you changed your tag line!! (I like it)

Hee, I like it too!

I've been thinking about it for a while and decided to make the change to 'heavy hurt, heavy comfort' since it suits me as an author, and it also makes it obvious to folks from fandom that I'm definitely squarely in the hurt/comfort genre, so that works well for me. :D

I can't believe it though, I've had the same tagline for like 10 years! So I guess it was definitely time for a change!

hi! I saw the art for your extra mutated geralt AU, have you written any fic for that? and if so, where may I find it?

but if you haven't, thank u for the art, its lovely!

i have written some fic but not yet posted it, but hopefully i can sooner rather than later! for now here is an excerpt featuring baby geralt

He wakes up to pain, first and foremost. It encircles every limb, every finger, every nerve ending and drowns out any other sense. He doesn’t know how long he lays there, awake but unaware of anything that is not deep, all encompassing hurt.

Hours, maybe even days pass, and then he finally, finally has the strength to slowly open a single eye.

A mistake.

Light floods in and his other senses seem to come alive with it. His heartbeat beats mercilessly in his chest, a singularly voiced cacophony. The smell of decay and rot and fear chokes him. His lips, open in an effort to gasp in any air that doesn’t taste like dying children, are brittle and cracked. He is overwhelmed by a dire thirst, and a hunger that brings new pain and nausea.

He turns with strength that he doesn’t have and retches onto the ground below him, bile sitting uncomfortably in his mouth. He cannot summon the energy to spit it out.

“He’s awake.” The slimy voice of the mage that had strapped him to the table however long ago slithers into his ears. The sound of footsteps, shuffling past thick robes, grows louder as the mage approaches. “Congratulations, little witcher. I honestly didn’t know if you would live to see another morning,” he muses, oily. The little witcher is suddenly reminded of the illustrations of rot-fiends he and the other trainees had studied. A single hit ,and this mage would be reduced to an self-destructive explosion of poisonous carcass and sludge.

Okay so, I hate mashed potatoes.

Like I really hate them. I’ve never had a kind I’ve ever liked. Homemade, packet, with cheese, with butter, (these two make sense because I don’t really like cheese except in special circumstances and I don’t really like butter either), with herbs, totally smooth, still a bit crumbly, dry or wet. I HATE THEM SO MUCH.

And everyone generally reacts with horror when I tell them that but honestly my life is so much better now that I’m an adult and never need to eat them again.

I also don’t like baked potatoes.

I only really like potatoes in chip form, lmao.

Stealing what someone else asked Veliseraptor: what are your top five favourite teas? :)

Also a shout out to @therem-harth who also asked me this!

1. Ti Guan Yin. There are different kinds, but generally speaking I like all of them, and life is improved when I have it in my life.

2. Any kind of good jasmine tea. I used to have a lovely white tea / jasmine blend, but also just like, the cheap jasmine tea at dim sum is great too.

3. Any olive / spearmint / green blend. I didn’t think I’d like this the first time I tried it, but ever since it’s like a mandatory feature in my collection of teas (of which there are currently 30 loose leaf teas). I buy larger amounts, and I have to replace it more often than the rest.

4. Yellow Mt. Mao Feng. A good Mao Feng is really delightfully complex, through multiple steepings. Even thinking about it makes me want another cup, lol.

5. For blended teas, probably also the black Stockholm blend. It’s a floral/fruit tea with orange peel, apricot, safflower, calendula and rose.

I really like good pu-erh and overall will look for green, oolong, white and yellow teas over black. I used to be a huge fan of Earl Grey, but over time went off it, I think because the bergamot oil used to flavour it set of my reflux worse than other teas (though all teas do it, so I have to be careful how/when I drink it). I really don’t like matcha, the one exception being a matcha tiramisu dessert I had once where the blend just worked, for some reason. :D

From the Top 5 meme!
