āWhile I hope that isnāt your intention, staring any harder at the fire wonāt make it any stronger. No matter how accomplished you may be.ā
You feel the muscles in your brows relax in the dark of the night. Interesting, that. Considering how you donāt recall them furrowing so tightly in the first place.
Hearing the scratch of shoes against stone, you feel him make himself more apparent, as he always did. Moving to stand beside you. Not resting his eyes upon your visage just yet. Choosing to study the dying embers you must have been glaring at in front of you.
He takes quite an awful amount of time in doing so, too. Whatever thought you might have been thinking about long gone from your grasp as his presence unnerves you.
You feel your hands clenching and unclenching to alleviate yourself.
Yet the very air around him still makes your head swim, and your blood boil.
He takes a deep breath, as if steeling his resolve, before turning to look at you.
āWhatās on your mind?ā
āCut the shit, Dekarios. What do you want?ā
He shudders at the use of his name, but raises his hand up in false surrender. Gesticulating with his arms and hands as much as he did when you last saw him this close up.
āI mean no harm, and I see no point in denying to remedy whatever rift may have come between us.ā He motions to the both of you, as he speaks.
āCome now,ā he moves to lessen your distance, but you only turn to keep facing the dying campfire as he continues.
āSurely whatever schoolyard taunts and transgressions exchanged arenāt worth jeopardizing our efforts in our search for a cure, hm?ā Thereās a hopeful lilt at the end in his voice. He looks almost sincerely apologetic as continues on. Words, lacking their usual garrulous nature, as if keeping things short and simple would appease you.
If you didnāt know any better, youād say he was apologizing out of the goodness of his heart.
āAnd who told you to apologize this time? Was it our fiery friend, or āThe Blade of Frontiers?ā Or perhaps even our closest confidante; Astarion?ā He raises a finger up with a confused expression to counter, but you beat him to it.
āWith all due respect, Mr. Dekarios, we can go on our merry little way without discussing this.ā You still refuse to look at him as you settle on admiring your nails for a change of scenery.
āPerhaps weāll find some other fortune altogether and be rid of our parasites in the mornings that follow! And our little truce will matter not once we part ways and we both return to where we belong.ā You finally move towards your tent to close your conversation, but Gale seems to ignore the implication as he follows you.
āYou can finally return home to your beloved tower in Waterdeep, and I will be happily rotting in my little hovel.ā You make one final tilt of the head to look at him, as if turning your whole body would be too much of an effort or grace to bestow upon him.
āGood night, sir Archmage.ā You huff out as you disappear into the flaps of your tent without even letting your old classmate a chance to retaliate.
He stares incredulously at the still swishing material of your sanctuary. He releases a heavy sigh that built up in him and walked back to his own space in the camp to stew in his thoughts.
His eyes catching on the spyglass that he set up right outside his tent with disappointment.
If things had gone pleasantly, he wouldāve asked you to observe the stars with him, as they were clearer to see from here than in Baldurās Gate.
He distantly recalls you wanting for one during your academy days as the view from your little hovel, as he once called it, was rather murky. What with all the factories in the area.
He takes one last look at your tent from his and shakes his head.
It eludes him why youāre so hostile around him.
And even more so when youāre nowhere near this way around the others. He figured you two would be closer, given your shared interests and trade.
Hells, he even admired you all those years ago. Watching you accomplish so much, despite many difficulties. He wonders if youāve ever respected him in the same way.
He sees Wyll looking at him, and he shakes his head to tell him that he doesnāt feel like talking. Entering his own tent to turn in for the night.
Hoping for any good that the gods can afford them come first light.
Heyooo!! I know I havenāt updated in a hot minute, but Iāve really been busy with Uni and a lot of my orgs, but!! I want to get back on writing, just a little less linearly/multiple part stories, so!!
Iāve decided to do matchup commissions for 5.00$!!
Iāll be opening matchups for Baldurās Gate 3, and Criminal Minds (but specifically from season 1-6 because theyāre where I think the characters were the most true to themselves before the writers were essentially jerking them around wkfkkskd)
Youāre free to add any information youād like, but I would specifically ask for!!
Your personality (or MBTI/Enneagram personality type),
What gender you would like to be matched with (if youād prefer to be matched with a male or female)
other trivia that are specific to you!! (Meaning specific hyperfixations, sexuality, preference in style, etc)
You can also include how you look, what role you would like to have/what you do have in the matchup, your class and background (for BG3 matchups lolol), and other stuff like that!!
