Mirrors edge and literally anything?? I can’t find enough good fics about it T-T faith and her parents? Faith and her sister? Are we talking mirrors edge 1 canon or mirrors edge 2 canon?

you two are getting only one drabble for now as I’m still testing my wings with these characters, but I’m hoping to write more one day!!

decided to write about where I left off; Faith has just returned from Kruger’s private apartment and Icarus is really feeling the Reflection settling in

–

Icarusslumps onto Plastic’s sofa. His movements are slow and careful, and still hewinces when he hits the cushions. He tries to swallow the noise down, perhapsto not disturb the ambience or to not show any weakness, but Faith catches itnonetheless.

“Hey.” Shesits next to him. Plastic and Aline are too absorbed in their work, they can’thear a word. Kuma is fussing around the sofa, whirring and beeping quietly.

“Hey,”Icarus replies. He tries to sound nonchalant so hard, but his voice is strainedand he keeps arching his back.

“Does itstill burn?” Faith asks. She hates the softness of her voice – like talkingto someone dying – but she can’t help it; to disturb the pure focus that fillsthe room would be unforgivable.

“A little.”

Faithraises her eyebrows, and Icarus grimaces.

“You’re a terrible liar,” she says.

“I just know it’ll get worse before it gets better.” He doesn’t look at her, doesn’t look at anything.

Faithsighs. Here they sit, one burning, one broken (no matter what she said, Dogen may have been right after all),enveloped in an illusion of peace and safety but beyond that still surroundedby the city of Glass that’s slowly cracking around them.

Faith takesIcarus’ hand and holds it. It seems to bring them both some solace.

In the dice mountain picture you just posted, what is the yellow d10 on the right?

To be totally honest, they’re random yellow pearl dice I got off ebay for like a buck, haha.

i’ve bought some cool new games recently and i’m thinking of liveblogging them (though it probably won’t be very interesting but hell, why not?) so i’m trying to come up with a good tag! like something that has the name of the game but is also somehow personal to me?? it’s just that alivewiththesun isn’t the easiest name to work with, i sometimes use awts to shorten it... i could also use rebeca i guess.. any suggestions?

[erlie]

I started reading The Raven Cycle books because I saw your art of the characters and just wanted to say thanks, I just started The Dream Thieves and I'm loving the books so far! :3

I am so happy to hear that!!

that-one-tall-dorky-dude said: Especially now, family matters a lot to me. So gimme a call if you ever change your mind and decide you want to talk cous. Be it about this or anything else. [Finger guns] And it’s completely okay not to always be okay, as long as you want to eventually be okay again and not remain not okay. Because being okay is much nicer than being not okay, okay? Okay.[Blows fingerguns]

sometimes I want to talk but I think I missed the talking train years ago

ugggh aren’t I supposed to be the older cousin with the good advise and shit?? when did you get so grown-up????

alivewiththesun said: i know you don’t like talking and i’ve said this before but i’ll say it again, i have way too much free time and i’m a pretty good listener *finger guns*

I knowww, I’m just ugh. bad. and honestly me talking about myself (holy shit) would just be embarrassing for everyone involved

but listen you both, I appreciate your support a lot, especially now. I actually wrote a longer reply to this yesterday and then had to drop it because I got v emotional but now I’m back and feeling p stable. so yeah, I think I’m gonna start by talking to my parents since it’s them I’m having an issue with right now.

nothing to jumpstart your character development like a bit of real talk, yeah?

[battlecrazed-axe-mage]

Anon 1: Yes? But the end date is October 1st, so right now there’s not a whole lot to do.

Anon 2: Ta-da! :D

@sunreon: Good, good, the plan is working! 😈

Anon 3: Aren’t those neat? They come in orange and pink. You must’ve been surprised :D

Anon 4: Those are Chessex phantom teal! They’re currently in print so you can get them at your local game shop (they can order them if they’re not currently in stock) or any of these usual online suspects.

Anon 5: Hmm...I think the closest would be Chessex confetti borealis, and good luck getting your hands on a set of those. Most sets I can think of are clear with iridescent glitter, not properly holographic.

@weepingdemonviolin: The sparkly clear ones are Chessex’s clear borealis variations--aquerple, clear, and confetti. All three are out of print, but you miiiiight be able to find an aquerple set on Ebay. You’ll have to be more specific about the dark green and marbled teal dice, though.

Anon 6: Yeah! Those are some custom dice from Chessex, I got mine off Ebay but I’m not sure the seller has any more. If you just want some in a similar color without the triple moon, it’s lustrous blue with gold :)

@alivewiththesun: Those are Chessex jade scarab and Chessex teal cirrus :)

character ask thing (for all three girls if you're up for it!): 3, 14, 15, 21, 23, 28

aaaaa thank you so much for asking, friendo!!

