I still can't get over lucanis at the end of the wigmaker job -- having limped his way down the docks, nursing several broken ribs, dripping rivers of blood (some of it his own. most of it not) onto the floorboards before the innkeeper's horrified and irate eyes, having just Faced the Horrors frfr and cut a bloody swath through a party of tevinter high society as if setting out to contemptuously prove poe's red death a mere piddling amateur, in his fucking batman-ass black leather overcoat getup, presumably woozy with blood loss and fading adrenaline -- just standing there sadly like '🥺is my cousin here'

Ahhhh, there it is. Well, there was a brief moment where Claude thought the guy was ready to jump at him and start throwing hands, so he'll at least count his blessing that that isn't happening.

"Well, I can think of a few reasons," he says with a light shrug as he hangs the bow on his back. "For starters, where I'm from, we have strong traditions of archers fighting from atop wyverns. With the kinda eye and arm that requires? Firing from the ground at a wall does indeed become kind of a joke. And if I made it look easy, well," he shakes his head with a quiet huff and a smile. "I doubt I started training much later than you did. I've got a whole lot of hopes and expectations sitting on my back, too."

The too is added as a subconscious afterthought. Innes may not have gone into details about himself, but his introduction alone, what he has said about his upbringing and achievement, combined with the way he has behaved, is enough for someone as well-versed in reading people as Claude to pick up the pieces, even ones that he originally didn't know were there.

"But also," he has a distinct feeling Innes is not gonna like this, but he asked, so what's a guy to do but to answer? "I just... wasn't sweating it, I guess? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I felt like you took this full on seriously, like your honor was at stake or something. I mean, sorry about the paint on your jacket, but other than that... we were shooting paint at a wall. I just approached it as a bit of a warm-up. A few arrows to lose and nothing to gain, you know?"

He isn't going to say that out loud, but he does secretly wonder just how much Innes knows about the concept of just having fun.

Do you know any podcasts with transfeminine main characters?

Apologies for the delay. I have a few:

Between Heartbeats: (Urban Fantasy) In a city of incredible abilities and mundane struggle, we follow Sundiata, a time-manipulator struggling to stay employed. During a a quick break from waiting tables to go help in an emergency, she instead finds herself caught in a bizzare mystery. Unfortunately release seems to have stalled following the first episode, but I'm eagerly awaiting its return.

Inn Between: (Fantasy, Adventure) What the adventuring heroes get up to at the tavern, between the grand adventures. Cleverly fills the listener in on the adventures using "previously on" and "next time on" segments. You'll need to wait (or jump) to Season 3 to meet our transfem lead, but she is an absolute delight.

Interference: (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance) A human tabletop podcaster and an orc researcher get their broadcast signals crossed between worlds, and start a dialogue. Cross-reality research, and a budding romance, ensue.

The Magnus Protocol: (Horror) Seeking employment, Sam gets a job working with his friend Alice for a bizzare little government office. The work? Night shifts listening to, and then cataloguing, bizzare and unsettling material trawled from the internet. Despite Alice's warnings, Sam may be getting a little too invested.

The Night Post: (Supernatural) Concerning the conscripted nighttime couriers/postal workers of Gilt City, and the otherworldy encounters they have on the job.

PSST: Paranatural Support Services Team: (Supernatural) Struggling with a supernatural entity or haunting encounter? The PSST's got you covered. Meet The Agent at the other end of the phone as she gives advice, unravels mysteries, and tries to work out just how long it's been since she went home.

The Silt Verses: (Horror) In a modern world where gods are abundant, frequently both commercialised and restricted, two devotees of an outlawed river god go on a pilgrimage. You'll meet the character in question a few episodes in.

Breathing Space: (Sci-fi, Space Western, Anthology) Included more as a special mention (as this is an anthology and the leads change every episode), Breathing Space is an array of stories set in the early age of space exploration that leans hard into the "Western" part of "Space Western". A not-insignificant number of the stories feature trans characters. If you don't vibe with the first story, do me a favour and listen to the second before you bail.

Additions are, of course, always welcome.

