[emptymasks]

why does my tav look suspiciously like d from vampire hunter d? um... well i um well i. you see. it's called being incredibly picky and sensitive about character creation and not being able to make a tav in game that is a comfortable representation of yourself, and d's out there being peak gender goals and already looking like me so you just use him as your own self-insert and whoops now you ship them haha. i've commandeered d for my own nefarious purposes and no one can stop me.

also yes i chose to make d a little shorter than astarion. i can't actually find a canonical height for him in the books, he's just described as looking like a young man, so for my own headcannon (and because i'm not very tall) he's like 5'8.

i have thoughts about them under the cut

no but d's closed off emotionally but does experience emotions. and he's used to no one being accepting of half-vampires. astarion mistakes him for an elf at first, only realising he's not when he tries to bite him. getting worried and then calming down once he learns d isn't a full vampire. astarion continuing to flirt with him catches him off guard, he's not unused to people finding him beautiful but he isn't used to people being this interested, especially after learning he's a dhapmir. the feeling of not being accepted amongst vampires nor humans/elves is something they share. being on board with killing cazador, perhaps was already on a mission to kill him anyway. d is incredibly touch-starved. sometimes he doesn't want to be touched, needs quiet time, tries to show astarion it's okay to not want to be touched.

he turns down astarions suggestions of bedding him for the longest time as it is not something he indulges in… but perhaps… just this once… the few times people have tried to seduce him they've been vampires, so this, this is different, he feels as though he can trust astarion with this, with himself, and if the worst comes he knows he's stronger than astarion and can fend him off. but the more time passes, the more of himself he lets astarion see, the more they let each other see of themselves, d starts to share slivers of his past, he wants astarion to know he understands, and it… it's nice to have someone who doesn't judge him, not for what he is, but also not for what he's done. and the falling happens. and he's terrified. but so is astarion. and astarion is right that this… this feels nice. and he doesn't want to be selfish and let himself be with someone, have it interfere with his drive but he wants. and he fears that astarion will fear him, he has to confess what happens if he were to feed on a person, he urges that take hold of him, the vampire that rages inside of him. but astarion thinks, and says d can't let this full vampire that lurks control him.

and when they find cazador he convinces astarion not to ascend, that someone has to break the hold these vampires have, someone has to end the cycle of abuse and power. he could have killed cazador himself, but this is astarion's moment, and he's almost testing him, seeing if astarion is different from every vampire he's met. different from almost every vampire he's met. he thinks of meier, of his ability to find and feel love. and astarion resists, and he cries, and he kills cazador. and if he's willing, when he's more recovered, once the worms are out of their minds, they'll both become braver, both become able to voice things that they feel. and perhaps astarion will say he's proven himself a worthy ally, has he not? perhaps, since it's hard for d to give up hunting, well… perhaps they could hunt together.

#i need to practise kissing more often and just characters interacting and touching more often i wanna get better at it #also left hand creeps me out imagine he's not here. i'd much rather he be like a sort of familiar to d. #like i had the idea of him possessing a wolf rather than d's left hand and so d's just got this demon wolf who travels around with him #i think lefty would prefer getting his own body than being stuck to d all the time anyway. yes i just called him lefty. #astarion #astarion x tav #baldur's gate 3 #fanart #myart #mine #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #vampire hunter d

Thyjs' whole outfit by @pinkyjulien. 🧡 cotton croptop | rubber suspenders | tight shiny pants

Another kissing practise.

For them as well as for me.

Them because they agreed to start it slow.

Me because I want to torture myself with a slowburn – visually – as my written form of them is already further.

As always, didn't think much when I took these two pics. It's only now that I look at them sitting here in my draft I notice Ry always has his hands wandering to Thy's butt, meanwhile Thyjs' hands stay above the waistline on Ry. Thyjs is careful, explores with a certain hesitation, while Ryder shows he's got the experience, is leading, but also hesitates as he doesn't want to rush. But the restraint is quite some effort. I wonder now too if Thyjs is ticklish. Ry's not.

I love them so much. They tell me things I didn't know about them before.

