#saif the great

[talesofmetalandmagic]

CW for this one: it’s about a child character who almost drowns and there are mentions of ca

It’s a beautiful summer afternoon in Shurima.

His Radiant Perfection Saif the Great, his wife Safiya, their adorable gaggle of princes and princesses, their caretakers Nasus and Renekton and the requisite army of dignitaries, guards, handmaidens and worse are relaxing by a natural lake. Swimming, splashing, re-enacting naval battles and building entire cities in the damp sand.

The water is thick and it goes very deep – not a hassle for the crocodilian Renekton, who can swim all the way down to the bottom as if he was born in there and brings rocks to each of the children.

He basks in the admiration of the small ones; most notably the youngest and least loved, Azir, whose eyes shine as if he’s seen the coolest thing alive.

Minutes pass, and Saif wakes up from his afternoon slumber. He looks around at the children. One, two, three… seven.

Seven.

“Where did Azir go this time?” he asks, almost angrily. That child has a habit of putting himself in bad situations.

And it’s at this point that Nasus casually looks down into the water, almost as if guided by an instinct unknown, and cold sweat coats his fur.

The scream that follows is hoarse and desperate.

“RENEKTON! DIVE!”

“Oh sh-“ the Crocodile’s vulgar response drowns with him as he launches himself into the water, down and further down, where no human could ever go without proper training – and where, barely visible in the long shade, something small and brown floats.

When Renekton swims to the surface, Azir lays in his arms as stiff as a mace. His arms are spread to the side, his body is limp, his dreadlocks are scattered about and his face doesn’t respond to the gentle kiss of air.

Nasus’ heart clenches. No, no no no no… please no.

“What happened to my son?” His Most Glorious Resplendence asks.

“He dove deep, my lord,” one of the guards says. “I’m afraid… he…”

“No. Give him to me.”

Nasus pretty much snatches the child from Renekton’s arms and lays him onto the sand. Then he presses his small chest with force at a regular pattern.

“Come on, Azir. Come on!”

The children form a gaggle around Nasus, hugging each other as they witness what could possibly be the end of their youngest. A couple of them are crying.

“Is he dead?” “Please, Azir, wake up” “Mother, I’m scared”

Her Majesty holds her husband’s firm hand, her eyes fixated on the limp child in whose mouth Nasus is pumping fresh air from his own. Everybody’s looking at them. What kind of Emperor…

“Come on, Azir. Wake up!” Nasus presses his hands so strong he feels a bone creak. It can happen in this kind of procedure. What matters is…

“He’s not dead… is he?”

…that Azir comes to…

“Should we call Xolaani?”

…and meets another day.

“I should have been faster! Dammit! DAMMIT!”

Even Renekton’s own screams of guilt fall on the Jackal’s deaf ears. He presses and pumps, pumps and presses, praying the Sun Disc and all the Masked Ones not to take his favourite child, not him, not one so young and helpless.

And at last a stream of water falls out of Azir’s mouth and his eyes blurt open.

“Hey… hey!” Nasus’ hands barely shake of excitation. “It’s alright, child. I have you. Spit it out.”

He turns Azir to the side and holds him tight as the water keeps streaming down the sand, his little body twitches and clenches, and tears coat his cheeks alongside the water that clogged him.

Among the siblings’ hugs and Renekton’s wail of relief, all Azir sees is Nasus’ smile.

“I feel… funny.”

“It’s alright. You’re safe. I got you.”

Nasus wipes his own tears and, once he’s sure Azir has spit out all the water, he wraps him in a towel and cuddles him. The moment those small arms cling to his neck is the moment he realizes… yes. He saved him.

He sits onto the ground and holds the child close as Saif, holding tight onto the khopesh at his belt to steady his hand, his long thick braid swinging behind him, walks to the son he almost lost.

"Have you gotten it out of your system, Azir?"

"Y-Yes, father" the child blurts out.

"Eyes up. Back steady. You put yourself in grave risk. What pushed you to pursue such a dangerous stunt, pray tell?"

Azir coughs a bit, clinging tighter to Nasus' chest. The Curator massages his back to steady him and soothe him. He's so agitated.

"I merely wanted to imitate Renekton."

Saif takes a deep breath. "Do you fancy yourself an Ascended?"

"Maybe..." he whispers, but one gaze from Saif is enough to freeze him.

