Unapologetic Gortash Redeemer

Thanks for tagging me (sorry if I forgot someone!) @perpetualmaladaptivedaydream @cinder-rellish181 aaaaaand...@optimisticgrey (if you saw me post anything...NO, YOU DIDN'T! ;))

What’s an idea, dynamic, or trope in your current work that feels naughty or self-indulgent? (Spicy answers 100% encouraged)

The most suggestive and naughtiest things about Suna have sadly not been posted nor shared yet, because I’m still working hard to figure out a few more things about her past, while the things I’ve shared until now are mostly angst-centered (self-indulgence at maximum levels there).

Yes, I must confess I’m first of all a huge angst enthusiast and I tend to lean towards hurt/comfort, star-crossed lovers, nightmare comfort, anguished declarations of love, unrequited love, amnesia, tragic soulmates and major trauma A WHOLE LOT, but angst leading to smut (and, in general, emotional distress leading to intense romantic/sexual tension) is one of my favorite tropes ever, and my future plans for my OC contemplate tons of that (especially the short thing I’m working on right now about Suna and Orin and their toxic sisters/relatives dynamic, where I also want to explore the path that led to Suna’s fall as a Bhaalspawn. Spoiler: it has A LOT to do with Gort, obviously).

And what about the naughty side, you might ask? Well, first of all there are a few mentions of breath play in the most recent things I wrote/shared. It’s not exactly a self-indulgent detail, but in my OC headcanons, Suna enjoys that kind of things, and she enjoys it A LOT (Suna and her tyrant loved to indulge in choking each other in bed quite often before her tadpoling, and if there’s a thing Orin’s lobotomy has not been fully able to erase from her naughty brain is exactly that, even if her post-tadpole version prefers something milder. Gale’s influence, I suppose…). Anyway, from my OC’s point of view such obsession is not just a mere kink, but also something that has a lot to do with trust, one of the feelings Suna struggles with the most.

Last but not least, I’m kinda obsessed with the whole Suna-Gort-Gale dynamic. In my intentions there’s never been the idea of making this a three-way thing, but since most of my OC's past trauma is processed through her dreams/nightmares (at least in my longer fic), I thought it might be nice to at least hint at some kind of strange overlap between her two lovers often happening when she’s, emotionally speaking, at her weakest.

Is your OC a virgin, blushing maiden, or sexual fiend? Or aro/ace? Or something in between?

Bhaalspawn Suna is more on the fiend side, definitely not an aro/ace, and certainly NOT a virgin nor a blushing maiden. She’s under the greatest pressure because of her role, and Bhaal’s oppressive presence weighs heavily on her shoulders, so sex becomes her first and often only source or recreation and favorite pastime. She collects lovers like a philatelist collects stamps and tends to view them more as trophies or objects than people. Most of the time she likes to pick the ones she wants to spend time with among acolytes, and after the deed is done, she gets rid of them and offers them to Father, before moving on to the next conquest (though she sometimes collects relics of them, if they have been especially remarkable). She NEVER sees them as her equals (Gort will be her first and ONLY exception while she’s still under Bhaal’s influence) and mostly uses her lovers to validate her ego.

Post-tadpole/amnesiac Suna is something else entirely, instead. With most of her memories gone, also a lot of her previous traits vanish (but her experience does not, obviously :D). The main difference is that instead of trying to avoid real emotional intimacy, she slowly learns how to embrace it, and emotional connections become her main focus before starting any kind of intimate relationship. Depending on how her story develops (in canon she settles down in Waterdeep with Gale, while in fic things are going to be much more complicated because of Gort’s huge involvement), there might be a few little differences, but her most peculiar traits will never change: she might be a little more “tamer” than her previous Bhaalspawn self, but she’s never going to be a “vanilla” kind of woman, she won’t stop being an enthusiastic and dedicated sex enjoyer who loves to experiment and to explore new things, and her propension for marking her lovers (love bites, mostly) here and there will probably never change (and that will probably earn her a “stop biting the damn thing” line from Gale more than a few times in canon, while in fics Gort will probably end up sporting more than a few bruises and teeth marks in public nearly every day, obviously with very ill-concealed pride).

What’s your OC’s “I shouldn’t be this turned on by this” trigger?

