#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym #damonrex Dal's modern AU, Damon, texts like a stoic dad. Short sentences, proper grammar and punctuation, no emojis. The type to text "We need to talk." with no context, when all he needs is to know what you want from the store. At some point a friend tells him 1/2

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dalamus lived in Duthcloim of Menzoberranzan for most of his life! While his family wasn't wealthy, they did well for themselves with their jewelry trade, which Dal continued, even earning himself the reputation as the Best gemcutter and silversmith in Menzoberranzan. 1/2

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym #dragonblepswriting 2000+ words later :'D I got a little sleepy at the end so apologies if it feels rushed towards a conclusion. TW just in case for Dal being generally an anxious mess about love. write.ellipsus.com/edit/94825c8...

#wolqotd #dalamussarangerel Dalamus Sarangerel! Moonlight Paladin. Knight of Dalamud. Xaela Au Ra of the Steppes. Originally part of a tribe that peacefully worshiped Dalamud (so much so that he was named after it). BUT As Dalamud descended and when Bahamut broke free, his family's behavior 1/2

Dragonbleps! I love dragons a lot. And when animals blep (stick their tongue out slightly) it's cute! ❤️

#wolqotd I play a lot of games in theory :'D I tend to make a version of my blorbo, Dal, in a game & then become so obsessed with his personal story that i drop off from playing Actual Games for.. months, sometimes years, in favor of writing/drawing about him instead. But I'll list some faves!

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Kinda cheating but Nilaufein is hugely strange by Lolthite standards. Nil isn't a Lolthite. He's had to live as one for a while, but prefers to avoid cruelty where possible. He saw enough cruelty in Menzo that he came out on the other side wanting to help others. 1/4

The very thing you're afraid of, keeps you clean but unclear - is the dirt that you're made of, and that's nothing to fear. - that's why I'm at your window - 'cause you were never empty, and we've been here before - won't you hear me at your door - Augustine x Dolly #augustinetet #dollybard #myocs

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Most see Dal and assume Lolthite, and they're correct, and he unfortunately doesn't do anything to dissuade their prejudice. If anything, he encourages it. He wants the fear. They're not friends. But when circumstances are right, he can be thoughtful, even kind. 1/4

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal trances rather than sleeping for 200 years, but sees nothing during those trances. After finally getting tired of the silence, he tries this "sleeping" thing everyone else does. It's difficult to get into the habit of. When he finally does, he starts 1/3

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Tinged with a bit of angst, as always, bc Dal is so, SO afraid for a while of these foreign feelings, and Gloria is so, SO careful, trying not to scare him away. 1/2

#ocqotd #dalamusstrighym (for organization's sake) #dragonblepsart Kalanzar is transmasc! He was a Master of Crafts in House Strighym, specializing in the decorative arts of ceramics and painting! He was also briefly Dal's lover.

#ocqotd #damonrex #dragonblepsart Modern Dal (Damon Rex) is nonbinary and goes by both "he/him" and "it". He/him is used in most day-to-day for ease, but he DOES get great satisfaction being referred to as It. When he became a vampire, his idea of his own gender shifted, too.

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal used to think happiness would be going back to Menzo, his life returning to normal, back at his jeweler's job or, if lucky, back at his Matron's side. Maybe not even happiness, but what "should" happen. Menzo is where he "belonged" & he couldn't fathom otherwise. 1/

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal doesn't have good bedside manner and doesn't know any spells, so the best you're getting is potions/antidotes. Lower approval: "Not yet. I still have use for you." "Stand, damn you." "Have you no self-preservation at all?" "Only drink what you need." 🧵 1/3

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

Hi!! I'm encephalitis 🫡

No one came to help me. No one said a kind thing to me. The Gods? I prayed them all. None of them answered. Fate? Love? Tsh.... all this... is just a script. We all.... we are just words that no one will remember when the page will be turned #astarion #3drender #astarionbg3 #blenderart #blender

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym #dragonblepsart Not Dal-specific, as it's technically part of canon for all drow, but his eyes change color according to mood and health! More yellow = worse health, to TLDR it. At extreme ends of the spectrum, they glow. 🧵 1/5

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal doesn't trust most people to *heal* him, let alone them digging around in his skull. With a few exceptions, Dal doesn't care if others want to risk their eyes/brains, but he'll be the first to say "I told you so" when it goes wrong.

#ocqotd #nsfw #dalamusstrighym Dal is just above average at 6 inches, with some piercings near the tip.

