When you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! then, send to your last ten people in your notifs (anonymously). you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity ❤️

hmm let me think…

These won’t be in any sort of important hierarchy, but:

1: Cooking/Eating! I love the entire process, with the exception of maybe grocery shopping and cleaning up afterwards. I love going out and trying new foods from a multitude of cultures. Next on my list is Filipino food!

2: Gardening. I love, love, love growing my own vegetables, especially tomatoes, and despite my current garden not actually receiving a lot of sun, I keep trying anyway haha.

3: DnD!! I am currently in two campaigns, one local and one long distance, and making characters and playing with my friends is always an amazing experience.

4: Video Games. Not just playing them, but making them as well. There’s that joke, “I hate every single part about the film making process but the only thing I hate more is not making films” and it sums up Game Development for me a lot. Nothing gets me to geek out faster than someone talking about 3D modeling software or cool material blueprints in Unreal, lol.

5: My family. I’m very fortunate to have a good relationship with them, and especially fortunate to have grown up in a family with plenty of strong women to look up to. My aunts shaped a big part of me growing up, and I still meet with some of them every week to eat dinner, go on walks, and maybe watch a movie or two. Summer is soon approaching as well, which means one of my aunts and I will go fishing for fluke nearly every Sunday. We don’t catch much but it’s nice to sit in the sun and drink in that sea air.

6: (Honorable mention goes to my friends, ofc).

Thanks for tagging me @atsadi-shenanigans!

Last song you listened to: Youth by Glass Animals. I think it's a great song to begin with but something about the melody really scratches an itch in my brain.

Fav color: Mossy/leaf/olive green

Currently watching: Re-runs of Bones... I like Procedural Detective shows, ok.

Favorite flavor: For candy? Either Strawberry or Apple. For soda? Apple.

Current obsession: Minecraft, thanks to @aevallare and her diabolical rats.

Last thing googled: The release date for Lady Gaga's Disco Stick. It was for a bit, lol.

Fav season: Late spring or early fall, but probably leaning towards fall. It means I can go apple picking, wear hoodies, and of course, Halloween!!

Skill to learn: I want to learn to code very badly. I work in the art part of Game Design, but I have minimal coding experience so I cannot program my own game. If I could I have a 2d point and click game I want to make...

Best advice: Be confident! I am a naturally cautious, pessimistic person and I struggle with self-esteem a lot, but I've been trying to stop second-guessing myself all the time and go out and interact with people/things more. I'm trying to post more art and work up the courage to post the fanfic I'm writing, and just from the poking my head into the BG3 community on here and flailing around I've met so many awesome, talented people.

Tagging: uhhhh @rainbowslinkyy, @8catsinatrenchcoat and @amoremagnificentbastard, only if you want to!

Get to know you - tag game

thanks for the tag, @nerdalmighty! 😊

Last song you listened to:  "soul meets body" by deathcab for cutie. i've been on a real nostalgia kick lately and i forgot how much i love this song.

Favorite color: pastel teal/grey.

Currently watching: supernatural. i'm finally at the point where it starts getting Real Bad™ and i'm having a blast laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Favorite flavor: i'm not a big fan of sweets, but i'm very partial to vanilla. oh, or mint!

Current obsession: *laughs in bg3*

Last thing I googled: the menu for the restaurant we went to earlier for brunch. ended up getting a nice omelette with goat cheese and peppers.

Favorite season: probably fall. gotta bust out the embarrassing number of cardigans i own.

Skill I’d like to learn: i wish i had the patience for art. i have so many stupid little ideas in my brain that i wish i could put on paper.

Best Advice: it's never too late to do something for yourself, whether it's learning something new, going back to school, etc. i took so many years off of university before i finally went back and it was the best decision of my life. i often struggle with feeling like i'm lagging behind, only just starting things other people finished years ago, but the only way you can actually fail is if you never even start.

tagging @atsadi-shenanigans and @verbenaa, if you feel like participating too!

currently watching: Re-runs of the mentalist for the 500th time, Dungeon Meshi, Psycho Pass.

sweet/savoury/spicy: Savory!

relationship status: Single 🥲

current obsession: I’m coming down from my BG3 hyperfixiation but I still have some art and fics I want to write for it, so I’m taking a short break from it so I don’t burnout. Otherwise I was most recently obsessed with Psych, and I always will talk about Dragon Quest.

last thing you googled: some very uninteresting directions to a band venue, otherwise some fact checking stuff for a character I’m making for an upcoming DnD one-shot.

Astarion has mid charisma for a reason, but he tries all the same. Ft. our beloved durge. Saw this original comic (below) by Sarah Andersen and I knew I had to make an edit.

