Yesterday I posted a lore drop surrounding #malsin, the circumstances that led to Mal leaving him, and also a little bit of context around her death (and where the story goes from there). So if you're interested in their story, you can read it here:

With Malsin it was obviously Halsin who declared his love for Mal first. The man does not hide his heart. He didn't in Rivington. He didn't in Reithwin. When he loves someone, he expresses that, both through words and actions! #tavqotd #malsin more in the 🧵⤵️
When Maleane meets Halsin again, she's no longer that inexperienced young woman, insecure about her lack of skill in bed. Instead, he finds someone who knows what she likes and wants, something the druid finds incredibly attractive about her... #tavqotd #malsin more in the 🧵⤵️
Well, penetration is sometimes difficult with these two because of their size difference, and thus their favorite things to do sort of depend on that. Mal is someone who enjoys receiving oral in general and that doesn't change with Halsin... #tavqotd #malsin more in 🧵⤵️
Malsin's a little bit more 'responsible parents' type, with people depending on them, unlike Malstarion. And so, there's no time for fancy date nights and planning ahead. The best date is managing to sneak off to some hidden corner of the forest... #tavqotd #malsin more in ⤵️🧵
When it comes to Maleane and Halsin? Their dynamic is certainly different, but doesn't stray very far for what's 'core' to Mal. Not to boil it all down to rudimentary terms, but it's mostly 'service top' Halsin & 'power bottom' Mal #tavqotd #malsin more in the 🧵⤵️
As for Malsin? Halsin fell first and fell hard. It started off as just attraction as he tried to battle the Shadow Curse. He attempted his best to cling to that, struggling to maintain his focus, while she approached him with inquiries and playful banter. #tavqotd #malsin more in 🧵⤵️
"Despite the one stride being all he needed to catch up, he remained behind, letting the silver flick of her hair guide him through the mossy gloom. Half of the fun was the pursuit— blood pumping, lips wet, their shared want a honeyed scent on the wind."

"Three hundred years of lovers, yet he'd never felt a pull quite like the one that seemed to start at the edge of her smile and finish somewhere in the tangle of his heartstrings." - Peaches and honey

I realized that the 'peach fic' photos I took reminded me of something so went looking through the folders and YEP! Been here before haha 😅

"Prey quivered under his touch. Predators bit back. Mal liked to dance the line between them until he was half mad with desire and the beast within gnashed and begged for release."
My dear friend @cheerysmores.bsky.social gifted me the most beautiful Malsin fic 🥰⬇️

the memory of realizing he's about to lose his lover still fresh in his mind, but he tries to focus on the relief and the miracle that saved something he was powerless to change. he knows it's going to be a difficult path ahead, but clings to hope instead. as he's done many times before. #malsin
My last post reminded me of the fact that Mal's two great loves (so far) kind of resemble her parents! It's not really a surprise she fell for a nature-loving, kind-hearted man and a selfish, brutal, manipulative rogue 🤭

Unfortunately, by the end of the Absolute crisis, Maleane doesn't have any family left to introduce her lover to. Which is probably for the best as they'd be rather disappointed with either of Maleane's main partners. more in the 🧵 #tavqotd #malstarion #malsin
do you also struggle to fall asleep because you're haunted by blorbo thoughts? writing them down late at night sometimes helps me fall asleep

A 3d render featuring Halsin and a pale drow Tav named Maleane. They are sitting on a couple of blankets in a forest clearing, various food items scattered around them picnic-style. Halsin is wearing a dark green shit as he sits in a relaxed position, his gaze focused on the other elf. Maleane lies next to him, her head resting against his thigh. She appears to be dozing off, an open book on her lap. Maleane's hand rests on her pregnant belly. They are both bathing is soft warm light, sunlight streaming in between the leaves of the trees around them.
"And it's all... right where it belongs."
My contribution to the 'Family' section of the wonderful @lovemarriagebg3.bsky.social zine! Please, check it out! I wanted to create something wholesome & peaceful, a scene that is rare in Maleane's life.

Pregnancy was a difficult time for Maleane. Yet all the nights spent numb and hollow, all the mornings when she struggled to leave the bed couldn't take away the fact that Halsin made her smile.. for the first time in years 🌄
#bg3 #bg3vp #halsin #malsin
only #malsin would have me googling "best positions when your partner has a big dick" lmao it's for science!!!
Halsin was Maleane's comfort, the rich soil under her feet ripe with the promise to ground and nourish. Despite her many failings, the drow knew that she would always find respite in the druid's arms—something that deep down Mal understood she didn't deserve...
#bg3 #bg3vp #halsin #malsin
"Despite waking every morning to taste heartbreak and fear, Maleane finds the smallest niche of comfort in Halsin."
The time during Mal's pregnancy is not as glamorous as this photoshoot, but I thought it could be a symbolic representation of their love for each other 🧡

I realized Halsey's Love + Power's bittersweet nature surrounding love & motherhood is perfect for this little set!

so instead of sleeping at 3am i'm rolling in bed thinking of mal and especially her time in reithwin, under halsin's care, fresh into them accelerating their relationship into the romantic territory. #malsin #ocmaleane
I suppose saying "wow I really need to focus on writing" right before trying to go to bed early was setting me up for failure either way but uh... I got a lot of feelings about them, ok? #malsin
"He loved her. With her venom and her pain, with all the days spent tending to a ghost.
Halsin learned a long time ago that he ought to accept both parts of nature.
Both life and decay."
#bg3 #bg3vp #halsin #malsin
"There's something about her. Whenever she's with you, it's like… you want to lay the entire world at her feet." - Astarion to Halsin, probably.
I think that sometimes the two end up talking about Mal considering how both of them can relate to having feelings for her.

A little photoshoot I've personally titled "World-famous bard daughter visits retired (& aging) parents" 🤭

I had the opportunity to play around the upcoming PB forest map made by the wonderful @sp4rr0wsw3nch.bsky.social and I got carried away and took way too many photos oops
#bg3 #bg3vp #halsin #malsin
I am having a lot of Malsin thoughts today, so decided to just stream of consciousness them into a text.
life is.. difficult. and so are feelings. and i love that for them. #malsin #halsin #ocmaleane
I do like to think that in this AU, where Maleane stays with Halsin and eventually watches him grow old and grey, she 'inherits' the bicep straps from Halsin's og outfit 🤭
#bg3 #bg3vp #halsin #malsin #ocmaleane
Hey it’s Miss Mercymakin. Maleane is in my Blender and she’s just gettin' it... 🤭
