Durgetash Week Day 4 - Masquerade

extra special alt text today 😏

[ #durgetashweek2025 | #durgetash | #fanart | #gortash ]
You shouldn’t be this late. That’s the only thought hammering through your skull as you sprint up the steps of the Ducal Hall, the perfumed invitation crushed in your hand. The paper still carries that strange scent; vanilla and something warm beneath it… some kind of wood? You’ve reread the message so many times the ink feels etched into your memory. A personal request from Lord Enver Gortash. Your presence is desired. Desired. Ridiculous. And yet… here you are. The ballroom swallows you whole the moment you slip inside: golden light, mirrored walls, masked patriars drifting like ghosts made of silk. You’re suddenly aware of your own breath, too shallow, too fast. You don’t belong here. You know that instantly. Then you look up. Gortash is standing near the center of the hall, regal and impossible, mask sculpted to perfection. And beside him… her. A tiefling woman in midnight blue, horns crowned in delicate bone, gaze sharp enough to peel you open. She doesn’t speak, doesn’t move, just studies you with a slow, deliberate curiosity that freezes you in place. Your stomach twists. Why you? Why tonight? Why this invitation? This attention? You force your feet forward, every step feeling like you’re walking deeper into someone else’s story, one you haven’t been told the ending of. Gortash watches your approach and when you stop in front of him, he smiles, warm, familiar, unnerving in his certainty. “Ah! Tav, dear!” Your pulse stutters. Before you can answer, the faintest shift of air brushes the back of your neck — someone behind you. Someone who moved without a sound. You didn’t see her leave Gortash’s side. You didn’t hear her cross the floor. You never even felt her approach. But you feel her now. And you feel the dagger at your back. Her voice curves around your ear in a low, delighted whisper, like velvet across your skin; a hunter about to devour her prey. “We’re going to have so much fun tonight.”

Durgetash week day 1 - Domination

There's a little surprise in the alt text 🤭

[ #durgetashweek2025 | #DTWNSFW2025 | #gortash | #fanart ]
Gortash lifted her urgently onto the soft mattress and slid himself between her warm, quivering thighs, spreading her legs wide for him, holding one to his chest as he straddled the other, driving his cock deep and hard into her in one single smooth thrust, her clit now rubbing against his thigh with each move. "Tell me you want this." He groaned, shrugging the remainder of his robes off in one quick motion. Clandestine's breath hitched as she felt the heat and pressure of him inside her, and she couldn't help but moan in pleasure at the sudden invasion. Her body responded instinctively to the sensation of being filled so completely, her hips arching off the bed in a desperate attempt to draw him even deeper. "Y-yes... I want this..." She moaned loudly. With a feral snarl, he moved suddenly to swing his right hand across her face, the cold steel gauntlet striking her skin with a sharp clang, drawing a shocked gasp from her before his hand wrapped tightly around her throat, holding her down in place as he claimed her completely, ravenously – marking her body with bruises that would fade but never disappear entirely. Her eyes widened in pain and surprise, but even so, she couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of pleasure at the marks he left upon her. Her breath caught as she felt his hand wrap around her neck, her heart pounding with excitement. She had never experienced anything so intense before; the pain mixed with pleasure made her feel alive in a way she had never known.

It's almost time for the fantastic @dead3zine.bsky.social to be unleashed upon the world, and I am oh so eager to share my piece! Have a little snippet, as a treat... 🫀
#thedarkurge #orinthered #thedeadthree #bg3
A snippet from a story by elinorbard featured in the Dead Three Fanzine. The text reads: She crept after the older girl, slinking and skulking as she had been taught. She hid herself while Grandfather spoke of the temple’s history and the assassins demonstrated their skill. Every time the butler led the newcomer out of the temple to teach her the ways through the Undercity, Orin followed. The girl had done nothing but observe. She had not proved her cleverness with a blade or zeal for the art of murder. She only watched, her face as still as the underground lake, its surface sleek and inscrutable. If she had not begun to join their prayers, speaking in perfect rhythm as if she had known the words all her life, Orin would have suspected she was mute. Orin was lurking in an Undercity ruin when she caught her first glimpse of her true self. The butler was talking, always talking, about the generations of devotees that had come before them. The girl’s brow creased as her attention flew elsewhere. Orin wondered what she thought about. She wondered so intently that her foot slipped, sending a scattering of rock sliding down the path behind her. The older girl stilled and pivoted. “Sceleritas,” she commanded. In a flash, the wretched imp was at Orin’s side, twisting her arm and smiling as he wrenched her out of the deepest shadow.

A seemingly quiet evening in Waterdeep
(commission)
Painting depicting Gale and tiefling oc Navine sitting on a sofa covered by bordeaux and teal coloured velvet drapes, at Gale's place in front of the balcony. He is sitting next to her and embracing her over her shoulders, while she is leaning into him. Her right hand is placed on a book, shining as of illuminated with magic, suggesting they actually might be present somewhere else/astral projecting. Outside, the sun is setting over Waterdeep.

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.
