AC Odyssey's 'Discovery Tour' mode is the best thing ever. No one wants to kill me, the fauna doesn't want to eat me, and I get to see such breath-taking landscapes it makes me drool all over my laptop.

I love Voss, it's like the planet of everlasting Autumn.

Ahiyah's and Zash's relationship was far from ideal from the very beginning. The end was inevitable.

Dejarik rematch with Lana. Syg didn't win this time, either, but I think he was appropriately compensated.

Ahiyah simply loves the date nights with his boyfriend, doing it as often as he can.

My absolutely all-time favourite line from the Inquisitor story.

Ahiyah, I hate being the one breaking it to you, but... You. Are. Cute. And I love you, with all of my heart.

(aka, the perks of being able to run my main for the third time in this game :3)

Simply breath-taking <3

I love 'Date Night'. It's just so cute.

And Theron, it was your idea in the first place. Don't be so surprised that Ahiyah decided to murder your datapad to death when you brought it to your date.

My friend called Rhyz's Yavin 4 stronghold an "Edge Lord Temple". Well... she's not wrong.

Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:

kill someone

ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong

switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone

stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write

write the ending

write a sex scene

use a scene prompt

use sentence starters

read someone else’s writing

Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.

Stellan Gios loves targons, and Stellan Gios has a whole collection of plush targons (thanks to Elzar Mann, partially, because Elzar being the troll he is, just could pass up the chance to give Stellan his first plush targon, and it got out of hand pretty soon.)

This is my headcanon from now on. Perhaps I'm gonna write a fic about it later, idk.

Imagine having a Sith Inquisitor OC for SWTOR...

1. If your OC saw or met a ghost, what would their reaction be?

2. If your OC otherwise does not believe in supernatural explanations/occurrences, is there one particular supernatural occurrence they would accept?

2a. What is their rationalization of it, and why is it different for them than any other? Did they have a prior experience with the subject in question?

3. If your OC generally accepts or believes in supernatural phenomena, is there a particular supernatural occurrence/explanation they do not accept?

3a. If so, what is their rationalization of it? Why is it different for them?

4. Which OC believes in a handful of supernatural phenomena, but not others? What criteria does a subject have to meet before this character will subscribe to believing in/accepting its existence?

Truer words have never been spoken. I'm generally not a Jedi Order fan, but yeah. C'baoth is a whole new fucking level of insufferable, entitled asshole.

However, I think I'd throw him into a Sarlacc pit instead.

I never thought i would ever hate a jedi but C'baoth just pisses me off so bad i literally want to chuck a garbage can at him. Y r u so mean. To like everyone. Like y u gotta be like that to everyone. Like fuck u bro ima chuck u down a reacter shaft vader style. Its literally indirectly his fault 50,000 people died.

I've encountered Luceno-books before, and I didn't like them.

Cloak of Deception was so damn boring I gave up somewhere around page 50.

Catalyst, I've read but was meh, at the best.

Tarkin, I've consumed as audiobook, but since Euan Morton has the uncanny ability of reading me to sleep in about 2 chapters of whatever he's reading in that soothing, velvety voice of his, I still have only a very vague idea of what the book is about. I only remember that Tarkin is a quite fucked up individual.

Now, Darth Plagueis was a very decent reading. Good, even. It's sure as hell a very much character-driven story, but it's absolutely not a problem, I liked it.

Dear James Luceno, feel free to count this as a win. I enjoyed Darth Plagueis much more than I expected.

I feel quite ambivalent with this one, so first things first, give credit where credit is due: I just adore the insane creativity of the world building and the magic system, the so obvious love of the author for his creation, the sensitivity and empathy of him when he touches hard subjects.

BUT. For me, there are so precious few characters who are even remotely likeable (Sazed on the top of this short list), they are just not gripping enough, and I know that it's just the first book of the series, but for Force's sake, if you have 640 pages to make me interested in your characters but you fail, I think there's a problem.

The supposed romance plot is. Just. Not. Working. I, as the reader, am expected to care for a romance that has no build-up like, at all. We see Vin and Elend meet perhaps two(!!!) times on different parties where they talk about ten sentences altogether. Then, out of the blue, they're in love, and telling each other important secrets. WHY? When did this happen? Did I miss something? It's just stupid, and it's just not working at all.

The godawful speech pattern given to one of the characters is... no. Just nope. Making characters speak in a funny but still understandable way is one thing (like Yoda in Star Wars), but here, it's just pure gibberish. Leave me the fuck alone.

If I never saw the word 'maladriotly' ever again, it still would be too soon.

Don't get me wrong, it was a positive reading experience overall, but I have no intention to continue this series right now.

The number of his braincells must be somewhere around my cat's... And FYI, my cat is dumb. And I love both of them with all of my heart.

Bayek is such a naughty boy.

(It was a takedown that simply ended in this particular position. I couldn't stop laughing for at least a minute)
