Tav: Stelle - Tumblr Posts

Short tank for a couple of physically weak boys

Okay I'm gonna force myself to rest again I just really really want to draw again 🥲

For the 2 or 3 people who listen to the lore of my tavs, something has been cooking in my mind for a bit.

Dee's an Astarionmancer. She does love him dearly, I love the two of them so much. Lawful good detective x chaotic vampire gremlin? I love it

But then I do imagine she held a lot of grief over not being able to dissuade Gale from pursuing the crown, especially when he didn't know much about it or how to even control it, so the moment he picked up the pieces of the crown he instantly died. When she met his image at the reunion party and realized that the consequence of not getting to know him well enough, of not letting him read about the Annals of Karsus, was that she wouldn't be able to stop him from pursuing the crown and dying alone, I think she'd live with that guilt for the rest of her life. She would learn to eventually live with it, forgive herself, and live out the rest of her life with Astarion and die of old age.

But then what if she gets reincarnated back in time, and she realizes she can get to know Gale this time around? Be a better friend, know him better, listen to him, and truly understand him in a way she never did back then. What if she realizes how much she missed out on his company? How much she'd actually come to enjoy it?

What if in this AU, she starts to develop feelings for him, too? And she holds back. She feels like she's betraying the love she had for Astarion, even though that life is over and has reached its natural end?

Angst brainworms in an alternate universe where Dee gets to redo everything she failed to do in her past life.

Either that, or the idea that Dee's grief over unintentionally killing Gale being so great, that this carried over to my next Galemancing tavs/durge with the strong urge to protect him and keep him safe. Her strong platonic love for Gale carried over to Thalia, to Calliope, to Stelle and bloomed into romantic love for them.

I love Dee, my first BG3 OC.

Might make a comic about this if my hand allows it.

A sleeping cat, a simple prayer, the smile of a loved one, sometimes it's the little things that give you the strength to carry on another day

A bit of a vent drawing just to get some feelings out. I pray we all find comfort in little gestures and little things like these day to day :)

Embrace

Bit of a self-indulgent, vent-ish drawing

Happy Anniversary to BG3!!!

Because of BG3, I now have these two constantly spinning in my head

Based off of this ask (thank you anon)

Also if anyone knows how to find and add bass-boosted microwave sound effects to this that'd be swell-

Actually, speaking of the anniversary, here's the Stormweave doodle that started the Gale brainrot:

Here's what propelled the tee-dohrnii blog:

And here's my current fave and more recent doodle!

And before BG3, I've been pretty down on my art and not very motivated to draw, but then Gale happened!! It's been very fun since then :)

The culprit (1/2) of the shojo Gale drawings in my Gale doodles posts

These ones

FELLAS I BEG YOU LOOK AT WHAT MY FRIEND EDITED

Actually this came to me suddenly....

Culprit? (2/???) of the shojo Gale drawings??

I finally finished Bridgerton season 3

"How lucky I am to stand by your side and soak up even a little bit of your light."

To my Oath of the Ancients ("Be The Light") Cleric of Lathander (Morninglord) gnome Stelle?

Who has experienced loss and heartbreak and took up the Oath to protect the light in others that she herself found was lacking in hers?

To have someone bask in that little bit of light that she held left and revel in it like it's sunlight?

Yeah I'm gnawing at the bars of my enclosure trying NOT to draw the Bridgerton poll results rn

What's Stelle's and Gale's favourite trait of one another? i adore stelle btw

Oh thank you!! Stelle's my favorite child for sure (don't tell the others)

Stelle -

Physical trait: Gale's eyes. Not just cause they're baby cow eyes, but because Gale's eyes convey so much. They're expressive and honest. She may end up hearing and understanding his words differently, but when she looks at his eyes, she'll know what he actually meant.

"I love you" - but does he really? One look in his eyes and it's a clear answer: yes, he does.

Non-physical trait: Gale's willingness and eagerness to just be present. Stelle craves security so much. She's experienced loss, she's experienced grief, and she tends to push herself more than she needs to in order to protect the light, protect the people, protect nature - but is there anyone there for her?

And before meeting Gale, she was completely alone, with only nature and her duty to her oath and the Morninglord as her comfort, which was fine at the time, but once she experienced Gale's love and care? She just broke. To know that someone wants to be there and to stay when she's lost loved ones and left behind by others? It still makes her cry thinking about it.

Gale -

Physical trait: He probably also likes her eyes, but more than that, I think it might actually be Stelle's scar on her face. I like to imagine he probably likes to touch her face and feel the texture of it. It's a testament to what she's been through, a reminder her strength and resilience that he loves. It reminds him to make sure to shower this woman with love, making sure she knows that every flaw, every imperfection, everything about her is loved by him.

And it reminds him that she's imperfect and mortal. It's not like Mystra's perfect projection, her godly mystique, but it's real, and it's perfectly Stelle.

Non-physical trait: Her warmth. She may stumble sometimes when trying to do the right thing, but she always wants and always tries to be kind to people, even if they have different backgrounds or beliefs. She wants to make sure people feel loved and cared for, though often forgetting to give that same love and care for herself, so he enjoys stepping into that role of giving her that same love and warmth in return.

==========

When you put two nerds who have an eagerness to please and show love to others while neglecting themselves, you get Gale and Stelle basically

I hope this was a good answer! And that I made sense 🫠

Yeah, that protecting each other with shields and counterspells post of mine is still in my head.

I saw this post and it got me thinking (because I can't write and I take too long to draw so gonna put this out there)

Gale x Stelle (my tav) of course because they're all I think about

"Until we wake, my love."

Modern AU. Gale is a professor. He's going through the motions of life. He's... content (he thinks), he's fulfilled, but he doesn't exactly feel whole in a sense. There's a presence he always finds in his dreams. Someone he longs for but doesn't even know. Someone who makes his heart race, ache, full and empty, and he has no clue why. Someone who only exists in his dreams, and yet the feelings overwhelm him.

But then some random stranger in the street. A bump, a glance, a noise - whatever caught his attention, and suddenly, his heart is beating. All it took was a simple touch, or the sound of her voice, or a color he associated with her - something so small set his heart beating as if his heart had only just learned how to beat.

Suddenly, it felt like all of his life, he's been asleep, and in this moment, he finally woke up.

Because finally, they met again.

"Until we wake, my love."

Until We Wake - WIP

Will I finish this? I mean, I hope so. I'll switch between digital and traditional to get the ideas out - depending on which works best for me for certain scenes :)

(Also I did the text digitally)

Thank you kiss

Not sure if canon, but wanted to draw Stelle giving Gale a kiss on the cheek as thanks before they were even a couple - it was super effective! Gale is now paralyzed!
