That feel when someone compliments your dearest OCs 🥹🥹🥹
tabletop rpg obsessed, particularly lancer, icon, cain, the treacherous turn, eclipse phase, and pathfinder 2e. also a fan of the elder scrolls and star wars, an avid gamer and reader of webcomics, and when my brain cooperates, a hobbyist writer.
the urge to share my creations versus the horrifying ordeal of being perceived. fight of the millennium. anyway posts about my ocs are tagged with "mal's ocs" (minus the quotes). posts about or containing my writing are tagged with "mal's writing" (again, sans quotes). posts about my sci-fi setting specifically are tagged "the eating of names". i'd pin the latter two if they were actually among my top 15 most used tags lol. fair warning, my writing tends to be quite dark and deal with some heavy themes.
avatar is a much more humanoid depiction of my OC Arwen Tachht than is strictly accurate, made in this Picrew. (I have humanoidsonas for my non-humanoid OCs because I cannot draw them myself and must rely on dollmakers and such, hooray chronic pain)

that one of the protagonists of The Eating of Names is an uwu bean with damsel in distress vibes while also being 8 feet tall at the shoulder1, probably almost ten thousand pounds, and trained nearly from birth in personal combat.
Arwen Tachht may be more physically strong than their partner Cchaiit, but Ar is definitely the one who would get bridal carried off into the sunset2 and Cchaiit is definitely the one who'd do the carrying.
This is actually rather short for a varsit Ar's age. Cchaiit is quite a bit taller than Arwen.
Metaphorically speaking, of course. The anatomy of the varsit species isn't exactly conducive to bridal carrying, and even if it were, the sunset doesn't have the same romantic connotations to them as it does to us.
Dear FUCK I want to make my OCs Arwen and Cchaiit in BG3 so fucking badly and I don’t even know why exactly aside from “brain rot go brrrrrrrrrr”. And I think I’ve figured out how I’m gonna make them both in one save without requiring multiplayer (or that weird gimmick I heard about where you trick the game into letting you do multiplayer with yourself, which I’m fairly certain would melt my PC). Sure, Githyanki war cleric of Ilmater feels very janky flavor-wise even if it fits mechanically, none of the background choices feel quite right for Arwen (if only I could mix the lore of noble and urchin with the inspirations of folk hero), and I suspect with my very limited knowledge of the dream guardian that DG!Cchaiit will end up doing something very out of character eventually, but I really want to give it a shot. Just two problems: one, I have several other saves already and haven’t gotten past Act 1 on any of them yet (though Durge!Ghaurug is close I think), and two, it’s almost 11 PM and I gotta drive tomorrow morning, so I can’t start yet anyway…
