I know that the answer to a lot of my questions are ‘it looked cool on camera’ and the inconsistences is 'because they rewrote the script several times’ but I’m in the middle of writing a fic and I decided to try and make some sense of this messy lore. It’s a bit long so its under the cut.
The writing demons have told me to rework Ven Aak Hi,,,, will I actually get around to it? Who knows. I’m rereading it as it’s weirdly gotten some more attention recently and I’m realizing it’s,,, really not up to par with my more recent (that’s funny as I haven’t posted in over a year) works. Nothing huge, but a few plots things and details that’s bugging me. Wording, grammar. I’ll post a chapter in it when/if I do if anyone is still subbed to it to let them know.
I also got an iPad for my business and I think I’ll bring it to my full time job so I can write on breaks. Because god I really need to start taking those. Fuck retail and fuck how it ruins your body. I’m tired of killing myself for it 😒
asking anonymously bc i made an account ✨specifically✨ for this, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love your fic, ‘what the water gave me’!! I found it yesterday and didn’t stop reading until, like, 5 am — then forced myself to sleep and picked it straight back up as soon as I woke 😭 that being saiddd, you can probably imagine my despair when I saw that it hasn’t been updated since last year ☹️ I hope you’re okay and that the story hasn’t been abandoned. You are truly so so talented!!
Love u bye

Hi!!
Omg I’m so glad you love it?? 🥺😭 it’s not been abandoned, I actually have a solid chunk of the next chapter done and the next couple arcs planned out, I just have been insanely busy, new full time job, and also running my small business, and lots of life stuff 🥲 the next chapter has also been a literal bear to write. I hope it’ll be worth the wait tho, it’s uh, spicy 😅😅
“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it
I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you
This was me yesterday when I saw someone thinking paint 3D was the original MS paint
they thought what…
my favorite thing about this post is that it originally started like this but someone snuck in another bullet along the way when you could still edit other people’s posts. the depth. the history. the tumblr lore. mystery author, i know you’re out there somewhere…

Some fluffy head canons I have about the Baldurs Babes
mainly at camp :)
Gale stops tav to lace their boots, sarcastically tutting as he does it.
Karlach holds her hands round someones bowl and cups to warm them if they cool down too much. (Mama K microwave™)
Jaheira and Halsin share nightcaps and chat about the tadpole team. Mainly laughing at their comparative lack of experience - always ends on a ‘they’re good eggs tho’ vibe.
Astarion and Shadowheart rate people’s hair to eachother as an injoke, tav hears them mumbling numbers behind them whenever they speak to someone.
Lae'zel asks Gale to explain and pronounce things when no one is around because the 'annoying wizard’ won’t make fun, he’s too eager to teach.
Jaheira has the best bedtime stories but they get Karlach hyped up and she asks a lot of questions till Astarionbegs her to be quiet. Wyll takes mental notes for his own storytelling.
Karlach will force a game of 'I Spy’ any time there is silence on the road.
Wyll is very good at little random gifts, he just remembers anything someone mentions to him. He’s also low-key emotional if you return that kindness, 'you remembered?! 😭’
Halsin stops, kneels and whispers as he points and shows tav interesting plants or animals he spots when walking. 'look there’s the mother and her babies’ type shit. (He is camp dad(dy) ok)
Wyll teaches Lae'zel fencing. She’s too keen though and tries to pin him down. She is not as graceful… But she has fun… chk!
Gale keeps a tiny portrait of Tara on him, you can’t tell me modern au Gale’s phone wouldn’t be full of cat pics.
Astarion watches over the camp at night, he acts like he 'might as well/ I’m the only one lurking in the dark around HERE darlings’ but sometimes he secretly gets a little teary looking at his first real friends all together.
Shadowheart writes moody poetry. She would tell Gale but she doesn’t care for his taste… Or his possible critiques. If he ever did find her journal though he would be VERY enthused.
Astarion and tav will play with people’s wardrobes when looting. Tav loves a funny hat and Astarion will do impressions of who he thinks would wear such god’s awful attire.
Gale and Wyll play chess together after dinner some nights. They both say progressively cheesy lines when they take pieces, which is its own game itself at this point.
Halsin would quietly sing or hum to owlbear baby and scratch at night. Little lullabies and he’d probably tuck them in too. OR he’d be big daddy bear and snuggle up, especially when owlbear is scared and misses his mum.
The gang have played 'never have I ever’ ONE time and ONE time only. It was a messy night.
