I gave in and am sharing this list now. Potentially long post below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Astarion
And my running feet could fly Each breath screaming "We are all too young to die" ...
Gone are the days of begging, the days of theft No more gasping for a breath The air has filled me head-to-toe And I can see the ground far below I have this breath and I hold it tight And I keep it in my chest with all my might
Gale
*for best listening experience please substitute Midas for Mystra in your head
The looking glass, so shiny and new How quickly the glamour fades I start spinning, slipping out of time Was that the wrong pill to take? ...
This is a gift, it comes with a price Who is the lamb and who is the knife? Midas is king and he holds me so tight And turns me to gold in the sunlight
Karlach
Seven devils all around me Seven devils in my house See, they were there when I woke up this morning I'll be dead before the day is done ...
They can keep me out 'Til I tear the walls 'Til I save your heart And to take your soul And what has been done Cannot be undone
Lae'zel
*my favorite F&TM song ever for my favorite origin character :)
Like the stars chase the sun Over the glowing hill, I will conquer Blood is running deep Some things never sleep Suddenly I'm overcome Dissolving like the setting sun Like a boat into oblivion 'Cause you're driving me away Now you have me on the run The damage is already done Come on, is this what you want? 'Cause you're driving me away
Shadowheart
*this is just the universal song for religiously traumatized characters
And it's my whole heart Weighed and measured inside And it's an old scar Trying to bleach it out And it's my whole heart Deemed and delivered a crime I'm on trial, waiting 'til the beat comes out ...
And it's my whole heart While tried and tested, it's mine And it's my whole heart Trying to reach it out And it's my whole heart Burned but not buried this time I'm on trial, waiting 'til the beat comes out
Wyll
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back And given half the chance would I take any of it back? It's a fine romance, but it's left me so undone It's always darkest before the dawn And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me Looking for heaven, for the devil in me But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

And that's all! I might do a second part for some none-origin characters if I find the inspiration. Thank you for bearing with me if you made it this far :)
Sooo I heard there was some demand for more shartwolf
Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be
Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free In the silver moonlight I can breathe
me, halfway through listening through a song: hmm this might have otp potential
*restarts song but this time listening with Blorbo Intent
HADES II - Athena, Goddess of Wisdom
Dusty I have an important question :D : Do you think Shartwolf’s fur would be black or silver; if it starts out black, do you think it suddenly switches color like her hair when Selune happens
I definitely envision her fur as all black in the beginning, and I have sketched up a crack design of her with a white skunk stripe post selune lmao, because in my head i rationalised that her body hair would remain black?
BUT i definitely LOVE the all white/silver fur!!! it's my personal preference!
Lmao yep pretty much XD
Birding is your kind of hobby if you get a visceral high from doing this
I made this comic for the literature festival ‘Québec en toutes lettres'. If you are in la ville de Québec, I believe you can find this comic displayed on a large panel or as a free postcard in these cute vending machines they’ve set up around the downtown. I don’t actually have proof of either, so if you are in Québec and you see my comic in the wild, please send me a photo!
The theme of this year’s festival is ‘climbing the light’ based on a line of poetry from Jean-Paul Daoust. My comic is a pretty abstract take on that. I was thinking about how great art can inspire people all over the world to create art, and how that art can then inspire future artists and so on, making this unending giving-and-receiving of light through our history. I was also thinking about birds (as I do sometimes), and how they do a similar thing with their songs.
The bird I’ve painted here is an Eastern Whip-poor-will, a night singer.
My personal favorite example: Opal-crowned Manakin :D (photo by Luis Morais on eBird)
The feathers on its head are among the most reflective substances found in nature. Their reflective index is higher than artificial mirrors. It looks white on most photos because cameras can't even capture how brilliantly iridescent they look in person.
birds have truly mastered feathers like what do you Mean they can be shiny. how fucking cool is that
"Soon my love we will join the others under the museum lights, but for now, under the starlight, you are glowing"
The last Passenger Pigeon and last Carolina Parakeet on earth both died at the Cincinnati zoo in the early 1900s.
