There was something about Morgan that Maleane found hard to resist. Perhaps it was the familiarity, the recognition of some part of herself in another person. Or maybe it was the way the human carried herself, not shying away from voicing exactly what she wanted and pursuing it with ease. Or maybe it was her choice of company that left the drow intrigued. What was so special about the fellow sorcerer that made the vampire spawn fall so desperately in love?
the beautiful morgan belongs to @tadpole-apocalypse 💜
Thank you so much to @tadpole-apocalypse for this incredible commissioned art of my Tav, Zyn (male this time) and Astarion from my modern au fic Vampires, Romance, and Other Dead Things.
Happy Birthday!
I adore your OC Morgan and all of your art of her with Astarion. I hope you enjoy this gift art of them! I got a LITTLE carried away so it MAY be too NSFT but I just couldn't bear to change the pose! So do with it whatever you please.
Thank you for sharing your lovely work with the world!!
20 years ago today the greatest movie ever made released to theatres. That's right - Shrek 2. In honor of such a momentous occasion I've crafted this homage to loving ogres.
Thanks for reading! Pinned post for more links.
I love to look at your kidstarion doodles and comics before I'm going to bed (not every evening but I do it now). I've also got some troubles with bedtime (thanks to my trauma), but I'm a adult and that little bean is comforting.
They're also my bedtime brain comfort food, I'm glad to be able to share them <333
I talked about posting my Morgan lore dumps like a million years ago it feels, here is one of them finally in a coherent post now that all the emergencies in my life have calmed down. I have more that I’m cleaning up to be more readable.
Under a cut for talks of sad, sexually repressed cultists being abused.

Morgan’s sexuality and ability to express it is very important to her. The cult she grew up in and was a part of until she was 16, was extremely repressed and any talk or expression of sexuality was both forbidden and punished severely.
Sex and procreation was entirely within the control and whims of their immortal cult leader who was breeding his own little human settlement, with meticulous attention to their genetics and lineage. As far as Morgan is aware, she was born in this environment. (She wasn’t, but that’s another plot thread I’m working on). Their cult leader was mostly detached from his followers day to day lives, only involving himself for medical procedures and certain rituals. He actually finds humans to be disgusting and dirty creatures and requires they shave off all their body hair and bathe frequently to be in his presence which becomes part of their religious doctrine over time. He mostly doesn’t care about the religion that they’ve created around him, he sees them as livestock and keeps the population carefully controlled so as not to attract any unwanted attention from either authorities or gods wondering why these souls aren’t available to them.
Feeling inherently dirty and inferior was a normal part of her childhood. As far as she knew, there were no men in the cult and she only grew up around other women. Morgan and her sisters were never allowed to leave, because her leader was too paranoid about his flock getting impregnated by random men and ruining the lineage he was working on. They were told stories of the wicked men that lived in the apocalyptic wastes outside their walls that would steal them away to ravish them. They were “taught” many ridiculous things of the outside world that had been told over many generations that she had to unlearn when she finally was free of this environment.
Any of the women who gave birth became part of an elevated class in their society, as motherhood was pretty much the only objective they had; birthing more subjects for the Father’s experiments. All their lives revolved around attempting to please this detached Eladrin who controlled them entirely and barely treated them as sentient creatures. Female babies were raised communally, male babies were handed over to the Father for unknown purposes.
Self pleasure was dirty and forbidden, they had some of the girls policing the others to report back to the head mothers, checking hands under blankets and generally anyone found masturbating was punished by whipping, and frequent repeat offenses involved a chastity belt.
Morgan has had strong sexual urges as long as she can remember and it’s always something she was getting in trouble for. Getting caught fooling around with the other girls or on her own earned her many beatings. and she has scars on her back and shoulders from these punishments.
Her wild magic began to emerge as she reached adolescence. It became disruptive enough that Their Father took and interest in her and then shunt her magic off entirely with a powerful magic item (sussur powered). She had no access to her magic for 2 years, until the item came off with catastrophic results.
