they are never getting out of this gayass bubble i fear
sequel to gromph and kimmmuriel in a magic bubble
I saw a joke on Tumblr about Gromph thinking it's terrible for a kid to become a ranger. It fits the meme so well. :D I don't know why Jarlaxle is the one sitting on the couch with the kids. Maybe he's playing along with Gromph. I think Gromph could start his own wizard academy. But the kids there are not to be envied.
Late posting, but! Drew some characters from Legend of Drizzt!
😍😍😍😍😍 GROMPH and DININ
Drow midlife crisis. When I say I'm old, my older brother laughs and coughs like an old man.(•_•) Gromph carries his familiar like a lady carries a small dog.)
baja blast you to smithereens
“So they come to believe their own lies,” said Jarlaxle. “As I said, I have known many matron mothers so afflicted.”
“That is different,” Gromph told him.
“Not so much so,” Kimmuriel corrected, which surprised Gromph and Jarlaxle, who, after all, had only been joking. “In both cases, the sickness is contracted through an overblown sense of pride, the deadliest of faults.”
“Then Gromph should be dead,” Jarlaxle said.
“Then Jarlaxle should be dead,” Gromph said at the same time.
Kimmuriel just paused and tightened his face in disapproval. The brothers looked at each other and scoffed—mirror images, they seemed.
kimmuriel gets slowly more and more tired the more he appears in these books and i honestly cannot blame him in the slightest
Ok, but also, can we appreciate the beautiful sibling bond between Gromph and Jarlaxle... the synchronized jab at each other? I love them so much. I need more of them.
Hi. I may have written a weird character analysis / astrological hot take on Gromph Baenre. Do with it what you will.
As someone who is very unwell about Gromph, this is a delightful read. I had lots of emotions I'm too stupid to express properly in words at the moment.

Gromph Baenre commission
Posting this here so it shows in the tags - I know I would be sad if I missed this - the absolutely lovely and incredibly talented @linaswalaf did a commission for me of Gromph Baenre.
Picture is cropped for adult content because Tumblr is annoying about shadowbanning. You can go see the full version on their Twitter and multiple variations on their Fanbox. They also have a ton of really amazing drow art you all would like. Go check it out!
The commission for @novarex , I can't post the whole pic here but you can check it in my other resources 😅
This is for all my unapologetic Gromph Baenre simps out there... and anyone who will be and just doesn't know it yet. Seriously, if you follow me because of my BG3 drow fics (Nere and Kar'Niss in particular) and general drow obsession... please read the Drizzt books. You will not be disappointed.
Definitely NSFW. From the absolutely outstanding and lovely @linaswalaf. You can find full versions of these on their Twitter and Fanbox.
I read the bully the ancient man into committing atrocities diary! (Legend of Drizzt: Archmage)
"Your father can't do anything right"... a recent history of Gromph Baenre. I like it when he fails. It's adorably pathetic.
Male drows getting death penalty for hitting on a female drow is insane
So imagine you are a male drow who is new to the surface world... possibly several hundred years old... all you have known is this... and you have no idea what you are supposed to do to court a woman... because literally your whole life, the punishment for pursuing a woman is possibly death... and also the same goes for rejecting a woman...
All I am saying is that there has to be some of the most akward, embarrassing, humiliating, strange interactions between drow men and human women in Luskan as more and more of Bregen D'aerthe's male drow try to figure it out.
I mean, Jarlaxle is a special cookie with exceptional social skills and the ability to read situations and adjust... and according to the One-Eyed Jax audiobook, Beniago seems to have figured it out (excuse me, courting more than a few human women? And they don't seem to care that he is drow?)... but I want to be a fly on the wall for all the other terribly akward interactions.
I mean, look at Gromph's first miserably failed attempt at flirting. He fucked up so badly and didn't even know he was fucking up until the end. I see a lot of people uncomfortable with his interaction with Cattie-Brie, but if you understand where he has spent eight centuries surviving, I feel like you gotta cut him some slack.
Anyway, I am here for the pathetic cringe-fail attempts. It's hot.
