“s’cold,” he mumbles, and you raise your mug up to your mouth to hide your grin.
“maybe you should put on a shirt, then,” you reply. he’s in nothing but a pair of flannel sleep pants, and though you’re not complaining about his bare chest, the solution to his problem is fairly obvious.
“you’re wearing, like, all of my clean ones.”
“oops. too slow.”
“you’re lucky you look better in them than i do.”
When you met Natsuo two years ago as a first year university student, you’d never have guessed how goddamn cold the man gets in the winter.
The first year you simply laughed at his daily whining about the temperature every time you went outside; he’d drag you to get hot drinks at cafés and show up to study sessions with no less than five layers on his torso to defend against the chill outside. Now, though—a solid few months into dating him—his go-to way of warming up is leaching heat from you.
It’s not like you’d complain. Sure, it’d be a bit nicer in the summer, but any excuse to let your boyfriend cling to you is a good one. You just make sure there’s plenty of blankets on the bed when you spend the night.
This morning, you wake up under the aforementioned plenty of blankets with Natsuo curled up against your chest as close as humanly possible, nothing below your eyes above the blanket—but that’s enough to see the heavy snowfall through the window on the other side of the bed you’re laying in.
Despite Natsuo’s distaste for the temperature, you’ve always loved the winter. Waking up like this, the snuggly heat of the blankets and your boyfriend’s broad chest against you, is undeniably something you’ve been enjoying since early November.

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.
poor gale :'(
- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly
- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!
- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)
- (idk how credible this is but i think this position also leaves the person sitting pretty vulnerable to attacks compared to a cross legged sit? in that sense it would be an even greater show of deference) edit: apparently this isn't exactly correct! I think this applies mostly for inexperienced people, but those who are trained a) their bodies adapt to the discomfort and b) they use techniques to get back up without using hands
it must’ve been a heavy burden.
A short Baldur's Gate 3 comic about Kith'rak Voss, Prince Orpheus, and grief.
Words and art by me.
8 pages below the cut.
I have....so much to say about these two, their beginnings, those millenias apart, Voss being the fabled destroyer of Prince Orpheus while beneath it all, being his voice, truth, and living breathing hope.
Then Orpheus' freedom, the hope of their people's freedom and a better future, and beneath all that, what it just means for them.
Two people who were - are we, again?
Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed. <3
