Just finished a replay of HZD, started a new replay of HFW. I'd forgotten that Ulvund calls Aloy "Walloper of Dervahl, Gutter of Helis," and honestly, if I were Aloy I might choose the latter as my preferred epithet.

"Training" in Sandwhisper Valley, the relentless sandstorms soon scoured away the carefully maintained layer he'd spent so many years constructing between his innermost desires and the outside world. All of it exposed. All of it laid bare before the sun.

"And it has found me...again."
Scene from chapter 5 of Red Sands, a very nsfw Horizon fic. Please be aware of warnings before going in (there's a reason it's in my Fucked Up (affectionate) bookmarks). Really good read though.

Illiam, what would you do if one of your soldier friends or cousins or something wanted to borrow Helis to torture for fun?
Imagine the soldiers asked in front of both Helis and Illiam 😈😈
Honestly, provided these guys were socially Illiam's inferiors he would find this relatively easy to shrug off. How impertinent of you to presume to 'borrow' something that belongs to Lord De Graer for some petty reason of your own! You would get a flat stare, possibly an insult, and then he'd probably tell Helis to hurry up and get whatever-equipment-of-the-day they're carrying already.
Somebody like, say, his brother (who outranks him but with a certain amount of familiarity allowed) would be more difficult. In this situation you might get a cold and peevish lecture about how Helis isn't here for fun, they're a resource, and why must everybody else be so.... so inefficient and frivolous? unlike the rest of you Illiam is actually taking this invasion seriously and he's far too busy to have his stuff borrowed and damaged because you're bored. Go find some village peasant drab to bother. Or better yet, actually do something useful.
And then I think he would probably lose his temper at Helis and tell them this is why he told them to stay close and not attract any attention, do they WANT him to just let his brother have them? And then he would probably be very quiet and moody for the rest of the day, and not let Helis out of his sight for a while.

✨ CHAPTER 16 IS OUT! ✨ Mark of the Sun – "Shattering Into a Thousand Pieces"
Against all odds — and despite July and August being the most hectic time of the year work-wise — I somehow managed to finish this chapter. 😵💫 I’ll need a miracle to get back to a more regular writing schedule in September, but realistically, we’re probably looking at October for the next update.
In the meantime, I’ll keep posting any writing-related updates over on this blog, for those who want to follow along.
This chapter marks a shift — in tension, in intimacy, and in how much Aloy can still pretend she’s in control. 💔 Confessions are made. 🕯 Old grief resurfaces. 🔥 And the fire that binds her to Helis… might burn deeper than she’s ready to admit.
As always — thank you for reading 🖤
Against all odds… I’ve finished the first draft of Chapter 16! 😳🔥
I honestly didn’t think I’d manage it before leaving, but here we are. Hopefully, during my days in Germany, I’ll find a moment to go through it and polish it — which means the next update might arrive much sooner than expected. 🤞✨ Fingers crossed!
