so who wants to hear about my idea for an AU
List of things that sparked joy in my little Ancient culture enthusiast heart:
The moths in the Ancient Urban are essentially pigeons, including the fact some of them are tagged.
Finally a proper and canon confirmation that Ancients really did have pets, positive relationships with animals and weren't Only stuck in glass cubes on display like Moon implies once. It can also mean that they did research into animal behaviour, such as tracking migrating and such. From how biologists are in real life, we can assume they were even genuinely passionate & happy about these type of things.
All the pottery and plates in that workshop room,
A confirmation that they did have paper and used scrolls for writing stuff down,
alongside with the pearls that they, too, could perhaps freely read or one of those things on the shelf there might be a pearl reader, if it is more technologically based (CDs type information keeping)
I also wonder if those things there are books- with stone tablet pages or paper ones? digital things hidden in hardcovers?- or something else entirely. Do they maybe hold orders for earthenware?
The masks on the wall, they feel so real compared to the murals.
Are they of the same person or is it of the workers there or maybe a family? Some of them look similar to those in the murals.
While at the concept of family, they had creches, but it doesn't sound like it was an outright job in the sense that they seem to have been community-raised (I fuckin' knew it I can put down my tin hat now).
They had hard beds, similar to what used to be used in old china iirc, along with that pillow/headrest
This kinda thing. They were made out of porcelain to keep the head cool in the night, but I think some where out of wood too.
The bustling of the city.
The normalcy of people going about their day, talking, the vehicles zipping by (they had some kind of motor vehicles!!!!).
The architecture, in both the Ancient Urban and the Outer Rim (those roofs made the right side worth it to me, that's how much I love these bastards)
I find it very funny that what looks to me like a REALLY poor ass cable management seems like the height of decorative prowess to them. Also some insight into how the void ,,bath" actually looked like.
The toys... just the toys.
Alongside these dialogues
And the one about him remembering the halls he ran through- oh when I say that I adore the fact that this Echo is a kid stuck here, lonely and vulnerable with polite speech not plaguing it.
The original Echoes combined with the Iterators' distaste for the species as whole painted the Ancients as these heartless things lazer focused only on the Ascension, religion and rituals. There wasn't much space for thinking about them in a more human manner and I feel like most of the fandom did depict the Ancients only as the impression was given. Bunch of posh full of themselves suckups, uncaring much for one another or anything around them.
I get kinda annoyed when there's an insistance that some kind of sapient species has done only bad. With humans, too, I just about had it with the demonization, negativity and staggering blindness to the beauty and good we can and do create- in both fiction and reality. Same goes for these dumbasses.
Disko kid here begs to challenge that impression. He's lost and alone and kind of scared, stuck here not knowing how to move forward. He mourns the regularity and simplicity of his room, the nostalgia of shelves and toys, the golden sunrays sneaking in through the windows. He brings a certain humanity into the consideration of Ancients.
That maybe, only maybe.. they deserve to be mourned.
Very normal Lamb gets the ability to fight the Gods

the Emperor merry band inspired by @ju-liczka 's
I finally finished the quest with Ansur and I’m so surprised that people say “well that was the moment when I knew I will turn against the Emperor!”
Excuse me but to me Ansur seemed to be a phenomenal asshole not even to Balduran (which was of course he was as most lawful goods eventually do in my opinion, and that’s why I don’t like this alignment ) ,but to Tav!
Spoilers ahead.
He literally treats Tav like dirt. He immediately takes over Tav’a body, in a very rude way, he ignores Tav’a resistance, he literally discards Tav’a free will and agency because he’s too busy with his anger and revenge.
While Tav came to ask for help. In the hardest of time for BG that Ansur swore to protect.
Tav completes the trials, proves to be worthy, and Ansur just throws them around as a puppet and then attacks them because they came along with the Emperor.
I know they are a Zombie Wyrm, but don’t they say that even if their body is dead, their soul is still unbeaten? And so what? Their soul once again decides just to kill someone who doesn’t seem “good enough” or is under a “wrong influence”?
I mean, he can clearly see that Tav still has free will and they are NOT enthralled when he literally rips into Tav’a mind and possesses his body. And they can also see that Tav’a intentions were genuine. They didn’t mean to harm Ansur or to use him for evil. And what does Tav get?
An assault on their conscience and then an attack without even trying to talk. Maybe persuade Tav that the Emperor is a bad ally. “Dear Ansur” doesn’t even consider Tav worthy of a conversation before trying to kill them.
And I must believe he was on the right when he tried to mercy kill Emperor in his sleep?
No way. This game has taught me that things often are not what they seem and not what we are taught to believe they were.
There’s a not you can find that Ansur was Balduran’s friend and he swore to protect the city until a horrible treason happened.
Well I think the horrible treason was trying to kill your dearest friend in his sleep even though he clearly kept his conscience and asked you to leave and be happy anywhere else if you can’t accept this new form.
Ansur could have at least turn it into a fair duel.
