I Feel Seen!

I feel seen!

Honestly, mind blown (by the Zaith'isk)

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

If u want to write a story about a character that's just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who's gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.

I have too many hobbies, and 99% of them require my hands... This is amazeballs!

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)

I've been thinking about starting to write fanfiction. This post made me brainstorm so hard that I might actually do it...

I'm thinking a reimagining of all the first meetings with the Origin Characters.

Quick question: why doesn’t Gale land ON TOP OF ME when I pull him out of the portal?

Like if Larian can give me sexy knife time with Astarion as the first meeting, give me an awkward Gale who has just fully landed on top of me, almost nose to nose, with Gale stumbling over his very eloquent words.

I'm new-ish to tumblr and 42 likes is new and strange to me! Thanks so much for liking my silly idea! I feel very seen. Unfortunately, being new-ish to tumblr also means that I didn't realise replying to someone privately would mean I couldn't find their message anymore (or at least I don't know HOW to find it anymore), but SOME ANGEL sent me a link to a fic that's not quite what I requested, but close and I wanted to share because I enjoyed it (so possibly 42 other people will enjoy this too)! Go Read Twists and Turns by chaoticbardlady99 !

Now Excuse me while I go and learn how to tumblr a bit more <3

Can someone please write a fic about a Tav or an origin character overcoming their grief because Gale blew himself up, and finding love again with a different origin Character (preferably Astarion, but honestly, I'm not picky)
