#(for ryn mention lol)

[essektheylyss]

You know, with the fact that Ryn went and got herself petrified within a day of finding out just how willing the Ruby Vanguard are to fuck a wizard up, I do think that, while the bar is very low, Essek (as he is during the course of the campaign) really does deserve some credit for never ending up in such a self-imposed pickle that he needed his allied party to show up and save him from himself. In fact, the only time the Nein directly felt the need to worry about him was when Caleb put him in danger without thinking through certain connections that would be made, and even then, that was more of Caleb feeling guilt-ridden about it than actual worrying.

And to be very clear, Essek absolutely was and still to this day in canon is in a massive, self-imposed pickle, but when it actually comes down to it, the Nein were pretty tangential and superfluous to navigating that, and he's predominantly doing the work himself.

[cryptidcodex]

I'm explaining the name change whether y'all care or not lol

When we first made our Facebook page, we were only just becoming comfortable with expressing our system hood and gender identity. We also had no idea there was a whole community of systems on here and tik tok.

We chose the name Nonbinary Vampire Friend, because left book pages usually go with a really long string of adjectives as their page name. It's sort of a core part of the community over there.

I think the nonbinary part was pretty self explanatory.

Vampire was because my partner at the time had a huge vampire kink, and it had been an inside joke amongst my friends for a long time that I was a vampire, because I was porcelain shade, because I burn easy, because I hate bright light and had a delayed sleep cycle, because I was goth, and because I've never been particularly fond of garlic.

Also, because being the pet pick me meant all the guys projected their fantasies on us, which included a lot of people insisting we had to be dominant because of how confrontational we are. That actually just means I'm a brat, but that's not related to this post lol. We've discussed the relation between being a pick me in high school, our trauma, and our gender crisis as an adult on our page a bit, and I'm happy to talk more about that over here too.

Friend, because while we had agreed to make a gradual transition to polyamory, as we'd agreed on when we first got together, my relationship at the time was still monogamous. And we're Demi. So while a lot of pages in the Facebook community format their name with "gf" or "partner" or something related on the end, I originally made my page just to make more friends.

A lot of the things both inside and out of us have changed since then. Two months after I made my page, my partner outed himself as a transphobe and a one penis policy type, despite me being very clear that was not ok. So we broke up.

We've also become more comfortable with our system hood, and our identity as a whole. We've always been big book wyrms, and had a special interest in fairy tales, folk lore, spirituality, and sociology. Vampire, though still enjoyable for us, is not the only type of cryptid in our system.

Not to mention, I've since attempted to reconnect with some of those friends from high school, and was very much reminded of why I stopped being friends with them. We've been met with the same transphobia, homophobia, ableism, avoiding accountability, and avoidance in general that I had hoped my friends would have grown out of going into adult life. They're on their own journeys, but I think it's time for us to move on.

A lot of the previously dormant systems have re-opened, and no matter who or what comes our way, we're going to continue to be whatever we wanna be, instead of what others tell us to be.

And lastly, why did we wait so long to change it? Like, it's been the same for almost two years now, and we'd even carried it over when we started exploring other platforms.

Honestly this just has a lot to do with the concept of "branding". By the time we first felt we wanted to change it, we'd already reached like 3k on our page I think? We were worried a name change would confuse people and we'd lose followers and have to work to get back. We want our platforms to reach as far as possible to share mutual aid and important info, and build this community, and we can't do that if no one even knows what or who they're looking at.

Honestly this is something that was taught to us by a lot of the programs grooming us to be a politician. "Keep the branding consistent". We recently decided to say fuck that, my page, my rules.

We have spent the last several months agonizing over picking the perfect name in the hopes we don't have to change it again, and hopefully we won't have to lol.

Love y'all ❤️‍🔥

3, 6 & 15 from the fanfic asks!

3. What is the best fandom you’ve ever been involved in?

Pillars of Eternity though I may just be biased bc that's where Rhi(haledamage) and I became besties <3 Wrath of the Righteous and KotOR/SWtOR are both great, too, but my personal best experience and involvement has been with Pillars.

6. List your OTP from each fandom you’ve been involved in.

hahahah *cracks knuckles* depending on how you define involved...

