Warnings: main character death, angst, blood, "you can fix him" plot;
Summary: You're the one who stole the Dark Lord's heart, yet you're dying in his arms.
A Forbidden Promise
"Don't go. I — I cannot follow you there. You can't go. You can't go." His voice was frenetic, desperate in a way the dark lord never sounded. How could he not be? You're dying in his arms, the only sweet touch, warmth, love he's ever known. And he will never be able to follow you to Mandos. "Please, I will never be able to go with you there, please."
His plea sounds like he wants to go tho. A begging, maybe the first time in more than two ages that Mairon of the Maiar actually regrets his choices. In you he found his perfection. And now he would lose it. Was that the vengeance of the Valar?
You raise your weak hand, resting it on this face. With your thumb you wipe one of the tears from his cheek. Even now he is as beautiful as the first time you saw each other.
"I — I will come back. For you, I will come back." Your voice is not much more than an whisper. Yet, somehow you make a disbelieving smile appears on his lips.
"Who would give up paradise for me? For Sauron?" The name disgust you as much as it disgust him, and your face probably shows it because he sighs. "If you're leaving me, at least leave saying the truth. It's too... cruel to say it. For I never hoped before."
That makes you give him a pity sad smile. Ignoring the pain, you do everything you can to raise yourself. He holds you tighter, his warmth is what you need to concentrate even when your vision starts to fade.
"Mairon, endanya¹. Hear the last words of the one who stole your heart." This make you see for one last time the sweet smile that he only ever directed to you. "As I promised once, I will never lie to you."
He presses his forehead against yours. For the last time you breathe the same air. "So I dare to command you, Mairon or whatever name you desire to hear now: learn to hope." I little cry escapes your lips, and you feel his hands tremble where he holds you, for a moment you lose your mind and all you can hear is the blood dripping. It's a shame, his always beautiful tunics will forever be stained within your blood now.
Even so, he won't stop holding you. So you do everything you can to reassure him again. He needs to understand, he must believe.
"Learn to hope." You mumble. "For I shall return to you."
You no longer can see or feel, your hand falling from his face is the first sign you went to the undying lands. But you were right. And Mairon, Sauron, does not let you go. He holds you tightly, in a crying so long it's impossible to believe that that destroyed and devastated being was once Morgoth's heir.
The grief is too much and, when he finally let you, there's no one to hear but the wind while he whispers:
"I — I'm yours to command, endanya. I will hear whatever name you call me. I will do whatever you wish. I will hope — I will hope for you."
A promise and a threat. Because in his soul he knows; you were the only one that could stop what's coming for Middle Earth. You were the only one that could stop him.
So now even the wind hopes. You need to return.
••••••••••••••••
Endanya¹ = if i did the word correctly it should be quenya for "my love/my soul", but in a deeper way of calling the one you love "your everything". In my mind, when Sauron says it he is also telling that the reader is his light.
#i read a reader x sauron devasting fic and decided to devaste more ppl xD#keep going with the story: will you return to him? will you stop what he is becoming?#slightly inspired by “what if lotr was an isekai and you had to rehabilitate sauron to survive”#sauron#mairon#annatar#x reader#reader insert#self insert#sauron x reader#annatar x reader#mairon x reader#i didn't describe much so anyone can decide when and where they are in the plot#i will probably keep writing too because it's fun#write with me#continue the story#rings of power#rop#the rings of power#lotr#trop#tolkien#halbrand#writing prompt#drabble#fic prompt#free prompt

