Salvete My Children, Brothers, Sisters, Siblings, Friends, Allies, and Fellow Strangers! To! My Home. I write but I'm generally a depressed lazy fuck, so don't expect any work soon/often. I hope you enjoy your stay, however shit it may be.
P.S. You gotta make a profile, else I'mma think you're a bot. Come on. I'm gonna block you if you just randomly follow me; have no profile; and don't like anything.
started playing new fantasy life very fun very excited very hype i have been waiting for this for years but so far one of the funniest bits is that the king of the past can smell that you’re unemployed and makes you get a job before he helps you, but you do have a job you’re an archaeologist assistant you are presently doing your job by talking to this king of the past but no it’s not one of the 12 jobs bestowed by the guild office so you have to forsake your thirst for knowledge and adventure and go pick up a fishing rod.
on “the blond,” “the older man,” and other crimes against third-person limited
You know that thing where a story is written in tight third person limited — we’re meant to be inside someone’s head, seeing the world through their thoughts — and then suddenly the narration says “the blond frowned” or “the shorter woman sighed” about a person the POV character knows really well?
That’s called antonomasia — using a descriptive label instead of a name. And it’s fine when we’re talking about strangers: “the cashier handed her the receipt,” “the tall guy blocked the door.” The POV character doesn’t know their names, and we just need a quick way to tell people apart.
But the moment it’s used for someone the POV character already knows, it breaks immersion. Because that’s not how our minds work. We don’t think “the older man smiled at me.” We think “Mark smiled.” Or maybe “my boss” if that relationship matters in the moment.
Third person limited means the narration sits inside someone’s perception. Their inner monologue is the story’s voice. So when you switch from “Mark smiled” to “the blond smiled,” you’ve pulled the camera away from their mind and turned it into an outside shot.
If you want to create distance or irritation, you can do it on purpose —
“The idiot from accounting emailed again.”
That’s character voice. That’s judgment. That works.
But otherwise?
As soon as your POV character knows someone’s name, use it. While we do tend to worry about repetitions, names rarely register as such to the readers.
If you need variety for rhythm, use relational or emotional identifiers that make sense in their head: her friend, his partner, their teacher, the person they loved.
Because inside someone’s thoughts, there are no “blonds” or “brunettes.”
While this site skin is in dark mode in these screenshots, I have included instructions to make a light mode. Or a purple mode. Or a yellow mode. Or whatever else you might want to do with it.

I'm bored, so I've decided to pull a Tumblr and talk about one of the asoiaf OCs I made just for fun.
Since I can't draw original stuff for shit, I've simply made her in CK3 and used the template made by slccpylady to give her that asoiaf wiki page look.
Welcome, Lady Vaelyn Be'Eros. Born in 180 AC, she was a very energetic type of person, very reminiscent of the founder of the Be'Eros family, who is rumored to have been a bastard of a certain Valyrian woman and a wanderer. Growing up, her family quickly realized her inhuman strength, which was a rare trait that showed itself every few generations in their family.
Her growing strength became a fascination to the young Vaelyn, who would take every opportunity to show off. Incidentally, this would cause her to develop a habit of fighting and a particular love for fighting tough/skilled individuals. This itself was no real issue to the Be'Eros family since they were closer to Dornishmen than Rivermen in culture, so they had no issue with her habit of being a Mystery Knight at many a tourney.
It would only become an issue once the First Blackfyre Rebellion happened.
While her Father and Elder Brother, Douglas, fought alongside the Targaryens...she would choose the Blackfyres. Her drive for a challenge would drive her to side with the Rebels in the belief that it would be a harder fight. It was not, as Quentyn "Fireball" Ball proved to be a great commander for the Blackfyres. This, in turn, made the young Vaelyn's attitude sour toward the Blackfyres.
"Thankfully," Vaelyn wasn't one to skulk about (sans her tendency to be a Mystery Knight), so she didn't betray them during battle. Instead, she saved Fireball from a random archer's arrow when he stopped for a drink. She saw this act as both an indication she should leave and as one final favor to the Rebels. She would leave Fireball without even waiting for a "thank you" or anything else, as she simply left the camp without a word and went to join her family on the Targaryen side, disappointed.
The Battle of the Redgrass Field would go much the same, just with Vaelyn slaying Ser Quentyn Ball.
Her actions during the Rebellion would stain her reputation with both Loyalists and Rebels. Despite this, she would get off better than most, receiving little more than a slap on the wrist (as well as some payments of various means from her Lord Father to the Throne), and thanks to her Elder Brother's actions during the Rebellion, he would be taken out of the line of succession. So years later, Vaelyn merely remembers this time as a "Great Disappointment."
Years later, her father, her younger Brother, Medaeus, and she would go to the Tourney at Ashford for Medaeus to compete & for Vaelyn to challenge wandering knights to duels for money. ...Vaelyn would end up participating in Ser Duncan's Trial by Seven. Though this was only through her pretending to be her father, who came as a spectator. Thankfully, the Lords of Be'Eros tend to have the same style of armor, so it was only a matter of never showing her face in front of others during the Trial. Though many would remark how "Hector" Be'Eros, a man in his fifties, was very strong & energetic during the Trial.
Obviously, this led to Baelor never taking place in the Trial.
Vaelyn would become Lady of Harrenhal during the Spring.
Years would pass with her participating as a Mystery Knight in many Tourneys, even throwing Tourneys where she blatantly participated (to many people's chagrin). Throughout her tenure as Lady of Harrenhal, she would take no husband, only keeping the company of Danelle Lothston.
She would be succeeded by her brother, Medaeus, when she finally got bored enough to retire in her fifties.
Her exact date of death is still undecided.
There are no plans for her to get a fanfic.
Tidbits:
Members of House Be'Eros tend to be born with blue hair, with their rare Strong members having partial or full silver hair.
House Be'Eros had been given Harrenhal sometime after House Qoherys went extinct and, through the years, restored it to its former glory.
