iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Some authors write shitty books without any kind of knowledge or soul, getting praised to be an award-winning luminary example... ...while other passionate writers, who're doing this because they seriously love their characters & their background, are getting replaced by an AI... Notice something?

Why is it always the days I'm most depressed on which I'm most inspired to get back into art & fan fiction? 😔 I'm alive btw., just very drained, tired of the world & mentally incapable to do anything at all...

Dispatch just threw me way back into 2014 when I got into gaming by playing Telltale Games all over. Tales from the Borderlands was one of my absolute favorites, while Dispatch has literally all of the people's voices in it I got fond of during the last 10 years... Can we have a Season 2, please? 🥺

The story around Verdania is one of the most heartbreaking backgroundstories and optional areas I've seen in a long time within a game... I'll never gonna play Hollow Knight Silksong because it's simply too hard for me, but the story and especially the soundtrack is killing me... 😭

The ones whinging about the fandom ruining a game for them should blame themselves. Why are you still watching other's posts, art & discourses? Why don't you just leave, enjoy the game for yourself, bathe in it & build up a world YOU see fit? You don't need anyone else to enjoy things, seriously!

It's remarkable how much I distance Astarion as a character from his voice actor. I know, I probably don't get any sympathy with this, but I'd be happy if said VA never touches him again. Unpopular opinion, but I don't care.

#TavQOTD Eijiro is the result of "I'm gonna make the most clichee half-elf character there is for me!" and I had absolutly no idea which impact he would have on me. Today I'm glad there are no sparkle options in the character creator of BG3 and he means more to me than words can tell...

Ghost Eijiro, holding Astarion in his arms. He's crying while holding a chain with Eijiro's ring in his hand. The ring's shadow lands on Eijiro's ringfinger, where it once belonged. Astarion mourns his loss about his Half-Elf husband, because he couldn't live as long as himself.

Astarion, wearing just pearls and laying in splashing water in the background. He's looking suggestively at the viewer.

Bloodweave. Gale and Astarion in a slight japanese-setting. Gale holds Astarion and bends him gently back, leaning into a kiss.

Astarion lounging on a chaiselounge, holding a glass of blood. He's just covered by a golden blanket, in general he's nude. In the background there's a fireplace.

A bit late, but I created something for the meme "Crackers in bed" during March, first seen on my Patreon (link in bio)... 😊 Of course it had to be #Astarion, who is always a tease... Well, good for him! 😜 #bg3 #bg3art #baldursgate

Astarion in the setting of "Crackers in bed", with a glass of blood in his one hand, while he's got a book in his other hand. He's looking at the camera, his tongue peeking out and he smirks.

#nsfw #tavqotd Omegaverse time... is your Tav an Alpha, Beta, or Omega? What is their partner? They're both Betas. Eijiro would have Omega-tendencies, while I consider Astarion a former Alpha who actively rejects his role after the events of the game.

Call me a heretic, but I love instant coffee with 6 tabs of sweetener, while half of the cup is filled with milk! I dunno if this is even privileged to be called coffee anymore. 😂 But I think Eijiro would drink it like that as well, especially because getting real coffee out in the wild is hard. 🤷‍♂️

Strider @bluereedriot.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

#tavqotd Does your Tav/Durge take his partner's surname when they get married? Eijiro will definitely take Astarion's surname. Not because he wants to eradicate his heritage, but because he connects way too much pain with it. On the other hand "Eijiro Ancunin" sounds pretty good to me. 😊

Astarion & Eijiro marrying in Evereska. They stand before a shrine in the woods, making their vow. Astarion holds Eijiro's hands and they look at each other. They're dressed in traditional elven wear, with Eijiro wearing a blue top, Astarion wears red. But both cover their outfit with a white cloak, signalling their marriage.

#tavqotd #nsfw your Tav/Durge and their partner(s) are in the middle of some spicy bedroom activities when someone unintentionally walks in on then. How do they react? Very... very thin ice... Imagine Astarion, naked, grabbing his knife & baring his teeth, while Eijiro hides behind him, panicking.

Strider @bluereedriot.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

#tavqotd How does your Tav/Durge describe their Partner(s)? Simple: "Home!" In detail: "He sometimes can't help himself. That's why I'm here. So is he, if I can't for myself. He isn't easy to handle, neither am I. We both have our flaws, we're imperfect. But that's what I love about him & us."

#tavqotd Can your Tav cook? He can. As a Ranger he learned to make the most out of less & take nature's buffet as ingredients. His fav dish is pheasant with potatoes & vegetables. But he discovers his likings in elven cuisine when he moves to Evereska with Astarion.
