This is what info dumping oc lore feels like
OH MY GOD I JUST REALISED I PUT DECEMBER. I MEANT NOVEMBER. 30TH NOVEMBER. I MEANT THIS SATURDAY. TWO DAYS.
Okay, next story should definitely be out on the 30th December.
I've gotten the plot planned out to a point where I'm starting to overthink really tiny details, which I think means I'm ready to start writing it out in full by this point. I've already gotten the first chapter done save for a few more proof-reads, and I'm 70% done with the second, so it's go time.
30th December.
I already think I'm going to make it novel-length by accident again.
Honestly MAJOR missed opportunity for Karlach to have some kind of permanent 'buff' that deals minor fire damage to anyone who touches her in melee. Like obviously it'd be strong for fighting beasts, because every time they hit her with claws/fangs they take damage, but just from a STORY-TELLING ASPECT?
How heartbreaking would it be when you're trying to cast Cure Wounds on her? In order to heal her, you have to hurt yourself and she KNOWS IT. You go to cast Longstrider on the party and you hesitate as you reach Karlach. Yeah, it's only a few points of damage, it's not that big a deal, but does she REALLY need it? Is it worth it?
You linger, hesitate. You realize you don't want to touch her. You realize that's what EVERYONE thinks when they see her. You realize she KNOWS You're hesitating, staring at her sheepishly as you try to think of whether or not it's worth the pain just to help her.
You learn to support her from a distance. Healing Word. It's not as effective, but you don't need to get hurt for her sake. And so she learns to get used to receiving help from a distance. Just words of encouragement. It's all anyone wants to give her. Maybe it's all she'll ever get.
Aid? Bardic Inspiration? You don't need to touch her to give it to her. You can keep her at a distance and not get burned. And you're still helping her.
It's just... cold.
hey bro why does your speech bubble become heart shaped when we talk ? bro why did the tail on your speech bubble curl around and make a little heart shape
Slight delay on the next chapter because I've been spending time with family - but it should be ready within the next five days!
I did find time to refine the structure of the upcoming chapters enough to confidently state we are about halfway through in terms of chapter count, however - meaning it should end at around chapter 16 (which is the same as more graves to dig, funnily enough. I guess that's the kind of story length I just gravitate towards?)
forcing every character into romance or found family ruins character discussion imo
Anonymous asked: FOR art requests, if you're still taking: Wyll from BG3?

Thank you so much for sending in a request!! <3
Chapter 6 is out!
There's stuff! There's revelations! There's bees! There's more bees! There's so many bees! I cannot stress enough how many bees there are.
And we’re off! Next story is up on AO3, and updates should come at least once every ten days as with previous (I just realised I’m working off a tenday-based schedule, this was not intentional), and I will try to post here in case of a delay.
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
