we shouldn't save marriage but we should save divorce
Chapter 8!
I like to call this one "why you should actually eat your dinner and get some rest, Turmeric". Alas, it seems she'll never learn.
And we’re off! Next story is up on AO3, and updates should come at least once every ten days as with previous (I just realised I’m working off a tenday-based schedule, this was not intentional), and I will try to post here in case of a delay.
lae’zel: we had the chance to free orpheus within our grasp and you refused raphael’s deal? why??

Just uncovered this recording from early access that Scratch desperately wanted to be a part of.
The current mood
Now, planning my own post-game narrative without the structure of the game as a guide may be tricky to make complete and satisfying but, honestly, I am just so glad to be out of realm of writing Act 3 that I barely even feel it.
Act 3 is definitely my least favourite in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to trying to make a narrative out of it. There's so much going on that it just feels impossible to cover it all, so I had to resort to time skips and just covering the bits that'll be relevant later for my own sanity, but then it felt like I was glossing over things and worrying that would make everything feel all disjointed and, ugh.
And act 3 is so loud as well, I got so overstimulated all the time, there's all these people endlessly milling about everywhere and everyone's talking constantly - and those bloody magicians outside Sorcerous Sundries, oh my god, don't even get me started. That's probably why I like Act 2 so much, come to think of it. It's nice and dark and quiet out there, there's no one around but you and your friends unless you intentionally go to a population centre like Last Light. I find it very soothing for an area that was definitely intended to be horrific.
So, yeah, glad to be out of there.
Anyway, back to planning.
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
