Finished commission for @12thhouse-sun This is her character Poppy with Gale, in a modern setting. The scene is from her fic "Wild Geese" on AO3– go check it out for witty banter and plenty of spice!

This piece really pushed me to work on the background, which was good for me. Also, I finally drew Gale! Oh, Mr. Dekarios, your face is more complex than I thought it would be.

Commissions are available via my ko-fi, link in bio! If you have something in mind that’s not on my current offerings, feel free to DM me!

“Mystra would consider… forgiveness?”

We were literally on our way out from Katsucon when I looked down at the carpet and went ‘huh that looks rather Mystra symbol-y, doesn’t it?’ and @silhouette-cosplay immediately pulled out the camera like ‘it does, lie down’ xD Thank you, Katsu carpet!

So excited to share my piece from the Galemancer zine, a Tempest of Events, featuring Ros and Gale! Ros has always been a sea witch, and so Gale being an evocation wizard, I always gave him lots of lightning spells (as depicted in a lot of his art for BG3). I thought it was so poetic and potentially a dangerous combo for their enemies.

Not a good idea to try face swap with your tressym guardian

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

[headspace-hotel]

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.
