Vanya, a heavily tattooed Drow/Bhaalspawn snarling and glaring as she struggles against the ropes tying her hands behind her back

Vanya lying on a bed as her husband Astarion waxes poetic about his evil schemes

An older Vanya (now a vampire) in Ketheric’s armor, sitting in Ketheric’s throne. He’d be pissed

Vanya yelling at someone

#VanyaAncunín🔱🫀

I can’t believe I birthed Vanya two years ago

I can’t tell y’all how much she means to me. Developing her story and her relationship with Astarion has helped me process a lot of my anxieties about my place in the world as a woman, my sexuality, and my past relationships

#ocqotd

Guess your followers’ favorite of your OCs!

I’m still pretty small here but I noticed I usually get the most likes on my posts about Prospero or Ophelia. But I am curious about this lmao

*than SHE is now. Fuckin typos

Vanya, a heavily-tattooed Drow bhaalspawn vampire, looking worried

#VanyaAncunín🔱🫀

Vanya: “Gods, you too? I’m so sorry, I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Maybe if we look out for each other, we can direct that bloodthirst to the right targets. We’ll get through this together, I hope.”

#tavqotd #VicXorlarrin🔥🤸‍♀️

Vic: “Heh, are we related? Vanya’s got that too. And trust me, she was a lot worse than the is now. Don’t worry, I survived her back then, I can survive both of you now.”

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀 #VicXorlarrin🔥🤸‍♀️

Vanya was physically weaker, and her smites weren’t as powerful. She couldn’t tell if it was because of the tadpole or because she forgot her oath

Vic couldn’t cast a lot of her warlock spells, and her reflexes were shot. It took time to snap back

Top three non-Tavships:

Wyllach
Gale/Rolan
Shadowlach

Honorable mentions:

Shadow’zel
Jahstarion
Minstarion
Minsc/Nine-Fingers is funny to me
Wyllstarion
Jaheira/Minthara
Orpheus/Voss

Ophelia looking a little concerned and sporting a pink robe with intricate patterns

I’ve mentioned Ophelia’s spider Fifi, who’s roughly the size of a small dog, but she also has a teacup hellhound named Butter

(Bc I just thought of the concept of a “teacup hellhound” and couldn’t stop laughing)

Vesuvio sitting on the ground, sporting a purple and dark blue brocade jacket

Vesuvio got Prospero’s direwolf Princess after he died, since he was her favorite person other than Prospero

Azelma, a high elf/drow Bhaalspawn in brown leather armor with gold embellishments. She looks very cross

Azelma’s twin brother Cicero looking concerned, sporting black and dark green Drow leather armor

For Azelma and Cicero’s thirteenth birthday, their auntie Vic gave them hairless tressym kittens. Azelma’s is named Algernon, and Cicero’s is named Chewy

Cicero also has a hyena named Daisy who he found after he left home

Prospero, a high elf/drow/bhaalspawn Dhampir in fancy red armor

Prospero had a direwolf named Princess (yes, he was the one that named her)

She had accidentally gone through the portal Astarion uses to get from the palace to Mephistar, and Prospero insisted on keeping her

#tavqotd #keepingupwiththeancuníns

Now for the Bhaal bites!

Prospero: large dogs
Azelma: cats
Cicero and Vesuvio: both
Ophelia: small dogs and small dog-sized spiders

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀 #VicXorlarrin🔥🤸‍♀️

Vanya thinks cats are cuter but she’s allergic. Only hairless cats in the palace

Vic prefers dogs, especially little tiny ones that bark a lot

Sorry if this one’s been done before I forgor

#tavqotd

Is your Tav/Durge a cat person or a dog person? Or are they both?

(Vic is also more of a dog person)

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀 #VicXorlarrin🔥🤸‍♀️

Tara doesn’t care for Vanya and can’t place why (but also Vanya’s allergic anyway)

Vic always gave the best scritches behind the ears but now she’s on her shit list for breaking up with Gale two weeks into their engagement

Thank you, I felt like it was appropriate for this absolute disaster of a family

I always list them by birth order but for the uninitiated read the alt text for who’s who!

#tavqotd #keepingupwiththeancuníns

Prospero: Monster/sacrifice
Azelma: Weapon
Cicero: Shield
Vesuvio: Idol/weapon
Ophelia: Idol/trophy

And most of them assumed when they were “hunting” that was a euphemism and were surprised it wasn’t

When they met back up with the boys Vic said to Gale, “did you know Vanya and Astarion were *actually hunting?*”

Basically Vanya said if they were cured at the crèche she had two plans: (1) find out who she really is, and (2) kill Cazador if Astarion cannot, and then mid-sentence was like “oh, it’s because I’m in love with him.”

Everyone knew they were boinking bc they were Not Subtle about it

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀

Vanya confessed it while on a girls’ trip to the crèche (the gang had split up, and the boys were scouting out a way to the Shadow-Cursed Lands).

Lae’zel: Chk. You could have had me and you chose the elf?!
Karlach: I KNEW IT!
Shadowheart: Everyone knows that
Vic: Ew

Tbh Strahd probably has no idea who this new-money upstart even is

Like it’s fully understandable but also my version of Ascended Astarion is secretly a total weenie which is why he has his family do everything for him

Vesuvio, a high elf/drow/bhaalspawn Dhampir, scowling at something off-screen

Astarion, an elf vampire in black skeleton armor, looking like an asshole

#VesuvioAncunín🖤🤺

Vesuvio’s job is to travel around and negotiate alliances with (or neutralize) vampire lords around Faerûn in his father’s name. But he is expressly forbidden from entering Strahd’s territory

Because Astarion is TERRIFIED of him

She really needs to be careful what kinds of blood she drinks before bed

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀

You know, the usual. Killing her loved ones, giving birth to a pile of knives, at least one sex dream about the Emperor, which was weird

She’s also had a few where her children performed surgery on her while dressed as clowns, which is not ideal

#tavqotd #VanyaAncunín🔱🫀 #VicXorlarrin🔥🤸‍♀️

Vanya: rose tea with milk, honey, and arsenic, served in a pretty but slightly chipped porcelain cup

Vic: black coffee with three cigarette butts dropped in, which she drinks as she looks you dead in the eye

And trying to get the blood off her dress. They both agreed on this story: Vanya and Astarion were hunting together, Alfira found out Astarion was a vampire, and she ran away
