Maintaining Sanity By Daydreaming On The Clock

Trying to fix my burnout with hyperfixations.

I never checked what Lucanis says about Solas in the finale, other than the romance lines. Now I'm curious to check all the possible options.

Lucanis: Elgar'nan's life is measured in hours. As for Solas… ---------- If Rook is romancing Lucanis. Lucanis: He used blood magic against you. He betrayed us. Lucanis: He pulled you into that prison. Lucanis: I leave his fate to you, but I will not let him hurt you. Rook: Lucanis. ---------- Illario is forgiven. The Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest is completed. Lucanis: It's been asked if he can see reason. Lucanis: Solas has proven his word cannot be trusted. Why give him the chance to prove it again? Lucanis: But then, I gave that chance to Illario. Is there hope for him, or was I foolish to think so? ---------- Otherwise. Lucanis: If any deserve to set his fate, it's you. But if it were me… Lucanis: I would not banter. I would not give room for lies and false promises. Find your opening and strike. If the player saved Treviso Lucanis: There has been enough suffering in the wake of this. If the player saved Minrathous. Illario is imprisoned. The Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest is completed. Lucanis: The cost of mercy is too high when others might die in its wake. If the player saved Minrathous. Lucanis' personal quest is complete. The Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest is not complete. Lucanis: If only one of you leaves this alive, make sure it's you. Bonus cut line from Spite. Lucanis (Spite): Make. The liar. Bleed.

I don’t think I’ll be uploading each and every one of them since I’m not as fond of some as I am of others but regardless ;u; here they are

I'm microwaving Teia and Caterina today

Because like... ok so Viago tells us that Teia views the Crows and especially the Talons as her family, and Teia tells us that Caterina was basically a mother to her. Which makes sense, if you're an orphan on the street of course you're going to get attached to the first people who give you a 'home' and a semblence of safety and belonging. Very hard-won, very precarious safety and belonging, but safety and belonging nonetheless.

But like... how much of that was calculated on Caterina's end? Like I'm not saying Caterina was the one to pick Teia up off the street (maybe she was idk) but if she's like a mother to her and also her familiarity with both Lucanis and Illario sort of indicated that Caterina and the Dellamortes have been there pretty consistantly in Teia's life. How much of Teia's success (fully fledged Crow, youngest Talon in history) is due to Caterina? Like obviosuly Teia is good and works her butt of and deserves it but how much slower would the process have been without Caterina?

And how much of that kindness is Caterina being kind to a young elven girl (maybe Teia reminds her of a favourite daughter who died too soon) and how much is just her seeing a potential game piece and seizing it with both hands? Like you're telling me straight that Caterina Dellamorte would look at a young orphaned elven girl and out of the kindness of her heart decide to become a mentor? No, sorry. And I'm not saying there aren't genuine fond feelings toward Teia, Lucanis even says so, but you would have to do some very heavy lifting to think that's how that relationship started. Caterina was probably angling to have Teia installed as a Talon for years, knowing she'd have an indespensable ally for both her and her grandsons, bound not just by money or power but also by genuine affection like that of a daughter to her mother. And that isn't even without mentioning the power difference between the two of them that point to it obviously being a kind of (I don't want to say grooming but I can't think of a better word here) grooming relationship.

I think it was @skullypettibone that pointed out also how Lucanis and Illario treat her? Like Lucanis allows her to plan Caterina's funeral basically in his stead but then doesn't count her as a friend, and Illario refuses to even use a nickname for her (does he think she's beneath them? Does Caterina? Despite her fondness?)

Idk there's a lot to chew on in that relationship and I've been thinking about it for months. I also think it's a bonus that Caterina has Teia as an almost certain ally and then she drags Viago behind her like he's on a leash. Bonus help that she wasn't even betting on.

not now sweetie, mommy is watching how the massive girlbossification of female characters has led to the belief that weak and vulnerable female characters are badly written characters because apparently every woman needs to be outspoken and witty and snarky and brave in order to be considered “complex” and have any value in a piece of media!!

My game is unmodded. I have no pose packs. I don't even have a flycam.

My companions (and sometimes my Rooks fsjsklekje) like to pose themselves anyway.

Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

I meant to have this out yesterday. Happy belated pride. :)

[sunflowersosa]

I'm glad you all like the Nigeria Pride post!

Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.

I'm also not used to this much attention, lol

Thank you all!
