[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

i just caught up with my comments over on ao3 and this literally me right now

[broodwoof]

Omg I missed the post about it being your birthday!!!

Happy belated birthday! I hope you are well and that you continue to be such a bright presence in the space.

Honestly I love veilguard. Nothing can take that game from my hands. It Brough me so much creativity and joy like I have not felt in months.

I love that rook is like that. I love that the Veilguard feels like a family. I love that the game is about regrets and them not stopping you from moving forward. I love that the game has so many important topics in it and that they are woven together with the companions' story lines. I love that the community around it is literally so kind and so connected.

And I really love that Veilguard got me to people like you and the rest of the thedasweekend people :)

bear.... 🥺🥺🥺 and if i cry!!! what then!!!!

seriously though, wow, this is so touching, thank you 🥺 honestly, this is my first time being this involved in a fandom! with da2 and dai, i was pretty peripheral and stayed there on purpose. it was intimidating! i'd just write my little things and talk with a few friends and that was it - which was ofc incredibly rewarding on its own! - but being this involved has been... such a different experience. and i'm so, so glad i took the plunge, bc i got to meet so many really wonderful people who have deeply, genuinely enriched my life 🥺 like you!!! thank you for always being so kind 💖💖💖

even if i WASN'T as desperately into veilguard as i am (lol. lmao even) i'd still have nothing but appreciation for this game for bringing me into this fandom space...

okay, that's my sap for the day (he says, lying,) but!!! you are SO right about everything!!! veilguard's themes of regrets is so, so important, both generally and to me personally; i think that this game has the capacity to help a lot of people grapple with their own regrets (it's helping me deal with mine!), and that is such an important thing. and the way it is so interwoven, the way it relates to the companion arcs, the way it is all one tight, neat narrative package which still offers so much individualized depth... seriously, i admire the writing of this game so incredibly much. i aspire to its elegance and connectivity of storytelling

the community is amazing 😭 truly!

Harrow's Holiday Cheer Event 🎁

hello, friends! 🥳 i am excited to announce that i have reached 2k followers!!!

since my semester is winding down to an end and i have been having some troubles with writing lately, i thought that doing a little excerpt/drabble event might be a fun way to get the creative juices flowing, so here is what i have in mind...please read all the rules before joining in on the fun!

❗❗❗ SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED ❗❗❗

Rules & Guidelines:

there are two levels of participation to this event:

anons & blank profiles can only get sfw excerpts

folks with age or age range listed clearly on their profile can get nsfw excerpts & drabbles

this means you can either have an exact birthday ("21") listed or you can have a range/year that you are born in ("80s baby" "in my 30s" "94 liner" etc.) this is because i do not give smut to minors, nor do i encourage it, and i need to be able to see that you are at least 18+. this also has to be clearly listed in the open; i am not going to dig thru 'about me' and 'faq' posts/pages to find anyone's age.

anyone under 18 with their age listed will be blocked because i do not want minors interacting with me at all.

how to participate:

pick a prompt from this smutty prompt list

pick a character of mine or let me choose by telling me whether you want any member x member or any member x reader

send me a little dm with your choices

crossover pairings are allowed! want a certain character from one fic and a certain character/reader from another? let's do it!!!

if there is a particular scene that comes to mind with the prompt, you may tell me what it is, but i may be less likely to build of an existing scene that create a new one.

and if you would like me to put some kind of holiday spin on it, i can try, depending on how inspired i am to do so. i'm kind of a scrooge when it comes to the holidays, but feel free to ask for it!

more guidelines & disclaimer:

all of my past characters are acceptable, unless it is for a fic that i have orphaned. a short list of orphaned fics can be found at the bottom of my master list.

please only submit once! if the event is slow, i may call for more people to join, and at that point you can submit another.

i reserve the right to deny any request, or to only fulfill as many as i have time for. should i receive more than i can fulfill during this event, i will save them in my inbox for future events!

depending on how inspired i am by each request, i may write just a couple lines of dialogue or i may write a full on drabble.

depending on how many requests i receive, i may continue to write these into the new year. i have no end date planned, just vibes, so i will make an announcement in the future when things begin to wind down!

these rules and guidelines are subject to change or be modified. i will reblog with any and all updates if they come.

if you have any questions at all, shoot me a message!!!

thank you again so much for following me!!! 🎈 🥳💜💐🥺✨😍💖🎉🤸‍♀️🌷

this little community we have built means the world to me, and i am so thrilled to have such lovely readers, and to be making so many really amazing friends!!! the irl connections i have formed through this fandom and through writing have been wonderful, and i really, truly cannot put into words how much everyone means to me!!! 💜💜💜 thank you for being here!!!

if you would like to gas me up by sharing how we met, or sharing any memories or whatever, i would be excited about it, but no pressureeee!!!!! 😍🥳🥰 i love you!!! drink some water and stretch your neck!!!

p.s. shout out to @sailoryooons for coming up with the name hehehe. 💜

hello my friend alice the druid :3 i loved my last reading and im here for another one!!! thank you again 💖 i would like to know if there's anything i should know about my source of income right now

yaaay yaaaay hello my dear friend cinna. 🥺💕 thank you so much for commissioning me. i'm very happy to share my insight with you today! 🍃🦋

your tarot reading:

what does cinna's source of income situation look like right now?

