hey! i finished my emps/illithid tav longfic! maybe check it out if you want some slices of soft post-game life for that pairing. it's my first fanfic in 10+ years, but it was written very much from the heart and from wanting to make the emperor happy. rated M for canon-typical violence and one vague mind sex scene. (art above is a commission from nopu. go buy art from her, she's incredible.)

i try not to make a habit of posting studies buuut i actually like how this one turned out

moss in botticelli's venus (pose) & adoration of the magi (clothes) :'v tried to emulate the way that man painted/shaded folds in his robes/capes and i think i've learned a few things, so i'm happy

How long have you been keeping that one up your sleeve?

(a little gift from my beloved bestie, @embrace-your-illithid ; 3; no one understands the Emperor quite like you dooo)

but there is safety in your monstrous maw ... ... the safety to be my monstrous self, with you

heyo. i wrote a short vignette about the Emperor recently, which can be found here on ao3. it's about Moss (my illithid Tav) taking the Emperor to the Great Spire of Yal Tengri, but also about the existential grief of no longer being the person you used to be, making one's own meaning in a meaningless existence, and shrimp colors. 1k words, no warnings. snip:

Even as your shared dream-ship rolled forward, the Spire never seemed to get closer. It loomed eternally in the distance, as desolate as the ice caps surrounding it, like a forgotten lighthouse, or the tower of an abandoned cathedral, its only defining feature being the crystals of glass haphazardly jutting out across every meter of its surface. Balduran would never reach that spire. He would never see the heights of the world. No, he would instead meet his insignificance within its depths.

-- your so-called Emperor, more akin to a pawn in countenance; only capable of usefulness as dictated by your betters --

gathering daisies for their daisy 🦑🌼💕

shots for the amazing @arafel0194's latest mod, my funny valentine! it contains equippable bouquets, flower decorations, and a huge honking engagement ring (not shown here since Moss has their own special ring that i shan't ever remove.) be sure to read the beautiful poems written in the descriptions of each different weapon, too~ <3

I also had a lot of fun with Baldur's Gate 3!

[magmethius]

they say life is a tale, it begins and it ends and forever's a word that we can't understand - well, i know that my life's better when we're together so why can't our story just go on forever?

(thank you for my life for my incredible amazing wonderful friends @bee-pyromancer and @arachnomancer for making their brainy rings of mind shielding as a real mod for me. ;_; i will be screaming about this forever...)

[magmethius]

commissioned my amazing friend Veena for a Moss portrait and i could not possibly be happier with the result <3 the flower halo! the healed giantslayer! the piercing but gentle gaze!! that's my baby... ; w;

honeybee, i can't imagine how my life would be if all your gravity did not hit me - but here we are, after all the messes and confessions to the stars that we never really owned as ours...
