I’m so used to drawing Dragonborn now that it took me 10 minutes to doodle him (his name is Cillian!) but I tried to draw Astarion and it took me 3 fuckin’ hours
Anyway here’s a mini non linear sneak peak of a continuation of “Sweet Sister My Slaughterkin”
As I mentioned in a previous post I have not planned anything for this! I just have a vague head canon that Durge journals and sketches to try and remember things, so I’m going with it.
This is set after the reunion party and he is at Candlekeep with Astarion researching Bhaalspawn, while Astarion researches vampirism.
Cillian’s journaling is not a pleasant experience and he wishes not to remember certain things about his past, and about the atrocities he has committed. But he feels it is a way to take accountability and atone. He feels he must face these things, no matter how sickening. It is probably not the healthiest way for him to manage his feelings but he can’t help it. It’s a compulsion to want to know every dirty detail.
The Absolute crisis and rejecting Bhaal is just the beginning of his atonement. He is feeling a lot of grief and depression. He is disassociated with a lot of it like he is looking through someone else’s eyes, but that doesn’t make it less shocking.
Sooooo in Baulder's Gate I'm doing a Dark Urge playthrough where they're trying to be a good person and do the right thing and I'm in act 3 and officially meet Gortash.....
And all I have to say is Gortash is fucking head over heels for Durge golly XD his voice is so soft when he talks to them but not in the way you speak to an old friend but in a way a widow talks to the ghost of her deceased lover
But at the same time Durge is NOT fuckin with him at all XD one of the worst cases of one-sided relationships I've seen
