I've really had a bee in my bonnet about this today, so... Here's a short fic with ler!Avery. /////
I might develop this into a longer story at some point, and I am definitely going to draw something for it, because I'm already almost done with the sketch.
Fair warning: I normally write a lot of lead-up and take time to set a scene. I didn't do that, here... This is very indulgent, hah. There's a little bit of ice play, restraints, and subtle medical theming. No other warnings apply. Enjoy!
“Avery, put me-
DAAAAHAHAOWN!” I squealed as his gentle fingers pressed into my sides again, issuing another brief flurry of tweaks along my flanks. Held aloft by ghostly fingers clamped around my wrists and ankles, I could do nothing but glower into his smirking face.
“That big grin is taking all the venom out of your glare, you know,” he teased, sweeping a few strands of hair behind my hot ear. I twitched with sensitivity, shaking my head as I choked back a giggle. A glint in his eye told me that he caught it, too.
“When you asked me to help in your lab, I didn't think using me as a test subject was what you had in mi-EEEEEE!” My screech echoed off the walls of his basement laboratory as he pulled my shirt forward, unceremoniously rubbing a smooth piece of ice across my bare tummy. “That's cold! What was that for?!”
“I'm curious… Does cold make humans more ticklish?”
I flushed. Oh, god…
“N-no, it doesn't, I assure you it doesn't, Avery- waitwaitWAHAHAAHAHAIT!” All ten of his soft, chilly fingertips scribbled into my belly, forcing an embarrassingly gleeful laugh from me. With his hands still under my shirt, it tickled with an intensity that caught me off guard. I squirmed, but the cloud-hands securing my limbs held fast as they suspended me in midair.
“I hate to break this to you, but… that did not sound as distressed as I bet you were hoping it would,” he noted, picking up his clipboard and pen.
“Oh, don't pretend like you're taking notes! Come on, you know the ice had nothing to do with it. You already know I'm… um…”
He scrawled something, then paused, pen still touching paper as he turned his attention back to me. He raised an eyebrow, tilting his head forward to leer over the rim of his glasses.
“Already know what…?”
I pressed my lips together; I'd already said too much. I turned my head away as I felt my flush creep down my neck, but as he set the clipboard down again, I knew he wasn't going to let that go. It was all I could do to suppress a whimper.
“Is there something you'd like to admit… test subject~?” His grin was downright evil, now.
I tried to steel myself, but I couldn't even meet his eyes as he lifted his hand, slipping a couple silky fingertips under my chin. Tucking my head forward only resulted in him scampering his digits along my jawline instead, giggling at my attempt to impede him. I laughed in ticklish futility, my shoulders trembling.
“N-Nohoho!”
“Are you sure…?”
He scribbled from my jawline, down my neck… and then both sets of digits nestled into my armpits, gently scritching over the soft fabric of my t-shirt.
“GEEEEE-! YEHEHEHES I'M S-SUHURE! HAHAHA!” My giggly laughter quickly escalated into hearty cackling – Avery's low, playful chuckle barely a whisper beneath. His fingers continued to whirl softly, drawing more uncontrollable hysterics out of me, until I was certain my blush had spread all over my body; the idea of that ice cube grew more and more friendly by the moment…
Then, I felt the cloud doctor’s hands flatten against my body, stroking soothingly down my sides. I let out a tittering exhale, a dopey smile on my lips as I looked up at him… his eyes ever-loving, ever-kind. As the ghostly fingers restraining me finally released, I fell into his plush, tender embrace.
“Well, now… how'd you like being captured by a mad scientist?” He asked, snickering as he nuzzled into my neck. A kiss like rose petals brushed my skin, causing me to murmur as I yawned, already feeling the effects of the physical exertion. My heart rate relaxed, slowing to beat in time with his.
“Well, I’d volunteer again, so… maybe I'm the mad one, after all.”

