Senate Bill 9: A Game Changer in California's Housing Landscape

In the ever-evolving realm of California’s housing policies, one bill stands out as a potential game-changer: Senate Bill 9, also known as the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (“HOME”) Act. This legislation, signed into law on September 16, 2021, aims to address the state’s housing crisis by providing homeowners with a streamlined process to subdivide their urban single-family…

I'm not sure which option is better

Sharing body AU

I'm a firm believer that Shen Jiu is not gonna be normal about Shen Yuan. In a scenario where they share a body, he would hate it at first. There is some kind of parasite in his mind, and he can't get rid of him. He hates it when something is out of his control.

However, it is also comforting? There is someone who can't leave him, who sees all his vulnerability and rot inside his soul, but he's still there, no matter what. He will stay by his side.

Even if they fight, Shen Yuan tingles something in his brain with his different worldview, especially as this brat believes that people aren't born bad. Too forgiving.

In the beginning, he wants him to be gone asap, so he tries to find different ways to get rid of him. But the more he spends time, the more he understands that he should stay he is too dangerous to let go. Obviously, he knows Peak Lord's secrets, so Shen Qingqiu can't let him do unguarded. He's safer here, with him.

The boy has so much vitriol but is still too naive to notice other people's intentions.

So we end here with Shen Jiu's weird situationship with Little Bodysnatcher and the weird codependency they establish meanwhile.

A portrait of Elladora, Phineas and Iola Black to accompany a fanfic I've been writing - Finite Incantatem. Read at your own risk and remember to read the tags before you jump in as it depicts a bit of domestic(?) violence and a toxic relationship. I think I might've ignited a love of painting white fabrics within myself after this one :D

as a fellow rook de riva player i’m really curious how sol took the whole… house egrativi being founded with the specific intention of taking in orphaned kids to become crows. final nail in the coffin moment for my rook personally

this plot thread was the first and easiest target of my mental rewrites because it just... doesn’t make sense, to me? functionally, regardless of thematically. like, i think it suffers the most obviously from the writers not really getting into how the crow power structure works. crow houses are business ventures that require money and manpower. you can’t just start one with a name and a dream while everyone smiles approvingly. also, you can’t just not have belonged to one in the first place! i spent all game trying to figure out if he belonged to the de rivas or the cantoris or the dellamortes or someone else, and when he started his own house at the end of his arc (again, ???) it was very apparent to me that this is just a misinterpretation that there is a general force of crows and the houses are simply nobility among them. no, somebody paid for your training and they want back on that investment so they own you. also, taking in orphans being your grand new venture for the crows is both insane and doesn’t make sense because the crows already do that as one of their main recruiting strategies. teia cantori is standing right in front of you as the evidence!

my provisional rewrite which i think works fairly smoothly without losing too much is that jacobus & his cousin are the sole surviving heirs of one of the three houses whose talons were killed in the antaam plot in tevinter nights: balazar, valisti, and arainai. (my self-indulgent vote is balazar, because the tevinter nights context of the dynamic with teia and viago is juicy. there’s no real reason for it to be arainai and bringing in that name for no reason would be cruel, but you could definitely cook with it if you really wanted to go for it.) naturally, these kids already have a grudge against the antaam, one that teia and viago are struggling to corral while having to treat them like crow hierarchy equals (iirc a balazar or valisti would actually technically outrank them both), and the elder cousin goes and gets himself killed trying. we’re now forced to operate with one of the four houses present in treviso being led by an even younger grieving child who is obviously a liability. this should be good for paralleling lucanis’ immediate future and highlighting what the crows do to their younger generations. in my most ideal of worlds where the crows are truly crow-ish on screen, maybe you’d have a plot choice with no good answers like...

a) teia would present this option. you decide to take a risk on this kid and believe in him and let him stand on his own two feet, and this actually pays off with sudden help in your fight against the governor like it does in the game. he chooses this idealistic, childish direction for his house where they’re taking in kids who have lost their families like him and it will all be one big family again! and he says some suddenly very nervewracking things about how they’ll understand it’s the best place to be eventually and one of the kids got hurt in the governor’s estate but heir has promised they’ll take care of it and train them all so hard they’ll never lose anyone again. he’s going to make sure of it. you’ll see! they’ll take the best contracts until they’re godslayers just like you! there’s a final shot of him standing very small and very alone. and that’s on you

b) viago would present this option. you decide this kid is too much of a risk to count on while you’re trying to save the city and the world, and maybe you care that he’s also a danger to himself. you back house de riva to forcibly seize jacobus’ house and all its assets to get the job done with, while jacobus himself is locked up out of harm’s way until the fight is over. this route also helps in your fight against the governor, there’s no sudden chaotic helping hand but everything goes smoother and cleaner, and hey, there are no children in the fight, if that kind of thing matters to you. however, all the ferocity of jacobus’ grudges turns on you and viago. he hates you. and letting him loose afterwards and giving back his house would be viago, the most paranoid man in thedas, handing a knife back to someone who wants to kill him. (which is, i suppose, the utmost charitable interpretation of viago’s main reasoning to keep hold of a bunch of assets, but no less true.) so they’re just keeping hold of jacobus... indefinitely. and that’s on you

but that’s me being self-indulgent and making it a bigger choice lmao. in answer to your actual question about my rook rather than this massive tangent, yes it was dizzying to stand there as another child was given full crow status and already planning to train other children. the cycles are cyclinggg
