i dont talk about them much (anymore lmao) but this picture is honestly my ocs alice and james

[reborrowing]

wait I don’t think I said it on this blog, Hollow and Val both have names pulled off the calendar (per family tradition), just, borrower literacy rates are atrocious…

and since hollow can mean “a covered place to hide, shelter” it seemed like a better name to give a kid than a nonsense word

so he did actually kind of expect pointing at a pumpkin to work. like that’s an october symbol. it even gets carved and hollowed out. duh.

I'm gonna talk about Empurress' in world titles. This might be kind of a shock, but Empurress isn't called that in-world. That's more like, her streamer name, her signature in friendly letters/texts. She has a lot of titles, but the main one is Empress Rissa Prism. Her Iridescence, Empress Rissa Prism, if you want to be really fancy and make her face all red.

Her other titles include, Light Goddess, Empress of the Sky, Holy Mother. HOWEVER!!! Holy Mother is ACTUALLY... Eden'a's title!! When Empurress ascends and actually BECOMES Empurress... she actually crafts the whooole empire entirely with magic. And it's NOT an overnight process, no matter how powerful you are.

So buildings, habitats, bodies of water, farmlands... these things aren't YOINKED from the surface world and pushed elsewhere, they are CONJURED from immense magical power and multiple sacrifices. And lots of seed planting. While she IS undoubtedly a feminine icon like Rose Quarts from Steven Universe, or Neo Queen Serenity from Sailor Moon, and literally births/manifests a whole new place of living up in the freaking sky... The title of "Holy Mother" is originally Eden'a's! And Empurress strongly discourages being called that.

While she DOES eventually become a mother, and her dual elements include holy, she largely feels undeserving of the title "Holy Mother".

Who would win in a fight between Dejan, Dejan and Dejan?

In a fight between Dejan, Dejan and Dejan... It's actually kinda mixed?

If Original Dejan wanted to win, he absolutely would because of his existence as an inter-dimensional space fairy means he can easily manipulate the fabric of the other two Dejans' existence at an infinite level. Which is fancy talk from "he'd make them stop existing and win that way".

However, OG Dejan would rather forfeit or let himself be beaten just to watch World of Warcraft Dejan and Anthro Megatherium Dejan throw down.

Between those two it'd be very evenly matched. While WoW Dejan has a lot of tricks up his sleeves such as being a druid who's capable of turning into a massive white bear or growing a literal suit of steelbark armor and even growing a suit of steelbark armor on his bear form..

Furry Dejan has raw, primal strength, four arms, a massive tail and even bigger claws. He's capable of literally lifting cars and biting through the buffalo femurs they sell as dog chews. And .. he's also a biochemical engineer. If he's got the time, he can absolutely wreck Dejan.

So overall, between Furry Dejan and Druid Dejan it's highly variable and extremely dependent on lots of different things.

Fan-girl Ramblings: My [1st] Custom Tav, Hestra Lumeth

Being so absorbed in BG3 as of late, figured why not write nonsense about my Tav (inspired a bit by a Twitter post about voicing their background) and since I write some 'serious' fan-fic about this woman... why not do a lengthy post explaining her?

*Usual warning of spoilers and a lot of this is made up from my deranged mind.

Hestra's 'natural' name is actually Keryx, born to Archdevil Zelinor, a succubus, and Veestan Lumeth, a high elven nobleman from the 'secret' city of Ny'nahil [in a valley somewhere within the Greypeak Mountains].

The 'story' goes is that Veestan wanted to recapture his glory days as a troubadour and decided he would seduce and bargain with a devil; specifically a native to the Fourth Layer of the Nine Hells, Phlegethos. Whatever bargain was made resulted in Keryx's birth; an Infernal contract cosigned to flesh.

*Though born to a devil, Keryx was born as a Tiefling and not a Cambion (since her mother is the devil, not her father). She does not inherit any Succubus-related abilities though does 'attain' the traits of the Fierna Bloodline, giving her a natural suave charm and inverting a tiefling's natural 'aura' to unsettle others, instead appearing alluring to most who encounter her and remain within her proximity for an extended amount of time. After her 'reforging' in the Pit of Flame, she developed a couple of succubus traits, mainly the ability for her musk and bodily fluids to behave as aphrodisiacs.

As per the bargain, Keryx was taken to Faerun to be left in the care of Veestan until her thirteenth year, but he wanted nothing to do with his bastard devil and so abandoned her in favor of reliving his fame.

