<In the Training rooms of The Caern of the Wandering Forest (Aka Wispy) People who get duskborn visions, or visions in general may be able to see parts of this> (this is LONG so Keep reading to not break your dash)
Step and flow, blade moving with the body. It is part of you. Calm. Focus.
Step, flow, blade moving with body. Part of Me. Focused.
Step, flow, blade is part of my body. I am focused.
Finn moves, tracing the steps over and over again as she lets her mind simply become one with her movements. She'd never been able to sit still for meditation like Sadhaka, the mage had once meditated for an entire decade. Not moving, or eating, or really doing anything.
No for Finn, it was movement that let her focus her mind in such a manner. Each step in sync with her breath, her heartbeat. Everything was one. The complexity of the flowing movement, blade and body dancing to the music of the spheres.
Ten Months.
That's how long she's got left with her friend. He was so much like Aodh. Why did he have to be born into that STUPID family. She hated them for that.
It stirred slightly in its sleep, moving like it was chasing something.
She breathes in. No, not the whole family. They are victims of a power structure. It's the way of canites. Of vampires, of what she came from. And their clan especially, props up the top. Loyalty through manipulation.
Flow. Step. Like a River. Like the music dancing about. Flow. Step. Blade up, sweep down, to the right, to the left. Flow. Step.
Calm
Aodh's face filled her mind. His bright silver-lilac eyes. His easy smile. His skill with music. Simply wanting to play. And father many children. Finn softly sighs and laughs remembering him.
She remembered his darker moods as well, when he would cry to the gods. No one knew why. Finn paused in her steps to wipe the vitae away from her face as she remembered sitting next to him as he cried.
I hope my death didn't break him.
She swings again, blade slicing clean through the training dummy. It regrows behind her and she takes a deep breath.
I hope his death won't break me.
Finn drops to her knees, point of her black-bladed katana on the ground. One of the many things she found, and changed over the course of her adventures. The blade that had set her on this path of magic and blade. She looks at it and hears it speak.
You've forgotten that people you get close to can die, Salout's Heir. The last words dripped with venom.
She looks at the blade and sighs. “Thank you for that reminder Irad. I know people die. I just... he's my friend.”
The blade is silent, but Finn feels the disgust and dismissal of her ideas from it. The ritual hadn't quite worked, and Irad's cruel and evil personlaity stayed. Though Finn was still the one in control. So he was left being a snarky ass.
“You know you're never getting out of that blade if you continue to be such a fucking blight.”
More silence.
Finn stood again and faced the training dummy.
Flow. Step, Blade up, Blade down, Side. Flow, Block, step. Blade Down, Blade Up, Flow, Step.
The cry of a pheonix becoming the roar of a bear filled her ears and she smiled.
An assurance. She would speak with him when he woke.
Now was time to carve.
The supply room should have the right block of gemstone. She walks along. Jasper... not quite. She picks up her pace. Petrified wood. That was it. The shape of a bear coming into her mind. Yes. She could do this.
Another thought in the back of her head.
You know the price, servant of the Morrigan.
Better pick up another ruby. I'm going to be doing that ritual again...