BG3 Drabble - Astarion/Tav Moonridge
Wrote this up one day because I had absolute fluff on the brain and was impatient to get to the romance part of the fanfiction I'm writing. It's just a short, cute, fluffy thing about Astarion and my Tav - post confession - where she wants help sleeping and Astarion is privately suspicious of what her "real" intent is. All my original posts about Baldur's Gate 3 are located here: [Link] If you just want the AO3 link, that's here: [Link]
Astarion was a little skeptical of Tav’s motives when she asked him to lay on her when they went to bed. The excuse she’d given him was because she’d been having troubles falling asleep and said it would help. While she had assured him, multiple times, that she really was fine not having sex until he was ready, there was still a paranoia in the far back of his mind that it wasn’t true. That she was far less okay with it than she claimed. That this was some kind of manipulation to entice him. That part of his brain had him all but convinced this was a scheme.
“I promise it’s nothing nefarious I just…sleeping with you on me is comforting.” Tav had admitted, sounding embarrassed and face flushing. “No sex, I swear.”
Hesitating only a little bit, he’d agreed – as of late he found himself incapable of telling her ‘no’, especially not to any kind of bedroom activity. Once Tav laid back on his bedroll, Astarion stretched out over her before carefully lowering down. Placing his head over her chest, he slowly put his weight on her. Waist resting between her legs, arms bracketing her torso before sliding up under her shoulders, so his hands were by the pillow. Her heart steadily thumping under his ear as he settled.
“Comfortable?” Tav asked uncertainly. Her hands lifted and moved around him. One hand found his hair and slowly, gently, she carded her fingers through it, nails gingerly scratching his scalp as she did so. The other hand gently rested on his shoulder, running her thumb idly up and down soothingly. However, he made a face when he felt her legs shift – certain they were about to wrap around him. Instead, they both simply bent at the knee, one a bit more than the other, and went still. It took him longer than he would ever admit to realize that she was just shifting to be more comfortable. Same way she did every time she’d fallen asleep under him.
“I am.” Astarion said softly. He wasn’t lying. Physically, this was comfortable for him. Emotionally though, it was far less comfortable. They had gone to bed like this before, more than once, but it had always been after a vigorous round of sex when both of them had been too lazy to move apart from each other. Any other time he rested on top of someone like this had been for the same reasons. Even his body knew this and, despite still having clothes on and not wanting to do anything, there was a twitch in his groin anticipating something more energetic to come. As he felt the twitch, Astarion was relieved that he was taller than her, from his position her pelvis was just under his stomach, no where near close enough to have felt the involuntary reaction.
“See? It’s not so bad.” She teased lightly.
He only gave a humorous chuckle in response. Part of him waited on edge though, expecting her to initiate something. Expecting any moment to feel her hips tilt or her body arch up against him. Instead, she simply laid quietly, humming softly in the dark, drawing her fingers through his hair. Absently, her tail took up it’s usual spot, draping and curling around his lower leg. Slowly, her humming faded, her fingers in his hair slowed before resting on his neck, her breathing evened out, and the hand resting on his shoulder went limp, sliding down.
Astarion blinked. ‘She’s…asleep?’ The sound of her heart slowing to it’s nightly rhythm under his ear confirmed it. Staring off to the side, head cradled on her chest, he once again felt his world crack and reorganize around him. Which it seemed to do that more often than he liked with her.
Tav had genuinely meant it. Tav wasn’t initiating sex, or coercing him into something they agreed not to. All she wanted was to feel his weight on her because she was having trouble falling asleep.
The urge to push himself up and stare at her was strong. He probably would have if the feeling of her hand resting on his neck, fingers twitching softly as she started to dream, hadn’t been so damn soothing. Instead he closed his eyes and tightened his arms around her. ‘Damn woman.’ He thought nearly laughing. ‘You have no idea what you do to me do you?’

Fun fact: In Barbatos's intimacy storyline in Nightbringer he ends up living with Solomon and MC at Cocytus Hall temporarily. Here's a highlight from his 40 intimacy call:
The way he makes Solomon sit in the corner. 😭 You cannot convince me he didn't raise this man.
#+ the tonal shift when he started talking to mc again made me laugh ngl#i'm already spoiled for these calls but there's no substitution for the voice work#but yeah uhh spoilers in all of nb's intimacy calls they basically end up in a committed relationship w mc#i gotta step it up with farming so i can be annoying about it. barbatos's phone calls are SO good tbh#though now that mc and solomon aren't living at cocytus hall i question them making it so theyre living there even up to 100 intimacy?#i know whales are probably much speedier but its still a bit weird considering the devs#still won't let mc and barbatos's relationship progress in the main story practically at all in comparison to the phone calls#obey me barbatos#obey me solomon#obey me nightbringer#obey me#obey me shall we date#barbatos obey me#barbatos#solomon#also man i wish they'd spent some of this budget on routes instead considering how long it will be for anyone to really see these calls

