All I Want for Solstice

Chapter one of my holiday smutfic! Posted on AO3 because I'm not sure how much tumblr allows and this one's explicit.

Eleanor is trying to spread holiday cheer. Astarion is trying to spread Eleanor's legs. Loosely tied to Feeding Alligators, but not totally canon to it, since I haven't finished the game.

Rated E for explicit sexual content, semi-public sex, fingering, orgasm denial, blow jobs, Astarion being a shit, Eleanor also being a shit.

He’s been teasing you all night. It starts innocently enough (as he’s wont to do, these days). A kiss to your cheek that lingers a moment longer than usual. You’d been judging yourself in front of the mirror, frowning at your outfit. Baldur’s Gate did not, it turns out, get snow often. But now and then it did very much Snow. The morning had seen that storm roll in. It cleared out by sundown, and you and Astarion woke to crystalline white outside your windows, glowing gold in the city’s lamplight. You’d been planning tonight for three days, and you did not intend to back out due to the weather.

You don’t seen him, of course. Didn’t even know the man was in the room until his cool hands drape over your front.

“You look delectable,” he says right into your ear, his breath curling against your neck.

Read the rest on AO3.

Is it douche-y to plug your own fic on something like this? I legitimately don’t know (and will delete this if I’m stepping on toes). But uh, I’m halfway through one of these myself?

This isn’t a story request, just wanted to get a different person’s opinion on this brainworm—what would happen if Tav was abducted from Earth? I mean the Nautiloid was teleporting everywhere when fleeing from the dragons, so Tav could be unlucky enough to be the only modern Earthling they abduct.

Tav would have no magical powers. Maybe they can play an instrument and pretend to be a bard, retelling the Lord of the Rings as a true story to fool people? Maybe they harness the power of science like a mad scientist? How the heck would Astarion react to her ways of thinking?

Oh friend! Do I have a neat one for you to check out! I have a friend who's currently working on something along these same line with a slightly different premise. It also takes place post-game events. Shoutout to Bella!!

So, she's coming at it from the perspective of an "our world" person who knows BG3 exists and has played it and then gets transported into the world. Anyway! Your question.

This type of thing is so fun. This is why I love fic writing. Any weird little idea in your brain? MAKE IT A FIC. I love it.

You're suggesting something like while planejumping, the Nautilus grabbed someone from our universe. Which, in the multiverse theory of D&D, could theoretically happen! It's a fish-out-of-water plot with fun possibilities.

I suppose the first question to ask is how you're characterizing this new OC. What are their existing skills and interests? Even without magic, they could be a martial fighter, a bard, even a wizard. Artificer if they're good at tinkering. Maybe being shunted into a magical universe awakens magic within them and they're a surprise sorcerer and then you can play with person who's never had magic suddenly having magic and being WTF about it.

That's ultimately what's going to decide the story -- how the fish-out-of-water reacts. Everyone else is FROM this world, they get it, and it'd be very easy to be like "well that person has clearly had a mental break, on we go." Do they all speak the same language? I assume the Earthling will understand Common.

Lots of potential for headbutting. What is the Earthling offering in order to tag along? What turns of phrase are different? Do they have a functional electronic device on them?

How would YOU react if you were dropped into the world? What conflicts would come up for YOU?

As for how Astarion would respond, well, he's a chaos gremlin looking for any means of protective power he can find, at least in early game. He's already freaked out, so what's one more thing? Does this character offer some kind of protection or tactical alliance? He's probably on board. Are they weird and unusual [in context]? He's probably like lol nice.

"You're a bit of an... odd one, aren't you? I can work with that."

new suicide squad anime got me thinking about the genderbend batman au i made when i was 16 again.

extra (nsfw??? body horror + shirtless doodle lol) art under the cut + drabble.

A mysterious actress appears in Gotham!

Production for the long-anticipated remake of the 1930s classic horror film, "The Clay", is saved in part thanks to the audition of one woman with no credits to her name, just a face and demeanor identical of the late leading actress of the original film.

However, the cast and crew have bigger worries than their limited budget and endless demands from their producers -- everyone involved seems to be disappearing one by one!

While the average gothammite worries that the cult classic's "cursed" reputation might be a little more than an urban legend, The Batman refuses to entertain such unfounded silliness and aims to get to the bottom of this crime against cinema!

presenting BATMAN '63 - THE RISE OF CLAYFACE coming not actually ever lmao

(her hair is brown now because I like the idea of her appearance never being fully consistent lol. shapeshifters gotta do their thing)

[wife-beam]

anytime i watch an isekai where the protag becomes quickly or easily overpowered i cheer loudly for best boy shen qingqiu and how he got nerfed every single time he leveled up

[prettyboykatsuki]

What are ur other fave shoujos!! (say I love you is super cute! I’m curious what others you liked as well :3)

that's hard....for the classic shoujous i'd say namaikizakari, maid-sama, and last game are some of my favorites. yona of the dawn too but that's like a no brainer.

and then i think my all time favorites are mizutama honey boy, honey lemon soda, and tomo-chan wa onnanoko

for a shorter series one of my favorite less romance centered shoujos is tomodachi no hanashi. highly reccomend.

among all of these i think mizutama honey boy is another all time favorite, same for honey lemon soda. im missing some though but these r the ones that left a long impression on me

^^ these are all specifically shoujo mangas so no webtoon toon or manhwa here

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Looney Tunes

[flavia8]

God don't you hate it when you're reading a romance and they introduce a fun, interesting character that has a good connection with the MC And then they introduce the love interest?

