Taylor | 30’s | She/Her | 18+ MDNI | Mostly BG3/Astarion. Sometimes Tom DeLonge and Emmrich Volkarin. | My main Tav is Andromeda Greenleaf, a Wood Elf Bard.
Hi, I’m Taylor! Welcome to my blog! The majority of my posting is screenshots I’ve taken of my BG3 runs, focusing mostly on my OC Andromeda and Astarion (BloodRose). I love them both very much. 🩸🥀❤️
I don’t mind if you use my screenshots for things, just please ask first and credit me if you do! ❤️

🩸The Melancholy Bard (18+ MDNI)🥀
Astarion finds himself frequently annoyed and intrigued by Andromeda, the melancholy bard that is leading their little band of misfits on their Illithid adventure. He thinks her weak and an easy target for manipulation, however, as he gets to know her, he realizes just how wrong he is and also that he might actually be developing feelings for her.

🩸I Think I Might Push My Luck With You (18+ MDNI)🥀
In a modern AU, Astarion meets Andromeda, a bartender and aspiring musician. While he finds her rather annoying at first, the more time he spends with the troubled woman, the more he realizes that he just might want to push his luck and let himself fall in love.

I will do this twice and annoy you with not one, but two of my OCs, because I don't get to talk about Arthas as much, but I want to make his infodump later too
⚡Basics⚡
Name: Tavanna
Alias: ... I am not good with names lol, she has no last name, but that is also because she doesn't know who her parents were for a long time, so she uses 'Tavanna of Candlekeep'
Background: sage
Gender: gender isn't real.. agender fits best
Sexuality: pansexual
Pronouns: she/they
⚡Other⚡
Family: Tavanna is born to a tiefling wizard who was assaulted by the god of storms and destruction, Talos. Her mother died in childbirth before placing a protective spell over her. Tavanna does not know this for the first 30 or so years of her life, though. Growing up, she moved from one foster family to another, often to other tieflings, though not only. With some of them, she had a neutral relationship; with some of them, it was a nightmare, but usually short-lived.
Birthplace: Candlekeep
Job: Before the nautiloid, she was mentored by the First Reader and served the Avowed. Many believed she would eventually become an archmage and succeed the First Reader, who was sickly at the time.
After the events surrounding the Absolute, she ties up any loose ends and leaves Candlekeep. Because of the citadel’s strict security and seclusion, she is thereafter treated as an ordinary visiting wizard, no longer granted the same access to its archives and resources that she once enjoyed. Still, her connections, reputation, and, well, persistence continue to get her wherever she needs to go, even years later.
After moving to Waterdeep, she works as a researcher, scholarly correspondent, advisor, academic. (A bit of a mad scientist too.) She might occasionally give a lecture or two, but she never aspires to pursue a professorship. She leaves that to Gale, who enjoys listening to himself far more. 😁
Phobias/Fears: Phobias: spiders, deep ocean waters. Fears... oh, nothing major, just that she's never good enough.
Hobbies: Books and reading (duh), cooking and discovering new recipes, traveling, petting all the dangerous animals that she can, later also gardening (with Tara's help, hehe)
⚡Morals⚡
Alignment: Chaotic neutral. She is a bit too benevolent to overlook crimes when she believes the ends justify the means — to be considered good-aligned.
Flaws: She tends to push both herself and others too much, strives for unreachable perfection. Awful at communication, especially about feelings, ugh. A study in contradictions. + Tells terrible dad jokes at inappropriate times.
Virtues: Extremely loyal to people she trusts, ride-or-die. She is very tolerant, accepting, and values people's autonomy. Surprisingly, despite her emotional outbursts, she can be patient when it matters.
⚡This or that⚡
Introvert/Ambivert/Extrovert, Organized/Disorganized (organized chaos), Closed-minded/Open-minded, Calm/Anxious/Restless, Disagreeable/In-Between/Agreeable, Patient/In-Between/Impatient (disregard what I just said in the virtues section, immediately lie), Outspoken/In-Between/Reserved, Leader/Follower/Flexible, Empathetic/In-Between/Apathetic, Optimist/Realist/Pessimist, Traditional/In-between/Modern (just dresses as an old lady, okay), Hard-working/In-Between/Lazy
no pressure tags, but I would love to see your OCs because I like them and want to know more: @miauzuli @katham1 @wildbloodwolf @daisy-dewdrop-fluffington @voyeuristicbeast @elfiramore @ladydarkka @thepalelawyer💜
The most romantic thing Ziraun did was to give Astarion the sun back.
These two got married soon after the game's events. While Ziraun himself dislikes the sun and prefers the darkness of his homeland, the Underdark, he wanted to give Astarion the sun back because Astarion loved it so much.
Ziraun is a former House Wizard from a ruling council house in Menzoberranzan, so he is a very skilled, intelligent, and capable wizard.
Eventually, he managed to create an amulet—a necklace that grants immunity to sunlight. Astarion was left speechless by the surprise.
After being able to walk in the sun again, the couple started to travel on the surface every now and then to see the world together. Ziraun happily takes his husband wherever he wants to go.

Chapter 9
I followed her willingly—into the warmth of the bath she had prepared, into her embrace, and later into her bed—and the details themselves matter less now than what I discovered there, which was not desire, since I had known desire for years, and not pleasure, since that too was familiar, but love. Affection, and the realization that intimacy could exist without urgency and without conquest and without either person attempting to prove anything at all. Two people could simply be present with one another and find it fulfilling.
