I'm a sucker for anything related to the childhood of Artemis - Apollo, so imagine my joy when I saw these 18-19th century gems depicting the babies & their mama!!

Leto seated under a palm tree, with her infants Artemis and Apollo

The infant Apollo nursed by the nymphs

Themis feeding nectar to young Apollo

Leto and her twins in the presence of Poseidon

Leto punishing the Lycian peasants by turning them into frogs

Leto and her children fleeing from Python

Tityus pursuing Leto

A list of Sherlock Holmes's Hyperfixations Monographs

"Yes, I have been guilty of several monographs. They are all upon technical subjects." (The Sign of Four)

Tobacco ash: Upon the Distinction between the Ashes of the Various Tobaccoes - "I have, as you know, devoted some attention to this, and written a little monograph on the ashes of 140 different varieties of pipe, cigar, and cigarette tobacco." (The Boscombe Valley Mystery) / "I have made a special study of cigar ashes—in fact, I have written a monograph upon the subject. I flatter myself that I can distinguish at a glance the ash of any known brand, either of cigar or of tobacco." (A Study in Scarlet) / "Here, for example, is one ‘Upon the Distinction between the Ashes of the Various Tobaccoes.’ In it I enumerate a hundred and forty forms of cigar-, cigarette-, and pipe-tobacco, with colored plates illustrating the difference in the ash." (The Sign of the Four)

Trailing/Tracking - "Here is my monograph upon the tracing of footsteps, with some remarks upon the uses of plaster of Paris as a preserver of impresses." (The Sign of the Four)

Hands and occupations- "Here, too, is a curious little work upon the influence of a trade upon the form of the hand, with lithotypes of the hands of slaters, sailors, corkcutters, compositors, weavers, and diamond-polishers." (The Sign of the Four)

Ciphers - "I am fairly familiar with all forms of secret writings, and am myself the author of a trifling monograph upon the subject, in which I analyze one hundred and sixty separate ciphers [...]." (The Adventure of the Dancing Men)

18th century?/historical manuscipts - "It would be a poor expert who could not give the date of a document within a decade or so. You may possibly have read my little monograph upon the subject." (The Hound of the Baskervilles)

Bees/beekeeping: Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with Some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen - "Alone I did it. Behold the fruit of pensive nights and laborious days when I watched the little working gangs as once I watched the criminal world of London.”

Articles:

Theory of criminology: The Book of Life - "Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life,” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examiniation of all that came his way."

To be written:

Malingering - "Malingering is a subject upon which I have sometimes thought of writing a monograph. A little occasional talk about half-crowns, oysters, or any other extraneous subject produces a pleasing effect of delirium.” (The Adventure of the Dying Detective)

Dogs - "I have serious thoughts of writing a small monograph upon the uses of dogs in the work of the detective.” (The Adventure of the Creeping Man)

Typewriters/Typewriting- "I think of writing another little monograph some of these days on the typewriter and its relation to crime." (A Case of Identity)

Please feel free to add what I missed!

Xion from Kingdom Hearts, I gave her a cute little outfit 💜

that dialogue where you talk to Astarion after killing Lorroakan with Dame Aylin has stuck with me, so I finally looked up all the dialogue trees for that conversation, and. well. it's a lot.

the conversation starts with Astarion saying he expected her to be overjoyed, but instead she seemed tired. the first reply for the player is to suggest maybe vengeance isn't all it's cracked up to be, which Astarion dismisses, because of course he does. he's been dreaming of revenge for so long, he couldn't possibly entertain the idea that it won't feel incredible.

but the parts of the dialogue I'm most interested in are the response trees depending on whether Cazador is alive or not, and whether Astarion has ascended or not.

if Cazador is still alive, this is what Astarion says when you ask him how he expects to feel after killing him (black bar in image is to cut out the dialogue from a different tree and just show the relevant nodes):

he has to believe that he'll feel amazing after killing Cazador, that's what's kept him going through all of this.

and then, the really fascinating parts to me, are the ways he responds if Cazador is dead and he's ascended or not (tree 18-352 is what he says if he's ascended. tree 70-329-382 is what he says if he didn't ascend):

i love these moments for showing his different states of mind with ascension or not.

post ascension, he's never been better. it's all worth it, it has to be. he's focused on how good it felt to hurt the man who hurt him, steal his power and take back some of what was taken from him, of getting everything he wanted for 200 years.

for unascended Astarion, he's now got to grapple with the "now what?" post-revenge -- Cazador is dead, but Astarion is still a vampire, and everything Cazador did to him hasn't gone away, and now what does he have to drive him forward? he's lost and ungrounded and has so much to figure out about himself and the future.

i've mentioned this before but i think the thing that separates the two Astarion paths is that ascended Astarion knows how to be what he is - a hedonistic vampire lord. it's what he's known for centuries. spawn Astarion without Cazador doesn't know how to be what he is, and is forced to learn a different way to be.