Once again, it mostly depends on which version on Suna you pick: Bhaalspawn Suna is obviously turned on by anything involving blood and gore mostly, but the girl has also a huge authority kink going on, and despite struggling under Bhaal’s influence she cannot resist people in power and authority figures in general. She kinda hates them, but at the same time she’s deeply fascinated by them (and maybe she secretly wants only to get close enough to earn their trust, then get rid of them and take their place). Okay, the girl has a huge problem with authority in general, and maybe she could use a good therapist.

Also, for some reason she can’t resist the allure of hairy chests (no further explanations needed here) and masked men (so you can imagine her reaction when she sees Gort wearing his banite mask, hehe).

Once free from Bhaal’s influence though, her turn-ons also change: composure, self-mastery and competence become the things she values the most.

What is your OC’s hard NO?

Anything non-con is out of question, plus any kind of bathroom-related kink is a huge NO for her.

What is the most debauched VP/Art you have ever created?

I made a few nsfw drawings (traditional art only) a few years ago for different fandoms (SW and SWTOR) and shared most of them on a Discord server. Those pics are probably still out there somewhere, but it’s been years since I last saw them going around. I rarely do VP and I would never dare to call my pics (with PS5 photo mode) “artistic VP” honestly, but I have some talented moots who can do miracles at VP, and gifted me with some nice and sexy pics of my OC making out with Gort/Gale. God bless my moots!

What is the wildest NSFW smut you have ever thought up? Did you write it?

This might surprise a few people, but in the beginning (and in a couple of totally different fandoms) I used to write exclusively smut/wild NSFW things for friends, and most of them were short things about canon characters x OC or x self-inserts. I had a lot of fun with them, at least until I discovered the wondrous world of angst and that became my main focus, but back then, most of my fandom activity was heavily centered around kinky content of any sort (basically anything, except probably wax play, watersports and bathroom kinks) and I loved writing tons of very-much-self-indulgent bullshit (even if the characters usually had the emotional depth of a brick 😆). Feeling a lil nostalgic rn…

Do you have any crazy projects for the future?

Not sure if any of my future plans/projects might be considered “crazy”, but I DO indeed have plans, and a bunch of ideas about my OC I’d love to explore in the foreseeable future (mostly through one-shots or tiny things of no more than two chapters, because longer fics can be really exhausting sometimes). Writing angst is something I enjoy maybe a little too much, so most of those things will be heavily angst-oriented, but I’m not a monster who only enjoys torturing blorbos, so I’m also planning a few “lighter” things involving my OC and her backstory. And yes, more than one of those things might end up including a nice amount of smut (as a treat :3).

QSAT was being a lil bitch with me and I was possessed by a dark Gortavia brainworm and Cassandra on a little honeypot mission.

"I do know how to disturb peace very well," he laughed as he drank from his cup and she mirrored the movement, keeping her eyes on her as the cup pushed against her lips. The red wine would stain her lips and coated her tongue in its aroma. "You do strike me as the type." It made him laugh, a rumbling one that came up from down inside of his lungs. It was not too hard to imagine how someone else would be charmed by him, she could see it. It was a shame for him that she was not that kind of person, he was the prey in the situation and she was the predator. "Name is Rugan, can I get yours?" "Cassandra."

It's Sunday, and somehow also mid-July? What the fuck? Thank you @saylofwaterdeep and @defira85 for the recent WIP tags!

I have a few different things I'm working on right now, because Gortash week is almost upon us (again, what the fuck? Where did the time go?). I haven't decided yet if I will snippets for those pieces in advance, so in the meantime, here's a little bit of Heaven, Chapter 9.

“Sit on the table, if you please.” This room had none of the luxury of the other, only clean, quiet efficiency. A plain, wooden table took up most of the space, even pressed against the wall as it was, and several narrow shelves held books, scrolls, vials, and bottles of all sizes. Herbs hung from a drying rack next to a narrow window of clouded glass. Balsam, Ta’av noted, and belladonna. She threw herself onto the table with a grunt. Every move hurt, but at least the world didn’t sway quite as much when she was off her feet. “I can heal,” she managed to say. Her thoughts felt heavy. “I can cast—” “Shhh.” The woman guided her to lie back, and then she was plucking something off a shelf. “I will cast a spell in a moment. Best to remove the bolts and clean the wounds first.” She paused and glanced down with a cheeky smile. “Unless you want to have a scar.” “A scar?” Ta’av repeated vacantly. She was staring at the woman’s freckles. “I—um—no, thank you.” She wasn’t sure if she could scar. She rarely seemed to, before, even though she saw flashes of her body being cut into over and over again. Her divine blood seemed to knit her skin back together cleanly, but it hadn’t been enough to heal her brain, and that blood wasn’t hers anymore.

