#but she remembers these fuckers

Avatrice + playing the legend of zelda

Thank you for the prompt! Here is something silly:

"Bea!"

Beatrice's head whips round as a scream erupts from the next room. She flings her laptop - hoping it lands on the bed - and rushes out to the living room, her socks skidding on the hardwood floor.

Her heart is racing and it takes a moment to register what she's looking at because her brain is frantically trying to identify a threat and finding none. Ava is sitting on the sofa, controller in hand, looking at her with imploring eyes.

"Ava, you scared the life out of me!" She takes a steadying breath, trying to adjust to the apparently mundane situation. 

"I'm sorry," Ava whines, "but I need your help."

Beatrice narrows her eyes, "With?"

Ava holds the controller out towards her, her other hand flailing towards the TV screen. "The zombies, Bea!"

Beatrice takes a few steps into the room to look at the screen. It appears to be a town square with some ominous looking figures standing all around it. "There are zombies in Zelda?"

Ava pats the seat beside her and Beatrice sits. Immediately Ava latches onto her arm, curling into her. "I mean, they're not called that but basically. But the sound they make, Bea. It's horrifying."

Beatrice looks back at the pixelated picture before her. Certainly it looks unpleasant but she can't imagine it could be anything as serious as horrifying.

Still, she dutifully takes the controller as it is handed to her. "You know I'm not very good at this."

"You don't have to fight them. You just have to walk past them and not get caught."

Beatrice looks down at Ava and frowns. "You don't even have to engage with them?"

Ava scoffs and squints at the screen, "Oh they engage, trust me."

Beatrice is still a bit bewildered but she'll help anyway. Then she can get back to her own tasks.

She starts moving the joystick, Ava's grip tightening around her arm, and tries to manoeuvre past the strange humanoid creatures that are groaning unnervingly. 

Suddenly, there's a terrible, piecing screech and Beatrice feels herself jump as Ava sucks in a breath beside her.

Her heart leaps and adrenaline starts flooding in as she realises her character has frozen. The creature is slowly approaching. A dark menacing, blurry thing that is getting closer and closer whilst she is helpless to do anything about it. 

Beatrice finds herself mashing buttons, pulling the stick back and forth trying to make something happen. "What do I do?"

Finally the controls start working again and she runs as Ava shrieks, "Go, go!"

She gets caught one more time before making it to the exit and they both exhale in relief.

She hands the controller back and starts to get out of the seat but Ava is still clinging to her.  "Wait. Stay with me?"

"I was going to make dinner soon," Beatrice says, entirely in vain as she looks at Ava's big pleading eyes.

"Please? What if I need emergency kisses?"

Beatrice tries with all her might to keep a straight face but it doesn't take long for her to crack with a laugh. "What kind of emergency would that be?" 

"A very serious one. One that couldn't possibly be helped by anyone else but you."

"Well, I suppose I simply must stay close by then." Beatrice drawls, leaning her face in towards Ava, their mouths only centimetres apart. She feels Ava's hot breath against her lips but just as Ava moves to close the gap, she pulls back with a smirk.

Ava huffs and pouts and Beatrice has to hold back another laugh. 

"At least let me get my laptop first. We  can order food instead."

Ava's face lights up and she lets go of Beatrice's arm as a wiggle works its way through her body. "Yes! Okay, your pick this time. For being my brave Knight." 

Beatrice pecks her on the cheek before going to retrieve her laptop - which thankfully remains unharmed from her earlier panic - and they spend the rest of the night curled up together on the sofa.

Zionists/Symathizers who say "Palestinians should be taken by Egypt/Lebanon/Jordan and just live there forever" have no idea what a refugee camp is like.

Schneider is SICILIAN, not Italian. YOU ARE WRITING HER WRONG.

Yes, this post is directed towards YOU, fan fiction authors!! And— yes, I will admit, it sounds a little confusing, but I’ll elaborate.

Schneider is an immigrant from Sicily, which, in all due respects to everybody who writes her speaking standard Italian, HAS ITS OWN LANGUAGE!! (Or dialect..? Aye aye aye, I am not awake enough to perpetuate one side or another of a centuries-old argument.)

