My comfort characters are Donatello, Jet Jaguar, and Reagan Ridley

SO WE FINALLY MET IREENA AND ISMARK....AND BY DAY ONE WE ALREADY LOVE THEM (and will die for them, Ireena especially). Which means I had to take time between commissions to make proper designs for them; bottom sketches are my first takes on them before getting a good grasp on their appearance.

Went with a traditional Romanian angle with their clothing--gee, I wonder why?--while trying to apply a touch of their own personalities mixed with Barovian drab. Our Ireena enjoys embroidery so I made it a point to add that to her design, as well as red accents to go with her hair and scarf. Ismark's is more serious and steeped in tradition which I think is befitting a man taking on the role of a village leader (whether he wants to accept such a responsibility or not).

I wanted Ireena to have a girl-next-door prettiness to her that matches her spunky, big sister attitude that ours has, while Ismark was based off our DM's vision of 'a young Sean Bean from a specific 90s TV series' mixed with aspects of his canonical portrait. Yes, the poor man is suffering from angst, lack of sleep, and a mullet (and awful unshaven hair).

it’s still deeply funny to me that jarlaxle and kimmuriel have like increasingly intimate moments revolving around jarlaxle’s mental privacy and him willingly allowing kimmuriel in to see his thoughts and then tucked away in one of the books as just a completely uncommented on event is “kimmuriel walking in on jarlaxle buck-ass naked and very busy in bed and not having any reaction but “let’s go to another room” and jarlaxle is like “oh, for you? anything” and gets dressed with absolutely no reluctance in front of him”

LIKE.

THESE TWO THINGS ARE IN THE SAME BOOK EVEN? YOU TWO ARE SOMETHING ELSE

Sellswords headcanon/thing that is amusing to me to imagine.

When Artemis and Jarlaxle were adventuring together, if someone asked Artemis about his "friend," he would immediately respond, "He's not my friend."

Jarlaxle overheard this of course and started playing along, also denying that they were friends when asked. Unlike Artemis, though, he always elaborated.

e.g.:

We met five minutes ago

I'm just following him because he owes me money

Who - Oh Hells, I thought I lost him

I've never seen that man before in my life

He's my husband

He's my twin brother

That's an automaton I built

We're members of rival factions tasked with spying on each other

"It's just that it's mostly my fault he got cursed so I feel obligated to help him find a way to break it." "In what way is he cursed?" "That's very polite of you to pretend not to notice."

He's a shape shifted red dragon and he's planning to eat me. Please help.

You can see him too??

I love that I mentioned how much I loved Jarlaxle at the beginning of my Dragon Heist campaign, and couldn't wait to introduce him because I thought my friend would like him too, and they were SO insistent that he was just a weird little rat man and were not convinced in the slightest.

Yes. He is a weird little rat man. Guess who's fallen down the rabbit hole with me 😌

this is entrapment

two equally delightful paths here:

1) a very simple and genuine “i like your shoelaces”, which tells me that you are either a lesbian or a very cool ally

2) “i like your shoelaces” followed by the pronounced grimace of one recalling their past sins, which tells me that you were a 2012 tumblr user. i now hold the power in this conversation and you are at my mercy.

if you know about 2012 tumblr how do you hold any power in any conversation

well, stucky fanfic url, the trick is to not let them know that you are also cringe

Why in God's name would a vampire drink pepsi

Why would anyone drink Pepsi?

Huh?

That’s why I’m not a fan of the sexy vampire trope.

1. It’s overused and supports the current status quote of typical vampire supremacy:worshiping rich folk.

2. Vampires prey upon humans and therefore symbolize capitalists preying on the working class.

3. Werewolves are much sexier imo.
