Sometimes you just gotta make you and your friend's Baldur's Gate 3 Tavs kiss ('cause they're cute and in love and stuff) 🥰💕 #bg3 #baldursgate3 #tav This is Rainstorm and Kurog, a halfling druid and her half-orc barbarian boyfriend.

A screenshot from Baldur's Gate 3. It features a halfling woman with dark hair in a long braid with flowers in it, kissing a half orc man who has knelt in front of her to kiss her back. The two Tavs featured here are named Rainstorm, a druid, and Kurog, a barbarian.

Scorpio Sun, Scorpio Moon, and Virgo Rising. I honestly don't know what this actually says about me, as I don't tend to look too deeply into astrology 'cause I get easily nervous when things start telling me too much about myself 😅 But I do love @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social's art, & wanted to share.

Virgo Rising - a person in a gold and white animal mask wearing a deep blue celestial dress takes the hand of a person with a cane, back to the viewer, wearing a fine purple jacket and dark blue trousers. The background is deep blue and features a castle backdrop.

Scorpio Moon - Two dark skinned-and-scaled mermaids with teal hair and matching tail and arm fins embrace each other.

Scorpio Sun - A golden winged feminine naga like creature with a long gold and burgundy snakes tail is sitting in a wine glass, with a couple of bits of greenery resting at the wine glass's stem.

holy stays batman! corsets, bodices and stays — oh my! (DnD art of my wildfire druid character, Ursula 🦊💛🔥 by @iroarts.bsky.social 💛)

A waist-up piece of portrait art of a buxom young woman with curly red hair that comes to her midback. She has blue eyes, and a dazed, dreamy expression on her face. Monarch butterflies flutter around her head, as well as decorate her bodice. A fox like piece of embroidery is at the center of the bodice as well. This TTRPG character is named Ursula, and she is a wildfire druid in a text D&D game.

Honestly this is a vibe. I don’t super prescribe to astrology in any serious way but it is sometimes fun to see The Memes™️, although they all have some Strong Stereotypes about Scorpios 😅 and I am — apparently — almost The Most Scorpio™️ I could be. The colors are so pretty though!

🫣 Momentarily breaking this very long and ongoing social media hiatus to say that I got my copy of Hope Springs Eternal, and that it’s so beautiful. It’s lowkey surreal as hell to see my own writing in a printed copy — but so neat 💕 #daggerheart #ttrpg Anyways, gonna slink back to the shadows now 🫣

A selfie of Alex, a young woman with dark hair and green eyes, wearing a sage green shirt and a pair of heart shaped glasses. She is smiling widely and holding up a copy of Hope Springs Eternal, a book that is a Daggerheart TTRPG supplement.

Morning everyone 💛 hope everyone’s week is off to a good start. I feel like I have things to do today, but I’m genuinely worn out for no reason at all. But I did manage to wash my face, and take my meds, & make some coffee 🥰 so we’ll consider that a win today. Morning picture tax from yesterday:

A photograph of a pretty coffee mug with a delicate floral and hummingbird pattern on it; it has a pink base and a pink rim. The coffee mug sits on a wooden table, and its top can be seen filled with whipped cream that has whimsical star shaped rainbow colored sprinkles on it.

A photograph of an orangey-pink colored sunrise viewed through a very tall pine trees. The front roof of a house is barely peeking up at the bottom of the picture, not well seen.

I spend most of my time in pajamas, partially because it’s more comfortable, & partially because I’m lowkey depressed & can’t be assed to get dressed. But I’m trying this thing where I try to inspire myself to dress whimsically — for myself, to bring joy, & to take pictures that make me happy #ootd

A photograph of Alex, a young woman with long dark hair and green eyes. She is wearing a midnight blue halter top that is covered with silver stars, as well as a deep burgundy colored skirt with asymmetrical layers that have lace on the hem. She wears a pair of black ankle boots with a very small platform heel. Additionally, she is wearing a simple gold chain necklace, and a pair of celestial themed gold dangling earrings with moons and stars on them.

In this picture she also wears a dark blue denim jacket that commemorates the 2001 Millennium Disney celebration. She is joyfully swishing her skirts around and smiling happily.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Apr 2

It’s so rare that I wear anything that isn’t sweats or pajamas, that the fact that I have worn actual clothes like twice in the past week and a half is notable & worthy of documenting. I took Tabby to the vet today for a check up (she’s all good on preliminary check!) and snapped some OOTD pics 🌼🌷💕

An outfit of the day (OOTD) picture of Alex, a young woman with long dark hair and green eyes. Her hair is thrown up into a claw clip. She is wearing a pair of high waisted tan colored shorts, with a lightweight button up shirt tucked into it. The shirt has short sleeves and is a light cream color with muted green leaf patterns on it. She is wearing small gold hoop earrings and a very simple short gold chain necklace.

