Emperor of the Belynne Stelmane Fanclub @baldursghaik - Tumblr Blog

Finally making a pinned post, since it's long overdue

Hello! I've been on tumblr longer than anyone probably should, and therefore I am Old, probably a lot older than you. Minors absolutely do not interact with this blog, please--while most of what I talk about is safe for work, I am not shy about discussing adult materials, and I am extremely uncomfortable with anyone under the age of 18 interacting with me or my works at all, even if it's just likes. All I ask is that you respect that, please and thank you.

I primarily talk about my tav, Thyneron, and his relationship with the Emperor, but I am a huge fan of Forgotten Realms in general, so you'll see a lot of love for all the bg3 characters, as well as other DnD works, such as the Legend of Drizzt, Honor Among Thieves, etc

I wrote a novel length fanfiction about Thyneron's journey through BG3 which can be found here on AO3, and I make comics, the tags for which can be found at the top of this page.

A brief F.A.Q.:

What hardware/software do you use to draw with?

Clip Studio Paint and a HUION drawing tablet. I also occasionally use Sketchup for modeling backgrounds/scenery to make the perspective process smoother.

Do you mind if I use he/him pronouns for the Emperor?

Firstly, please do whatever you like and feel comfortable with! I personally prefer to use it/its pronouns for it, but I will occasionally use masculine pronouns as well. I am not in any way, shape, or form offended when people use other pronouns for it.

On a similar note, post ceremorphosis Thyneron also switches to its pronouns, but even I still broadly use he/him for it. I will not be offended if you use either for him in any stage of his life.

How the hell do you pronounce Thyneron?

Thih-nerin, basically like "thin erin" rolled into a single word.

galedekarios

hearing about gale from tara is always such a treat because she's known him for so, so long, ever since he was just a boy and has watched him grow into who he is now:

Player: Excruciatingly awkward. On my side, at least. Tara the Tressym: Don't be too hard on yourself, sir. You've been like that all your life.

Player: It's very unsettling how you can tell what I've been up to just by looking at me... Tara the Tressym: Tressyms are exceptionally intuitive. And also, you wear your emotions like a very garish cravat.

Tara the Tressym: If that's all, then what comes after is for you to decide, Mr Dekarios. Think well on all that's happened, and stay true to that heart of yours. It's a good one.

which also sort of ties into this:

Player: I'd never want to lose you, Tara. I'll return the Crown to Mystra. Tara the Tressym: There's a good humanoid. You had me scared for a moment here. But you're wise - and wiser all the time.

Player: That's just my boyish charm. Tara the Tressym: Boyish charm and knees that creak like rusted hinges! Quite the combination.

Player: I'm honestly not sure. But don't worry - it's nothing I can't handle. Tara the Tressym: Very tough.

Player: Must be the beard. Tara the Tressym: Don't be silly. What is it really?

she's absolutely not averse to teasing him. however, it's never cruel and always light-hearted, just like she's not afraid to call him out on evading questions or making him reflect on the choices he takes if she does disagree with him. it really speaks of how long they have been at each other's side.

Tara the Tressym: Mr Dekarios. Gale. You are the finest mind - the finest wizard - I have ever had the pleasure to know. If anyone can beat this thing, it is you. When you tried to control the Weave - when it all went, pardon my language, belly up - I was terrified. Scared you'd be hurt. Scared Mystra would punish you for your transgression. But do you know what never crossed my mind? That you wouldn't figure a way out of it. My clever friend never leaves a knot knotted. This parasite is one more knot, so get to tugging threads. And - Mr Dekarios - please. The beard. I'd cut it down myself if I could hold a razor.

so from tara's pov, gale's always been awkward and obvious with his emotions.

she's convinced he has a genuinely good heart, one that she hopes he'll stay true to.

tara thinks he's wise, and growing wiser (condition: gale rejects to take the crown for himself).

she also thinks he's clever and brilliant.

i think there is a difference between a knowingly flawed character and a thematically uncomfortable character and knowing the difference is half the battle

tartaeya

knowingly flawed character: this character has traits that the author deliberately put in to show they have nuance and aren't perfect as a person. this will put them at odds with some readers and endear them to others, depending on them as people, and that's good!

thematically uncomfortable character: oh boy the author has some Beliefs

We will literally never progress past biphobia until people realize that bisexuals in het relationships are still having a queer experience by virtue of being bisexual, we do not magically oscillate between gay enough and too straight. I’m going to maul someone to death.

#me and lady ghaik #and lord people are not prepared to hear that we consider and outright prefer our relationship to be called straight

the generational gap between me and the chronic complainers in fandom tags for every little thing

“we need more fics where…” write it

“I don’t like…” no one asked go complain in dms

“he wouldn’t say…” to YOU maybe it’s just FUN

#Dungeon Meshi #finally the vision is realized #transfem marcille is so real to me and I am delighted to see other people see it too

more than the abolishment of gender (which I am not a fan of because I quite like mine, thank you very much), what I really support is full bodily autonomy. you can be a cis woman who gets phalloplasty. cis men should be allowed to inject estrogen. all human beings should be allowed, and even more importantly, financially able to modify their bodies as they see fit

these are the walls I want to see torn down

It's been a while since I said "this person wins the internet", but today it is merited.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

manuciruja

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

smadsel

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

smadsel

that’s not the whole flag, now is it
