This is what it looks like in daylight and low light. So gorgeous.

I like to know my writing partner. This isn’t always necessary, and if you’re not the sort of person who tries to get chummy with their roleplaying buddies, that’s absolutely fine, but in my experience, the plots and characters that last the longest are the ones with the players that I can message at 3 in the morning with an idea without feeling like I’m bothering them.

“That is should come to this!” “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking it makes it so.” “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” “Brevity is the soul of wit.” “And it must follow, as the night the day, though canst not then be false to any man.” “How bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man’s eyes!” “I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it.” “Now is the winter of our discontent.” “So wise, so young, they say, do never live long.” “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” “But love is blind, and lovers cannot see.” “I like not fair terms and a villain’s mind.” “The miserable have no other medicine but only hope.” “The better part of valour is discretion.” “A man can die but once.” “Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.” “There’s daggers in men’s smiles.” “Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.” “Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand?” “Fair is foul, and foul is fair.” “The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief.” “I have not slept one wink.” “Everyone can master a grief but he that has it.” “These words are razors to my wounded heart.” “You pay a great deal too dear for what’s given freely.” “The common curse of mankind–folly and ignorance.”
