Astarion infiltrates a party.

Sexy back 🫠 Wip Commission

I recently woke up on two different nights with my bedside lamp turned on. I didn’t remember switching it on at any point, but I knew it had been me.

It had been a long time since I’d had any sleepwalking episodes, even though as a kid I moved around a lot. I remember one night when I woke up at the edge of the bunk bed stairs, sliding down with my legs folded. If it hadn’t been for the feeling of slipping, I wouldn’t have woken up, and I could have fallen from the top and seriously hurt myself. Terrifying.

Another night I simply woke up without my blanket, and I found it in the living room, perfectly folded. Back then, I didn’t even know how to fold my blankets properly. It surprised me that it might have been my mother —she was on the sofa— because she would have literally taken the only blanket I had.

Another strange episode happened on a night I actually remember halfway. I shared a room with my younger siblings: they slept in the bunk bed and I slept on a separate bed. I remember talking to them and hearing them say to each other, “she’s sleepwalking again, leave her.” I don’t know why, but being called a sleepwalker while I was sleepwalking annoyed me deeply. I remember lighting up my own face with my phone’s glow and seeing the flash of white like God Himself was opening the gates for me right then. I also remember saying, “I’m not sleepwalking, see?” and then lifting my eyelids to prove I was awake. I don’t know if sleepwalkers usually have their eyes open, but I needed to show that mine were. The only thing I recall from them in that moment was discomfort. Maybe a tiny trauma they no longer remember if I ask them today.

The next morning they told me the whole thing and, of course, I remembered exactly what I had said. I didn’t have another sleepwalking episode again until a few nights ago, when I turned the light on in my sleep.

I’ve laughed quite a bit while writing this. Good stuff (it's been about 15 years since the last incident, more or less).

I’ll soon be bringing back a “your character here,” also known as a YCH. I hope you like this first look with Astarion.

Yesterday someone told me make "litte drawings" without ever having seen a single piece of my work lol (or the work of the gnomes who work for me). Enjoy the doodles, my friends. May these 15 hours not die.

The Legend of Zelda Created simply as a challenge for myself to see if I could create a realistic background and incorporate two characters using color theory.