For his vanity and blatant disregard for his own child, Yorilnth banished Veestan fron Ny'nahil and stripped him of all his wealth and titles, bequeathing them to Keryx as his sole (and rightful) heir once of age to utilize her inheritance. In the interim, Yorilnth, reluctantly, became mother to an unwanted tiefling child.

Yorilnth is no ordinary high elf, but an Ancient Silver Dragon that has called Ny'nahil her lair for several centuries now. Though there is no monarchy, the residents of Ny'nahil and her clan refer to her as 'queen'. Keryx was raised, mostly, by Yorilnth and Alioth, the clan's egg keeper, and experienced a relatively lovely and 'normal' upbringing. Keryx grew especially close to Razsermerjur, Yorilnth's youngest child, and the two treated each other as siblings.

Upon the hour Keryx turned thirteen, a Bone Devil suddenly arrived in Ny'nahil and dragged her down to Phlegethos, nearly killing Razsamerjur as the dragon, valiantly, tried to protect their sister from her fate.

For the next twenty-ish years, Keryx was raised in the ways of her Infernal heritage. Every day was a test of survival as Baator was not a kind place to mortals, in any capacity.

Zelinor hated Keryx, being the living embodiment of a great embarrassment yet could not cause harm to her due to the contract she, literally, gave birth to. Yet, Keryx developed a very sharp wit and talent for duplicity and seduction despite the disadvantages of her breeding... skills Zelinor took advantage of to the point Keryx found herself serving as a Justiciar of the Diabolical Courts, when not being utilized as a whore.

To ensure the contract wasn't 'accidentally' broken, Zelinor assigned one of her Cornugons to guard Keryx, with the ulterior intention to test Keryx's ability to charm and seduce. This is how Keryx and Esilith became intimately involved with each other. Keryx seduced her guardian and the two became, madly, enamored with each other.

Through the course of their relationship, Keryx picked up the moniker and stage name 'The Infernal Siren'. With Esilith at her side, the pair wracked up quite the body count. Keryx was so 'in love' with the cornugon, she put herself through horrendous physical trials and torment, such as having her body modified to be the 'perfect' lover and even endured several days within the Pit of Flame (which ruined most of her body and burned away parts of her soul). However, their relationship quickly turned violent when, in a fit of jealous rage, Esilith stabbed Keryx through the heart after learning she was to be 'married' to a another devil.

With her heart rent in half, but alive, Keryx had the brilliant idea to have a variant of an Infernal Engine grafted to her heart; an iron music box that would serve as a spell foci for her infernal bardic work, which solely had relied on her singing voice. Over the course of a year, Keryx wrote a song & performance that came to be known as the 'Song of Ruin' but required the use of her 'music-box heart' to complete the ritual; driving entire armies and cities to ecstatic destruction by instigating orgies and various acts of debauchery until all that were subjected to the song perished, either from sheer exhaustion or violent madness.

The Song of Ruin attracted the interest and attention of the Lords of the Fourth; Archduke Belial and Archduchess Fierna. Keryx served them as, primarily, a saboteur on various fronts of the Blood War as well as other layers of Baator.

At some point, Keryx grew homesick for Faerun and tried to escape, unsuccessfully, several times before entering a contract with Archduchess Fierna to return to the Prime Material Plane... as long as she fulfilled her obligations to create cults and worshippers for Fierna so the Lady of the Fourth could increase her power.

Upon returning to Faerun, Keryx immediately returned to Ny'nahil. Yorilnth, Alioth, Razsamerjur... despite her long absence, Keryx was welcomed home and her family sought to heal what they could of the scars, both physical and mental, that the Nine Hells had left upon her. Keryx struggled to adjust to being a Faerunian, however... and Fierna made her pay for her insubordination.

Archduchess Fierna tormented Keryx with nightmares until the tiefling broke and she attempted to corrupt Ny'nahil. The ritual never finished, as she fled when she realized what she had wrought upon her home.

Adopting the name Hestra while on the road (and rarely ever revealing her surname), Hestra wandered the Sword Coast for a number of years (often carrying out her contractual obligations to Fierna) before starting to settle in Baldur's Gate. She becomes a 'silent partner' with Rizare (a Deeva prostitute turned business owner), wrote and sold plays to theatres around the city and occasionally turnrf sects of the Baldurian aristocracy or common folk to the worship of Fierna.

She further hides her identity by wearing a Ring of Disguise Self that makes her appear more 'normal'; Infernal eyes hidden behind green, tattoos and scarring all smooth flesh

Despite having a string of paramours from all walks of life (though she never physically engaged with anyone, resorting to charm spells to gaslight her 'lovers' into believing otherwise), Hestra staunchly refused to intimately commit to another.