idk man I just think of all the franchises you could try to make the Next Big Thing by creating a bunch of new shows and movies, maybe don't pick the one with the notoriously nitpicky obsessed with canon fandom ?? if you don't plan on applying any sort of consistency to the world, characters, alien cultures, entire ethical and moral framework of the universe, etc etc ????
#I'm reluctant to tag this as star trek and get a bunch of angry folks coming at me#though also lbr SW isn't looking too crash hot these days either for the same reasons#but yes this is about that snw trailer#and the section 31 trailer#and all of the new Kurtzman Trek era lbr#like if you like the new stuff then you do you bestie#I've been enjoying Prodigy myself!!!#but I've bounced off every other show pretty hard after each first season#because the simultaneous disregard of FUNDAMENTAL aspects of the universe / established characters and lore#while also religiously adhering to SOME of the established canon (mostly the newly established stuff)#has been driving me up the wall#hell even Prodigy has been hard now they've set it up to lead into Picard#like no thanks I don't accept any version of events where Bev never tells Jean Luc about their son and goes to raise him alone#like they make all the stupidest shit canon and adhere to it#while also making say being a Vulcan a matter of DNA rather than cultural upbringing#nevermind literally half a dozen other shows which show that's NOT how that works#I am genuinely curious how many folks like me have bounced off the new stuff never to return lol#(though okay I do keep up with trailers and sometimes reviews to see if it sounds worth coming back for which it never does)#or only watched bits and pieces#and are meanwhile enjoying their eighth or ninth or twenty second rewatch of TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT#like do they really have the numbers showing up to even watch this new stuff???#lower decks was the most popular it seemed and that's ending#but I can't help but think that if they'd stuck to the quality storytelling and a more or less coherent established universe#that were ... you know ... the defining aspects of the franchise ....#that they might have actually succeeded at finding a new audience looking for prestige science fiction television

Kresh time.
#belatedly realized if he and Skaro are twins then I need to up his maturity slider a bit I think#they don't share the same exact face because I couldn't bring myself to do that so they just have very similar ones#I often confuse these two faces myself (only difference is in the brows really)#githzerai#bg3 tav#my tavs#tav: kresh#he's so pretty I'm kind of in love with this hair#couldn't bring myself to give him the exact same color eyes either and their hair are slighty different shades of pink#so maybe they're fraternal twins instead of identical#need to figure out his lore and personality still but kresh sure has a chip on his shoulder#it's actually kind of funny if his parents had Plans for him and then Skaro up and joins the sha'sal khou and hooks up with a gith/llithid#now he's got all this weight of expectation not to be an additional family failure - and eventually he fails too#he's probably only going to figure that out after making a lot of mistakes though or else it isn't any fun

HELP maybe this is influenced by how I'm writing this, or maybe it was supposed to be gleaned from canon and I just. Haven't fully thought about it til now. Haven't Deeply analyzed it beyond the blaring alarm bells that go off when reading this. But. Alfonse's,
Straight into.
This isn't him doubling down. This is him BACKTRACKING. This is him going, "oh fuck I think maybe I came on a little too strong maybe I was a bit too vulnerable and that's really scary. How do I fix this" and he's running through all the dialogue options in his head like Okay. Play it Cool. Keep it Casual. Proclaim your undying loyalty and devotion to your Trusted Partner (person he just told in the beginning of this conversation that he didn't intend to become friends with) by making yourself a blade and shield for them. NAILED IT 👍
#fire emblem#feh#ALFONSE. PLEASE. COME ON MAN#HUUUUUGE FUCKING EPIPHANY FOR ME THOUGH as i'm writing/drawing bc that last line i've been struggling w the most#but this. add some moe lore. I HAVE HUGE IDEAS ABOUT THE MOE LORE IN TANDEM W THE CANON IMPLICATIONS.#in short/minimal spoilers if i forget to expand on it later BUT IT'S SO HUGE TO ME. SO HUGE#but i think alfonse has Noticed. things about moe. similarities to himself. but it either#doesn't know it or refuses to acknowledge it. he isn't sure which yet. so when he says 'i hope you feel the same'#he's reaching out ala pre-skip dimitri fbs. asking moe to Consider This. AND. AND. IN TANDEM.#w the canon implications. that he doesn't think highly of himself and doesn't dare wait for an answer#AND. AND. HELP THERE'S A MOMENT THAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY. he just commits a Blunder#that even moe's autistic ass catches him on. it all happens So quickly. in a fucking instant.#WHICH. WHICH. LED TO ME REALIZING THIS. he is trying TO CATCH HIMSELF HERE.#AND THE. ADDITION. of moe lore/the blunder why he tries to move on So quickly. please do NOT ask me questions i WILL throw up.#ALSO LIKE book 3 alfonse fresh in my mind. i did take a break after The Incident (gustav).#but like. goes so insane actually. this is really all he knows how to be. constantly in service to others. made to be a tool.#it's so fucked up bc you can see he is genuinely wired like that too. he WANTS to help. he wants to do good#but man................... i def don't have the words for it rn it's just so tragic. but i think about it All The Fucking Time.#GOD SORRY I'M HAVING ANOTHER ALEAR FB MOMENT. ALFONSE. ALFONSE.#cut off that tangent just to make a whole other post about it.#fe alfonse#moe tag#TAGGING IT. bc i rambled about it in the tags and it's MY OC I MAKE THE RULES 😤😤😤😤😤

