★ hey, i'm starlight or star! i'm genderfluid (sometimes a woman, sometimes a man, sometimes agender) and i use they/she/he pronouns interchangeably.
★ this blog is a multifandom mess but as my bio mentions, i most actively post about disney movies & animation in general, baldur's gate 3, and twisted wonderland. i am also a huge fan of kingdom hearts and pokemon.
★ i'm a gifmaker and i track #userstarlight so feel free to tag me in your creations!
★ these days i'm so obsessed with bg3 and with my OC elenion that i started writing gale x tav fics about him. here's my ao3 and my writing tag!!
★ elenion is my main tav—a half-elf bard who romanced gale! i tried to make a masterpost about him, but because of tumblr's limit on how many links you can have in a post i had to split it into 3 parts. part 1 is here, part 2 is here, and part 3 is here.
★ i also have another tav named briala—a halfling monk who romanced lae'zel—and here's her intro post and tag!
★ my ask box is always open and i love chatting and getting fun questions, especially about disney, bg3, twst, kh, and pokemon. if you have OCs for these things please tell me about them i'd love to hear about them 💜
★ i have an anime/manga sideblog over at @ritsukageyamas, a blog dedicated to the emperor's new groove at @kuzcoskingdom, and a stim blog where i make my own stimmy gifs and post stimboards over at @glitteringstardust!
★ and finally, if you need anything at all tagged, whether we're mutuals or not, let me know and i'll do my best to keep it in mind!
wanted to share this from bluesky 💙 i've posted the photo on tumblr before, here.
didn't wanna make the bluesky thread too long, but on here i can elaborate slightly more: gale really likes making elenion count partly because it lets him check in and make sure elenion is still with him every few strikes, and partly because it gives him a second to soothe the sting (...and appreciate elenion's gorgeous ass). elenion likes to mouth off even more while he's supposed to be counting.
and he sometimes laughs in the middle of being spanked—say, if he mouthed off and immediately regretted it, or a swat surprised him in a good way, or gale scolding him in his Serious Professor Voice is unintentionally funny to him. or if he's just enjoying the scene so much he can't help laughing. gale absolutely adores that, and also loves turning those laughs into moans. these two are very kinky and ridiculously soft at the same time.
New drawing for the the red sorcerer Caedus character sheet.
I redraw all drawings of the character sheet because I don't like the drawing.
Here I redrew Caedus with their camp outfit. Caedus wears clothes we don't see their big body scars, Caedus doesn't like these scars and they don't to show the scars.
Caedus loves to wear jewels, here they're wearing two necklaces. One is the Periapt of Wound Closure amulets, I love so much the deesign of the amulets and Caedus during their adventure wears this amulets.
Often Necklaces can hide their body scars when the shirt is little opened.
And one more left drawing for the character sheet!!
Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely
(a mini-fic for bg3 pride month day 19: "turquoise - magic & art")
again, this is very late... but it's the last of the 8 fics + matching VP i planned to post for the rainbow flag days, which means they're finally all done, yay!
it's 1k words and can be read below the cut. or on ao3 here if you'd like to leave a kudos or comment, which i always really appreciate! and as usual ty to @worfs-glorious-hair for hosting this event.
this one has a flashback scene, like "beneath the blue" did—only, to act 2 of the game's story instead of act 1. so i originally wanted to do 2 VP shots but it wasn't working out, and to be completely honest my brain wasn't working well enough for it. so i just made one shot that kinda matches the vibe of the ending, haha.

(if anyone ever wants to be on or off that list, just let me know!)
Behind the old sailor’s lute, a miniature turquoise sea rolled beneath reflected stars.
It was beautiful. It was also wrong.
Elenion stood in what would soon become the Starlit Gallery’s music hall, watching the illusion Gale had woven through the display case. The rest of the Gallery was nearly ready for its preview gala, lit by enchanted lanterns and scattered with waiting relics.
Yet tonight, the sea refused to behave.
He played the opening chords again.
The little waves rose and fell with the music. They caught the starlight exactly as intended, shimmered exactly as planned, and somehow still felt nothing like the sea.
Gale frowned thoughtfully. "The spell is responding exactly as designed."
"I know."
"Then what is it doing incorrectly?"
Elenion looked at the waves for a moment. "Nothing I can explain."
Gale studied the illusion. "One more time, perhaps?"
"You say that as if I haven’t played it six times already," Elenion said, huffing a quiet laugh.
"Seven may yet prove revelatory."
"It had better."
They tried again.
