Okay, so, for unrelated episode 30 reasons, I need an animatic of the Pridesire brothers to Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons. I simply feel our dear Teor and Cyd deserve some love. No other reason.
Welcome to Rockfall Guide Hall, a hidden sanctuary in the winding mountains and the home base of the Stone Guard, who patrol the roads through the mountain range, doing everything from rockslide search and rescues to bandit security to escort missions. https://modular.czepeku.com/demo/share/kgxettq6od
There's a project on Kickstarter by a group called Czepeku that are working on creating the program I used to make this little map. Go give the demo version a try or become a backer if you've got some spare cash. Link to the funding campaign is below:
Design buildings your party will love, loot, or accidentally burn down—with gorgeous hand-drawn map tiles by Czepeku!
They're running a contest for the backers through the demo at the moment to have your creation as a pre-set build, and this is my entry.
So like, just watched that episode (69, nice) and... wow. Percy's 'in case I die letter'? As a writer myself it was stunning.
So I decided to write down the letter in a Word document. (Edit: I later realised there was a transcript on the literal transcript site. I am an idiot who made things more difficult for myself.)
Fun fact: Times New Roman, font size 12 and the letter is exactly one page, with the appropriate paragraph breaks.
Below is the letter, so yeah, enjoy and use it to your little fanfic-y heart's content.
My friends,
I have just taken an audience with the Raven Queen who has snuffed any hope of my redemption, for which I am truly grateful. With new clarity, I can finally see my life as a series of compounding, poor choices.
There was nothing I could’ve done to save my family, yet I still sold my soul in search of vengeance. Later I allowed Ripley to leave, knowing full well she was a greater threat to the world than the Briarwoods would ever be. I traded the world’s safety for the belief that I could murder my way to peace; that if I could be a greater horror, it would bring my family back. And once this lie was shattered I scrambled to find a solution, to make a deal, to undo my mistakes and balance the scales. I now understand that there are no scales, there is no redemption, and no ledger that judges me good or evil. I am free to simply be myself and live with the terrible mistakes I’ve made.
Tomorrow I start upon a new path beyond the gods and demons who have tormented me, and it’s your friendship that makes this possible. Though a shadow lingers, the need for vengeance is gone. I will try and do my best for you all. I will strive to buy the future more time, free of my legacy. I will stand against the children of my madness in hope, rather than in anger. And if you are reading this, then my travels on this path have come to an end.
Scanlan, thank you for destroying my gun. Do not let the weight of life’s consequences crush your bravado, it is your greatest weapon.
Grog, remember that your compassion has brought you this far, not just strength. For the record, I would’ve wiped the floor with you that time.
Vax, you often remind me of myself and yes, I know that is a bit of an insult. Stop indulging your desire to sacrifice, and try being the man these two women seem to think you are. They may actually need you one day.
Vex, you often remind me of myself and that is the highest of compliments. I hope you free yourself of whatever voices haunt you. Also since I’m gone, you’re the clever one now.
Keyleth, don’t let the world break you. Learn to forgive it for not living up to your standards.
Pike, it is wonderful to have you home. You bring everyone closer to their best selves, and I can only imagine what a burden that must be. Allow yourself some vice and failure, we’ll still love you just the same.
As to what must be done, I’d be content to be left in a ditch, my weapons and notes burnt and broken. But I imagine that would upset Cass. If you can, take me home. If you can’t, I understand. She knows where to find the rest of my instructions. Times being what they are, burn my work or bring it home in the hopes of aiding in the defence of Whitestone. I leave this judgment in your capable hands. Please find Ripley before she does too many terrible things, and erase my legacy wherever you find it. That silence would be the greatest eulogy I could ever hope for.
Because I live to cause others pain today, how do you think Boromir would have reacted to how humans hunted the hobbits to extinction? Like damn, can you imagine ghost Boromir just sitting in the burning ruins of the Shire, watching his people slaughter the descendants of his "Little Ones"?
This is a completely random thought but I really want Peter Sutherland from The Night Agent to meet Jack Reacher from Reacher. This crossover, in my opinion, would just be interesting. How would they work together? Would they hate each other? Would they be friends? I'm not a good enough writer to do anything about this idea but by god I will comb the sites for a crossover.
bad decision brain is telling me to drink a Red Bull, that, mind you, is only in my fridge because I apparently completed a survey for my accommodations and was selected for a prize
I have never had Red Bull before. It has caffeine.
And the thing is, I react badly to caffeine. Not in a headache kind of way but a throwing up for three days, migraine, no sleep, heart-attack kind of way.
And that was from like four sips of a friends Monster energy drink
They were all involved with one Scott Smajor. Grian, our darling sun, was allies with him. The second was Scott himself, our stars of victory. The third was Scott's soulmate, our moon Pearl. The fourth was Scott's teammate, Martin of mars.
Now I may just be grasping at straws here and this may just be due to the small population of these games but
I might be on to something here.
So if you ask me who I think will win Secret Life? I reckon impulse needs a crown.
And I reckon The Herald might just help him get it.
