Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

Just realised I haven't shown off Turmeric's new look yet!

When I was first playing with adding mods for some visual uniqueness for new characters, I found this 'winter plait' in "More Hair 2" (by eleanorroos) and immediately fell in love with it for her. I was already planning on changing her hair anyway and this is absolutely perfect in how it looks like a natural evolution from her previous hair - even using the same bit of ear-covering fringe at the front.

I also changed the colour - just by removing the highlights - because all the turmeric's been beaten out of her hair by now, there isn't a hint of yellow left in there. Her current name is now more a remnant of a bygone time as she grows more distant from the 'just a normal bard' phase of her life, and it shows.

In the story, I'm saying the reason for her rapid hair growth is the effect of a wild magic surge from Honeymeans. It was down to her ankles at first, which Bingemir laughed himself silly to see when the next delivery arrived (and Hush was thankfully willing to help in cutting it). Turmeric definitely gained a new respect for Orin's giant braid as she desperately tried to wrangle her own mass of Rapunzel hair before it could continue to trail in the snow and catch against the ridges of the tomb's walls any longer.

Slight delay on the next chapter because I've been spending time with family - but it should be ready within the next five days!

I did find time to refine the structure of the upcoming chapters enough to confidently state we are about halfway through in terms of chapter count, however - meaning it should end at around chapter 16 (which is the same as more graves to dig, funnily enough. I guess that's the kind of story length I just gravitate towards?)

Guy who didnt satisfy his partner during sex cryign and punching himself in the balls going STUPID STUPID STUPID!!

Big fan of characters realizing they don't get to die. They have to live. And grow. And be a person. And deal with shit they thought they'd never have to. And be fucked up about it. I would like more of this. Enough dying for honor or as redemption. It ain't. You're just a corpse. There is no moral value in dirt time.

Another delay, of course, because the wretched functions of my body refuse to adhere to any reasonable timing, and prefer instead to ruin my perfectly good plans. But I'm not bitter or anything.

Hopefully will be out in the next few days despite my body's best efforts, but I guess we'll see, won't we?

My party has like no charisma, it’s terrible
