As Thancred told it, Urianger didn't leave anytime for a "congratulations" before he returned to Rowan's side.

Woe betide the man who stands against the Weapon of Light, for death is his reward. Death for him and his kin and all he holds dear
I wanted to check out Brio and Ktisis and give them a try. I must say, I am quite happy with the result. This took me only about an hour or so fresh. Its so much faster than Anamnesis, so expect more gposes soon

Have some good Frog content after I inflicted weird stuff from my screenshots on you all :'D
She's an all jobs all the time type warrior, but these are favourite looks. She takes a lot from her friends when it comes to the same jobs, right down to commissioning a replica Shtola dress which she would never wear in front of her and is strictly for swooshing around town in, on the assumption that if anyone writes gossip rags about how the WoL is dressing today, Shtola does not read them.
It took a clear year to obtain Amon's hat, with Frog finally winning the fight with fellow fashion conscious adventurers to wrest it from his head mere weeks before Endwalker hit, so there's a very narrow window where she really enjoyed the vibe, but then got so emotionally compromised she threw the thing out as soon as she got home to a glamour dresser after her trip to Elpis... Obviously she's been through a lot but being peppy and looking on the bright side and dressing fun to cheer herself and others up is very important and so outwardly mourning the damn hat might seem like the biggest trauma she incurred in recent months if you just asked her how she's doing and that's what she blurted out.
... She does also absolutely wear the open fronted coat with otherwise identical gear to Thancred in front of him, in an attempt to get him to ditch the armour underneath his coat and show a little skin. So far, no success. Neither to inspire Urianger to wear the hat.

What Does Your Heart Look Like?
Tumblr media
@sajiri​ tagged me in this quiz, so here we are doing it with Tlaloc. Thank you for the tag!! <3
A Compass That Doesn’t Waver
You are someone who is certain of what you want. Maybe you always have been, or maybe you made a discovery that you haven’t been able to tear your eyes away from. Your heart is set and certain. You fight endlessly for your goals. Above all else, you know who you are and what you are trying to achieve. Just be careful not to tear yourself or others apart in pursuit of your ideals.
A very fitting result, in my opinion. 
Tlaloc always wanted to be an adventurer, even well before he became the Warrior of Light. Becoming the Warrior of Light was a dream come true for him in the beginning. As time has passed, and especially through Shadowbringers and Endwalker, he has really tried to be a pillar for those around him. His goals are to protect the ones he loves and that has come in the form of fighting endlessly. I think it fits very well the warning to be wary of tearing yourself apart because he would rather work and fight to the very bone before letting anything else get the better of him. He is, if anything, determined, and it shows in how much and how hard he is willing to fight.

