Back on my bullshit

The Troupe by Robert Jackson Bennett
I am really glad I didn't pay actual money for this, libraries are a blessing of cursed objects

 

if you can't clearly distinguish between familial and romantic relationships
maybe you shouldn't be writing a book that hinges on family

 

alright, there is AN obligatory het epilogue but it's not with the girl who repeatedly turned him down so that's
something
even if it's pretty out of left field

 

het epilogue. hetilogue?

 

today's mood: pretzel up while drawing, accidentally pinch major blood vessel in hip near-closed without noticing until suddenly being Very Dizzy an unknown amount of time later when all the blood becomes Trapped In Leg

 

cold-weather layering reference, brought to you by -8F/-22C morning

knee socks>insulation leggins>regular socks>work pants (jeans). If it were wetter out, +snow boots and waterproof pants, but today is just Fucking Cold with no snow.

insulation shirt>work shirt>sweatshirt>insulated coat

the Outside Gear process is
Scarf (around neck AND lower face) > sweatshirt hood up, hat overtop (better coverage for not having long hair) > gloves > insulated coat with collar and hood both up.

 

avery grey is the poster child for dumb bitch disease and I love them

 

I am ride or die with my friends but any conversation that starts 'so I have a situation' is gonna be a RIDE

OW MY HEART

 

I'm not linking the whole thing til I've finished trespasser and thus the fic but

 

=0

 

look if you thought I wasn't going to write the entire dramatic getting-together over the course of trespasser I don't know who you've been friends with for the last three years

 

ah, we approach the Early To Being Early jitters
delightful

 

Spoiler: deleted lines I want to preserve even if they don't fit the piece

 

Spoiler: anxiety says spoiler so here we are

cole 1.0's abuse history is so much more obvious if you take the templar route and it. I mean it's there if you get him later too, but his intro (to the rest of the inq, not just the quizzie) is so much more fearful and flinchy and that just
resonates, I guess, in that uncomfortable way where I'm glad someone has clearly done their research but also too close too real
like it's great and I love him and I love that even when cole-the-kinning-spirit isn't outright telling you what happened those ingrained responses are still there (Dorian does well with this too, actually)
but also
I think. I need a break

I. really honestly do want a few pigeons

things I won't do: finish this screencap redraw from an mmo I no longer play
things I want to do: keep this screencap from an mmo I no longer play, because I do not remember the context but the zone chat visible is apparently an argument about ice cream
