tyshalae

is it bad that i am obsessed with the decorative pillows? i wanna know who decides the decor around their home

Mz Amnesia

Definitely sleeps like crap in the Bhaalist AU, on top of everything else LOL

MEANBOSS

VERY well observed ;))) thank you!

MEANBOSS

i meant like, knowing that astarion's the "cuddle for ten minutes but now you go to Your side of the bed" type and in this timeline drow's treating him like a Very fancy body pillow let!! him!!! eep!!!!!

Bash Sídhe

He's also the big spoon in his "canon" path, to be fair...! Though I guess he's still a murderer in that one.... Nevermind, you might be onto something 😂

MEANBOSS

There shall exist no personal space, they shall be one in bed- they look delicious!

Lan

*deep breath* ...NOOOOOOOOOOOO (but you draw it so EXQUISITELY)

Kitty Dorkling

Oh the details, like how Astarion's arm over Drow's is drawn a little thicker there, showing how tensely Astarion presses his arm against his partner's. I didn't put together at first that Astarion is uncomfortable, though I did wonder why he looks to the side. I guess it's because it's how I cuddle, whenever someone holds me I literally hold them back. But makes sense, the vulnerability of being naked and hold on his neck/chin can make anyone uncomfortable, especially whenit'sb triggering traumatic memories.

Syntia

The possessive hand around the neck, the pose of being held from behind where you're most vulnerable, the lack of shirt... every line in Astarion's body spells discomfort. Incredible. And as a bonus, I'm absolutely obsessed with how you draw hair

NO TOO OVERHEATED TO SLEEP THIS IS HELL

BARBATUS

This is absolutely beautiful!!!

Gale

Oh gotcha, misunderstood. 🤗

CJ

chicken egg being the big spoon makes you evil vs being evil makes you the big spoon

Bash Sídhe

I mean I know that. But I also know that artists have other reasons to take the clothes off of the characters lmao So I'm trying to be careful with my interpretations to not force them on others 😅

LipiecMaj

Pretty sure that our artist has explained this elsewhere. Has to do with Astarion's attempt to not give up total control, I believe? Perhaps this can be verified.

CJ

you are the best 🖤

I don't want to read too much into things but... I noticed that in every other art with them in bed together (I'm not including nsfw) Astarion wears his shirt as pajamas. But here he doesn't have anything. It feels extra objectifying. I love this!

LipiecMaj

ough...

Nythero Lynx

Gods, this is such a cruel fate for anyone. But Astarion? For whom the control was such a big part of his arc? This feels extra cruel. I love it. I live for the drama, tragedy and for toxic (fictional!) relationships

LipiecMaj

10/10 🤌

Snugbug

Can you tell me how I should sleep now? (1am for me) I'll spend ages staring at them and following the lines. The hands🖤... the pose🖤.... Astarion's look🖤.... omfg I love lineart so much.

Bro, same though. I cant sleep while cuddlin'. Poor guy doesnt get an ounce of reverie these days, does he?

OogBoog

I was just thinking about them this heals me

NOOGIT9000

This is Soso so beautiful I want to print this out and frame it😭 love how their hair merges together love that small detail in particular. 1000/10 as always

steelsp

Astarion is visibly uncomfortable only because we know his actual preferred sleeping arrangement. Which is NOT to be held like a toy.

Takaani

ugh even in the Toxic Timeline they look cute 🥺 also i love how absolutely sliced to ribbons drow's arms look here

V.

This is how I look hugging my cat. (He doesn't like it)

steelsp

god he's insufferable. I want him so bad.