"You didn't just put royal blood in grave danger, frightening your mother and siblings and ridiculing our name among all those onlookers, then. You disrespected the very Ascended as well"

Azir covers his face with his small arms – Nasus pulls him tighter as a response. Renekton's thick fingers wrap around the tip of his loincloth.

"Your Radiance, he meant no harm. He's a child."

"And are you a parent, Nasus? I thought so. Don't speak back."

More tears dampen Azir's baby face, but his father turns back. It's done.

"Please, lord Nasus. Accompany this scapegrace back to the palace. His retreat is over"

Azir bows his head and snivels.

"My prince? Could some grapes cheer you up?"

"Nh. Thnk."

Azir sits in the back of the cart, still wrapped in the same blanket he was put in after he recuperated. It's not the first time this happened, nor will it be the last. He's been known for doing... things his siblings don't do.

One year ago he climbed atop the temple roof to see the doves' nests. He was unable to get down and spend the day up there until he passed out for heatstroke. Had Lady Xolaani not been flying nearby, he'd have been lost.

Two years ago a ring he was fidgeting with slipped into the sewers and he dove into them to get it back. Not only did he lose it – which resulted in a a nasty caning from his father, for the ring belonged to his sister who died in battle at only seventeen – but it took five vigorous baths to remove the stench.

Three years ago he went to the stables to pet Father's horses. He was kicked so hard he needed ten stitches – and since Azir is terrified of needles they had to put him to sleep before the healers could get to work, hardly a display of imperial courage.

And now this.

"Why am I so stupid, Nasus?"

Nasus holds the reins with one hand and lends Azir the other, open and welcoming. "You're not stupid, child."

"But my siblings don't act like this. It's all me, and..." he sighs, curling up tighter into the blanket. "I don't want to make Mother and Father upset. They were worried about me. I thought being like Renekton would make them like me more."

Nasus stops the cart.

"Oh, baby bird..."

He slips in the back and holds the child to his chest, rocking him as if he was smaller. He pets his still damp locs, wraps him tighter into the blanket and shushes him, as his pained whining subsides.

"You don't need to imitate Renekton for us to like you. We already like you, and the thought of losing you would have torn us apart. There's nothing wrong with you. Not at all."

Azir sniffles and hugs Nasus' neck. He always knows what to say.

"You don't have to be Renekton, or me, or your father. Just be Azir. We love Azir anyway."

"I'm sorry you're missing out on the retreat", the child whispers, cuddling up to his teacher's neck.

"I don't mind, honey. It's more of a Renekton thing anyway. I'll be myself instead: back home there's a nice book waiting for me. Maybe you'd like it too?"

And seeing the child's face light up seems to melt the Curator's heart as well.

DONATE PLEASE NOT ONLY SHARE

Hello, my name is Hamza Al-Absi, a 32-year-old from Gaza.

I am a husband and a father of three children. Well, there were three, but I lost my eldest son, Osama, two years ago to leukemia (blood cancer). He deserved treatment for a year and a half, took his chemotherapy, fought the disease, and had a recovery period, but the disease returned, he had a strong relapse, and passed away. I couldn’t treat him again due to the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, which even affected patients with urgent, serious conditions. They refused to treat him, and he died in the hands of his mother and beside his younger brother, Saif. My son could have been treated, but when his turn came to get the treatment, it was too late.

I cannot express the pain of losing an eldest son, and my wife still cries for him every day. It’s a continuous pain that never leaves us.

Since the beginning of the war, we have heard news of children being killed and seriously injured by the insane and savage bombing with rockets and shells, which has not stopped since the war began until today. But thank God, my wife and I and our dear children, “Saif, 3 years old,” and “Rita, one year old,” are still alive.

We were forced to evacuate our home at the beginning of the war against our will due to the intense bombing that our area was subjected to and the orders to evacuate the area and head to southern Gaza. Our house was bombed with war shells, leading to its destruction.

Our journey of displacement began, moving several times from one area to another, until we ended up in a tent in the “Tel al-Sultan” area in the city of “Rafah.” You can imagine how difficult life is in a tent. Everything is done with great difficulty; we are forced to use primitive methods to carry out daily tasks. Every day we light a fire to prepare food, and we struggle to provide water for drinking or bathing. Going to the bathroom is a suffering in itself for adults before children, in the absence of toilets suitable for human use.

The situation worsens with the arrival of summer and the rise in temperatures; the tent literally turns into a “sauna” during the day, especially since my little daughter Rita has started walking on the sand and suffers from pollution diseases, influenza, and other serious diseases that lead to hepatitis.

