Fjord's helping you and you're gonna light him up? I'm sure he wasn't going to, really. Right, Caleb? The Mighty Nein 1.06: Many Gifts

[astraldestiny]

d.arktow show thoughts / spoilers

oh veth should not have had that baby :)

caleb really decided thats HIS baby huh

can we talk about the fact caleb just carries stuff like veth's breastmilk with him or ....

the hint that yasha is uneasy around / doesn't know how to feel about kingsley hrghh wish we had more time to look at that

jester's sendings finally catching up with her lets go ( will she learn anything from this? probably not lol )

fjord once again mvp

anyway need veth to get a divorce asap. like girl. its time. you didnt even want another kid and it SHOWS and now its getting WORSE

the poster lied to me about cad and e.ssek we didn't even get an e.ssek mention I am devastated. insert joke about caleb being around the baby ( THATS NOT HIS BABY ) so much e.ssek just decided he needs to go on holiday alone for a bit. you know when your friends have a baby and suddenly their whole world is just the baby? e.ssek is somehow experiencing this but with his partner. its not his partner's baby.

[astraldestiny]

I know the f.andom loves to feminise e.ssek ( we all know why ) but imo hes probably by dynasty standards not that feminine at all and I don't think he wants to be seen as feminine either. I mean cutting his hair short was a deliberate choice to break with the standards of the very much matriarchial culture of his home.

[astraldestiny]

no one:

zev: dont ask me about my past if you dont want me to lie severely or bring down the entire mood in this camp :))

YOU WEREN'T PART OF THE PLAN — indie fantasy multi muse featuring Essek Thelyss of Critical Role Campaign 2, written by Hope

[revcre]

it may have been the falconer's rebellion that first brought the young sir julien into hal's awareness — as more, at least, than the vague awareness of a friend and vassal of a sister-in-law. who can deny that first impressions leave their mark? still, hal has in mind more than a few instances to add to the causes of, as the knight terms it, his 'distaste.' this conversation, in fact, is rapidly joining the list.

of the supposed slightly, mistrust hal must grant the man — he does mistrust him. how does one not, when one's sympathies had lain on the opposite sides of a conflict? or when at every turn the man in question remains abrasive?

hal sighs, tired of a conversation doomed to change nothing, of sparring with words against one who will only ever see the world his own way. ❛ do tell — what disrespect have I shown, sir julien? or are we merely back to my failure to pay due homage. ❜ the arrogance of the expectation rubs raw the wounds of the rebellion.

it is both of their responsibility, the way things are between them, both their responsibility for the fact that it will not change.

besides, do failed rebellions ever truly end? is the past ever truly just the past? sir julien, hal thinks, would not appreciate the philosophical musings — and hal either wishes nor dares to insinuate their practical implications.

[astraldestiny]

" As if you really have to ask. " But maybe he did, maybe the disrespect Julien felt was in fact reliant on the arrogance that led his every word and move. Halandil, some might argue, was being CIVIL given the circumstances yet Julien, unsurprisingly, claimed inherent disrespect regardless of the reality of their situation simply because there was no denying that the other man did not like him very much. Could he blame him for that? Well he certainly would — after all, Thjazi and his shameless rebellion had ended years ago. The world, including Thjazi's brother, should have long moved on, or so Julien would WISH it. At least Alogar seemed willing to put the past behind him.

" You may dabble in the arts but you've a rather poor poker face. I know everything I do and say bothers you and I can only imagine whenever your son mentions our training you roll your eyes over that too. " He had no real reason to antagonise the other so and yet ... arrogance served as temptation enough for him to pull at the edges of not quite healed over wounds anyway. " Besides, it may do you some good to remember your place. We wouldn't want a REPEAT of what happened with your brother, would we? " A low blow and one he served with a self satisfied smile.

They'll boo you but you'll be a living man — but he was no longer fighting a battle, was he? He had long transgressed from the battlefield on to far more personal matters and for what? Duty none seemed to recognise? It was supposed to be so easy, everyone was SUPPOSED to stay in their rightful place, remain in line where they belonged yet the Fang family continued to disrupt any hierarchy they got their hands on. With that they had, in Julien's eyes, committed a terrible sin, kept committing it and seemingly proudly too! " Your son has learnt to respect those around him at least. He will make an HONOURABLE fighter yet, despite his family's reputation. "

single mention of s.w on my dash and I once again wish I could recommend people my favourite s.w book of all time. unfortunately its book 13 in a 19 book series about a bunch of characters that primarily came from like 40 other books before these ones.

[astraldestiny]

so many muses on this blog where I write a single reply and go ' why are you like this '

[astraldestiny]

yeza watching his wife hang out with the guy who is clearly in love with her, extremely rude to him and inappropriately involved in their family life who is also dating the man who had a direct hand in torturing yeza while he was imprisoned in rosohna: no no this is fine Im fine. dont worry about me, veth.

