The Lord of Winterfell was twenty-three, only a few years older than the Lords of Raventree and Riverrun... yet Stark was a man and they were boys, as all those who saw them together seemed to sense. The lads shrank in his presence, Mushroom says. "Whever the Wolf of the North stalked into a room, Bloody Ben would recall that he was but three-and-ten, whilst Lord Tully and his brother blushered and stammered and flushed red as their hair."
"The city was his, to do with as he wished." Septon Eustace says. "The northman had taken it without drawing a sword or loosing an arrow. Be they king's men or queen's men, stormlanders or seahorses, riverlords or gutter knights, highborn or low, common solidiers deffered to him as if they had been sborn to his service."

It. Is. Time. To start my next series. Welcome back! This time Vidow is on the chopping blocks and oh man is it gonna be good.... And long. Like excruciating levels of long. I promise we'll get through this together.
Good news for everyone this time I have the first three poems complete so I'll be posting those three once a week for the next couple of weeks. Huzzah! Let's start with some Vio this week.
Our Dreams are Reality...Or are they?
Chapter 1: Staring Out a Window
I miss you.
I see you in the shadows of my room,
I feel you in the cold breath of a winter’s morning.
I hear you in the chatter of happy friends.
I wish you weren’t gone,
Because I can no longer feel
Your hands on my shoulders.
Nor the taste of the drinks
We once shared together.
Staring out of a window
As the clouds roll on in
Wondering desperately
If you would have enjoyed it.
Seeing so many words
On a page of my favorite
Wondering desperately
If you would have laughed with me at it.
Tasting a new kind of dish
Filled with herbs and numerous spices
Wondering desperately
If you would have cried with me while eating it
Hearing a favorite melody
A song with so much percussion
Wondering desperately
Would you have played it with me?
Meeting old and new friends
Touch freely given among acquaintances
Wondering desperately
Would you have wanted to meet them as well?
...
And yet as much as I dream;
As much as I hope and I wish
With all my might to change that.
You never will.

I really like this game. Im over 100 hours in. But. The dreariness. Is so much.
Like ok this whole act is in shadow cursed lands fine. But. The house of healing? And then even in shars temple theres skeletons ok but theres just corpses and bones and random body parts hanging from the ceiling. Im usually excited to explore every nook and cranny but Ivr had enough of this whole area already.
Hsvent done moonrise towers. Done most? of shars gauntlet, got the spear, dealt with ?yurgir and then I was looking up where to find loot because Im not enjoying the ambience (@harrow) and I saw if you do the gauntlet before moonrise you lose the gnomes and tieflings? Idk if its the whole thing or not so after yurgir orthon?? Is orthon the type of devil? - went back to last light. (And hoo boy. My computer isnt quite technically up to spec for thr game. The cutscenes are choppy and it takes forever to save but I make it work. Last light really slows everything down, there are so many npcs and building layers all right there. Cant seem to get nore tief info about zevlor though, no one wants to talk about him?)
So now Halsin wants me to meet him by the lake for a quick trip into the shadowfell? Is dealing with the absolute urgent or what, we're just going on another interplanar jaunt?? I mean as long as theres less corpses tbh. (The warding bond marriage rings?!?! Ugh)) and how old is Halsin anyway?
Also very funny with the whole defeaying the last dark justiciar thing and theres shadowheart completed the trials decked out in her new dark justiciar half-plate. Also why are there still rats after i defeated him? Enemy rats. That was a fun fight though, popped up spirit guardians and just had shadowheart dash around. I kinda feel bad for Lythander, hes kinda cool.
And i had to look up the solution to the library. It asks what silences the nightsong and the answrr is Shar! So I tried to give it the idol of shar from grymforge. No, it wants the book that gives the hint because the hint is the answer because a book about what silences the nightsong is the answer to what silences the nightsong? Thats not logical, the answer is Shar, not a book. But it is a library so maybe I should have guessed.
The self same trial was also cool. You know whats better than having your own fireball used against you? Counterspell.
And when counterspell fails the combat long says you "cast failed counterspell". Oh yes my favourite spell, Failed Counterspell! 😂
And I kinda wish I could recruit Rolan. Poor guy with his thunderwave.

me, standing over a display of advent calendars and chocolate santas in local aldi on 31st october: letting christmas encroach into november is surrendering to western capitalist propaganda. november is the true spooky month. it begins with dziady when we invoke ghosts and spirits of our ancestors and ends with andrzejki when we divine our matrimonial future. christmas has no business anytime between the two. i firmly believe we should get up to all kinds of spooky rituals during that period. rip to people thinking spooky season ends on halloween but we slavs are different
the aldi cashier: very well ma'am, does that mean you won't be interested in 50% discount if you purchase two chocolate santas instead of one

more deep space station OCs!! her designation is Five of Eight, Tactical Drone of Trimatrix 1076, but she understands that takes a lot of time to say out loud, so she will accept the shortening of “Five” for efficiency’s sake.
(Vizus is @splashtail‘s Vorta OC, who also lives on the station!)
more info:
Five is an Andorian (specifically one born to Andorian and Aenar parents - hence the green skin) who was assimilated by the Borg shortly after Starfleet made first contact with the Borg in 2365. her cube underwent a submatrix collapse and was cut off from the collective, all of the drones entered regenestasis. approximately 15 years later, five spontaneously awoke from regenestasis and attempted to resume her duties aboard the cube. being completely isolated and cut off from the collective, she began to regain her individuality.
growing restless, she partially repaired an alien craft that hadn’t been finished being disassembled and assimilated and set out to try and seek out another borg cube and rejoin the collective. by that point, she’d been cut off for too long, and as she approached the nearest cube her self preservation instincts kicked in. the ship she was in was old and in disrepair, so she was lucky enough to go unnoticed by the cube and was able to turn the ship towards federation space, and make contact with the currently still unnamed deep space station.
textless ver under the cut! :3c
