🌿INTRO POST🌿HEMWO

🌸Okami, Hylia, or Ammy (She/Her) II 32
🌸My Tav is a Feylost Tiefling Druid named #Amaranth
🌸I enjoy sharing my writing and VP photos of her, Astarion, and their twins #Feyshadow

Livestreams, Amaranth's lore page, fics, and VP comms can be found here: okamih.carrd.co

#BG3 #BG3OC

Amaranth was born into the world of the Feywild. Her parents were unexpectedly approached by an powerful Archfey as her mother was ready to give birth, with an offer to save her and her mother's lives. But its magic came with a heavy price. Her mother would be forever bound to the Feywild, the consequence if she ever tried to flee would be the very life she was given a second chance at.

Amaranth's parents agreed to the deal with the Archfey, and keeping true to its word, Amaranth was born happy and healthy. After some years go by, Amaranth returns home one day, and her parents discover she has been blessed with druidic magic.

Amaranth's parents were overjoyed, but they also recognized that she needed to find the right mentor and a circle eager to accept her as one of their own for her to reach her full potential. Amaranth refused at first, unwilling to leave them and the only home she had ever known. It took months of back and forth, and arguments that ended pretty much the same way, but they eventually talked her out of staying, and this is where Amaranth’s journey began.

Amaranth came across a group of shadow druids in the Material Plane who promised to help her. They saw how eager and vulnerable she was, misleading her for years, preying on her loneliness and wish for genuine connection.

Things took a horrifying turn at a ritual that was meant to mark the end of her training. The spell demanded a sacrifice, something she had no idea of until it was too late. The sacrifice included not just the life of the grove, but also the death of her only and closest friend she's ever had. Everything she had believed up until that moment was destroyed in that instant. When she refused to follow anymore of their orders, they captured her, forcing her to perform dark shadow magic that caused her an immense amount of pain each time she cast them. After a year of suffering at their hand, she attempted to escape.The chase lasts through the night, until there's nowhere left for Amaranth to run once she's cornered. It's like a switch, and all her grief and anger finally unleashes as her wild magic surges for the first time. By the time Amaranth regains control, the only thing left is a pile of burnt corpses and ash around her.

Amaranth now wanders Faerûn searching for a true path to harness her druidic powers for good so she may be able to break the curse on her parents one day, reuniting with them, as well as help others who were once powerless like her.

Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorites too ❤️ That's where I get a lot of my inspiration from Ammy's and Astarion backstory and I felt like it would be so appropriate with their post game story when traveling through the Feywild. Scar is my favorite but Maleficent is right below him 💚

I really need to get into character creator when I get home and design the archfey that cursed Amaranth's mother. Feeling inspired while waiting for Fantasmic to give them a Maleficent esque style keeping with the Sleeping Beauty theme and having them transform into a dragon would be 😚

I just wanted to gush how much I love April's work 🥹 I adore the symbolism in the icons between the wolf print for her wildshape and butterflies for her transformation, as well as the moon and stars for Feyshadow

Her holding the amaranth in her hands, and heart eyes for Astarion, Nyorn, and Vrak 🩷

They truly don't it's all about profits or you just don't get healthcare until you end up in the ER during a crisis point it's disgusting. Thank you sweet bean 💜

Beyond ass, especially when they should have explained they were making sure nothing life threatening was the cause of the seizure

I basically told them they better get it resolved with insurance cause they can't get it out of me when I don't have it. It's beyond frustrating when hospitals already charge these insane amounts nobody can realistically pay and from my understanding my medicaid already paid off most of the bill 🫂

Trying not to stress or think about it now, my mother even asked why I'm awake right now since we're not doing anything until later today when she's off of work but it's hard when this is still hanging over my head over 3 months later because our healthcare system is beyond broken

OkamiHylia ☽˚｡⋆𓃦 ☽˚｡⋆ VP Comms Waitlist Open @okamihylia.bsky.social · 23h

As if I needed a reminder of how my last 'trip' went when the hospital in Florida called me before 9 this morning and woke me up just to tell me they still haven't resolved the issue of the remaining balance of my bill insurance hasn't paid for yet. I hate our healthcare system with every fiber

Comic of Astarion and Karlach from BG3, done with alcohol markers, pen liners, and microns.

Top panel: Astarion asleep in his bedroll, having a nightmare about Cazador--he's curled up with his hands over his head.

Middle panel: Karlach is tearfully offering her teddy bear, Clive, to Astarion. Astarion has his arms folded.
Karlach: "PLEASE FANGS I WANNA HELP--"
Astarion: "Ughh, I'm not a CHILD, you know."

Bottom panel: Astarion peacefully asleep in his bedroll, cuddling with Clive, with a starry night sky above him.