Made a sculpt of my Tav, didn't want to fight with fibermesh in Zbrush for the hair, so I stuck with a bit of a janky solid sculpt for that. Anyway if you're curious about her, you can check out this write-up ~here~.

[lyzelky]

would love to hear more about your tav, if you’re willing to share :)

Another ask!! Yes!! Of course!!! Here are some new sketches as well!

I am in the process of writing a fic, so I don't want to reveal too much without spoiling some plot points I have planned. Regardless, here are some basic character facts: Age: about 23-24 Height: 5'5 Weight: ~150lbs Body Type: She has a sturdy build, especially for tieflings who I think tend to be a bit more wiry/lithe, and has a bit of pudgy-softness to her form. Skin Color: Golden, like Dammons, but she has a pale chest and belly. Hair Color: Golden brown with reddish highlights Eye Color: Hazel-green Char Stats: STR: 10 DEX: 12 CON: 17 INT: 8 WIS: 11 CHA: 15 She's got one-braincell syndrome, but boy can she take a punch. Upon waking in the nautiloid, she hits her head pretty good and realizes shortly after that she has no memory of her personal life. Whether this is due to injury, the tadpole, or something else is something that ties into her character arc. Relating to this, she does have a name! Tav is a moniker given to her by Shadowheart very early on in the story. Her real name will be revealed as the story progresses. Her amnesia seems to obscure only her personal history; She has intact "common knowledge" about cities, recent world events, races of Faerûn, etc. Basically things most people would know, etc. She is a tiefling (Asmodeus), but has some unusual features. Her horns are initially filed down to the base, and her nails have been trimmed so she no longer has the typical claws we see on other tieflings in bg3. As time passes in the story, she does regrow her horns, which is why you might see my depictions of her with varying horn lengths. Due to her amnesia, she is unsure of what line of work she once occupied, but it's apparent she's a proficient martial fighter. She develops a slight father/daughter relationship with Zevlor after saving the grove from the initial goblin attack, and it's his influence that guides her towards becoming a Paladin. This vocation suits her for a variety of reasons, mainly due to the fact that she's inherently selfless, often to a fault. I would list her positive traits as being: kind, self-sacrificing, charismatic, courageous, enduring and practical. I would list her negative traits as being: Reckless, stubborn, naive, dense, tactless (compulsive truth-teller), and overconfident, although this stems more from her naivete rather than arrogance. In short: She's a good aligned, folk-hero paladin, aka Astarion's antithesis (at least in the beginning). I think it's an interesting dynamic to explore that relationship and contention between the two of them, and how ultimately they're good for each other. Hope you didn't mind my rambling! Let me know if there's anything else you're interested in.

Reblogging to say that I did make a post about my tiefling headcanons, you can find it here. Happy reading!

Tav realizes she likes Astarion's fangs a little too much. For reasons yet undisclosed, Tav isn't too familiar with her tiefling instincts, but she's starting to learn the hard way. I have several headcanons about tiefling culture/biology, (maybe I'll write them up one day) one of which being that tieflings have a hardwired attraction to a nice set of fangs.

(NSFW filth from here onwards)

While tieflings mostly share similar sexual dimorphism characteristics with humans, one of the differences is that males tend to have more pronounced fangs than the females. Every tiefling is different and has their own preferences regarding gender/orientation, but during a tieflings heat/rut cycle, bigger, sharper teeth = better mating bite. Astarion isn't a tiefling, but well, I don't think Tav minds too much. ((Also sidenote: while the terms rut/heat usually refers to an affliction for males/females respectively, the terms are more or less interchangeable and not bound by gender/orientation/sex. Informally the terminology changes depending on whether the afflicted wants to breed or be bred. I'll let you guess which one Tav is, LOL))

[lyzelky]

I recently received a request for my tiefling headcanons, (also mentioned in this comic) so I put together a ramshackle biology guide for them. It's not 100% faithful to DnD or BG3 lore, but I borrowed enough from them that it's pretty interchangeable.

IMPORTANT: I tried to keep most things as clinical as possible to avoid Tumblr-geddon, but anything vaguely NSFW in the comic has is written in pink text for your convenience.

((CW: Clinical (Non-Graphic) descriptions of Heat/Rut cycles, menstruation, no A/B/O)) I'm also going to copy over all the text from the panels into text format on here so y'all can just read them if you want.

Text version below!

INFERNAL TRAITS

Tieflings possess a variety of features that hearken back to the Hellish influence in their bloodline. Often these traits are animalistic in nature, though in extreme cases may appear more akin to aberrations.

Common features include glowing eyes, horns, clawed fingers and toes, and tails.

Tieflings are inclined to be left handed or ambidextrous.

Less common traits include hooves, paws, or talons for feet, wing like appendages, goat-like ears, a forked tongue, etc.

