"Have you come to feed on me tonight, Astarion?" "Maybe. It never occurred to me that you'd look so delectable under the moonlight." "Uh..thanks?"

Astarion flirting with Pascal can be troublesome. Usually, it's the drow who sees others as a meal rather than the other way around. Perhaps it's one of the many reasons why the drow became infatuated with the spawn during the early days of their journey. Sure, Astarion is pretty, but seeing those fangs covered in blood is such a turn-on.

Based on a screencap I took a good while back. It was mostly an experiment with environments, poses, lighting, and digital painting. I got a little carried away with Pascal's abs, as the man wouldn't be that ripped.

It's their first time lol.

Astarion and my Dark Urge, Pascal

"You cannot speak, but you have command over your own cruelty"

Pascal's Slayer form. He is certainly very graceful with his pale mane. His second pair of hands are from his wings, morphing into digits with ripped wing membrane. It would be amusing for Pascal to try to flap his second pair of arms while failing attempting to fly and not realizing he can do a 10 ft vertical leap with ease.

Cranked the Bloodborne & Elden Ring OTS while designing this form for my Durge. It adds a whole lot of flavor when I'm making monstrous designs.

"When the dark urge calls...

You will answer, dear master."

"Stay with me... I want to watch the sunrise one last time with you."

A tender and solemn moment with Astarion and Pascal. Mourning for the beauty of the sunlight and its warmth, Astarion urged Pascal to share this side of himself that's been locked deep inside his damaged mind. I figured these two would do something like this right before taking down the netherbrain, rejecting DarkUrge/Bhaal, Astarion not ascending, "save the world", and rid themselves of the tadpoles for good.

Course, this is them rejecting SOME of their "evil" choices.

"When a devil cries, are the tears an illusion?

A devil with broken memories lost in a void. Sore hands that are painted by blood and gore. The aroma of rot whispers with each word.

A creature of pure brutality.

But, the devil knows that a sliver of humility is in its soul."

Sad baby boy hours! yay!

My Astarion run is crazy LOL. An AU where Astarion is the sole leader of this strange little campaign. The vampire would consume tadpoles at any opportunity and succumb to the psychic powers. None of his allies are thrilled about it, nor are they thrilled by how much he lies. It's an enjoyable run, and trying to think as Astarion with choices is a fun experience. Pascal wouldn't be a Bhaalspawn in this AU, but a violent devil born in the hells. I'd like to think the Emperor took the form of Pascal because said fiend has been prying on Astarion when he entered Avernus via the Natulus ship. Or maybe he thinks the fiend looks hot af.

Pascal wouldn't be down with having a squid taking on his image.