[ladyloveandjustice]

There is a sad undercurrent of suicidal ideation baked into some isekai narratives- the idea that this world is so horrible that your only hope is to die of overwork or get hit by a truck and get reborn into a world where you're actually important and things are nice, into the very fiction you used to escape how awful your life is. There's something worth examining in the idea that we can only fantasize about dying and finding a better life because changing this world feels too hard. It's not all that different than telling the poor it's okay they're suffering in this life because they'll get their 'heavenly reward', to use a dramatic historical and modern comparison.

So this reveal that Huisu actually straight up did kill herself, that the reason this romance novel was so meaningful to her was because her life was meaningless, that her suicidal ideation has been persisting all this time, is a really meaningful and needed extension of these themes. Every time her world wasn't the one she hoped for, Huisu killed herself and tried for a redo, because it worked the first time. She didn't stick around to try to change it. It was immediately hopeless and she had to throw everything away for hopes of getting closer to her fantasy ideal. That's not so different from the dogma that lies unexplored as a basis for most 'my previous life sucked' isekai.

Can she actually choose life and accept it for all it's flaws this time? The 'surviving' part in the title 'surviving romance' is now important, because it's not just about our main character struggling to survive against zombies...it's about her struggling against herself to even WANT to survive.

Game companies will really make the cutest female player character designs and then default to the soggy waffle male PC design for every single promo of the game.

on september 26th i’m going to start posting an old story i found in my hard drive. i’ll drop one chapter a week. it’s an old sorazon cora lives AU that is extremely fluffy and makes no goddamn sense but i reread it the other day and i thought. this is just stupid enough to post. so. i’m going to do that. don’t let me forget.

it’s 11 chapters long!! and incomplete. which is the main reason i didn’t post it. i don’t like posting incomplete works. but i think some joy can be scraped from this story even tho it isn’t “finished”.

also i miss uploading multichaptered stories… so this is my compromise.

also. yes. bell-mere is in it. hehe

[animebw]

So who decided it was finally time for classic fantasy anime to come back into fashion and how soon can I marry them

Also Tent Scene from WSWB, commissioned by @allymcfee and created by @crunchyncrumbly

NSFW?

Astarion and Eleanor by @mutualcombat (with more detailed pic of the softness)

Snippets:

Tiddy Cuddles - actually SFW. Batstarion never walks anywhere ever again when he can get uppies.

One Shots (All of them are rated E smutfics):

Stuffing - an entry for Wanksgiving 2023, sexually explicit. Ties into Feeding Alligators.

All I Want for Solstice - happy holidays 2023, have some fluffy smut! Eleanor tries to spread holiday cheer. Astarion tries to spread Eleanor's legs. Rated very much E for explicit sexual content. Technically a two-shot, but whatev.

Valentine’s Day Special - Roses are red, violets are blue, blah blah I’d like to fuck you. Or: Astarion bought a toy. Eleanor wants to give him a night he won’t forget. ASTARION GETS PEGGED.

You Could Just Ask - Astarion is terrible about communicating what he wants. But Eleanor is getting good at translating gremlin. ASTARION GETS PEGGED AGAIN. The man is a MENACE.

Something Full-Bodied and Red - Aunt Flo comes to visit Eleanor. Astarion is thrilled to make her acquaintance.

Tightrope and Lace - Astarion has a proposition: you’d look lovely in rope. And you shouldn’t be the only one who gets to dress for the occasion.

A Misuse of Potions - Pt. 1: Astarion has a plan. A nice, simple plan. His love has been gone for almost a tenday, but now she's back, and he needs her to obliterate him in the best way possible.

Long fics:

Feeding Alligators:

Turns out, it’s not heart disease that gets you. Not a car crash, the second coming, or even a plain old slip in the shower that removes you from this mortal coil. It’s motherfucking aliens. Your Uncle Randy would be so proud. Or: two losers cheat, stab, and flirt their way to a win.

Rated M for language, violence, and (very) eventual sexual content. Astarion/Named Tav with a backstory.

Completed.