Then the Absolute Crisis happened... Which is where my fan-fic writing tends to focus with this character (with a sprinkling of post-game or AU nonsense).

Hestra was leaving Baldur's Gate, via the Black Dragon Gate, intending to take one of her plays on tour when Absolute Cultists nabbed her and imprisoned her on the Emperor's Nautiloid.

The adventure wasn't all bad, despite being infected by illithid.

Made new friends, saved Faerun and fell (very hard) in love with Lae'zel of Creche K'liir.

And the rest, as they say, is history. I drabbled very long about my Tav, hope you enjoyed. Maybe I'll do more... cause I have a few more Tavs and other OCs.

I feel like I'm in the minority as far as being hyped for the new 'Viper' class. My OC Durafein is a rogue/assassin type of character so naturally I started him as a rogue. I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the early class and the rogue's guild - but everything abruptly changes to a 'ninja' aesthetic and it becomes very difficult to move away from that and back into the "rogue" look that I wanted for him. So I ended up putting down the class entirely. I'm so hyped to finally have a class that suits a 'rogue/scoundrel' sort of character!

[cassandthings]

🖊 Go nuts!

These are all going to end up being about Evie because she's the OC on my brain lmao ty Nonnie!

Fun fact: Evie's eyes were both brown until she turned 18 and her magic came in fully. Shortly after getting her Vallaslin, her magic piqued, and she briefly lost control - the result was a small storm of energy that left her with a magic-touched eye and a scar that runs from her chest down her abdomen and ends on her right leg.

This also ended in her being kicked out of her Clan, being taken in by the Crows (thank you Viago), and walling off most of her emotions for 12 years. Fun times!

[prism-empurress]

happy pride month!! I wish I had a gigantic fuckass picture of my OCs and their flags but that doesn't exist yet. here's some fun facts. Lady Greenfyre is MtF and bisexual :3 Artemis is FtM and gay PegaKitty/Empurress is pan Ganthor is demi Merseph is ace, potentially aro??? i'm not sure. her idea of fun is experimenting on the sims she makes. Nyano is also pansexual. Sansuu is bisexual. I don't really have...lesbian OCs...I should fix that. Does Flora count? The currently faceless MC of Empurress/PegaKitty's route in Cozy Cabin? I imagine her to be a butch lesbian. with hair covering her eyes. she's a squirrel.

Why did Donovan kill his dad?

There are many reasons. But this is probably the main one <3 sorry this took so long to respond thank you so much for the ask ^^

[glittergummy]

y'know

with how much Snowplow wanders around at night, granted in a mostly secluded location in the upper artic

it makes you wonder if she ever has been spotted by some poor human and then it starts

the legends of the scary 'automobile snowman'

[h0t-p1nk-ch33tah-pr1nt]

Little backstory for my s/i(Kath aka Black cat sona thing) is like, she was very much claimed to be a "gifted child" (it's just the tism) by her stepmom, her stepmom was the reason she moved to Britain cuz of her dad's infatuation. Living on her own now she mostly does art shows to get money, no love or care are put in her pieces anymore. Only like depression IWGEIW,

only coming home to her cat beatle, radiation testing was going on whilst beatle was out and about, she got home and got bitten, thought she had rabies. Still had to go to an auction the next day, she half jacked her presentation the auctioneer himself kept getting on her ass like

"This art doesn't have any feel to it!"

Kath snapped and clawed his eye out, guards showed up and tried to take her down but she escaped quickly, tldr she kinda had a catwomen moment where people thought she died by the guards, she made her own suit to steal from the man who runs the auction to only give it away for free since art should be seen by everybody and not gatekeep it. She is very split amongst the people, giving to the lower classes, but the high classes hate her guts,

Aughhh she's very emotional, she runs on her heart on her sleeve but she can come off as cocky or sassy in away her old self could never have been, but that means she is stupidly hot headed and snippy. Her theving can be seen as sloppy at best, only wanting to take the big man down.

Greta

So, I'm gonna tell you all about my witch that curses children, Greta. She first showed up in my post The Witch Came Back, in which she had cursed an aroace character to never be seen in a sexual or romantic way.

She's immortal, so she can watch lots of children grow up with the curses she places upon them.

She's not serious, in any sense of the word. She doesn't curse children because of something they've done, she does it to give them an adventure, and her a story to watch unfold.

She doesn't do anything particularly harmful, but to her, curses are just a little game to be played.
