My name is Taylor. I drool over wizards and freedom-fighting bald men who always wear sunglasses. I write about (and sometimes draw) video game characters.

being mindful of mutuals.

Hi friends. I know notifications can be stressful, and not getting notifications can be stressful. I would like to include as many people as I can in my posts, but only if they want.

If you would like to be included in my tag games, WIP posts, and whatever else I get around to posting, give this post a heart, that way I know it's cool. If at any point you don't want to be on this list anymore, that's totally fine. Just un-heart, absolutely no hard feelings.

Thanks for following, interacting, and otherwise being awesome.

some poignant takes. [source]

Pisces Sun.

Many Pisces seem almost allergic to things like shopping lists, maps, directions, and instructions, and for some brave souls, even watches -- they prefer to feel their way through life than to follow some plan. We find plenty of artists, poets, and musicians with Sun (and other personal planets) in Pisces.

Gemini Rising.

Definitely restless and often quick in physical expression, natives of the Gemini Ascendant exude an air of impatience even if they don't mean it. In fact, there is a cleverness to Gemini Ascendants that can intimidate some, especially sensitive folk.

Capricorn Moon.

Calm, cool, and collected--these words sum up Moon in Capricorn natives well. Messy emotions and "leaky" souls are a bit frightening for most with this position of the Moon. The truth is, they can have plenty of mood swings and some dark emotions now and again. Lunar Capricorns are often quite hard on themselves and would benefit from letting their guard down occasionally. They quickly garner reputations of being mountains of strength, and they easily hide their sensitivity behind a sarcastic manner.

Capricorn Venus

The ability to get along with--and accept--people from all walks of life as friends is strong with this position. She can readily see through insincerity in others. In relationships, tolerance is the most important "ingredient" to her. Her sexual preferences can be somewhat unconventional, and she may not be happy with a partner who tries to limit her sexual expression.

Tagging my double-air-sign pretty baby girl @cep-stories because I want to see what what hers and Eliwyn's stuff is all about!! Open tag for anyone else, too, of course!

basics.

Name: Eirael Amastacia Gynvalethuril; Eirael Frostflow (Common) Background: God Touched Gender: Elf, currently femme Sexuality: Demisexual Pronouns: she/her; any

other.

Family. Eirael was the third born child to Aamuali and Kustir Frostflow. She has a sister named Viravel (oldest) and a brother named Maunes, but neither were anywhere near Waterdeep for her birth. The members of Eirael’s family made their name appraising, enchanting, and trading magical goods, which made them a small fortune and earned them a minor noble title.

Birth. Eirael was born in Waterdeep on the 25th Eleint, Year of the Seven Sisters, 1425 DR. Traditionally, a Sige'Tel'Quessir Seeress would be present for the birth, but there was none in residence in Waterdeep at the time. She was given the name Eirael until the time came for her pilgrimage to the Snow Elf homeland, where a Seeress would divine her past lives and her current future.

Occupation. Cleric of Mystra (former); Healer

Phobias/Fears. Eirael’s worst fear is not being worthy of help or love. Closely following is the fear of hurting those who get close to her.

Hobbies. Leisure has never come easily for Eirael. That said, she received a noble’s education before her scales came in, so she has a few delights: ✧ Embroidery ✧ Pressing Flowers ✧ Reading / Notetaking / Penmanship

morals.

Alignment. Neutral good, leaning lawful good… At least during Graceless.

Flaws. ✧ Desire-Averse

Eirael spent nearly half her life (before 1492 DR) as a cleric who lived an ascetic life. She convinced herself that her desires would be met if Mystra willed it. Wounds persisted even after she left Mystra’s church, and declaring her desires remained difficult for many years after.

✧ Stubborn

Eirael made choices, not mistakes. Any ‘poor’ choice she made was reconciled with a reluctant, half-assed apology. Or else it was entirely forgotten.

✧ Secretive

Hiding her thoughts came second-nature to Eirael. Then she met Gale. Still, old habits die hard. Eirael is reluctant to talk about her family’s heresy against the Seldarine among many other topics when she meets the rest of the party members.

Virtues.

✧ Generous

…with her healing, with her time, with her empathy. Eirael was always willing to lend what she could to those in need.

✧ Proactive

Even when she appeared idle, Eirael was always making a mental list of what to do next.

✧ Curious

Learning is one of Eirael’s few true joys, and sharing knowledge is her love language.

basics.

Name: Ula Aspengrove Background: Outlander Gender: Fey Sexuality: Pansexual Pronouns: she/her; any

other.

Family. Once upon a long time ago, a very fortunate wild elf probably got lost in the Feywild, eyed a giant firbolg woman, liked what he saw and hit that. Some time later, she figures she was born. Not that the shitheel wild elf would know.

Birthplace. Under a big tree in the Feywild. What do you want? For her to draw you a map? Give you an exact place and time?

Occupation. Well, see, the thing is, sometimes adventurers really want the treasure in that difficult-to-reach ruin or something, and her job is to escort them there and back without most of them dying. Like a shepherd of sorts to newbie adventurer lemmings.

Phobias/Fears. The Most Minor Insecurities. So what if she’s small for a Firbolg? Plenty of folks are smaller. She’s still bigger than a lot of people. She can outdrink them, and probably beat them at fisticuffs after.

Hobbies. ✧ Drinking ✧ Darts ✧ Throwing Darts at Drunk Goblins after Chicken Chasing

morals.

Alignment. Chaotic “good”, as a little fey ought to be.

Flaws. Pft. ✧ “Loudmouth”

Honest is more like it. Look, the thing is, sometimes folks get cold feet when someone is being a wet blanket. If it falls to her to call it out…

✧ “Gossip”

Okay but who doesn’t like a good story? Everyone gossips. Even—no, especially—the clerics. It’s like their mouths get bored when they stop praying.

✧ “Doesn’t recognize her Flaws”

… Well, that’s just rude.

Virtues.

✧ Shoots good.

Ask anyone.

✧ Record Holder: Most Ales Drunk in an Hour in a Druid’s Grove

What do you mean it doesn’t matter others weren’t competing?

✧ Genuinely, Honestly concerned with the wellbeing of others.

… but Oakfather’s codpiece, you would think such shite fighters would at least bring a healer with them.