Every time I draw Mamagi it does AoE damage (I am also in the area of effect)
Lighthearted bonus:
#enstars#hiiro amagi#rinne amagi#i don't know if this is a bad time to be amagi-posting given that hiiro's fs2 just dropped but. oh well#also this might be the last thing i draw for a bit because i am in the final stretch of this semester#if you sent in a request. i will get to it and thank you for your patience#anyways i know i'm kinda being like 'haha rinne mama's boy' which like. yeah but also sometimes--#--sometimes you're an adult in their 20s and like. yeah sure you're technically an adult or whatever but you still feel like a kid yeah?#and sometimes you just maybe want your mom to help you when you're lost or confused or when you need someone to tell you it'll be okay#but you won't get that for whatever reason#sincerely: an adult in their 20s#....can you tell why rinne is like. a vibe to me now#anyways i'm not saying mamagi dying was a necessary evil but if hiiro and rinne had an adult who actually loved them at home they probably-#-wouldn't have left and we wouldn't have the main story#if she was alive today tho she'd be going to their lives sorry i don't make the rules (yes i do)#if she ends up being exactly like the rest of their village in some future lore i'm gonna be so sad.#she'd throw hands with niki's parents#imagine leaving your sons behind because you straight up died (couldn't really do anything about that)#meanwhile your son's boyfriend's parents just. up and left him because they could#also posts with her will be tagged mamagi#if you read all that <3#mamagi#she'd adopt all the bees and alkaloid too#imagine if they got their singing skills from her#also mamagi 1 rinniki shipper (also does not care it's not legal)#rinniki

if you have some, do you have any headcannons for barnaby?
honestly! not really! i don't have hcs for any of the neighbors!
#the way i interact w/ welcome home is uh... slightly differently than how i interact with more mainstream / company-produced media#like if you compare how i talk about the neighbors/wh to how i talk about characters on say... my dc blog#there's probably gonna be a notable Difference!#with mainstream/company stuff i go Hog Wild with hcs and aus and i form my own version of everything in my head#(while still understanding & respecting canon as the true source)#but wh is Different! i can't really do that!#it isnt some big production created by a team & mass released#where the actions of some fans just fuckin around and having fun won't directly affect anyone or even reach the ears of the creators#and where upon releasing it everyone Knows that its gonna be dissected & torn to shreds & played with like barbies#wh is more... personal? there is one main creator. these are His characters. its Their story.#i can't in good conscience make headcanons and honestly? id much rather stick to canon trivia & facts than create my own#theyre not my facts to create or believe in!!#sometimes ill make a post saying 'hey this would be cute / neat'#but as soon as i post im tossing that thought away. i dont let them stick or become hcs#(NOTE THAT I AM NOT BASHING ANYONE WHO MAKES HCS. THIS IS ALL MY PERSONAL OPINION!!! MY OWN PERSONAL INTERNAL RULES!!! FOR ME!)#rambles from the bog#like even with the lights out au im being careful with it. im trying to be faithful & respect the characters and the source#its an... exploration i think#ive never approached making an au this way bc usually im just flinging characters around and treating canon as a chew toy - scrap for parts#but i cant do that here! im Not Complaining At All im simply stating! i cant!#sorry you probs weren't expecting a lil mini rant in tags my b <3#this has just been in my head since i first discovered welcome home#i remember feeling myself start getting really attached & interested#and i recall telling myself 'ok. we cant approach this the way we would other things'#and i have done my best to Stick To That. ive relaxed a lil since then but im still standing by my one rule#Be A Little More Normal About This Than I Would If It Were Mainstream / A Company-Made Production

#i think i first listened to this song around the time Behind The Codes became an official project#My brain probably associated the feelings of excitement and fear with the song so ig that's why I love it so much#On one side. I love working on the Behind The Codes#there's an overwhelming amount of ways to tell this story: brainstorming. designing. animating. writing and rewriting until your brain-#starts to fry and get foggy with so many ideas. its both good and stressful to push your limits like this#On another side. I'm constantly anxious about it#I've always been afraid to admit the things I enjoy as well as the things that i create#You don't allow yourself to create and embrace new things even when you're essentially alone#and yes I'm aware of the fact that there will be people who won't enjoy the series- which isn't what bothers me#What bothers me is that I might regret certain decisions#'This is not the message I wanted to convey'#'This is not the story I wanted to tell'#The decision to share this song here is the clearest example of what I mean:#Part of me says: this song is so btc oh my god please put it at the end credits wait THERE IS A 2ND PART OF IT AND IT'S EVEN COOLER OOOAAAA#then there's the main thought: this song is so stupid. it's so corny in a way it makes me uhghu7ujhkjg..#i won against my negative thoughts today. yay#this whole post is just me rambling and being anxious. i dont even know what to say hjdsfbwjkefkdsf#bye :waves:#starbstalks

