gather 'round folks, it is time for another redundant self-indulgent BG3 comic

(more below)

[a little more context on the public patreon post]

I don’t think I will ever get over @velnna’s Astarion!! His big, bright eyes, his razor-sharp angles, his expressive posture — just his whole physicality. So beautifully done.

[hamrikaa]

The continuation of tailor Astarion ✨️

[overheardinfaerun]

Ughhhh his lil forehead wrinkles of concentration in the top two!! I love this take on him.

[pluviatrix]

(banging on the door of any and all wyllstarion servers) LET ME INNNN

[overheardinfaerun]

ugh I'm ruined

[dorindameddler]

just absolutely annihilated

[overheardinfaerun]

and they were ROOMMATES

[tavplum]

I just finished Wyll’s romance in my Astarion origin run. All I have to say is that Astarion is about to make his father-in-law’s life a living hell 🙂‍↕️

From the acorn proposal scene!

[overheardinfaerun]

another reason I love these two together: literally no one is better equipped to inflict laser-precision psychic damage on someone's morally rigid military-hero dad than Astarion Ancunín with a rock (acorn) on his finger.

[hvarra]

mean and violence bros

[overheardinfaerun]

i love them so

[vasiliquemort]

Was wandering the world, looking for velvet flowers of divine smokes With every next bare step - counted my years Within your feet I've found abandoned temple of me A heart cast in stone was getting lighter strangely

Unspeakable tenors of my adoring, soft-spoken doves within my love - all them, and all of thank-you's possible are for the @loquaciousquark!<з

[loquaciousquark]

Ahhh! Here they are, my beloved Tavish Gale and Astarion! This was a commission from the incredible @vasiliquemort, and I genuinely could not be happier with how it's come out. The mood, the colors, the flow, the expressions--even her rapier made it in, which overfills my heart every time I see it.

@vasiliquemort was wonderful to work with and communicated beautifully. The entire process was easy to navigate, and I can't recommend enough picking up a commission to support a Ukrainian artist! :D

Thank you so very much for bringing them to such beautiful life. I'll treasure this!

[overheardinfaerun]

I have been obsessed with @loquaciousquark's Tavish fics lately. If you haven't read them yet, get thee to AO3! They've got: 16 flavors of hurt/comfort, pickpocketing as a love language, the perfect ratio of resentful yearning to tenderness, so much indignant squabbling at various deathbeds, and a genuinely thrilling Cazador boss-battle.

I read them totally out of order because I stumbled on This Lethal Light Falls Softly first, but it's still my very favorite of the series. GO READ.

Delinquent shadowheart wip

[overheardinfaerun]

!!!!!!!

[sclappin]

Man whose definition of "monster" is extremely flexible.

[overheardinfaerun]

well I'm falling face-first into wyllstarion brain rot someone save me from myself ty

[overheardinfaerun]

Anybody else ever do that thing where you have a very time-sensitive task to do so instead you spend hours in this gorgeous picrew by oldmaker making all of the bg3 companions as if they're disaffected high schoolers who've just met in detention?

It is bad for the Important Task but honestly pretty good for the soul.

[fivefoxtails]

[overheardinfaerun]

Rude how beautiful he is sometimes

[velnna]

New BG3 mini comic! (keep reading below)

Mini comic to fill in that scene after the end fight, iyky

I wanted to add a bit at the end with the other companions but ran out of steam, oh well

[overheardinfaerun]

ouch my HEART

[overheardinfaerun]

Listen/purchase: Always Almost Home by Paul Spring

have you ever heard a more Gale Dekarios-coded song in your LIFE

“Beggar by choice / Scholar by trade / A crown is a crown / Even if it is of thistles made / I know what I like / My prison is fair / But I'm looking for some new / More comfortable shackles to wear / Stylish like the ones I had before / But with just a little less / Of a bite, I dont want em tight”

AND THE FLUTE??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[linakken]

[overheardinfaerun]

Ugh his dumb puckish smile I love him

[gethane]

Particularly elf-like.

[overheardinfaerun]

HOW AND WHY IS HE THIS SOFT

[overheardinfaerun]

Neil Newbon's character in Dungeon Masters getting this flustered about vampire stuff is fucking adorable

(also I left this video looping while I wrote this post, and Mayanna's delivery of "we're in a rush" somehow gets hotter every time)

[vampirehoney]

I need her