Surviving NNN
Part Three: A star
Tumblr media
You sit on the balcony of your apartment, letting the cold breeze brush your face. The cold shower you just took helped. Or at least it eased the pain. Yena's gorgeous body still wanders through your mind. The way the towel slowly slid up, revealing her legs. How it created a small cleavage over her small breasts.
You are saved by the sound of the door being opened. Hearing small footsteps, you do your best to concentrate on the task at hand.
"Oppa?"
You recognize Chaewon's voice.
"Yeah."
"Minju made breakfast. You coming?"
"Of course. Give me a second."
You feel a little guilty letting your guests cook, but the three girls can cook way better than you. Apart from some basic dishes you can't do very much.
"What are you doing?"
Chaewon steps closer, now standing right behind you, while looking over your shoulder as you sit in one of the comfortable chairs.
"I'm working on some lyrics." "Really?"
You hear the excitement in Chaewons's voice.
"I'm a huge star, you know?"
She grabs another chair and sits down next to you, looking at the ipad in your lap.
She referred to herself as a star, which is the name for your fandom. Your stage name is Jin-wol. It translates to moon or jewel in English. That's why the fandom name stars somewhat fit.
You are happy to hear that Chaewon is a star, she is a well known idol after all.
"Really?"
The young woman nods in excitement.
"I watched your recent MV like a million times."
You chuckle as Chaewon tries to glance at your ipad. Unfortunately, there is nothing much to look at so far.
"What's the new song about?"
"Read for yourself."
You offer her the ipad and Chaewon starts to read. It isn't much yet, but you can see her blushing harder and harder with every word.
"Th-This is gonna be your song?"
"Yeah. I can write and produce my own music, but usually the company decides on what theme we do for every album.
"Ah, I see."
Chaewon's cheeks are still a little red as she gives you the ipad back. It is hard work to write this stuff right now, beacuse of NNN. It's supposed to be a sexy concept. A combination of obvious hints about sex and some a little less obvious. It wouldn't have been a problem without NNN at all. You could just take more than enough "inspiration" from Karina. And even if someone would catch up on that, it's no big deal, since the two of you are together anyway.
You eat breqakfast in silence, while you listen to three girls chatting. With your mind still on the song and your mind capable of more than just vivid imagination, you keep your head down.
"Oppa."
You slowly raise your head, barely able to look at Minju. The things that went through your brain during your run make you feel bad. How could you think about her like that?
"Since its Saturday, the three of us wanted to go shopping. You wanna come with?"
You rather not. You need to keep writing. And you need some space to breath. Having these three girls constantly around you makes you anxious.
"I actually still have some work to do."
"Oh come on."
Yena looks at you.
"We will reward you afterwards."
She gives you a wink and your mind starts spinning again. What kind of reward?
"What kind of reward?"
Yena chuckles. Your voice may have sounded a little too desperate.
"I'm tot gonna tell you. But it has something to do with cream."
She smirks at you.
New pictures flood your mind.
Yena on her knees, holding a can of wipped cream. She pours some of it into her mouth, before looking up at you. Her hands work to take of your pants. You groan as you feel her warm lips part around your cock. The cold wipped cream is a great contrast to them. It slowly starts to melt in Yena's mouth. She pushes it around with her tongue, while looking up at you.
"Oppa?"
You slightly shake your head, trying to get rid of these thoughts.
"No."
"Why not?"
Yena pouts. You can't stop looking at her lips. Just a moment ago they were wrapped around your cock....
"Please, Jin-wol oppa."
Minju pouts as well.
"Karina unnie told us to take you. She said you hate shopping."
That's somewhat true. You never liked it. Which means Karina usually does it for you. She knows evry size, from shoes to shirt. She also has a better sense of style than you.
The person who breaks your last resistance is Chaewon.
"Like you wrote in your lyrics: 'I see donuts left and right, but I just want to glaze yours all night' you know?"
No. No way in hell she doesn't know what you meant by that. She must. Chaewon must know exactly what you meant. The other lines are even more explicit. She must have picked up on this.
And yet, she looks at you with an innocent face.
"We could get you some donuts."
Yena chips in.
"I like my donut glazed as well."
You almost have to take another shower as you hear her say that. You stuff your mouth with food, trying to avoid the pictures coming back.
"Chaewon? Are you coming?"
Yena shouts through the apartment, while the three of you wait for Chaewon. She is the last on to get dressed.
"Oppa, why don't you go and get her?"
"Me?"
"Yeah. She is a big fan of yours. I'm sure she will hurry up when she sees you.
"Fine."
You walk towards Yena's and Chaewon's shared room.
"Chaewon."
"Come in."
You hesitate for obvious reasons, but you eventually open the door. Bad decision. Not just because of the way Chaewon is dressed, but because the two of you are alone.
Tumblr media
"What do you think?"
You think a lot. Way too much actually. The number of days you survived without cuming is increasing steadily. And Chaewons outfit makes you dizzy.
You just want to take her right there.
Push her against the wall, throwing that large bag aside. Open the zipper of her jeans, while she does the same with yours. Your lips dance along her skin on her shoulders, enjoying the smoothness. Without much forplay, you would just enter Chaewon. Her eyes shut tight as her petite body tries to accustom itself to your cock. A moan escapes her mouth while you push inside. Your hands resting on her tight midriff. Your thumb playfully grazes over her mole as you make Chaewon sigh with pleasure.
You start to fuck her hard into the wall. More and more. Faster and faster. Your body releasing all the build up tension.
"Oh god! Your cock!"
Chaewon moans loudly as you pound her hard. Your dick is deep inside her pussy. Your girlfriend's friend's pussy. Your fellow idol's pussy. Your fan's pussy.
Chaewon is all of that. And more. Your lips find hers, trying to muffle her moans as you take her body. The young woman gives herself to you, relishing in the pleasure you give her.
"Harder, please! Fuck me good!"
Her high pitched yelps make you pound her harder. You feel Chaewon's walls contract around you. Her body shakes even more.
"Oh my god! I'm gonna cum on your cock!"
And so she does. Chaewon orgasms in your arms as you keep fucking her. You chase your own orgasm which is building up as well. After almost three weeks of no cuming, you feel your cock almost bursting as you are about to climax.
"Give it to me. Give me your cum."
Chaewon asks for it. She looks into your eyes, her head slightly swaying back and forth as you pound her against the wall. You are surprised when she manages to undo the button of her jeans in a frenzy. She pulls down her jeans just enough for you to get a good look at her pussy.
The sight makes you orgasm right there. You manage to pull out. You start cuming all over her. Your cum lands mostly on her freshly fucked pussy. Some of it on her midriff. The two of you breath heavily after your short fuck.
Looking down, you realize that you mad your lyrics come true. You did glaze Chaewon's donut.
________
Hi everyone!
I hope you enjoyed this. The lyrics might come of as a little cringe but I'm a writer not a composer , so please don't judge me to harshly.
Tomorrow will be the last day of round one for the Decmber speical, if i'm correct. You will be able to vote for the actual chapters as soon as this round ends
Have a great day!

