robin's smiling. her head is thrown back to catch the last few warm warm rays of the end of summer and the sun glints off the lake water dripping from her hair. the spot they found at the beginning of the season is fully secret, long tree branches hiding them from any prying eyes that may wander their way but open enough that chrissy gets to see what robin looks like in sunlight.
it's blinding in that kind of way she doesn't expect. it's heartbreaking in that kind of way she does expect. she feels her breath catch as robin opens her eyes, places her pinkie just so next to hers and it makes a tiny spark shoot between them. and oh, there it is.
chrissy looks up, wants to catch the shy grin robin throws her way and return it with something that feels like love, but she knows she can't. she has an image, a family to live up.
robin smiles, and chrissy tries not to let it break her.
With every “!!” i get, I’ll introduce you to an OC!
MY BABY IGNATIA!!! I mentioned her briefly when talking about her mother, but now I'll talk about her more in depth >:3c
Ignatia was another D&D5e character I played in a campaign. She's an artificer who primarily used a gun rather than magic, unlike the rest of her family.
She's the current youngest child of Vaniesa and Rukodyne, and takes the anxiety of her mother to a while new level. She's also prone to rather childish outbursts of anger, especially when her abilities are called into question. She genuinely wants to do what's right though, she just isn't sure how to do it most of the time, which has gotten her into major trouble more than a few times. She's very smart and skilled with making things, and creating new inventions is something she enjoys doing in her free time.
She's half bronze dragon, and as such has features that betray that, most obvious of which are her tail, scales, and horns! The latter feature is one she attempted to hide by wrapping her hair around them into pigtails, and scales were hidden by clothing, as well as her tail to an extent, but the tail especially proved to be more of an issue since she couldn't control it as easy when emotions ran wild. She also has a breath attack she can use, but it's not as powerful as her fathers yet, but she hopes to be even stronger than he is someday.
Ignatia went from being very outgoing as an infant and toddler to much more introverted as a preteen due to how overprotective Vaniesa got over her (in large part to Ignatia being briefly kidnapped by the dragon cult) and being teased constantly and relentlessly by Illiandrus didn't help matters at all. This, coupled with the fact that Vaniesa refused to take her on adventures but did take her older sister Illiandrus, Ignatia grew rather bitter and angry toward her mom and sister.
When she was about 12, she was briefly placed in the care of Vaniesa's father in Baldur's Gate as Vaniesa had to go on a mission with Illiandrus, and Rukodyne also had important matters to take care of. Ignatia took this chance and decided to run away and go on her own adventure when she heard rumors of troubles. Armed with a gun her godmother Sil had made for her, she set off on her own. The rumors unfortunately turned out to be true and Ignatia ended up in a whole lot of trouble as she eventually made her way to Avernus with a few others in an attempt to save the city of Elturel, and to prevent Baldur's Gate from meeting a similar fate. She was in way over her head but she was too stubborn to quit for a very long time as she wanted to prove to her mom that she was just as capable as her sister and could save the world too! But she was terrified, and every step seemed to bring a new danger for her to face. She got a lot stronger but at the cost of facing horrors she wasn't truly prepared for.
Essentially, 3/4s of the campaign was spent like this:
Once Vaniesa had gotten word of exactly where her daughter had gone, Ignatia was eventually visited unexpectedly by her mom once she'd figured out how to get to Avernus and find her daughter. Despite everything, Ignatia only agreed to return with only if Vaniesa would let her go on adventures too, just like Illiandrus, and only if the few friends she had made would be okay. Conditions were met, and she returned relatively safely to the material plane.
She still had a lot of resentment that took a long time to begin to fade, but once she got older and got more experience in a place that wasn't literally hell, she began to feel a lot more confident in herself and eventually starts going on adventures alone and with Illiandrus, who has also eased up a lot and is trying to be a kinder older sister in her own ways.
happy wip wednesday! it all happens so quick grabbed my eye immediately, love the title
WIP Wednesday Game
Again, trigger warning for hospitals because they are at a hospital!
It would be a little too apt to say that Agatha took Brendan’s seat just as he got out of it, although she did take it eventually, she spent quite a few minutes standing next to Claire, glaring down at her, jaw set. “Can’t call you an asshole if you’re dying, Claire,” she growls out, eyes narrowed, arms crossed. “But not telling anyone? That was a real dick move, hon.”