AND I MET THE CHANGE GOD TOO. OKAY. COOL OKAY
#I WASNT EVEN MEANING TO SO I ACCIDENTALLY SKIPPED THE DIALOGUE BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING FUCK#ill go and find it later if only to give myself peace of mind. BUT WOW. WHAT THE FUCK#my original plan was to 1) work my way to the king and talk to him 2) doom myself and take everyone down with me 3) loop back to floor 3#so i can visit the observatory and scrounge for any lore. although since i got killed that run siffrin asked the king to kill him first#which was intereresting. but i decided to have all doors unlocked that time around so i can just get the starcrest and go#but for some reason it wasnt working so i went to get the keyknife since i was already there and completely forgot i already had it#from the previous loop and THATS what triggered it. IT WAS FUNNY BUT ALSO SCARY BUT ALSO I THINK I GET WHAT THEY MEAN#about siffrin going back without actually changing. going along with a script even if his feelings on things change#the same way he has his own small rituals like the carving thing and does it for constancy. reassurance or safety even#and the times when he breaks script and ends horribly like the sadness attacking thing and bonnie yelling at him cause him to loop#to avoid it. although i cant really say anything bc id probably do the same thing. maybe not for the same reasons since im cruel#and make him do the worst to see what will happen since i put curiosity over rejection sensitivity as an observer and player but well.#i feel wrongfooted bringing it up since i dont have it myself but i have to wonder if this kind of leans into ocd tendencies.. i remember#reading something about how ocd is fuelled by fear. and things like counting and rituals are kind of used to cope with that?#if anyone knows anything more or talked abt it already id be really interested in hearing it bc im almost sure im not#the first to come to this conclusion. but i simply dont know enough nor have the confidence to broach the topic rn esp with how often#misconceptions around ocd get casually passed around so its hard for me to know what is and isnt a baseless assumption#puppy plays isat#in stars and time#isat#playthru#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#isat act 3 spoilers#change god#WHAT WAS THAT WITH WEARING LOOPS FACE THOUGH WHAT THE FUCKKK

rotating the first chapter where baoxiang and ouyang interact at 200 mach speed in the microwave of my mind, there’s so much bitter understanding in every line it rlly makes wang’s Insanity Villain Rants and his ouyang haterism in hwdtw so stark in contrast

Thoughts on The Magnus Protocol people going to DashCon 2, if it starts really coming together?
I did not know there was a DashCon 2 coming. I felt like the OG DashCon was an attempt at a Stranger ritual, foiled by the Lonely…

I know certain parts of Star Wars fandom are determined to see literally everything about the Jedi in the most bad faith way possible but one of the most baffling examples to me is when people act like they look down on all other force religions and don't take the time to understand them because they see their own way as superior when there is quite literally nothing to suggest that. Like the only other force users they have any actual beef with on principle are the Sith, which I'd say is justified considering the Sith are a bunch of fascist pricks who constantly try to take over the galaxy. Literally all the others are either allies of the Jedi or the Jedi just leave them alone to do their thing.

This was a originally for a daily prompt list where the prompt was "trust issues," but I feel like I lost the plot a little on the vibe of that list overall. But god I love drawing those weird plants

Marius giving a TV to two very powerful and ancient vampires who have no need for it is like those neglectful parents giving their children ipads; then being suprised after it sends the both of them into a hissy fit where they try to slaughter litteraly everything with a pulse
I wouldn't trust him to remember to feed a dog

Vasco and Machete are absolutely adorable, your style is so lovely and you draw the softest beds I’ve ever seen in any art ever
.
#thank you!#softest beds is a whole new compliment that's so sweet#let me go off on a weird and personal tangent for a minute#I've always found the concept of sleeping very touching somehow#it's this mandatory resting period literally everyone has to plan their life around no one has the power to avoid sleeping#if you neglect it your mind and body start to break down very quickly#sleep is such a neutral state of being no one is particularly sad or happy or evil or good while they're asleep they're just logged off#sleeping feels nice it's rejuvenating it's one of the few universal pleasures every single person has an access to#and I find it terribly cute how people have different little bedtime rituals#socks on socks off various pillow and blanket arrangements certain sounds that make them sleepy etc#and sleeping next to someone is such an act of trust#it's extremely intimate as is sex doesn't necessarily have to factor into it#getting comfortable and going unconscious with someone at the same place at the same time that just touches my heart#especially if you're invited into their bed which is a very private space a person's own little nest where the world can't reach them#even if you fall asleep in public transport there's this vulnerability to it and for the most part people respect the sanctity of sleep#and tend to leave sleeping people alone at least in my limited experience#I like drawing my characters sleeping because it feels like I'm doing them a favor granting them a little respite#anonymous#answered

Sometimes your Mental Illness™ is kicking your ass and all you can do is offer the first hot, non-leftover meal you managed to prep in the day at 10:30 pm to Apollo & ask for help getting to *and* getting through your appointment tomorrow and that's okay
