gabrielle saying that for the few minutes xena's soul was possessing her body she felt warm and protected..... what if you did horrible things in your past and felt like an irredeemably bad person and you were a warrior who doesn't have it in her to give up the fight and you thought that made you bad beyond saving but then this woman you've fallen in love with (against all odds) tells you that for a few minutes when she could feel your spirit inside of her and truly understand what it was like to be you, she felt nothing but safe and warm and loved and protected. what then. 😐
The European stereotype of American ice cube consumption is sadly accurate as I’ve just realized I have at least 28 ice cubes in my water cup. The Europeans would kick me out if I ever tried to cross the pond, I fear.
The wife and I went to a hockey game last night. I present to you my unsolicited BG3 hockey thoughts:
Gale - would be the announcer (and we all know why)
Lae’zel - she wouldn’t understand the game, but she would love the fighting (she’d probably shank someone with a broken hockey stick)
Karlach - she would understand the game and the fighting would be a toss up; she wouldn’t start a fight, but she’d defend her teammates; I’d probably make her a goalie (after her heart gets fixed so she can’t melt the ice, obvs)
Halsin - would understand the game, but is too gentle for fighting; he might be backup goalie
Minsc - does not understand the game, would love the fighting, really just wants a hotdog
Astarion - couldn’t care less, just wants good wine, would be too afraid to break a nail (I will not be apologizing for that statement)
Minthara - would understand the game, would love the fighting, would try to poison the other team
Shadowheart - would sort of understand the game, but would miss every single goal
Wyll - understands the game, but would just want to skate because it’s like dancing (also not apologizing)
Oathbreaker Paladin - would understand the game and would be amazing at it, would probably fight especially if it meant someone was breaking an oath
Dame Aylin - was there when the game was invented and played in the first ever league, she single-handedly started hockey fights
Nine-Fingers Keene - would understand the game, would probably fix the game where she would come out on top regardless of the winner, would also enjoy fighting and would shank someone with a broken hockey stick (no probables there)
Rion - she’s got some anger issues and I think would understand the game and would also love to kick some ass
Zevlor - would understand the game, would love the fighting, would probably be quite good
Orin - would understand the game, would love the fighting and would also shank someone with a broken hockey stick (although she might stab her own teammates, which is problematic)
Jaheira - would be the team mom and alternate between cheering on the fighting and being upset about the fighting
Ketheric Thorm - would be the team dad and would love the fighting
Isobel Thorm - just there to watch Aylin, but knows everything about the game because of Aylin
Gortash - too busy trying to become the hockey commissioner to care about the game or the players
Volo - thinks he’s the announcer, but really there to entertain children with his nonsense
Withers - referee
Scratch and the Owlbear - mascots

Could you reblog this if you enjoy seeing your writer friends ramble about their wips on your dash?
Gonna chill out the rest of May and then change my entire life in June. Possibly July if that doesn't work out. Certainly no later than September or October.
Oh? You've got some juicy little tidbit I haven't heard yet?
stop playing it cool, just be passionate and intense and insane and whoever sticks around is meant for you
I’d like to feed you chocolates, then watch you run around in a forest.
Nevermind that you’re naked.
I have the Wright Brothers in my office because if they can invent fucking flight, I can send an email.
highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective.
Can I figure out how to write more chapters of my minlach fic? No. Can I draw these two for hours? Yes.
