Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but Will busted from fantasizing about Hannibal’s stag form while having sex with a woman.

Last session Ash got to lead a cavalry charge against a bunch of ghouls, which means I got the rare chance to use their paladin mount in context.

Ignore the fact that they ride a flame-antlered stag into battle. They're not an evil character pinky promise!

Satoru & Suguru - Love in the dark by Adele

Take your eyes off of me so I can leave

I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me

Please, stay where you are Don't come any closer

Don't try to change my mind I'm being cruel to be kind

I can't love you in the dark It feels like we're oceans apart There is so much space between us

Baby, we're already defeated Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Everything changed me

You have given me something that I can't live without You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine

Please, don't fall apart I can't face your breaking heart

I'm trying to be brave Stop asking me to stay

And I don't think you can save me

She gestures to the window and Ivan pauses to look at his reflection. He still looks largely the same as a couple days ago, thin and pale. But he looks better in a way that he can only describe as refreshed and most of all, his hair remains curly but neater.  Seeing it now, it sparks something in him that he can’t describe. Only something along the lines of ‘Oh, there I am.’ He’s never thought that before. There’s a lot he wants to tell her, feelings welling up inside of him. He wants to tell her about how he’s never had someone care for him so tenderly before. That no one has ever cared how he felt about how he looked. That for the first time, he’s looking at a reflection and sees himself instead of the empty void that he’s always been.  In the end, all he can bring himself to say is, “Thank you, Hyuna.”

I love this fic.

When I brewed Asra's backstory, and included the Stag King as the constant romantic torment of her life (for ther past 140 years of her life, more or less), I was deadly set him being a dakr-haired archfey, all broody.

BUT THEN.

I watched "The Hobbit" with my husband yesterday night (part of it anyway), and decided that FUCK IT.

THE STAG KING WILL LOOK *EXACTLY* LIKE THRANDUIL.

He fits perfectly for how I imagine The Stag King: cunty, serving looks for days, a bit of an ass (help me say "a bit"), ethereal because DUH, we are talking archfey here, but all up in his feelings for Asra (also gonna bring those scars he has in play because fml I can never have enough tragic characters in my roster).

If mother and daughter could ever sit and talk for a coffee, they would have stories to share and advices to give to each other lololol.

I like that the main difference between Aranea's and Asra's situation with their two suitors is both parallel and going into different directions at the same time: Aranea sought Mephisto out, she eventually leaned into his charm and power and fully embraced the corruption he brought onto her; Asra, instead NEVER sought the Stag King in the first place, she stumbled into his dreamscape by ACCIDENT (thank goodness for Hiraeth and her cold iron dagger), and while he is trying to actually have her make a pact with him, she is very much like "NOPE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I AM GOOD." (Papa Halsin warned her TIMES AND TIMES AGAIN about the dangers of making pacts with creatures, be them fiends or archfey. He never explained it to her in detail, but that's exactly how she ended up without a mother).

So yeah, this is the Pre-Coffee Morning Bulletin, brought to you by a very sleep-deprived Nemo 😂😂😂

you have no idea how long ive been trying to get these goddamn delicate bat wings

one of my passions is intaglio printmaking. which is essentially a process of scratching away at a copper plate to make lines that are then etched in with acid. you card ink onto the plate and it settles into the lines you created with the acid and then you can print it. it’s a very complicated process and that is a very short version of it. but I’ve been working a series of mock pinned insects that I’m drawing and creating through intaglio prints, cutting out, and then attaching onto another piece of paper raised up to mimic the look of pinned insects. I also use an old school newspaper letter press machine to hand set the common name and scientific name of the bugs. wanted to show it off so these are the first two I made. a deaths head hawmoth and a stag beetle. I’m working on a cicada rn. let me know if you wanna know more I love talking ab it. 🖤