3. Biggest regret?

oh man this is p easy. listen, Valdis has been more or less consciously working on her guilt and feelings of failure regarding the deaths of her brother and his family, but she still has ways to go on that front. but she’s not as consumed by guilt anymore.

Des on the other hand has convinced herself that it was right to kill her lover (who had a wife and a small child, but upon finding out about her husband’s infidelity the wife killed herself) but somewhere in the back of her mind Des regrets that more than anything. 

Frida’s simultaenously very YOLO and All The Regrets, but her biggest regret is def drinking that potion of heroes that aged her 42 years and tldr made her pretty insane

14. Most heroic thing they have ever done?

Valdis and her party killed a god. I feel like I need to put that out there. but idk she’s not very heroic otherwise. I mean, she’s gotten some pretty badass HDYWTDTs but most of the stuff she does isn’t glorious, it’s gritty and dirty and done out of necessity. tbh I’m not even sure what heroic means. like, is it supposed to be glorious?? idk one of my fave memories is when the party was in the underdark on an invisible bridge that suddenly started disappearing, and Valdis held onto everyone with her amazing strength and kept them from falling. that is, until the bridge disappeared and they all fell.

Des isn’t super heroic either, and since the campaign she’s gonna be in hasn’t started yet, I think I’ll just say that her heroic deeds are yet to come (she did kill one evil knight boss in the last campaign she was in tho)

Frida isn’t a hero either. the biggest win she’s got is killing a rat swarm by herself. I think story-wise drinking that potion of heroes or whatever its name was was pretty heroic, but it didn’t turn out too well for her so.

15. Most despicable thing they have ever done?

um, Valdis once tortured a duergar for information. she pushed knives under his fingernails and in the end cut off his ear. Good Times.

Des is an assassin. before she got her moral compass in order she used to kill people just for the sake of money. so I suppose that valuing money and personal gain over human (and other humanoid) lives is pretty despicable.

idk I suppose I gotta mention Frida’s drug addiction here, even though that’s now in the past. I haven’t thought of the exact things she’s done for drugs, but I imagine some have been pretty despicable, although I think Frida can mainly just be pathetic at worst.

21. How did they become an adventurer?

Valdis initially became a mercenary because she was good at it and liked traveling, and then she got swiped into all this end-of-the-world-ish stuff and now she’s too attached to her party to stop running with them

Des…… idk yet. right now she’s just an assassin for hire. I think my dm will have some motivation for adventuring planned for her. for now I think Des could become an adventurer because it’s a good way to see the world, get rich and stay a step ahead of some people she doesn’t wanna see. she also rly likes the idea of making the world a better place, so that’s plenty of reasons actually.

Frida ended up as an adventurer partially on accident, really. she, too, was mercenary to begin with, albeit not a very good one, and she’s just tried to keep on the move and earn enough money to pay for her addiction. her party was initially looking for a place to settle down and form a mercenary guild, but it seems they’ve become traveling mercenaries and adventurers now

23. Thoughts on death?

Valdis has seen so much death, especially that of loved ones, lately that her stance on death has changed, I think. death used to be something that happens to everyone sooner or later and it’s useless to try to avoid it, but now, especially when she’s recently discovered that dead people don’t necessarily have to stay dead, death’s become…… a thief, I guess, that takes what’s not theirs and gives nothing back. a lot of people have died around Valdis before their time lately, and it’s starting to piss her off. tldr; I imagine that if Valdis ever gets a chance to meet the Raven Queen, she’ll be angry at her. (stop taking people that matter to her gdi)

as an assassin Des thinks death is a solution. I also think she tends to think of herself as immortal, or maybe unkillable is the best word. overall Des has like. a flippant attitude towards death. how could she not when she can just dish out death?? I think that if anyone needs a chat with the RQ, it’s Des.

as for Frida, it’s really amazing how someone so eager to play with their own life can fear death so much. Frida wanted to be a healer to begin with, and she’s kind of obsessed with keeping people alive. at the same time she’s terrified about her own situation because she’s a young girl in an old woman’s body and she’s scared of the day she dies of old age.

28. What do they do between quests?

I imagine Valdis taking care of her armor and weapons a lot in her freetime. she enjoys reading to some extent when she’s feeling like it, likes exploring and hanging out with her friends (she’s not super big on unfamiliar people)

Des cares about her weapons, too, and I think she’d be rly into shopping. she also likes spending time with people and basically just chilling and doing nothing much.

Frida likes crafts, like crocheting. she’d enjoy hanging out with people, too, but there aren’t any people in her party who she’d want to hang out with atm.