2 of Cups -- something profound is occurring. it looks like your current trajectory holds the opportunity for a business partnership or people who truly touche(s) your soul and makes you feel fulfilled. you may already have the resources and/or connections for it, or it may be on the way. whatever the case, be on the lookout for opportunities and situations where you can find someone or more than one someone who truly speaks to you as a human being.

The Fool -- this Major Arcana card suggests the theme of this reading. new beginnings are on the horizon, and it may be time to dive off the cliff into the ocean below. you may be scared to take that leap. you may be battered by the winds a bit as you dive. breaching the surface of the waters might be rough, too. but you may find that what you discover below the surface is a teaming coral reef full of colour and vivacity, crystal clear waters showing you your chosen path with iridescent light and magic. wonders await, but you'll need to put in the effort. you'll need to take a leap of faith. you can have courage, because this brand new beginning has the potential to make all your dreams come true.

10 of Wands -- your current situation appears to be really heavy. this is a card of responsibilities and burdens, but also of being so close to the finish line. you can ask for help, you know! sometimes it's hard to because we have always been rejected or our needs have been unmet when we do ask. but you need to know that not everyone will turn you away, and no one is a mind-reader. you need to communicate your needs! and you need to prioritise them yourself as well. it can be difficult when you're used to prioritising everyone else but please know you deserve to have your psychological, physical material and spiritual needs met just as much as anyone else. you deserve the good in the world. you deserve to find a source of income that doesn't just provide for your needs, but also for your desires. so you can ask for help, you can delete unnecessary tasks, you can put yourself first.

Knight of Pentacles in reverse -- this card delivers the idea that you may be stagnating right now, or perhaps focusing solely on wealth. you may be preoccupied, distracted, deprioritizing what's important. your soul or heart has a measure of health just as much as your mind and body. remember to nurture it with steady care to lay the foundations of your life. remember that by living by being true to what you want to be, do and are is so important for the wellbeing of your soul. only you can decide where to go from here, only you can decide what your soul needs for it to be healthy, but remember that by being creative you will find enrichment of all kinds in life. and with this success, wealth will pour in naturally.

your oracle reading:

what does cinna need to know right now regarding its source of income?

Bear Spirit for healing -- as you wander the winter wonderland forest, you come face to face with a bear. it reaches out and touches its nose to yours. it looks at you with gentleness, warmth and love. you feel safe. you feel comforted. you feel whole. this spirit is letting you know that profound healing is underway. you're healing right now, and you're going to heal, too. by progressing down whichever path you choose regarding your income, you will find yourself and you will connect with people and you will heal yourself. you will heal what has been broken regarding your material wealth.

Pine Spirit for purification -- it's still winter as you wander, and you brush up against a pine tree, displacing some snow. you find that the touch makes you feel an internal shift. you hear a soft giggle of delight from the spirit as you find that you're feeling cleansed from head to toe, like a renewal of spirit, mind and body. pine is an antiseptic and antibacterial substance, and is used in many rituals and ceremonies in indigenous cultures across the globe. this spirit is reminding you to take the time to practice extreme self-care. try to clutter-clear your home, take long showers or baths, eat well, and empty your mind by journalling or talking to a friend or allowing yourself to cry. maybe even make yourself experience catharsis by watching media! you will find that the more you do these things (the more you take care of yourself), the more comfortable and at peace you will feel, no matter the circumstances. this card could also be an indication of the process of finding your source of income purifying you, and allowing you to get in touch with your true self.

Pegasus for transcending -- as you come across a clearing in the snow, a Pegasus stands before you. he waits for you to climb onto his back, and then takes off into the skies with you. you soar above the forest, looking out across the snow-covered trees and fields. you find that all your doubts and hesitation are all falling away, and you find that you can see everything from up here. Pegasus indicates that it may be time to take a more transcendental perspective. it may be time to ease back on the material aspect of gaining wealth, and focus on your goals, dreams and aspirations. what makes you feel fulfilled to do, and how can you take baby steps to get there? what do you really want to do with your life? what do you want to accomplish? why? ask yourself these questions and more, and really reflect on them. perhaps what you need isn't just a new job, or lots of money, but a whole change of perspective. perhaps you need to get to the core of what's important to you and try to achieve something for yourself going forward. (which isn't to say you haven't achieved anything already.) in this economical climate chasing your dreams, being creative and finding fulfillment are some of the greatest challenges of all, but even if the chances are unlikely, the possibility is still not zero that you can accomplish them. so trust in your heart. trust in yourself. trust in whatever it is you believe in. you will find your way.

thank you for reading cinna! i hope this serves you well. 💕🍃🦋✨
