This is the place I call home, one of three Brooklyns in Nova Scotia, It was founded in 1761 and called Nelegakumik by the Mi’kmaq Nation (meaning “broken snowshoes”).
I stopped the car on Route 14 and let the high beams illuminate the speed sign. It’s a technique I use on quiet nights when there is little traffic.

1, 4 and 6 for the fandom ask game, for Triangle Strategy
Thank you so much for the ask!!! <3
1. My favorite thing about the fandom
I've probably said this before, but I honestly really like that tri strat's a pretty small fandom! I love some more popular things like fire emblem, but I rarely participate in those fandoms because it's more intimidating to post stuff that I know significantly more people will be looking at. Even my stuff on triangle-strategy-notes, which isn't super creative (like fanfic or fanart) is stuff I probably wouldn't do for fe. There's already Japanese -> English translation discourse going on over there and I know I'd probably get zinged for a lot of the mistakes I make on the artbook stuff hahahaha.
4. My favorite fanart from the fandom
I'm going to do several here bc there is SO MUCH cool fan art for triangle strategy esp. considering how small it is.
@kelbunny's Cordelia paladin concept has lived in my head rent free ever since she posted it because I am thinking 24/7 about how cool it would have been if Cordelia had ended up with a more significant role after retaking Whiteholm (not that a healer can't have a significant role but. we all know JRPG protags have to have at least one sword or will the devs REALLY let them be a JRPG protag). It's such a fun concept, and I also really love the way it parallels Avlora's dark knight thing she's got going on. It's just!!!! very cool!!!!!
@cullensart's Avwell drawings. I just think they're neat :)
This is on Twitter so I am going to very cautiously repost it a little bit with a screenshot of the entire tweet, but I really love this art by DelaneyJanuzzi of the Time to Say Goodbye battle ending. The scene in general is SO GOOD and I just think it's a really cool drawing of it :) She also has a ton of other cool tri strat + fire emblem art that I really enjoy
6. My favorite character
To the surprise of probably no one I love Avlora a whole lot :) :) :) I'm a sucker for morally grey characters in general and Avlora in particular is really interesting to me for a few different reasons. One big difference between her and a character like Edelgard von Fire Emblem is that Avlora is just super unapologetically not feminine in the typical sense. She super easily could have been written as a man with essentially zero changes to the script outside of pronouns, and there's no "whoa isn't it nuts that we're taking orders from a woman?" moments or really any acknowledgement whatsoever that it's uncustomary for the setting. And the same thing goes for a lot of Tri Strat's female characters which I think is really cool! I don't have anything against girlbosses getting to be a little girly on occasion (and I think for Edelgard in particular it works well considering her whole arc with trust + vulnerability), but there's definitely something really cool about Avlora getting to step outside the stereotypes a bit and just get to be a general without so many references to her gender.

The story so far:
It was a dark and stormy night. The rain had woken you up, and you were starting to get cold.
>>Get a blanket
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
The blanket you grabbed was a gift from your grandmother. She knitted it herself.
As you got snuggled in again, you found yourself unable to get back to sleep. It seems as though getting up to snatch another blanket was just enough to keep you awake. So you quickly became bored.
>>Scroll through tumblr
>>Try to sleep anyways
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
You had turned on you phone in an attempt to entertain yourself. However, tumblr seemed to be glitching. In the middle of each post, it said
⚠️DON’T GO DOWNSTAIRS⚠️
>>Find something else to do
>>Ignore it. It’s just a glitch.
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
As you looked for something else to do, you heard something go *thud* downstairs.
>>Reassure yourself that it’s just the cat. Keep looking for something to do.
>>Panic. Call 911. Someone could be breaking in.
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
You went downstairs, despite the small voice in the back of your head telling you to stay upstairs.
At the end of the staircase, you notice that the umbrella stand near the entrance has fallen over. Which is strange, considering you don't have an umbrella stand
>>Go to the kitchen. All of this walking around has made you hungry.
>>Fix the umbrella stand.
>>Go back upstairs go back upstairs please for the love of God go back upstairs
———————————————
You quickly turned around to go back up the stairs, but out of the corner your eyes, you see something move.
>>Go and see what it was. It could be the cat.
>>GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTA
———————————————
Not wanting to stick around, you quickly turn and rush up the stairs. Just in time too, it seems, as you felt something try to grab your ankle. It felt cold, like ice. Luckily, you managed to slip out of its grip.
>>Turn to see what it is
>>Kick whatever tried to grab you
>>WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN-
———————————————
Fast as a rabbit, you make it to the top of the stairs.
>>Check to see if it's still behind you
>>Go back to your room
>>Jump out the window
———————————————
At the bottom of the stairs, it's completely pitch black, with the exception of two bright spots, almost like little headlights. They almost look like eyes. However, it doesn't seem to be able to come upstairs. You are safe. For now.
>>Rush to your bedroom
>>Point and laugh at whatever it is. It can't get you anyway (or can it?)
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
Once you made it to your bedroom, you feel yourself begin to calm down. Whatever adrenaline your body had pumped into you had started to wear off.
>>Go to bed
>>Find a plush. Maybe the Thing would like it?
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
You find a plush and go back to the stairs, where the thing is still waiting. Gently, you pushed the plush down towards it. As soon as it reached the bottom step, something black and sharp reached out and stabbed clean through the middle. With the stuffy still attached, it retreated. Soon the sound of ripping fabric filled the air.
>>Go back to your room
>>Go hide in the bathroom
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
Back in your room, you try to decide what you should do. After all, you're starting to get bored.
>>Read a book
>>Go to bed
>>Go downstairs
———————————————
You grab a random book off the shelf. Anything to distract you. But you find that you can't focus on any of the pages. The Thing hasn't been able to leave your mind.
>>Leave the book and find something else to do
>>Try to see if there's a way to get rid of the Thing
>>Go to sleep
>>Go downstairs