Toshiro is kind of an asshole, but it's hard to call him that because what makes him an asshole is being so painfully conflict averse that it causes problems. We ALL know someone like that! The person who simmers on something that made them upset 4 months ago because they don't know how to air grievances. The person who makes up ultimatums in their head without telling anyone. Shuro would think it's too aggressive to block someone on Facebook. He'd get bullied out of line at the grocery store. He'd double book himself on his birthday because he doesn't know how to tell people no. Shuro is so averse to initiating any form of conflict at all that he'd inadvertently cause a fight on a road trip by being too nervous to just pick a fast food joint to piss in

[hibischush]

could you write valen and juniper drinking together like they allude to in their conversations? im so gay for valen and juniper but they are gayer for each other

YESSS god they're so cute and hot. I feel like I can't intrude otherwise I break up the strongest power couple in the world.

The summer air was still thick with warmth. The sun lazily fell past the horizon at a snails pace, draping Mistria in a honey glaze that only increased the sticky feeling of humidity. Valen sat in her office, (which really was just her front desk), reading a new medical journal that came from the capital.

Her eyes seem to skip over a few sentences, and she sighs and takes her reading glasses off, rubbing her eyes.

A few months back, her and Juniper's wine sessions seemed to have turned into a different direction. Instead of the hangouts being cordial and filled with laughter, there was an air of...tension to them. Valen has caught Juniper on multiple occasions staring at her wine-stained lips, and at first she blamed it on the alcohol circulating in the sorceress's body. However, the doctor started to notice the way that Juniper's eyes would bore into hers; how Juniper would often offer to pour another glass for her, gently grasping the bottle out of her hands and sneakily brush her fingers against Valen's.

Valen was honest to herself. Juniper's subtle flirting drove her wild.

It was odd for her. Valen hasn't engaged with a romantic relationship for ages now, so at first she wasn't sure if she was picking up her friend's signals correctly.

It wasn't until Juniper gifted her an 800-year-old bottle of Witchvine Merlot that she realized that Juniper was interested.

So, after the poor witch knocked over that priceless bottle of wine, Valen decided to invite her over to break open a red, and that it would "tastes better with company" anyways.

Valen jumped as a loud knocking sounded at the door.

"Come in, Juniper."

The door creaked open to reveal the sorceress, cloaked in the golden light of sunset. Her exposed skin practically glowed like a precious gemstone. She looked ethereal.

"Getting impatient, were you, Doctor?" She teases, tossing her mauve hair over one shoulder.

Valen stood up to approach her, "Not at all. Just happy to have you here,"

If Valen knew any better, she saw a twinge of pink dusting her cheeks. She grabbed her delicately manicured hand.

"Follow me. Let's drink wine in my private study."

The farmer sighs as they sit down by the fountain. The moonlight shone brightly, casting a blue glimmer on everything below it. They could hear cicadas...and high heels loudly tapping on stone?

They looked up to see Juniper stumbling out of the clinic. Her normally perfectly done hair is wild, and her makeup (particularly her lipstick) was smeared to the left of her mouth. The sorceress cleared her throat and attempted to brush back her hair and pull herself together, before turning and looking directly at the farmer, shocked.

Are...are those hickeys?

Juniper glared with a furious blush on her cheeks. "You saw nothing, farmer. You wouldn't want to see your skin turn mysteriously blue the next time you visit the bathhouse, now would you?"

The gays won with this couple guys. I wish they were my aunts.

I fully second what that earlier anon said about tsp!Ominis! It would have been so easy to make him a willing participant in Sebastian's quest to cure Anne, but I really love that he's against it. It creates conflict that we never got to see in depth in the actual game and it makes me insanely curious to see how Anne is going to handle everything since I take it she's about to be introduced into the fic as well. You have wonderful takes on the characters so far and I'm excited to see more! ❣

THANK YOU 💕 THANK YOU 💕 THANK YOU 💕

Obviously you can't please everyone when it comes to fanfiction and trying to would be exhausting and impossible, but I'm so happy you like Ominis' characterization :'))

His personality in this story is definitely something refreshing to explore since everyone else (minus Henri) is pro-Sebastian. Keeping his thoughts on dark magic the same as they are in-game was super important to me when crafting up this version of him, so even if he wants Anne to live a long, healthy life, he wouldn't turn his back on his morals in my opinion.

