Christmas Ficlet Ask Game!

Send me a ship or platonic dynamic with a Christmas-y theme, song, or activity, and I'll write a little ficlet!

Rules: No NSFW allowed, and I do have veto power. The relationship/character options are in the tags! Feel free to reblog this and use it yourself!!

(additionally, if you don't have any ideas for prompts, send me one from this list! Or if you're a Kastle fan, send me a prompt for them from these prompts! I'm hoping to write some stories for these celebrations, and a little help wouldn't go amiss!)

thinking about the time galen was having an argument about the existence of a bone in an elephant's heart with a rival and in order to win he demanded that someone go fetch the heart from an elephant that was being cooked up in the emperor's kitchen (???) and bring him the bone from it and he was so proud about winning that he kept it to show off to other people

Look I know this is a post for the like... 1 other person who still cares about the Force Unleashed games, but I feel like we need to appreciate Juno Eclipse more. She wasn't just a bland love interest- The girl was genuinely nuts. She was the youngest person ever accepted into the imperial academy, and then she became one of the best pilots in the whole empire. She joined the Rebellion after Vader "killed" her boyfriend. She FULLY tried to fight Darth Vader with Galen's lightsaber. Like... She's a badass, yes, but we need to recognize how genuinely UNHINGED she was. We stan one (1) woman with 0 self-preservation instincts

Meet the player characters of Curse of Strahd: The Golden Thread

Toby (she/they) is a half-elf wizard/rogue and a private investigator. They’re clever, calculating, and slow to trust, yet they have proven a loyal friend to their companions. An orphan, Toby’s only family was her gnome mentor, at whose hands they suffered a grave betrayal.

Toby is now trying to rid themselves of a curse placed on them by said mentor, while also attempting to navigate their entanglement with all the mysterious powers in Barovia.

…and then there is their slowly blossoming romance with the most dangerous woman in all of Barovia.

Sylenas (he/him) is a bard/warlock half-drow who left his cozy halfling village to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. Unlike the more stereotypical bards, Sylenas is quiet and on the shy side when not on stage, but he’s still as witty as the best of his profession.

The many perils of Barovia have tested the limits of his courage, and in a way, broken and remade him.

Then there is also Sylenas’ patron, an archfey named Fifer, whose attachment to him goes so far beyond the usual patron-warlock relationship, which has caused Sylenas all kinds of issues, both in this life and in the lives that came before.

But hey, what could possibly go wrong when an archfey loves you?

Mirger (she/her) is a happy-go-lucky ranger/rogue half-orc hailing from the mountains. She is kind, courageous, and eager to accept the people around her, but doesn’t shy away from hurting those who deserve it. Having grown up sheltered by her adoptive family, she now seeks adventure, yet Barovia is proving to be a lot more than she bargained for.

Her mysterious connection to a parasitic god, and the ghosts of her ancestors keep on pulling her away from the solid stone she built her understanding of reality on.

Fortunately, Mirger hasn’t just found capable allies in her companions, but also landed herself a girlfriend – Ezmeralda, the famous Vistani monster hunter.

Galen (he/him) is an aasimar/dhampyr cleric of Pelor. While he is noticeably older than his companions, he has also essentially stopped aging… around 200 years ago. He is idealistic, deeply kind, and patient, proving that not all those who have a craving for blood are out to hurt people.

Coming to Barovia, Galen learned that while his companions were all born, he was created, and his body’s essence once belonged to the Barovian demi-god known as the Sun Saint.

Chasing humanity more than divinity, Galen has forged a bond with the Vistani werewolf Arrigal, who knows a thing or two about being mistaken for a monster.

I am listening to T. Kingfisher's Paladin series, and in my mind Galen looks just like Paul Bullion.

"having starkiller introduced in the main continuity would suck!! he's overpowered!! blah blah blah" yes i understand. but counterpoint? vader apprentice vs anakin apprentice is all i've ever wanted. second counterpoint? sam witwer. third counterpoint? sam witwer.

meta incoming but one of the most fascinating themes of rogue one and andor to me is the idea that a parent’s (individualist) love of their child might not be enough to save them from the (structural) violence of the world, so it’s fascinating how fandom managed to sail right past that in a bunch of places