What Shall We Become:

After tripping a mad wizard’s trap, Astarion—now blinded—must navigate the Underdark with Eleanor back to their crew. These two shitheads must cheat, stab, and flirt their way through flooded caves, monsters, and something hunting them in the dark. All while very confusing feelings begin to muddle up Astarion’s Very Simple plan.

fmvwednesdays back in the new year

this year i'm going to play all the fmv games. that's right. all of them. starting with this one:

it's Harvester. i couldn't put any pictures from the actual game because its SUPER FUCKED UP OR WHATEVER. there's a lot of gore and probably some other morally objectionable things. it's goofy. come watch in a few hours

[spacevixenmusic]

One of the most interesting shows I watched for the very first time this year was Captain N: The Game Master!

In a world before isekai was the dominant anime genre, people were already making plenty of movies and TV shows about people being transported into game worlds, but Captain N was more than just that. Back in 1989, video games had just broken free of arcades and were exploding in popularity onto home consoles. And just like everything else in the 80s, the most effective way to boost toy and game sales was to make a Saturday morning cartoon. The kicker? Back in 1989, most video game franchises were just getting started, and for the most part, nobody was quite sure how best to turn these familiar little pixel sprites into cute and marketable characters for an all-ages audience.

So in these early wild west days of video games, producers had to guess which characters might take off in popularity and shove them into character roles so the writers would have something to work with. This resulted in one of the weirdest video game cartoons ever made, stuffed to bursting with wild crossovers and bizarre interpretations of such now-iconic characters like Mega Man, Simon Belmont, Pit (who we only knew back then as “Kid Icarus”), Mother Brain, and MANY more.

And of course, you needed an ordinary everyday white kid to act as the main character, so we have our protagonist in Captain N*. Kevin is a kid who plays a ton of video games and one day just out of the blue gets sucked into his TV and ends up in “Videoland”, which is just one massive amalgamation of video game worlds from the NES library, connected haphazardly by randomly located Warp Zones (curiously similar to the running gag in Mighty Max where the portals are located in bizarre locations and it takes a few hops to get from place to place). There’s a half-baked story in the background about him trying to get back home, but he’s having too much fun living the games and showing off all the secrets and strategies he knows and ends up sticking around.

Anyway, I'm putting a whole buttload of thoughts and gifs I’ve made into my queue, so you can expect to see a whole lot more about this show coming up later!

(*a character from Nintendo Power magazine whose creator apparently went uncredited and uncompensated for years, but that’s another story!)

I have art block :'3

So for now I will dump sum things from my sketchbook... Like au dumps in the form of traditional drawing.

Keep in mind that I did these at school, with only a multicolored pen, a crayon and highlighter :'3

This is the newest one in the sketchbook :'3

I caved in and did a genshin au but it's more Ace and Childe being brothers, as such Ace is your friendly Geo bow character that we meet during Fontaine :'3

He was initially meant to have a spear

I included 2 abouts, bc I feel like Ace could drop u either sum funny things or concerning lil snippets. :v

Also bc he is still from twisted wonderland, I felt it fit to make him a new type of vision frame. :D

Sum jjk cover ideas, from the double Isekai au. I really like how Floyd's turned out, mainly because of the goldfish. :'3

For Ortho/Orpheus I used a fountain pen for some bits and honestly, that shit colors so well, like how??? Irl it looks so nice. I had a field trip trying to get a brown for the coffin head, still I really like how simple is and the subtle references.

I really wanted to reference Kento's manga cover, so in all 3 there is 1 thing that is in common and I am curious to see if y'all can guess what it is. :3

The fight club au! :D

Tbh I have so many thoughts for it, despite these 2 not actually being the main focus (Epel is)

It's an Au that is inspired by the fighting club genre (street fighter, MK, etc.) tbh I really wanted to try some different types of poses and I thought that it was a nice exercise.

I actually messed up Riddle's jacket... Initially it was meant to be orange, but I changed my mind halfway so here we are. It was supposed to be a dark blue... :'3

My pen gave up halfway in here x3

Yes, it's the king of Blots Au, which was pretty fun to think about it. Especially since in here, Idia grows to be more independent in terms of doing certain chores he initially used machines for(Ramshackle Dormhead U-U). A cute headcannon in here is that Ortho usually naps when he takes his meds so Idia is more or so used to be deemed a pillow. :3

Rollo and Azul friendship✨

Sum Raincode shit :'3

There's a fricking stain on the page and IDK how it got there T-T

They have such fun story in this Au and Rollo being set on 'exorcising' Malleus and Idia is just a highlight, because for many who have no idea, Rollo seems like he's squaring with a bird and a lizard. :'3

Also big spoilers for Raincode au :v

This is the oldest drawing in this post tbh :v

Maybe I should dump more traditional drawings tbh... They are fun :3

Korean comic artists... I beg of you...

If you don't know how to write a darker skinned character, nor do you know the history of the European Slave Trade,

Then please. For the love of God.
