I can't anymore. I wanted to wait until my pc is back from the repairs.. but I can't wait anymore. I have to share this amazing piece of art. Look at it, it is fantastic. My dream came true. A commission by @swordmaid is the best gift ever. I still can't believe it.

LOOK AT IT. THE LIGHT AND COLOURING... AND THE EMOTIONS.

My ocs grawan and his betrothed Aleyna Dayne have looks that say "I'm madly in love" And the leaves and the tree.. I'm also in love. With the art and swordmaids skills. AMAZING. I CAN'T ANYMORE...

SO worth the wait, it's perfect. To have my ocs in her style. I wanted that for a long time. Thank youu again.

Thank youu 💕

shri'iia - @swordmaid !!

[ziphius]

@swordmaidOo love this, thanks for sharing so much! If a paladin isn’t delusional about their god in at least one way, what’s even the point? I love her thinking that killing Minthara will go over so well only to have that be the final straw. And for listening to gale 💀

Have you thought about doing a play though where you recruit Minthara as Shri’iia? Idk where her’s story ends because I haven’t finished a run with her, but it seems like she’s focused on revenge after her abandonment. Could be an interesting path….

I’m definitely obsessed with my oathbreaker paladin durge, Hap. He an oath of devotion paladin who upon waking immediately pledges himself to try to rid himself of his urges and to gain a clear set of rules he can follow to “be good”. 

But that bloodlust do be strong… After killing the harpies early on to save Mirkon, he’s like COOL I get to kill and be good! So that carries him though the grove and into act 2, where he starts to get more sloppy with who he can kill “for the greater good”. 

So he’s made his way into moonstone and basically just starts killing anyone he can get away with. But I guess sneaking up and killing them in cold blood is still technically “bad” for a paladin of devotion… whoops. 

At this point Hap doesn’t feel like he can stand on his own without this set of rules so he desperately prays to get his oath back, and doesn’t even want to talk to the dude he’s like get out of here I need to study up so this never happens again. Then he gets unhealthily obsessed with his oath, yay!

His arc in act thee has to do with him coming to trust himself and realizing that he's able to control himself more and more as he resists his durges, so when he breaks his oath again he’s ready to release it and live on his own. 

Anyway, you didn’t ask about my boy but I took that opportunity to write it out… No worries if you didn't read all that, lol. I’m writing up a fic about the harpy fight and how it affects Hap and having a great time with my first creative writing in so long! Love this game and love reading about your characters :) 

What did Shri'iia do that finally broke her oath? I love hearing about your bg3 character arcs, and my fav play through I was an oathbreaker durge- so I'm interested in hearing more!

so for some background context for Shri’iia - she was a paladin of Lolth who was in service to the matriarch of House Faen Tlabbar for like 100+ years or so. She’s kind of like the matriarch’s hidden weapon, no one knew about her existence except for the matriarch (bc before she was a paladin, she was just another commoner who didn’t belong to any noble house) and she was kept in the dark until her matriarch had some use for her. Like Menzoberranzan is a city that thrives in deceit and secrecy and the best weapon someone could have is a weapon that’s unknown to everyone else but completely loyal to you. Shri’iia agreed to this arrangement since didn’t belong to any noble houses prior - and she’s ambitious as hell lmfao she wanted to be at the top of their hierarchy. To her, she had everything to gain and nothing to lose - not to mention that the matriarchs were the closest beings to Lolth and through them, her will is re-enacted so how could she refuse? so she is like a well trained hound in a way, who’s completely loyal to the spider queen and her matriarch and she does not know anything else but to serve her spider queen bc Lolth is everything….!!!!

