Ship Tournament, Round 1 — Match 12 / 30

Lae'zel/Minthara

"On one hand, they could absolutely make each other worse. Nobody in this ship is saying “maybe we should be less intense about this.” They would escalate any argument into a war council within five minutes. But also, I think they’d be able to see through each other’s conditioning in a way that’s surprisingly useful. Minthara would recognise the shape of religious control around Lae’zel, even if she explains it in the most blunt and drow way possible. Lae’zel would recognise Minthara’s survival instincts as discipline rather than just cruelty. They’d probably insult each other while helping each other unpack lifelong indoctrination. romance!!!"

vs. Gale/Shadowheart

"In the brothel Shadowheart can be "worshipped" by the drow sex workers and she seems quite into it. A guy that used to actually date a goddess? Yeah, Gale's gonna be ready for that. On a less silly note, they've got that shared trauma of possibly having a crisis of faith during the game, and they can relate to each other on that. As a cleric, there's opportunities for Shadowheart to try to help Gale with his oopsies dark magic poisoning. Or they can make each other worse, with Gale's God complex and SH's conditioning to follow a religious leader blindly. OR a Selunite SH might have to fight a formerly-romanced Gale if he becomes a God and fucks around too much! So many opportunities for fluff or angst! And maybe I just think Gale getting lovingly dommed by a goth GF could fix him, ok."

Which ship do you prefer?

I'll make sure to post the final pictures but was excited to share my current project as I work away on some smaller and larger things :)

I am a Galeheart lover, and so of course I had to make a tapestry piece for them. I wanted to play around with the imagery of Gale's orb/its reaching strands and the dark maw of Shar's symbol. In that darkness comes Selune's symbols. I love how this came out, the colors are so lovely together and I feel like it comes together in a really pretty way. Definitely abstract though haha!

Hope you like it, and I'll be sure to share the photos once this is dried and hung up!

People not shipping galeheart is a crime. Let’s stop pretending like Gale isn't the nerdy guy who would hardcore crush on the pretty goth girl. Let’s be so honest with ourselves. And you know his sweet dorkiness would make her melt.