One million hugs and kisses to you, thank you so much for the kind words and for your interest in the fic ! 💕

Innes needed something to focus on. He couldn't focus on the people around him, broken and beaten. He couldn't focus on those who were not there. No, he decided to focus on something more tangible.

His bow was worse for wear. It needed oil. It needed to be tended to. He may have only shot once, but he needed his bow to be at its best. What if those creatures came back?

He found a man with a bow, and assumed this man was an archer. "Do you happen to have any oil?" he asked, forgetting all manners and propriety. "My bow needs some."

Oil? Yeah. He’s got that. He’s always got that.

Here, now, it is one of the only things he knows.

He drags his tattered fingers up, fumbles them at the small secret pocket where he stashes the vial.

When Shinon draws the thrice-damned bottle out, it’s cracked. Leaking slowly, droplets cutting through the soot on his fingers.

He spares a glance for the jetsam of his own bow, unstrung and defeated. This, too, needs work, and with the leak there will not be enough oil for both his bow and this stranger’s.

Through the smoke in his mind, Shinon registers this. He understands, but hasn’t got the strength to care.

This man looks strong. Let him rise again and fight. Let him carry the certainty of a well-kept weapon.

Shinon isn’t certain of anything, now.

He offers up the vial, smoke-stained, still dripping. His voice is broken and bitter when he mutters “just take it.”

click-clacks and clapbacks

in which clair and @freliasarrow return to their bullshit

[party-pri3st]

🎄 look their vibes are total opposites. i think it would be funny. smiles really big

It seems that Pandreo is fated to strike up conversations with only the grumpiest people in the room. It's alright, though. Pandreo's had his share of commiserating with people who were dragged to his services, clearly wanting to be anywhere else, and after some easy conversation they left seeming like they had a good time. This is exactly his wheelhouse. Pandreo's also had his share of mingling with heirs-to-be, but they have all been more gracious than this would-be-king who seems to have unwittingly found himself under a mistletoe. (Who's footing the bill for all this mistletoe, anyway? What a nightmare to clean up.) Pandreo can't remember the name of the guy's homeland - sue him for being bad at names, even in his profession - but in his short stint he's seen Innes shoot apples from a tree upside-down. Stiff upper lip the whole time, too. Someone has to bring the energy up, and it might as well be Pandreo. Even if it's one grumpy face at a time. "Heya." Pandreo slots himself in next to Innes, unbothered by his lack of reaction, but leaving plenty of room in case Innes decides to flee. "Might I kiss the ring, Your Highness?"

♡ continues to blink cutely at you

(We should be allies. We should be doing everything we can to mend the scars wrought across our lands. Yet every conversation with you feels like death by a thousand cuts. You must think me a coward. Keep your eyes on me; I just need some extra time to bloom.)

my boyfriend has such a good relationship with her sister it makes me jealous. he teases her, she buys all the clothes he wears, he borrows money from her, they play fight all the time. he says that his sister saved him he almost worships her. i guess thats what i wanted to be for my younger brother; a god, someone he could look up to but i call my mother and playfully tell him he never never talks to me and he says why should he i never listened to him. i didn't know i was so cruel. i was so busy being a teenager i forgot i was an elder sister too. and im not sure we're siblings according to however they define. if i didn't know him, id never have known him. there's nothing we share in common. he tells me he hates almost everything about me but says i guess youre a better sister in comparison to all the sisters of my friends. he's just a stranger in my house living together because we were birthed by the same woman. and i could rip out my heart for him and hed still say i didn't ask you to. i used to hug him all the time forcefully, squeezing him near me but he'd struggle and shout at me to get away but this time when i left home after diwali, he didn't push me away and for the first time ever he hugged me back. and today i hurt someone, so i remembered him because a part of me knows i used to hurt him all the time.

Hey! Did you know! My favorite audio drama is currently crowdfunding!

If you like found family and the general vibes of ttrpgs, and love to look at the moments between the big adventures during which the characters grow and change, you should check it out! It's a beautiful story and a wonderful spot of warmth, with true love and care put into the telling of it.

Basically:

[ID: The inn between season 5 logo with two layers of text on it. The top layer says "Come closer I am a soft found family podcast". Behind it, a second layer of text says "I will irrevocably change your life <3"]