Angsty Sonadow Drabble #11

This time written to one of my recent sketches, featuring a pretend relationship and "unrequited" mutual pining 🥺

▪▫▪

fake relationship, mutual pining

It feels methodical. The way they grab at each other both to steady themselves and as a warning not to go further. Maybe this isn’t how actual loving couples go at it... But Sonic can’t help getting lost in the kiss anyway, he can’t stop himself from enjoying that lack of space between their chests, the touch of Shadow’s lips and his teeth and the subtle bite he adds to the action.

Their ears twitch when a door closes in the distance – whoever has caught them finally leaving, and the hedgehogs separate. Only for Shadow to dive right back in, making Sonic’s heart skip a beat even as he doesn’t reciprocate. He pushes the other back despite feeling like he’s tearing a limb from his own body.

“Don’t have to pretend anymore, you know?”

“Right,” Shadow lets go of his wrists, sounding hollow, and all Sonic can feel is regret.

▪▫▪

Read the whole collection on Ao3.

(Haobin) golden hour

“What should I do?” Hanbin grouses.

“Huh?” Gyuvin says, but then he perks up suddenly. “Oh! You could always practice kissing, you know. No one starts off knowing everything at once. Look at her, she definitely didn’t know what she was doing but they fell in love after that.”

Hanbin does not know what he’s talking about or what part of the conversation he had been referring to, but all he knows is that he has just thought of a great idea— courtesy of Gyuvin.

Zhang Hao walks toward their table, drink in hand.

Eureka.

Last Lines Game

you’ve heard of last 10 first lines, but what about giving some love to fic endings? they are so hard and yet when you nail it so satisfying!

so, pick 10 of your finished works (oldest, newest, random page on your AO3 if you have enough to have multiple pages) and share the final lines with no context!

tagged by @theleakypen (thank you for tagging me!)

okay, for this i looked through my filters and saw that out of 79 fics the only thing i had exactly 10 (completed) of were ones tagged with "Kissing" so here are 10 final lines from, i guess, my kissing fics, newest to oldest. if you think i should have more kissing in my fics send me an ask with a ship and i'll make them kiss. 😂

1. Swing The Spinning Step (T):

Well, he thinks as Wangji lets him take his hand and draw him gently down, perhaps they will.

2. The Moon Is Crumbling, But That's Okay (E):

And she's just decided that her hair needs some braids.

3. Changed All The Rules (T):

Perhaps she was always meant to remain unwed; there is no more satisfying place in all the world than caught between these two.

4. Of Long-Awaited Firsts (T):

"Lao Wen," A-Xu says, ragged and close, and Lao Wen is nothing but that for the space of a honey-sweet dream.

5. Sword Flirting (T):

This is one hell of a solution, though; how can it be losing when he gets to be shoved back in the dirt, a knee pressing between his thighs, Sandu's presence joining Suibian's several paces away, and then kissed and kissed until he can't remember what he was going to be sour about to begin with?

6. First Breath (T):

“Ba le,” Xie'er sighs. “Let’s get you to a bed.”

7. Another First Kiss (G):

Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes but loses the fight with his smile, and when Wei Wuxian bends to kiss him again he buries his hands in his shige's hair and cheerfully resigns himself to the nonsense.

8. Unexpected (T):

Wen Kexing closes his eyes tight against the ache and lets himself be held through it.

9. When The Thunder Fades (G):

The only response he gets is a sharp intake of breath and a second kiss more emphatic than the last.

10. Be Serious For Once (G):

A small break, then, Jiang Cheng thinks, a little deliriously. He can afford that.

i think what we've learned here today is that i like to end things very obviously. internal dialogue making closing remarks on the scene, or real fade-to-black moments, that kind of thing.

i tag @sundaeserenade, @fractured-ice, @minnarr, if you would like to play, and anyone else who reads this should also play and then tag me so i can read your endings :D

#tag game #my writing #my fic #play play play #also i'm serious about the kissing #everyone send me asks and i'll make some ships kiss just for fun #i clearly need the practise
