I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!

Prize for anyone who can guess what I'm talking about here
hey does anyone want to bleed out in my arms it has to be weird
"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.
Create cool summer treats for your vampire with this one neat trick
Chapter 9!
Time to deal with the consequences of everyone having the fucking stuffing beaten out of them!
With fantasy head injuries rules of course- getting clonked on the head really hard and then being unconscious for multiple hours is totally fine, isn't going to leave any damage at all. Though I suppose magical healing might actually resolve that, because it is magic after all-
What was my point again?
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 really like in fiction when they're like oh no!!! the bad guys are about to win!!! and Character Who Keeps Trying To Sacrifice Themself For The Greater Good is like. gentlemen i have an idea
Obsessed with the trope of when the Heroic Sacrifice does not work.
When the character fails to heroically sacrifice themself and now has to face all the loved ones they were about to leave.
Or even worse, the character does sacrifice themself, but it doesn't fix the situation. So those left behind have to face not only the grief of losing them, but also knowing that it was in vain.
being self aware suuuucks like yeah this thought pattern/behavior is stupid and pointless and a symptom. i know this. [does it anyways
Sometimes when I'm planning I'll abbreviate names to a varying extent, leading to this sentence that was quite funny to reread.
I mean, we've gotta make sure we have enough T for the workers, Binge! Think about how cranky you get without yours!
"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all
@fandang1 if you want more dragonborns, I also have this girl from my multiplayer run - her name is Coral and I love her.
I made Klearrhishkminal in the game for fun a while ago, so I thought I ought to share her so you could all see why Turmeric was (and still is) so enamored with her. I mean, look at her, she's gorgeous!
She's a pretty important character for someone who's literally been dead the whole time- or at least, I like to think so, I hope that impression comes across. She is the entire reason for Turmeric, well, being called Turmeric for starters.
As a reminder, she is bronze and definitely not brass - if you think you've ever seen me describe her (or Ansur!) as that because they're similar words and I forgot to check and got confused, no you didn't, that never happened. Because then Turmeric's whole character quirk of having a fondness for lightning spells because her last girlfriend had lightning breath wouldn't make sense and nobody would pick up on it! (I do hope some people have picked up on that, it's a subtle little thing, but it's there. (because we carry those we love with us, long after they're gone, after all))

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS
i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
doing nothing is good for my soul.
i am not defined by what i produce.
my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.
Chapter 8!
I like to call this one "why you should actually eat your dinner and get some rest, Turmeric". Alas, it seems she'll never learn.

🧶 BTW, Durgey is not very good at choosing colors.
I forgot to mention here I posted another chapter of these shorter (by my standards) ones last night, this time focusing on Lae’zel’s post icepick lobotomy moment that I mentioned in chapter 9 of Whistle Past the Graveyard because I thought that would be fun, so I’m mentioning that now! Go read it if you want!
lunara probably told her this... nobody say ANYTHING.
(clean version under cut)
Art cullagh: do you know a druid named Halsin?
My tav: why on earth do you think I, a random person you met 45 seconds ago, would know some druid that you heard about secondhand a hundred years ago when even you don’t know who or where he is
My tav: but yeah he’s my roommate
Judging by the fanfic I've been posting, the way to engage with readers is to make a little guy and then be really mean to them.