She is seated on the old and dirty wooden steps of a back porch, leaning casually back on the stairs with her elbows, and with one leg crossed over the other. She is looking slightly up and smiling at the sky.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Mar 28

Went to the flea market with my family today and liked the way I looked for the first time in a while because I actually put some effort into my fit today 🪻🌼🌷 I’m happy with the outfit & with these pictures, it’s the first time in a long while that I’m wearing something other than PJs or sweats.

A self portrait of Alex, a young woman with long dark hair and green eyes. She is wearing a pair of light blue linen pants, a light blue floral print men’s button up shirt that is belted around the waist with an olive green belt that has a golden buckle, over top of a plain ivory colored tank top. She also wears a 2001 commemorative Disney World denim jacket. She is also wearing black Ugg slippers. Her hair is pulled into a half up style with a pale blue flower claw clip, and she wears a thin golden necklace and small gold hoop earrings.

In this photograph, she is sitting on an old and somewhat rickety looking set of wooden stairs that leads up to a back deck. She has one leg propped up, an elbow resting on that knee, and her chin resting on her hand as she stares thoughtfully off to the side.

We interrupt this long and ongoing social media break to say, while I was grocery shopping today, all the kids in the store kept staring at me in delight. I didn’t realize why until I heard a little girl whisper to her mom, “Mommy, she has STARS on her face!” Reader, I forgot about my acne patches.

A selfie of Alex, a young woman with dark hair and green eyes, wearing a black sweatshirt with the words “Canada” written on the front in red text. She has a couple of green star-shaped acne patches in various spots on her face. She is sitting next to Tabby, a little gray cat.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Mar 20

We interrupt this long and ongoing social media break to bring you this: this is how I woke up this morning. Note, she is not sitting daintily. This cat has her full butt on my face. At least I know I’m loved I guess 😅 thanks, Tabby.

A selfie of Alex, a woman with green eyes and long dark hair, wearing pajamas and laying in bed, resting on her side. Despite the fact that Alex is on her side, and there is only a very narrow space to perch upon, her cat Tabby — a gray cat — has laid on Alex’s face and shoulder, with her butt planted squarely on Alex’s cheek. The digital clock in the background indicates that it is early morning, 7:43 AM.

Wanted to take a pic of the TTRPG book mail that I’ve gotten since December 👀 Been waiting to take a pic until as many books arrived as I could. Am excited 💕 - Floral Dragons - Perils & Princesses (& adventures) - Before the Bog God - Midnight Muscadines - All Night Breakfast at the Midnight Owl

A portrait length photo of a series of TTRPG books overlaid neatly over each other, fanned out so you can see their covers. The books include The Field Guide to Floral Dragons; Perils & Princesses; Sweet Revenge; Night Market; All Night Breakfast at the Midnight Owl; Before the Bog God; and Midnight Muscadines. Additionally, slightly under the books is a piece of packaging with a cute little froggy doodle on it with a word bubble that says “rrr Hi!” written in Sharpie.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Jan 18

Understood 😭 it’s HARD to be bad at stuff (especially if you’re like me and have perfectionist tendencies that have VERY unfortunately lent themselves to “I’m not good at this so I guess I’ll just quit” mentality — a BAD mentality!!) You got this 💕 In solidarity, here is one of my iPad doodles:

A digital sketch of a woman with curly hair crouched down on the ground and examining a little frog on the ground; it is raining, and a man with a beard stands behind the woman, also bent slightly at the waist, one hand in his pocket and holding an umbrella over both of them, examining the frog over the woman’s shoulder. These are two D&D characters, Oskar and Rosa.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Jan 17

Everyone please look at my beautiful cat. Tabby is such a sweet girl. She is also absolutely wild. But I love her.

Me, making fun of my own character for one of my D&D text RPs: “I made a faun!” “You fucked up a perfectly good goat, that’s what you did. Look at her! She’s got anxiety!” The faun in question: (Art by @iroarts.bsky.social)

A full body colored sketch of a faun woman with curling rams horns, long white hair, fluffy sheep’s ears, and hoofed feet. She is wearing a navy blue under dress with a midnight blue sheer overdress. Her petticoats are lighter blue and sparkly, and the sleeves of her underdress are embroidered with pink flowers and green leaves. Her name is Adjhaezhe and she is a D&D character, an archfey warlock/wild magic sorcerer multiclass.

✨TTRPG/D&D Question of the Day✨ Have you ever played an orphaned character? It's a trope that's so common for the Tragic Backstory™️ -- if you ever have played an orphan, how important was family to their story? Their birth family? Their found family? What role did family wind up playing for them?

