Second companion portrait!! Not totally happy with this one but I know I've probably just been staring at it for too long. I'm sure I'll feel better once I walk away from it for a while :')

My love my beauty my sweet my darling

I've been getting into Baldur's Gate 3 a lot recently. I also wanted to draw something inspired by art nouveau!

Another Shadowheart wip, with some flat colours this time~

"did you want something?"

Pov: You interrupted her in the long rest.

Wyll I love you

shadowheart: the darkness...

wyll: what brand is your makeup remover girl

Blades in the Night: Chapter 17

I refuse to let the whole month pass without finishing this chapter! This is a big one (but haven't they all been chunky chapters?) and I think you'll all have a lot of fun with it. Some drama, some banter, some smut. Some dreams, too.

The pithy version of the chapter summary could read: The Girls cross a bridge.

Read the chapter on AO3 💜

Rating: E for explicit smut and graphic violence throughout the fic

Ship: Shadowheart/Trans Fem Tav

daughter of darkness ✨

Wednesday white-haired character: Shadowheart

a happy shadowheart to brighten your day 💛🪻

last art of the year and it is predictably still shadowheart related - thank u @optiwashere for commissioning me! (asheera uses she/her)

I made a shadowheart pixel a year ago, but redid 'cause I'm finally playing bg3

sad news… artist incredibly yuri pilled about a ship like 3 other people care about

Rich tit says what?

There is no bar you can clear that will convince people who say "there's no f/f bc there aren't enough good female characters" that they're wrong.

You can point to how fandom will go to unimaginable lengths to ship two *male* characters who've never met or are two-dimensional cutouts in canon, and they will say "but I don't always want to DO that much work (when they're girls)!" You can point to shows featuring or focusing on female characters (sometimes with sprawling casts of options!) and they will say "but nobody watches those" (which is a tautology - I don't watch because nobody watches so nobody will watch). You can name two female characters from *shows they watch* and they will gesture broadly at all of media ever produced in Western canon and say "not enough." You can point to popular female characters or f/f ships and their fandoms are too "toxic" or "too intense" (while never saying boo about the shippers for their m/m faves harassing actual actresses irl). You can give them a laundry list of options from here to the farthest sea, and they will start litigating what they mean by a "good" female character or a "compelling" f/f ship until nothing remains (while never holding their white dude faves to similar standards).

You cannot win. Because they're convinced that they cannot be misogynistic, ever, and the fault must be elsewhere, always. The goalposts will always move so they can never be accused of bias. Every time.
