Back on my bullshit

today's pathfinder highlights:

 

well tonight sure has been. something

 

still not going back to archeage but man. I have such nostalgia for pulling off weird harmless inter-faction heists like "swim across the ocean to steal a free starter mount bc the mount npcs won't hostile you and Collect Em All"

 

how dare nobody have written fic for My Player Character, Specifically
what do you mean I have to write it if I want to read it, that sounds fake

 

oh look, after "we tried novels again and broke the base with queerbaiting" and "you know what, no story for anyone" wizards has returned to putting their stories online for free again :)

 

I don't know which reaction to pick but boy howdy I'm certainly feeling Something

 

last day at retail hell gooooo

 

ok ok ok ok

I think... I like new job
I'm tired, yeah, but it's brain-tired after 8 hours of new skill and info acquisition (and an extra of snow shovelling lmao), not bone-deep leave-me-on-the-floor-to-die exhausted after 6 hours like it was in ANY department of retail

 

anyway birdbuilding here
edit is on bc I had to share it with my dm and I don't think I can change the link without kicking him/removing his edit privs but pls to not editing

 

rgb remains an eternal parenting mood

 

Oh fuck I should catch up on That!

 

hey costar who gave you permission to read me for filth

 

liking job datapoint: legit annoyed at having to miss work, I keep going "what do" at this sick day and brain keeps pinging back Work Tasks? Do work thing? Play with microscope and epoxy?

 

the amount of rearranging I do for trashfire worldstate's timeline is directly related to how horrible I can make it
anyway
since at least one companion can reference 'that Warden you brought back' if you talk to them after grabbing Hawke+Warden but before actually completing HLTA, Curiosity is gonna get dragged to Halamshiral before HLTA to pick up Morrigan and then Samahl can show up between the two for Ultimate Origins Reunion Catfight
leli, alistair, morrigan (and kieran!), and samahl shoved into the same castle, wherein samahl 1) left leliana for dead in the brecilian forest, 2) had a messy breakup with morrigan but still kinda worries about her, and 3) has almost definitely had at least one awkward conversation with alistair, between "you did what with Morrigan to kill the archdemon?" and "uh anyway I'm just gonna....... Not be a Warden anymore........... bye"

 

bonus round: sees bull in the rest like "oh my god yall do have horns, sten didn't so I thought the humans were bullshitting like they do about us"

 

curiosity like 'anyway I wanna wear light blue, I never get blue' and josie crying in the background because do you know the implications of blue in Celene's court and you are going to get blood all over it and please there's only so many colors we can get enough fabric for everyone in on such short notice-
