Gerudo Zelink!

A fantasy book where many characters have dramatic High Fantasy epithets, but for incredibly non-dramatic reasons.

An adventurer known as The Herald of Dawn, but it's because she tends to wake up naturally at 4 or 5 am and every single fucking time wakes up the whole damn camp before sunrise by banging pots and pans together while making herself breakfast.

A nobleman known as The Lord of Shadows, but it's because his land is shaded from all sides by cliffs and mountains and all the other nobility are roasting this guy for not being able to grow or farm anything on his shitty, shady, no-sunshine-having estates.

A courtesan known as The Emerald of [location], but it's because the county she was born in is known for manufacturing forged jewels and gemstones, and so far she is the fakest pretty thing to ever come from there.

An assassin known as The Kiss of Death, but it's because he has somehow acquired every single known and documented STD in his mouth.

The Dark Huntress, named so to distinguish her from The Blonde Huntress.

A prince known as The Raven Prince, but it's because he's autistic and can and WILL tell you everything that is known about ravens, for five hours straight.

Still figuring out the new Tumblr but I like a lot of the newer features. I can put my personal rambling behind Read More's now and keep it locked to my own blog.

This Christmas season has - this entire holiday season - has felt so weird and off. I don't know if it's because there's still this strained not knowing what is normal or allowed now or if it's because of other reasons. Moving and trying to get used to life in our new place has been rough. There are a lot of things I enjoy about where we live now but the space is also very small so it feel difficult to get away and have time to myself.

I don't like the way our office is set up so when I have some more time, I'm going to rearrange my desk so I can look out the window better. I hate feeling like people are watching me while I write or do anything so having my back to the door doesn't help. Kid can't read yet but they are curious and like to know what we're doing so even online shopping comes with tons of intrusions.

It's nice being close to work but I haven't felt like we've been able to take advantage of the extra time. Maybe it's because I don't feel comfortable writing while so close to other people that's making it hard for me to calm down.

But with as difficult as some things have been, there's been a lot of good as well. I'm hoping that after the holiday season I'll be able to actually meet up with my friends more often and maybe we can make better plans about going out and doing things. Kid will also be doing more extra curriculars so I'm sure our time will be eaten up by that as well. All the projects I want to do I need to actually make time for.

I have managed to find some time to make progress on my backlog of video games so there's that. I can finish Breath of the Wild whenever I want now but there's still a part of me that wants to explore. For some reason, I struggle a lot with fighting in the game. I don't know if it's remembering all the different buttons combinations or what. But it's fun to do the shrines and find the Koroks and I'm also a inventory whore so I love collecting all the food and items.

Tales of Zestiria is...still a slog. I'm just trying to finish that as soon as possible to have it done and then I'll give the anime a shot. There's just something about the gameplay and character interaction that is making it very hard for me to connect with the game. Tales of Xillia 2 I loved from the start so I'm not sure what it is about Zestiria. I hope Berseria and Vesperia are better for me. And then I'll have to give Symphonia another shot.
