Saw this Avatar/Neytiri edit and realized it encompasses the vibes of Chapters 8 and 9 of Burden. So y'all get to suffer with me! 😅🥲

26.09.23, tuesday

why do I always start doing things with a clear plan but then by the end of the day I’m so so confused and it feels like that (=making myself more confused) is all I actually got done ??

things done today:

5h of focused time (a meeting and coding)

#i actually have an answer for that: it’s bc now the brain is tired and nothing makes sense and life in general seems very bad and daunting #and that’s when u know it’s time to start going to sleep #or at least to stop trying with things bc at that point like u’re not gonna do anything great #studyblr #booklr #aesthetic #books #bookblr #study #reading #read #book #studyspo #dark academia #september 2023 #2023

Finding my reading list at Daunt Books

1. Illness as metaphor: Classic essayist, so crisp and evocative

2. The history of sexuality: just so interesting

3. Collected poems: a sensuous and slightly self-deprecating poet, constantly prostrating before his love

4. Bad behaviour: woman in big city doing morally dubious stuff…need i say more

Just 2% of my total list 💀

Love HP <33

Okay, I'm not very used to showing off my stuff but... it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day and I would be remiss not to take advantage and mention that I wrote a story about pirates. I mean, they never refer to themselves as such, but that's just semantics, really. So, may I introduce my adult dark fantasy novella: The Lies We Tell Ourselves. *** "In a world still bearing the scars from an ancient magical conflict, those who wield magic – or are changed by it – are condemned as abominations, their lives forfeit.

Raised at sea under the tyrannical rule of his father, there is nothing the young Captain Fiaer Dradorn won’t do for the knowledge of a lost treasure that drove his father’s obsession. Even start a war.

Betrayed to the mercy – and consequences – of catastrophic, uncontrolled, magic, Fiaer is left with nothing but the belief in his own monstrosity and the overwhelming desire for revenge.

As his plans take form, he realises that true monstrosity is less what someone is, and more who they chose to be. A choice he must make before others make it for him." *** It's available from all reputable booksellers, I believe, worldwide but for certain I know for a fact it's in Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, the Big River, and best of all, direct from the publisher: https://www.lunapresspublishing.com/product-page/the-lieswe-tell-ourselves In summary:

And a couple of Sneak Peeks, cause I'm nice, I'm new, and I'm not at all sure what I'm doing:

#fantasy #dark fantasy #books #author #my writing #books and reading #queer characters #lgbtq #Mr “Hypersexual Warcrimes” over here!#talk like a pirate day #pirates #indie press #buy my book maybe?#I'm new here tags are daunting

1 and 2 for the tav's. to get to know them. 👀

Thank you so much for the questions Wonda! I've been dying to talk about my Tav's.

This got quite long, and there's pictures so it's all under the readmore. If you're interested this OC ask game was newly made by my mutual @glitchy-npc

1 - Give a basic run down of your OC. Name, general info, relationships.

Syleth of the Green Knights. A tiefling paladin (and as of recently, a sorcerer) who is sworn to the Oath of the Ancients. He grew up on the streets of Baldurs Gate as one of the many urchins, though when he was twelve he was taken in by a temple of Selune. Syleth felt like he owed them everything, but they didn't treat the tiefling so well. When he came of age and the Moonmaiden had not blessed him to be one of her Clerics, he saw it as a sign from his god that he did not belong in the temple and she was guiding him on a different path. Which is how Syleth ends up becoming a Green Knight.

Stat wise: Tiefling, Paladin(oath of the ancients)/Sorcerer(dragon bloodline), Acolyte background. I'm romancing Astarion with him.

Connor Newsong, similarly to Syleth, grew up on the streets of Baldurs Gate, unlike his friend, the human boy stayed there for a lot longer. Connor did whatever he could to earn money and survive. Which is how he picked up the lute one day. Connor never went to a fancy bard school (not officially anyway, but he has stolen their litrature to teach himself) but he is quite the talented bard. His talents got him off the streets and into a life of adventure. Until the events of the game, he didn't exactly plan on ever returning to Baldurs Gate.

Stat wise: Human, Bard (College of Lore) + Rogue, Urching background. Romancing Gale.

(also yes Connor gave himself that last name when he started his bard career, tbf he was like, 14 at the time)

Lord Lucien Peter Levvine-Rainhold is the son of the human noble Timothy Levvine and the high wizard Ashera Rainhold. Lucien is the youngest child of three, his parents already had 'the heir and the spare' which gave Lucien a lot of freedom as a child. He was thought the manners of the high class and basic magic as was expected of him, but when he ran around in the courtyard pestering the estate guards to teach him how to swordfight he was given that luxury.

Stat wise: Half-Elf, Fighter (Eldritch Knight), Noble background. Romancing Wyll.

As with all games like this where I end up making multiple characters, I like to imagine them all exisiting next to each other in the story. So for my Tav's i've decided they where an adventuring party before they got snatched up by the Nautiloid at the start of the game. There is also a yet undifinied Cleric of Selune that im still workshopping, she's also part of this group.

I don't want to make this even longer so I'm not going into the details of relationship rn sorry 🥲.

2 - What is their physical appearance? What tends to stand out to people who notice them for the first time?

The first thing one would notice of Syleth is probably the whole, tiefling thing. The horns and demonic eyes are kind of obvious. The second thing would be his tattoos or his recently grown in dragon scales (that was a weird thing to wake up to). Syleth mostly wears heavy armor, but in camp he barely wears anything at all besides pants and boots, in fact you're lucky if you even get a fucking shirt on him. (He already hikes around with too many layers and heavy plating you think he's restricting his movements in any way during downtime?)

Most notable about Connor is that he has purple eyes and redd-ish and purple hair. Not the most normal thing for a human, he probably has some elven ancestors in his family (not that he ever had any family, so he can't check). Other than that he's quite tall but definitely not build for combat in any way, one could say his Constitution stat is trash. Connor dresses himself in a very bard-ly way, enough to be classy and eye-catching but also not too extravagant.

Lucien is a mountain of a man, a build he can thank his human father for. Another thing that catches someone's eye is well, his eyes! While he was not born with heterochromia, after the bard Volo poked around with an icepick in his eyesocket he's one magical prostethic eye richer! (that wasn't very smart, but that's his dump stat anyway <3). Lucien might be nobility, but he doesn't exactly dress like it. It's practical armor in the field, and well loved worn casual clothes that he's probably had since he started adventuring.

#ask game #oc tag #oc: Syleth Morte #Connor Newsong #Lucien Levvine-Rainhold #i dont want to tag this as the fandom because im scared hahahahahaa sorry #edit: Wonda convinced me to tag it anyway SO #bg3 #bg3 Tav #its just typing some words but it feels daunting lmao #im not used to interacting in big fandoms but we're taking the leap 💪#edit: this isnt biblically accurate anymore for Syleth because i pivoted him into the dark urge origin.

i would be pumping out so much Kunikidazai if i could work out how to characterise Kunikida properly like MY MAN I LOVE U but GODDAMN like. i find it so hard to write him for no reason even tho he's literally me fr. I think BECAUSE I like him/relate to him so much but in a way that I don't fully understand about myself yet i find it hard to articulate his character in words. Like yk how when u have the characterisation in ur head and then when it comes to putting it on paper u come up empty? yeah thats me w autism man Kunikida.

ONE DAY!!!! ONE DAY I WILL WRITE THE MOST HEARTWRENCHING KUNIKIDA FIC AND MAKE EVERYONE CRY. But today is NOT that day so sorry xxx
