Someone explain to me why vegans have a problem with eggs, milk, and honey. They require the animal’s labor, not its life.
All food requires labor to some extent. If you see animal labor as precious and to be avoided, but human labor as fine, then I don’t understand your priorities.
And if your concern is a cruel industry, then the desire should be for radical change in the food industry, not an inherent opposition to specific foods.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐝: A story where you play as the vessel of an old eldritch horror after a ritual to summon a god went horribly wrong…
[ Demo TBA ]
You were supposed to be a sacrifice in order to bring an eldritch god to your realm, a sacrifice that was never supposed to live. Instead of dying and summoning the god intended, you find yourself face to face with an ancient being that was chained and locked away for the horrors they once committed.
Alzurahm is their name. A once revered god but now a pitiful creature made of bone and shadow. After finding themself free of their prison, they realise there is nothing to tether themself to, until you come into view.
They make you an offer. Become their host and allow them a taste of freedom and they will grant you power to ensure you both live.The catch is that their thoughts will become your thoughts, their weaknesses will become your weaknesses and their fears will become your fears.
But things are never as simple as they seem. After the revelation that you are more than just human, The Court of Night decides to utilise the mistake they made by brainwashing you and shape you into something of their own that most would come to know simply as: The Vessel—someone who no one wishes to see at their doorstep.
After being sent on a mission to eliminate a traitor of The Court, a series of unfortunate events throw you off the planned course and onto another where you then find yourself hunting an evil much greater than the ones you were taught about.
Will you remain a puppet of The Court or will you cut the strings that tie you to them?
— Play as a female, male or non-binary character and customise your Vessel.
— Romance one of four ROs: A woman with unmatched skill in marksmanship, an agile swordsman, a figure who walks quietly in the shadows, and the traitor themself.
— Reluctantly join forces with The Order of Solitar and save the future from the reigning chaos or join them simply to save yourself.
— Reunite with people you never thought you’d see again…though it may not be as heartwarming as you may think.
—Be part of the Resurrection of a God that is of far greater power than you think was possible.

Vira Duval [F] — Romanceable by f!MCs and nb!MCs
Vira has the sharpest eye Providence has to offer. Events of the past has led her to build a wall of safety around her, but there is a crack in that wall created by the few people she trusts and it is a crack that can be easily exploited if you so wish.
She is a tall woman, standing tall with a posture only nobles could have. Her skin is fair with faint scars that run along her back which were inflicted upon her when she was young. Much like her personality, her blue eyes are cold and calculating. She has hair of silk that reaches down to her lower back with a colour that is often compared to the feathers of a raven.
She is the twin sister of Aurius, older by three minutes.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐍
Aurius Duval [M] — Romanceable by all MCs
Aurius has refined mastery of all blades though his preferred weapon is a sword that was gifted to him by a friend. Unlike his sister, he is kinder and easier to speak with. Many have said that comfort is easy to find in him.
Like Vira, he is quite taller, almost by a head but he lacks the noble posture as she does. His skin is fair, clear of scars save for a tiny sliver by his lip. His eyes are a light blue that holds serenity and like the feathers of a raven, his hair is the same dark colour that is cut short and pushed back.
He is the twin brother of Vira, younger by three minutes.

Rhian Scott [F/M/NB] — Romanceable by all MCs
Rhian is an expert of stealth, quietly making their way through conflict without being seen or heard. When they are out of the shadows, they tend to be charismatic and a bit flirty. But if they so wished, they could become just as serious as the jaded marksman.
They are of average height with skin kissed by the sun. There is a beauty mark just under the left side of their lips and their eyes shine a bright amber shade that could act as a torch. They have dark brown hair that seems to shift into red when hit by sunlight. F!Rhian tends to keep her hair long past her shoulders whereas m!Rhian and nb!Rhian tend to keep theirs short.

Ilya Roson [F/M/NB] — Romanceable by all MCs
Your former partner and a traitor of The Court. Before they burned the bridges between you and The Court, they were kind and understanding, even a bit protective. But it is unknown whether or not it was all an act.
They are of average height, leaning towards the tall side. Their porcelain skin is smooth but with markings carved into the palms of their hands. Their hair is wavy, reaching just past their shoulder with the colour of silver. There is a storm that rages behind their grey eyes, fury and hatred burning within. But when they look at you, the storm begins to settle and is replaced by guilt and regret.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐆𝐎𝐃
Alzurahm [M/NB]
The horror that lives within you. They feed you power and often…their opinions. Only you can see them as they have no physical body anymore. They enjoy pretending to be what they aren’t—human.

Elias [M]
A leader of Providence. He is someone whom you thought was long lost—your older brother.
And the sworn enemy of The Court of Night.

Tiberius Cabas [M]
The man who raised you as The Vessel.
Behind the evils he’s commited, there is a part of him that still cares for you even though he shouldn’t.

Hey, I’m Zico!
The Night Abridged is intended for 17+ audiences due to the content warnings: Body horror, strong language, violence, blood & gore and possibly more. It may be changed to 18+ in the future!
This is a project of mine that I’ve been daydreaming about lately so I thought I’d try my hand at turning it into an IF. I’m a sucker for romances so there won’t be platonic routes. Apologies to anyone who’s disappointed with that!
Reblogs are much appreciated! Thanks for checking out this post! I’m still getting used to tumblr but if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up and send an ask.
There is currently a massive (and growing) bundle of games available on itch.io with money raised going to Abortion Funds in the wake of the attack on reproductive freedom in the US Supreme Court.
It may seem like a small thing to buy some indie games for just $10 but bundles like this are a fantastic way to contribute real tangible good to the world. 700+ game designers said that they care enough to give up the collective profit on their games so that we could collectively raise money to effect change in reproductive justice. Get some really phenomenal games, and use them to recharge after taking action in the streets or fighting back in other ways. We are in for a long fight and preventing activist burnout is the only way we can win.
