A heartbreaking (well, at least for me) thing we learn in Act 2 from the banter between Halsin and Wyll:

Halsin used to have a drinking problem after the shadow curse.

Halsin: The scent of hops and barley is most persistent here, even after all this time. Wyll: Enough to make me thirsty, even. I've always preferred wine to whiskey and ale, but I certainly wouldn't turn away a full flagon right about now. Halsin: After the shadow curse, I became overly fond of honey mead and melancholy evenings by myself. Now I rarely imbibe - only on the most special of occasions. Wyll: I say we put an end to your dry spell. Once Ketheric falls, the first round's on me.

I know, I know, he is an independent, experienced, powerful Archdruid, but even the strongest ones need support, love, and hugs to sustain their strength.

I think one thing it's important to note is the difference between Halsin's ordeal with leadership at the Grove and the role he takes at the commune at the end.

When he is forced to take over at the Grove, it's just that: something forced on him, and while he's dealing with the trauma from losing his mentor, whose position he is forced to take over. No one helped prepare him for the role, and he doesn't seem to be getting help once in it either. He repeatedly refers to this as an isolating experience, with his peers "replaced by the weight of responsibility." He loses a sense of community by being forced to lead, and further, he fears (during act 3) that the time he spent in the position cost him his chance to start his own family. It's also important to note that Druids practice a fairly authoritative style of leadership; this is shown more in previous DND editions, but we get glimpses of it here too.

While we don't see as much of his leadership at the commune, Halsin alludes several times to it being a mutual effort. He mentions others giving input as well, and there being friction (such as due to different personalities and cultures) that they work through together. Which means conflict resolution doesn't fall solely on him (another sore point he cited at the Grove). He mentions feeling a greater sense of balance. And yes, the children are important to him as well because he gains family and community here, instead of feeling like he can only be a leader; he clearly feels this group are much more like peers he can mutually rely on, if sometimes guiding, as opposed to the Grove where he wasn't allowed to be vulnerable. Here, he's practicing the leadership that's more in the sense of being a trusted and respected elder than being the sole authority. Those two are very distinct, and the difference is clearly what makes one something that made Halsin miserable, and the other something that brings him healing.

In fact, you can even get hints of this before the epilogue; when he laments that he feels he failed the Grove after getting Francesca's letter, you can tell him it's okay to not be cut out for leadership, which he agrees with, but laments that he wants to pass on all the knowledge he's gained in his life on to someone. The Druids at his Grove weren't open to it (for whatever reason), whereas those at the commune actually want to hear it.

I know it sounds odd that after hating leading the Grove so much and learning that he's allowed to exist without a purpose, his happy ending involves him being a leader again, but the difference between a leader as in an authority and a leader as in a trusted elder is the crucial difference, I think. He's not "Master Halsin" here, he's "Daddy Halsin," the wise old bear who gets to play with the little ones and give input to people who are wounded but healing like himself. He may lead them, but he's still their equal- their friend and family.

Behaving like a brat to Karlach, Karlach punishes Halsin by putting him over her knee to spank him, while asking him if he’s going to be a good boy for her before landing a hand on his arse.

After 20 spankings, Karlach rewards Halsin when he swears he’s going to be a good boy, by giving him a proper f*cking for being good.

The tiefling busy pounding Halsin’s pussy, making him cling to the bed for dear life.

I am Falestine, Jad Al-Haq, I am 37 years old, married, and I have a eight-month-old child named Youssef. I gave birth to him during the war during very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital immediately after giving birth to the tent in which we were staying after we were displaced to it after the Israeli bulldozers completely bulldozed my house. and my suffering did not start from here. Rather, it began since the beginning of the war, and I am still suffering. I cannot provide enough milk for my baby or diapers. Even medicines and vitamins are not available.

I ask you for your urgent help in disseminating the link to my family and communicating it to people interested and able to help us.  I didn't want to do it, but the tragic situation we are living in is what pushed me to do it.  I feel sad and helpless, after we had everything, we are now homeless on the streets, living in a tent next to a dilapidated public toilet and there is sewage, dirt and waste everywhere, we sleep on it!  We suffer from terrible heat, insects, scorpions, the danger of death, bombs and missiles, in addition to hunger of course, the danger of pollution and terrible diseases, especially the digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems!

.  My father and mother could not bear it any longer. My father had a stroke after losing his home and his place of work, and my mother suffers from chronic diseases and needs treatment.

  Do you have the right to imagine that when you spend your life building for yourself and your children to live a decent life, all of this disappears in the blink of an eye, and now when you reach the age where you should rest, you are forced to start again!!?  But the most important thing now is to try to survive and protect your children from all the factors of death that surround us!  I ask everyone who has humanity or conscience to feel our situation and put themselves in our place.  How can someone who has lived with dignity all his life accept this?  We are slowly dying every day.

Your donation, no matter how small, can have a big impact.  It can provide a meal for my little one, a clean bottle of water, or a moment of safety under these difficult circumstances.  Every donation brings with it a ray of hope, alleviating our suffering and giving us the strength to face a new day.

I ask you to donate and support the steadfastness of the Gazan people, and share this campaign with your friends and families.  Together, we can make a difference and help my family get through this ordeal.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support.

Warm greetings,

Falestine

Random thought of a tribute to Queen concert in two parts.

1. The artists that were chosen for the tribute concert singing their songs from their albums.

2. With Brian & Roger singing the songs written by Queen

Why am I already thinking of breeding/impregnating Papa V Perpetua?

[midnightostara]

Just checked on some houses on the Realtor site.

There’s one house that I took interest in that would be a 18 hr drive to my work, I already had some ideas of where to put things since I looked into a 4 bedroom house with basement.

But I checked again but saw that it was already in contingent.

I wish I could own a house just to call it my own.

its so fucked that not only did they erase our languages and beat and kill our people for using them but they stole the words of important tribes and important people and used them for the military and for trees and for food and for summer camps. average native american name is seen by non ntvs as a joke or something to use or consume, not a human being

i love raphael so much actually. he's the son of one of the rulers of hell. he hates his dad. he's a bard. he practices his fancy speeches out in public. he plays chess with children. he can transform into a three-headed fire creature. he likes cats. he's tortured people to madness. he only ever wants to have sex with someone in his own image. he does body shots. he's a devil from hell with 666 hit points. he's a pillow prince. he eats souls. he's canonically coming to our universe if he ever gets the crown of karsus. he's the hardest boss in the game. he shits in a bucket that's sat out in public and has an entire guy dedicated to sniffing it.
