Oh, how that line made my blood boil—especially after my paladin lost her faith at the end of Astarion’s quest. And mind you, I had never lost it before that moment! 😭🤬
Tell me I’m not the only one who wanted to throw those words right back at him after witnessing the Ascended romance scene for the first time! 😈✨
P.S. Just to be clear, I love both versions of Astarion. I’m just so bitter about my lost faith! 😤😔
I drew this Ofelia portrait while listening to Pink in the Night by Mitski (over and over again haha). Her right eye is a little wonky and large, but I had fun with it! This scene will take place after the Creche/during? It's planned out, and it's going to be sad because sad stuff is my jam, unfortunately. 😞
With Stars to Fill My Dream (8) - Born in Blood I'm Not Like You
Hi everybody!!! I drew this!! It's Ofelia!!! 💖💖💖
I'm getting back into the groove of digital art, so please excuse any mistakes- I have given up on perfecting blending, so I'm happy with this. 😊 Her top is from the Bardic Finery mod!
I know there's a warning stated below, but this chapter does have more canon-typical violence and gore than any chapter before it! Please keep that in mind before reading!
You're in for a treat this chapter- in addition to the violence, we have some steamy crumbs! Please enjoy ❤
Summary: A street-smart, musically inclined human girl with a tragic past gets abducted by a nautiloid after her painfully average shift at a retro singing diner. What's worse- putting your all into Olivia Newton-John and Travolta for lousy tips, or getting your guts ripped out by a gnoll? Or worse- getting turned into a hideous humanoid squid? Ofelia Montez will have to see if she can survive long enough to find out.
Pairing: Astarion x female!Tav
Warnings: 18+. Mentions of past abuse and trauma. Canon-typical violence and gore.

Opening below the cut!
A cool, dark sky sprawls out before her, thunder clapping in the distance. She waits in front of a red door, ornate stained glass decorating either side of it. A figure approaches from within, blurred by the filigree and texture, before it opens.
Many scenes flash by: meeting the potential adopters. They’re a pretty couple in their late forties, accompanied by their only son. His blue eyes are cold and piercing. She hates that he stares at her the entire time. She sees her room, blank and dull. Cool tones. Grays. The emptiness of it haunts her over the next seven months.
It doesn’t start bad.
She’s used to the distance and adjustment period. She uses the unnatural silence she wouldn’t have had back at her last foster home to excel in all her classes. She’s determined to apply for those good scholarships next year- wants them to carry her out of this bleak life.
YOUR ART IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Just wanted to come here and say this!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you! 🙏 I'm so happy about this!🥹 Especially... You were my first... (I can't help myself not to use this line)😊 It's the first time someone asked me something on Tumblr! Not exactly a question, but still! 🤭Thanks again, it means a lot to me, especially coming from a such a creative person as you (I peeked at your page)😎😎
My girl... 😭😭she's going to be okay, right? 🥺🥺right?🤔🤔
Octavia has been living in my head for so long, but seeing her on the screen for the first time was like meeting her in person. I started with her as a vampire, after she had came through some tough times😫😫. But something was missing. To really understand her, I needed to see her alive.
When I drew her as she was before, something shifted. I saw her bright eyes, her untouched beauty, her hope—and I fell for her all over again. But it hurt, too. I realized this version of her is almost like a ghost. A life she can never return to. And when I drew her, it felt like I was grieving that life alongside her. I will miss her so much.😢😢
She’s a high elf and a paladin of the Oath of Vengeance🗡️… though vengeance is a bit of a complicated matter for her. She doesn’t like excessive violence, but she’s damn good at it.
Octavia has little patience for aristocrats, moralists, and bards. In her free time, she enjoys reading novels, gambling, and engaging in long debates with her companions—whether they want to or not.