For more information, you can go to a website somewhere on the interwebs (like this one!: https://mangolanguages.com/resources-articles/sicilian-and-italian-whats-the-difference/) or simply take a look at Schneider’s wiki page!

So, sí, Reverse 1999 officially makes the distinguishment here: her mother tongue is Sicilian!

The next time you pick up your keyboard (or.. phone, if that’s your thing?) to write a fic, stay away from the Italian google translate screen— as tempting as it may be!— and go to a website like Glosbe instead to use the Sicilian translator there; given you’re trying to write a vulnerable moment where she expresses herself in the first language she’s ever learned to.

I apologize if anything in this post is overly fired-up or aggressive. My family (particularly my grandfather) have been looked at like they were insane when they spoke Neapolitan in the middle of Rome, so the distinguishment between Italian and its sister languages is very important to me— as well as other Italian fans of the game, I’m sure.

That’s all for this post! Happy writing :3

Little doodle of my Durge Mervenna

Mervenna Ilphelhir was the star bhaalspawn within the cult in Baldur's Gate, which reflected negatively on her early life. Despite being arrogant, despicable, and sure of her strength, Mervenna was a deeply lonely individual whose "familial" relationships were marked by immorality and isolation.

The only exception to this was Drilira A'Daryr, a bhaalist drow of her same age— whom Mervenna ends up offering as a ritual sacrifice and carving up herself.

Murdering her only genuine friend caused many conflicting emotions in Mervenna. The horrifying mix up of delight, terror, guilt and instinct resulted in her consciousness shattering, and her ultimate escape from the cult.

Mervenna then adopted a life of religious, lawful righteousness, becoming a Paladin of Vengeance.

Her oath to persecute the vile and cruel was nothing but an unconscious reflection of how she felt towards herself; she became a woman dedicated to her own downfall.

Her arc throughout the game involves her growing ever curious about her surroundings, navigating the world as if she were a newborn due to her amnesia, and gaining a new understanding and appreciations of life itself— particularly through cleansing the Shadow cursed lands.

Mervenna eventually becomes a cleric or Mielikki.

So I was hanging out with some friends and one of them brought up their old roommate, a girl who used to sneeze so loudly that they could hear it when they were outside the apartment complex, and they would text her "bless you". But it doesn't stop there. Apparently, the girl also had a dad sneeze and blew her nose very loudly, which was all described to me in great detail. Vanillas are fckn wild I swear.

Cing deserved what happened to them for releasing a game in 2010 and expecting players to just know that in 1980 you could use an answering machine to play a record tape.

sokeefitz au where keefe is a magician, fitz is his assistant (who also learned how to sword swallow just to occasionally upstage keefe at his shows because he's petty but doesn't know how to pull a quarter from someone's ear), and sophie is marella's newest friend that's getting dragged to one of keefe's magic shows and holy wow ok marella was not kidding about the magician and his assistant being hot. cue keefe pulling roses out of his sleeve for sophie midshow because he knows a cutie when he sees one (after getting a subtle okay from fitz, who is his boyfriend but most people only know about the childhood friends part). and fitz getting to know her after the curtains close and asking her if she wants to hang out sometime. and keefe crashing that meetup when it happens halfway through because he can't help himself and knows fitz won't mind.

and them becoming friends that hang out a lot outside of shows, and sophie being keefe's most reliable regular. that DEFINITELY aren't flirting, marella, c'mon, fitz leaving out scarves for her to steal at their apartment she now frequents more than her own and learning her favorite treats to bake for her and keefe constantly throwing his arm around her and complimenting her w/ ten million winks is strictly platonic in this context

Can't imagine playing DAI without Sera.... she's essential to my Inquisitor's sanity. I cannot fathom being surrounded by oceans of insufferably self-important nobles and the local episcopal see without her to make the experience not only bearable but entertaining. Now where's my guillotine

As delicious as it is, cooked food doesn't really do much for Khare. The cooking process breaks down the DNA found in meat and other animal products meaning that it actually becomes less nutritional for her. It's the building blocks of life that her body needs to slow down the mutation process, digesting what she consumes instead of attacking her own body's DNA. She hasn't had much reason to eat raw just yet as cooking is a longterm staple of humanity, but a good raw steak will do her so much better than some leftover scraps from the kitchen.