On top of all that, I lost my job at the beginning of the war and became unemployed due to the total power outage and the lack of internet connection most of the time. I face severe difficulty in providing for my family’s needs amid the crazy price hikes.

We have suffered enough and have been exposed to a lot of fear and panic in the past 7 months. The city of “Rafah” is now threatened with a ground invasion at any moment by the occupation, so I decided to travel and leave Gaza to save the lives of my wife and children.

Time is running out, and we need $15,000 to enable my wife and children to leave Gaza to Egypt via the Rafah land crossing as soon as possible, in addition to the costs of staying in Egypt for 6 months, estimated at ($6,000).

Asking for help is not easy at all, but we believe there is still good in this world. So, I hope you will help us save ourselves from killing and destruction and restore hope to our lives again. I have tasted the bitterness of loss once, and I do not want to taste it again.

We are grateful to everyone who will donate to us, and we appreciate your feelings and support for us.

At least 16 people were killed and 30 injured on 30 May following intense air raids by US and UK warplanes across several Yemeni provinces that destroyed civilian infrastructure.

According to the Yemeni Health Ministry, the death toll is expected to rise as many of those injured remain in critical condition.

Local media reports say the western jets conducted 13 air raids in total, with six of those hitting the capital Sanaa, including near the country's main airport and in several residential neighborhoods.

The attacks also hit telecommunication infrastructure in Hodeidah and Taiz provinces and the Port of Saif.

Health officials in Sanaa condemned the airstrikes, saying in a statement that "the deliberate and unlawful killings carried out by the American-British-Israeli [alliance] against civilians constitute war crimes [and] a grave violation of the rules of international humanitarian law."

Officials in Sanaa also stressed that the western aggression "confirms the great impact of the heroic operations carried out by the Yemeni armed forces against American, British, and Israeli targets" in the Red Sea and beyond.

US and UK jets launched an illegal war on Yemen in January in a failed attempt to deter the country's military operations in support of Palestine.

The latest round of attacks came after the Yemeni armed forces announced they downed a sixth US MQ9 Reaper drone worth $30 million since November. It also follows near-daily attacks on Israeli-linked vessels and western warships in nearby sea routes.

[talesofmetalandmagic]

It’s a dark stormy night in Shurima.

Emperor Azir lays in his imperial bed, snuggled in the silk alongside his beloved wife Zeina. She sleeps like a baby, nestled and cozy. He, however, lays under the sheets nervous and tense.

Every lightning strike feels like a slap to his face, and every clap of thunder like a jab to the head. He holds onto the sheets until his knuckles turn pale; out of breath, sweating cold.

CRASH. Lightning strikes again, making the stained glass windows shake. It’s as if the fierce beasts portrayed upon them had come to life and were brawling inside the carvings, tearing each other to bits.

It’s just a storm. A normal storm. I mustn’t fret. They’d not have wanted it. I’m a man grown and an Emperor.

Another clap makes the windows tremble and creak, and Azir would rather hide his head under the sheets like a child.

I’ve been in battle, for the Sun Disc’s sake. Why am I cowering like an infant?

He covers himself tighter and shifts closer to his wife, hoping to find comfort in her warmth. He closes his eyes, takes deep breaths, tries to let sleep overtake him. And it feels so close…

Until another lightning strikes so close it turns the stained glass white.

Azir slips out of bed, wears a thick embroidered robe above his linen tunic, kisses Zeina’s head, takes the silk scarf that wraps his locs off his head and uses it to wipe the copious sweat that damps his face.

Barefoot, eyes agape, heart thumping, holding a lit lantern in one hand, he walks through the corridor towards the rooms of his children. Nighttime guards stare at him.

“My Emperor?” one of them says.

“I’m fine. You haven’t seen me. Swear it on your life” he grunts out.

Thunder strikes when he enters Ibrahim’s room. The boy sleeps peacefully, one hand slipping down the side of the fine carved bed, a small string of drool falling down his lips. He looks as innocent as he’s youthful, unburdened by the fear that overtakes Azir.

He has Zeina’s nose and cheeks, but something of Omah as well. Azir kisses his head and looks around. He’s fine. He’s safe. My beloved boy…

Taking a deep breath, he pulls the fallen sheets on his child and fixes his headscarf. His room is a mess, as usual: notes thrown all over the place, arrows still in their practice target, the bow thrown on the floor, and his gold and gems set of Senet is scattered about.