Trinne Amell/Harvey Cousland (Dragon Age) ∙ Shenko* & Cam/Liam (Mass Effect/ME:A) ∙ Vikkari/Arueshalae(WotR) ∙ Jas/Tristian(PfKm) ∙ Tavi/Aloth(Pillars of Eternity) [Edér/Charity is a close runner up tho] ∙ AJ/Nate(tWC) ∙ can't pick between my SWtOR ships or Andromeda 6 couples∙ Revanasi(KotOR) ∙ Evony/Bao-Dur is canon in my heart(KotOR 2) ∙ Ves/Kurt(Greedfall) ∙ Ryn/Red or Trick/Trouble (ShoH) ∙ Meneldir/survival happiness(LOTRO) ∙honorable mention to Perc'ahlia bc that not from a game I played, but I was/am at least on the fringes of CR fandom and they are GOALS for an OTP

*I have two Shepards I ship equally with Kaidan, thus the generic ship name instead of specifics. xD (any fandoms not listed here were not forgotten, I just don't think I was "involved" enough in the fandom for them to count)

15. Is there an obscure ship which you love?

lol bless you for this one. DA:O era Jowan/Leliana. It only works in Origins bc Leliana goes through enough character evolution by DA:I they wouldn't mesh the same anymore imo, but their character arcs/story involvement have some similar themes(betrayal of trust, redemption, questioning if they're a good person etc) that I think would have been really neat to explore if BioWare hadn't cut recruiting Jowan

1. What was the first part of your wip that you created?

I'm not sure how i'm supposed to answer but by the person who tagged me answers, I think mine is the characters but only Madhi and Noe (Dan being a random pilot with no name back in 2019)

3. Who are your favourite characters you've made? Why?

I obviously love my main characters because I've wrote about them for so long and they're just the best. For the less important mcs, my fav would be Devyn because she's a really interesting character. She's so silly but at the same time she's going to have an important role later in the serie and I'm really excited to write about it.

6. Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

It's briefly mentionned once or twice but Dan and Alec have a cat, her name is Cloud because she's white/grey and looks like a cloud!

8. What part of your wip are you working on rn?

The last chapter of Draft 1, I'm not stuck but I'm currently busy this week and the next one so I won't work on it a lot. Hope I can finish it soon tho!

9. What aspects (tropes, maybe?) of your wip do you think will draw people in?

Just cult stuff I guess.

10. What are your hopes for your wip?

Publish it lol.

Share Your Wallpaper:

My current laptop background is the art of Ryn I commissioned from @sbeep

And my current phone lock screen is this really cool piece of the Normandy:

I won't share my home screen but its a picture of my partner and one of our cats <3

Last Song Listened To: It was either Bite Me by Avril Lavigne or Tantrum by Charlotte Sands, can't remember lol.

Last Movie: I thiiink it was John Wick 3? We've been watching the John Wick movies after my partner learned I'd never seen them.

Craving: More sleep. I don't need more sleep but I really want more sleep. Also been really wanting some pickles/salty stuff the last few days.

What are you wearing rn? PJs/lounge clothes still! Flannel pj pants, black sweatshirt, and fluffy white blanket.

How tall are you? 5'6!

Piercings: I have my ears pierced, which only happened over the summer lol. I'd love to maybe get another piercing in each ear but don't feel inclined enough to go do it yet.

Tattoos: I have one! It's on my inner left bicep and its Mt Washington/the presidential range of the White Mountains with the Orion constellation above the peak. It's got some personal meaning to it but also just liked the way it looked. In theory I want at least one more tattoo, I want to shards of Narsil somewhere on my body but I can't decide where (Well, it makes most sense in my brain to get it on my inner forearm but I don't know if I want it there).

Glasses/contacts: Neither!

Last Drink: Technically water but I'm going to go make myself some earl grey tea with a splash of coffee (its really good, saw it on MorganDrinksCoffee's youtube channel).

Last Show: Uhh...I think it was an episode of The Circle on Netflix over dinner Sunday night because it was a stressful weekend and we just needed something super chill and ridiculous to watch.

Last thing you ate: I got dinner at Culvers last night because I wanted a salted caramel milkshake lol. And their cheese curds (Thank you midwest/south for introducing me to Culvers)

Favorite Color: Kinda swings around between a deep plum purple and a burgundy color.

Current Obsession: Still teetering on the obsession edge of Cyberpunk 2077, though its not got as much of a choke hold on me as it has the last like...two months. Elden Ring is lurking in the background menacingly.

Unrelated Obsession: The Exiled Fleet series by JS Dewes has taken root once again because her new book Rubicon comes out today. So I've been consuming a lot of recorded interviews/con panels/ect in anticipation.