Only with Agatha there did Eve consider that maybe, just maybe, she was the reason Claire didn’t say anything in the first place. They’d all seen Cian slowly, so slowly be consumed by the disease that destroyed them, and they’d seen just as much how Agatha clung to them, how she’d never been able to leave, how she’d stopped eating again, how she’d stopped sleeping, how she’d blamed herself for sleeping because those were precious moments she could have spent with Cian that were now wasted. It was entirely possible that Claire looked at Agatha’s response to Cian and thought, No, thought she wouldn’t make Eve live through that.
“Didn’t even tell your wife. Isn’t that just such a bullshit—”
“No.” Eve stared down at her empty hands and took a deep breath in. “I’m sure Claire did the best she could with what she had. She would never have meant to hurt anyone.”
Agatha stared at her, one brow raising. “She hurt you, babe.”
Eve didn’t move. “There wasn’t a way to not hurt me.”
Send ’ 🎉 ’ to kiss my muse at midnight on New Years Eve!
when he was around hara, all the intricacies of this earthly realm made sense. the never-ending noise that occupied his mind, the infinite lust that kept his heart being for whatever would burn him in the end was able to pause for a moment. feel her warm skin against his own and take comfort in her divinity. it was no secret luca enjoyed to party. being able to feel the bass thumping in his chest, surrounded by people and liquor running through his veins was one of his favourite places to be. even so – he was more than pleased laying on the outdoor chaise with hara where they laid intertwined and dressed in the light of the moon. a little drunk and completely in love. when the hour turned to midnight, the boy kissed her, tracing the outline of her delicate curves with his own. “ the year has only just begun and being here with you, darling, i have already done enough. ”
For the ask game 00:01, 00:22 and i’m gonna regret it 00:29 !
thanks for sending an ask!!
01 - favorite location?
hmmm thats actually pretty difficult since the characters move through locations quickly. i guess i'd have to choose The Lodge. it might be a kindve standard answer, but i love that we got to explore the whole thing and find stuff. the fire pit might be my 2nd favorite bc im just a sucker for bonfires lol.
22 - what did you think of the epilogue?
it couldve been better. in all of Supermassive Games' works before this, there was always an in-universe acknowledgement of the events that took place. UD's has been talked about enough, but also:
🚨SPOILERS FOR OTHER GAMES🚨
in Man of Medan, all of the characters (potentially) sail away on a boat together.
in Little Hope after being arrested, Anthony's Reveal provides us with a flashback of what really was happening
and in House of Ashes, all of the characters come together in that final fight above surface, then ride together in the helicopter, and then have those gov't interviews in the tents.
🚨END OF SPOILERS🚨
for The Quarry to end in nothing but title cards was definitely jarring. with that said, i thought the credits podcast was fine. personally i wouldve had it where the podcasters were interviewing the surviving counselors, but the podcast as it is wasnt bad. tbh had we just been given that final in-universe acknowledgement where all the playable characters come together in the end, then i dont think anyone wouldve had a problem with the podcast.
29 - a character you think is overrated?
easily Travis, like without hesitation lol.
a lot of ppl are twisting him into having some sortve redemption arc when that never happened. not only does Laura canonly never forgive him for what he did, he explicitly says he also couldnt give any less of a shit abt it either.
im also seeing ppl say hes there new meow meow and its like... thats a grown man lol. thats a grown man who's a cop. like not only is he just A Guy, but hes also Just A Dude with very few likable and sympathetic traits. idk i just dont see the appeal. he was an interesting character for sure, but nothing to foam at the mouth over. and especially not worth clogging up the tag when there are so many other interesting characters in the game.
i got my isbn today for the book. 8 months to go. my mom and i were talking about what the next steps are. i was eating trail mix, standing on one foot, phone tucked into my ear.
"yeah," i said. "the problem is that tumblr as a market is like, not something that can be studied." there's this weird wave of nostalgia and affection for this place that came up over me: how lovely we avoid consumerism. okay, it sucks as a creator. but also? keep stickin' it to 'em.
my mother made the sound at the back of her throat that i also make, the one that means i've got an idea. "you should figure out some kind of reward for presale amounts. maybe you give out poems or a mug or a signed book or something. would your followers like that?" my mother is sweet, and kind, and i have no idea how to explain on this website you can buy someone crabs.
i put more m&ms down the hatch. i had to speak through peanuts and almonds. "if it passes 25 thousand i will print the book out in its entirety and eat it live on camera."