He should learn to be more proper. Why, had I made such a mess…

But the lightning strike that follows is so fierce it seems to illuminate the raindrops, and the window quivers in its hinges.

And Azir runs so fast he almost loses his robe.

“IMANI!”

He slams the doors as he rushes in, heart pounding once again. The girl lifts herself up from her bed, clutching her doll Iris to her chest.

“Father? What…”

The following lightning illuminates the child’s face, her wide eyes and the stray curls falling out of her own silken bonnet.

She’s fine, integer, not charred. Easing his breath, the Emperor sits by the child’s side and composes himself.

“Oh, my darling child. You’re fine. You’re alright.”

Imani blinks confusedly. “Why, father? Did you have a bad dream?”

“No. No. I couldn’t sleep. I needed to check on you.”

Imani, now fully wake, clutches her father’s neck and lets him scoop her into his strong arms.

“Are you afraid of the storm?”

Azir holds her closer. He cannot admit that he, winner of battles and light of Shurima, is indeed scared of thunderclaps and lightning strikes.

Let alone tell his innocent, gentle child that the reason why he’s fretting is that he’s remembering his own father and mother, burned to death in their own chambers. Queen Safiya of Vekaura holding onto her dead child in a completely burnt bed. His Radiant Majesty Emperor Saif the Great charred into an unrecognizable form, steaming still, rings melted into his flesh.

Why, Nasus, what’s the rush? I’m having fun with my friend here. This storm can’t last forever.

Azir, my dearest child. I have grave news. Be strong.

“If I was, Imani,” he says, rocking the child into the needed sleep. “Would you protect me?”

“I would. You’re a good father.”

He puts her back in bed, kissing her forehead. Seeing her smile at every kiss brings him a joy unknown.

I’m not ready, father. Not yet. Don’t go. I can’t do this. I can’t… please.

Imani hugs Iris tight and curls up under the sheets.

I would protect you too, Imani dearest. Father would never, ever hurt you.

Princess Iman's New Tiara

Princess Iman of Jordan wore a new tiara for her wedding to Jameel Thermiotis yesterday. I absolutely love the tiara. Modern tiaras can be kind of hit or miss and this one is beautiful and suits Iman perfectly.

The tiara has a modified fringe design with a row of navette cut diamonds underneath a row of pear cut diamonds and Arabic script on each end. Thanks to @lovingtheroyals and @arabianroyalagencyfor confirming that it's Arabic script and figuring out that one of the words is Allah. I think the script is different on each side so it probably says something altogether. I wish I could get a better view of the ends without the veil in the way.

Princess Iman's mother, Queen Rania, also has an Arabic Script Tiara that was made by Yan Sicard of FRED in 2005. @lotuslioness and @malkalaila translated it as saying "to Allah greatness" so it's possible Iman's tiara says the same thing.

Now that we've gotten a better look at the tiara, it is absolutely not my first guess of the Joséphine Valse Impériale Tiara by Chaumet (top left) and it is also not @arabianroyalagency's first guess of Princess Muna's Fringe Tiara (bottom right). Several online news sites are saying that Princess Iman wore a Chaumet tiara that belonged to her grandmother, Princess Muna. I think that they are just combining both of our original speculation as fact and now that one has said it the others are just repeating it. I guess that's what I get for posting my clearly labeled speculation on Twitter instead of staying in my own little corner of the world here on Tumblr.

I don't think we're going to get confirmation of the tiara's designer like we did for the dress (Dior) because it's beneficial for the JRF for people to think that it belonged to Princess Muna and is not a new tiara. It is possible that it was made using diamonds from older jewelry that belonged to Princess Muna or another member of the family but it would have had to have been completely taken apart and remade. Either way it is a beautiful tiara that I absolutely was not expecting yesterday and I'm even more excited for her brother, Crown Prince Hussein's, wedding to Rajwa Al-Saif in June.

How to Make it Through to the End of the School Year

I myself am pushing through to the end of my spring semester (gotta make it to finals week 😅) and it's rough, for sure. I'm rounding out my junior year of college and it's quickly hitting me that after this, I'll only have one more year left of school (as of right now).

I know I listed in the bio of this blog that there would be advice/study tips and while I am no expert, I can speak from my experience and what has worked for me. DIsclaimer: everyone is different and what I may or may not list here is not a cure-all for everyone, this is just how I stay productive and efficient.

