Yup! They built their own sign language as he grew since they were outside of civilization. There was a short time where he would whisper as a kid, but since that still required getting full attention he opted to just sign fully. For others, he’ll write if they give him time to

His parents had to deal with the learning curve of getting him what he needed without the usual vocal cues, so everything took longer and put more stress on him. Once they got their system down, he was quickly a very curious baby

Nix was born in the forest where his parents made their home, but was born without vocal cords. Their child not making sound was a concern at first until they discovered he was in fact healthy. Due to this tho he was a bit of a fussy baby at the start -

So many tinies 🥹

Father, when does the flesh stop crawling?

#tavqotd Syvin would simply say “just keep going.” His past self wouldn’t even need words, simply seeing the age setting in on his future-self’s face would give him cause to believe he made it. The message would only add to it - he’s stubborn and devoted to a fault, confirmation would make him worse

Since I haven’t shared this one here yet I don’t think:

My durge Red getting distracted from reading with his fellow wizard. They like to sniff each other lol

and more protective of Astarion. It took him a while to realize he had gained real feelings - but he pushed them down anyway because he assumed he was pushing his old crush onto Astarion. Which ended up making it even more similar - at least until Astarion confessed and Syvin felt allowed to feel

#tavqotd Syvin started falling for #Astarion after the tiefling party - just drunk enough to let someone close, and it had been decades since he had a friend let alone a friendly touch. He felt *good* for once, and then he felt anger seeing the scars. Everything he learned after that made him more

And just the sketch

Sketched traditionally, colored digitally 💕 forgot how nice it was

Trying to get back to drawing, fought my brain to sketch and simplify, and actually won out mostly, so we have a successful day one of #HalsinWeek2025 !!

“Archdruid”

Leokian would stumble into a #Shadowheart romance if he wasn’t with Astarion. He doesn’t like the other two in the party, so he’d end up closest with her. It would be different than the in-game romance, and he’d have more layers of his issues to work on for opening up to her, but he’d get there

#tavqotd Syvin would have ended up with #Halsin. He was originally supposed to but even now, if he never stuck with Astarion he would have settled in with the fellow “old” elf, enjoying conversations and adoring his druidic priorities. He adores the druids back home, and Halsin is no different

Ahem. Oh no! He slipped on the sudden ice! What ever shall he do??

#halstarion #halsin #astarion

That’s how Astarion pampers Syvin - seeing his needs and seeing to them as the only person who truly can.

But Astarion also on rare occasion will plan a whole trip. First one is to visit the old party, of course.

Making it so Syvin is safe to be off and can truly be off, making decisions that are known to be good for and to him, and giving just enough pushback that Syvin allows himself the permission

So the best way to get him the rest he needs is to go behind his back and schedule a vacation. Mainly Astarion does staycations - keep him in the bedroom and order a bath, read a book aloud while he cuddles up, etc - making plans for Syvin to be off and everyone ordered to leave him alone.

Once they’re rid of tadpoles and settled into their home, Astarion can start to see Syvin truly melt at the end of his nights. But of course, things can still linger in his mind, people can interrupt, and Astarion can see him struggling when he can’t have his “off” time.

Astarion starts to really notice Syvin isn’t clinging to the sex but his time being submissive - now that they’re trying to “be something real,” Syvin feels more free to relax and trust. He is allowed to shut down, even partially in a hostile place, and the intimidating drow starts to feel small

Astarion notices pretty easily during their journey that Syvin almost clings to their time alone. At first of course he just assumes the man enjoys the sex and that’s the end of it - he never imagines the conversations mean more than just keeping close for more sex. But when sex is off the table…

Syvin needs to not be the one in charge, not be the one always making decisions, but he is also too dedicated to his job and the life he’s built for himself and his sister for centuries on the surface. He’s always got something running through his mind - plans and problems - and never truly off duty

#tavqotd The best way for Astarion to pamper Syvin is taking initiative in making plans and either fitting it into his schedule or being sneaky and making his schedule fit the plans. Forcing Syvin into a vacation is the ultimate way to get him truly relaxed

Not really lol for tossing just photos it’s fine, but trying to type *and* add tags is impossible for me lmao