Any Pets: In this household: one menace tuxedo cat pulled from a dumpster in Texas (Blasto) and my poor cinnamon roll of an orange maine coon mix (Atlas).

Honorary mention is Zeke, the 120lbs golden german shepard mix that was a stray down here last summer and I fell in absolute love with but couldn't feasibly adopt, who now lives with my parents up in New England lol.

Do you have a crush on anyone? My partner :P Also fictional characters/OCs

Favorite Fictional Character: HMM way too many to count tbh. Aragorn is probably the longest running fictional character because hooo boy. Can I say female V from Cyberpunk? I think the voice acting for her was done phenomenally. But if I had to choose from not toeing the OC line, probably Adequin Rake from the Last Watch (Js Dewes).

Last Place Traveled: Not counting the city for work or like...~moving~ out here probably to the other side of Kentucky to visit in-laws before I moved out of state. Or maybe back home to NH over the summer? Depends on technicalities of "travel" lol.

Tagging: @greyias annnd....anyone else who sees this and is inclined to do it!

[100hearteyes]

I loved this last episode of CR, but also have a couple of gripes with it and the overall arc. I can't overstate how epic the episode was and how much I love a BIG LOT of what's been done so far in C3, but I also need to rant about two or three things that have been bothering me lol

(ignore if you don't wanna read mild criticism)

First, Ludinus's plan with Vax relied on too many variables and probably's. Orym or no Orym, he assumed Keyleth would intervene in-person for sure at the end, therefore luring Vax out, which... Yeah, very very likely, but should you really hinge a huge master plan a thousand years in the making on 'very likely'? I wouldn't fuck with that many odds tbh.

Secondly, and this is an issue I've had with this campaign at large since the Ruidus plot really kicked off, I think the fact that Bells Hells were always clearly in over their heads in this was a bit of a turn off for me, or at least took me out of it a bit, because the whole thing felt too big, too soon for the campaign. Like, how do you follow this up? How do you justify another nearly two thirds or over a half of campaign? Because yeah, if C1 and C2 are anything to go by, we haven't even hit the halfway mark for Bells Hells. How do you keep the stakes high enough for people to care when you've had this monumental arc so soon when the characters aren't even level 10 and are so clearly out of their depth? This feels like endgame, but we aren't even halfway through. Mind you, I love this arc (despite the incessant lore dumps, some of which quite boring tbh) and thought 51 was epic. Legit cried when Vax showed up and then got my heart broken. Also wanted a lot more Beau and Caleb, though, and those rolls by Liam and Marisha taking them out so soon felt really unsatisfying tbh, even if they helped flesh out just how strong these villains are. I think that's part of the problem - Lvl20 Keyleth and Vax plus Lvl~18 (?) Caleb and Beau were no match for them, how could the Hells even make a difference besides delay the inevitable? So yeah, I think that's my main gripe: the disproportionate threat level, which also made it glaringly obvious from the beginning that there was no winning there - not completely. Not to mention that it somewhat strips players of their agency imo. Of course there were some bad rolls and bad decisions. The Imogen/Liliana persuasion check, Ashley - who is my favorite player and must be protected at all costs, mind you - was pretty much useless (it seems she thought they had more time, otherwise definitely wouldn't have skipped turn after turn after turn, especially considering Fearne had the potential to do great damage to the bad guys' plan - BIG roleplaying moment from Ashley by not going for the beacon, though. That was SO tempting, but she managed to stay true and not metagame), the Beau and Caleb rolls (Beau's above all, since she had advantage), Orym failing to destroy the backpack when he was THAT CLOSE, Marisha forgetting to check the scry ball sooner early on, their bad rolls which delayed the destruction of the power cores in the chambers (could have got to more of them had they done it faster), FCG breaking Ryn (a mix of bad roll and bad decision), Chetney spending all that time on a vain climb, etc. Like, again, yes, a lot of things could have gone differently, but I really think that the final outcome, whatever the iteration, was pretty much out of the players' hands.

