Today I realized that every screenshot I take has been getting saved to my computer in a folder that I didn’t know about. Lmfao, I have screenshots for days! If I have time this week I’ll make Minthara, but no guarantee of major activity until I complete an evil run with her, to see all sides of her personality

THE HARE HAS her paws tucked under her as her human counterpart falls into a rare, heavy sleep. he snores loudly for a moment before she nudges his arm, making him roll onto his side, silencing the sound. satisfied, she hops back to her usual post by his head, face turned toward the fire to warm her twitching nose.

" you can go ahead & sleep, " she says to their companion, " i can keep watch. "

Fingers of one hand press to her temple, the other hand idly laying in her lap as she picks at the hem of her pants up by her waist, she peers out into the night with laser focus, a small crease in her forehead as her eyes strain against the darkness. She is caught up in her piercing search through the shadows, and so nearly doesn’t register the hare coming to her side. Slowly, prying her eyes away, Mrs. Coulter regards the daemon somewhat shrewdly. Then, the crease relaxes, her expression softens just a bit, and she sighs. A shake of her head.

“No, no. I will stay up. Sleep eludes me anyway,” she says lowly, so as not to disturb Lee. “You should rest with him, keep him warm. I can keep watch.” The golden monkey chitters nearby, somewhere off in the dark picking at the bugs in the ground.

It’s not that I don’t have muse for Marisa anymore, it’s just hard to muster the energy for her attitude and personality, and do it the way I like it. Sorry to all still waiting on the things, this is a blog I’ll never abandon but will occasionally be very quiet on :/

[mrscoultxr]

Finished my redemption Durge playthrough in BG3, romancing Minthara, and yeaaaaaa probs gonna make a Minthara at some point when I have time. Drow mommy is love, drow mommy is life

[mrscoultxr]

To make a Minthara or to not make a Minthara…. That is the question

[kirjavas]

If anyone makes the slightest movement towards either of them the other moves at once to protect. They spend every second together—what are they going to do? What are they going to do?

HIS DARK MATERIALS Season 3 (2022)

[mrscoultxr]

Sooooo many porn bots followed me while I’ve been gone. Also, still absolutely brain rotted by Baldurs Gate 3 AND starting a dnd campaign. Sorry everyone for being so quiet. I lurk, and send things sometimes, but real life has just been very busy. I love you all!

[mrscoultxr]

I WANT TO SAY, IF YOU CAN BUY THE BOOKS, PLEASE DO SO! but otherwise.....

posting this here and hopefully nothing bad happens to me but here's the totally legal omnibus of His Dark Materials with navigateable chapter heads and the lantern slides for anyone who wants to read it

edit to add one thing: also, for anyone new here that doesn't know, I own an encyclopedia of His Dark Materials that includes up to the 10th anniversary editions. So if you ever have a question about lore, or witch clans, or locations, or food, or literally anything you can think of: I can search it for you.

Want to ship? Feel free to tell me straight off!

Yes, shipping does need chemistry between the two muses, but if you look at my muse and think ‘You know what, I’d like to ship my muse with theirs!’, feel free to tell me, even before we start threads!

I love having a direction/goal to work the characters towards – when I write fiction on my own, I like having goals and plot points, like romances, family and friend relationships, rivals and enemies.. why wouldn’t I like having the same with RP? RP is just collaborative fiction writing!

There’s no shame in liking ships, or even RPing for ships. There’s tons of people in the world who love to read romance novels, and no one tries to tell them that’s wrong or worse than liking mysteries, or fantasy adventure. Neither preference is wrong, it’s just that – a preference!

So please – if you want to ship, or work towards of ship, in any capacity : romance, family, friends, rivals, and everything in between – TELL ME! I’d love to see what we can come up with together!

I think the reason Mrs. Coulter is my favorite is because she’s not like other villains at all. At least, not the sort typical in children’s books. She never revels in evilness, never rubs it in the face of Lyra, never schemes openly or plots or monologues in any way. In fact, she says very little for a good portion of the second book.

And at least in book canon, my favorite canon, she never explains herself to Lyra. Not once! She’s not the one who reveals she’s Lyra’s mother. The tearing at Lyra’s daemon is done cooly and coldly, she barely pays attention to it. She doesn’t feel the need to apologize about the intercision. In fact, in the book her tone could be better described as “explaining difficult concepts to children”. She makes the idea of what’s happening good and light, like it’s the best thing that can happen. If I had the book in front of me I could point out that she calls having a severed daemon “the best friend in the world” or something like that.

All this to say she’s terrifying. She’s real. She’s a woman with secrets and skeletons in her closet and she’s fine with that. She doesn’t need to make a show of herself, doesn’t need to explain anything! She is simply on her own path to success, to her goals and dreams of power in a man’s world.

This is why she was able to convince a literal Angel of how treacherous she was. She didn’t flaunt it. It was all just a core part of her being. Her ambition led to terrible things, and she knew that was all he would see. An ambition so terrible she would do anything, heinous or not, to succeed.