ik we talk abt dazai with a cane and that's so good and i need it to happen. but in addition to that. i want it to at any point be acknowledged that he has some chronic pain or long lasting issues from his suicide attempts. please
#ik his attempts are often passed as jokes esp in the main story#and i think this could add a layer to them. and realism#maybe he can only eat and drink certain things bc drinking so many poisons and chemicals fucked his stomach up#maybe he has to constantly stretch bc his hanging attempts messed up stuff in his joints#maybe all his drowning attempts fucked up his lungs#stuff like that yknow?? nothing too big but enough to make it clear#we probably won't. bc we rarely get to see his true self. and this is def smth he'd hide. like he does with the bandages#(honestly even at any point showing him without those and seeing scars would be amazing 🥺)#but i like to hope that it'll happen. i think it'll be beautiful. and i think it fits the themes and messages in bsd#suicide //#ask to tag

( !! THIS IS NOT A CALLOUT. !!)
(you don't have to heed our advice. we simply wish for you to listen.)
(probably the last post from this blog.) (hi! i'm blog mod @thegardengrows-infrozenrain - this was a joint project alongside @living-dead-rockstar's mod, Shell, who otherwise went by @shelldoodlesstuff or @shrimps-fried-rice - formerly @ask-causes-and-curses. i suppose they don't want me to do that animatic anymore, since they've rethemed what was once the main AU blog.) (we'd made these blogs on a whim, they were to run the lilac blog and i was to run the tab blog.) (unfortunately, immediately after some drama where they'd decided they no longer wished to be my friend, they've stolen tab as a kin thing. which sucks, as i, the humblr blog mod, actually have a tab fictive, which we developed shortly after starting this project.) (so if you see any other tab blogs around, specifically blogs run by them, please block them.) (do not give them any interaction on any of their blogs, incredibox related or otherwise - they're doing this to spite a system who's currently in crisis.)
#OOC#the crisis is a long story. ask if you want - we won't elaborate here#just know the first time they'd blocked us we were in active physical danger and begging them to help us out.#tw vent#tw drama#tw drama mention#tw venting#vent post#honestly we're probably putting ourselves in harm's way even making this post#as we KNOW all of their friends were following this blog#they're going to see it and see our main tagged and all this shit#but honestly? we couldn't give a quarter of a fuck anymore. harass us. don't harass us. doesn't matter to us.

Begging for ppl to understand sonamy isn't canon
#ramblings#it's one sided!! it's always been one sided!!#the only place you could say it's canon is in boom but that's not the main continuity#i honestly don't care if you ship it but don't unironically say it's canon when it isn't#but it's never been anything but a one sided crush amy has on sonic in the main canon#like seriously she was never meant to be his love interest she was meant to be an admirer#sonic has never been interested in her romantic advances (or like. romance in general)#and that's ok! it honestly makes their dynamic more interesting imo#sonic who just wants to be friends and amy who now fully respects that but still has her unrequited crush and loves him more than anything#it's interesting! cool hero types usually get the girl by the end of their stories but sonic isn't about that#he's completely uninterested in that and it's actually kinda refreshing when media is still so heteronormative#once again we're talking abt game canon here not any other canon#but anyways sonic and amy aren't and probably won't ever be a thing. in fact sonic probably wouldn't get with anyone actually#there's no canon romance which is a good thing please keep it that way

