“Set a man to watch all night…”

Hummed, muffled words echoed through the Negotiator’s halls, around corners, behind doors. Every clone, every natborn was on edge, hunted look around their eyes and shoulders. The lights seemed to flicker childhood-bright but to the instruments everything was as it should be.

The campaign had ended so abruptly. A shadow falling over the battlefield like a sun eclipse, Cody’s General… dissolved. For no reason he could discern. Just the perception of Obi-Wan suddenly wavering, literally going up in smoke, and rushing to the sentient enemy commander with a rolling mass of dead groans and screams.

White as a sheet, cowering behind a tank where the smoke left them, the enemy General had begged Cody to accept their capitulation.

Obi-Wan had gone back to his duties, face placid and unassuming. Like nothing of notice had even happened. Cody shivered.

It was the silenced air that had goosebumps break out on Cody’s arms. A forced absence of sounds concentrated in Obi-Wan’s quarters. It let Cody hear the things it wanted him aware of only. Suggestions to his senses he should heed. The steady drip of thick liquid. The blue night-sky-glowing where Obi-Wan’s eyes were supposed to be calm, stormy in color. Not…this.

“General?” Cody asked quietly, eyes adjusting to the dark room. “Obi-Wan? Are you alright?”

“I’ve never felt better, my dear.”

“Are you—“ The lights turned on with a too-loud click and buzz, too bright and Kamino-white. Cody squeezed his eyes shut just to escape.

After a moment he opened them again, blinked against the information his head was picking up automatically. Suppressed the swallow at seeing dark things drip from Obi-Wan’s fingers, onto the table, the floor, his lips. “Are you sure?” Because this seemed anything but okay.

“I am what I’m supposed to be,” Obi-Wan said, almost singing the words, voice melodious and a terror pin pricking Cody’s neck.

TGED Novel Comparison

Look, I like the Webtoon adaptation with all its humor or exaggerated meme expression, but I love the details in the novel even more. Like, this part where we get to see Javier's devotion to protect Lloyd:

Like, he's so down and ready to go take the elves life to safe Lloyd 😭 The utter concern and worry from Javier side described in the novel is just * chef kiss * There's so much moments of heartfelt and tenderness that got skipped in the Webtoon (like the baron dad going on a makeshift picnic with his son), though understandable. Honestly, the vibe between the novel and webtoon are pretty different, how Lloyd does things changed a bit but both medium are enjoyable!

astarion is for the ace girlies i said what i said

[daisywords]

something I've always kind of wanted to write is two unlikely allies on the run together (maybe escaping from a war zone or a disaster?) but they don't speak the same language

but describing body language is hard enough lol I feel like it would work better as a movie or tv series or something, especially with the more neutral perspective of film. I'm never going to make that but it's a concept I would love to see

"Windy, how the heck can you make it work shipping a character with other characters?!"

Simple: when I interpret/write characters (and my OCs) I don't see it as a linear path... I explained to a creative buddy by comparing it to how one would program for a Visual Novel/Hypertextual game.

I don't see one path but MANY paths that go in one direction or another and even, mix together! And I like each path equally, crafting them with the same care because they are all valid to me.

(And I'm always super thankful to my creative buddies for letting me delve into these paths without drama).

The other reason that's a more personal/silly view is that... I only have one life and only one linear path. But in fiction, there's no such limit. So: why I would cut the many possibilities of an imaginary entity and private it of what I can't have?

So, I let characters roam a labyrinth like rats and decide how to navigate based on what I put there for them to take.

... that means too I will sometimes leave a few traps between the treats because I'm a sucker for angst, there's no way to evade that part of me hahaha I think is a good trade for what I offer.
