#tavqotd not everyone's OC relates to their lived experience, but sometimes we write for catharsis, what is something you write about that is close to you?

Gwyndolyn was originally created for a fic to explore experiences with CPTSD and trauma. Some of which are based on my lived experiences.

Cognitive distortions are ways that our thought patterns can distort what we see in the world around us, particularly in ways that negative

As someone with CPTSD & anxiety from a terrible childhood & years after, I've engaged in nearly all of these, sometimes treating myself how others did 🥺

Seeing a lot of people going through a hard time recently 🥺

I know not everyone can get access to mental health support so here'sa thing I learned: we're all susceptible to cognitive biases, especially when we're anxious & depressed

Our minds work against us to confirm negatives about ourselves

Eight cognitive biases social media takes advantage of: fear of missing out, expectations of availability, catastrophizing, emotional reasoning, unfair comparison, availability heuristic, choice-supportive bias, and questionable cause

Gwyndolyn reaches out to touch Astarion's face as he reaches for her waist. She is dressed in a bright cyan dress and he is dressed in a black ruffled shirt. They are surrounded by orange glowing candles in a furnished maroon purple room with the speckled blue glow of magic in the background.

Gwyndolyn and Astarion embrace each other, faces close, as they appear to dance together. She is dressed in a bright cyan dress and he is dressed in all in black. They are surrounded by orange glowing candles in a furnished maroon purple room with the speckled blue glow of magic in the background.

Gwyndolyn, wearing only heels and stockings, perches above a lying naked and aroused Astarion with a dagger held to his neck. He appears pleasantly amused with his situation while bathed in candlelight in an dark stone building.

Astarion sits naked on a chair, hands behind his back, with Gwyndolyn on her knees in a leather harness giving him a blowjob. Behind them a fireplace illuminates the room.

Astarion, blind-folded, kneels before Gwyndolyn who is dressed in exposed leather lingerie and sighs as Astarion takes her nipple into his mouth. Behind them, candles and glittering lights of orange and blue illuminate the room.

Gwyndolyn uses her mage hand to give Astarion a handjob. Her eyes and hand glow as she gives a teasing lick up Astarion's neck. A deep blue glow surrounds them as Astarion leans against her and moans.

Look at these sweet intimate moments of Gwyn and Astarion by the lovely @obsessedwhyyes.bsky.social!! 💕🥰✨

#Gwyndolyn #Astarion #DaggerCharm #TavOC #BG3 #BG3VP

Gwyndolyn and Astarion share a private moment in a bedroom standing dressed in their underwear. Gwyndolyn turns towards the camera, mildly annoyed at being interrupted, while her arms move to go around Astarion's shoulders.

Gwyndolyn and Astarion hold each other, face to face, as if they had just stopped dancing, dressed in formalwear and surrounded by glowing candles.

Gwyndolyn sits on Astarion's lap on a red leather chaise lounge. She is dressed in only her underwear, arm draped around Astarion's shirtless shoulders, while they stare into each other's eyes.

Gwyndolyn smiles at the camera, dressed in a green gown, as Astarion appears to sneak up over her shoulder, hand up, as if he's about to kiss her on the ear or play a cute prank.