Taking breaks! - I struggle a lot with recognizing my limits and taking healthy breaks so I can work best. Recently, a friend and I have been having outside study times ("picnics") where we sit and do some work and/or color. One evening, we even made chai lattes on the lawn to have while we colored. Personally, I love simple coloring books (like Disney, but I'm currently working in a Bluey book). Also, this past weekend, I made time in between my textbook readings to rewatch a favorite movie of mine, Ella Enchanted. I haven't taken the proper time to watch TV in a while, so it was a nice change of pace.

Properly eating and hydrating - This is also something I struggle with. I understand how easy it is to get hyperfocused and forget about food in the midst of studying. I am thankful to have a girlfriend who will check in on me when she can to make sure my water bottle is filled if I have been busy throughout the day, but I have also set an alarm on my laptop to ding every 20 minutes. I'm using the Google Chrome extension "Water Reminder", which has been super helpful for me! It's not super cutesy and aesthetic like other Chrome extensions, but I like the simple ding that reminds me to drink water in case I haven't in a while. Hearing a reminder to drink water also allows me to check in with myself to see how I'm feeling in terms of hunger. I try to schedule meals times specifically for myself so that I can remember to eat. Some people are really great about intuitive eating, but I am unfortunately not one of those people. Keeping track of the time and keeping meals times at 7:30 - 8:00 am (breakfast), 11:00 am - 12:00 pm (lunch), and 5:00 pm (dinner/supper), I find it easier to keep up with eating so that I can stay healthy and nourished.

Studying - probably a more obvious "tip", but with my own addition. I like to romanticize the idea of studying. I use specifically colored pens, marker, and highlighters to make each of my notes in class and outside of class to keep myself focused. I love things that are artsy and colorful, so using lots of colors keeps my attention on the material.

Self care - I love face masks, body lotion, and moisturizers. I can't afford the super expensive skincare that you see on TIkTok and Instagram, but I have found some products that work well for me. I like the non abrasive Neutrogena face wash, Nivea body lotion (with shea butter - this also helped heal my tattoos!), and peach slices acne patches (my current lifesavers). Freeman is a brand that makes some really good face masks that have worked for my somewhat senstiive skin and they have a good variety so that you can find what you may be looking for you. They're an inexpensive brand (I think) that works pretty well. Even my sister who is into cosmetology and skincare and knows all the nitty gritty details about what ingredients are good recommended the brand to me so I definitely love to use those when I can (no more than twice a week, though; no need to wear down my face)

Get a study buddy - if you're like me and you find it easier to be productive with another body around, see if you can find someone to study with you or to at least hang around you while you work. As I saif before, a friend and I have been having little picnics outside in the nice weather to work, but I have also met up with others in a library space or a study room to keep myself prodcutive. Some days, I am really productive on my own and in my room, but other days, I really need a change of scenery. Being outside of the space where my lovely bed is and having someone else bear witness to how productive or not I am being is certainly a motivator.

I may discover new habits that can help me as I progress through the next month, but as of right now, these are the main things that are helping me.

[pyro-madder]

something i love about bb's french dub is that, as with all french dubs, you'll have the question of "you". singular "you" = "tu", informal, used between acquaintances or towards children. plural you = "vous", formal, professional, better use it with a stranger/someone you just met until you both agree to settle on tu well, apparently it's getting more common in the street for young adults at least to skip straight to tu but i absolutely hate it it's so intrusive aghdznsjdfglùhjmk

anyway. huntsmen + old hunter mobs will "tu" the player in their mad rants, nothing surprising. i burst out laughing when the vermin saif hunter dropped a fat "YOU STINK !" in the middle of our fight. Indoor Yharnamites (the misc ones, not NPCs) however say "vous", even as they're telling you off.

And NPCs ? All "vous." No matter how unfriendly they get, they keep that formality. Patches mocking you ? Vous. Annalise bossing you ? Vous. The disdainful narrow-minded man ? Vous. Gascoigne mopping the floor with you ? Vous. Djura regardless of whether you're still opponents, have a truce, or break said truce ? Vous, throughout it all. Lonely old dear will switch to tu once mistaking you for her son - makes sense, keeping "vous" within a family is an aristocrat thing, and to us plebeians it brings a sense of discomfort and emotional distance.

So besides that, the one exception ? Eileen. She skips straight to tu from her first quote, and imo it gives such a charm to her lines, in addition to the VA's already great voice and tone. She took one look at our Hunter and thought "you poor shmuck. you little fledging out of the nest" lmao. We've been over the whole dub being great, but for that bonus, I'd have to pick Eileen if I were asked to choose one favorite.

