Rip Van Winkle was honestly such a character. Aside from being called Rip Van Winkle, her entire episode was wild. Girly was hyped up, got two musical numbers, shot down fighter jets with a musket, had a breakdown when she realised she might have to, you know, actually fight Hellsing, was kind of horny and then died.
No notes. Iconic.

Pleasantly confused patients are the bravest people in the world. They have no idea where they are, when they are, or why they’re wherever it is they might be, but they’re going along with it as cheerfully as they can.

Idk how this works, but 4,18,28 please
Hello, thank you. It's perfect like this! From this ask game
4. What did they do before they became a crusader? Did they have a job, an occupation?
Answered here!
18. If they survived, what is their life post crusade?
Nela survives the Crusades, staying in Drezen as its governor. To put it in few words: she has nowhere else to go anyway, and despite the many struggles and the growing mental health issues she also feels fulfilled by the job and has a talent for it. She has grown attached to the place and its people, it's where she belongs now that her home is gone.
That's... not as positive a choice as it may sound.
The first few months after the Crusades are won, Nela remains busy. However, as soon as Drezen and Mendev start to settle in, the companions go on their respective ways and the workload goes down... she crashes and goes on a downward spiral.
All the mental issues and trauma she had shouldered by playing the part of the perfect Commander start to appear, and she declines fast. Any attempt to help is pointless. She doesn't want to talk about the actual sources of her issues, so there is no way for anyone to intervene. It gets bad, really bad. She starts to self-harm a few months in.
It's only thanks to Sosiel's intervention that the situation gets solved before it can reach a critical point. Sosiel and Nela share a homeland, both coming from Carpenden, Andoran. He knows her relatives, enough to have mostly figured out by himself what's truly going on and approaching her brother, now an elder man in his 90s, with the full story. A way to return the favor, so to speak.
Samel, Nela's brother, ends up rushing to Drezen to meet up with Nela. Having a part of her family, her old world, back is a massive relief, but it's as much of a relief to have someone she can afford to be fully honest with. She doesn't have to fear hurting him with her feelings and thoughts, or to show weakness to the wrong person as someone in a position of authority. It doesn't magically make it all better, but it gets her started.
She ends up retiring from Drezen for about half a year to get some rest and work out her issues, moving to one of Daeran's properties closer to Nerosyan. Anevia and Irabeth contact her from time to time for bigger decisions, but she is mostly left to rest and recover.
It takes her years before she works out through it all. It's never fully gone, but she is finally comfortable in her own skin and at peace with how her life turned out. She remains just a governor, stubbornly refusing getting any more political power and making an effort to discourage anything that may push her beyond the edge onto divinity.
She also remains in contact with the Hand of the Inheritor and her fellow angels companions. From time to time, she goes on escapades to help them out in other planes. The rest of her time and effort is spent in helping out with purifying the Worldwound and providing aid to the efforts of the Sarkorians, druids and other followers of the Green Faith.
Daeran and her only marry once the worst of her own issues have passed, about 2 years after the Crusades have ended.
28. Would they be a companion instead of the KC? What would their storyline and personal quest be?
Answered here!

your blog is so so cool because you're goth and also use sometimes antiquated spellings and (for tumblr, if your posts were compiled into a book the reviews would say like "highly accessible prose... takedown of capitalist hegemony" or something) academic style of writing so sometimes I assume you're like a 500 year old vampire. then you'll use modern slang and it breaks my entire brain. when you occasionally shitpost it brightens my dash bc I'm like omg, the duality of goth. anyway hope you're doing well!
this is so incredibly flattering because it's exactly what I go for. thank you very much for your missive, kind Reader.

so my little sister's school had a raffle fundraiser last night, and my little sister didnt win so she came home crying; something i completely understand cus the exact same thing happened to me whenever my school held raffles. EXCEPT there was one time i won a raffle! me and my sisters had 10 dollars worth of raffle tickets and we put all of them into one thing: a pack of three webkinz. and we got em! i think we still have two of the three to this day.
but anyways my mom took me to the thrift store today, and i wandered around the houseware/toys section and found three webkinz all at once! we ended up buying them for my little sister since she didnt win, and i explained to her how me and my sisters used to play with them all the time, and my other younger sister brought her old ones out and they played for some time and i just sat downstairs (cus i was busy) like this as i heard them playing whole time
