The Collection Is Complete!!! This Series Of Portraits Took So Long 😭 But I Am Happy With How They

what is it with me and women with black/white hair and facial scars

Shadowheart, Cassandra: Loves smutty books, religious, can be religious leaders (and will not marry you sad), curt and no nonsense, easily annoyed

Ciri, Cassandra: Fights melee well (sorry Shadowheart), royalty/noble but rejects it, very long ass names, normie ears

Shadowheart, Ciri: were pawns for greater powers, bi/pan (book ciri was at least), brilliant green eyes, betrayed by an elf/drow, elven blood (ciri sorta does), weird about drowning (book ciri)

All three: loves smudgy, black eye shadows, softies underneath, traumatic childhoods, will backslap you like the lil bitch you are, lives in a very unsafe fantasy world, had nice male mentors

The trifecta big cvnt energy 🤌👸💃

PS. I was robbed of white hair Cassandra

Orin gives me nightmares

I think the people that are obsessed with her give me more tho 😳

How you screamed as my knife slit your skull, your brain juices sticky and sweet.

Shadowheart in the game time period:

Shadowheart in the epilogue time period:

Please God , take away Chappell Roan’s pain, double it and give it to mrbeast.

would also 100% immediately drop to my knees and worship isobel

was very triggered she wasn't a romance option until I met aylin, then I felt guilty

Ultimately, Dame Aylin is the single most relatable character in BG3, because I, too, immediately after laying eyes upon the wonder that is Isobel Thorm, would rush to divest myself of my knightly accoutrements and the divine trappings of my lofty station, only to fall to my knees in yearning supplication, eternally awed by her wisdom and beauty.

I really don't hear enough people talk about the fact that Shadowheart was not only brainwashed as a child, but had her memories repeatedly wiped. This isn't just your run of the mill reeducation. Like we're talking about having your brain literally tampered with by magic on a metaphysical level which is so incredibly violating and just on a completely different level than the typical indoctrination you see an average cultist goes through.

Your memories and lived experience is fundamentally responsible for shaping the kind of person you are. We see how important memories are with Durge because once they lost their memories, they were no longer the same person and became someone entirely new. Shadowheart was frequently subjected to memory wipes since she was kidnapped as a child, forced to adopt Sharran dogma, and every time she started remembering things about her past or strayed from their teachings, they'd take her memories away again. Imagine the only memories you're allowed to keep are the ones your abusers let you, as they continue to alter your perception of reality in order for you to stay obedient to their control. This is gaslighting on a level we have literally never seen before irl.

It's no wonder Shadowheart says the things she says, and yet, somehow, against the strict doctrines and manipulation that's been hammered into her for decades, she always ends up reverting back to her true self. From Viconia's journal:

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't erase the good in her. It's honestly impressive Shadowheart is able to fight the brainwashing to this extent. And when she's left alone for once with people who are patient with her and make her feel safe, when she's given enough time to find herself again without being reset back to square one every time she gained an inch? She thrives.

also I've had tumblr for like 3 days now and the fact that all their recommended posts and ads are Shadowheart related feels like I'm being targeted when I've posted TWICE