A Protruding Brow ridge and cheekbones are more common among males. They are considered attractive by some and less so by others, and it seems to crop up in those who are closer to their Infernal sire (I.e, the direct child of a cambion).

Tieflings possess raised ridges on various parts of their body. They can range from boney and firm to soft and fleshy, with the intensity and abundance of ridges varying per individual.

EYE VARIATIONS

The eyes of a tiefling born to two tieflings will almost always have infernal coloring. In this regard, the scelera should be jet black and glossy, and the iris vibrant and produce a strong glow.

The eyes of a tiefling born to humans can either have infernal or mundane coloration. The pupil is usually oblong, but other shapes have been known to occur.

A child born to one tiefling and one human has an equal chance of inheriting either trait.

In both cases, the pupil functions like a cat’s would; narrowing in bright light, and dilating in darkness or while in a state of heightened emotion.

TEETH VARIATIONS

Male tieflings typically have longer fangs than Females. Males are are considered to be more attractive the longer their fangs are.

This attraction is perhaps more hardwired than cultural, as most female (and some male) tieflings are on the receiving end of a bite during their heat.

It is not uncommon to see some tieflings with filed teeth, especially in places where discrimination is common.

TAIL VARIATIONS

The shape of The tail tip (Often referred to as a ‘spade’) manifests in a variety of forms, with some sporting tufts of hair or even fins.

Tiefling Parents might take their newborn to a fortune teller to predict their child’s lifeline based on the spade and other distinctive features. (Longer tail = Longer life, Thin Tail = Weak Constitution, etc.)

Long tails are typically seen as more attractive, but it’s usually down to a matter of preference.

Although their tails are not prehensile, having a dexterous tail is often seen as a sign that someone is more skilled in bed.

REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE

Like humans, tieflings endure a 9-month gestation period, and all other developmental markers remain the same despite most tieflings living upwards of 200 years.

Tieflings differ slightly in regards to ovulation and fertility. Unlike humans, tieflings will experience either a heat or a rut that is the primary driver of their breeding cycle.

Females typically experience their first heat at around 16-18, with males experiencing their first rut at around 18-20.

Unlike a human menstruation cycle, females will go into heat every 2-3 months for 1-2 days at a time, after which menstruation will last for about 4 days.

A rut occurs at roughly the same frequency, but can be triggered early by heat pheromones.

Many tieflings use potions, herbs, or magic items to mitigate their heat/rut cycle, but long term usage is not advised.

During this period, the afflicted experiences heightened arousal and an instinctual urge to breed. Fertility is increased during this period.

Increased production of pheromones signals potential mates that one has entered heat/rut.

Scent glands along the hips, jawline, tail and neck become highly sensitive.

“Tail flagging” may occur, in which the tail lifts and inches over to the side to provide “easier access”.

Heat and Rut Symptoms

A tiefling usually experiences a variety of symptoms in the days leading up to their heat or rut. Primarily the afflicted will notice:

- Increased Fatigue

- Increased body temperature

- Increase in appetite/thirst

- Increased sensitivity to olfactory and tactile senses.

- Mood swings that include irritability, aggression, and anxiety, especially if in an unfamiliar or dangerous location.

Those in heat often feel the urge to retreat to someplace familiar and safe, and often engage in “nest-making” behavior.

This consists of surrounding one’s self in paraphernalia associated with loved ones (Often clothes, pillows or bed linens). A partner will often assist in prepping the nest and gifting appropriate items in a show of support and affection.

Those in rut without a partner tend to withdraw into a solitary location, and often experience bouts of aggression and irritability.

Those with a partner often become exceedingly territorial or possessive, especially if said partner is in heat or is pregnant.

When seeking out a partner, gifts may be given as a show one is a good provider; this is more of a ceremonial practice than a biological one. Gifts often include jewelry, fine clothing, rare artifacts etc.

That's all for now! Let me know if you liked it or not or want more. Feel free to use this stuff for your own stories/fanfics/art whatever, but I'd appreciate if you linked back to this post or my blog if you do. Thanks!

Obligatory Catstarion post, with an additional cameo of my Tav as a cat. Big One-Orange-Braincell energy from her, lets be real. Also smashed together a quick animatic of Catstarion bringing her a "gift" in the morning, isn't he a little shit the best? If you're curious about my Tav, there's some more artwork on my blog like this one.

A companion comic to this one; Tav likes Astarion's fangs, Astarion realizes he really likes seeing her in his shirt with his bite marks on her neck.

Big fan of the trope that Astarion is a little too possessive over the things he cares about deems important, partially because he's a selfish little creature, but mostly because he didn't have anything to call his own under Cazador. ((Also featuring a showboating Wyll, and a skeptical Lae'zel; I love them both so much, they're such dorks.))
