. There are other differences obviously but for condensed movies I find them entertaining as is. The deeper lore is always better, but done poorly would not be an improvement.

Anyway.

I imagine Billy and his siblings are chilling in their lair at the Rock of Eternity when one of the fancier doors in the lair that they could never open (one of the siblings liked to explore the doors). Out tumble a bunch of dirty, underdressed, not all human looking kids (if any are human, we know there are aliens and Asgardians) who were obviously just fighting and sparking electricity.

These kids would, of course, be the kids Gorr kidnapped in Thor: Love and Thunder and brought to the Gates of Eternity where Thor empowered them to fight the monsters.

Things in common:

-Rock of Eternity full of weird doors… Gates of Eternity…. A natural meeting point between DC and Marvel?

-Kids empowered by gods (in this case Thor-he said ‘temporarily’, but his time sense compared to a humans? Also, with Rock of Eternity/dimensional influence?)… some may be baby gods or demi-gods themselves, depending on how either world defines gods? (Heimdall’s son) Some are just aliens.

- Homeless/parentless kids with divine abilities…

So from there it can go a few ways. I suppose in some nice writer’s headcannon the kids could get home easily and safely and quickly….

Or the door could lock again behind them, probably a safety mechanism to keep the monsters off the rock. And to open the door they need the key, like Gorr and Thor did to get to Eternity. So that would lead to a quest… but what do we do with all these inhuman kids (probably at least a little hurt, most in pajamas at best, some little- and that assumes the older looking ones age at a human scale. We know the Asgardian’s don’t)

So do they wait for Thor to come? Or do they make chaos trying to get home? (Is that a real question?)

I could see the Shazam family trying to take care of the kids at the lair while working on solutions (cue shenanigans)

How do the foster parents react to their kids acting even more strange? Where is all the food going? Why so much laundry?

Eventually they’d get caught out and Billy has to ask for help. Diana for the godly aspect. Superman/Martian Manhunter/GL for the aliens. Batman for the adop… I mean child support. Yes, making sure the kids have what they need.

In the end Thor et allies will come through in some chaotic ridiculous way (goats scream) and meet Diana somewhere in the middle. Everything works out. Or does it?

The one you gravitate towards the first time playing any cRPGs. Included Pillars of Eternity races and Divinity Original Sin ones.

So many saying:

"Oh! Why do all the other romances in the epilogue get kisses while Astarion gets just hugs! Where is our kiss?!?!"

I think you're missing the point...

For non-ascended Astarion, nothing is more fitting or more perfect than that hug. Why?

This is a man that had been abused for over 200 years. A man who was forced to use his body to lure people against his will. A man who tells you that he has used his body sexually and otherwise that just the act of sexual intimacy has been tainted for him.

In Act 2, as he tells you all this, allowing an extremely vulnerable side of himself to be shown to you. Asking for reassurance that he was more than a cheap tool. What does Tav/Durge do?

They hug him. Hold him tightly. And the Vampire has no clue what to do because he, in 200 years, has never been touched like that unless it had sexual implications. For the first time, he is being touched for pure, vulnerable intimacy and love. And in that moment, he accepts the safety of your arms, and holds you. Craving not a touch of lust, but love.

So yes, a hug is far better than a kiss in my regard. At the end of the day, no matter what, he wants to feel that safe feeling of your arms. No expectations, just pure love.

hopefully this doesn’t come off as rude or as a commission request or anything, but I was wondering if it would be possible for you to crudely photoshop a hamburger underneath Astarion where Ataash should be? I loved the WIP versions that everyone came up with and I used one as my wallpaper for ages and I absolutely love the finished version of the art but I also like the comedic aspect of it being a burger instead idk. If not it’s totally okay and I’ll shut up. Either way thank you and I love your art so much 💖

gale's astral sea scene / act 2 romance scene bug fix (low-res body textures)

if you've been playing gale's act 2 romance scene and picked the astral sea version of the scene, you've likely encountered the low-res body texture bug that affects both gale and the protag.

the bug has been around for more than half a year now. it causes the body textures to be extremely low-res, while the face and hair textures are hi-res, resulting in an experience that takes you out of what is otherwise a wonderful scene:

here's how you fix it

get the following three mods from nexus and install them via vortex or bg3mm:

trips' old shader compendium

player and npc - old shaders (both part 1 and part 2 either as a pak file or loose file)

companions - old shaders (both part 1 and part 2 either as a pak or loose files)

be sure to elevate and deploy the mods before running the game if you are using vortex!

if you did it right, the astral sea scene should again look like it used to many months ago:
