Ok, so I know the update came out literal seconds ago so it’s probably a liiiittle weird to already post about it but hear me out
I already know my favourite panel in this update because look
Hyrule’s like the little guy wants to talk to you! Which is great but I look at wild and he just looks so scared
I’m just imagining he’s thinking “but I’m terrified of the little guy now”

“I love you.”
Stray moonlight streams in through an open window, your words settling in the air as the man beneath you - Kolya - stills. Everything pauses and then you hear his heartbeat falter, a slight skip before growing in intensity. It thumps against his chest, and subsequently your ear, as you both lay there.
Silent, until Kolya begins to laugh.
It starts out small, before it bubbles and spills over his lips in a way that could almost be called malicious. His chest shakes and heaves, his fingers flexing at your side; one second barely touching and the other threatening to break your skin. You don’t move, arms and body tensing as you lay there paralysed, like prey caught in the jaw of its predator. You suppose you are his prey, something that had been known to you since the start and yet it’s only now - at this very moment - that it clicks. Dread curls in your stomach, tugging at your intestines until you feel like you’re going to vomit, static clouding your mind.
And then you realise that it’s gone silent once more, and the dread churns as you feel slender fingers trail along your throat. Sluggish in pace, accompanied by the drag of nails along your trachea and you’re wishing he would put you out of your misery instead of toying with you. His hand, heavier than he intends it to be, rests on your throat, thumb moving under your chin and pushing.
Your head moves up and your thoughts scatter, mind turning blank as his eyes meet yours. Something about them disturbs you more than any crazed laughter ever could, a stark golden laced with such despair and joy that you can feel it drip from his eyes to yours. Kolya looks like a child about to cry, and yet he wears the same cheshire cat grin he always does. All teeth and flesh, teetering between fake and genuine.
His voice is off as he speaks, but you can’t place why.
“Are you scared darling? There’s no need! I’m not going to hurt you. No no, you don’t need to worry about that.”
He moves, body heavy as it contorts over you, pressing your own into the mattress. You’re caged in his arms, with tendrils of hair extending towards you until they block your view of the outside world. Just him and you and this space that’s closing between you both, his face moving closer and closer until his hot breath burns your mouth. His voice carries a poisonous tenderness to it.
“I’m going to free you instead.”

i’m sorry but can we talk about how fucking devastating it is to hear it repeatedly said in the game how godey and cazador found astarion’s screams to be the “sweetest”?
the way he was the one who always screamed the loudest. when he was being tortured for days in the kennel by godey. when cazador was carving the runes into his back. centuries, and no one ever helped him or saved him. for centuries, he was screaming and begging for mercy, and it only egged his abuser on more.
no wonder he disapproves more when you repeatedly help and save people. repeatedly, he has to watch you save all these people, knowing no one ever saved him.
yes, i’m actively sobbing over a video game character. i want something more painful than just death for cazador.

1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!
2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr
3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!
overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!

I should be working on the cunty gabe model (aka 3d model that I can put silly outfits on) but sitting down right now can only be described as having a tight rubber band tied where your leg connects to your body
That going numb, but never 100% numb, burning feeling. It’s so fun.
