I have days when I really just hate living in this world. Not in an "I plan on leaving it ASAP" way, just in a "for fuck's sake, IS THIS WORLD SERIOUS?!" way. Like, how can this world make it so difficult to find a half-decent lute for a half-decent price? I know people seem to prefer the likes of Geralt and Yennefer, but bards like myself certainly have a place in the media of this world, and often with lutes! Honestly, I'm within one more straw of becoming a luthier myself just so I can have a lute of my very own. But then I suppose I'd have to find one who knows how to make them and who's willing to have an apprentice who very specifically wants to learn how to make an instrument that apparently most modern luthiers don't make (at least not commercially in my area, I've looked several times), despite still being called LUTHIERS, from the French luth meaning LUTE! This world can go fuck itself right now. It's not even funny, so much was taken from me, and now I can't even get one of the most important parts back? I was offered some tiny 3-course monstrosity in good faith but it felt like an insult. I need a lute, and I can't even tell most people why.
