I am reblogging not only because gorgeous but I am going to save up to get a commission from you because your gothic style fucking ROCKS

So i actually planned it as a fast sketch. Buuut Astarion have curles and i have no knowledge to fast sketch curles T__T

I drew it to showcase their relations which are quite a bit complicated and that's why i tried to make their faces emotionless. Cuz we don't like things simple hehe. TW: toxic relationship So a bit of the story

I don't know if anyone cares at all but i'll write some things about them. To tell it simple in my hc there was a dialog between her and Gortash (their relationship are also interesting but i'll tell about it later maybe) when they were first alone after they met in the castle that imho explaines a lot.

-So you, bloodborn murder incarnated, found yourself a pale vampire freak in the woods, he tried to kill you, you got aroused, bedded him, and don't get me wrong, all of those listed are perfectly normal activities for you, till the point where you somehow managed to, what, date him? -Memory loss would do miracles to you. -Will try that next time i'll get bored. -He has potential. I'll fix him -Fix him? I suppose damage to your brain is far more severe than i expected. -He is just not bad enough for me yet. And i'll fix that. -Well, that sounds better, but you got me for a moment.

So what they have I suppose can be called quite a twisted love. He used her, she used him, they will kill for each other, but they also both don't know life without control, hunger and danger all around and habits that they have due to that won't magically disappear. Erayne has some kind of feelings to him only because she've lost memory, her previous self is nothing but a murder and what changed now is that memory loss allowed her to grew her own will and desires that she had before coming to Bhaal temple. But those are very far from being simple nice person or world savior since she was still raised as a drow and i don't think such bloodline and past would not affect what she has become even after their journey.

Yo, I just wanted to tell you, I am LOCKED IN to What Could Have Been. It already feels a lot different from other fics with a similar premise because of how organic everything unfolds.

I feel like Ekko is good with being a kid again for the moment because he thinks he can reverse it with enough time. When he realizes he’s in fact in for the long haul…well, at least Benzo’s alive. I imagine he’ll cope with his development by doing what he does best and hyperfocusing on his present (to avoid thinking deeply about it).

And Jinx…well, she was already critically suicidal when they made the jump, so I’m a lot more worried for her.

All this to say that was a really good start lmao.

AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! i’ve never written these characters before even though i’ve been a fan of the show since it first came out so i’m really glad everything feels organic. we didn’t get a lot of the gang as kids so i’m really excited to explore their dynamics and how they change with everything ekko and jinx know now.

yeah ekko loves to ignore his own emotions by focusing on the bigger picture. there will be plenty of that, especially in the next few chapters!

i hope you’ll continue to enjoy where the story goes and thanks for reading!

I think SaFI might actually be the best choice for NaNo. I'm more excited about it than either half of WCHB (especially the first half, which I've temporarily stopped slogging through) and I think it might be the only part of this series I'll need zero canon references open for, at least until I get to some of the Hashira training arc pieces and side stories. Conversely the first half of WCHB is probably the one that follows canon most closely, which is probably why I wasn't enjoying it too much.

Amazing work for an upcoming chapter!! <3

commission for @bellasmumblingsandmusings

[myrmyrtheorca]

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love & 🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh & 🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately? mb if u answered any of these alr <3

some more answers for the truth or dare!! no worries I didn't receive any of those yet -u-

🥤 ⇢ these days I've had exactly 0 time to read anything but whenever I get a little break at work I like to take my mind off things by either reading the Varia Housekeeping Survival Guide by my buddy Lix, or WCHB by ShaderiaVoid! Being actively reading fanfiction from a relatively short time (i.e. having lived under a rock all these years), I probably can't reccommend anything the rest of the world has already read...

🥐 ⇢ the fucking "it is wednesday my dudes" frog meme will keep living rent free in my head and reminding me of the current day of the week until I perish

🧩 ⇢ Usually I avoid tags that I know aren't my thing so I don't really know about this one, nothing in particular comes to mind qwq'' I always try to give stuff a chance in general even if it doesn't tick all of my boxes at first

A sentiment I sometimes see that I disagree with: "you shouldn't have a devblog if you don't even have screenshots yet" obvs I'm biased because that's where I'm at right now; concept art & warbling but idk if I found out a game I loved had an archived devblog & it went all the way back into the early concepting phase?? I'd be stoked so stoked

All those delicious little "what could have been" nuggets I love that stuff and that's why I was ok w/starting this blog as bare-bones as it is if it can fulfill the hypothetical situation of someone being curious enough about the game to get excited for all those WCHB nuggets, then imho it's worth it

But I suppose this may be related to the intent of the blog if you're making it for an audience, then I understand the expectation.  but if you're devlogging just for your own productivity/accountability, and ppl can follow along if they so choose, I say do what you want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[endlessgoldensky]

what if I just ended WCHB with a cliffhanger?

What Could Have Been #7

A vignette with a little more meat on its bones than we’ve had thus far in Phase 2. Callie attends her first festival in the valley. An unfortunate encounter with Shane brings back memories she'd rather forget. Sterling and Emily come to her rescue.

Takes place after “Dinner with Friends.”

Sneak Peek:

Sterling had seen Shane do this, and Sterling had done just about everything wrong at the time. Afterwards, one of the things Shane had stressed was not to touch him when he acted like that. Emily looked up at Sterling, obviously startled and confused. "What's going on?" she asked. "She's disassociating—probably a flashback of some kind," he said in a quiet undertone, trying to keep his tone even. "Don't touch her. We need to remind her that she's here, now, and safe." Emily looked completely lost. Sterling didn't blame her. He crouched down on Callie's other side, not too close so as not to crowd her. "It's Sterling, Callie. You're at the Egg Festival, here in Stardew Valley. You're safe. Can you hear me?" She didn't respond.
