I forgot that I drew this... in December This was my fisrt Haarlep art which I haven't posted anywhere. I drew this when I first met him. Now I've edited the drawing a little bit and I think it looks fine

Longfic Reader Poll!

A quicker one for readers of long, multichapter, and ongoing fanfiction pieces~

Do you prefer a fic to be marked as complete when it has all the chapters, then never have anything added? Or would you like it if a longfic had extra bonus chapters added later?

The idea is if the author has finished the main story, but later feels they want to return to the characters and setting for an epilogue, or some side stories that didn't fit in the original plot, would you enjoy those? Or should authors leave a fic, along with its characters and extended story, alone once it is complete?

#i would kill for side stories #i would die for side stories #either way; what bliss #poll meme

i don't want to hijack this post, but i do want to share one trans / non-binary perspective in addition to all of the points above:

just as trans / non-binary people can look any type of way in real life, they can look any type of way in character creation. maybe someone uses mods to give their oc visible scars. maybe their oc is pre- or non-op. maybe their oc is a femme-leaning trans masc, maybe their oc is a masc-leaning trans fem. maybe they wanted their oc to look as genderless or gender fuck or genderqueer as possible. maybe their character is limited in vision because the player has no access to mods. so on one hand, sometimes the community doesn't know an oc is trans or non-binary unless the player explicitly states it. we tend to know us, but cis people can't always tell.

on the other hand, a lot of us explicitly or implicitly state that our ocs are trans or non-binary, and i see a lot of y'all covering your eyes, disengaging with content of that nature, or misgendering people and/or their ocs. it's in a really similar way to how people ignore the racism in the fandom, which is most often directed towards wyll, but also extends to people's ocs (which other folks have made excellent and well-rounded criticisms of elsewhere in the fandom).

it's there, but only if you take the time and care to look directly at it and name it for what it is.

trans and non-binary people are already subject to a cissexist, and often, heterosexual, gaze as it is. and all of the criticisms and the "but i just don't like it"s that go along with that. it's especially a slap in the face if you're engaging in a fandom that claims to be "very inclusive." if you're inclusive, show it. engage with the content. get excited about non-cis, non-hetero ocs. engage and get excited with the pansexuality / queerness of the origin characters. get a grip. lmfao

let me preface this by saying: you are allowed to have whatever pairing/ship you want. this post is not about saying you can’t nor should you feel bad for having them!

I will always use my blog as a means to advocate and boost queer material. But lately I’ve noticed the lack of engagement on queer tav x companion pairings. And it feels like it’s getting worse. It’s discouraging as a queer man who mainly ships men with men that a gif/art of Gale (or any other male companion) with a masc!/nonbinary tav will get 30 notes (if that!) in an hour but a headcanon or gif of a male companion with a fem! presenting tav will receive much more attention (100s of notes) within that same time period. For such an inclusive game, me and a couple other queer folks have come forward to say how excluded we are starting to feel. As someone who has a pansexual male partner, it is heartbreaking to see. I’m putting these in bullet points because it’s easier for me

• Gale, Wyll, Astarion and Halsin are NOT straight

• Gale, Wyll, Astarion and Halsin are PANSEXUAL

• Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Karlach, and Minthara are NOT straight

• Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Karlach, and Minthara are PANSEXUAL

• Just because a fem!Tav is paired with a male companion does not mean she is automatically straight. Stop erasing sexuality or assuming.

• Just because a masc!Tav is paired with a female companion does not mean he is automatically straight (I can relate to this one as I have a pansexual masc!Tav who is paired with SH and his sexuality gets swept under the rug)

The reluctance to engage with queer tav x companion media is discouraging and so disappointing. I know people will write g/n blurbs but honestly, upon reading them, they seem to weigh heavily towards AFAB individuals (if it’s about a male companion). I’ve seen blurbs be titled as g/n just to have an allude to AFAB individuals at the end. Queer pairings are much less likely to receive reblogs or engagement in this space and it’s baffling.

And honestly it’s even worse for nonbinary and trans individuals. You guys truly get the short end of the stick and I’m so so sorry. You don’t deserve that. But I am so tired of groups of people trying to claim these companions or claim what their “preference” is. Gale and Wyll are not “ladies men”. They’re just MEN. Even when these companions are headcanoned as parents, it’s conveniently forgotten that two men and two women can be parents. Stop claiming these characters as if they only prefer one gender. I literally made a gif of astarion kissing my male tav and it felt taboo because I RARELY see gifs of him kissing or engaging romantically with masc!Tavs.

The heteronormativity with these companions is frustrating. Us queer individuals are FRUSTRATED. I see it. I hear about it. People vent to me about it! The fact that people are so quick to give attention to fem!Tav x male companion or masc!Tav x fem companion but are so reluctant or give no attention to queer pairings is disheartening and I cannot sit by and not acknowledge this any longer. Please engage with queer content. Please reblog queer tav content. Please stop assuming sexualities of tavs. Please stop erasing sexualities of these characters. Stop excluding queer tav pairings from these narratives! All we’re asking for is equal engagement, please. We are tired, we are frustrated, please give us a voice too. And if you do not believe the companions cannot be with someone explicitly of the opposite gender, please block me.

reserchers for the fucking american journal of surgery: hey so after reviewing and piling the data of 55 studies on surgery, about 1% of people have regrets and most people are overall satisfied with their top surgery, whether thats body contouring or a double mastectomy or a breast augmentation. until there’s a serious spike in statistical regrets we don’t see a problem.

Astarion who hugs you close to him, cheek resting on the top of your head, when he’s feeling particularly anxious or dissociative. Holding YOU, rather than the other way around comforts him for the fact that he’s not the one being restricted or held down, which sends his mind back to pre-tadpole times. Holding you to him is grounding, holds him in the present where he is safe, and loved, and cared for beyond his own belief.

this is so so funny. just ignoring someone who's inside your mind and can read your every thought. it knows you can hear it just fine. it knows you're being obtuse on purpose. the pettiness
