(Softly) hey gang. still Valar brainrot

I’m thinking of. Clearing out my asks. I should. I barely look at tumblr notifs or tumblr in general tbh I’ve been very intently consuming every single bg3 media I can find on Twitter and ao3 🚶 kicking myself in the shins I’m gonna do thay in the morning

That comment about Sharp Teeth on the poll post is so funny to me because that fic is what first gave me Rolan brainrot. It's your fault smh. And tbh I quite like the fast pace it sets. Like yeah maybe it's a bit less atmospheric as a result, but there's something to be said about a story grabbing you by the throat and wrenching you through the plot until its suddenly 6am and you realize you hadn't slept because you'd stayed up all night binging this damn fic

Hehehe thank you! Pleased to be dragging people into the Rolan obsession, by the tail if necessary ;)

And yes, I’m certainly still very proud of it and not even sure if the pacing is a problem - like, I wasn’t trying to write a slow burn anyway, and we all KNOW (mostly) how the BG3 story goes. On re-reading, I feel like it does rip through the first two chapters, but that’s fine. We start to go a bit longer and slower when Tav and Rolan actually get to interact in interesting ways beyond the game events. I also really had to work to stuff all the latter Act 3 plot down into the last section after Tav and Rolan are firmly Together. I felt that Lae’zel’s place in the story meant the House of Hope had to happen, and of course Gortash has to die - but aside from Orin those events are not very Rolan-centric, even when Tav is dating him. So I picked out the bits that I hoped would be most relevant and crushed the rest down to neutron-star density.

(Hazily mumbling to myself at this point: what even IS pacing anyway? Do I have a clue what I mean?)

Anyway thanks for the ask <3 And proud to be ruining sleep schedules in the name of our beloved Tiefling wizard ;)
