October Writing Day 2

Still using the BG3 Inktober prompt list. Just exploring those horrible Durge dreams the game mentions.

Who Are You?

He doesn’t know why he thinks a good night’s sleep will somehow bring back his memories. In truth, it isn’t something Kerric would have admitted to or perhaps even realized when he curled into his bedroll but some part of him expected, hoped, it might.

But no, sleep did not bring answers or peace or understanding, it brought something far, far worse. Rivers of blood. Piles of mangled limbs. A sea of dead bodies. And he was at the center of it all, smiling, laughing, breathing in the iron smell, letting it fill his lungs, the taste on his tongue making him salivate. All of it bringing him sweet, exquisite pleasure that spread through his body leaving him teetering on the brink.

He awakes with a start. His heart pounds in his chest and bile begins to rise in his throat at the remembered fragments of dream still lingering in his mind. But, there’s also no denying the warmth in his body and tightness as he shifts on the ground. 

By the Gods what’s happening to him? He’s too afraid to move, to get up and walk off the confusion of thoughts and feelings, unsure of what he might do if any of the others awoke and approached him. The dawn is too far off for him to wake now anyways, he would be of no use tomorrow if he did, but the thought of returning to sleep fills him with dread. What he wants is oblivion, nothing but darkness, for his mind to be as empty as the past when he tries to remember.

Another thought creeps in, it needn't be this hard, he doesn’t need to fight. His body knows what it wants, all he needs to do is relax and enjoy, one simple act could bring it all back, his hands know what to do, what they want, all he has to do is allow it.  

A sob threatens to escape. His teeth bite into his lower lip as he tries to keep it in. The struggle to keep quiet and keep the dark thoughts from overwhelming him eventually consume his shattered, confused mind and the oblivion he wishes for finally comes.

Me for the last two weeks: I gotta clean my fucking room before Christmas

Me every day for the past two weeks: not today. I got time

[puffinpastry]

I go to the reptile expo for two things:

A new snake hook set

A new tank for my froggie Reginald.

I left with:

A new tank for my froggie Reginald

A framed moth

Many little trinkets

Plans on getting big custom tanks for my snakes so that I can stack so I have room for a panther chameleon.

A broken heart from holding the little baby hands of a panther chameleon.

I seriously almost cried over how sweet this chameleon was, man. Almost CRIED. I fell in love instantly and remembered caring for some baby foster chameleons a while back... I was doomed the moment the guy I was talking to offered to let me hold the one that was chilling on his shoulder.

....this is gonna make moving for grad school so much harder.

Worth it.

When someone believes in you, man, you can do anything, any fucking thing in the entire universe. And when you believe right back in that someone, then watch out, world.

Ok I gotta be honest. I went into Christine expecting, at best, a good bad movie that I'd enjoy laughing at. Hee hoo haunted car go brr how silly

...but then I ended up completely unironically loving it

Anyway one one asked but i'm anxious over nothing so here are my current Bayonetta 3 theories:

Viola is either a 100% original character or a fem!Luka from a parallel reality and i'm honestly leaning towards OC. The idea of her being a daughter of Cereza and Luka is just too out of left field for me

The Cheshire demon she uses is an artificial training demon someone came up with to help her get the hang of it before finalizing a pact with a real demon. Maybe Cereza herself?

Maybe Jeanne and Cereza from that particular reality were trying to revive the Umbra Witches? Good for them i always thought that would be a cool thing to see and it's a least a little weird they never seemed inclined to do so in Bayo2

The "alphaverse" the scientist dude is talking is the prime Bayonetta reality aka our Bayonetta. This implies other Bayonettas are offshoots from her also there's the terrifying implication of a Bayonetta "omegaverse"

Our Cereza will probably only appear into the latter half of the game after the proper plot twist of "the Bayonetta you're playing as isn't the old Bayonetta"

The blood moon has been a recurring thing in all three trailers so far including the original teaser. While it can be just an aesthetic thing it seems weird how much they're emphasizing on marketing material considering the color palette of the game is based around purple. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a central narrative element or at least one of significance

Also side note but Bayo's original signature color was red. Maybe there is some connection? Idk

The split logo seems to be based on the pagan symbol of the triple goddess also associated with the concept of "maiden mother crone". I'm pretty sure this represents were gonna have three playable characters and we have two confirmed: Viola, a witch in training symbolizing the maiden and the main Bayonetta from the promotional material representing the mother. It's currently unknown who a third playable character would be and i struggle to think of a character that would fit the label of "crone" in this series. A version of Rosa or Cereza who has been allowed to grow old and become an Umbran Elder would seem likely but we have no hints towards that. Jeanne being a third playable character would seem like an obvious choice but to me that goes against the triple goddess symbolism as Jeanne seems a poor fit for the title of "crone". It's entirely possible it's a character were still gonna be introduced to.

I actually have no fucking idea of who could be the main villain in this game outside of "Evil Bayonetta". I don't think it's anyone or anything we know unless they're pulling it from a very obscure source (not many of these) or they do something weird like "the big bad is a version of Rodin that snapped".

This is what i have for now. There's a little under three months until it's here let's hope for a few more teasers before then.