It's quite alright, I can understand that there are some things one only has the courage to do once inebriated. I should know, that's...a large part of how myself and Jonah came to be so close in the first place.

I would have been glad to meet you in person as well, your companions speak very highly of you. Though I am...surprised to hear that you share this sentiment. I am not typically someone people would...like to meet, or like to have met.

As for your- your indirect question about prefixes, I-....Ms. is fine. It's...fine.

Doing some concept doodles rn... franziska von karma you would LOVE the threaded cane

Anyways au rant under the cut

Okay so basically it's bloodborne but I'm swapping in ace attorney characters and changing a few things around so uh here are hy silly ideas/thoughts and feel free to dm me or reply with more ideas/questions if you wanna yap with me lol

Anyways

Things aren't going to play out 1-1 with the game just because the ace attorney characters and their relations to eachother make that uh kind of difficult. For example, instead of the mentor & apprentice/ father & daughter relationshipof Gehrman and Maria (thats how I interpretit anyways), Pheonix is going to be Mia's apprentice, and he learned everything from her instead of the other way around. That's a relativelylight example but there will likely be more extreme examples. There will be something there that fills a similar role but not the exact.

Anyways, the major character swaps right now are:

Good Hunter (protagonist) -> Maya & Franziska (they're going through Yharnam together bc I want them to lol)

Gehrman -> Pheonix

Plain Doll -> Trucy (also fills messenger role)

Laurence -> Edgeworth

Ludwig -> Blackquil

Lady Maria -> Mia

Father Gascoigne -> Gumshoe

Iosefka & Imposter Iosefka -> Iris & Dahlia

Alfred the Executioner -> Diego

Martyr Logarius -> Manfred

Master Willem -> Misty Fey

Eileen the Crow -> Apollo

Vicar Amelia -> Ema

Simon the Harrowed -> Athena

Micolash -> Kristoph

Saint Adeline -> Lana

Djura -> Klavier

Those are the ones I have thought out but they are also subject to change. I'm undecided on what to do for the Chapel Dweller and the rest of the Oedon squad, the suspicious beggar, Rom, and Valtr for Bloodborne characters (as well as others I mightve forgotten), and I want to try and include Pearl (might swap her w/ trucy for the Doll role, still thinking on that one), Kay, and Sebastian if I can find a place they fit well, as well as some other side characters like Will Powers, Adrian Andrews, etc etc. We'll see what fits where though.

Certain human (or once human/human like) characters will likely remain the same like Queen Yharnam and Queen Annalise because it would be weird to change them, and all the great ones would stay the same as well.

As for weapons & outfits, most NPC's will keep their normal weapons and clothes (with maybe some small tweaks & color changes to match them a little better) with the exception of trucy if she stays as the doll and Maya & Fran, who each will have their own player character builds (who I might go through the game with to test out if I get bored lol).

Franziska: she's going to have the Old Hunter's outfit (with a few minor swaps & the hat switched to the Yharnam Hunter gear). Her weapons are going to be the Threaded Cane (obviously) and hunter pistol at first but she might switch to the Evelyn or another gun later (idk though I never mess with the guns much lol). She might also grab another weapon as her secondary (maybe beasthunter Saif or Rakuyo) but I'm not sure on that yet. If she uses any hunter tools it'll probably only be Old Hunter Bone & Beast Roar. Basically primary dex build with a small risk of beasthood (bc werewolf Fran.... 😳).

Maya's is going to change a little more with her having a strength/arcane build (I feel like it makes sense with the spirit channeling stuff lol). She's gonna start the classic Sawcleaver until she gets Ludwig's Holy Blade later and eventually the Holy Moonlight Sword (might completely skip the holy blade depending on how I decide they progress). She's not really going to have a left hand weapon but instead is going to have a lot of the arcane hunter tools, specifically ones like augur of ebrietas, call beyond, etc (she will get them in like their normal places though). I'm still thinking on her outfit in the beginning but I think eventually she picks up the Choir Set or Executioner Set (leaning towards Choir atm though).

I have a bunch of like other plot things I'm thinking about (why they're in yharnam, great one interference, how the doll happened w/o it being mia, you know).

Anyways this was a lot of yapping that I'm probably just gonna talk about again if I post the doodles so yeah. May the good blood guide your way squad.
