I’m starting to regret not telling Florian that Ned showed me the photo he was in.

I love him so much.

How could I lie to the love of my life?

😭

What if he actually needed that information to carry out his evil plans?

I should have supported him with that.

I read that if I exposed Ned, Florian would’ve been surprised. So basically, my boy suspects absolutely nothing. And now I’m like—what if that ends up hurting my beloved Count Dracula?

And now I can’t undo that decision. 😭

The only option I have left is to make another account and start the whole thing over from the beginning.

I think that’s the right choice.

I could call myself Draculaura.

Or Carmilla. Like the vampire novel.

It’s from 1872, so I think that reference would be more familiar to him.

Am I exaggerating? I don’t think so.

I mean, I almost had a heart attack when I realized it in the library—but that was completely justified.

I don't know if I'll ever elaborate on this, but… aren't Fitz in the Tawny Man trilogy (you know, Tom Badgerlock, Lord Golden’s servant) and Carson from Rain Wild Chronicles kind of the same person?

I mean, yes, Carson has more will to live than Fitz, but the weird thing would be finding someone with the same will to live as Fitz.

I’m supposedly studying. But I picked up my phone for one second (I lied sincerely) to watch some ROTE memes from my TikTok collection. Because I thought past-me had saved a lot of ROTE memes there, but nooo — past-me only saved a few memes and a lot of very emotional edits.

Now I need to take my ROTE books, open them to random pages, and start reading whatever I find. Or maybe open AO3 and read a random chapter of Of Cats and Closed Doors. And this is exactly why I should be studying in the library.

The other option is to continue the Fitz and the Fool cross-stitch project. As you can see i'm finishing Fitz's face, you can already tell where his nose, his eye and a bit of his mouth will be. I can't wait to finish this part and see his "Who did this to you?" face.

I can’t believe I forgot to show this: my Amber-inspired vest. I think I made it in the summer of 2024, and then it got lost in my “maybe-not-finished sewing projects” box until last summer, when I finally embroidered it.

I say it’s Amber-inspired, and not liveship-inspired, because the dragons are on the back for a reason (the reason is that I like to suffer), and also because of the green detail along the edge of the vest. That part is an Amber quote embroidered in tendrils script.

It could definitely be better, since it was my first time embroidering tendrils script and I didn’t practice beforehand — because the only patience I know is Fitz’s mother, so yes, it could have been worse.

The quote is:

One can love that way, but the price on that kind of love may be the highest of all. To love another person like that, you have to admit that his life is as important as yours. Harder still, you have to admit to yourself that perhaps he has needs that you cannot fil, and you have tasks that will take you far away from him. It cost loneliness and longing and doubt and—

It’s been a long time since my last post, but I wanted to share this cross-stitch project I’m working on, is one of the pictures from Royal Assassin, the one one with Fitz and the Fool, my favourite. I was going to call it new, but honestly I think I started it back in October.

I’m not exactly a focused person, so I’ve been jumping between different things, sewing, crocheting, and cross-stitching. That’s actually why I’m posting this — maybe if I show what I’ve done so far, I’ll actually finish it… someday.

Also, have you seen my precious babies? The illustrated edition of The Farseer Trilogy. The first and second were birthday presents (different years), and the last one was a gift from the Three Wise Men.

THEY LOOK SO PRETTY ALL TOGETHER!!! ♥️♥️♥️

The last image is the book illustration that might one day become a cross-stitch piece.

But first, I’m starting a project that occurred to me this morning and that I absolutely need to do, cross-stitching the covers of the first two Captive Prince books (the french and spanish covers).

Almost first attempt at cross stitching

If you squint your eyes and use your imagination (like, all of it), you can see Small Ferret (Realm of the Elderlings) with a ferret-sized sword, right before the end of his very important mission. I thought this moment — and this great Hero — deserved to be immortalized.