that is, until she gets kidnapped, tadpoled, and left in the surface

and the thing is, in all her years she has never once stepped foot in the surface. she hasn’t even explored the entirety of menzoberranzan bc she spent most of her days hidden away. not to mention everything she knows about the surface is from gossip and the horrible shit they tell you about how drows are hated there, and how you’ll be hunted like an animal the moment they see your red eyes, and all that terrible shit. so suffice to say shri’iia is terrified! she hasn’t even seen the sun ever before and she hasn’t touched grass either so now you’re expecting her to be fine when she’s left in a place that could kill her bc she’s a drow? not to mention the tadpole in her head? like early act 1 is just a stressful time for her and the fact that she joins up with these other tadpoled folks who could kill her anytime doesn’t make it less stressful

anyway, bc she’s so paranoid and rn she’s like a professional liar in her nature 🫶 (she’s a charlatan) she makes up this story about how she was born in the surface in some small town that has a population of less than 100, and she obviously does not worship Lolth ew and her oath? she follows a noble cause don’t worry about it (:. so she sticks by that back story to earn the other’s trust! and to save her own skin, more or less but by doing so she’s essentially hiding and being ashamed of her Lolth worship and oh that’s not -

in the ACTUAL game, shri’iia breaks her oath because she tells minthara where the grove is. in her head, what better way to punish a traitor of Lolth than to kill her where everyone is watching! 🤭🤭 like punishments for traitors has to public and humiliating like that is such a good plan (in her head!) except that she didn’t take into account that Lolth was getting tired of her ass for hiding her Lolth worship NOT to mention that she’s not acting like how a paladin of lolth should be acting like why are you listening to some man first of all (since I hc gale is the leader of the party). and by killing minthara in front of the grove she offhandedly saves the tieflings which is another 🫤🫤🫤 as a paladin of Lolth like she‘s gonna have such a bad grade in being an evil aligned paladin

So tl;dr - Shri’iia ends up lying about her entire backstory out of self preservation meaning that she has to lie about her Lolth worship. Lolth is a fickle and proud goddess who doesn’t stand by that shit and drops her ass, now Shri’iia spends the remaining half of act 1 in denial trying to win back Lolth’s favour or else she has to deal with the fact that her identity is essentially gone and she’s been abandoned by the goddess she has fully devoted herself to 🫶🫶

I fell into the rabbit hole of amigurumis. After showing my first attemps to some friends who happen to be in the JB fandom, one told me I have to make our two favourite blonds and sent me a tutorial. However, they were show based, but I wanted their book version, in specific this one by lovely @swordmaid

So I mixed a few tutorials. Brienne's dress is from a Merida, her hair from a Coraline, though longer. Jaime's hair is from the Merida's tutorial, though shorter, and the boots from a Zuko's. And so on. I hope you like it 🤓

[acjrven]

i have been so deep in brain rotting over jaime and brienne i can’t stop thinking what they would be up to in the riverlands for the last 13 years now 😔 (lady stoneheart be kind plz especially to my dearest brienne n podrick)

(i am terrified of winds of winter because i swear to god it GRRM kills one of them off before they can even romantically confess or kisses i am going to scream and start a riot)

credit to @swordmaid for the beautiful artwork omg

[theotherpacman]

"Beauty, they called her... mocking. The hair beneath the visor was a squirrel's nest of dirty straw, and her face... Brienne's eyes were large and very blue, a young girl's eyes, trusting and guileless, but the rest... her features were broad and coarse, her teeth prominent and crooked, her mouth too wide, her lips so plump they seemed swollen. A thousand freckles speckled her cheeks and brow, and her nose had been broken more than once. Pity filled Catelyn's heart. Is there any creature on earth as unfortunate as an ugly woman?

And yet, when Renly cut away her torn cloak and fastened a rainbow in its place, Brienne of Tarth did not look unfortunate. Her smile lit up her face, and her voice was strong and proud as she said, 'My life for yours, Your Grace. From this day on, I am your shield, I swear it by the old gods and the new.'"

-- A Clash of Kings, George R. R. Martin

Brienne the Blue of King Renly Baratheon's Rainbow Guard, daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth, the Evenstar

I finally drew my girl Brienne!!!! in the book her armor is all scratched up and shit but I wanted to draw some nice beautiful armor for my girl. hopefully I succeeded in that. character design is heavily informed by that of @swordmaid who does my favorite Brienne <3 (if ur reading this I also love ur Jaime)

[midnight1404]