yakuza 3 (sort of) done! thoughts under the cut cos they got quite long. they're a lot more coherent than my kiwami 2 ones cos i made them along the way rather than in a feverish mess at the end, though ofc they contain spoilers for 3 and ig gaiden??
overall thoughts, it's messy and weird and makes some Choices, but it's not a bad game, and the people who write it off as being shit are, imho, wrong. once i got into it i liked it, it introduced some great characters, had some really fun moments, and i'm gonna miss the morning glory kids (yes even riona).
if you're looking at this like when did you change the difficulty??? the bit where you have to run away from the police at millenium tower, fuck that bit so hard, none of the other chases gave me trouble but that one ughhhhh
also i neglected haruka i'm sorry
the combat is harder and more tedious, and i can see why it puts people off, but i find pulling off the combos and counters way more satisfying as a result. like, i tiger dropped lau ka long to finish that fight and it felt *so* good, way more than ending fights with heat actions or whatever has done in previous games. having said that the blocking oh jesus christ the BLOCKING
it’s the place we get the most on kashiwagi pre-y0 especially kiryu’s opinion of him (including the iconic lines about reimen) so you can’t knock it for that.
rikiya buddy i love you but wtf was that substory with natsumi. actually why is he suddenly a dick in all of his side content???? (i know he’s confrontational and that’s just how he is but idk, smth about how he is in the side content feels different). he’s rude to utabori to his face (despite kiryu repeatedly telling him not to), when he meets natsumi again he’s like yo i kept this necklace why are you in tokyo you don’t fit in here come back to okinawa with me, like ????? she clearly has a life she’s built up there (not a good one, i don’t think, but still) and they might have known each other when they were kids but we never get her side of the story on that, only rikiya’s. idk. it’s one of the first things he says to her, that’s a neon red flag if ever i’ve seen one.
also also during that entire scene in asia, kiryu watches rikiya’s reaction to the dancing the *entire* time. is that a bug of how conversations work or was that a deliberate choice or what
MACK buddy why aren't you in this game more
we had a second majima-no-nii-san! from hamazaki of all people! tho having said that i think he was being sardonic. like, he never says it again, and is generally kind of like that. he’ll use polite forms but he’s never being *polite*. lowkey obsessed with his hand on majima’s shoulder in that scene and what it says about his character and their relationship up to that point and how majima has ended up in this kind of position *again*. kiryu leaving - as it always does - fucked so many people over it’s not even funny.
some of the translations bother me. as an english script it’s for the most part pretty coherent and works well enough on its own, but in combination with the japanese it sometimes deviates in ways that change character moments or even just feel weird. like the addition of the puns in the seven mysteries substories is fun, very ace attorney, but sometimes it feels like they step too far (‘getting tight in your britches!’ for ビビった like ???? even ignoring the japanese what is that supposed to meannnnn)
specific moments i was thinking of were the really early line where taichi is like 晩ごはんまだぁ? and they add in an unnecessary ‘i thought curry was supposed to be easy!’ in the english which then undermines later when they all sit down to eat and are like カレーだ! like they didn’t actually know what was for dinner. another one is when kiryu leaves rikiya behind in okinawa and tells haruka that he can’t let him come (in various ways, three times). in the english they shake it up a bit by adding ‘it’s my burden to bear’ WHICH i’ll fully admit flows better and is a very kiryu thing to say but i think it shifts the tone of that scene from worry to responsibility? in a way that doesn’t feel quite right in context of the story as a whole. last one where mine calls kiryu a coward when he’s leaving after showing whatever was left of kanda in that box. again, it flows better and lines up with kiryu’s behaviour in later games but doesn’t feel quite right and i think it changes the point mine was trying to make there. there's also the minefield about how mine expresses his feelings about daigo right at the end. BUT i’m a learner this isn’t my job what do i know. they worked hard and faults aside it’s a fun read and they also had to deal with that fuck-awful section of exposition from the politician so no blame here. it’s not like the other games don’t have this, it just feels especially weird in this one to me.
i loved the little wrestling bit. it’s not perfect but it has the kind of heart and good intentions that makes those sections (and yakuza 3 as a whole) really enjoyable for me.
objectively very funny that the text you get congratulating you on all the revelations is from kaoru, and that she’s like hey your blog was very funny, go see my friend bob utsunomiya for your reward. i know it’s mostly game mechanics to make it make sense but is it not the funniest thing to imagine a. that kaoru knows a bob utsunomiya (how did they meet??? why???) and b. that on her breaks between Mystery Police Stuff she’s refreshing kiryu’s blog like what dumb shit is this idiot up to now asdfghjkl tbf his blog can’t be hard to find, it’s literally ‘day in the life of the dragon of dojima’ it’s a miracle he gets anything done ever with how bad he is at being on the downlow
standing on the morning glory beach, especially in the evening/at night and looking up at the sky while listening to the waves roll in is so calming, the first time i got to do it i stayed there for like ten minutes just chilling
some of the animation is genuinely really really good, like saki’s eyes shaking in fear or kiryu’s cheek twitch when he finds out about morning glory, or mine on finding out daigo's alive. idk how much is the work of the remaster and how much was originally there but i really like it
the last three chapters are such whiplash cos it’s like sad, sad, very sad, bulls! sad, very very sad, sad, jet! thumbs up! sad, sad, ANGRY, there is no change in the plan, sad, sad, on the roof, sad, sad, MACHO, things are gonna be fine! oh wait sad sa- please mr richardson they’re trying to have a moment -d sad sad surprise! murder! surprise! alive! done. you know?
idk if i was just hormonal or emotional but saki calling out to nakahara really got to me for some reason. her first word after years of silence was ‘dad’, and that hit me in a way i wasn’t expecting even tho i knew it was coming.
show us the akimoto/mizuki kiss, cowards
that last section was really fun to play for me (aside from that first little bit going up the first couple of floors of the hospital), the music’s great, the combat had (mostly) good pacing, the fights felt challenging in a good way, yeah i was all for it! reinforced for me how much i like mine as a character and wish we’d got to see more of him (but hey, look, if andre richardson survived the fall...?). like, the moment he realises daigo is still alive - and that he was about to kill the man he love- ahem sorry admired, so much - is seared into my brain.
#text#me#ryu ga gotoku#yakuza 3#probably my lowest completion percentage on finishing the main story in an rgg game#but i've honestly not done a whole lot of the side content so that makes sense#i've not done any coliseum matches at all#plus there's the hostesses and the reapers (i've done most of those tho) and some substories i missed#am i doing all of that no absolutely not#but i won't be moving onto 4 for a bit yet#also sorry the picture isn't straight that's just how it is#not queued

