you know what? time and tide HAVE roiled me too harshly. diurnal courses HAVE left me with no safe haven. radio preachers, please look for me and find me a little faster.

I had a vision; Astarion & Karlach on DWTS with Karlach as Illona & Astarion as Alan

OH MY GOD

bro if i could i would drop everything and draw this immediately

PEAK TUMBLR

Many have written about how Karlach throws Astarion, well… Don't worry, no Astarions were harmed! But I can't say the same about Gortash…

Back again

And look who came crawling back, I know! I’ve not used Tumblr in a hot minuet. Hi everyone

It fascinates me a little that so many people went in for Astarion when the suave, manipulative, dangerous but secretly traumatized persona was all they knew him for, but then lost interest when the mask came off and they saw the strange, goofy, uncertain mess of a man underneath. Because honestly, my experience was the exact opposite of that. Like yeah yeah, ok sure, hot vampire, that's fine I guess, but wait, you mean to tell me he tells terrible jokes and sasses everybody and embroiders and is generally just a sad wet cat of a man? Honey sign me tf up.

i know people complain/make fun of Astarion's attempt to bite Tav or origin characters because like, he's seen how everyone fights, everyone's on edge, and he thought they wouldn't wake up to him BITING them?

sure, he's pretty desperate but personally i hc him as counting on Tav to wake up. he wants to confess that he's a vampire, he just doesn't know how. whether consciously or subconsciously he wants to get caught, and he chooses who he thinks will most likely hear him out.

it makes even more sense since he still tries to bite you as Karlach, when he should know damn well he can't even touch her.

astarion x tav commission for @/alays.version over on instagram. she’s consoling him after burning in the pier 😔🫶

The next batch of adventurers who come to save Baldur's Gate and realize that not only is there a major war effort led by an ex-bhaalspawn and a drow exile from the city government, but it's also backed up by a giant Sharran cloister, an entire underworld web with a vampire lord at the head, and a whole ass newly formed god:
