A gift, from Tavylia and the Dear Abdirak fans who made this happen, and of course the star of the show himself~
Hello darlings, dear ones, and sinners all~ This cameo is our gift, for all of us who know pain a little too intimately. Written and joint funded by Abdirak fans and Lia, to provide some measure of comfort. Please, enjoy, know you are heard, you are loved, and you are never alone when enduring the most intense of Loviatar's affections. (And all my gratitude to Declan for making this so very swiftly right before going offline for his holiday)
--- The script, including content there was no space for, and some more notes from Lia, will follow after the cut~ This one is clean, no NSFW content, so feel free to proceed at your leisure. For those new here, please be aware that the majority of my content is around NSFW writing with a few art shares and essays on fandom things. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay even if you're only here for this one video.
About The Script
Even with the additional payment, the maximum character limit in a request is 650. My original draft? 1117. We got out the knives, we cut it up, we boiled it down to the most pertinent line, and still had to defenestrate some of the punctuation. Far be it from me to ever know the meaning of brevity, loves, simply not in my extensive vocabulary. I also cannot thank Declan enough for the stunning performance, both in the game and in the cameo, and for giving us a character who we can relate to and adore in so many unexpected ways.
The Script We Sent
[greeting] Loviatar Maiden of Pain felt the echo of your pain singing through infinite realities. In her mercy, she has allowed us to speak. Agony is a cloak that you wear, armour you cannot remove, it is as bound to you as the guilt you feel for its very presence. I might envy you, but you did not choose this path. Your penitence is unnecessary. Let go, dear one, do not punish yourself further. The ebb and flow of exquisite torment, the rise & fall of the tides, you need not try so hard to swim. Breathe. Whether it is of the flesh or mind, your devotions have been heard. [reminder to share burdens/rely on each other/not alone/anything else]
The Original Draft Script
Greetings, Dear Ones, beloved of Loviatar - perhaps too beloved, in your case… Your pain sang through the fabric of the planes of infinite realities, catching and pulling at the Weave like a loose thread. My Goddess, the Maiden of Pain, she felt your echo through her web. Through her mercy, she has allowed me to speak with you. Agony is a cloak that you wear, an armour you cannot remove, it is as bound to you as the guilt you feel for its very presence. I might envy you…but you did not choose this path. Your penitence is not necessary. Let it go, dear one, do not punish yourself further. The ebb and flow of exquisite torment, the rise and fall of the tides, you need not try so hard to swim through them all. Breathe, keep your head above the water. Whether it is of the flesh or of the mind, your devotions have been heard by our most beloved Maiden of Pain. You endure it well, and you are not alone. There are other voices that sing her melody, listen for them, share your burdens and know you are all very dearly loved by the most gracious Loviatar. Even if her affections are a little excessive…
Lia's Notes And Thanks
First of all, a HUGE thank you to the dear ones who helped this happen, with encouragement, editing advice, and throwing some pennies in the pot to cover the cost I couldn't do alone. I shan't name names but you are already well aware of the endless affection I hold for you all. For everyone else, I really do hope this brings you some measure of comfort. It's important to recognise how much we tend to give of ourselves even when we suffer most, and how harsh we can be towards ourselves too.
You are not a burden, having needs is normal and natural, the people who matter most should be there to support you just as you would wish to be there to support them were your roles reversed.
We can rely on each other to a degree, even if it is just to listen, to say "I understand, it's alright to feel all of the things you are feeling. You do not have to be strong, you do not have to wear that mask of endurance with me." So do let go of that guilt, dear one, it does not serve you. If you would like to read more of a discussion on chronic pain, Abdirak, fandom, please see the main essay on the topic (click here) though be aware there is discussion of the more spicy topic of how pleasure and pain can be entwined, even for those of us who feel too much pain in our every day.
Tavylia's Offer
I'm going to round this one off with a simple offer to you all. Should you wish for words of comfort from a beloved character (probably BG3 but if I know the character well enough I can try others), send them to my ask box, or on Discord/Twitter/Anything on my Carrd. This is what I have worked on before, mostly SFW (only some light suggestive moments) as the focus is on comfort to the reader.
Abdirak - Migraine Comfort Yurgir - Migraine Comfort Tav - General Comfort, with Audio Multi-Character Comfort Drabbles (Including Abdirak)
If my little words can bring you any measure of comfort or relief, you need only ask.
Farewell for now, Dear Ones, darlings, loves, Pain Pals, - all of you. Please take care of yourselves - hydrate, nourish, and for the sake of the gods please allow yourself some rest and be kind to yourself for a change. And I do mean all of you. No exceptions, now. Love yourself with grace and forgiveness, care for yourself as if you were the most precious friend you have ever made. I hope to see you all very soon~
May Loviatar's blessings be more merciful. ~ Lia

You don't have to mask to be liked, loved or to have friends.
There's nothing wrong with stimming: in private or in public.

The bar of pain and suffering is one only you can set and raise yourself.

Sometimes, social media just…hurts.
It hurts to see someone who you’ve known for a long time making leaping bounds ahead in their career, only to feel stuck or forgotten as they become more popular.
It’s hard to watch peers accounts skyrocket into hundreds of thousands of followers, while you’re still watching the same three come and go for months on end.
It’s so hard to see people around you making so much progress seemingly overnight…while you’re still running the same old path over and over, seemingly without improvement.
It’s hard when seemingly no one cares or wants what you do, because someone else always does it better, or cheaper, or faster.
It’s draining and exhausting. You do all you can to feel pride in your friends—in your community. But it’s hard not to feel envious when others are living a dream you can’t ever seem to reach because you just aren’t giving what people seem to want.
I think every single creator has been there at one point. I’m there now. It’s a shame that in today’s world, we can only seem to validate what we do by others standards. So many have been chased away from the arts because there just never seems to be enough love to go around. Because they feel left behind. Like they aren’t progressing.
I’ve been there. I see you. And sometimes it’s better to just step off; make for you instead of others. Turn off your like counter and post what makes you happy before the pressures of trying to turn what you love into a job turns your very spirit to ash.

Comfort from Tav
Hello darlings~ Listen, I know life isn't always easy. Sometimes, quite frankly, it's like a rollercoaster through the 9 hells, an absolute shitstorm that not one of us deserves. So, I have been writing a few short comfort pieces. Words from our beloved characters, an imagining of what they might say to us on those hard days. A very kind darling from Discord, Val.Vetine, has recorded the Tav version that I wrote. Please give them all of your love, I will add their links if/when available too. I'm honoured to have someone take the time to bring my words to life, to really have the character speaking through the screen to us all. So without further ado, please proceed below the line. Tav has something to tell you, and I think you should probably listen to what they have to say.
I know you, as well as you know me. I’ve felt your influence, everything from my face to my fate decided by your hand - and I feel the care in every decision. It’s not easy, I know. You have to make those choices yourself, in your own life, stuck in permanent Honour Mode. If I could ease that burden, take control for a while to solve all those quests you’re avoiding… But you don’t need me to do that. Not really. You’ve got that power, you have that strength - you always have. I don’t need a tadpole to recognise what we share, or to see that you’re the hero in your own story. It’s ok to rely on your party, too - I couldn’t make it across Faerun in one piece without my companions, the ones that you love as much as I do. So you don’t have to keep trying alone, either. Look around your camp, really look at them all. Everyone is fighting their own battles, but that doesn’t mean they won’t lend their sword to help your fight too - you’d do the same for them too, wouldn’t you? Now, remember to take your rests - long and short - and have the supplies you need to restore yourself. Don’t forget your potions to counter those debuffs, too. Gather your party, player, venture forth. You’re stronger than you think.
--------------- Please take a moment and really listen, loves. Some days are just awful, and it feels like they may never end. But they do, they will. Hang in there, darlings, and it doesn't matter what it is that you're holding on to as long as it gets you through the moment. None of us are alone, even when it feels like we are. ---------------- I have written other characters addressing the reader with similar comfort, but I am going to edit and expand on those before I share them further. If anyone is interested in doing a reading like this, please let me know - my contact details are on my carrd (pinned post) or you can message me here or on Discord (tavyliasin) I hope the world is kinder to you than it has been. You are worth more than the ways you have been treated by others.

We always imagine white pages to write on, fearing to "stain" them here and there with our darkness and mistakes/imperfections
Tumblr media
But what if we actually had a black page and had to write on it with our light? What if we were to make it look "better" with our work and effort?
Tumblr media
What would you write on your black page?
