Recently listened to the Dark Elf trilogy from the Legend of Drizzt series so I was inspired to doodle my drow Felyndiira during her noble days in the Underdark, before she abandoned her family. Also featuring her matron mother (top right) and papa (top left)

Traditional lolthite priestess garb based off of ancient minoan clothing.

Inspired by @gloura post about drow nudity!

something I nEEED more people to do is explore Drow culture specifically where it intersects with transness

the arguably most iconic part of Drow culture is that it's a matriarchal society, with gender roles essentially flipped from most in real life, with women being seen as superior to men

in that cultural context, a transmasculine Drow would likely seem nonsensical to most, 'why transition and lose all your feminine privilege in the process?'

and a transfeminine Drow would be seen as more sensible but likely as a 'vain attempt at gaining privilege'

exploring this idea would be so very compelling, as for one, the opposite nature recontextualizes and holds up a mirror to the arbitrary nature of binary gender roles, social privilege and influence, and sexism, and further emphasizes that transitioning truly is not about privilege, but personal fulfillment, comfort, desire, and expression

and I'm not even getting into all of the fascinating storytelling that could be done with intersex, nonbinary, gender fluid, bigender, etc. Drow!!!

anyway dnd players pls make trans and/or intersex Drow I beg 💔
