Dorian’s dad is hot so I had to draw him

“Brontë, this is a monumental undertaking, a risk beyond words. There is no shame in returning home to us, leaving this to those capable-- No, no! -- and willing. The Silken Squall could use a returning son. Our heir to the Squall's golden seat. No. I will not abandon this task. I love you, I love our home. But I can do this. I can do this.”-Zeru/Dorian

[Image Description: A digital drawing of Dorian Storm from Critical Role. He is looking down to the left with is blushing while he confesses to Orym (not in frame) 'it was always you.' Dorian is in an amber colored robe provided by the tower and his hair is down. It flows straight down over and behind his shoulders and is very silky. He also wears golden earrings. the background is the same amber golden color as the rob and earrings and there's little star bursts across the back. Dorian is haloed in light while he shyly talks to Orym.

The second image is a sketch of Dorian sitting on a thrown in a white sleeveless turtleneck and flowing sheer fabric around him. he also wears a lot of gold jewelry while looking at the viewer with an intense expression. The last image is of Zeru Wyvernwind. it is bust up and he looks a lot like Dorian, just with wrinkles gray hair and a beard. he wears grekoroman inspired clothes that are white yellow and gold. He also calls out for his son, 'Bronte' End ID]

orym following dorian’s father “because of how integral the relationships between fathers and sons are to orym and his history and how much he loves dorian,” (bonus: live robbie daymond reaction 👀)

[undead-knick-knack]

Dorian might wanna lock up his father 😏

[genderlesssinner]

Orym and Zeru

Oh boy

Liam just openly saying "how much Orym loves Dorian" I'm crying (Robbie's reaction!!!!!)

"You should be very proud (of your sons). I hope you are."

"I would tell you I would look out for him, but seeing as he just saved my life a day ago, it's probably more fitting to let you know that he'll be looking out for me.

This is also important!!!! Orym beginning to accept that he doesn't have to - and can't - protect all of his friends. And that they - specifically Dorian tho! - can look out for him too.

Oh my sweet little man. He needs one of those Dad Hugs, Zeru.

"Dang, the apple didn't fall far from the tree" LIAM I'm gonna cry just kiss your bard already jsbzhshcufjdjcbjvh

Alma’s “But he’s a very good boy and he’s made his mother very proud and many of us very proud… Just don’t be a hero if you don’t need to be. I want to see you come back home safe”

vs

Zeru’s “If you must make this journey, remain ever vigilant. Step no further than safety would allow. Heroism is a game for those without standing legacy. Lean on those you can trust.”

[eternalmomentss]

This campaign cannot end before I have seen Miss Momma Wyvernwind. Just a crumb, please. Mainly because I want the full family picture but also Dorian just seems like a momma's boy to me.

It's just the image of baby Dorian listening to her song that is such an important part of his character and her calling him Bron, him asking for her when meeting Zeru and missing her presence and kind of latching onto Keyleth as a result.

Show me the Squall while we're at it, pretty please. I WILL ask again...

[cassafrasscr]

So... Are we all gonna just gloss over the fact that Dorian didn't tell his dad that he was with Cyrus when he died?

We just gonna ignore that?

[mareastrorum]

Do you think Dorian’s dad noticed that Dorian and Orym were wearing matching sending stones?

[olessan]

[tiredqueermushroom]

Dorian Storm, who but a night ago resigned himself to setting aside his grief for the greater good. Reverting back to a child in embrace of his father and allow himself to grief, to cry, to pour out all that he held inside if only for a moment.

God, Zeru Wyvernwind was having a time at that meeting. Recently received word that one of his two missing sons had passed and also the world is ending so could he maybe please get to Vasselheim and help stop it from doing that. So he goes, and there's a collection of powerful people proposing that their battle plans involve sending multiple strikes teams to attack various key targets. After nominating two groups to handle two aspects of the plan, the third is pulled forward... and among them is his other son. Whom he hasn't seen in at least a few years because he left the Silken Squall first, whom he assumes isn't aware what happened to his brother (Zeru doesn't know that Dorian only started wearing gold after Cyrus died, and since he's going by a different name it would be easy to assume he's not adhering to traditional personal stylings), whom is willingly going to the front lines of a world shaking war.

It's no wonder he asked Dorian to leave the mission and come home; he's lost one son and is staring down the barrel of losing the other. After Dorian makes it very clear he's going see this through, Zeru demonstrates that he does trust him, despite Dorian's doubts, enough to let him go despite his own feelings. He asks him to be safe and gives him arms that will hopefully help, because that's the best he can do at this point. And he has to hope that it will be enough.

[annemarieyeretzian]

orym telling zeru “I wanted to offer my condolences on the loss of your son. I spent time with both of them, and the heart and the valor that both of your sons have displayed in recent times, it’s important to me, and I think probably important to you to know that, and you should be very proud. I hope you are.” and “I know where we're going is probably a little daunting for any parent, but – I would tell you that I would look out for him, but seeing as he just saved my life a day ago, it’s probably more fitting to let you know that he'll be looking out for me.” 💚

[screechingfromthevoid]

I kept muttering "the gold. The GOLD" when Dorian was speaking to his father. I'm actually kind of really upset that he didn't say anything about it? Because I'm sure Zeru never thought he'd be in this predicament. He named his second son, Secondsun after all. He never thought the spare would be adorned in gold.

It would have been really cool (angsty) if he didn't know about Cyrus. (I know it's improbable because of why he was at the meeting in the first place but still) And the first time he sees either of his sons again would be like this. Where it seemed that Dorian had done away with a tradition from his home. He hadn't heard anything about his Secondsun in the better part of a year and now he dares to show up to the world stage in gold?! Like his home customs mean nothing?! What has this pilgrimage done to him?!

Then Dorian would have to tell his father. In the center of everything, where the whole of exandria is on the line, that yes his name might always be Secondsun, but now he was the only son. Now he was the heir whether either of them liked it or not.

And if none of that happened it still would have been nice when Zeru said something about how they wanted to make sure Dorian knew, he'd pause. He'd take in his Secondsun covered in gold (with a new nose piercing) and hesitate for a moment. Did the spare simply forget his place? Or did he know? Does he know? He didn't seem shocked. He cried into his shoulder.

IDK I JUST THINK. Robbie made a big deal about Dorian wearing gold and I think Matt should have too
