His mouth quirks up again. “I could.” “Could what?” you ask. “I could understand,” he insists emphatically, “If you only let me in.” You escape from the anxieties and uncertainties of your life to a remote cabin in the woods, hoping a week of solitude will help you make progress on your novel. You’re not alone. Something watches from the shadows. And it wants.

Rating: Explicit Pairing: Perpetua / Gender-Neutral but AFAB Reader-Insert (that is to say, no gendered pronouns or terms are used, but Reader has a vagina) Notes and Tags: Monsterfucking, Perpetua is a were-bat cryptid type thing, Intoxication (alcohol and vampire hypnosis 👀), Cunnilingus, Vampire Bites, Blood Drinking, Knotting, Dubious Consent (in the beginning)

“You never know what you are going to want until you see it clearly.” (from The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson)

Night Four.  

You tell yourself you’re crazy.

That you opened the window before you climbed into bed. That it was just a (really) bizarre dream brought on by the unfamiliarity and isolation of the cabin. That the solitude is getting to you and making you imagine these things.

But after you pour a cup of coffee for yourself and open the door to step out onto the porch, you freeze.

Your stomach twists.

A single flower sits in the center of the generic little welcome mat. It’s small and delicate, purple petals around a bright yellow center, and it’s laid in such a way that it looks deliberate. Someone put it there for you to find.

Level 9 portrait for my Curse of Strahd / She is the Ancient witch boy, Victoro di Terzo.

With his messed up eye that got* poked out by his raven and replaced by a weird eye with three irises.

*"got" as in he did it himself XD

All previous portraits done for respective level ups:

“It’s tempting to assume”: someone’s assumption is about to be criticized

In all cases, these statements serve as the prologue to some correction for a mistaken assumption, as explained above.

In the first case, the word "easy" is used to emphasize that the mistake is common, natural, and understandable, and that there is no shame for being mistaken on the given matter of topic. This is a very common turn of phrase.

In the second case, the word "tempting" is used to emphasize that the mistake is born out of some desirable motive. The biases that caused one to form the mistaken assumption as potentially sympathetic to the corrector. This is an less common, but known, turn of phrase, implying a harsher critique.
