[ 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 ] : sender has just found the receiver who's been missing for weeks.
“Hello again, Bernadetta.” (Though they do not smile, there is a hint of amusement in their voice.) “I imagine your sudden disappearance was on purpose?”
Lin wouldn’t be surprised if so—with how often Bernadetta took to her lonesome, it was only a matter of time until she vanished without a word. (Or maybe there was a word—just not to the masses of Garreg Mach.)
Of course, it also could’ve been that she was kidnapped and just recently rescued. Linhardt wouldn’t know.
“So, how was your time in perfect isolation?” he continues, hardly taking a moment to pause. “Find any new hobbies? Sculpting, perhaps?”
* for you i would.
i'm learning to become all the space i need.
"more water for you, less water for you—a cute little bug for you, and a sprinkle of fertilizer for your neighbor! wow, that stuff's stinky. almost as stinky as that owen dart guy." and bernadetta gets professor dark's name wrong on purpose just because, a jolly little hmph and hum in tow as she tends to her plant children. so caught up in herself she is that linhardt's presence sneaks up on her like an afternoon shadow.
"eep! lin, li-linhardt!" she sputters, watering pail fumbling in her hands; it jostles between her grasp a few times before she finally catches ahold of it, both arms crushing the tool to her chest with a heavy slosh. bernadetta spins around to him with puffed cheeks and a tiny stomp of her foot.
"bernie almost had a heart attack! how are you so quiet, huh? like a sneaky garden snake, but fluffier!" all huffed without any real bite—if anything she's more embarrassed that he might have overheard her gibberish.
come to think of it, though, linhardt is probably the first person she's really had to speak to in... how many skipped lectures was it now? probably longer than what was socially acceptable. simmering down some, bernadetta sets down the watering pail and fiddles with her thumbs behind her back, swaying in place while avoiding his gaze.
"well, um," she starts, miles gentler and with a tinge of shame, "yes? uh-oh, you're not here to tell me our professors are upset, are you? and instead of new hobbies, it's more like bernie's been hiding with old ones..."
like gardening, an arm meekly gestures. "... but you found me, so now what?"

Aposematism is when a poisonous or otherwise gross/ dangerous/ unprofitable species uses pretty, bright colours (or some other noticeable signal) to warn predators “Do Not Eat!”
Unfortunately, many predators are not born knowing this, so they generally have to learn through trying something new and having a very unpleasant experience!
AKA: aposematism (usually) relies on predator learning!

the real degenerates in the fandom arent ppl who like controversial characters but people who think like this😟
rough translation of the top two comments:
"Rhaenyra should have impaled Alicent's womb with a sword and cut her from her c*nt to her head"
"that sounds like something Cersei would do, but Rhaenyra is too kind"

right i tried to work on the new TRT chapter, and my mind is just fucking out right now, so I’m gonna go to bed I think and work on the rest tomorrow. Got maybe 3k more to edit, and if I’m lucky, the plagiarist will have taken it all down by the time I wake up and I’ll be in a better mood.
