Excellence in Mediocrity

some other colors for you all to pick your poison

I want trees instead of gravestones, nothing to confess I got a soft spot for your ancient books of horror stories

I got a music in my ear from long, long, ago and far, far away And I still hum it’s tune, how could I ever believe every word it says to me? We follow our own steps, while our shadows keep watching us The wrong step would be not to start this exodus

‘heavy weighs the head’ - noctis lucis caelum

YES COLE PLEASE HE NEEDS YOU.

– when nobody's watching

Has anyone paid attention to how Astarion's tent reflect on his personality?

The exteriour side is clean and elegant. There are pillows, a carpet, an expensive mirror, even a fucking plant (headcanon - Astarion is into gardening). His tent is probably the most well-maintained in the whole camp.

But take a look inside (it's difficult since he blocks the entrance) - it's a mess.

There are empty bottles with blood (as if he is an alcoholic who doesn't bother to take out the garbage). There is no bed (Halsin is also an Elf but he has a bedrol in his tent) - it's just wooden plank, a piece of rag for a blanket and some sorry excuse for a pillow. His tent is a mess like this room who belongs to an addict or a depressed person. It's dirty, full of garbage. And he doesn't have a comfortable place for sleep!

In act 3, if you move your camp to the Elfsong tavern (where you can have an actual bed) you can see the same blanket thrown over his bed. He has a comfortable bed with silky sheets. He doesn't need that old blanket, but he still keeps it around for a reason.

When you go to cazador's palace in the spawns dormitory, there are beds with this same type of blanket. One of the beds (middle bottom) is where we could assume he slept, because it's the only bed that has no blanket. He's left with it.

It's probably one of the very few things that he really owns, so he holds on to it and cherishes for as long as he can.

Loki's Dream

I am nothing if not embarrassingly predictable. Can we pretend that I'm just a very forgiving, empathic, and patient person? And the way that all my favorite characters are… nothing but wholesome and respectable people gives you no reason to question my judgement?

They’re finally finished and I’m so happy with them!!