Iām looking forward to writing and interacting with you guys again!! ļ½ļ½„Ļļ½„)9
listen, fuck "to each their own", sometimes your mutual gets into some batshit insane rarepair that they're a little embarrassed about and it becomes your sworn duty to put on your jester bells and jingle jangle proudly by their side for moral support. don't be a pussy. it's ride or die motherfucker
Okay Iām currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when Iāve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so Iām about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!
The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.
This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.
Here is a short and easy video showing this in action
The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.
You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell thereās a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesnāt get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.
If you need a visual hereās a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because itās been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!
I seriously cannot believe I didnāt hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.
If any of this information helps you Iād love to hear it btw! Itās so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!
Thinking of Gale x Wizard!Tav/ reader ideas!! (I one day hope to get around to writing this, but if anyone does so in my stead, please tag me so I can read it too!!)
Academic Rivals to Lovers
To the faculty, he was a ball of boundless potential. To the entire student body, he was an annoying know-it-all whose mouth never shut up, lest he was seconds away from getting caught.
Mr. Dekarios has always been quite the prodigy, or so the talk of the academy says. Showing exceptional wit and charm through his words and spell casting, it was no wonder he quickly gained Mystraās favor.
So after having been abducted by the nautiloid, and asking help from the stranger on the other side of his portal, what happens when one Gale of Waterdeep looks up to meet the eyes of an old classmate?
More specifically, a classmate that, for some reason, always had a bone pick with him, and only him.
But he supposed he shouldnāt be too surprised. For a wizardās competition lies in whose ambitions dominate the other.
Through Complicated Backgrounds
Thieving about was not a way in which any wizard wouldāve chosen to start their careers, and yet there you were.
Well, it wasnāt stealing really if you needed it more, was it?
No one would help you, so you helped yourself. Taught yourself everything there would be to learn about the arcane and more, yet it is still not enough.
And youāve come to know that it will never be enough.
For he who had everything, and was everything, you ever wanted incarnate, was leagues ahead of you.
āYou have a type, donāt you?ā
In which the amnesiac Bhaalspawn seems to have taken an interest in one Gale of Waterdeep.
However after setting foot into Wyrmās Crossing and being personally invited by the Archduke Enver Gortash, it would seem that Gale isnāt the first brainiac to have ignited something in the fellow Wizard.
Of Logic and Love
The pragmatic in you had never truly understood any, if not all, the intricacies that came with feeling.
Choosing the company of books and scrolls in your youth, youāve never cared much for anything.
Never had to think about anyone.
Never had to deal with the ugly and bitter mess that would rend your heart in two if you mulled over someone from time to time.
And falling in love with the one and only Gale of Waterdeep has only made it more difficult.
You will never understand the relationship he once shared with the Mistress of Magic.
You will never understand how he sees you in the relationship you share now.
And you will never understand the depths of his āfeelingsā for you.
āāāāāāāāāāāāā-
Thatās what I have so far!!
Please feel free to tell me what you think about these ideas, and if you know any material that features this ideas, or plan to use this in a fic, please tag me so that I can read it!!

If anyone can tell me what the marauders were described to look like by the books/ show me specific instances that mention what their features are like, please do soā-
I want to make fanart of them, and itās sort of hard to search online since no one really mentioned all their features/all the mentioned features.
Moreover, Iād prefer it if you described them without the use of other existing fanart, as Iād like to come up with what their features must look like based only on text and without immediate external comparison :DDD
Also!! I looked some stuff up and some people mention that Remus was described as āpaleā in the books. Does that mean āpaleā in the modern connotation meaning ālight in colorā or in the original connotation that just meant ālacking in colorā/ sallow/ grey or sickly toned?
These were sketches I made with only what I remember my friend saying about them whennthey were students, for anyone who was curiousā so yeah. Iāll probbaly sketch James after my exam and for Peter, wellā¦Iāll think about it :DDD

Anywaysā decided to paint what I imagined the mc from my Severus Snape angst idea would look like (will not be reflected in my writing if I do end up writing it, donāt worryā)!!
With that in mind however, Iāll probably want to do a painting for the married couple (which will probably look as grim as this one) but!!
Do you guys think I should reference younger!Snape (Alec Hopkins) or the canon timeline Snape (Alan Rickman) in the painting?
I ask because on one hand, I want to paint closer to what Sev wouldāve looked like in the books, and I imagined the characters would marry near after graduation. On the other hand, I do think that Alan Rickmanās visage is the face most associated with the character!
