was skimming over my doc for notes on why i chose fic ocs' names and i forgot how often my reasoning was "this is a dumb joke" 😭

[animusmage]

for anyone wondering the reason i have not posted any writing in *checks* well over half a year now besides being sick for a good chunk of that time is that i have written thousands of words for shit i will never post and have barely made any progress on the stuff i do intend to post

[animusmage]

getting back to seriously writing for the first time in months is fun lol

“The last dragon,” Ser Jorah’s voice whispered faintly. “The last, the last.”

Dany lifted his polished black visor. The face within was her own.

what I love about robert’s rebellion as an event is that it’s so absurdly lyrical and poetic… there’s the trident, lyanna in her tower of joy and the mad king cackling on his evil throne, whispering to his mages about wildfire. these are all events that took place a decade and a half before the start of our story and everyone remembers them but the poetry has swallowed the fact. it’s all blurred in pretty prose. robert and rhaegar aren’t real people. they can’t be. they are literary foils even for the characters! which is why ned waxing lyrics about robert’s youthful body actually sort of makes sense. it goes with jaime’s last wistful memory of rhaegar and barristan’s melancholy for the “last dragon”. robert and rhaegar are Characters even in the eyes of those who actually knew them. it’s so cool

dorne & house martell week: day 5 - favorite quote | ellaria sand’s rebuke of revenge

Oberyn wanted vengeance for Elia. Now the three of you want vengeance for him. I have four daughters, I remind you. Your sisters. My Elia is fourteen, almost a woman. Obella is twelve, on the brink of maidenhood. They worship you, as Dorea and Loreza worship them. If you should die, must El and Obella seek vengeance for you, then Dorea and Loree for them? Is that how it goes, round and round forever? I ask again, where does it end? I saw your father die. Here is his killer. Can I take a skull to bed with me, to give me comfort in the night? Will it make me laugh, write me songs, care for me when I am old and sick?

finally exploring the depths, glad to see there's actually a way to light it up lol. i wonder if it's possible to completely light it up with enough exploration or if some parts will just always be dark?

tears of the kingdom status update: took a few hours to get out of the tutorial area bc i took the, uh, scenic route through it and once i was down on the ground i talked to purah, immediately set about exploring the surrounding area, and apparently managed to completely miss the paraglider bc i immediately ditched the main quest to go exploring

easiest way to deal with chapter 5 is to refuse to engage with it properly
