[...] all Gale can think about when he sees it is how he’d stood in this exact spot after he’d been cursed with the orb. How he’d stared, equal parts dumbstruck and mortified, at the freshly placed burn on his chest. The bruise in the center hadn’t yet had time to form, then. It raised and blistered aggressively over the following days, adding another layer to the pain and confusion that already addled his heart and mind. To see it after it’d healed, the perfectly formed lines of it — it almost felt like a brand. An artistic rendition of his folly, embedded into his skin forever.  As he stares at it now, he realizes that feeling has never gone away.

i have the great joy to draw some illustrations for @illithiddies' wonderful fic for the @bg3bigbang! this is just one of them, go and read the fic to see the rest and also simply just to read some really good bloodweave <3

Wanted to expand on some of the stuff I wrote down on the religion hc post the other day + expand on the Julian stuff + … oh who am I kidding you guys know I’d just snap up any excuse to draw em rn I make no efforts to hide it /lh.

But on a serious note, the human-au specific notes;

1. Tailor develops his first crush on a classmate at the age of 10 on the boy that sat next to him during his Sunday Hebrew School; Noah Rubin. Noah was an intelligent and studious boy, Tailor finds himself coming over quite shy whenever he sees him, and he has a strange fluttery sensation in his stomach if he thinks about him … hm what could this mean?

2. Tailor talks to his synagogue’s Rabbi Levi. A compassionate and genuine man, Tailor felt safer talking to Levi even before his parents.  As expected, it was good call. They had a very genuine conversation that day about being born the way you’re supposed to be. Levi also knew Modiste and Yarner well enough to encourage Tailor to talk to them openly, which of course also goes well :)

3. The textile trio have a teenage talk some years later. All 3 discover none of them are straight and in Weaver’s case, not cis either.

4. Teen!Tailor meets a local sports star Julian Adkins. Julian is a regional champion ice skater, with the costumes to match. He’s confident, charismatic, charming … at least to begin with.

5.Yeah that smooth personality didn’t last long. Julian’s true personality comes out once he thinks he has Tailor on the hook. Selfish, manipulative, egotistical … Julian was only really after some fashionable clothes and a warm body for free. By the time Tailor got the sense to leave him it had already done some damage to both his optimism and his graduate programme, which he dropped out of due to having to see Julian on campus so much.

6. Adult!Tailor takes up his cousin’s offer to come and be their business partner in a little start up village they’ve heard about in Europe. The town could do with some clothes makers and the three think it would be an excellent start-over. Tailor thinks this might be a good opportunity to make some new friends at the very least … the villagers seem nice :)  

7. Several months after his wedding, Tailor Nudell-Cotter wrote a letter to Rabbi Levi. It mostly wished him well but also thanked him for being the first person he spoke to all those years ago, and reassured him that Tailor was truly happy where and who he was with now. He received a letter back a couple of weeks later that was genuinely proud of him. Tailor keeps the letter in his nightstand. He still looks at it sometimes.

[image description: two drawings of astarion and gale from baldurs gate 3 hugging. the one on the upper right side has gale starting the hug, with one arm visibly around astarion, leaning his head into his shoulder. astarion has one arm around gale, the other hand still hovering over his back. his eyes are open and he is not yet leaning in, somewhat aprehensive. the drawing on the lower left is similar to the first one, but this time astarion is also leaning into the hug, with his face smushed against gales shoulder and his eyes closed. next to the drawings are two crops of the lyrics to hoziers from eden, reading "babe / theres something tragic about you / something so magic about you / dont you agree" and "babe / theres something lonesome about you / something so wholesome about you / get closer to me". the whole image is colored in soft greys of yellow and blue hues. end image description]

[ID: a comic drawn on four images in a sketchy chibi style in gray scale.

image one consists of 3 panels. panel 1: YJH with his arms crossed, eyes closed, saying "i love women and having sex with women only. never had sex with a man. never will and i do not want to. i would not lie about this.” panel 2: HSY with her arms crossed, a questioning look, saying: “? you literally had sex with the other guy in this story you idiot. kim dickja or whatever.” panel 3: YJH with a look of indignation: “...”

image two consists of 3 panels. panel 1: YJH indignated, shouting (in all caps): “wh- literally who told you that. thats blatantly (underlined) untrue. i dont have sex with men, especially not him (underlined)” panel 2: HSY with her hands raised, angrily: “(in caps) you say this every time. (end caps) you have had sex with men before literally an undeniable fact. what is wrong (caps) with you. you are gay (caps) and flaming (caps)” panel 3: YJH, angrily, one finger raised: “name one (underlined) time (underlined) i had gay sex with another man. ill wait.”

image three consists of 5 panels. panel 1: HSY, one hand raised, eyes closed and a smug grin: “please. i (underlined) dont need to. hey dickja or whatever your name is i dont care. when is the last time you had sex with jooncock?” panel 2: KDJ, desinterested, looking at his phone: “uh last week i think?” an arrow is pointing at him, labeled “only half listening” panel 3: HSY, expression a mix of surprise and disgust: “...” panel 4: KDJ looking desinterested at his phone, loading throbber next to him. panel 5: KDJ with eyes wide in shock, throbber bursting next to him

image four consists of one panel. three big spiky speech bubbles, reading in all caps: “kim dokja get back here” “no i think biyoo called i-” “kim dokja!” HSY in the lower right hand corner is laughing with tears in her eyes, the “laughing crying” cursed emoji overlayed next to her. the background of the panel is filled with starstream messages along the lines of [the demon-like judge of fire is crying tears of joy] [200 coins have been sponsored.] [the queen of the dark-] the messages are cut off by the edges of the canvas and mostly covered by the large speech bubbles.

max wouldve sworn at 16 hes too big for david to pick up like a bunch of grapes but alas. some things just dont change 🌲🌳

psychonauts2 hard mode where everything is exactly the same except sashas clothes are way too big for raz so you end up tripping over your pants every few seconds

the first God who ever answers your prayers is a man who bares his neck for you.

he answers your plea for blood in a foolish show of unearned trust you find yourself unable to betray.

the taste burns on your tongue like sunlight should on your skin.

and yet for the first time in two hundred years, you are fed.

the first God who ever answers your prayers is a man willing to die of his devotion.

the curse in his chest, the promise of forgiveness, your teeth in his neck.

as you drink your fill, you wonder what will get him first.

the first God who ever answers your prayers is not yet a God at all.

but you are the first to pray to him.

a hair ruffle can be something so personal. to me
