Erin Lecount, Sweet Fruit

FUCK. honestly just FUCK. We missed a very important day yesterday.

Oh, I'm no innocent. But evil? Well, you tell me. With the Fist and the Watch and the Council itself all licking the Absolute's boots, who's the only one left standing to protect Baldur's Gate? ↳ ASTELE “NINE-FINGERS” KEENE👋🗡️

studying.... ummm

the real true purpose of having a brain is to think about fictional characters

look at these two characters…wouldn’t it be a shame if they…tenderly rested their foreheads together…

i'll reach you

Jaheira needs a full spa day and I am ready to deliver it

EVERYBODY stop what you’re doing and look at my CHILD

She has a pillow.

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.

Some say it's a force of cavalry, others of foot,

others of ships, but I say that the most beautiful thing

upon the black earth is whatever it is you desire.

It's easy enough to make this plain to all:

for she who was far more beautiful than any woman of mortal race,

Helen, abandoned her husband - the best of men -

and went sailing off to Troy; she remembered neither her child

nor her much-loved parents, but Aphrodite(?)

led her astray . . .

[This] has made me think of Anactoria, who isn't here.

Her step, which stirs desire, and the bright sparkle of her face,

are dearer sights to me than the chariots of Lydia,

and armed men fighting on foot.

Sappho, Fragment 16.
