Acid Washed Dragons

Ok y’all know I have the attention span of a termite and will probably forget to add to this list as I post new ones, but here are all the audiovisual thingies I’ve put on AO3 as of today. This is sort of a redundant way to link stuff, but I realized that AO3 is a perfectly applicable place to put these and some people do prefer to discover things on that platform.

Varl got.......some convos at the base, but not more than anyone else.

HFW very obviously tried to accommodate people whose first game in the series was HFW (that's not necessarily a complaint, but I'm just saying this was obvious to me in both the writing and in some game mechanics). It's therefore weird to me that the game would have a major character death without giving you a chance to spend sidequest time with him to better develop that friendship first (or alternatively, to give seasoned players a "chance to say goodbye").

Don't get me wrong, it's sad that he dies. I like him. His dynamic in HZD was interesting, a really refreshing departure from shallow "hey, we're both young, let's bang" archetypes, and I suspect relatable for all the players with, er, strong-willed parents. I was glad to see him come back in HFW and it's sad that he won't come back for the third game (unless flashbacks?).