Nothing will convince me trying to mercy kill someone you love in their sleep is anything but a horrible treason. But anyhow, even if Ansur was really as good as everyone believes him to be, and Balduran was not wrong about him (which might be true, I hope it's true), after his death his anger completely took over his soul. And he lost himself it to it. Ironically, he's much less of who he was and what he cared for, than Emperor who's an Illithid for a very long time. Because Emperor still genuinely cares for Baldur's Gate and wants to protect it. While all Ansur wants is revenge for someone who literally didn't want to be slaughtered. And he's completely fine with killing a total stranger who came seeking help and actually proved to be a worthy hero. What a heart of gold he has, oh my oh my.
OMG 👀👀👀👀
Some Emperor emotes/stickers?? Made for the Calamari Fan Club discord. Feel free to save/use them!
If I make anymore I'll post them.
They were made with these F2U bases here - https://toyhou.se/9851236.free-resourcesnew-species/20338254.humanoid-bases
The Emperor's timeline
or: im so normal about this illithid. wait, no come back-
balduran is fucking around and comes back with a shitton of gold. builds a gate for the port. that becomes baldur's gate
balduran leaves for another expedition. shipwrecks on the way back
werewolf island
goes to moonrise towers because the bitch is obsessed with fame and fortune. a true adventurer
gets caught by a fucking illithid colony and infected.
spends 10 years under the control of the elder brain there
ansur shows up and saves him with the power of bronze dragon dick love and friendship
ansur tries to find a cure no matter what. balduran is an anomaly, having kept the memories and personality of who he was prior to the infection, something that just. does not happen. ever.
balduran is like. fine. with being an illithid. ansur isnt.
ansur decides to mercy kill balduran in his sleep. balduran kills ansur in self defence
balduran makes a life in baldur's gate, and basically since he HAS to eat brains in order to survive, he "eats criminals' brains"
i think thats how he got involved with the knights of the shield, a neutral to lawful evil organisation that controls the interests of rich and powerful people
stelmane, a devil worshipper of Gargauth's cult (aka an archdevil turned deity of evil, corruption, trickery, greed and envy) was leading the knights of the shield. that was before he started controlling her
balduran, as an illithid would, developped a weird sort of. pet fondness for his thrall. which makes honestly that whole thing so pathetic. but she was an evil devil worshipping politician so it was a girlboss move of them actually-
balduran gets captured by gortash sometime during gortash's rise to power / setting up of the absolute plan. i think it's around when stelmane started getting worse - a note in an aide's journal marks that she got worse when the "strange visitor stopped coming to see her"
balduran is now under the control of the elder brain again. who is so so so pissed at the Chosen.
the Absolute Nether Brain sends dreams of the Astral Prism to the Chosen, so they get worried about it and want to send someone to find it (hence the cultists on the ship)
the Nether Brain sends him specifically to the strike team on the nautiloid
the Chosen also make a deal with Sharr about helping them retrieve the Astral Prism. sharr double crosses them. that's how shadowheart gets on that thing
that nautiloid is the one the game starts on, escaping from the githyanki after stealing the prism
balduran/the emperor sees an opportunity for freedom and just fucking hides inside the Prism
The Emperor, Orpheus, and Raphael fighting over who can manipulate, mansplain, malewife their way in the most bisexual way possible into controlling the Crown of Karsus

Throw back to this masterpiece
Dildo Generator
Online 3D experiment by Ikaros Kappler which is described as a “Extrusion/Revolution Generator” ….
Created with three.js, you can alter the bezier curves and angle of the form, and is designed with 3D printing in mind (models can be exported and saved, as well as calculated weight in silicone).
Try it out for yourself (if you wish) here
*knock knock*
“Anyone there?”
“Ah ha! You are here. Won’t you let me in?”
“No? I’m afraid you won’t have a choice in the matter.”
“That should do it!”
“Now, now. Don’t be afraid.”
“I’m only here for your life.”
Sneak peak of a piece I’m working on currently :)
Have this real shitty sketch I did a couple weeks ago.
Enderman Husbands aka Scav and his husband Dude. They are going for a mini-adventure near their home in the mountains in the background. This one is my first attempt at a landscape and I think drawing to characters interacting? Idk but I had a lot of fun doing this for myself and Dude. I also didn't draw Scav as an actual enderman because I wanted to practice hair and kept laughing every time I made him bald like he canonically is lmao. For info on Dude's character: He is part enderman and goblin (I'm second-guessing the last part because I'm an idiot but we vibe bois). He married Scav to help him out. their relationship started platonically but ended up romantic.
(Cheeky update bois, our characters are both ace and own a “sex” dungeon which is actually just a storage room haha.)
Scav angst because why wouldn't there be. This sketch was inspired by a drawing I saw on Pinterest. I added my OC's twist to it. Yeah that's it lmao
This is an old OC of mine called Elijah or Eli for short. He is a part of an abandoned AU I and one of my best friends played on Minecraft. He is the son of my Persona character Scavenger. According to the lore I wrote for him, his white splotches are caused by a deficiency that affects pigment and height. Elijah has an adopted younger brother called Bamboo who is a prince of dwarfs. They both became orphans after bandits raided their parents camp. Eli made it his personal mission to keep Bamboo safe and acts as his bodyguard. I don't really know what to say about Elijah. He can be rude and ignorant towards new people but kind and respectful to old friends. He wields an axe his father gifted him and a large long shield. urghhh Yeah, that's it really. He isn't too interesting of a character in comparison to Scav... well in my opinion lmao.
important message 🍵🪲🔪