The words “Question of the Day” are emblazoned in white serif text on a black background, and surrounded by stylized white stars and butterflies. This is the visual set up for a DnD/D&D or TTRPG Question of the Day!

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Jan 14

Additionally, if I’m going to post a D&D character meme for Laele, I have to post one for Zascha too! Sorry, they’re a bonded pair, haha, if you get one, you get the other. Ask Zascha her top 5 anything! 💕 TTRPG character memes are fun. (Art by @iroarts.bsky.social)

A colored sketch of a young air genasi woman with curly dark hair that fades into smoke, iridescent eyes, and lightning scars on her arm. She’s leaning against someone’s shoulder and smiling.

“Ask me my Top 5 anything.” — a meme suggesting that you ask my D&D character Zascha her top 5 anything!

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Jan 14

This seemed like it would be a fun little D&D character meme to do 🥰 so I guess if you’re feeling like it, ask Laele’s Top 5 Anything! (Art by @iroarts.bsky.social)

A colored sketch of a lavender skinned drow woman with long, white braided pigtails, leaning against someone’s shoulder and serenely smiling at the viewer.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Jan 10

For my boyfriend’s Christmas present, I commissioned my friend @iroarts.bsky.social to draw art of our D&D characters from the game we met in! Will and Lysandra are a gunslinger/cleric and a bard. They started dating before my boyfriend and I even did 😅 this is an epilogue shot of them 💕

A colored sketch of a man with shaggy brown hair wearing a white shirt and a pair of brown pants leaning against a counter; next to him is a woman sitting on the counter in a night dress — she has long curly dark hair and is holding his hand. They are both wearing wedding bands. These are D&D characters, Will Andrews, a gunslinger/cleric multiclass, and Lysandra Andrews, a bard.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Jan 10

So for Christmas I commissioned my friend @iroarts.bsky.social for art of my D&D character, Rosa! She’s a shepherd druid. I said “art nouveau, but make it pin-up” and I feel like Iro totally delivered 😍 I love Rosa so much even though I didn’t get to play her much #dnd #dndart #dndcharacter

A colored sketch full body drawing of a young woman with wildly curly mousy-brown hair and bright blue eyes. She is seated and wearing a white dress, one leg extended slightly out and the other bent, with the flowy fabric of the white dress falling partially between her legs, revealing her skin. This is Rosa, a D&D character, a shepherd druid. The background is colored with pale greens and pale yellows, a flower tentatively seen behind her. The border is made of clovers.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Dec 26

I’ve gotten enough new followers (wow, hi??) in the past 2-ish days that it feels like time for a reintroduction: Hi, I’m Alex! 💕 I love to play & write for TTRPGs! I write more than I publish, because anxiety. My current project is the Hope Springs Eternal Daggerheart supplement! Hello & welcome!

A selfie of a young woman with long dark hair and green eyes smiling at the camera. She’s wearing a burgundy colored sweater. That’s me, Alex!

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Oct 31

👻🎃 Charbooterie board! 🎃👻 Admittedly it said it would feel five people and we were like “this could feed three people if we’re being generous, and not with the way WE eat charcuterie” 🤣

A charcuterie board that is Halloween themed. There is a cut out of a jack o lantern, and a witches hat, in cheese.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Oct 17

I had a decent chunk of new followers last night so: hi! I’m Alex. I write for TTRPGs & I love to play them, too! Currently I am: ✨ Playing in a couple of text RP #DnD games ✨ Writing for the Hope Springs Eternal #Daggerheart supplement ✨ Writing a tarot based duet #TTRPG No AI 🚫 nice to meet you!

A picture of Alex, a dark haired woman with green eyes, smiling at the camera. She wears a rust-orange sweater and a pair of dangling ghost earrings.

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Oct 13

Behold! The face of a nuisance! And very sweet little baby who can do no wrong while simultaneously doing everything wrong. Tabby is here to send positivity 💕

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Oct 4

Today has been very bad for focus and I STILL keep zoning out with everything I attempt to do (gosh I will be glad when my ADHD meds get refilled), BUT! I’m *trying* to watch Halloween movies, & have a cup of orange spice tea with some butterscotch cake-snacks. Snack cakes? Idk. Whichever. Trying.

A photo of a ghost mug filled with tea, sitting next to a plate of iced cake snacks and an Apple-pumpkin scented candle. In the background is a TV with the image from a Halloween movie, of a mustached man with thick eyebrows looking startled, and the closed captions on the TV read “They all became ghosts.”

Alex@alexsgamingcorner· Sep 22

I’m babysitting my brother and my sister-in-laws dog today while they’re at school/work. A little last minute decision, but it’s fine 😅 so far she’s a good pup.
