Unapologetic Gortash Redeemer

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

Thank you @deianestormborn & @rdekarios for the tags! 😘💜

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?

Thank you sm @bhaal-battle-beer-bard for tagging me, I had a lot of fun with it.

tag game: Create a VP of your Tav as the main character or your fave character from your favourite TV SERIES — within the limits of photo mode, of course. Make a whole entourage of the cast if you like.Tag your friends, have fun, tag me as the OG creator, and link to the original post here!

Well, the more I was thinking about it, the more I realised how my fav characters influenced me for Ellith, who happens to be a mix between three series characters that you wouldn't imagine cohabitating (or maybe you can, idk.)

(Of course there are also other influences, but those three ones are quite obvious now that I think about it).

I mean, you tell me, but I believe Ellith is a combination of those three.

CW: substance abuse, alcohol.

Ellith as Bojack (Bojack Horseman)

Vain, arrogant, cynical, a creeping alcoholic difficult to love, in complete denial and with a succession of terrible life choices?

YES.

Also, a selfish bastard who tries to hide their existential dread through substance abuse and meaningless sex and parties?

Double yes.

Bonus: Daddy issues.

Ellith as Samantha Jones (Sex & the City)

Do I really need to explain it?

Sam Jones was such an inspiration when I was growing up and she's still glorious af and freaking powerful. I love that energy and I think it appears in El (or so I hope).

Ellith as Crowley (Good Omens)

It's not just the hair and the eyes or the gait; it's also the cynicism, the recklessness, the mischievous bastard who's kind of a good guy underneath it all.

Also, they both complain a lot and are quick to anger. And they're both pretty cool and stylish. If Ellith was a devil, they'd be a Crowley.

[PS: Fuck Neil Gaiman]

And that's it! I hope it makes sense and that you could recognise El in those characters ahaha, even if, I reckon, it's quite a weird cocktail 😅

It was fun though, and quite enlightening in terms of unconscious inspirations 🤭

Alright, it probably sucks but my skills (and patience) for graphic design are little or non-existent at all, and most of my recent screentime has been devoted to editing (which is currently kicking my booty spectacularly, but I will never give up, because I have far too many ideas cooking 😤).

Yeah, this could have been much better, I KNOW!

But do I really want to increase my daily amount of screentime to improve? Absolutely not. It's summer and I deserve all the rest I can get. I'll make peace with it, I suppose :3

I went with post-canon Tavrin since she changes so much from original to current xD and I needed some sort of baseline haha

Thank you to my bbys @fireflyeyes and @cinder-rellish181 ! <3 This was super chill to do and I needed the catharsis lol

Template can be found HERE (I used the transparent one and used photopea to make it purty)

Thank you @cursed-nyxan and @optimisticgrey for the WIP tags 🖤

Still working on this... it's getting hotter in this forge, isn't it? 🔥😏

“Shouldn’t you be on your way to deliver my message to Moonrise, True Soul?” “Shouldn’t you be cleaning that mess and follow that trail to the temple, as the general’s orders commanded?” Nere was lounging on a few cushions, drinking an old vintage. There was no Duergar in sight. “Hm. You have some guts for a new recruit of the Absolute.” He smirked, and there was something utterly dangerous in the way he was scrutinizing the bard. “I can appreciate that trait, if it’s well- targeted.” “And I would appreciate a drink, if that’s all the same to you.” Ellith smirked back, stepping closer and watching him expectantly. The drow snapped his fingers but stopped mid-motion. “Ah, yes… no more slave to serve me.” “They’ll be more useful out of this tomb.” Without waiting for Nere’s invitation, the bard picked up a glass and poured themself some wine. The drow’s eyes followed their every movements. “I would hope so. I cannot allow any more disappointment.” Ellith scanned the man, tall for a drow: He was clean now, dirt and ashes gone from his dark skin, and he had discarded his cultist robe and cloak to replace it with a loose shirt. His stance was that of authority and pride, and there was, in the way he held his chin high, an undeniable desire to prove himself in control of the place. Something called in the bard’s guts, the urge to break him, to step on his pride and rob him of his so-called authority. They wanted him whimpering and powerless under their thumb… between their thighs. Had they already done such a thing before, breaking a man of authority and relishing in his pathetic moans? Why did it feel like that was their favourite thing to do to such men, those who thought themselves above them. A delicious shiver of anticipation ran up their spine. “Where is Sergeant Thrinn?” Ellith asked, scanning the surroundings. “I haven’t met her on my way here.” “Hm?” Nere arched an eyebrow. “Two other duergar corpses were found by the elevator. Poisoned. I suppose one of those ridiculous gnomes is behind it. Thrinn is taking care of it.” Ellith repressed a chuckle. The Drow didn’t need to suspect who had actually poisoned those drunkards. “Good for her.” The bard nodded. “I’ve heard you retrieved her boots, half-blood.” His scornful label barely hit the bard, and with a smile, they sat down next to him, waiting not for an invitation. The Drow gauged them but said nothing. His eyes lingered on their naked legs, as expected. “I had no use for dirty boots… and they were too small for me anyway”. The careless statement reached its target: Nere chuckled, and peeked at the bard’s feet, tucked in high leather boots. “And just so you know, Nere, I’m not taking mine off.” They smirked, rubbing their knees together in the most lascivious way.