Thirdly, and I promise this is the last one, although I loved loved loved loved loved to see Beau and Caleb and Keyleth and Vax, I think the waters may be starting to murky a bit regarding the utilization of former PCs. Marisha hasn't rolled once for Keyleth (as far as we know) but rolled for Beau, even though Matt plays both. So Iike, what's the rule here? Why do Marisha and Liam's rolls only decide some characters' fates? Is it fair to hinge Beau and Caleb's success on the players' roles even though you're the one playing them now? Like, you could see the added tension to Liam and especially Marisha, knowing they each had not one but TWO characters' lives on their hands and couldn't even make decisions for one of them. I don't know that the added pressure is very fair to the players. And, again, why do it for Beau and Caleb and not every other character they've played that shows up? And is it fair to do it for one set of characters and not the other? We go back to the main question: what is the rule?

Anyway I guess I just needed to verbalize my thoughts about the few things I didn't like 😆

That said, I CAN'T WAIT to see what happens next and I really hope Fearne still gets to meet Beau eventually. My girl Ashley deserves it.

[starlitangels]

More of my mythology brain goin' brr

Hades only mentions Zeus and Poseidon being his siblings, and not his other ( mythological) siblings, being Hera, Hestia, and Demeter.

Probably cus, Zeus was married to Hera, and Persephone was Zeus and Demeter's daughter. It would be a pile of spaghetti that is the mythologically accurate greek gods family tree.

Probably best that they aren't related.

Wait, so does that mean that Hermes, Artemis, Apollo, Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, Dionysius, literally 7% of ancient greece( yes i took that from somewhere) are our cousins?

Welp, late night thoughts with Ryn lol(?)

Yeah. He also says one of them is his sister but doesn't say whether it's Poseidon or Zeus.

Yeah Greek mythology is a mess. So is Norse, tbh

I don't think we're going to have that many cousins XD Whether fortunately or unfortunately is up to you, I suppose. The beauty of GB's storytelling is adding subtle references to the mythologies the names come from, but making his own stories with new frankly quite refreshing twists

Thanks for the mention, @fire-but-ashes-too!

I'm responding a little late, but better late than never lol.

I can't believe that it's almost the end of 2023… I've only been on here since March this year, and it's already been the most amazing journey. I know that's a super cliche thing for me to say, but it's really true!

I want to thank everybody for being so welcoming and kind <3

[someplace-that-is-else]

GOOD AFTERNOON, LIKERS!!! How are you doing? I don't think I will #ever get used to the day growing darker earlier.

Meanwhile...in the war against #mercuryretrograde, it has been neck and neck here.

I have won some. I was happy to hear from #Amazon about the books I needed shipped to myself for the winners of my last contest which was during the last Mercury Retrograde. lol. I am also glad to announce that I got notification that I would be in the Local Author Exhibition at my local #library...one of my long-term writing goals for this year. Amazon.co.uk was about to get hit by a Darkened Soul sale. Last, but not least...DARKENED SOUL: THE RYN was being posted weekly over at my book page at www.facebook.com/darkenverse . So some good things.

I also lost some. Lost paperwork. Technology most #Definitely has been on the fizz. And did I mentioned here waiting for what felt like forever for book copies to arrive? It has been a mess, and December 15 (a #fullmoon) can't get here soon enough.

So how was the week going? Well, let's get into it. Otherwise known as EDITING, TYPING, & WRITING!!!

EDITING. There's been a lot of that. And there was going to be a LOT more of that. lol.

I finished the short stories that would be making up my forthcoming DARKENED SOUL: THE BREAKING OF CIRCLES. My focus was now on the titled novella that would also be in my newest collection. I was a third of the way through editing it. I have already been editing on it more today. And will probably edit some more tonight.

There were some other projects that I had a #mind to edit this week. And I'm happy to find myself in that zone. Momentum was afoot. I didn't want to lose it, either.

TYPING. Nothing to see here. Keep moving. lol.

WRITING. Last week's writing sessions had done their #job. How do I know? Even when I was at my jobs or on transit or apparently even in dreams...my mind was in writer mode.

This week would also have writing sessions. Who knows? I might give a #tease of my horror WIP this week. ;)

That was how the week was looking. The personal goal for me...was focus and time management. And using both to carve something new.

