Happy Gortash Week🥳 DAY 1 - LORD │ STREET RAT (both, i think)

I think Gortash's problems with other people started, well, pretty much at birth. x) As his mother put it, he was too clever for his own good.

Though I think it's more accurate to say that the real barrier was the difference in the way he thought. While everyone else judged things by what was right in front of them, Gortash saw what they could become

That doesn't mean everyone else was stupid. The kids in the comic are objectively right - in front of them is nothing but a pile of scrap. They simply can't see something that doesn't exist yet

When Aldiirn timidly asked if Astarion would ever bite him like how Araj wanted, life slipping away and all, Astarion knew what the man who was once fed to spiders really wanted. To be bundled up nice and tight and cozy so he cant move or worry about anything at all. 💖

Aldiirn is surely slipping into the grasp of that no-good Gale and Astarion is upset about losing his meal ticket, nothing more. That adorable meal ticket who has just come stumbling onto Astarion's cranky party. Silliness ensues.

9 pages!

Sorry Gale, your freak just doesn't match Aldiirn's freak. 😭 Whose freak is apparently [checks notes] teaching guys not all physical contact has to be intimate and robbing them of worthless loot.

This scene actually had a sketch draft from way back in 2023 and since ballooned from 2 pages to this. I took inspiration from Spino's modern AU scene and touched on some Araj-adjacent stuff since I got some other plans for her scene. Originally, Astarion was going to get the scritches like a kitty, but I decided to flip it around and make use of Aldiirn being ticklish hehe.