Thank you for the tag @deianestormborn!! I sent myself into a meditative state while putting all of these dots on the page, I loved it :3

VP by the phenomenal @optimisticgrey <3<3<3

Sorry this took me so long, but summer weather is taking a toll on my energy levels, ugh

Basics

Name: Suna Ilahe Amryn (her surname, Arquelyn, belongs to her adoptive parents, a couple of half-elves named Thalan and Eala. She never uses it in-game, preferring to go by name only. Her first name is the only one she still remembers (but Gort, luckily for her, has good memory 😏).

Aliases: The Dark Urge, Durge, little spark (Gale), dancing flame (Gort), eyes of gold (among Amnians)

Race: tiefling

Background: haunted one

Gender: female

Sexuality: pansexual, demiromantic

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Other

Family: Bhaal (father/creator). Orin the Red, Sarevok Anchev (relatives). She ignores if she ever had a real mother or not, and whether Father simply created her from His blood and gore, or if an unnamed tiefling woman, possessed by Him, was used as a tool to sire her, and later killed.

Her foster parents were a couple of half-elves, Thalan and Eala Arquelyn, whom she slaughtered during her first ever killing spree.

(I’m still busy writing about her life, both before and after game, so no spoilers here, but Gale becomes her family after the game events, at least canonically, while her fic ending is going to be much different). She will never get to meet her (and Gort’s) daughter, Jessamine, because Orin offers her unborn child to Bhaal right before lobotomizing her but, at least in fics, she's going to have a son, Erkan (born far from Baldur’s Gate, somewhere near Murann, Amn’s second-largest city and seaport).

Birthplace: Baldur’s Gate

Job: assassin/serial killer (her main occupation as a Bhaalspawn), high-primistress of Bhaal, surgeon. Later adventurer, then healer, potion master and alchemist (she will join Amn’s largest alchemists’ guild in Murann).

Phobias/fears: distressing and intrusive thoughts are obviously a common occurrence for someone like her, but she mostly fears losing her grip on reality, and is literally terrified about losing control over both her body and her mind and ending up hurting/killing those she loves the most.

Hobbies: botany, crafting poisons with magic, potions brewing, experimental magic, watercolor painting, and sexy times :3

Morals

Alignment: chaotic evil (before lobotomy). After lobotomy, somewhere between true neutral (always seeking for some kind of balance) and chaotic neutral (she remains mostly an individualist, who holds personal freedom above all else).

Flaws: (before lobotomy) self-centered, manipulating, obsessive and almost paranoid, control-freak, not afraid to use fear/violence to control others, tends to push people away when they get too close, handles criticism poorly and uses the silent treatment as a coping strategy when she feels overwhelmed. Post lobotomy she tends to appear secretive and almost aloof, her intense inner conflicts often lead her to emotional withdrawals, she doesn’t trust her own feelings and prefers to suffer in silence instead of asking for help.

Virtues: smart and resourceful, dedicated, passionate and intense, both before and after lobotomy. But especially after, she becomes far more compassionate and caring, and slowly learns how to trust people again.

This or That

Introvert/Ambivert/Extrovert, Organized/Disorganized, Closed-minded/Open-minded, Calm/Anxious/Restless, Disagreeable/In-Between/Agreeable, Patient/In-Between/Impatient, Outspoken/In-Between/Reserved, Leader/Follower/Flexible, Empathetic/In-Between/Apathetic, Optimist/Realist/Pessimist, Traditional/In-between/Modern, Hard-working/In-Between/Lazy

I was tagged by @starlit-serpent and @taras-toe-beans; thank you, it was fun 🌟

I'm doing it for post game-events Ellith (pre-tadpole Ellith would be slightly different on several points)

There's nothing about wisdom and/or being reasonable, but if there were, Ellith would have 0 point.

Thank you @deianestormborn for the tag on this one!

On Pinterest, search "[your OCs name]" and show us the first six results!

Now searching "Rhiannon Core" on Pinterest just gave me a bunch of Fleetwood Mac pictures, and while I love Stevie Nix to death (I have a freaking chicken named after her) I went with "Rhia Core" instead <3

Pinterest really showed out with this one, giving my little half wood-elf baby girl a real whimsical theme :3

thank you very much @ele-millennial-weirdo for tagging me <3
