Tomorrow is a Hope, Never a Promise - Part Two

Characters: Neve Gallus x Rook x Davrin — Radhika

Words: 7,423

Rating: Mature

Written for veilguard appreciation week - using the prompt determination!

The war against the Elven gods had been long, but they had won. Despite everything; the world was saved, the veil was standing, and life moved on. Days later, the woman known as Rook vanished, becoming nothing more than a figure of history. As the years passed, a different storm started brewing on the horizon.Neve and Davrin need to find Rook before something else finds her first, but how do you track down someone who doesn’t want to be found?

“It’s not as though she was actually one of us,” Tarquin told Neve. He had taken the office and ripped away the glamor that his predecessors had slapped across the walls. Paintings of old Knight-Commanders had been replaced with maps of the city, shelves filled with worn out books, and a few comfortable chairs for victims and grieving families.

The only personal object in the whole room was a small painting by the window of the day Archon Tilani had appointed him Knight-Commander. The templar order needed a new course, she had told them firmly in the hidden rooms behind Lorelei’s Pawnshop. It needed to gain the trust of the people and, in order to do that, there needed to be someone who would not bow beneath the weight of money and threats.

Someone who knew the system and could start ripping out corruption one weed at a time.

Tarquin had been so thrilled at his new position he had threatened to burn the Templar Headquarters to the ground just to ‘start the whole damn thing over’.

Unfortunately for him, Maevaris Tilani had made a name for herself on calling bluffs and even offered to supply him with the funding to do exactly that. Metaphorically, of course.

how do you do, fellow Creatives™

[fellshish]

shoutout to the fanfic so fucked up so smutty so particular to canon that it’s impossible to turn into an original novel. when something exists solely for making other fans eat glass. and you can only tell a very particular kind of person at a very particular time in their life about it after reading, creating a unique warrior bond forever

[lesbiandomesticity]

you’re sitting across from me in a shitty diner in anywhere, america, and i watch you pour too much creamer in your coffee and i think “i love you.” you look up, catching me staring, and for a moment i think i’m brave enough to say it, but i take too long and the moment passes. i take the balled up straw wraper and flick it at you, pretending that was my plan all along. you laugh. i never want to go another day without hearing that laugh. i think i will have all the time in the world to say it.

Clips from the Oklahoma House floor concerning anti-trans legislation

[soupboyfri3nd]

Okay yall, I need you to listen up. Maureen Turner is our only trans voice in the Oklahoma house, and they have recently been censured for “harboring a fugitive” (letting the partner of a victim of police brutality come down from a panic attack in their office.) it’s thinly veiled bullshit to keep them from fighting the anti trans legislation happening right now.

They’re also the first Muslim representatives in the state, and are constantly receiving threats to their safety from hate mail.

If you can, please donate to their campaign. If you can’t, consider sending them a letter of support. Gods know they could use some positive mail.

Seriously, Oklahoma trans folks are going through a lot right now. Our access to healthcare and even our right to visibly exist in public is going to be taken away from us the moment session ends in May, if not sooner. My partner and I are one of many families that are preparing to flee. And Rep Turner is one of the only people fighting for us. So please, if you can, show trans Oklahomans some support but uplifting our only voice in the house.

Video description:

A shirtless man with surgical scars on his chest replies to a comment reading, "poor lady what did you do to your".

The man says:

"So, I'm actually not transgender, and this is a really good example of why it's important to be aware that different medical procedures can leave very similar types of scars. And also just not to make assumptions about people in general. For example, yes, the scars I have do look really similar to what they call, um, I think top surgery scars. But they're actually from, uh, getting a set of my ribs removed, so I could suck my own -"

Video cuts off here.

YO, there are SO MANY great groom outfits around the world where he is dressed all in silk, lace, gold, pearls and glitter, with capes and scarves, hats and stitchery and I find it so sad that most of these countries switch over to “suit”. Like, look at these handsome boys!

South Africa

Thailand

Japan

Georgia

[apassionateempress]

This last addition to this ^^^ is my genuinely my most favorite part!

[randomrav3ns]

I rb’d a different version of this and added other cultures (including that Georgian one – which, ftr, notes that these guys are Georgians in America, because if they’d worn those clothes [chokha] in Georgia as openly gay men having a gay wedding, there’s a not-insignificant chance they would’ve gotten killed, since gay men aren’t considered “real men” and only “real men” are deemed worthy of wearing chokha. Which I think is contextual information worth sharing here – that this isn’t just beautiful cultural garb but also a very deliberate act of defiance and pride using that clothing in the face of the intensely hypermasculine, homophobic culture it comes from).

Rb’ing this alternative version just because I love the inclusion of some of the other same-gender weddings.

DONT USE THE PIRATE BAY PLEASEEEE I BEG YOU.

Use 1337x.to rarbg or rutracker, highly moderated public torrent trackers, because Pirate Bay has long been shut down, unmoderated, and cloned by some shady actors AND use Mullvad VPN (or any other vpn but mullvad is the best definitely) to protect your ip address while you torrent, bind it to qbittorrent and do not use utorrent anymore either because it is littered with adware.

OR if you don’t want to pay for a VPN, use direct download or streaming sites. Please y’all just take one pass through on the r/piracy or r/freemediaheckyeah mega threads to find whatever you want for free and also not infect your computer with Trojan viruses.

[clorofolle]

^^^ yes!!! Thank you sm.

If any of those terms made you go ????? and you think pirating must be So Hard, I wrote a verbose but easy to follow guide a while back for total beginners!

Pinning this since I genuinely think Piracy is a great skill to have and I want to share it with anyone who'd like to see it Okay so! You n