oc brainstorming, too.
weak to the enemies to lovers trope, except they're both generally good guys, if not a little morally grey. the worst they really do is get on each others nerves. and boy do they get on each others fucking nerves....
(oc (drafted) lore below and in the tags)
two sides of the same coin.
Boss Ain't Gotta Know vs Mr. By the Books.
Books is based on a mix Leon Kennedy, Zane Flynt (in style choices/occupation), and Marcus Fenix. Real hardass, bottles his emotions hardcore, generally a sweet guy and empathetic. Struggles to show that, though. maybe he's that "abused dog -> learns to trust again" trope. Guy's a golden retriever who hates hugs.
Jade Smartass is based (semi) on Duncan (total drama) and (HIGHLY) on Damon Baird. He's a fucking asshole who definitely goes a little too far, but has good intentions. He doesn't get social cues nor the appropriate time to make that morbid joke-. He hates the situation, he hates dealing with others, and he tries to make the most of it. Maybe he's the type to try to scare people off because he's just afraid of getting hurt...
Mostly based on the Marcus/Baird enemies to *brothers* but these two are just very much in love with each other in the gay way. (I watched a video on those two and how their relationship grew over time. Hating each other to hugging each other once they reunited... <3) ("like two assholes on their first date" - dom santiago)
#oc lore#baird is definitely bfs on the side with cole train while dating sam (it's a poly relationship)#these two are soldiers also#definitely unrealistic fantasy world#books hides his face cuz uhhh monster or something#he's ashamed of it and it could get him killed#rule breaker probably makes him feel worse cuz 'oh the monsters are truly horrid' and he doesn't realize#no it's not an analogy for anything i just want them to be a little complex and want to include monsters#flawed as fuck but doing their best#maybe books feels almost like they're even... after the venom and bitterness.... they'll have a makeup session that's so fuckin steamy#apologies in that hard-to-talk kind of way#isn't gonna cure either of them of their bad traits#that takes some time#it's partially toxic and it's healing for the both of em#this is no ideal relationship btw lol#but i want *good* things to occur in the long run#therapy!#oh and both are assassin types#jaded works with snipers and archery#books is a commando/operative type#books can wear his mask without question bcuz of his job#jaded smartass doesn't give a fuck about dress code + there's nothing commanding officer can really do#end of the world and all that no time for discipline (and CO lets it slide)

I made these sketches the week SOTM launched, and I didn't think about posting them at the time. I recently looked at them again and thought "hmm, why not". In my own way, I decided to add a *little* color to make it a little more nice,and I edited the image *just* a little,and boom, here it is. My Riley Wells design. There's not much to say about the process of creating her design. I only used the portrait you find in the game as a reference, and I made a design of her at the time she joined JDS and then Gent. There's not much to say,really.
These were sketches made after I made an initial sketch of her to put the idea of her design on paper, and were made to help solidify and test out her design better. I haven't drawn her since.
So, yeah. They aren't much, and I don't have much to say about them. But I wanted to eventually show my design that I made of her. Plus, those sketches turned out quite nice,so there's that.
Other than a small idea that I don't know when I'll do, I don't have anything in mind that could result in drawing Riley again in the future. But hey, in case one day I end up wanting to draw her again, at least I have a design prepared for the occasion.
As a bonus, here is the first sketch I made of her. No editing or colors.
#bendy and the ink machine#batim#bendy: secrets of the machine#bendy sotm#bsotm#riley wells#crookedsmileart#I like the theories that she is either A- the protagonist of The Silent City#(or at least; she has a certain type of relevance/connection with that game)#or B- the protagonist of Bendy 3#both probabilities have chances imo#and it's more likely to me that the lore related to her is being teased for something future;#than to be lore that applies to SOTM specifically#I mean; I've been wondering; is this game really canon?#like; obvious; things teased there will be relevant in the future#and the lore and characters introduced in this game are canon#but what about things like; the drawing board? the dark void with the arc? the rooms with the teasers?#the “game” part; basically. Is this all canon?#Is the lore we learn about Riley SOTM lore? Or is it a teaser for lore from a future project? (as I said before)#you could very well argue that; Yes; SOTM is canon for the games timeline#and find a place where this game fits in with the other entries in the series#but;idk;considering what this game is at the end of the day (a short interactive experience that teases future projects)#and its more “meta” nature so to speak? with its teasers; secrets and easter eggs#makes me think the “main” part of this game isn't actually canon#Again; I do think that the lore and characters introduced in SOTM are canon and will be important later down the line#but things like the game's locations; the “Player”; the secrets; easter eggs and such? I don't think these things in the game are canon#but like I said; it is also possible to argue that this game is indeed canon#And if you want to talk about why you think that is (assuming anyone is reading this); I'm all ears#It would be intriguing to know more;you know