I know the idea of the game is to our main characters become an old master one day in a certain moment of their life, but one part of me kinda don't like that?, i like more the idea of after they kill the villans, they become some kinda of badass vigilants/justice gangsters, and continue be like this since they become old(no idea how they pay the bills living in that way?, but it doesn't matter is just a game), idk i just like our main characters more being some kinda of "lone wolf", i think it fits more their style
#about s1fu#sifu game#Nowadays i prefer more this lore#they must be so tired of all this so why continue? Let it die together with all this mess#It may sound like they being disrespectful to the father(maybe but i don't think its like that for me is vice-versa they let the things tha#Their father accomplished which is the school remain/die with him it was his legacy besides THE KNOW THE DRAMA..#This School/talisman thing caused altho i think even if the main characters were a master/teacher i don't think they would talk/show the...#talisman to the students but still they would teach the pak mei and this yang manage to kill the old man How? because he knew the pak mei..#The old man showed too much to him and he used that knowledge against him i just love to imagine our main characters thinking about that..#and be like nope!😤I won't do this it won't repeat it again! to me is actually very cool and mature of their part)#;probably still training but on his own and for his own reasons; i'll totally embrace/adopt that✨so badass#So cool to imagine my w0man❤️being a badass still being a fighter but on her own#I like it cuz it make the family dynamic very funny😂the father was ancient so hes a master the older son becomed doctor/hippie of some sort#our main characters(the baby bro🥺) become some kinda of gangster😂no no i would call mystery hero/vigilant(they just do their own thing)#I would say what they do is the arenas(I don't care if the games says the arenas are separated from the game story for me is together😤)#They are not part of this drama they are just the consequence🔥❤️#Well but that's it i like our main characters more not being a s1fu i don't think combines with them after everything they go thru#They're too cool for School✨👌#Idk i just wake up like ;i kinda don't like the idea of them becoming a s1fu now🤔;

Okay, so my Call of Cthulhu group (originally my CoS group) have shifted from our CoC game to a Ravenloft campaign, with much more episodic sessions that will be easier for me to prep and run weekly. We're setting it after the events of the CoS campaign, with Ezmerelda returning to van Richten's home in Mordent, using it as a base of operations as she recruits individuals from across the Domains of Dread for adventuring work.
Thanks to it being set within the same universe, NPCs from the pervious game will likely make an appearance, and I get to make some updated designs for them (:
The current list of NPCs carrying over includes:
Ezmerelda, gaunt and tired from a lack of human blood, with some new scars obtained during the CoS campaign but never included in the art I made. She technically made it to the end of the CoS campaign, but not without becoming a vampire and having her skull crushed in. She got better, sort of. Now, her and Erasmus get to hang out in Mordent while she stuggles to find ethically sourced blood.
Escher, who's living his best unlife after leaving Barovia and returning to adventuring, now with Gertruda at his side. I'm going to have to fight like hell to make sure I don't make him look like Astarion, because from what I know of BG3 so far, the two have similar character concepts now, and each look good in purple. Unlike Ez, he's going to be quite well fed, no longer limited to only Strahd for blood.
Gertruda, originally 30 in CoS, now in her 40s, with more life experience having traveled with Escher for a decade. The two get along like a house on fire, and make a (un)living thieving their way across the domains. Escher typically serves as the distraction and Gertruda does the actual pickpocketing or breaking and entering.
#dnd rambling#ravenloft#dnd#at the players' request i'm going to be including some dracula characters#and Dorian and Basil from the Picture of Dorian Gray are going to be part of a murder mystery together#everyone is going to have slightly different names#to keep the references subtle and to not take away from the main elements of the story#but it will hopefully be obvious if the players are looking for them#im mildly annoyed because I had started compiling reference images for Escher's design when he was essentially just Strahd's trophy husband#but now his outfit needs to actually be practical ):#half of what I've pulled together won't work anymore bc high heals fine gold chains and porcelain corsets#don't exactly make a great adventuring/thieving outfit#spider chatter#ehh so it goes#i'll probably have to draw him again anyway once I start my second CoS campaign

