🗡️Rated E
🗡️200k words
🗡️Rook/Lucanis
🗡️COMPLETE

A Veilguard sequel fic about the Crows, the Chantry, the Blight, and traumatized heroes learning to live with themselves.

archiveofourown.org/works/611342...
Thunder Without Rain excerpt: Solemn, devoted Lucanis. He doesn’t know how heavy his regard is, how the force of his attention sends shivers down her spine. Dutybound Lucanis, who would never ask her to stay in Treviso; does he think it’s kinder that way? That the question, once vocalized, might clip her wings? He offers deaths at every turn, like each life is a bauble that caught her eye at market. The world holds perhaps a score of throats he wouldn’t slit at her word. It's sweet, in its way. Comforting, sometimes, having the most fearsome Crow in Antiva at her shoulder. Galling, occasionally, when people look at her and only see the threat of Lucanis’s shadow. Lucanis, holding her after the latest round of nightmares. Anchoring her to sanity with his soft beard against her cheek, his hands on her ribcage while her heart tries to beat itself out of her chest. Every night in his arms is another night she’s grateful she outlived the gods. Life would be simpler if she loved him a little less. Or: The gods are dead, the world's a mess, no one is happy about the new Talon, and Rook's haunted by regret. Rook, Spite, and Lucanis figure out how to live despite it all. Ceridwen and Lucanis embracing

From about five hours in my major complaint is I picked the medium puzzle setting and now I really wish I'd picked the harder one but I don't think I can change it mid playthrough

A small black and white comic. The comic shows me in four stages. At the beginning I am lurched over in my office chair, prepared to work hard. A speech bubble says: 'Okay. Time to lock in and-.' My cat's head is peeking up from around my lap. In the second part, my cat has started to crawl into my space. I look down at her, but am still distractedly saying: 'Time to lock-' In the third part my cat is starting to make herself comfortable on my chest, where she likes to be. I am succumbing, looking off in the distance saying: 'To-' By the fourth section, I have fully surrendered. She is sleeping on chest. It's all over.

It isn't that serious but it's kind of annoying that my old sylvix fics are way more popular than any of my veilguard fics. The veilguard fics are better lol. I'm proud of the sylvixes but I've gotten so much better at sticking to what i really want to write and delivering the emotional punches

"He wouldn't. Let me. Talk!" Spite said. "He wouldn't let me kiss you, either," Ceridwen said. "Selfish man. He used to know how to share." "He can't stop you now."

A screenshot of a tumblr post by user plounce, posted on January 8th 2024. It reads: thancred "i hate myself so fucking much, i think i'm a useless piece of shit, but i have this overwhelming trait and skill of Survival so i won't die. i'll dig in my heels and survive because there's people i need to protect(/serve)." waters VERSUS y'shtola "i am perfectly secure in myself and i like who i am more than i like any other person, and this self confidence has me act very boldly and throw myself into the jaws of death constantly because i personally think it's the best/most effective course of action and i don't really care what anyone else thinks, they need to work around me" rhul. hating yourself so much that you live VERSUS loving yourself so much you constantly nearly die

I'm really pleased with how much I've leveled up my unhealthy relationship writing this year. Fluff is fun to visit but most of the time I want my fictional relationships kind of fucked up

just saw a post so good I have to put it here too
Tumblr text post by joseopher (about a problematic ship) actually i think the power dynamics should get more unbalanced and they should have less respect for each other's autonomy and they should violate more boundaries and commucate worse and fuse together in a tangled mass of tragedy until the lines between them blur and vanish and they are one single unified embodiment of unending worship tagged: maevzeph, thank you op

The misogynistic fucks in the admin are trying to make it so that grad school certifications in female-dominated professions (nursing, therapy, education) no longer count as “professional degrees” & you can’t get loans to go to grad school.

The DoE has reclassified numerous health professional and other degrees, limiting access to federal student loan programs eligible for the higher OBBBA loan caps from thousands to a few hundred.

As ALWAYS, this is about $$.

We're about to become REALLY "great"...

anyway the thing about fanfic is that it's not essentially bad or good; it's essentially amateur. some people are absolutely out there writing award-worthy prose (some fic writers ARE award-winning writers IRL!), but that's not the point. the point is that we're all telling campfire stories. it's a community, and it's a way to spend some more time in the worlds and stories that we love.