a stupid irrational thing i also dont really like/am afraid of is people somehow archiving my really old writing and art and giving it fandom treatment where stuff I might have said like 7 years ago is 'secret lore' of the characters and it isn't
#its always kind of annoyed me when people try to find “hidden lore” for characters#and its either stuff that's obviously no longer considered canon/outdated stuff or an easter egg that also isn't really “canon”#idk whenever i update my characters I get scared solmeone's gonna be like “erm I thought X never did Y!” or be like#“omg X's REAL NAME is Y!!! This is so Hilarious and we will only refer to them as such now”#its an irrational fear for myself but it annoys me to see people do it with other media i guess too.

types of enstars satellite characters:
get mentioned often and have a defined personality but don't appear: hokuto's grandma, kuro's sister, ruka
appear in the story but don't get dialogue themselves, other characters translate what they're saying or doing: anzu, maguro, tori's sister, GFK
have their own dialogue but no sprite: idea, makoto's dad
#well anzu isn't really a satellite character#but not putting her in the second category felt wrong#enstars#im behind on godfather lore im not touching those guys#by satellite i mean that. they're kind of orbiting around#relevant enough but don't have a sprite#i hear seiya was tier 2 at first sldjksmlkm#idea p much jumped from 1 to 3 girlboss#makoto's dad didnt talk much either tho right 🤔#i'd say she's at the top importance out of these guys#mar's midnight rambles

I prefer Guys characterization in the princes path rather then his consort route
I feel like all the routes should've progressed slower tbh but with Guy in particular I feel like it would really work with a slow burn romance
Also, unrelated but MC always falls in love with her chosen consort by chapter 10 like girl you've known this man for 2 weeks
#also the length of time each path spans isn't clear therefore it either feels too fast paced or soon#i kinda wish book 1 consort routes were more figurative like still focused on the progression of their relationship and character developmen#but less focused on the actual establishing of the relationship if that makes any sense#i guess it would have to be different for different characters and the overall dynamic of the relationship but regardless#with 30 chapters + 3 interludes and your chosen ending you would think you can do alot with that#cus 30 chapters is alot and 5 story parts per chapter too#i dont think alot of the stories need tp change if im being honest now#but imagine if each chapter included more subtance not to mention detail to clarify alot of things#overall I thing the book 1 consort routes to felt really filling were Roy or Toa#or maybe knight i remember the first time I read knights route like i was watching a movie cus i ended up really sucked into the story#and the lore of it too#same with Roy#i wish there was more side plot to the consort route cus realistically im not thinking about or doing the same thing everyday even if im#set on a specific path and moving forward towards a goal if that makes any sense#the path or goal in this case being cuffing one if these ridiculously hot men yk like im not gonna be thinking about this man every second#of the goddamn day no#court of darkness#kay just saying shit

