The crossovers between Gale Dekarios and the mages of Dragon Age continue! Today it’s the turn of the magnificent Vivienne de Fer, whom I’ve dressed in Gale’s epilogue outfit!
If I were to continue the series, perhaps including the mages from The Veilguard, who would you like to see next? Let me know!
Just realised I haven't shown off Turmeric's new look yet!
When I was first playing with adding mods for some visual uniqueness for new characters, I found this 'winter plait' in "More Hair 2" (by eleanorroos) and immediately fell in love with it for her. I was already planning on changing her hair anyway and this is absolutely perfect in how it looks like a natural evolution from her previous hair - even using the same bit of ear-covering fringe at the front.
I also changed the colour - just by removing the highlights - because all the turmeric's been beaten out of her hair by now, there isn't a hint of yellow left in there. Her current name is now more a remnant of a bygone time as she grows more distant from the 'just a normal bard' phase of her life, and it shows.
In the story, I'm saying the reason for her rapid hair growth is the effect of a wild magic surge from Honeymeans. It was down to her ankles at first, which Bingemir laughed himself silly to see when the next delivery arrived (and Hush was thankfully willing to help in cutting it). Turmeric definitely gained a new respect for Orin's giant braid as she desperately tried to wrangle her own mass of Rapunzel hair before it could continue to trail in the snow and catch against the ridges of the tomb's walls any longer.
He folded his arms so funny that I wanted to think of something to go with it
Astarion: “No one ever cared about me >:\”
Karlach, standing 10ft away: “ME I CARE I CARE SO MUCH”
Chapter 2 is out!!
I'm up to 10,000 words already, great start. It's gonna be so fucking long, isn't it?
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.
*struggles while writing* i suck and writing is hard
*remembers some ppl use ai* i am a creative force. i am uncorrupted by theft and indolence. i am on a journey to excellence. it is my duty to keep taking joy in creating.
sorry for the "bad" take but i fully believe even homeless people who "are lazy" or "aren't trying" to find housing still deserve housing. maybe things were too hard for too long for them and they gave up. maybe they just genuinely don't know where to go. maybe they're chronically ill, mentally ill and/or neurodivergent. maybe they're experiencing severe psychosis and can't "try". maybe they're having a pain flare up. maybe they're going through withdrawals, or are heavily intoxicated to cope with not knowing if they'll have a place to sleep and food to eat. you don't know. you have no clue what they're going through. they deserve to go through it in a home.
and yes this includes homeless people who are "lazy" and do not have any known or diagnosed health conditions that would explain or impede their ability to function and survive. i don't care if it's due to your health or not- you still deserve housing. lazy people are still people.
I know we are all like "people in caveman times would drill holes in their head to relieve headaches" andwe go oh that's so stupid that's so dumb but like. then I get a headache and I'm like.ooooh I get it I get it. Grug prepare the drill.
I'm curious--how do you guys go about creating your OCs?
you have a wound that will never heal? me too! actually it's gradually widening and expanding, consuming more of me with each passing day [props my chin in my hands and smiles at you] at what point do you think i'll become the wound itself and not simply the bearer?
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