I hope we go back to lorule one day. Ik I never talk about them but I miss yuga hilda and ravio so much. We need a lorule spinoff series, the tale of hilda or something like that. I think about this concept more than I'd like to admit,, 😔
#it'd be so cool to see all of the thematic parallels to hyrule#plus lorule stories would probably be grittier but still silly because of the cast and i think that'd be an interesting change of pace#and i love the dynamic between the main three like i need them to make a comeback#in regards to their triforce i hope yuga has courage hilda has power and ravio has wisdom#i have so many ideas but nintendo won't hear me out 💔#🧿#🛡️

To be honest my main problem with the Renfield movie is the fact that it's a comedy, because Ren as a character is so rarely taken seriously (which we learned from DD, thanks guys) despite his entire arc being extremely tragic and cruel. He is a character that deserved to be taken seriously and treated with respect, but the fact that the movie is written to be a comedy has me worried that they'll try to make jokes out of things they really shouldn't and end up downplaying or mocking his suffering even if it's unintentional. It just seems like this movie could go south real fast, which I hope it doesn't, because a lot of it does seem promising. I hope the writers can tell when to reel the comedy in, and there weren't too many tasteless jokes in the trailer that I saw, but man I dunno, I'm not really sure why they chose Renfield of all characters to make a comedy movie about.
#not to say that it can't work I'm just not optimistic about it#and also not to say that a movie about Ren needs to be Dark And Depressing#i just hope they treat him with some respect is all#tired of the 'crazy' character in any given media being mocked by the story and the audience alike#scribble scribbles#scribe watch#also i don't want to hate on this movie cuz I do think it looks ok#but im not overly excited for it#just trying to articulate my thoughts#i do also have problems with the romance plot#it def has 'queer man is saved from his Evil Demonic Gay partner by a nice Girl vibes'#but from what i gathered from the trailer they're having ren be bi/pan rather than just making him straight#which is a little less bad i suppose#hopefully that's done in a respectful way too#that's really my main point i just want my boy to get some respect#also please have him not just be and Anxious Sad Boi#like if they could focus on his psychosis/delusions too that would slay but they probably won't

[id: a screenshot of text in a word document. The text says: "What time is it?" enquired Enjolras. Finding himself ignorant of the answer, Grantaire reached into a pocket of his jeans and withdrew his phone- an apple iphone, so called in the manner of the bulky computers which were its predecessors, and which were forced over time to become ever smaller and more compact, driven by human ingenuity according to some parties and capitalist greed according to others. Some, typically those with more wealth in their pockets than their minds, would cry hypocrisy at a revolutionary carrying that symbol of the very structure he claims to oppose, that tainted apple, that original sin. Certainly it seemed as such; but even when one is wholly morally opposed to the society in which he lives, it is an unfortunate truth that he still must live in it. "Half past two," he replied. End id]
Just rediscovered potentially the funniest thing I’ve written in recent memory
#OCR failed on this one for some reason#probably low resolution#so I typed it all out manually#hopefully I didn't make any mistakes#please kindly stop screenshotting plaintxt#described#People only familiar with the play or movies won't necessarily get just how meandering Victor Hugo is.#He spends several chapters on a priest's whole life story only for him to have a couple brief scenes with the main character#he has a whole chapter on the history of the Parisian sewer system#there's a chapter that is just a list of newspaper headlines of a certain year#he was paid by the word and you can 100% tell
