in his interlude they mention (quite skate over it too) that people at chaldea aren't affected by diarmuid's love spot. like, i love it??? diarmuid deserves so much. he must have a hard time realizing when people are being genuine

in any interaction, in the back of his mind he's probably thinking "is this person being genuine or is it the curse?" it takes a while of him walking on glass around this facility and his new master. his new master that grins at him when they see him. that invites him to are they really like this? just for him to have a place to rest mentally means a lot.

"That makes sense." Aventurine could relate to the feeling of being on edge and the anxiety. His fate was always hanging by a thread, after all.

"There's some coffee in the lobby. Or, I could order you a better coffee from a nearby coffee shop, extra espresso." By could, of course he meant he was going to. He already had his phone out and the app open.

"How do you like your coffee, friend?"

Artist Point, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park, September 2023

I'd hoped to shoot the milky way on this trip, but I made the rookie mistake of not checking the lunar calendar before we booked, so I was stuck with a full moon and no milky way to be seen. But shooting with the moonlight was fascinating. The way it lit up the canyon like broad daylight was utterly wild. If only the moon had had the decency to scooch a little to the left and light up the falls.

// Amara was a bigger challenge then I thought. She is a mix of modern and classic and had to experiment colors again and end up keeping it much simpler and it works. I'm very proud of this edit so much.

"When the physical and astral bodies are in perfect congruence, they look very much alike in shape, form, and essence. Transgendered individuals almost all have an astral body that reflects some aspect of their internal conception of their gender, although it may be more or less hermaphroditic than their internal conception. This is one of the few types of inherent dissimilarity. (Other inherent dissimilarities involve being not-quite-entirely human, and that is beyond the scope of this article.)"

- Excerpt from the essay "Body Congruence," by Joshua Tenpenny, printed in Raven Kaldera's book Hermaphrodeities: The Transgender Spirituality Workbook (Hubbardston, MA: Asphodel Press, 2008), page 312.

Some language notes: Seeing "transgendered" and "hermaphrodite" as less than ideal word choices was an idea that took time to catch on. In this book's particular time period and LGBTQI social circles, the writers saw these as acceptable words. By "astral body," the author means a spiritual counterpart of the body (p. 311).

@miercolaes rolled a nat20 : it is an affront to nature. it must be destroyed. / for gale

You certainly won't find Gale disagreeing with Wednesday's assertion. The morality of necromancy as a school of magic is heavily debated as it is ( though Gale isn't about to condemn an entire discipline of the arcane on principle alone ) , however some things are simply too far.

This, he would not hesitate to assert, is most certainly too far.

The eerie aura of the corrupted mass of Weave softly pulsates, its sickening yellow-green glow casting everything in a bilious shades of light. It reminds the wizard of that repulsive ( and yet simultaneously intriguing ) bit of Shadow Weave he had dissolved in Balthazar's hidden laboratory back in Moonrise. Easy enough for him to do the same here and now, he figures.

❝ I concur, ❞ he replies, frowning at the complex runes surrounding the pulse of magic. They've been carved into the wood of the table and the corruption of dark necromantic energy has seeped into the grain, creating a spider-webbing pattern of green sinew so deep it appears nearly black.

There is that same impulse, somewhere in the back of his mind, that bids him to harness this magic. He could use it, certainly, and he would be immeasurably more responsible in its wielding. What a waste it would be to simply destroy something so undeniably powerful.

No, he chides himself. Hubris would not be his downfall. Better to destroy something inherently corrupt, he reasons. Besides ; Wednesday would likely strike him down were he to attempt such a thing.

Gale rubs his hands together, already pulling at the strands of the Weave he will need to dispel such foul magic. ❝ Shall I dissolve this abomination? ❞

( @starbvund from Lae'zel ) Lae’zel took out a shorter blade from her pack. Without grace or ceremony she began chopping at the ogre’s neck. She was decapitating him. Her kill among the abandoned village. Finished she held her prize firmly in her grip. “One must always take a war prize when offered. Perhaps they will think twice before attacking us again.” She fully intended to prepare and display it at her tent as a warning.

Karlach wasn't new to such gory actions, shown by her lack of grimace and her remaining steadfast rather than recoiling as most would. Her technique was flawless - something she had come to expect from the woman at this point.

"I get that. My camp used to have the odd trophy here or there. My best one was an orthon skull I kept as a side table. Do you know what those are? Big bastards." Though, she wasn't in Avernus anymore. She felt very strongly that the others in camp wouldn't be as nonchalant about Lae'zel's chosen decoration.

"...Maybe set up your tent close to Astarion for a bit." Least then the stench of the dead would be restricted to one part of the campsite.

@excultum asked: ❝  it  was  more  a  change  of  heart.  ❞ ;; from Gladio! | ANASTASIA MEME | Accepting

If there was one word that Joshua had to use to describe Gladio it would have been, very simply - serious. There were other words he could use as well, words in tandem, but the first and foremost was just how... unfun he could be.

It wasn't his fault. It was his job, his duty to make sure the Prince was always taken care of. Joshua could only guess at some of the things that he may have even been forced to go through growing up. Stern lessons and events that would have driven home the fact that all that mattered was Noctis' safety. And there was no denying that protecting the prince was important.

Did it just have to come at the cost of Gladio having anything that resembled a life?

The offer had just been to go for a walk. At night, after everyone had gone to bed, but it wasn't like the Prince would really be alone or left defenseless. An offer that Joshua had been sure Gladio would end up turning down. How could he not, after all? It'd be doing something other than his duty...

And so he blinked hearing those words, followed by smiling. "Really?" I didn't think I'd live to see the day."
