I’ve been tagged two different times now by @ollifree to share a WIP excerpt, and I’ve hesitated to respond since I have no creative writing projects at the moment, but now I figure I might as well answer and share where my brain has been at.
I am nearly halfway through reading The Vampire Lestat; I read Interview With The Vampire toward the end of last year and enjoyed it immensely. I am enjoying TVL just as much and have had moments where talking about it with friends made me realize things about the first book, namely the similarities between Lestat and Louis and where the differences between them are enough to form a gulf. Next on my to-read list are Queen of the Damned and the David Coward translation of The Phantom of the Opera, which is apparently as close to an unabridged text as currently possible in English.
After wanting to play the first two Baldur’s Gate games since around 2020, I finally have them on my Switch and am suffering from restart-itis. I thought of a Dark Urge character for the third game weirdly easily after realizing that origin fit my idea of playing someone seeking to atone for past mistakes; I now have a computer that can possibly handle BG3, but it isn’t set up yet and won’t be until I’ve made a space for it that can be properly maintained. While BG1 establishes things about Gorion’s Ward immediately—they’re 20 years old, were raised by the wizard Gorion with countless tales, have a younger adoptive sister, and haven’t left the fortified monastery they’ve spent their life in—I’ve been having a difficult time creating a character that feels like an actual character and truly my own. My current tactic is working “backwards” from what I already know about my Durge and see if that works.

As someone super-late to the fandom (especially in the modern fast-moving world, where people on Twitter are already calling BG3 a dead game) I am desperate for community, especially among V/Takemura shippers! Please send me asks/HCs, I particularly love cheesy fluff and post-canon fixits (e.g. still getting Takemura on your side/convincing him to quit Arasaka in non-Devil endings).

WIP Sunday
tagging the usual cohorts @greyvvardenfell @wild-houseplant @heniareth @mocha-writes
tagged by @atypicalacademic more lightpaw & applecliff for you
Applecliff placed his tail across Lightpaw’s shoulders and led her from the cave. She plodded after him, head and tail low. The cure is out of our reach. Did one exist somewhere? Why couldn’t StarClan tell them if one could be found? “What did StarClan tell you?” she asked Applecliff. Behind them, she heard the others leaving the Mooncave, apparently in no hurry to catch up. What awaited them, other than breaking the hearts of their clans? “That the cure was out of their reach.” He looked over his shoulder. “Did they tell you any differently?” “No,” her throat tightened, stopping her voice from becoming a wail. She shouldn’t cry like a kit. Applecliff swept her close with his tail. Lightpaw leaned gratefully into her mentor for support. “For now, we’ll keep mitigating the symptoms. Maybe after new moon StarClan will have a clearer answer for us.”

obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always.

Guys, please watch this movie, or read the novels or the first movie - MAYBE ALL!! 😭😭💖💖
Meet the inspiration for most anime today and the one that inspired Castlevania- Vampire Hunter D!!
It really is underrated and deserves more love! Bloodlust is literally my favourite movie and I cannot express how much I cried and giggled like a school girl all over again😫✨
The novel and movies really captured my heart😓😓
I haven't read the manga which is adapted from the novels yet, but I want to-
Please give this anime a try! Y'all won't be disappointed for real! 🥰🥰💖

I'm a sucker for a fucked up relationships. It's about that unhinged obsession. Limitless devotion. Love to the point of destruction.
