Perfectly in time for #ElegysOC 's debut in #BrokenMirrors (soon ™), I got my commission from Rooji-R!

This is my girl in her Bhaalist days!
The last thing some of her victims ever saw before meeting an untimely end.

Hazelnut spread with or without butter?

There is no "no butter" in Darius' world! Butter belongs with bread. C:

They did try a threesome once, but Faelar and Gareni, both being more on the dom side of things, didn't see eye to eye, and the "experiment" wasn't very successful lol

Shandora 🔞 @shandoraexplorer.bsky.social · 8m

As for her experiences in sex, she's pan and monogamy wasn't something that was encouraged while in the Bhaal cut, so she's had multiple partners all the time, but she did have favorites, Gareni and Faelar being one of them.
Gareni didn't mind, as long as she got enough attention.

#tavqotd due to most killers using knives and axes and other sharp object, Jezella isn't fairing too well, like she can fight back, but she's extremely weak to piercing and slashing damage. That being said she will turn her hideout to a saw trap.

#TavQOTD
#ElegysOC first girlfriend was a half-orc woman.
The two of them could barely keep their hands off each other.
She was sturdy too, so Elegys never managed to kill her during one of her frenzies.
Her name was Gareni, and they broke up when Elegys fell pregnant by Faelar and betrayed Bhaal.🧵

#TavQOTD
#VincentOC tried out lots of things when he was younger. His first lover was a sex worker (drow♂), who taught him everything about carnal pleasures.
He's bi, generally leaning more toward partners with more feminine traits. But he doesn't mind getting pegged every now and again. 😏

Shandora 🔞 @shandoraexplorer.bsky.social · 20m

So I'm not sure he'll ever get to explore many other partners aside from doing so in an AU like I'm doing with @ishi-amai.bsky.social in our Story Lover-Mine.

As of now, he doesn't know if he'd enjoy being with a woman or someone fem-presenting as he hasn't had that experience consensually yet.

Shandora 🔞 @shandoraexplorer.bsky.social · 21m

He's canonically poly so he'd be open to trying things out, granted Astarion is up for it, but being demisexual too means that he wouldn't just try things out in a one night stand, even if Astarion agrees.
He needs that emotional connection first before feeling desire.

#TavQOTD
#RolimOC hasn't had consensual heteronormative sex. If that even exists to begin with for a trans man lol (genuine question, feel free to answer!)

His two consensual times have been with a nonbinary tiefling with male bits and with Astarion (and @ishi-amai.bsky.social 's Darius in an AU)

I MAY been answering this question wrong, but here goes.

CW: incest, SA

As a gay man, Darius' exeperiences of the sexual variety is mostly with men.

He experimented once with Orin when they were teens, didn't like it. Once more with a tiefling ++

I didn't have a name for my first Tav at first, she was just 'Tav'. Later, I wanted something that Tav could be a nickname from, so she became Tavrieth.

Lilith was my first durge, I wanted her name to be short, feminine and beautiful, and a little ominous

#TavQOTD Your Tav/Durge landed in your favorite scary movie! How are they faring?

For all the times he's ready his Patron's book, he knows not to read "In the mouth of madness". There are some books that aren't meant to be read.

Someone else ends up reading it and well, everyone dies. +

If Es were in Crimson Peak she'd clock the sister-kisser energy radiating off Thomas as soon as they met but still go along with the marriage for shits & giggles; the rest of the movie would be Lucille trying to kill her in increasingly dumb ways until she ends up burning the house down.

Mint walks into Josef’s house, tries to leave, he offers her more, and she stays. She brought her gun with her so she honestly doesn’t mind his weirdness

The xenomorph would chase Ripley, and Xal would chase the xenomorph to neutralize it and teleport it to his house for further study. This creature is too fascinating for Xal to quickly lose interest in it.
I think everyone will have a lot of fun.

A little late for this, but happy Lesbian Day from Aurora! ✨

Aurora, daughter of Lilith & Astarion in my durge Lilith's story, is a lesbian 💗

I don't yet have pictures of her with her partner, an elven bard named Mirabel 💕 (I'm still designing her look)

Got my birthday gift from my partner today 😍 there apparently were some problems with delivery, but we're having a gwent night today. Witcher 3 is one of my favourite games and I love to play gwent there 😁

#ElegysOC doesn't remember anything... but that doesn't mean she doesn't know.
But she ends up finding old journals of hers when they raid Orin's room.
It catalogues her life in painstaking detail.
It's how she finds out about Araj and her real name.

#OctavianOC remembers his life before the reset and before Bhaal.

All thanks to a little alchemical magic brewed by #AodhánOC

#TavQOTD For the Durges!

For the Durges who had a life and a family before Bhaal, did they ever learn of said life and family? Did they remember anything after becoming Bhaal's Chosen? Or were those memories lost in the wind?

Bonus: How were they reminded of their previous life?

As I replied to tavqotd about first kisses, I can tell Aurora's too💗

She was sixteen, out late for a harvest celebration in the village. She and the smith's daughter she liked had been drinking cider and ended up kissing.

Aurora rushed to her room when she got home, feeling flustered and tipsy 😅

1/5: Lilith's name wasn't originally Lilith.

Her adoptive parents found her as an abandoned baby, crying alone. They decided to save her and took her in, giving her the name Anna

They didn't question why the drow baby was there. They knew drow were cruel, they assumed she had been abandoned