I was tagged by @nadas-dirthalen and @defira85 (I can't see/interact with your post as its marked mature and I haven't done age-verification, but I'm sure the answers are bangers!) - thank you both! I'll try not to make my answers too boring lol 😌

Going to yap about Calleigh, Rosslyn and Nora!

What’s an idea, dynamic, or trope in your current work that feels naughty or self-indulgent? (Spicy answers 100% encouraged.)

Hmm, I don't know if I have good answers for this first one, spicy or otherwise! But anyway:

Calleigh - Uh...I...gave her my own birthday? Solace/Solis (July) 29th. Also, I remember being told a while back about something Davrin says (perhaps as part of his romance dialogue?) about how Wardens have greatly increased appetites thanks to the taint - hungrier and hornier. So I guess I always bear that in mind when thinking about/writing her 🙂‍↕️ Oh, and that she is a service top.

Rosslyn - Trope-wise, just...yearning/pining. Lots of yearning for the worldly, pretty bard. All the little touches between her and Leliana, and how everything feels heightened.

Nora - I don't have any current work for her, but I always like thinking about how cagey she is, all the secrets she's hiding, and how that colours her outlook/interactions/behaviour - especially with Jae.

🔞NSFW - shameless smut ahead🔞

Lunging forward, Ellith could smell the scent of the Duergar’s blood on his skin, mingling with the remaining dust and ashes. The Drow made no move either to reject them or welcome them, but the lustful spark in his eyes was more than enough. Ellith straddled his lap.

ty for the tag @fireflyeyes! I've covered the origins of her title a few times, but her name itself not so much. I did a small delve into Tavrin's etymology a while back [here] but I'm excited to expand on it!

Tavrin

Birth-Given Name

Tavrin's birth-given name is lost to memory. Not due to amnesia, but to time. She hasn't used nor heard it since she was about 11 years old. At 109, even before her memory loss, she does not remember the name she was born into.

Created from Bhaal's dead flesh and swapped out for a drow newborn in the slums of Menzoberranzan in a household that only pretended to worship Llolth for self-preservation. Tavrin's "family" didn't care for her much at all, particularly because they always knew something was off. Though her home life was not offensively toxic or abusive, she was neglected more than just her family not having the proper means to care for her.

That's a whole backstory thing [further details here]. But in true drow fashion, the name they'd given that child did not have much thought behind it. Especially since she was a third child. Her name was randomly selected, just as her siblings' were.

I have never actually decided on what that name was, since it's inconsequential. But for funsies, I will now (and because @faeriiefire inspired me to <3). I put all the prefixes and suffixes from the [drow naming table] into a randomizer, hit random, and for authenticity took my first combo no matter what it was lol. And so, Tavrin's birth-given name was:

Iraeylene Kilzynge

Meanings:

Irae- | arcane, mystic, wizard (LOLOLOL)

-ylene | handmaiden, squire, maiden, youth (*snorts*)

Kil- | people of

-zynge | the ruins

(i did very mild manipulation of the last name since her parents didn't choose that and it didn't make sense for their last name to imply they were noble or Llolthsworn, since they were neither)

And of course, here is her name written in drowic <3

Bhaal-Given Name

After murdering her family with the first strike of the Urge, she Iraeylene hears the voice of Sceleritas Fel for the first time. Though he does not tell her of her true heritage until she is in her 30s, he does tell her she is born for a greater purpose, and that she has a true name from her true father: Tavrin. No surname.

And while this isn't a real name with real, clear etymology, I did some delving into similar pieces to come up with what it means. It actually lined up surprisingly well considering I did this well after the fact lol.

