Yes hi hello. Chapter 64 is up. I worked very hard on it and am trying not to hate how it turned out.

[moonmaiden86]

Oh.

Uhhh.... Slay?

[moonmaiden86]

We got a full submersible!! Recused everyone from the Iron Throne 😮‍💨

[moonmaiden86]

I feel like the fucking princess and the pea. I’m trying so hard to just get comfortable in bed and nearly had a meltdown because my shirt sleeve got rolled up under my pillow and I experienced A Sensation.

The bastard’s really gone. Thank god for photomode so we can finally get this boy the comfort he needs.

[moonmaiden86]

What comes next?

[moonmaiden86]

Sometimes I think about the other spawn watching Astarion absolutely wreck Cazador with the same knife he used to carve into them all, and I have to go lie in a dark room for a while.

Jaheira and Halsin strategically cast Grasping Vine during the battle for the aesthetic of this cut scene.

I take my job as Tav very seriously. 😤

(Playthrough with my partner and sisters. My Tav’s name is Tav and she’s a remake of my first honor mode Tav.)

[moonmaiden86]

Astarion and Talishire both look so traumatized! Not to worry though, Tali cat has 300 ft of movement and got him off the ritual circle IMMEDIATELY.

[moonmaiden86]

The fight started off so well, then Cazador had to go be a little shit.

[moonmaiden86]

It’s always been on sight with Cazador, but since learning he’s turned all those people to spawn to sacrifice them?? He got the special sneak attack treatment.

My Gale shitpost is now my number one post on Tumblr and not any of the hundreds of photomode screenshots I spent literal hours setting up. 🤣 I fucking love this.

Mystra: Gale of Waterdeep. You look well.

Narrator: He did not look well.

[moonmaiden86]

Nailed the love test!

And Orin is already dead… so Zethino got to stay alive 🥰

Talishire is taking her baby girl to the circus.

You should get an AO3 account

With the rise of AI and the well known epidemic of AI companies scraping Ao3 for training data most authors on Ao3 have locked down their fics to logged in users only. This is unfortunate for authors and readers. As an author I've noticed a steep drop in readership on fics restricted to logged in users and when recommending fics to my friends I've noticed that the folks without an account can't find the fics. The logged in users only toggle, not only keeps people without an account from reading a fic, but also from seeing its listing at all. More than 50% of fics I come across have this setting turned on. So, you should get an AO3 account. I know this seems daunting and unfair because it's an invite only system but, you can invite yourself through the homepage if you don't already have one, and in the past few years I've never heard of someone who requested an invitation through this method, not getting one. And for those of you who are hesitant because you don't write, that's okay. It's not weird at all to click on a commenter username and find that they have 0 works and 10,000 bookmarks. It might take a week for the invitation to actually show up, but I can almost guarantee you will get one, just keep an eye on your email. It's free to join and donations are optional. You'll have more to read if you have an account and maybe give your favorite author the chance to protect their work from AI without a loss of readership and feedback.
