While I should be working on commissions my brain is like "hey, do you remember your Witcher OC?" ... and well... I dug out a snippet I once wrote for an idea with a tiny cameo of @mimikoflamemaker's OC Neve ... and I have nothing else to share right now and I don't want to seem too idle... so here it is, a snippet without context with my Witcher sorceress OC Terese (whom her friends just call Ese...)

******************************

As the heavyset man finally vacated the seat opposite Eskel, the young sorceress seized the moment. Though slightly nervous, Terese refused to let this opportunity slip. It was now or never. Her friend Neve gave her an encouraging nod as she spotted her from the bar and a small burst of confidence, though shaky, bolstered Ese's resolve.

Eskel's furrowed brow greeted her as Ese took the seat opposite him.

"Eskel, good evening," she greeted him with an open smile.

"Is there something you need?" Eskel's response carried a weariness that tugged at Ese's heart. Her smile faltered ever so slightly.

"I don’t… no, I just wanted to talk to you," Ese began, her gaze flickering nervously towards the bar where Neve now conversed with the barkeep. Her confidence wavered, but she forced her smile back. "It’s been a while since we last spoke."

Silence hung heavy for a moment as Eskel stared into his empty tankard and heaved a sigh.

(… some time later ...)

With frustration boiling over, Ese slammed her palms onto the table, rising to her feet. "Why are you like this?" Her words echoed through the suddenly silent tavern, drawing all eyes to them. Eskel remained seated, his gaze meeting hers, but he said nothing.

"Is it so hard to imagine that I find you desirable, that I want you and not Geralt?" The coins she threw down for her drink clinked against the wood as she stormed out, leaving a stunned silence in her wake. Eskel pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling the weight of Neve and Geralt's disapproving stares bearing down on him from the bar.

Outside, Ese halted her hurried steps, frustration giving way to a heavy sigh as she buried her face in her hands.

#witcher oc #ese #go get him girl! #cue neve manhandling eskel out of that door #because who is scared od a big bad wolf-witchers? certainly not her ;)

I love my cat but every bit of my current costuming project is covered in his hair no matter where I deicide to put it away.

Then againcat here is there when I'm folding fresh laundry so I suppose it nothing out of order while having a cat.

This particular fabric though clings to the hairs like a duct-tape -_-'''

[mimikoflamemaker]

Well plain cotton canvas sagged under the weight of the scale pieces even after folding it 4 times

So now someone has to sew in boning channels to make the whole thing sturdier

The Many Names of Lady Sabitha Blackwood - Meet Me in the After

Lady Sabitha Blackwood has been known by many names through the years, not all of them kind. As a girl, Sabitha was said to have greendreams, often seeing events that would unfold well into the future. For this gift, her father, Lord Owen Blackwood, bestowed on her the endearment Raventouched. Upon her wedding to Ser Theodred Smallwood, the second son of the widowed Lord Theomer of Acorn Hall, she was known as Lady Smallwood. Two years into her marriage, and her service to Queen Aemma, who was known to have called the Blackwood girl friend, her clandestine affair with Prince Daemon Targaryen was discovered, earning her the moniker of The Dragon's Plaything, oft believed to draw attention to the many years between the lovers in age. Though there were fifteen summers between them, it was said that the prince sought her council, and referred to his mistress as nuhos ozzālanos, or my pyre in High Valyrian, a term that filled his elder brother with a simmering anger.