https://www.tumblr.com/endlessfuckup/754161176164843520/god-i-hate-the-dan-and-phil-fandom-too-theyre-so?source=share their latest stunt? im not in the fandom but im nosy lol
Dan and Phil have been hyping up this "special announcement" for this "secret project" in a way they never have before with others in the past making it clear that this was a very big deal
They'd also made it clear that they've been busting their asses on this secret project, were really excited about it and were expecting us to be excited about whatever this was
It was supposed to be a huge surprise
Well... greedy and impatient fans were scouring the internet for any crumb of evidence that they were going on another tour and saw that ticketmaster posted the promo for the Aus/NZ leg of the tour before the official announcement was made (in error due to timezone difference)
Had people just been patient no one would have known about this before it was fixed
The person/people who originally saw this should have kept their mouth shut or notified dan and/or phil about it (its very easy to get in contact with them/their team)
this will be the 3rd tour as a duo and their first tour together since coming out as gay/confirming their relationship (and also just not giving a fuck about how they're perceived anymore)
so this was quite significant (hence why they'd been hyping it so much) and is something the phandom has been looking forward to for years
And it all got completely spoiled by "tour truthers" searching for evidence
#my best summary of what happened anyways#there is a lot of lore behind why this was such a big deal that i didnt feel like typing out#im genuinely pissed about it being leaked like this#it isn't the first time this happened either#its incredibly fucking rude to do shit like this#more importantly most of their fans are grown ass adults#who should not be acting like this anymore#if i had fans like this is cancel the damn tour lmao#i wasn't expecting it to be something as big as a world tour for a lot of reasons#i would have been excited to hear them announce this (I thought it was going to be a documentary or special series)#I'll still get tickets if they come to philly#if i can afford it anyways#but this whole thing genuinely made me really angry and i do not want to be associated with the phandom anymore because of this#sorry for the novel but heres the tea ig lol

being a g1 lore lair but loving imps means you need to either forsake your one lore rule that dragons have to be g1 or you have to fork out every dollar you've ever owned
#flight rising#i'm making specific exceptions for my ability to get imps now#like they either have to be gifts from my partner#or they have to be from a rescue/hatchery#OR they have to be triple basic to get that completed project go brrr vibe#i can't just go onto ah and buy a pretty imp#i like being a g1 lair most of the time bc i like what it lets me do with my lore#also i think maybe ''g1 lair'' isn't super accurate because i breed my g1s and keep their offspring for lore reasons#but i don't go out and buy g2+ for lore dragons i can only breed them (except imps)#it's fun though! i really like doing it this way! i like that my family trees are contained in my lair and i can do all sorts of things!#but UGH the whole imp thing gets annoying sometimes because i just genuinely love imps#i KNOW i can genb it but i've done a genb project before and was unhappy with the result and ended up giving her away#AND i just wasn't a fan of the fact it wasn't randomized like hatching an egg is

I made a baby 🥺
I named it Weep
Basically, it's supposed to be a multiverse travelling creature baby thing that's always following this small ball of light
It got that cloak/cape in one of the worlds it went to. It was a gift by a blacksmith who really wanted to help
#gacha club#gacha club oc#oc#baby 🥺#the halo is like a magic reflecting shield#gifted by the small ball of light when it had first grabbed it#im really sitting here making lore for this baby when i have two entire stories planned out and this baby isn't in either one-#oh well#might find a way include it in the stories :)

episode review i am never going to recover from this
#meaghan talks#tlou hbo#tlou hbo spoilers#full review i still don't really care about kathleen like i get what they were trying to do and i think she's very sabinacore#but ultimately i didn't care all that much about her story or her brother because i just did not have enough time with her#on one hand i love her bc like. look at her. but also i don't actually care all that much#i joke about the silver fox but idc about him either#i don't even know his name#i liked seeing the ish stuff underground but i do kind of wish we had gotten expanded lore on that bc i thought his whole deal was cool#ONTO THE GOOD PARTS#ellie and sam. full stop i loved their interactions and bonding over the comics they had read#and playing soccer. and sam laughing and henry saying he hadn't heard that in a while. literally heartbreaking#the acting was incredible and there were so many moments where i had to face that in a lot of ways henry isn't all that old#in so many ways he's also just a kid forced to pick up a burden that was far too heavy for him and either sink or swim#and i think joel sees that in a lot of their interactions but he doesn't really know what to do with it#and god. ellie trying to cure sam. trying to stay awake with him through the night. but inevitably falling asleep.#that ellie and joel took precious time and energy and properly buried them.#and ellie wrote i'm sorry on sam's notepad. that's when the tears actually started and i just had to sit there like!!! cool!! awesome!!#AND WE GET TOMMY NEXT EPISODE!!!!!

