I hope you guys didn't think I'd forgotten about Gortash Week!

Flesh | m̷a̷c̷h̷i̷n̷e̷

Thank everyone who joined in 🥰.

Especially thanks to my amazing friend @judasiskariot aka @bhaal-battle-beer-bard 💜.

The party started outdoors, thanks to the beautiful weather. Miriael brought along her animal friends, who caused a bit of chaos🙈. But the cake was saved from a turtle thanks to the quick intervention of the Astarions ! Ofelia @xxnashiraxx decided to climb onto the table and start loudly singing "Happy Birthday" to Aristen🎶. Zafeiria (@/parkouringrabbit.bsky.social) decided she needed to eat the all ice cream quickly before the animals ate them 🤣 . Rav (@/sp4rr0wsw3nch.bsky.social) decided that a ride on the eagle was a great idea! The other guests (Elysia @obsessedwhyyes , Nightingale @/crmytheuntamable.bsky.social, Kes @/lyraksylva.bsky.social, Nimriel @wasted-sam , Amarie @/varisia.bsky.social) started petting to the animals ❤️.

When it got dark, the party moved to the terrace. Arrovan @bloodless-sandpiper decided that it didn't matter where he was - stealing was a must 🤣! Astarion didn't notice he had been robbed because he was more interested in the fact that Aristen had received beautiful flowers from Xylara @xystarion 💐. Innirith @crimzonrite and Odilia @justdebzong are going to offer their best wishes to Aristen 🥰. One of the guests summoned a demon (to this day, no one knows who it was!), and Saulus @bhaal-battle-beer-bard decided that dancing with a demon would be fun - fortunately, the demon thought so too 🤣! But Astarion was not exactly thrilled that his beloved comes up with ideas like that😅. Keith @cursed-nyxan, Ziraun @moonlitspider, and Tav'ven @fantalpacca struck up a conversation. Freckles and Oona @oonalovesastarionssimpleplan decided to take a nap - in Freckles's case, it’s because he is a hyena and isn't really into parties like that 😅 , while Oona fell asleep because she probably enjoyed certain drinks a bit too much 😅. Seraphina @rdekarios is trying to find a way to banish the demon, but first she must face Saulus, who has already named the creature and considers it her new pet😂.

Time to dance 💃 🕺! Withers decided to drop by the party with his whole crew of musicians and singers to liven things up 🤩! So, we have two violinists - Mia (@/luminiari.moe on BS) and Lyria (@/vj-amalea.bsky.social) and one flautist - Celeste @optimisticgrey. Tavania @shkura2011 plays the lyre and sings 🎶. We also have two other singers – Anastasia (@/pwnelope.bsky.social) and Cormac @ladydarkka. The rest are partying on the dance floor - Rynda @/ryndathegalemancer.bsky.social, Luna @goodgirlgonebard , Imara @saucy-scribbler , Amara @/a-ancunin.bsky.social, Miss Fortune @missfortunetherogue , Faersi @/trobadourbard.bsky.social, Ellith @litsenn .

After all that dancing, it's time for a drink 🥂! Valora @blacklodge13 began conjuring up a mage's hands to pour alcohol for the guests - Kallista @cobalt-cactus really liked this idea! Saulus’s Astarion is still holding up and singing shanties, while Aristen’s Astarion has collapsed by the bar 😂 - though Aristen doesn't even notice, as she is busy goofing around with her sister 🙈. Raphael come to the party, but the drinks got the better of him 🤣. The rest of the guests are talking and savoring the taste of the alcohol - Maeva @denesmera , Vera @/gcolquhoun.bsky.social, Melody @mercymaker , Bella @/whirlinginroses.bsky.social, Tav @nora-darling , Syanna @yennefer-of-vengerbergs , Caedus @theya-art 🎊

Thank again to everyone who joined in !

Don't ask how long it took to make these shots 😅 - a lot, very lot of time😅.

"He was a drow once..."

The new website officially launches today! I finally passed the arbitrary threshold of "loading up the new website" that I set for myself, so it's time to pull back the curtain.

Some features I'm especially excited for (and already have been using):

Accounts with "wishlist" functionality to keep track of things you like/build outfits (just one wishlist… for now, but that's going to change very soon [fingers crossed])

Filtering across a variety of parameters

Artist showcases

Click-to-enlarge images

A real search bar (because we've entered the 1990s, everyone!)

I hope you all enjoy and can make some use of what's on tap, and a very very happy Halloween to all of you!
