#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Trans Day of Visibility

He's back for another post, my excuse is he's being extra visible 😂 It's Elorin!

Crawling out of my hole as another Trans Day of Visibility rolls around to say I'm still obsessed with this dude. My first proper trans OC instead of trying to live vicariously through cis OCs. This silly dude means so much to me. #ElorinPosting

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting My Valentine: Show me your favorite pictures your tav/durge with the ones they love!

Elorin and Abdirak, reporting in!

Screenshot of Shadowheart and Abdirak, facing a man with long white hair whose face cannot be seen. Shadowheart is looking curious and has her arms folded over her chest. Abdirak is animatedly speaking, with a speech bubble that says: "Okay, here are the ground rules. You can punch me, kick me, pull my hair. I am a-okay being stabbed."

Screenshot of Abdirak and Shadowheart. Shadowheart is looking at Abdirak as he is intensely speaking. He is saying: "Biting and scratching are on the table. You can use fire."

Screenshot of a drow man with brass scales on his face and long white hair. He is looking shocked and saying: "These are the ground rules?! Is there anything off-limits?"

Screenshot of Abdirak and Shadowheart. Shadowheart is tilting her head and looking both confused and concerned. Abdirak is clutching his hands in front of his chest and smiling. He is surrounded by cartoon hearts and saying: "Damn man, you got something really sick you wanna do, huh?"

You have no idea how long I've had this in my head for.

#TavQOTD #ElorinPosting #MyBG3Valentine's2026 Day 2

It's hard to tell who fell first since Elorin took a long time to realise he HAD fallen. It probably was him, but Abdirak was the first to acknowledge his feelings. (CW for consensual cutting in the second text) - (1/3)

#TavQOTD #ElorinPosting #MyBG3Valentine's2026 Day 1

Elorin met Abdirak in the canon encounter at the Goblin Camp. Elorin knew there was something different about him, and the penance did wonders for helping to clear his mind, even if it left him very confused. Fearing what would happen - (1/3)

#TavQotD #ElorinPosting What loot does your Tav/Durge drop after they are defeated?

A defeated Elorin would drop a very old violin, and hand written notebook, and a truly concerning amount of alchemy supplies.

#Tavmaster #ElorinPosting Task 6: Devastating Dance

Elorin is hopelessly at a loss for this task. He must do a “devastating” dance. What does that even mean? So of course, he goes to his most trusted friend for help. Abdirak. A few hours later, Elorin returns with the choreography - (1/5)

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Lockscreen

My Lockscreen has been alternating between Elorin, Abdirak, or the two of them together since 2023 without fail 😂 Currently it's Elorin solo, art by the wonderful @harprdraws.bsky.social (who I believe has commissions open just FYI)

#tavmaster #ElorinPosting Task 5: Disappear a Steel Watcher

"No magic. Of course." Elorin sighs. "Not transparent at all." He rolls his eyes and grabs a spade, and goes to round up the nearest friends he can think of.

Soon, he has a small gaggle of friends all digging a hole in the earth - (1/5)

#tavmaster #ElorinPosting Task 4: Make a bridge.

Elorin frowns at the gap, deep in thought. Beside him, Kar'niss looks perplexed.

"Why not have a bridge of web?" Kar'niss asks. "Like I made before."

"Because I'm supposed to make it," Elorin replies, still frowning. "Or at least help. And - (1/4)

#ElorinPosting Is your OC a biter?

Elorin will win a fight through any means necessary, so yes. He has fully bitten chunks of flesh out of someone in the past, during a desperate situation.

In nicer situations, also yes. Since he ends up with such a masochist, a little chomp is often welcome.

#tavmaster #ElorinPosting Task 3: Sneak on a celebrity

Ignoring the fact that Elorin is sulking over me making him do this "pointless and waste of time" task, he's chosen Volo as his victim. Self absorbed, and for some reason always trying to find an opportunity to talk to Elorin. - (1/3)

#tavmaster #ElorinPosting Task 2: Most impressive gold piece

Elorin has brought half of his laboratory with him and hastily set up some apparatus. He wields the gold coin gleefully before dropping it into a glass beaker of liquid. It fizzes immediately. And disappears. The gold is gone. - (1/4)

#tavmaster #ElorinPosting Task 1: Taken thing

"I took myself from my mother's house, I suppose. I'm not sure if that counts, though she was rather furious about it.

