i think josie's personal quest missed a trick given that we're playing as the herald of andraste, orlesians believe in a divinely mandated right to rule and are the only country to do so, and we're trying to bring back a lost noble house. (source for below)

like minister bellise is just. generically haughty.

but given that we're told orlais believes in this divine right to rule, she COULD have been written as like genuinely believing keeping others from joining the nobility is a way to honor the maker-- after all, surely if they were meant to be noble, they would have been born so? or if she makes it more and more difficult, then only the ones the maker smiles upon get past her?

and i guess the game then 'tests' the nobility? if you fail, then you didnt have the maker's favor, and if you succeed, then he smiles on you? is playing the game and playing it well a form of worship to some orlesians?

and how does our position as the supposed 'herald of andraste' play into this? if we're chosen by andraste, allegedly, and then choosing to uplift a noble house, how does that intersect with divine right to rule? surely someone has some feelings on that! and if we can uplift one house, what about others?

its just. we have a very clear intersection between religion and nobility and we should have been able to interact with that! so was this codex entry nothing more than the overblown complaint of a ferelden bann or was it an actual commentary on how the empire views its nobility?

Okay I was talking with R about this last night but I'm rotating May and October in my head rn because here's the facts:

- October is the reason Mirrors is dead. This was done using the marvellous winning in some way

- October has some form of power over dreams and sleep as well

- May and October are still regularly in contact, shown in The Bloody Wallpaper (and May is also scared of her. Good)

- May is also a marvellous player

So

Were they in cahoots?

@vcndetta: you look lovely in that dress, by the way. ( lexi and josie )

"thank you." josie smiled as she looked over her own outfit. "and yours looks so good too. do you have a date tonight?" she asked, getting much better by now at drowning out the extra noise she doesn't need.

― @wvsteria asked: i'll be with you the whole time. follow me. - ava & josie

❝ wait, let me just take a sip of the drink i ordered ❞ ava moved the glass up to her lips, sipped on the drink ❝ i told the bartender to surprise me. now, where are we going? we should be careful ❞ she was not much for alcoholic drinks, but this one was sweet and didn't taste too much of it.

Josie tried -- and failed -- to pay attention to her mother dictating her schedule for the week over their meal, poking at the tomatoes on her plate, ignoring the look she was getting from her brother. She already knew what it was going to be anyway, and so she didn't feel too bad about not actively listening. By the end of the evening, she was just grateful to be left alone, trying to find comfort in the darkness of her bedroom -- though mostly she felt stuck -- as she stared blankly at the ceiling, hoping for a distraction. It seemed her prayers were answered, as a knock snapped her out of her trance, and a smile spread across her face when her eyes finally adjusted to the dark and she saw him. Josie pushed the window open and gently pulled him inside, careful to not make a sound because her mother would surely not be pleased if she found out. "I thought you couldn't come today," she said, her voice barely above a whisper as to not disturb the other residents of their household. "We should probably start finding new ways to see each other, huh? Don't want you breaking your neck making that climb."

OUR SONG — the only time he can see her is when the lights are off and everyone is asleep. he's not exactly the most popular guy in town. he knows he doesn't have the best reputation, and he won't attempt to dispute that. he's aware of his actions, and he himself isn't a fan of his choices. however, the one thing he disagrees with is the notion that he's a negative influence on those around him. he keeps that part of his life separate and distant from those he cares about the most. he gently knocks on her window as soon as the lights go out. "come on, it's cold out," he whispers, his knocks a subtle rhythm against her windowpane. @moonrvier

No shit, Sherlock. I was actually looking to see if I had herbs when I mis-clicked.

continued for @vacillatcs from here

ezra failed to see what could possible stop them from calling quits if neither wanted this. but she was mad, she was lashing out in best way she could - be an embarrassment and no one will want her. " three years? three years of my life wasted away ." her brother had promised her her life wouldn't be like this, married off to someone for an alliance. but even he couldn't keep that promise. " how else am i suppose to have fun though? "

guys

guys i need to share my Twin Peaks x Edge of Midnight au. I dont know if anyone in the avantris fandom watches twin peaks so this is probably for a very niche community but I have to share bc im so normal rn

- Marius: just your normal guy in Twin Peaks, except sometimes appears in Cooper’s dreams to tell him clues. Dream Marius knows a lot more than real Marius, but he definitely has unnatural instincts when it comes to the town

- Lethica: a watercolor painter, friends with Josie, is very caring and does her best to help with the investigation. She’s pretty mysterious and sometimes only gives info when she’s asked

- Farryn: lives in a cabin in the woods, friends with the Log Lady, always gives Cooper a homemade charm to protect him. Knows whats going on with the owls and doesn’t like it

- Yorgrim: the guy no one wants to mess with, despite being chill. Can commune with spirits and knows about the Black Lodge but doesn’t wanna talk about it because who the hell does

- Jericho: the town’s performer! Gets along very well with Cooper and despite being a bit paranoid is cheerful in friendly. Except also he’s very possessed but Virgil who knows about Bob and Mike (and maybe who killed Laura) but taunts Cooper endlessly with keeping that info out of reach

- Briggsy: a fisherman who’s friends with Pete and lowkey thinks he’s a pirate. He knows there’s nasty stuff going on in the town but really its non of his business

- William Van Brunt: the town sexyman, has dirt on literally everyone and has ties with Leo and Hank. Despite being an asshole and a flirt and generally unhelpful with the investigation, he’s mostly uninvolved with Laura’s murder other than knowing stuff about Leo and possibly Ben Horne

Teddy had a very important question for the Countess, so he’d shown up to the Hermance house with flowers in hand and nervous jitters running through his veins. As he waited in the drawing room for Josie, he rehearsed his question over and over and over again. He was well aware of how fast he’d fallen for Georgiana, but he was most ardently devoted to her. He was in love and despite what others said, he was certain that he wanted to marry her — he’d have Georgiana for the rest of his life, or he’d have no one.

As Josie walked into the room, Teddy bowed to her and handed her the small bouquet of flowers. “Countess, I hope my visit isn’t a disturbance,” he spoke giving her a small smile. He had to remember — stand tall, don’t be too loud, and refrain from smiling too much. This was serious.

If  Raphael  had  learned  anything  over  the  years,  it  was  that  Josephine  Hermance  rarely  did  anything  unless  it  benefited  her—or,  at  the  very  least,  amused  her.  That  was  precisely  why  he  had  caught  her  before  she  could  slip  away,  intercepting  her  just  past  the  velvet-draped  entrance  of  Gentleman  Jack’s.

The  club  was  alive  with  its  usual  hum  of  activity—glasses  clinking,  low  laughter  mingling  with  the  occasional  exclamation  of  victory  or  loss.  The  air  was  thick  with  cigar  smoke  and  the  quiet  thrill  of  men  wagering  sums  they  had  no  business  losing.  But  Raphael’s  focus  was  singular,  his  sharp  eyes  fixed  on  Josephine  as  he  leaned  against  the  edge  of  an  unoccupied  card  table,  a  deck  already  in  hand.

“  Come  now,  Josie,  ”  he  drawled,  the  nickname  slipping  easily  past  his  lips,  as  it  always  had.  “  One  game.  For  old  times’  sake.  ”  He  shuffled  the  deck  idly,  the  cards  slipping  between  his  fingers  with  effortless  precision.  “   You  wouldn’t  deny  me  the  chance  to  remind  you  who  always  won,  would  you?   ”

started drafting scene of the next fic chapter in my brief downtime, and giggling to myself wondering if May has practice dodging bolts of ice from being around January

on one hand I don't think january is at risk of physical startlement like Josie is. on the other hand it's funny
