deeply believe that caleb, jester and beau have a book club where they gather once a month in the salon in the tower, dress up nice, pour some fine wine by the fire, and take it in turns to read each other the worst erotica they could find that month and then vote on whose was worst

If there's any character in this world who suffers from literary Ken-ification it's Patroclus. Especially in the zeitgeist of today (thanks tsoa), it's always Achilles AND Patroclus, never just Patroclus. Who is he? Why does he exist? He is Achilles' boyfriend! What's his job? Death! In the sense that he just. Dies. That's just his job now. Death. Death and Achilles' boyfriend. That's it.

#this is my most passionately held Iliad opinion #Patroclus is the BEST OF THE MYRMIDONS #he has the highest kill count aside from Achilles!#while I do love that he is tied to Achilles forever #I wish he was recognized as a power to be reckoned with in his own right #ffs his epithet is ‘a mortal like a god’#Iliad #mythologically adjacent

I was surprised and delighted to see so much interest in the notes on the last post I did about my silly little AU where everything is perfect and Orym gets so many boyfriends

For those curious about the 'plot' of this AU:

Orym and Will have been married for 15 years; they got married at 21 and moved out of Zephrah to Emon for a bit before moving to Jrusar, where everybody's at nowadays

Orym and Will meet Ash when Fearne invites Ash to Jrusar's local kink club (bc this is FULLY self-indulgent). And of COURSE Ashton is into letting this extremely hot little man tie them up while his husband watches. Orym & Will are poly but have never had another romantic partner before, and they spend a couple months just fooling around with Ash before asking to Actually Date.

Dorian is an old friend of Orym's from when they were living in Emon. He got to know Orym while he was in college, but after graduation, he moved back to his family in the Silken Squall. Much like in canon, he didn't wanna stay there, and he ends up moving to Jrusar as well. He stays in Will and Orym's house for a few weeks while he's getting settled, and meets Ashton at that point (and spends a while trying to ignore that he's slightly jealous that Orym and Will got a boyfriend and it's not him.)

Eventually Dorian moved in w/ Fearne and gets a job at a coffeeshop that's owned by Opal & Ted's dad (Dariax also works there, and eventually Fyr'a and Morri do too probably idk). It's close to where Ashton works, so they get to know each other completely outside of the Orym/Will situation that's going on

Dorian starts dating Ash way before the other two, but after some amount of months I did not determine, they do all end up together. This is mostly orchestrated by Will, who has known about Orym's crush on Dorian for years now (and has been teasing him about it forever) and Ashton, who saw that shit a mile away.

Cyrus also shows up to be his dumbass self

Orym's mom visits one (1) time and decides she is adopting Ashton

when you're 'just a little guy'-sized, you can be a clothes thief with every single person you date. they can't even do it back. it's the perfect crime.

(sometimes i like to relax while thinking about a modern au where Will is alive and Orym has a husband AND two boyfriends.)

#my art #critical role #orym of the air ashari #dorym #ashrym #willorym #the polycule in this au gets complicated #not because of the boys #it's mostly fearne who is attached to this by way of ashton #also guess which shirt he stole from who #i made it pretty easy but still

I’ve been catching up on Candela Obscura and like. Did Liam hear “GM this season” and go “got it. Speedrun romance Taliesin’s character as many times as I can in a miniseries.”

#I mean I fucking love it. get it Leo.#candela obscura #their rpg flirting game remains insane #I only hope someday I can be just as good at romancing my friends’ ttrpg characters

Thousand year old granny rips Astarion a new one when the party's adventuring haste accidentally smashed one of her plants. (It was Karlach that broke it, but Astarion by nature of his pointy ears gets dragged away by said pointy ears by a bony old hand)

(Many thanks to @fridaypls for making this vision a reality with their elvish font, which you can find on this post)

What the fuck is it about Caduceus Clay CriticalRole. Just looking at a short silly comic with him makes me feel warm and fizzy and calm. If I turn on his Mighty Vibes playlist I'll start crying. A pot of tea, a hug and three hours of listening to him talk would fix everything that's wrong with me, I'm sure of it. What the fuck did Taliesin PUT into this guy? Infinite serotonin? Distilled therapy? Chamomile? What the fuck.

#I am making a caduceus jacket for the seratonin yes #it’s because his vibes are ‘my last player character just died oh god I need comfort’#critical role

I'll leave my love Between the stars

Rambling and detail shot below.

Labyrinth AU!! I've been working on this for months and I'm so happy to have finally finished it. The colors gave me some trouble as I tried to match the original scene before going off and doing my own thing. Wanted it to feel light but with a looming air of danger.

I have a lot of sketches for this AU that hopefully I can polish up and share soon.

Wish I had more to say lol, but honestly I'm just happy. I haven't felt this happy about my art in years. Thank you for reading and enjoying!

#I don’t go here but this is very spooky and pretty!!#I love that it’s so bright while still being a little bit haunting

One day, Essek learns how to make cheesecake, and it blows his fucking mind.

I really like the idea of Essek learning to make a bunch of desserts because he’s gotta have something to feed Jester when she comes over! And a lot of baking is very scientific and precise so I bet it would suit his wizardly sensibilities. And maybe caduceus could help teach him bc that would be very cute

I’m sure Caleb is very happy to taste test too 💕

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

#so many friend ocs I feel this way about #sometimes you get lucky and they write a very long fic about them #sometimes you get REALLY lucky and another friend likes them too so you can scream together

I want to believe that when Fearne is not around, Orym will automatically seek the next biggest spoon- sorry, person. I don’t think Ashton minds much either

And yes you’re right, Orym is sleeping with the sending stone in hand and carrying it around
