Have you seen Nosferatu yet? 🫠

Digital painting of a colossal half man, half sea creature, encountering a small fishing boat, piloted by a single fisherman. The sea creature is a man with long wavy hair; his human torso breaching the water surface, and his cephalopod half submerged in water, his gigantic tentacles conjuring violent waves that accost the unfortunate seafarer.

Touched up an old painting as a warmup and got carried away with it. Monsters and rough paints, so why not!

My guy friend expressed confusion about the rise of monster/robot romances, esp geared for (mostly) women. He doesn’t get the appeal?

If any of you are into these, what’s the appeal for you personally? And I don’t mean humans with wings/elves or androids!! I need REAL freaks in here!

White text against a dark blue background describing the fic linked in the main post as a bulleted list of four items, followed by a summary of the work. Bullet 1. Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3) Bullet 2. Ship: Rolan/Tav Bullet 3. Word Count: 10,567 Bullet 4. Rating: Explicit After the tiefling refugees are ambushed on the road, Rolan drowns his sorrows at the bar and mourns the abduction of his siblings, Cal and Lia. He's certain of exactly how he failed them, but he also blames Tav, the sorcerer who fights with a sword, wasting talents that come naturally to her, but that he's had to work so hard for. Tav, a sorcerer whose wild magic surges have tormented her all her life, partly envies but mostly admires Rolan's mastery of the Weave. She could learn a lot from him. If only he didn't hate her so much. Below the text is an image of the character Rolan, from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.

That turned into a graveyard smash
But you don't really care for monsters, do you?
