The religious stuff is just so awkward for me, like no my character’s first (or last) instinct to bring down scandal isn’t going to be confessing? I’ve been procrastinating progressing Burrow Infra-Mump on the railway because No my character isn’t going to restore an old Church to bring Christianity to the middle of nowhere?

Lowering scandal is so difficult when you refuse to go to church

The experience of being in a fandom part of Tumblr with tons of sideblogs is knowing that half the people that you follow/follow you could be mutuals but due to the fact you can’t follow from sideblogs you can’t tell.

Atlas is officially getting a tattoo! I thought it was about time, and this came to me in a bolt of inspiration. Location: on his back, starting at his waist, ending at the top of his shoulder blades. Drawn by me, tattooed by @t6fs's lovely DW. Flowers' significance under the cut!

It traces up your spine, over old scars; a balm of new memories, meaning injected into your skin. The application is a lot less painful than you thought it would be. You may not be able to see it, but you will always know it's there.

You've gained a Floral Tattoo

Respectable +1; Neathproofed +1

7 daisies: the age difference between him and his brother is 7 years; daisies were his brother's favorite flower

4 forget-me-nots, in a cluster: he used to be in a family of 4

3 orchids: Thomas' favorite flower, and the amount of years they've known each other (give or take; one can never really tell in the Neath)

2 lavender stems: @tequila-sunfall's Ferdinand's favorite flower, the second person they ever fell in true love with

The absolute MOST important part of a late game flondon PC is that they still be written pathetic by the game sometimes. You're a railway tycoon and a name known from the docks to the Bazaar for your Ambition and achievements, you can persuade or intimidate with the wave of a hand, but you are GOING to make this social faux pas in front of an entire party if you fail this check and it's going to be a whole thing. You are going to get chased by terrorbirds on the train and your hat and luggage will go everywhere. Sometimes you simply won't dodge that hit and that big guy will send you flying, and it will not be dramatic or heroic, because that was a 95% success chance and d__n, it's shaping up to be one of those days again, isn't it. It's really important to me, that those things be left in. It's what keeps the writing from becoming purely a power slash ego trip, and any activity that doesn't leave room for that is a lot more likely to lose my interest.

might make a longer post about this but right now I am simply O_O

I wonder if you could use a correspodance sigil to make a heaty pad. for my chronic pain flondoners

[staring-at-my-keyboard]

"The warmth that chases away ills", maybe?

My PC has nerve damage in his hands and the pain is soothed by the in-game Sun-Seared Silken Gloves, so taking a bunch of those and tearing the stitches and then re-sewing them as a kind of glove amalgam-sack that you fill with warm sand before sealing is also an option.

Yes I think about this often how could you tell

This fandom is filled with such amazing and creative people I’m constantly so impressed

it feels like it's the wrong way round considering twitch's history but i honestly think out of twitch & grace, grace would have a waaay worse reaction to taking red honey*

(* goes without saying neither of them would take it willingly tho. this is unwilling circumstances)

twitch is kinda already attuned to all of those horrors--way more attuned to them than probably anyone else actually. ok yeah, they would feel awful. it would dredge up all kinds of trauma to make them feel horrific & violated that they were forced to inflict the pain that they know so well onto somebody else

but they wouldn't feel guilty or attach it to a specific person- they're horrified at the concept of red honey at large, and they already know those horrors. they're kinda numb to them. those horrors are their whole existence, it's literally the only reason twitch is twitch. they live it everyday. they can get up and move on

lieutenant guilt grace on the other hand. he went through nemesis, he wishes he could have helped more, but he didn't understand the implications of red honey or cardinal's honey til it stared him in the face & he was holding twitch through a honey headache.

the horrors are pretty new to him, & he sees how brutally & how often it affects someone he cares about in excruciating detail. he can't disconnect it from that. it doesn't matter that it wasn't his fault, he would take red honey & immediately feel like he's betrayed twitch. he tries to help them through it, he wishes he could shield them from it, and then he's a part of inflicting that pain on somebody else? does it matter if he didn't mean to? would he feel the same if he found out someone did that to twitch? could he forgive them? he would have to help them through that honey headache all the same, whether it was an accident or not. they still suffer. whoever's memories he ate, they still suffer

man. it would eat him alive