It was recorded that at one time, the new Queen of Westeros, Alicent Hightower, called her former friend and confidant secret keeper, though many wondered exactly what secret the queen was referring to. Maester Mellos recorded that it was to do with King Viserys' choice of second wife, though Maester Gyldayne is confident that the secret in question had nothing to do with Queen Alicent at all, and everything to do with the sudden death of Queen Aemma. One evening, while in his cups, King Viserys cornered Lady Sabitha at a feast in celebration of his second daughter's birth, loudly proclaiming for all the hear that she would henceforth be known as The Barren Bride for her inability to provide Ser Theodred or his own brother with a child. He cursed her, saying she would bear neither heir nor bastard. It is noted that Ser Theodred did nothing to dissuade the king and made no effort to comfort his wife. After the brutal murder of his grandson, Prince Jaehaerys, and the attack on his daughter and granddaughter, Lord Otto Hightower declared that Lady Sabitha was a shapechanger and a witch, accusing the woman of shedding her human body to take the form of a rat, leading the murderers Blood and Cheese through the tunnels of the holdfast and assisting in their heinous crimes. "The whore knows no shame, no bounds," the Hand raged to his grandson, Prince Aemond. "She is guilty of blood magic and more and I will have her head and her husband's for the death of the heir." When Lady Sabitha heard of the Hand's outburst, she rolled her eyes, waving off the accusation. "A rat, he says? Fitting, considering his own loyalties and betrayals. Perhaps Lord Otto should learn more about his enemies, and his own family, for what use does a dragon have for a rat?" Lady Sabitha lived out her days as The Lady of Whispers, maintaining the once-ruined keep on the northeastern coast of the crownlands that Prince Daemon was granted upon their wedding, largely believed to be the eye of a storm in the Black Queen's attempt to reclaim the Iron Throne. Many believe the granting of this keep to be King Viserys' final jab at his younger brother, sending him away from King's Landing one last time to live out his days with his barren bride.

“What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms, or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.” — G.R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

every queen of the seven kingdoms: rhaena targaryen

“After the death of her husband in the Battle Beneath the Gods Eye, Rhaena Targaryen had acted quickly to protect her daughters. If Prince Aegon had truly been the king, then by law his eldest daughter Aerea stood his heir, and might therefore claim to be the rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms…but Aerea and her sister Rhaella were barely a year old, and Rhaena knew that to trumpet such claims would be tantamount to condemning them to death. Instead, she dyed their hair, changed their names, and sent them from her, entrusting them to certain powerful allies, who would see them fostered in good homes by worthy men who would have no inkling of their true identity. Even their mother must not know where the girls were going, the princess insisted; what she did not know she could not reveal, even under torture. No such escape was possible for Rhaena Targaryen herself. Though she could change her name, dye her hair, and garb herself in a tavern wench’s roughspun or the robes of a septa, there was no disguising her dragon. […] [S]he rested, reading, praying, wondering how long she would be given before her uncle sent for her. Rhaena never doubted that he would, she said afterward; it was question of when, not if. The summons came sooner than she would have liked though not as soon as she might have feared. There was no question of defiance. That would only bring the king down on Fair Isle with Balerion. Rhaena had grown fond of Lord Farman, and more than fond of his second son, Androw. She would not repay their kindness with fire and blood. She mounted Dreamfyre and flew to the Red Keep, where she learned that she must marry her uncle, her husband’s killer. And there as well Rhaena met her fellow brides, for this was to be a triple wedding. All three of the new queens-to-be were widows.” // Georgia Hirst as Rhaena

i'll go first my parents almost named me felicity. which would've been so cool but i definitely would've been like 5x crazier if i was named that

#fiona was a strong contender #and the name itself is not bad #but given that my early teen time fell on the time whn shrek was so popular #it would have been a nightmare #and I guarantenn people would not let me forget afterwards

Ah and to top that fine day off the concept I had for the armor pieces is not working out... and I don't know how else to finish them

Well I suppose I'll move to a different piece and let them cook

Worst case I can use them as they are and have a less seamless transision between them and the belt I'm making

Apologies my posting schdule is not to your liking - I cannot procure a quality updates on my fics every three days while jugling a shitty job, rl responsibilities and other things that require my attention.

Also, fanfic is being written as a hobby - satisfaction from pushing the story along is only one side of the reward. I can get that by writing purely for myself - we as a writers share to connect with others and lalety it is really getting worse and worse on the "connection" front.

Why should I even bother with putting up any further chapters if the response I get is "update faster or I'm not reading anymore?"

That attitude, if anything, will assure you that I am not going to publish ANY faster.