"oh god. no, you don't have to do that." she was anguished. "just tell them that you'd love them to read it, and that they've inspired you to write. you got started on that site, and they helped you keep going. raquel, you love these people. the community? you talk all the time about the other writers and artists and whatever else. tell them that you're hoping for their support, they'll come through."
"no," i assured her. i discovered i had dropped an m&m, but an ant had already found it, so it belonged to him now. i will let his little life have a surprise blue treasure in it, too. "i'm gonna fuckin' eat the book."
Sobbing uncontrollably reading through a dissertation about the college experience of students with ADHD. It is like reading a report about my life that just says over and over "My experiences are real. My hardships are real. I am not lazy, I am not dumb. My struggles were not my fault, and they were not a moral failing. The failure was with the system, not with me."
Here's a line that got me in particular:
"Hotez et al.(2022) compared the health, academic, and non-academic capacities of a nationally representative sample of U.S. first-year college students with ADHD and without ADHD. Students with ADHD self-reported lower academic aspirations and more feelings of depression and overwhelm, ranking themselves lower in their general emotional health. The fact that students with ADHD scored in the highest 10th percentile for many non-academic traits, such as artistic ability, computer skills, creativity, public speaking, social confidence, self-understanding and understanding of others, compassion, and risk-tasking, suggests that this population has strengths that are frequently underappreciated in academia."
(the paper is a thesis called "Understanding the Collegiate Experience for Students With ADHD" by Gia Long, 2022)
I’m so convinced that the only reason the Marauders find out about Remus being a werewolf is because of Regulus cause let’s be real all of them are dumbasses like this is how it prob went down
Sirius: My new best friend gets sick every month I don’t know what to do
Regulus *innocently*: oh so he’s like a werewolf?
Sirius *scandalised* : No-
Sirius: *thinking back to all the times Remus’s sickness coincided with the full moon*
Dad told me he had an extra special dessert for me tonight. Just come see him at night when Mom’s gone to bed and I can have it. After I hear the door to their room close, I know she’s in bed, and I sneak downstairs. I am so excited to see Dad waiting for me!
“I made us some Daddy-daughter brownies,” he says gently, “just for us to share tonight while we watch your favourite movie, sweetie.”
I thank him and take the biggest looking piece off the plate as we settle onto the couch and turn the tv on. After 30 minutes sitting together watching the movie, i start feeling kind of strange.
“Dad, my body feels weird and I can’t focus on the movie anymore,” I whine.
He tells me not to worry and how much he’s enjoying our movie night together. He brings the plate over and offers,
“Have another brownie, kiddo. That should help you feel better.”
While eating more, I vaguely notice Dad’s hand caressing my leg under the blanket. He probably just likes spending time with his daughter..nothing to worry about.
As the movie continues, he gently runs his fingers up my inner thigh, getting closer and closer to my pussy.
Now anxious and having a hard time gathering my thoughts, I ask him, “Dad, what are you doing?”
“Shhh sweetheart, I just want you to feel good,” he replies softly as his hand finds the top of my pjs and slips under the waistband.
His fingers reach my clit and he starts delicately playing with it under his fingertips. I don’t know what to do other than sit there and let his hands touch my body. Soon he grabs my hand and leads it under the blanket, reaching towards his legs. I feel his hard bulge under his pants as he uses my hand to rub himself.
“You’re such a good girl for me,” he praises while putting my hand inside his pants. “Show me how much you love me, sweetheart, rub Daddy’s cock for him.”
Frozen in place and feeling warm and fuzzy in my head from his fingers continuous stimulation, I wrap my delicate hand around his thick cock and start moving up and down. As soon as my hand starts in motion, his fingers move further into my pjs and find the entrance of my pussy. He feels how wet he’s made me and laughs softly.
“Is Dad making your little cunt feel nice?” He asks.
I barely know what’s happening anymore more. I’m just focused on doing what Dad says and getting through our movie night. My nod indicating a yes makes him smile.
“I’m not going to be able to sit still very long, kiddo. Don’t you feel how happy you’re making me?”
He pulls my hand away from him and gets up from the couch. He’s got a more serious look on his face as he says,
“This might not make your cunt feel as nice, sweetie, but I really can’t help myself right now. Lay back on the couch for me and just relax, okay?”
