Posted a chapter to a fic last night that I edited and took different parts out for the next chapter. Immediately went to go check the next chapter and found the Google doc empty. Was SO mad until I remembered version history 🫠
That was almost a rip to 3k+ words. God is real, my dudes 🙏😂
Ready to kneel before your new goddess of Silver and Shadow? Good, because in just a few days, my new smut fic drops, featuring you, dear reader, and goddess Shadowheart. 🙏
the only better moon lesbians are shadowheart × selunite tav
I think they should hug 24/7... They were made to hug each other.
"Would u still love me if I was a worm" energy
It's honestly a rip off we don't get nothin from the companions, especially your lover. C'mon Larian pls 🙏
I am once again lamenting how neglected resist!Durge has been for months. The final climactic scene to their arc is met with some of the most milquetoast companion reactions I've ever seen.
We literally die.
Like Durge just stops being alive. Where's the angst? The emotion? None of this half-assing shit, give us the shock and denial. Hell, give us weeping! Make it unflattering, because loss can be ugly.
I wouldn't even be opposed to Withers not showing up immediately? Maybe they have to physically drag Durge's dead body back to camp. Show us Gale using the only revival scroll he has and his face falling when it doesn't work. Shadowheart being the healer, desperately expending all her energy to bring you back to life as a last hail mary. Minthara not caring that Bhaal is a god, vowing to make him pay. Lae'zel threatening you to wake up, and the devastation that follows when she realizes you won't. Wyll thinking of bargaining his very soul to Mizora just for the chance she could bring Durge back. Astarion and Karlach praying to whatever gods they can think of even though they don't believe in them anymore.
Show the grief, the exhaustion. Then Withers appears.
As it stands, the emotional weight of what happens to Durge gets resolved so quickly, there's never a moment for any of us to really react to it.
It's an issue all across the game tbh. Why do the companions have no reaction to Kressa's reveal that she tortured Durge? Why are there no consequences to your relationships when they find out you were behind the Absolute plan? Outside of Astarion, the other romanceable companions have very little unique interactions with Durge, which is a shame because there are plenty of them who share many parallels to Durge's experience of being used by a god/higher-power.
I feel like I'm playing the world's smallest violin when I complain about the lack of resist!Durge content because good god, Wyll and Minthara are fighting for their lives over here. But man, it really sucks knowing that patch 7 is allegedly Larian's last big content patch. Like if there was ever going to be an update where this sort of thing was added, it had to be this one. But it doesn't seem like Larian has any intention of closing the content disparity gap.
honestly Shadowheart is just so funny because there are so many just ridiculous details about her character. she's worships an EVIL goddess. she has a cool goth drow mother figure who's also evil. she's goth and wears evil armor for her evil goddess only. she has stigmata. she was kidnapped into an evil cult. she has amnesia. she tortures her parents for her evil cult. she is half werewolf. she's the evil chosen one. her name is fucking SHADOWHEART.
like individually those are all just like insane edgelord character creation choices that would earn most people side eye at least if they tried to put more than one of these in their character. But Shadowheart has so many of them that its just like "yes yes, of course she does this is so her, what other ridiculous nonsense is there?"
Got shadow banned on cod, guess that means I have no choice now but to spend my weekend writing (as if I didn't already want to write anyway)
stop treating killing dragons as this act of bravery and valor. maybe ou should be kissieng and loving the dragons instead. and be more niceys
