One of these days I'll finally draw them kissing I swear

Continuation of Taking Inventory that got a little out of hand. Aldiirn really does treat any interaction with Lae’zel as life or death, meanwhile Lae’zel is just pleased that one of these istiks shows respect.

the fun thing about playing a bard (or any class that can heal) is imagining him healing himself after astarion feeds, instead of the almost daily walk of shame to shadowheart.

like my tav would've never went to shadowheart for lesser restoration. his complex about asking for help and the embarrassment of it all would stop him before the thought even entered his head.

so he lightheadedly strings together a tune after astarion feeds on him. i think by act three he'd actually have a special song for after-feeding sessions.

personally, astarion thinks playing a song that most of the party can hear after being fed on is more embarrassing than asking shadowheart to heal him in the morning.

(he's not going to tell him that, though.)

I swear to gods, it's like a flu! Still it happened three times this month so...

Occasional sleep-shapeshifting is not a joke, guys.

Controversial but I think not having drow be a bit transphobic was a pussy move. I don't mean it in like a mean way, but for example having Minthara disregard your pronouns at first meeting and having the option to correct her would be so fun.

Minthara: Welcome sister--

Drow Tav: Oh I go by he/him actually if you don't mind.

Minthara: *short circuits so bad the tadpole gets zapped and shoots out of her ear like a projectile*

Happy pride :) i'm still sick ! here's a piece i was working on BEFORE getting sick.

[silver-horse]

unfortunately I have opinions about the ascendant astarion ending and I have been holding back from saying it. but it's a problem that applies to the whole game and it's been annoying me

what's actually weird about the ascendant "romance" scene is that the writer considers it a tempting option for the player. They wrote it to be bad, but they also think it's a fun and sexy option. Same goes for the haarlep scene which they also wrote that way because they find it sexy. Except finding this sexually appealing entirely hinges on the idea that the player is a submissive. So RIP to a scene that the rest of us could have found sexy because the lead narrative designer was a submissive. lmao

In this game you can have a scene where you have to kneel for a male character. But you can never have a male character do the same for you. (Halsin doesn't count. It's a vanilla scene, he is not submissive there and we are not even asking/telling him to kneel down) You don't get such options, not even if you play a drow female! RIP the number one reason for playing drow female to be honest. lol You can kneel and fully submit to ascendant astarion or fully submit to mizora or fully submit to haarlep or submit to lae'zel or submit to minthara. you can get whipped by abdirak or you can tell him "touch me and lose a hand" he even responds positively to this remark and yet the possibility to flip the dynamic doesn't exist. There is never an option where a male character truly submits to the player. RIP to a scene that would have been the opposite of the traditional dynamic. the potential that existed but they never used the opportunity

By the way, how interesting that Lae'zel is dominant but she is a woman so ofc you get the option to tell her “no you will submit to me”. You never get such switch options with any of the male characters... Obviously it's not ascendant where they could have made that an option. My point is that it's NEVER an option among so many male characters.

It's a cool idea that the bad ending in a romance means "I saw this character as a sex object" except it falls apart when the scene is very sexually unappealing to anyone who is more dominant leaning. If I see a character as a sex object then I would place them in sexual situations which are appealing to me. so the message doesn't quite work. because there isn't anything that I can selfishly choose for myself just because I like it and I find it sexy.
