Starting an updated Tav lore thread! I’ll be adding to it gradually
Pictures of three different women:

Victorine, a Drow in black and red leather armor
Vanya, a heavily tattooed Drow Bhaalspawn vampire in fancy silver armor
Sheyda, a human in black and purple robes

Vanya would say that Vic is way too stubborn and will never admit that she’s wrong. Also she should be nicer to Astarion

Vic respectfully disagrees bc it’s not her fault she’s always right, or that Vanya is in love with a “simpering buffoon”
Victorine, a Drow in black and red padded armor, looking confused Victorine’s half-sister Vanya, who is heavily tattooed and wears fancy silver and white armor. She sits on the ground of the Bhaal temple after being brought back to life

Vanya wanted so badly to save Orin, especially after learning how Sarevok abused her and her mother. Neither of them chose any of this. She would have saved Orin if she could, much to Minthara and Victorine’s dismay.

And Vesuvio never stays the night bc he’s been terrorized by one specific ghost, a tall man with black hair, since childhood

In my AU there are fragments of the souls sacrificed in the rite of ascension still lingering in the palace, so there are thousands of very angry but hollow ghosts just wandering around

Plus the many others who have been murdered since. This palace is extremely haunted

#tavqotd #tavkids #keepingupwiththeancuníns

Azelma: did you all know the palace was haunted?!
Prospero (secretly read about the rite of ascension):
Cicero (just kind of assumed):
Vesuvio (frequently haunted by one very angry ghost):
Ophelia (responsible for a few of the hauntings): I’m just a baby
The Ancunín siblings doing Jojo-style poses: Cicero (dark green armor) is doing a finger gun gesture outwards, Ophelia (pink leather armor) is framing her face with her hands, Vesuvio (dark blue leather outfit) is holding one hand up with the other behind his head, Prospero (dark red armor) is holding his hands together over his head, and Azelma (black tailcoat and red trousers) is doing the classic Dio pose where she’s leaning back with her arms out

I'm a fan of nuanced discussion but at this point I need to indulge in some black and white thinking and be clear that if you entertain AI generated art in any form I have no respect for you

I hc that if Bhaalspawn have twins it’s more likely they’ll eat each other
ziziphoenix.bsky.social
The red is from their vampiric heritage, and the glowing eyes are from Bhaal

#AzemaAncunín🔫❄️ #CiceroAncunín🏹🪉

Years later, Astarion would tell Azelma and Cicero they were originally triplets, but they strangled the third in the womb and ate him

They don’t believe him, even though it’s 100% true. They each have one non-glowing eye, probably Mordoc’s
The eyes of Vanya’s twins, Azelma and Cicero. Azelma’s left eye and Cicero’s right one are glowing, although Azelma’s is brighter. The other two eyes are normal, undoubtedly due to absorbing their triplet in the womb

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀

The one glowing eye is from Bhaal, and both eyes should have looked like that. Her mother was already pregnant before the deal with Bhaal, so when he planted a fetus carved from his rib, that fetus devoured the first one.

So Vanya’s first kill was in utero
Vanya’s eyes. One is dark purple like her mother’s, and the other is glowing white with a black sclera. This is a result of chimerism, aka the fetus that Bhaal planted inside her mother absorbed the one that was already there

“Everyone on this show is cheating on each other. Sometimes right in front of their partners”
Vanya, a heavily tattooed Drow/bhaalspawn in a tattered white shirt, looking shocked at what is probably the largest schlong she’s ever seen. Where is it supposed to go? Beats her

Every year I see people post some variation of this, and I gotta wonder who the hell is just giving away edibles (and where can I find them)

That shit is Not Cheap
ziziphoenix.bsky.social
Ooooo I need to check that one out too
ziziphoenix.bsky.social
Are you talking the one from the 90s? It’s one of my personal favorites, highly recommend. The costuming is immaculate

As for during her adventure, no, she didn’t. At least not intentionally. She had a bite of dwarf at the goblin camp before someone told her what it was, and she woke up one night having eaten half of Alfira’s heart (following a vivid dream about ripping Astarion’s heart out and eating it)
ziziphoenix.bsky.social
She also used to cook it for Gortash. He knew what it was

Now that she’s a vampire she has no need for the flesh of thinking creatures, just their blood
ziziphoenix.bsky.social
#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀

In her Chosen of Bhaal days, she became very good at butchering the flesh of thinking creatures and threw feasts for her most devoted followers. She ate the hearts raw and fresh from their chest cavities during sacrificial rituals

In survival situations she’d do it again

Thank you! I also like doing these over time bc sometimes they change as I grow my characters

#OpheliaAncunín🎀💀

Ophelia is basically Azula (ATLA), Jinx (Arcane), and Mona Lisa Saperstein (Parks and Rec)
Ophelia looking a little irritated and confused Azula, scowling with a bunch of blue fire around her Jinx in the iconic table scene, sitting in the chair labeled “Jinx,” signifying her choice not to return to Vi Mona Lisa going “Money pleeeeeease!”

#VesuvioAncunín🖤🤺

Vesuvio is mostly Alucard (Castlevania) and Klaus (Umbrella Academy) with a little Hawks mixed in for good measure
Vesuvio looking down at something, with his dad Astarion behind him in black skeleton armor Alucard in his black suit and cloak, looking angelic Klaus surrounded by his cult Hawks looking serious in his tan aviator coat

#CiceroAncunín🏹🪉

For Cicero I had Mark Grayson (Invincible), Trevor Belmont (Castlevania), and Natsuo Todoroki (mha) in mind
Cicero looking concerned Mark Grayson in his black and dark blue suit, running down the street Trevor in his tunic and fur cloak swinging his whip Natsuo in a light blue jacket

#AzelmaAncunín🔫❄️

Azelma is a mix of Dante (Devil May Cry), Fiona Gallagher (Shameless), and Shoto Todoroki (mha)
Azelma in a brown leather padded doublet, not unlike the kind of thing her dad would have worn as a spawn Dante in his red coat, holding his guns out and in the midst of battle Fiona Gallagher in the kitchen, holding a glass and looking a little rough Shoto munching on some cold soba

#ProsperoAncunín⚔️🐺

Prospero is a mix of Dabi (My Hero Academia), Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl), and Lotor (Voltron)

Aka someone didn’t love him enough when he was little
Prospero in a dark blue brocade coat, not unlike his father’s Dabi from mha having removed his black hair dye, grinning with his hand on his collar Chuck from Gossip Girl wearing a suit and tie and looking perplexed Lotor lookin a little rough