By the third attempt, Elenion had stopped listening for the sea entirely. His fingers wandered from the arrangement, finding quieter notes until the melody slipped into something older than the song he had chosen for the exhibit.
The little sea trembled.
One wave broke out of time with the others, rolling slowly across the surface.
Elenion went still.
The ripple widened, carrying starlight across the turquoise surface exactly as another impossible little sea had once done, in a land where no stars should have shone at all.
Back then, the darkness of the shadow curse pressed close around the camp.
Elenion had woken curled on their side beneath borrowed blankets, with Gale’s breathing soft and even at their back. For the past four nights—ever since Gale had walked in on one of Elenion's nightmares—they'd been sharing a tent with the careful politeness of two people pretending there was nothing dangerous about waking in each other's arms.
They slipped out carefully, not wanting to wake him. Nothing was wrong, exactly. No nightmare had dragged them awake. No phantom smoke clung to their throat. It was strangely, almost irritatingly easy to rest beside Gale.
Still, sleep wouldn't come back.
They had barely settled outside with their lute before footsteps rustled through the dead leaves behind them.
"Len?"
They looked over their shoulder.
Gale stood a few paces away, hair hopelessly tousled from sleep. His shoulders relaxed almost immediately when he saw them sitting quietly instead of doubled over from a nightmare.
"Sorry," Elenion said. "I didn't mean to wake you."
Gale smiled faintly as he came to sit beside them. "You didn't. I merely noticed your side of the bed had become... conspicuously unoccupied."
Elenion huffed a quiet laugh, brushing their fingers lightly over the lute strings. "You make it sound terribly scandalous."
“I was wondering where you’d gone,” Gale said, his voice softening.
He glanced at their lute. “Couldn’t sleep?”
Elenion looked up at the sky he couldn't see. "Gods, I miss the stars."
The words slipped out before he could stop them. Ridiculous—of course Gale already knew that.
Gale followed his gaze. For a moment, he said nothing.
Elenion moved his fingers without thinking, letting a few soft notes drift into the silence.
"I miss Waterdeep," Gale said quietly. "The sea. The stars over the harbor."
He smiled just a little. "The way the moonlight catches on the water at night. You can see it perfectly from my tower when the sky is clear."
Elenion's fingers tightened on the strings. He could almost picture it: the harbor lit in silver, the sky reflected in the water. Gale standing on the balcony he'd told him about, watching like it truly meant something to him.
"Yeah," he said at last. "I miss it too."
He paused.
"The sea, I mean."
Gale’s gaze lingered briefly on Elenion's lute with its celestial markings, then lifted toward the darkness again.
"Well," he murmured, lifting one hand. "We can hardly allow that to stand unchallenged, can we?"
Suddenly, turquoise light spilled across the ground, pushing back the darkness.
The illusion deepened into water shimmering at their feet, thin as glass and bright as memory. Above it, a clear night sky opened in miniature, its stars twinkling softly across the surface below.
Elenion's throat tightened.
For a moment, the darkness fell away.
The air felt lighter above the fragile glow of water and stars, the silence no longer endless.
It wasn't really the sea, of course. But that didn't matter now.
His fingers brushed the strings, and a single note slipped into the air, quiet as a whisper.
The surface of the water stirred slightly, as though something beneath it had turned to listen.
He blinked.
He played again.
This time the stars broke apart, scattering across the surface before slowly gathering into patterns he hadn't meant to make.
He hadn't done that. Not alone, at least.
He looked at Gale, and saw his hand move to adjust the spell—not to correct it, but to follow. His fingers were steady and sure.
Elenion's breath caught.
It felt as if neither of them was controlling the spell. They were answering each other.
The light softened Gale's expression, turning the sharp focus in his eyes gentler.
"I don't believe," he said softly, "that it was meant to do that."
There was something like quiet fascination in his voice.
I need to remember this, Elenion thought.
Not just the illusion.
Gale, beside him, like this.
The memory faded away, leaving the music hall quiet around them.
Behind the glass, the sea moved as it had before—perfect, controlled, unchanging.
Wrong.
Elenion almost laughed as they lifted their hand to the strings.
"Gale."
"Yes, my love?"
"…Don't try to fix it this time."
There was a pause.
"Of course," Gale said, warm and certain.
Elenion exhaled slowly and played again. The melody slipped almost immediately, falling out of the careful shape they had been forcing it into.
For a heartbeat, nothing happened.
Then the illusion shifted. The stars broke apart, scattering unevenly across the surface.
Gale’s hand moved, adjusting the weave of the spell—not to correct it.
