six months since || just another day, thank god

and i am glad, so deeply glad, that six months since the worst day it is just a normal day. i feel normal. i am on meds now. i am happier. i am in therapy. and i am no longer in the space. a thousands times happier and a thousand times more stable. i do things that make it easier for me to move through the world instead of just pushing through. it is another day and tomorrow will be another days and those days will bleed into a future.

hello tavran gregory enjoyers. a lovely person from the discord server grabbed some screenshots of The Boy with accurate scarring (a mod i can't use) and I have decided to share a selection of those photos here. Below the cut for lack of shirt ;) (and blood)

What Astarion saw on their first meeting:

Fresh off the nautiloid- left, urges be urging; right, that's just my favorite face that he makes 🥺

And two photos as inspiration for OD. The left, how Astarion found him in the secret cave ( :( ) in chapter 57; and right, the look he would have given Willem after waking (pretend it's dark and underground, ok)
