You're Always Obsessed With Levi's Waist.

Some of you would not survive waiting months to years for a WIP to update.

Look at me, listen to me: A couple of months is way too early to think a fic is abandoned or dead. A year is often too early. Internalize this.

Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

His beta designs are just him experimenting with styles as he grows up (credit to @cyanidas for the ideaaaa (๑ゝڡ◕๑))

From 11 y/o to 17/18 y/o

okay i know astarion can potentially drain the mc to the point of death if they allow him to drink from them... BUT the persuasion check they have to pass to convince astarion to stop is only 5.

yeah it's higher than say a 2 but i still think this number is CRAZY LOW for a vampiric spawn who has been starved for centuries and has subsisted solely on the blood of vermin ever since he was turned. like this was his FIRST drink of PEOPLE blood, and all mc has to do basically is ask him nicely to stop. sorry to the people who failed the check OBVIOUSLY and this isn't saying it's not fucked up that he killed some of y'all (or that i wouldn't be annoyed if i ever fail and he kills my mc lmao). i'm just saying.. it's a REALLY low number for someone who's been starved and abused for so long, and is driven out of their mind w/ painful cravings every second of the day.

honestly i feel like it speaks to the little crack in astarion's emotional armor, and the tiny kernel of goodness beneath it that cazador couldn't crush.

Why are you looking at me like you care?

Thinking about how spawn Astarion seems into cradling his SO's cheek/head (in the graveyard scene, and in the new patch 6 kiss).

Maybe this is an affectionate instinct borne out of this being the first person he really cares for and he just wants to hold them like that, like they're something precious, something he wants so close. The same way someone's hand might twitch to hold their lover's, Astarion feels this itch in his fingertips to let their cheek rest in his palm, so, so gently.

And he hasn't really had that itch like that before. A performative instinct, sure, he could pull those sorts of moves in his sleep, he knows them so well. But this is different. This is what he wants. And this is one of the first real affectionate moves he tends to initiate as he eases into being able to explore that freely.

When he pulls away in the new patch 6 kiss, his hand lingers in front of him, like it's still holding onto something, still holding onto that touch/warmth like he doesn't really want to let it go, but he also seems sort of struck/tickled by the not-wanting-to-let-go of it all. How novel. How sweet.

But also, maybe it's a grounding thing for him, as well, to keep himself tethered to that sweet moment with the one he loves, and not awash in so many memories he'd rather forget.

Idk I love how much effort and thought went into all these interactions and how much it speaks to the characters 🥰😭🥹

Y’all my favorite headcanon that I saw is that Aizawa is quiet and barely talks when he’s in public, but when he’s at home he just goes to yap town w/ his husband :*)

i’ve been talking to professional taka enjoyers for the past couple of days, and one thing we’ve concluded is that taka actually wouldn’t know what to do if he came across someone crying and/or having a panic attack.

maybe he would have an idea of what to do, but it’s not the right idea. he would make things so much worse.

dude saw makoto bummed after losing sayaka and responded by saying “at least you don’t have a corpse rotting in your bathroom anymore” (paraphrasing)

if he saw that you were sad, he would say the most out of pocket shit to you in a happy tone and then look at you like this:

only hope he has at making you feel better is the chance that whatever he says is enough to shock you out of your current state and leave you confused instead of sad.

love you king.