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Technically, yes. While Dal was married to his Matron, he would occasionally sneak off with the Master of Crafts, Kalanzar, and have sex. In his defense, Matron Nedvyllanna truly was terrible to him beyond words. Abusive in many ways, though he didn't consider it so. 1/2

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal doesn't WANT to talk to anyone they've saved. He didn't want to save them in the first place. Hearing the praise or thanks just makes him uncomfortable. It doesn't match his worldview of how people "should" act towards a Lolthite drow. It makes him question.

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym #dragonblepsart The tattoo at his neck. HE will say it's because roses are his favorite flower. What he doesn't say is roses are his favorite because they remind him of his (presumed dead) brother, Nilaufein. It's marred by a scar from his Matron's whip. 1/2

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym (Except it's his brother) Nilaufein is actually largely self-taught, but if I had to choose one, his subclass would be College of Lore! After living under Lolthite rule for 100 years, Nil is desperate to dispel the lies he's been taught and learn more about the world. 1/2

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal does! I mean, the journal was stolen, but finders keepers right? At first, he writes "tactical" things about the Surface, things that might be useful to Menzo when he returns. But it slowly becomes a way for him to sort out feelings, and an artistic outlet. 1/3

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal tends to feel it in his lower back. While escaping the Underdark, an altercation with quaggoth resulted in a spinal injury which is a source of chronic pain. It worsens with differing barometric pressure, but also painful spasms can be triggered from shivering 😔

#dalamusstrighym #dragonblepswriting The "lines your character would say while healing another" (which I do intend to answer) made me think of how Dal reacts to *himself* being healed (with magic specifically). (Not well). Gloria and Flo are a friend's, Flo is a cleric.

I refuse to let Gullistan be my first finished WIP of the year but he's kicking around so I am intentionally not finishing these. Anyway; Gullistan Horne, the Dieback, in his fetid glory. #augustinetet

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym I've been fiddling with the idea of Dal accidentally getting drunk at the Tiefling Party. He overestimates how much Surface wine he could drink--also he was nervous in such a huge group and was relying on the wine to calm him down. A friend came up to him and-- 1/2

#ocqotd #dalamusstrighym #dalamusrex #damonrex #dragonblepsart This guy!! Actually BG3 Dal, TES Dal, and Modern Dal are all Bisexual!

#tavqotd Both Dolly and Auggie are quite mundane; Dolly has a little gap between their front teeth, and heterochromia in canon timelines for Volo related reasons. Augustine's eyes are all natural - everything about him is. There's nothing exceptional or magical about Auggie, he's just really tall.

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Bloodied, tired, and the third one was him *thoroughly* bruised up after the Bulette encounter in the Underdark hkjsdfg. Sorry Dal

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal's time has come!!! He's an expert.

The boys are getting a proper kiss portrait soon 💕 #ryldzyn #bg3oc

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal has been a Lolthite for his entire 200 years of life & has known nothing else. He's never had a reason to question it (such would be heresy). He thinks the fear made him observant, the unforgiving rites & rituals made him resilient, the cruelty made him strong. 🧵 1/2

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal used to have a House Insignia, enchanted with the minor powers of Blur, Shield, Levitate, and Stone Shape. He lost it when he was exiled and his attunement revoked, and has the burn scar to prove it. His piwafwi used to have magic, but exposure to the sun ruined that.

#dragonblepsart #dalamusstrighym Finished with about half an hour left of 2025. Happy New Year <3 May I draw these two MUCH more next year!

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym pros/cons to dating ✅Extremely loyal ✅Physically affectionate ✅Loves quiet moments together ✅Jewelry business, good money ✅Good sex ✅A good father ❌VERY slow to trust ❌Stubborn ❌Insecure ❌Has prejudices to work on ❌Lolthite trauma takes decades to work through

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Everyone, but we don't have time for that. Wyll. His goody-two-shoes-ness rubbed Dal the wrong way. It was annoying. But, in a strange way, it helped Dal trust him--even if it was due to flawed thinking on Dal's part, believing that Wyll was incapable of deceit/cruelty.

Artists, quote with something silly Old art of TES Dal being a supportive friend :) He's happy to help! #dragonblepsart #dalamusrex

#dragonblepsart #dalamusstrighym Finished with about half an hour left of 2025. Happy New Year <3 May I draw these two MUCH more next year!

surely i can get a new years drawing done before midnight (4 hours) not colored, just traditional "refined" sketch

#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym Dal will take any excuse to kiss Gloria! Though if Kalanzar is around, he might wanna get a kiss from Dal, too. Gloria's probably okay with it. ...Alright Astarion can have a kiss, too, since the vampire might ask a kiss from Gloria, and Dal refuses to be left out.

To my friends already in 2026, and those to join shortly behind - a happy new year! A new year's kiss from my darlings, Augustine and Dolly, who will see you next year. You guys are the best. ✨🫶 #augustinetet #dollybard
