It's a lonely life for witchers

[raviollies]

DMed a oneshot for the friendos and got a new achievement : making a player cry!

The premise was that a Hag pulled them into her domain which was shaped by their dreams and desires, particularly Blythes! So it was a big fancy Villa with a ballroom, opera haus, fancy dinner, everything - and immediately somethings were different.

Arameia woke up NOT a werewolf and Lorelai woke up a HUMAN and not undead. Rosy cheeks, freckles and all (she was very weirded out over not being able to hear or smell as good).

For Arameia - the dream manifested her parents, alive and well, and her pet dog Lancelot, no longer geriatric. The horror of becoming an orphan never occurring. For Lorelai, it took away her vampirism, and the root cause...her father alive and well - though distant. It wasn't that she wanted to see him...but rather proof of wiping her sin away. For Eirwen, it wiped away her Sharrian past, and the tattoo that came with it, and gave her more friends, so she'd never be lonely. And for Raha.... Well let's just say he folded like a lawn chair in a hurricane.

Upon meeting her the gang had a lot of discussion as to how & why, though the concept of a motherly Blythe left everyone...concerned.

Since the party was a bit of a pickle not sure where to find Raha or Blythe since they're the only party members they haven't met up with, a certain special someone made an appereance...in the form of a kitty cat!

Theta explained that the dream is made up of Blythes wishes and desires : to have her friends with her and never die, her favourite food, a library full of artifacts, an extravagant villa with ballrooms - and the little changes to them was the Witch tapping into their own desires to keep them placated and comfortable...so they may just decide to forego reality and dream...like Blythe and Raha have. She does not want her precious petal just slowly withering away, being a meal, in another Witch's domain, that's her job, so she gives the party hints on how to break out before the Witch zaps her the hell out (she couldn't just enter as Witch's power is absolute within her domain, so it would take a lot longer for her to wiggle in strong enough to do anything substantial)

She introduces herself as Wunsch...the party can deduce she is a Night Hag (this is where I say I just made her Fae and idgaf) (as per my fae characters, she has freaky eyes...in this case it's a starry sky instead of pupil!) . She asks the party if there is "anything else she can do"...the party notices little things change around the dream, like suddenly even more food, some of their favourites, or new faces.

In order to find Blythe they needed to restore stopped time, and find the three clockhands for a magical clock...1 of them was behind some riddles, the other one, behind a test of friendship where they had to answer 3 things correct about the person in front of them. The last key, most horrifyingly...was inside Arameias parents.

THIS IS WHERE I MADE THE PLAYER CRY HEHE....Arameia decided she will do it herself, as she already buried them once...she does eventually manage to kill them (it was very sad because they did not Want to Die), and get the key...but not without a lot of heart ache and tears....Thankfully Lorelai was there for plenty of hugs...

Then they finally meet Raha! Who has fully drank the kool-aid and started dreaming, and he stands before them...he doesn't want them to break the spell. He fights for Blythe's dream...and his own...unwilling to let them take way her or his daughter....and that he and Blythr have nothing in the real world, no family, no home. Just hardship...and eventually he'll just die, and leave Blythe all alone.

After defeating him, the Witch takes matter into her own hands, as the party falls into the "bedroom" where Blythe is sleeping & have to fight the actual Hag herself in her true form...or rather wake up Blythe until the clock strikes 12 and the dream is fully manifested and unable to be stopped.

Wunsch's true form is a giant marble like lion with white feathers and a 4 armed upper body reminiscent of a sphinx. In the cracks of the marble a night sky can be seen, she doesn't particularly have many offensive spells, mostly relying on her enemies being slowed/confused/held/dominated until the timer runs out. (All the reflective shards were of Blythes &co's dreams and nightmares...the party gone, Raha withering and dying in bed, Theta, herself becoming a true hag ... or happy family for Arameia as an example...Eirwen surrounded by friends and Lorelai laughing with the party)

But the party manages to wake Blythe up using all that they've learned!! That yeah she wants these magical tomes and artifacts...but everything in here would have been things she's already found...she can never 'discover' anything new in a dream she's created, so let's go adventuring!

How she's always wanted to try Tarrasque steak but without trying she could never imagine the taste...so why not come with them and kill one?

That she's not safe from Theta in here, and if she was able to get in once, she can get it in again...so lets get out of here and break your curse!

That yeah they'll live eternally, but they won't be 'them' anymore...over time they'll have their edges smoothed over and it won't be the same people because we don't get to grow and experience new things...That Raha loves her the way she is...and that she's not a hideous monster...

When the party awakens, completely normal with..all the curses and stuff, they find out that time hasn't moved since they've fallen asleep, and immediately run to find Blythe and Raha...who don't remember anything that happened, and assume that maybe some ghost got them into a nightmare but they broke out of it. Arameia/Eirwen/Lorelai decided to keep some facts to themselves, like the presence of the child or fighting Raha.

Hilariously, they assume they had too much 'willpower' to be got by such a spell, despite in actuality being the only ones to fold. The gang did have a newfound appreciation for them realizing that yes...Blythe does love them a lot and that they don't know much about Raha and haven't been very good friends.

BUT IT ALL ENDED BITTERSWEET.,....with the gang now being sure all of them love each other and they can move from confronting their trauma and go forward...with fwiends :)

Edge of Midnight episode 6 spoilers

Jericho describing his past, and insisting that the hags must’ve cared for him because they said they did. And everyone else just quietly listening to him, asking questions when need be, and then saying that Jericho is as much of a victim of the hags as he is their creation, I just.

