❌ Is this ship well supported by canon

❌ Does this ship make any sense whatsoever by any reasonable metric

✅ Does the thought of these characters standing next to each other make you want to chew concrete and then break apart a nearby automobile with your bare hands

This is a painting I did in 2024. It's a master study of O Desterrado, sculpture by Soares dos Reis.

I updated it with some improvements to the face and hair.

It's that time of year again, you naughty number-loving nerds.

Whether you chose violence or call it an accident, these NPCs found their demise in your playthroughs.

Not sure what Volo did to you all to deserve this.

More non-Dark Urge players also managed to murder Alfira than Dark Urge players. Spawn of Bhaal or not, maybe it’s time to stop pointing fingers.

Some of you faced the Absolute with the most powerful weapons, others decided to bring a charcuterie board to a fight with a giant brain.

Speaking of weapons, you’ve been very skilled at finding the rarer ones in the game. Shout out to the folk who willingly wielded the rusty Poo-Scraper in Act 3.

For some of you, the strategy has been getting the entire party pissed before entering combat. Bottoms up for Drunken Master Monks, we suspect you are partially to blame for these.

Kinda weird, but not judging.

“Gwayne thought him cruel, but Gwayne thought that of many.”

How do I even begin to explain how much this line wrecks me.

It says so much about Gwayne AND Alicent's respective moral compasses and values, and possibly how they were raised as children.

Alicent having “duty must come before all else” hammered into her skull since she was a child, accepting so much violence directed towards her as a consequence of that, cruelty branded as duty, to a point she's only now realizing none of this was particularly worth it in the end (and also realizing she was perpetuating this cycle with her daughter).

Meanwhile, we don't know that much about Gwayne's upbringing, but there's evidently some history with Ormund based on their interactions onscreen, and the fact that he desperately tries to call out callous or cruel behavior from those around him, especially when they're made in the name of duty and family honor/values. He doesn't agree with the way Daeron is being flaunted by Ormund as the legitimate king. He wants to preserve his nephew, but has no idea how.

Gwayne and Alicent are really two faces of the same coin and I need them to see each other again and have more scenes together or I'll start setting things on fire.
