3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

i really love all the stuff about the impulse and the hand from the second chapter of embodiment (the magnus archives & counter/weight crossover) but i think the best passage from it is this:

Now. Let me ask you something. What does change look like?

There are two answers. The first is an earthquake. It rips the world apart between one second and the next. I could’ve been the earthquake at any point. I could’ve gone in a year after the war and ripped Apostolos asunder. But there was something tethering me to Slighter, something that kept me bound tight until I was ready to return home.

Because there is a second answer: erosion. And that’s slow. That rips mountains down, grain by grain by grain of sand. That’s how a drop becomes a puddle becomes a lake becomes an ocean. That’s thinking things should be different, should be better, can be better, I can make them better.

An earthquake is a disaster. But an earthquake under a reservoir? An earthquake underneath ground that’s eroded away, an earthquake that causes a flood? That’s a cataclysm. That’s a world washed clean. With any luck I’ll be remembered as the flood, but when have I ever been lucky?

4. total number of words you wrote this year

{ AU HC’s ! }

- Shuichi would love to learn how to make different recipes!! Because a lot of foods can have medical benefits and stuff, similar to an RPG game ! I like to imagine he has a small section in a journal for different recipes he’s learned about along the way on his adventures and stuff. And when he’s around an area or place with a pot to cook the things in; he’ll try creating new recipes ~

- Since he’s visited so many different lands: Shuichi’s met and befriended of many varieties! Think of like… Zoras, Gorans, Gerudo, etc. from Zelda and stuff. He always tries to be very polite and respectful when visiting a domain ruled by non-humans, especially if they may normally not be that trustful towards humans, you know? He loves to befriend literally all different kinds of people, as it can make for memorable experiences and interesting stories to tell about!

- Forests and lakes are some of Shuichi’s favorite kind of scenery and areas to explore through. Sometimes just likes… to slowly walk through a forest with his horse, Mea, or relaxing by a spring with her! Relaxing places like that can help him unwind, especially if he’s tuckered out from any fights he had to do along the way.

- Shuichi is far more selfless as an archer, who would even take a big hit for a stranger. Not that he doesn’t care to look out for himself, but Shuichi is very much more of a protector and many times, has done so. This especially applies for Mea: he’d never want to let her get hurt if he can prevent it, and will not be above piercing you with arrows if you ever try hurting his horse.

- Outfit wiseee, he’d wear a white tunic shirt over a long-sleeved green shirt, with a short green hooded cape he primarily uses to shield his head from certain weather like the rain, a belt around his waist, brown tunic pants and boots, and ofc other things like his bow and arrows, pouches to carry stuff, yada yada. It’s pretty much what most other males from his village wear, save for the extra stuff.