[astraldestiny]

She had half a mind to leave him to his suffering when he chose to try and meet her frustration with deflective humour. This isn't funny — but the comment died before she even opened her mouth, mind taken over by concern for one of only two people who she felt any love for. Even the urge to box him for his stupidity was shut down by the feeling of warm blood on her hands. She was no healer, had no great spell in her long list to help him out and they were running low on potions. Everything in her told her he did this to himself, he should have to suffer the CONSEQUENCES like anyone else, yet her hands moved to uncork her last potion anyway. " You're a damn idiot, Bren. Never do that again or I'm leaving you behind, you hear me? " They both knew that it was en empty threat. She'd long proven she would sacrifice everything for the two boys at her side. Foolish as it might be, she could not abandon them.

" That was stupid, " she repeated for what might have been the third or fiftieth time today. " And reckless — " And they'd have to hide this incident from master Ikithon or they would all face punishment for Bren's foolishness. They were a team and that meant the mistake of one was the mistake of the TEAM. She would not see them punished for her boyfriend's attempt at showing off to her and Eadwulf. And while she refused to temper her tone, sharp and biting as it was, her eyes betrayed the genuine concern she felt for him. " You know, you're the most talented wizard of all of us. " There was no point in denying it. Ikithon had an eye on Bren specifically for a reason and he'd made little effort to HIDE his favouritism. " So stop trying to show off with other things or you'll get yourself killed. And for what? To impress us? You know there's no need for that. "

⤷ ✧ @astraldestiny said, ❝ when was the last time you had wine? and i mean good wine. ❞ ( juli.en for va.elus )

too long is the easy answer, the one she might offer, smile wry, with camaraderie. memories interpose before she might do so. the warm laughter of voices she has not heard in decades yet remembers with crystal clarity. the burst of flavors now lost to this world upon her tongue.

seventy years is the truthful answer, the one she might offer with sorrow, with nostalgia, for a world whose shadow alone remains. they are not such fast friends that they might share that grief, might mourn a changing world.

in defiance, vaelu.s pushes back against that grief. her brow arches above her veil, above eyes that, having gone distant for a moment, spark with challenge. ❛ good by your standards, or mine? ❜

[astraldestiny]

He could only try and imagine how much time lay between her and her last evening of proper celebration, if she'd ever been one to celebrate in the first place. She remained somewhat mysterious to him after all, though just because he had a hard time imagining her dancing on top of a table did not mean she had never learnt to ENJOY herself. Maybe she would surprise him one of these days, though he'd be a fool to trust she'd ever offer him an ounce of truth. After all, she had no reason to do so.

So why did he choose her for company? He'd argue, of course, that he was simply trying to get to know her given they were forced to spend at least some time together — but there was more to it. It was, in a way, REFRESHING to be in the company of someone who had no positive relationship to Thjazi Fang. Those people were frustratingly rare in his circles lately. And he had to admit, he liked her bite. " Well I don't think we'll get wine thats older than you if that's your measuring standard. "

He offered her a glass nonetheless, an easy smile on his lips and with an eagerness to kill at least one bottle tonight. " I did however try to get my hands on the best wine we can get our hands on right NOW. Just don't tell the others I have it and I'll happily keep sharing with you. "

"Who wouldn't?" Mair shrugs, averting her eyes for just a moment. She cannot begrudge Fenris his avoidance of anything Tevinter any more than she could stop the instinctual tracking Templars in her own vicinity. She'd not been nearly as wary as Bethany, but then, only one of them had magic most of their childhood.

But he was not truly the point of the conversation. Maker knows Mair's certain she'll need to step between them at some point, but not this evening. "That's not the same." Lips press together momentarily, the Ferelden woman pushing down the now-habitual defense of her own home, as Kirkwall has come to make a habit of. "We only left Lothering because of the Blight. It wasn't a choice at all. If we stayed, we died with hundreds of others."

She has no way of knowing who survived if she didn't meet them again in these dirty dingy streets.

Mair paused. Sighed. She understood Astrid's point, even if it were not an equivalent situation. It was a fair one.

[astraldestiny]

" I understand his hesitation but I don't think it is fair of him to judge me quite so harshly. " It would be easy to play the personal offence card. After all, she had established herself as an upstanding citizen, herself persecuted by her tyrannical regime, forced to flee and just as endangered as Fenris. By equating herself with him it would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to sow any doubt properly between them. She had already won this battle.

And if Fenris tried to fight her? Even better. She could play the victim then, the one wrongfully accused while the unreasonable, emotional elf could not control himself. It would be the PERFECT lie. " You think leaving my home was a choice? I guarantee you it was not. I would have loved to stay ... but the ongoing war with the Qun has made us all paranoid and they will find any excuse to accuse another of treason. When my family came under suspicion ... I was the only one to make it out alive. " There was truth in her words, though she would hardly mentioned she herself had had a hand in the death of her family. No mercy for traitors.

" I just ... I hoped Fenris would realise our situations are not that different. We have both been driven out of our HOME by fear of persecution. We have both been robbed by Tevinter of precious memories and family. But he treats me like I personally held the chain around his neck. "

What is Imari's load bearing information?

Inner circle is all people who tried to kill them

Will pay any price to cure the taint

Thinks Anders did nothing wrong

Turned into a paranoid, power hungry liar post circle
