Been spending a lot of time lately with my new best friends.

Sometimes I put my face up against my dog while he's sleeping to feel his little lungs expand and his little heart beat and I am struck by the beauty of of life and the miracle of nature to evolve for thousands of years just to create one little guy and put him in my house
My goodest boy, Jayden, who talks all of his friends out their plans for ascension or godhood but felt he had to take the Emperor up on his offer. (He’s doing it for the greater good of the rest of the team! And because I want illithid powers!)
I play him as self-sacrificing to the point of naïveté, supporting all his friends to make better decisions for themselves while taking on probably nefarious powers to make sure he can be formidable when the big fights come.
He’s also a bard, so I like to think he’s wildly out of his depth playing savior to the world and personal therapist to this roving band of weirdos.

Just a heads up that you can preorder signed, personalized copies of my upcoming poly romcom from The Ripped Bodice in Brooklyn and get a sweet lil card with character art by @myishaart plus some cocktail recipes. They're taking preorders until May 28.
AND just a heads up that this or any other preorder will get you a chance to win some cocktail stuff in the preorder campaign
Begging on my knees for your preorders!!!! This is how I will be allowed to continue publishing bonkers romances with queer and trans and nonbinary characters!
Hey, preorder this awesome new book from TJ and get some cool art from me! Had such fun drawing these characters, and I hope you’ll have fun reading them!
I…found Zevlor.
Orin brought him. 😬

100+ hours into this game and I only just *now* discovered I could’ve had a dog and owlbear cub in my camp???
Other things I missed, apparently:
- A town was on fire and I guess everyone died? Oops.
- Zevlor in the mindflayer colony. RIP, my dude.
- I guess I could’ve just knocked out Minthara instead of killing her?
- The drow twins (I mean I didn’t *miss* them, I definitely talked to them, but Gale said no and in this house we respect boundaries!)

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.
But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.
And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.
And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.
and then you get to the hospital and the doctors try to kill you

Having a blast drawing all my new friends
Still puttering away on this in between comic work…
Shrieking “wait, WHAT” repeatedly at higher and higher octaves at this Gale scene.
I reached a sound only dogs could hear by the time there were three of him.
The most harrowing part of this game so far has been letting Volo perform surgery on me. It was worth it in the end but my god, it felt like the game was trying to make me crawl out of my skin.

I made Lae’zel turn her back on her goddess and slaughter her people and now we’re best friends, meanwhile I tell Astarion I think he’s pretty and that we should like, help orphans sometimes, and his approval is two degrees above lukewarm.
Apparently the answer was “1) don’t make him drink a drow’s funky blood and 2) ask to just be friends.”
When I tell you I fistpumped when he said “I’ve never had a friend before” and held my Tav’s hand—mark my words, I’m gonna win this game through the power of FRIENDSHIP.
