thank you very much! I couldn't resist a bit of McBeck for this one, and I'm incapable of writing anything under 100 words, so have a little one shot!

I know this is only supposed to be three sentences... but I couldn’t help myself. :.:

Yennefer could smell him before she heard him, the scent of earth, blood, death, and a life long-lived on the road invading her senses as soon as the door creaked open. Goosebumps bloomed on the back of her neck.

“Yen,” Geralt said. His gruff and then smooth voice was like a strong Novigrad brandy. It had been too long since she’d last seen him. “This is–”

“Ciri,” Yen whispered without turning around. It didn’t take sight to know who was standing there beside Geralt. The world might be dark to her now, but she could feel Ciri’s vivid, luminescent aura.

You think I don’t see you with your Laura Roslin icon? I WOULD KNOW THAT FACELESS HAIR ANYWHERE.

Spoilers, but yes.  I wonder why Beth made the choices she did with writing Sully that way in the first place.  It did feel like they were pushing the boundaries too much with him and he became more reckless and selfish and just dumb.  I would be unhappy too if I were him but it does make you question what Beth was trying to do or what she was trying to accomplish long term by going in that direction with the character.

That game fucking terrifies me. I'm jumpy as fuck and that game hits every jumpy bone in my body.

Honestly it’s such shit -- G’s miserable playing it, the storyline is miserable, the zombies are miserable, the world is bleak and monochromatic, and like I don’t need to be playing monkey island (at all times), but like....this shit is ugly, 100% depressing, and there’s literally no joy, not even when you do good things. Fucking who wants that???

I was in gamestop yesterday talking with the guy there about game recs, and I mentioned not being into this or fallout bc of the constant bleakness, and he started reccing like....humour based games and I’m like -- it’s not about the ease, I like difficulty and puzzles, I like fighting and combat, and I don’t mind a bit of grit and angst (hur hur, it’s me I cried over Mary Reade in AC4), but like....this shit is ugly and wack.

A drabble for @belleoftheballpoint and her gorgeous artwork of OQ sexytimes in Camelot, here.

She has him surrounded – velvet and skin, the silk of her hair, those gasping moans when their mouths meet again.

Robin had meant to take his time with her (now that their timing is finally right), but helpless to how that crimson clings to her lips, those curves, he sinks into her warmth with every intention to drown.

She's everywhere – she’s everything – as their bodies come together, sliding over too much fabric while they climb to delirious heights.

I wonder if the shift ultimately backfired for them considering CBS didn’t want to continue the show past season 6.  Maybe it was too much towards that darker, more dramatic side and it lost the family-friendly element.  Oh well.  We just have to deal with what was given to us.  I do definitely like some of those darker themes and they make for good episodes but I can see how it might have been a little too much.
