Ship Tournament, Round 1 — Match 10 / 30

Ansur/Emperor

"THE doomed exes ship. ansur loved balduran enough to search for him, shelter him, try to save him, and then couldn’t accept what he’d become. the emperor loved him enough that killing him is still framed as this huge buried wound centuries later, even through all the mind flayer emotional repression and manipulation. it’s horrible because neither of them is uncomplicatedly “wrong” in the emotional sense? ansur sees the person he loves transformed into something he believes is a monster. the emperor sees the person he trusts most deciding that mercy means killing him. they loved each other and it still ended under the city with a dragon’s corpse and a sword in the dark. what the fuck man."

"sometimes romance is a dragon looking at the illithid wearing your lover’s memories and going “i can’t live with this” and the illithid going “i am alive, why is that not enough”"

"Is the Emperor still Balduran? Is Ansur loving him, mourning him, or rejecting him? Is the Emperor’s anger betrayal trauma or the cold self-preservation of a mind flayer? It’s messy and awful and romantic in the gothic “this ends with both of us ruined” way. Exactly what I want from a dragon and his fucked up squid ex."

vs. Astarion/Halsin

"There’s something really tender about Astarion, who has spent 200 years being used and controlled, ending up with someone so patient and grounded and deeply respectful of bodily autonomy. Halsin is horny, yes, obviously, but he’s also very much about consent and freedom and letting people come to things in their own time. Astarion needs that so badly it makes me ill."

Here's the other thing I was alluding to, a Red Smoke map part for my buddy Juno's map! This one features Bearstar, our main antagonist as well as Ashstar who probably won't appear in the comic, but look out for her in any pre-canon content. I'm sure nothing bad will happend between them!

Ignore the fact that they’re all unfinished and crappy… and that I can’t keep a consistent design 😭

Malbear and Ito are probably my favourite designs I love them sooo much,.