There's no clear origin or single meaning for the full name or its components. The origins go everywhere from Kurdish to Old Norse and mean anything from a Mountain Flower to Leader.

I think my favorite tidbits I found were that "Tav" can mean something like "mark/sign" in Hebrew or "magic/witchcraft" in Old Norse.

Gustav, which is the name of the CEO's dog, is what "Tav" was derived from. Gustav means "Staff of the Gods".

Meanwhile the suffix "-rin" in old English/Celtic is used as an affectionate diminutive, like a smaller/beloved element of something greater.

Which is all pretty Bhaalspawn coded, if you ask me.

Given that the etymology is complicated and Faerun uses entirely different languages anyway, I know there's lots of room for interpretation or forgoing it altogether, but I kinda like the implication I found. So, I'm going to say that in my interpretation, her name means:

Tavrin - Marked One; Divine Descendent

What it means to me?

In my first run ever, as she was my first Tav, I had named her Nasrin just cos I liked the name. It wasn't til after the fact that I realized "Tav" was the default name and not a randomly generated one like in WoW lol. So when I remade her into a Dark Urge, I combined the names into Tavrin. And I just really like the name <3

Thank you so much @the-red-drow for the tag 🖤Your VP for this game is phenomenal!

This one is purely self indulgent and can steer into NSFW territory depending on where you go with it. Did your TavDurge make the ...'deal' with Haarlep? (on a meta level, I'm not sure I ever could say no to it, making fun of Raphael is always appreciated). And even if they didn't - think about it for a moment and, just like them looking just slightly different to Raphael, design Haarlep using your OCs form. Put them side by side with your blorbo to show the minuscule differences. Have fun, go wild.

Ellith shamelessly played Haarlep's game and gladly accepted the deal. What the incubus didn't know, was that Ellith had already delt with such creatures before and got some of their powers from a former deal a succubus.

(I made them hook up in a library again, didn’t I? Damn it.)

What’s an idea, dynamic, or trope in your current work that feels naughty or self-indulgent? (Spicy answers 100% encouraged.)

The most self-indulgent thing about Ellie’s story is that it’s a happy ending (stop it 🤭 you know what I mean). Naughty/Spicy? Not much. It has its sex scenes, which I haven’t even got to yet, but overall I went in wanting to look at her story from an emotional standpoint (I know, what a fucking nerd). Oh! I take that back…I did write this WIP for funsies once. I should really try to follow up with that. 🤔

Is your OC a virgin, blushing maiden, or sexual fiend? or aro/ace? or something in between?

Ellie isn’t virginal, and she has filled her needs just fine pre-tadpole, but I kept her rather tame mostly because of how closed-off she is. She sleeps with Rugan when he’s in town, but she forces the disconnect because she doesn’t know how to give or take romantic (or, well, any) affection. It’s not until she’s forced into the tadpole family does she realize what’s missing. And I think she becomes a bit more adventurous with Gale since the trust is there, though how much? That has yet to be determined.

What’s your OC’s “I shouldn’t be turned on by this” trigger?

Angry Gale, or at the very least Frustrated Gale. She’ll call him out on his bullshit every time…even if it’s just to see the slight tick in his jaw. Every hill’s a hill to die on when it comes to getting under his skin.

What’s your OC’s hard NO?

Probably anything involving ropes/being tied up? I don’t know, I kind of picture her panicking in a situation like that where she relinquishes control. Though, I have considered a mage hand idea once or twice, but I feel like that’s not quite the same?

What is the most debauched VP/Art you have ever created?

Debauched? I mean, nothing really insane. The Levitation Sex post (click the link; I’m scared to post it twice lol) was the craziest I’ve posted, I think? I did make a threesome with Gale and Astarion once for a irl friend, lol, and only one other person here has ever seen it 😂 we don’t talk about the threesome (unless you ask nicely I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️)

What is the wildest NSFW smut you have ever thought up? Did you write it?

Wildest? I’m pretty vanilla compared to things I’ve seen and read before LOL The magic sex was pretty up there, honestly. And actually, that’s all Aoife, too. 😂 They’re magic sex is definitely something I want to work in for her eventually 😏

Do you have any crazy projects for the future?

See above. Some mage hand, simulacrum, magic…stuff…I didn’t get very far in the planning, okay?
