Trying to keep my spirits up for the new year, so I bought my planner for 2026... and I put a personalized message on the cover to remind me of the energy I will take into the new year -- "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc" ("We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.").

These two donuts smile around each other constantly; they are twitterpated with one another. I imagine Dandy smiles the brightest when Astarion plays with her hair. She's very particular, & no one is allowed to mess with her hair, but she lets Astarion style it sometimes, & it feels very nice. 2/2

#Tavember Day 30: Smile

Lots of things make Dandy smile: Friends, family, food, flowers, and other stuff that doesn't start with 'f.' She smiles at the feeling of sunshine or cool rain on her face. She's a fairly cheerful person, and (in my opinion) she has a very cute smile.

In any case, it's tea and toast ('cause Astarion can make those without burning anything down) and soft music and warm blankets. I think their philosophy is celebrating equals quiet and comfort 'cause true comfort is rare when you're adventuring all the time. 2/2

#Tavember Day 27: Backpack

Dandy doesn't have a backpack, but she does have a Basket of Holding. It's got her instruments, sheet music, make-up, sewing kit, costumes, her whole wardrobe, books, snacks, wine, etc. Anything she finds that she wants to keep goes in there. 1/2

#TavQOTD Has your Tav/Durge ever switched up their hair?

Dandy's normal style is either down with two "bump-ups" on the side or full pigtails. She loves decorating it with ribbons, fake fruit, random things, etc. She's got so much hair that she can sculpt with it, creating a literal hair-bow.

#Tavember Day 25: Style

Dandy's style is a combination of Elegant Gothic Lolita dresses, and Tolkien-ish Hobbit fashion/cottagecore... 1/2

Spike with @brianmichaellynch.bsky.social's characters Tok, Kaori, Beck, and everyone's favourite Splendeen demon -- BETTA GEORGE!

... I have no idea what's going on with the sakura and the hydrangeas. I made it 15 years ago when I was just learning how to colour in vector programs.

Sometimes, I remember that I used to make art all the time, and I'm just like, "Where did that person go? Why can't my brain do that anymore?" I don't have any answers, but, damn, I wish I could do this again. You'd all have to suffer through so much Astarion art.

Me: Why the hell did you send me a pic of Noel and/or Liam Gallagher? *looks again* "Oh, mighty Zeus, that's Neil..."

#Tavember Day 24: Pastime

It would probably be too obvious to say music for Dandy, but it legitimately is her whole world -- her passion, her trade, her joy. In the spirit of something different, she also loves reading (best place to get inspiration) and baking. 1/2
November 24, 2025 at 10:26 PM
#TavQOTD

As a DnD player, DMs and other players have criticized me for making Dandy "too cute," "too nice," or "too optimistic." Dandy would take comments like those as compliments. However, my curmudgeonly self is like, "Yes, I know; my power fantasy is being unburdened by chronic depression."
November 24, 2025 at 4:28 AM
It goes without saying that Dandy finds Astarion beautiful. At first, she thought him merely handsome, but love made him beautiful. She loves the way his hair curls around his ears, the barely visible beauty mark underneath his left eye, all the nuanced lines of his face, even his pronunciation. 2/3

#Tavember Day 23: Beauty

For Dandy, beauty lays as much in the context as in the outward appearance of something. There is as much beauty in song composed with care or bread baked with love as there are in flowers, jewels, and ornate buildings. 1/3

#TavQOTD

Dandy is a combination of plum gin fizz and cherry hard candies -- bubbly, refreshing, yet decadent (according to Astarion anyway).

#TavQOTD Your Tav/Durge has gained the ability to transform into a powerful legendary creature. Which creature do they become?

Dandy would become Clíodhna, benevolent Queen of the Banshees, using the song of her lyrical familiars to heal the sick and guide the lost.

#ESOFam

Astarlis made her own armour, bow, and daggers in a modified Dibellan style -- lots of silver embellishments, jewels, passion blossom motifs, etc. The one exception is her silver dragon pauldron, which was a gift from Queen Khamira after the events of Elsweyr.

#TavQOTD

I think I've made this joke before, but, if Dandy had shorter hair, her whole sense of style probably would have been less whimsical cottagecore and more Old Hollywood glamour. Her music too probably would have leaned into more sultry jazz lounge-singing.

#Tavember Day 21: Limit

If you want Dandy to break all composure and just rage, then try to pick her up. You'd be surprised how many people assume it's okay to lift her or carry her around "as a joke" because she's small and cute. If you try it, you can say farewell to your shins. 1/2

#Tavember Day 20: Tattoo

Dandy has no tattoos. Because she uses glamour magic, she could technically just conjure temporary body art whenever she wanted. If she did get a tattoo, it would probably be a cutesy design of a forest creature, like a medieval hedgehog stealing fruit or a groovy turtle.