[emma-radfemcanu]

I visited my grandparents this weekend which was really nice :) but I always feel sad when I see them now because they look older every time

And of course that's just how time and aging work but I feel like it's been so much more noticeable the last few years. My grandad is 81 and is physically fairly robust tbh, it was my grandma (who is 77) where I really noticed it- she was putting out plates and her hands were so shaky, and also the way she walks although tbf she has had both a hip and knee replacement lol

When my mum was driving us home afterwards she mentioned it and I'm glad it wasn't just me who noticed. But she said about wanting to see them more often because, at the risk of sounding a bit morbid, objectively they are pretty old and you never really know what's around the corner. This is all true and it's not even the first time I've thought this, but for some reason it's upset me a lot more this time

I'll be 24 in a few weeks which is very young still, but to me that is now 'mid 20s' instead of 'early 20s' and it feels like a huge distinction even though it isn't really. And I often get upset on my birthday (and Christmas too) because I get very melancholy about time passing and you feel it more then- my other grandma and one of my aunts died a few years back and knowing that I'll never get another birthday card in almost unreadable writing 😢

So this birthday feels like a bit of a milestone and I think that's why I'm feeling it so much now. All the time I could have spent with them and didn't- or rather wasn't able to (this is a whole story in itself but genuinely is one of the biggest reasons why I'm so resentful of my father), and I can't get any of it back and there might not be much of it left. And I just feel very sad about it

[ultimate-queen-of-fandoms2]

hey

Sort of cracks moon theory

When I was watching c2 nd we were initially learning abt Cognouza and were unsure about what it was, I shared Jesters theory of "the eyes of nine city in the astral sea" potentially being that big god killing device

anyways, that wasn't it. We never learned what the God killing weapon of Aeor was.

What if its Ruidus? No one knows what it is after all, and it's unknown when it came into existence.

It also does not play a role with any major religion with exandria, so it's odd to be related to the betrayer gods as well. And it's taken to be a bad omen, and a god destroying weapon is a pretty bad omen.

Also, one more thing. Quoting this from the CR wiki page on Ruidus:

"Some worry that rare double eclipses, where Catha and Ruidus simultaneously overlap the sun, cause the Material Plane and other planes to calamitously intersect."

The wiki page also mentions that Ruidus "sometimes glows or flashes at seemingly random times."

Anyways, where else have we heard about odd planar disturbances with no apparent source? Planerider Ryn, or rather the notes that Jester read when the party took refuge in the Fire Plane

"I continue to find an aberration in my data pertaining to Exandria, a cyclical, months-long, slow surge in low-level magical interference that then recedes just as slowly. Something that tangles my readings and upsets my analysis. It is too faint to identify the arcane nature at source, but I worry if this pertains to to the shifting between the veils. It could be something very interesting. Something very frightening. Very wonderful. More tests are required."

Maybe that something is the moon? Who knows ahshdhdgd

[epersonae]

from @veeagainsttheday in the comments:

1,5,8,15,24

1: Is writing cathartic or stressful for you?

Yes? Slash it depends? I love the framing of these two things as opposites, lol. It does depend a lot on the thing I'm writing and the frame of mind I'm in.

5: Share a snippet that you’re proud of from an upcoming fic/chapter.

Mary says, in their texts, too simple or not that serious or not that much of an artist — never mind about how the sharp lines of the trees feel like the careful distance between Stede and Mary in a photo, or the way that the curves of hills glow in the painting over Mary’s desk. The sketches in their progression of images and ideas, building one to the other, so that she can’t look away. But she doesn’t know Mary well enough, doesn’t have the right words for it. 

(this is one of the bits that benefited greatly from you pushing me about interiority, so thank you)

8: How do you develop your OCs?

Oh you are just coming for me, huh? I would say over the course of my fic writing, I rarely write OCs, but there are a couple of exceptions, and one (two?) of them is a character who has been in my head for almost six months. I was talking about her with some people over the weekend, and ended up with the description "three youtube videos and an architectural digest article in a trenchcoat", also "a vibes-based creature", which is sort of the two poles -- I have influences which I am careful about balancing, and then an overall sense of how I wanted the story to go, and how she fits into that story, and the kind of person who emerges from that combination is who she is. (all of this project has been about combining characters and people and finding a balance of the resulting amalgam, how much is "real" and how much is "fictional", how much is famous people and how much is people I have known and how much is honestly just me?)

my other main OC, from my TAZ days, is the half-orc who Ryn and I referred to as "our son" Kenneth, who was initially a plot device but then he got a character that we developed together, again thinking about what the story needed and the kind of character who was going to provide this pivotal moment. (And also Ryn wrote the most lovely reflective thing from his POV right after I left my ex, and it's one of the most meaningful things I have from that experience.)

15: Which fic that you’ve written relates to you and your personal life the most?

