cassidy dragon age ✨

i was really struggling with a head tilted up drawing when this drawing challenge went viral and i'll never be so lucky again

(side note drawing a double chin in this style has been a nightmare for me)

I saw the recent post about them bringing voice actors back to record the they/them lines and I love that, felt so seen for the first time

but then veilguard came out last year and its like...being able to talk to trans characters about transness really shines how weird I feel about that bg3 bit

listen I love bg3 to my soul but the fact the only trans character apart from you making a trans PC is shoved behind an easily missable door and her dead name is repeated in game?

its definitely a choice

Made this as a joke but now its like ah yes, my emotional support short king mob boss

straight up need an exorcism to get corbeau pokemon out of my brain

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

finding out my adhd assessment that I've waited 3 years for is another 4 years away....yeah ooof

Thank you so much for all this!!! I'm a crafter Z rank so I did not know where to start 😅 it really does all look fantastic though, even pre release!

Love this so much!! Can I ask what you used for the glasses chain bit? Want to try to make my own for day to day life and have no idea where to start 😅

110% need someone to design and sell Corbeau's glasses chain from Pokemon ZA because I am not confident in my crafting skills to make them but I want them so bad 😭 it looks like dripping poison!! I'm obsessed!!

To be fair they're a mourn watcher mage who in my head canon read about liches as a kid but I'm struck by the romantic idea of younger watchers talking about two lich lords who saved the world, fell in love and loiter in the memorial gardens sometimes 😂

Your portrayal of Emmrich is truly a gift to community, he's so loved and he lives rent free in many of our minds 💚

(enough so for me personally that I've started learning how to draw to carry on bringing him to life!)

Happy Anniversary Veilguard!!!

This time a year ago I was waiting, not realising how much it’d mean to me 💜

It’s helped me understand myself, i got into fanfic and also finally learning how to draw!

This piece has taken weeks bc of my health & it’s not as perfect but I’m so happy it’s done

trying my hardest to push though with a veilguard project for the first anniversary but drawing is so hard when you're still a beginner 😭😭

god please save me emmrich volkarin dragon age, please save me

There's nothing in this world quite like that one fictional character you're obsessed with holding your mental health together like glue holding together a shattered vase

Screenshot from the video game Baldurs Gate 3, its that one screenshot before act 3 starts, shadowheart, gale, my tiefling with purple hair and a green Gothic outfit and Karlach stand on the wall

Screenshot from the video game Baldurs Gate 3 of the combat log from the house of grief fight, viconia summoned spirit guardians, it blew up my ghouls and the highlighted text on screen reads "Viconia DeVir exploded."

also I'm finally doing a patch 8 BG3 run and made it to act 3 as my mourn watcher Dee (death cleric/necromancy wizard) so here's how its going

I'm a sucker for synths so it was always gonna be a winner for me but I adore the uniqueness of each song and I kinda appreciate that its different to the first three games?

idk, where the dead must go is one of my fav soundtrack songs in years tho if I'm honest

it's almost a year since release now and the veilguard soundtrack is still in the top 3 for my monthly listens, I'll stand by my love for not the chosen one till I die

Cole, Solas, and Mordin from Mass Effect were me doing it NOT on purpose and then being confused when people told me they were autistic-coded, because they were all just different aspects of me.

also a concept for trans femme lords of fortune:

inlaid jewels on the base of their dilators

art concept for trans veil jumper rook:

"I got top surgery in Arlathan Forest and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.
Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

cannot believe the internet did not tell me lin manuel miranda was in house md

did a triple take like wtf

this is such a niche post but I do fear that Emmrich Volkarin is a "I Can Hear the Bells" from Hairspray sort of man

the man feels like the kind of person to fall in love at the drop of a hat

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

This song organically came up on my shuffle today and so i listened for the first time and holy shit its so DA