And it’s not like Jericho is innocent, of course. But also…he’s not entirely guilty? It feels kind of like an automaton pied-piper sort of situation. They made him for a purpose, and that purpose—from what I’ve gleaned so far—was to lure people to the hags hut so they could do whatever ritual they wanted to, and then once they did that, they turned Jericho into some kind of living cage. To wander alone, an abomination to many, with only the cruel words and ideations from Virgil to accompany him.

Congratulations house of the dragon for bringing back my obsession with dragons

[fluxweeed]

hey. hope this message doesn't bother you. I love you. I love your work. you are one of my favorite fic authors, I am absolutely obsessed with everything you write. reread everything ten times over, drarry or not, fluffy or angsty - even when it absolutely shatters my heart (e.g. for lack of wanting, SUCH a great fic btw i'm so obsessed with it). the four doors? life changing. two to lie and one to listen? engraved into my brain for eternity. what's mine is yours? what a ride holy shit, im VERY normal about it. wrapped? my comfort read. and so it goes.

if I could aggressively smother you with kudos and love I WOULD!!!

awhile ago you said that there's no such thing as "big deals" in fandom and I 100% agree but at the same time you are a big deal TO ME!!! not in the sense of any kind of hierarchy but purely based on the fact that I think you are such a cool person and your writing is amazing and poignant and your presence in fandom makes it so much better. it's been a pleasure following you here on tumblr and just reading your tags and posts.

idk I just think you rule. that's it. thank you for hanging with us. MWAH 💛

ahhhh anon sorry for leaving this message sitting in my inbox for a couple of days but !! i have zero idea how to react to this!! you're so kind!! thank you!! please discard any and all inclinations u have that i am a cool person bc i can assure you i am NOT!!

[allpromarlo]

no u don’t understand. i NEED megumi to come back and beat the brakes off of sukuna so badly, he’s gonna regret ever looking at him the wrong way

sometimes I think about writing and singing music not because I’m an incredible singer but because no one has my fucking voice, especially in popular music, and its disheartening to be born a girl, told you’ll only get girl roles or try to voice match other girls, or ‘sing with the girls’ and then only be able to match male voices because you’re a fuckin tenor and not anything higher. I can’t think of any girl Broadway roles I can hit all the notes on. Most songs I love I have to pitch down for myself or use falsetto for singing along to. It bothers me a lot less now because I’m an adult who’s more secure in myself but as a teen in kids musical theatre it FUCKED with me, BAD style. And I know for a fact that even now when I hear people with a voice like mine singing I get excited and immediately invested in their work because they’re like ME, finally, for once. A brother in this world of being afab and having the voice of a recently pubescent boy forever. Maybe I should be that brother too.

hag with amnesia... stuck in fort five year old human lady form....

[swordmaid]

thinking about a particular astarion Thought based on some posts that I’ve seen on twitter/reddit and i think (and im specifically talking abt his spawn route) I prefer the idea that when tav/durge/whoever his lover is passes, I like the idea that he learns how to move on from that loss and love despite them being gone. I don’t think he’ll kms once they died or give up loving completely. the conclusion of his arc is learning how to live again, moving on from the things that he’s survived from, not letting his past define himself and all that and I think learning how to grieve and mourn, and live on despite such a heavy loss is part of that journey. and I do think experiencing loss of a loved one is one of the things he had made/or will make peace with as a vampire/immortal since he’s accepted his own nature as well. also think it’s a contrast to the ascendant route where he keeps you by his side and promises you eternity. in that route he doesn’t have to worry about grieving or mourning since you’re bound to him forever as his spawn and also as an undead, but in the spawn route I think he’s well aware of you mortality and whatever time there’s left will be cherished and lived to its fullest.

and specifically for hag romance bc they’re on my mind 24/7 I don’t think shri’iia will want him to mourn her forever since she’s such a big advocate of taking control of your own fate and refusing to stay stagnant. knowing that he loves her and he had lived on once she’s gone is enough for her.

I love ur art so so much, I still stare at ur jokerlove week drawings sometime in awe. U hv the best ideas & such a gorgeous style

(can’t say my ideas are the best tho compared to the rest of the fandom - im just old and just wanna see my blorbos being cute/silly with the occasional “wtf” moment but yknow, its food good enough for me!!!)

[gardenerian]

Hope this fandom is doing well. I guess it was sorta inevitable but this summer felt so quiet on here in this Gallavich bubble. A bittersweet thing but the memories still live on.

hi ❤️ i'm sorry if i played any role in making you feel this way. my brain has just been so..... quiet? lately? weird, right? if you can believe it, i just don't feel the need to run my ridiculous mouth and i don't think anyone needs to hear the crickets and/or circus music in my head 😬 but i'm still so in love with you all and i love to pop in and see what's going on. i don't quite know wtf this blog is right now, but it always comes back around 🍅 i'm still haunting the fanfic library and SCN, you can't get rid of me so easily.

but it seems to me that the summer has been pretty productive! gallavich week was a good time, then we had AUgust and kinktober is right around the corner. and the tropes challenge is also upcoming. so there's been plenty of art and fic posted from what i can tell! gallacrafts and galladrabbles are going strong. we're still here, still queer, etc. 🏳️‍🌈 much love much love ✨

"you can't put alicent in a mother's day asoiaf comp because she's not a good mother and that's okay :)" but you have no problem with cersei fucking lannister in it when half her affc chapters are just about how abysmally she fails as a mother to her children so i think you're just a cunt