There's a lot of me in a lot of fics I've written. The bit I mentioned with Kenneth is just one of many little things in that fic that are deeply personal about that story. "She's survived the impossible before" and "you're here, so be here" are basically how I've gotten thru the last five years. (The series it's part of also gave me my first tattoo, which Ryn and I both got together in 2019.)

There's a TAZ fic that I wrote about Lucretia briefly erasing her own memory that is uhhhhhhhhh kinda close to the bone, emotionally; likewise there's a lot of Cool Trauma Stuff in the one I wrote about the years between the creation of the Relics and Year 99.

The AU where Izzy gets yeeted before Ed gets back to the Revenge has maybe the tightest description I've written of my immediate grief experience. My post-S1 fic, unfinished, has a lot of that too. And of course the impulse I had to write Hungry for love was the feeling that I knew exactly what was up with Stede as far as how much did he understand his feelings. (None, but also yes, which is a weird thing to try to write, but it's exactly how I was with Ryn until an IRL conversation that is a spooky mirror of Stede and Mary's talk.)

New Project has maybe more of me than I would have realized when I started, and I feel oddly exposed thinking about it lol.

24: Which fic of yours do you wish people would ask about more? Why?

I never know how to answer this question! I'm excited to get asked about anything, so it's always a delightful surprise, both the deep cuts from my old TAZ writing and my WIPs!

Fic ask game

1: Is writing cathartic or stressful for you?

2: Do you focus on attention to detail when you read fics? Are you more or less attention to detail focussed when you write fics?

3: Do you have any upcoming WIPs? How far along are you with them?

4: Tell me about one of your abandoned WIPs. Why did you abandon it?

5: Share a snippet that you’re proud of from an upcoming fic/chapter.

6: What are some topics you will never write about?

7: Were there any ideas you had for [insert fic] that you couldn’t make work? What were they?

8: How do you develop your OCs?

9: Are there any fics you’d love to see but don’t want to write yourself? What are they?

10: Who has been your favourite character to write about in [insert fic]? What do they bring to the fic?

11: Which OC of yours do you think is the most similar to you? Which OC is the most different? Why?

13: Do you prefer writing multi-chapter fics or single-part fics? Do you prefer reading multi-chapter fics or single-part fics?

15: Which fic that you’ve written relates to you and your personal life the most?

16: Do you stick to canon when you write characters and fics?

17: What has been the proudest moment for you so far since you started writing?

18: Do you feel like your work gets enough recognition? What kind of feedback do you like to receive?

19: 15 words to describe the aesthetic of [insert fic].

20: Which fic have you put the most work into? Which fic have you put the least work into?

21: If you were a character in [insert fic] where would you fit in?

22: Have you used any symbolism in [insert fic]? What does it represent?

23: What’s one piece of advice you would give to anyone who wants to start writing or posting their writing online?

24: Which fic of yours do you wish people would ask about more? Why?

I go by Soryn, or Ryn, whichever you prefer! Likes/asks/comments will come from my main @darlingsanzu only mooties may call my Rynnie ;3

Short summary of me

I'm in my mid 20s, I work full time, and I am one of the most infrequently social person you'll ever meet. Despite that I am a very excitable and soft person and I love chatting about anything, but especially anime :3 My ask box is wide open!<3 also it is physically painful for me to not use some kind of smiley face :) I love them :D I want people to know I'm smiling >:) (painfully addicted to emojis and the use of 'lol' cant help myself)

THings you absolutely must note:

If we chat enough for me to give you my discord, you'll find that very often it takes me several days upwards of weeks to respond. i sweAr im not ignoring you---my social battery is just sad and recharging.

IF YOU SEE ME active on discord ((especially for hours at a time) and I'm not responding to messages, I am definitely gaming with my man. We play games together as quality time, and we're never tired of each other.

Other stuff

While I would be most enthusiastic about romancing Raenor, Ryn would be a really close second.

Raenor over here like ^^^ no but VERY good choices if I do say so myself lol 100/10 they would both have GREAT romance paths.

I mean who can say no to a handsome elf lad who wants nothing more than to write melodies and ballads about your love and support you to the very end? How beautiful that someone who has lived for hundreds of years has not become so apathetic to the world that he cannot still find wonder and beauty enough to love.

Not to mention our beloved Ryn, who will give her heart so fully to you that you’ll tell her to at least keep part of it for herself, that she cannot give herself so fully. And who makes it her mission to protect your back every step of the way and who’s unfailing loyalty is now yours so use it well ;—;