"So... uhm... It's not what it looks like." An elf, practically about five foot tall with orange hair, is standing there with a squirrel-like creature in her hands. Earlier, it looked like she was in a HEAVY debate with the little rodent, but since now Aria got noticed, she smiled sheepishly and placed the animal down on the ground. "I was just, uh... I didn't agree with his politics." What is she TALKING about?? (For Herja, from Aria)
unprompted asks. » always accepting!
"Er... so in other words, I was merely envisioning you arguing with a chipmunk?" Herja soon questions, allowing utter bewilderment to seep through her tone. Honestly, considering her captain had managed to learn how to talk to animals after fighting off a bear of all things, it wasn't as if she would have a hard time believing this girl might have also been proficient at communicating with other critters. The moment she tries to explain herself further, however, Herja couldn't help but sweat-drop, for her words only left more questions than answers.
"M-My apologies, milady, but I truly have no idea what you're talking about," she then admits, because she wasn't aware chipmunks could even get into politics the same way everyone else could, let alone have intricate conversations about them with what appeared to be a female goblin. "Nevertheless, I'm glad your squabble remains of little importance?"

me: it's fine, i'll just do a lil bullet point bio to give all the important details straight-away
me, a minute later and summoning all the spooky vibes i can muster: i'm gonna write a chapter-style bio once again and hope people read it <3
#am i gonna end up writing lore posts to explain bronwyn's history? most likely but i like the idea of her being a bit of a mystery#bc i mean! if you were to encounter her in a story she /would/ be a mystery to you#you wouldn't learn her backstory until a ways into the story or in some spinoff#i dunno if anyone else does this? but in my mind i view certain characters as either side characters or main characters#and bronwyn is definitely a side character who helps the main character in their journey somehow#but at first you're worried she's gonna be a villain which would suck bc she's likeable :' )))#but anyway asdf that kinda plays into how i'm writing her bio#bc it isn't from her pov like i would normally write! and i'm!! excited!!!#it feels really good to boot up the computer and write on here man oh man#after i'm done with her bio i'm gonna work on sending out the asks i owe and check my tag bc i'm seeing some answered asks in my feed hehe#get ready to ramble | ooc

I've been once again maining Klee throughout this Veluriyam Mirage questline a nd while exploring the mirage, both because I did get her skin, but also because it cheers me up so much to see her having fun.
#also the oceanid lore is incredible#I was right when I once said to someone that the oceanids are going to play some part in Fontaine#every summer event so far has been a sort of a preview to certain aspects of the next regions mechanics and/or archon quest#Maguu Kenki and Kazuha's involvement as well as the waverider being obvious for Inazuma in the first golden apple archipelago event#in the second one it was the 'dream state' thing which became a whole feature as the samsara in sumeru archon quest and with aranara etc#also some puzzle mechanics from 2.8 were adopted in sumeru though not in the exact same ways#now I'm suspecting it's the carnival & theatre themes and the oceanid lore at the very least- likely other stuff as well#I also am pretty certain about oceanids because the game has been fairly consistent about talking about their migration#I would not be surprised if we got another extra-long world quest series that had to do with them#and actually I do think oceanids WILL play some part in the archon quest as well especially since it's BECAUSE of focalors that they left#and so far practically every archon has had some kind of a personal growth journey during their respective quests#Ei being the most obvious one but I do think every archon quest is a representation of the archons' ideals#and the archons having to come face to face with the world changing and them having to 'adjust' their ideals somewhat because#the traveler's company to them lets them heal and see things from different perspectives#Venti wasn't quite so obvious but I do feel like it's a matter of his return and some aspects of what is and isn't true freedom#Zhongli did most of the introspection himself so that wasn't as obvious either but it's more to do about rule and status and the importance#of roles of deities and so on#while Inazuma is so obvious I don't really need to elaborate. Ei's idea of eternity was idiotic and she came to realize it. thats all#while Nahida... I think she sort of grew emotionally wiser in some ways because of the whole Rukkhadevata thing even though#she herself doesn't remember it at all#that's why I think ultimately archon quests ARE about the archons themselves and not really the traveler#the traveler has their own archon quest series after all#it's sometimes easy to forget the real point of the quests is not the traveler but rather the travel/journey itself#while travelers own archon quests are their & their sibling's own journey in a similar way#anyway.#just some evening thoughts I had#chalk thoughts