I did take some very rare alchemy tomes from my former master's home, right before it tragically and inexplicably burned down. "

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting OC as a Redditor

Elorin would be haunting all the foraging subreddits commenting either "please don't eat that" or "hospital"

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Let Astarion feed from them nightly after discovering he's a vampire?

Considering how poorly that first bite went, no Elorin doesn't let Astarion feed on him again. And neither does anyone else in camp (with one notable exception). Poor Astarion is stuck biting enemies only.

#TavQotD #ElorinPosting Ages

Elorin starts BG3 at a youthful 115.

I haven't decided an exact age where he finally dies but, as a powerful sorcerer who avoids trouble and is away from the normal health hazards drow face, he lives to a ripe old age, keeping to himself and serving his community.

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Mal has found your tav/durges diary! Just what is he going to find in there when he inevitably reads it?

Mal might be pleased to find a lot of alchemy notes and formulae. Details observations and experiments.

He might be less pleased to find Elorin stood behind him like

#TavQOTD #ElorinPosting How does your Tav measure success?

For Elorin, it's simple.

Am I free? Succeeding.
Am I alive? Even more successful.

Achieving goals is nice but considered extra credit.

His goals? Become an alchemist (achieved). Get his own shop (also eventually achieved).

#ElorinPosting Homesick

Elorin doesn't get homesick for his family or estate, good riddance.

He DOES get homesick for the underdark. He misses the darkness, the wildlife, the mushrooms. He misses things being NORMAL.

Also his old room and books. A small sanctuary in an otherwise hellish place.

#TavQotD #ElorinPosting Drow tav!

It's ya boy, Elorin!

Alchemist, Abdirak smoocher, and arson enthusiast.

He escaped the underdark (and his mother's wrath) with the intention of a quiet life making potions and living peacefully, but the nautiloid had other ideas.

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Where was your OC the moment they knew they were in love with their LI?

CW cutting and blood

Elorin was pretty deep into Act 3 when he realised, in a secret Loviatan temple beneath Baldur's Gate. Due to his history and trust issues, it was sadly not a happy moment for him.

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Assuming they aren’t one already, would your tav/durge prefer to be a Vampire, a Werewolf, or a Demon?

Considering that only one of these has symptoms easily manageable with ingredients from his garden, Elorin is going with werewolf. The benefits of being an alchemist 😂

#TavQotD #ElorinPosting Journaling

Technically yes, but he's not writing about his day. He's taking notes on the local flora and fauna, as well as on his brewing in the evenings and alchemical experiments. He normally does this anyway, but the surface is new and there's so much he needs to learn.

#TavQotD #ElorinPosting Does your Tav have any nicknames?

Elorin doesn't give nicknames, but will call them what they prefer. He will, occasionally, refer to Abdirak as his shade, his darkness in the light, or malla jabbuk. The last one is only for very sexy or very sarcastic circumstances. - (1/2)

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Wax seals, what would your tav/durge's wax seal look like?

Elorin is just shoving his thumb in there and calling it a day. He has enough bits on his desk, and he wrote his name inside the letter, so he doesn't feel the need for anything fancier than that.

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Preferred method of fighting?

Elorin's preferred method is fighting is to not. He's an alchemist. He wants to go home.

When he does though, he prefers magic. And he's not afraid to get between danger and the weaker party members - he's a lot more durable than he looks.

#ElorinPosting Sexuality and gender

Elorin's a trans man and is very binary about it. No question in his mind that he's a man.

As for sexuality, he doesn't question it because doesn't care lol. He's actually demi and pan, but he doesn't have the words or care to waste much time thinking about it.

#TavQOTD #ElorinPosting Misplaced guilt

What happens to Vanra. Elorin takes the hag's deal in Act 1, and even after learning that Ethel would have returned anyway, he still blames himself for Vanra's trauma.

He sends money for years after, and even after she recovers he carries the guilt of it.
