Okay but I genuinely need to talk about the intersection between Wyll and Karlach's quests because it's driving me insane in the best way possible and nobody I know has hit this point so its all gonna be beneath a cut (coz early, but important and kinda massive spoilers)
The ease at which Wyll can be talked down from hurting/hunting Karlach. The small passive roll he makes to understand she ISNT LYING because she's so panicked and so open. The horror that Mizora lied to/used him. The honest apology he gives her, deferring.
The way he defends her against Mizora and insists that this isn't part of his Pact, right up until Mizora quotes the clause that denotes 'soulless' as a viable reason for him to hunt someone/thing. Even with the threat of punishment, he doesn't let Mizora compromise his morals, and he pays for it. With his body. With his spirit. With his soul.
Mizora gloats (GLOATS!) about how even she can't undo what she's done to him. And yet his Pact remains, she still has power over him. She warns him against defying her again. Then she leaves.
Karlach is horrified and empathetic. Zevlor seems shocked and saddened to see Wyll like this. Wyll openly defies his 'punishment' and says he wouldn't have done a damn thing different, even from the moment he made his Pact with Mizora.
Genuinely, without any kind of weight on the scale, Wyll is the best person in your party. Lawful Good man really out here talked down from vitriol and attempted murder to being PUNISHED for having morals.
And I'm not even that far in.
I'm sure that if you attack Karlach, if you don't take Wyll and choose her, if you side one way or the other, then its different. But I didn't because I like Wyll and I wanted to know why the fuck he had beef with the beef wife (who I was GENUINELY STOKED to finally have on my team after years of seeing her as a small bit character on the Risen Road) so ofc I would go poking around.
I can't wait to see how this pans out. I know we can finally get Cazador and we can find the crèche La'ezel is looking for and we can fix Karlach's infernal engine, but I want to free Wyll from Mizora because he's done good things and I want him to have the option to do more without her holding a stick the whole time, their Pact written contractual.
Finished the main questline of Skyrim for the first time, so in a way, first time 'beating' Skyrim
Was very intimidated to play at first since I played it so late and knew nothing about it, but really loved it. Loved the Dawngaurd questline the most by far, but Dragonborn's boss fight is a close second. Will put it down for now and play some other games, but left a lot of quests open to play for the first time in the future.
Also Bran I love you and am so so sorry for killing you on accident so many times and having to load a quick save, please forgive me you are best dog
So a visual novel I like called "The Human Heart" recently updated with new art and rewrites for the first couple of days, and...
Sir!
Sir!!
I need an adult!
NN, you are an adu-
I NEED A SECOND, MORE QUALIFIED, ADULT! ALSO A COLD SHOWER FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON!
(I'm pretty sure he saw my junk, the scene started with me naked, after all...)
Jokes aside, Lars was one of my favorites the first time around. He's pretty chill in that "dude you'd totally talk about the coffee place you found that one time" kind of way. But I'm digging the shift. I wonder how the rest is gonna go. Unless there's a scene where Ace and I are fighting delinquents in an alleyway like it's an 80s anime, I think I've got my current fave.
If you want to check it out for yourself, the artist/author is over on Twitter as @LeoTheLionel and is a pretty chill guy. The games free, too, so you've got nothing to lose but some space on your platform of choice. Go support the dude!
As I have said before, I love to draw! I especially love to draw my husbandos. Childe here is my favorite currently. This was a quick illustration I doodled for his birthday! I often find myself drawing genshin fanart when I have the time now a days ♡
And yes, Shroomsie is my art tag name. you can find more of my work on my Pixiv
( I did have a tumblr blog to post art on in the past, but it will no longer be updated as this account is my home on this platform now. )