To follow.
So, this fic references an exhibit in Elenion's museum that's shown in chapter 5 of "Held in Orbit". And more importantly, the flashback references the events of "(to the moon) the stars pleaded: stay"—which is where Gale walks in on Len having a nightmare, offers to stay with him and sleep beside him for comfort, and then these two idiots just keep doing that while pretending it's completely platonic.
And in the present day, they're engaged but not yet married... which makes this the only one of my pride month fics where that's the case, lol. I originally wanted all the pride month fics to show a different piece of their married life, but for this one, I felt like I should set it a little earlier even if it messed with the timeline!
I hope it was enjoyable enough to read. I had fun with my pride month fics but am also glad to finally be done with them... halfway through July, whoops!
i accidentally realized today that i am way more behind on checking my notifs and reading all the cool posts i've been tagged in than i thought, because i did kind of think i was doing better at staying caught up again. whoops.
will probably need to play catch-up again over the next couple days. cannot say for sure what i have planned next or what i even want to do next in terms of fandom stuff. i mean, i still haven't played deltarune chapter 5 and i kinda wanna do that soon lol. but as for bg3. idk. everything has been way too much for way too long this year and i keep getting thrown off. but i'm at least happy with what i managed to do for pride month, even if it took longer than planned!
and i think all the things that have been majorly stressing me out for so long are finally settling down, so that should help. for some positive irl news i haven't really shared yet: i actually have another cat! 💙
technically he was here before daisy died. he was a stray who was hanging out on our porch, but we knew from experience that daisy couldn't handle having another cat in the house so we were thinking of trying to find someone to adopt him. but now we've decided to just let him inside and keep him.
...since we weren't originally supposed to keep him, we had just been calling him "the other cat". which is why my dad insisted on naming him toc for short.
This is the very last thing I still had for pride month! I made these kinda randomly the other day without any specific theme in mind... they could fit bi day, but I already did something for that, so I just figured I'd post them for the final day.
There were a few more days I thought I might still do out of the prompts, but I didn't manage to for various reasons and I think now that it's mid-July my brain is just checked out. I'm still happy with what I did, though! Overall I ended up making VP sets for 12 of the days, almost always with 2-4 photos, and for 8 of those days i also wrote a mini fic. That's a lot for someone who's usually bad at participating in fandom events. I didn't expect it to take me until halfway through July but it is what it is, and I had fun! Starweave celebrating with their flags (Gale's being the bi flag, and Len's being both the bi and trans flags) feels like a fitting way to end things. 💙💜 And of course, tysm to @worfs-glorious-hair for hosting the event.
Thank you so much to @c-e-p5315 for the tag! This is honestly the perfect tag game for me.
Tag: if your OC was a Disney character, who would they be? Doesn’t matter the franchise (Marvel, Star Wars, etc it’s all fair game) or if it’s a main or side character!
Jessica as Ariel
Constantly curious, slightly reckless, longs to be part of a different world, LOVES a good trinket, and a hopeless romantic? Yeah, that's Jessica.
"Why, Gale, run away with you? This is all so…so sudden."
I can totally see Jessica as Ariel, fins deep in random trinkets and making heart eyes at the dashing wizard prince of Waterdeep...
A Little Mermaid AU may be on my WIP list for a series of fairytale ficlets...
Here are some no pressure/low pressure tags for @carnivaley @gortashsrighthand @toomanyfamiliars @saylofwaterdeep @faeriiefire @riddlerosehearts @theendofanerror @asorceresswrites @dr4gonwriter @cinder-rellish181 @dynamicducks @deianestormborn and an open tag for anyone else who would like to play along!
i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.
on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.
someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please

Here's my VP for day 19 of BG3 pride month! As usual, these were made to go with the fic I wrote for the prompt, but I wanted to have the VP in its own post as well, and I also wanted to add a closeup! Ty to @worfs-glorious-hair for hosting the event.
Might not seem obvious what this has to do with the theme, but hey, Gale is a wizard and Elenion is a bard—they already are magic and art!
...Also, tbh, my brain is totally checked out on pride month stuff by now. I was already having trouble with my VP for the day 15 fic, and then for this one I originally wanted to do two photos because the fic takes place partly in the Shadow-Cursed Lands and partly in the present day, but I just... did not have the energy to do it. This shot doesn't even fully match what happens in the fic, but idk, I liked it enough to use it anyway.
The very pretty dividers in this post are by @uzmacchiato. And the pose is from this lovely pack by Maryposes that works with several different body type combos!
