Post-Campaign Recs

This week, we have six fics that take place post-Campaign 1 and 2! Check them out under the cut, and as always, if you liked them, don't forget to comment and kudos!

After that, it'll be Blindness/Deafness, Focusing on Jester, and then one of the Critter Gen Week Prompts for this year!

Oh! Also! Critter Gen Week is happening! Prompt suggestions are now open, if you've got any ideas.

tagged by @potatoesandsunshine 5 songs that I've been abusing the replay button with and why (only 5?)

Good Enemy - PVRIS : I said hey! I hold the knife by the blade, cause i know how take the pain. I love a good enemy, baby its me, baby its me (it fucks: the bass, the mix, the drums. also peak shipping/blorbo hours)

My Way- SAIMES : Oh, I'm better this way, my way. No, I won't turn away til I say. No, I'm better this way, my way. No, you don't understand so please stop pretending (retro, the music video is a vibe, recent addition to my DnD character's playlist, he's come so far *cries*)

Color Your Night- Persona 3 Reload OST: Another wander in the night, let me paint the view. Color the town with my light, for every moment spent with you. (THE BASS, THE PIANO. its so smooth I'm going to bite something! Also I know I'm a persona girlie through and through at this point but can you blame on the music front at least?)

The Garden- Crane Wives: My stone, My shield, my steady hand. Hold your light to the darkness in my head. Put your ear to my heart or set your teeth against my throat, give me something pretty to wear beneath my bloodstained clothes. (good old damning love, the end is also a banger, blorbo thoughts)

Dirty Imbecile - Happy Fits: Love my mom and love my daddy, sure they messed me up but that is, voices that they left inside of my head. Darling, dearest don't you see? I'm tough, I'm smart, I'm bourgeoisie and I'll play out this lie until we're all dead. (different character thoughts, also love the chorus and the overlapping part)

oh by the way, in Danish, "fag" means "subject" and "slut" means "end" so on library shelves you will see "fag slut" to note where the break in book topics is

pronounced fay' sloot

@protectoroffaeries

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.