You know what, I assume that people always read my pinned, or notice the pointer "new reader? start here" in every new Fragments' episode. I might be deluding myself. So hi hello lemme TALK ABOUT MY COMIC.
Tumblr media
Before I get too rambly (and I mean RAMBLY), here's a quick intro. Fragments is a comic focused on feels and slice of life, made by a queer guy, aiming to ~character study~ the main cast (Vivi, Raha, Alisaie, Feo Ul) and fill in the gaps in canon (or linger in canon moments that needed more air imo), the tone ranging from angst to fluff to meme. Good punches require a good windup, so please don't expect angst anytime soon :3c
The story's segmented (fragmented, heh) into episodes. Episodes 1-11 take place in ARR, you can enjoy them with no worry about spoilers. Episode 12 onward is ShB, with all the spoilers and lorebending.
My storytelling style assumes you haven't only played through ShB, but know it like the back of your hand, i.e. it's for nerds and thinkers. Of course there's plenty of silly moments that don't require any deep knowledge, but the overarching story does. Often I skip canon events, only hinting that they took place, simply because I don't wanna retell the msq 1:1, I've got plenty of original scenes waiting to be drawn. You're in for a treat if you like obsessing over emotional and moral implications of things. And, yes, this's a story about a morally grey mc. Don't expect to be spoon-fed "and this's why that thing's bad, kids".
Currently I've outlined all the main story beats up until post EW, so it's like, not being winged as I go. Yes I refine things here and there, but I know where I'm going. I'm going ham!!!! With the lorebending post ShB. Initially I didn't plan to, but the more I learned about Vivi and personally grew as a writer, the more courage I got to "divorce" from canon. The general xiv story may still be good wherever it's headed, but it's not suited for an established wolgraha, so I'm making food for myself.
Everyone imagines the lil scenes from their wol's life, I'm taking that a tiiiiiny step further. Fragments tells a cohesive story that's looking to be the longest project at least in our corner. I can and will hyperfixate on this for years.
Tumblr media
I started out just like many others, being hit with ShB like a truck, I wanted to put a catboy under a microscope and rotate him forever. Although I'd already been drawing for decades, I didn't have the comic-making skills yet, or eloquence to write the dialogue, so I spent the first half of 2022 self-studying, just because I needed a mouth to be able to scream about my ship.
Vivi didn't exist prior to my obsession with Exarch. He was made for this, he started out as a reagent (or a foil, now that I know fancy writing terms) for a rich and fun chemistry, and keep myself entertained for years, first and foremost.
Tumblr media
Me, a fool: okay let's make a guy that falls in love with Exarch in this particular moment, what kinda life must he have led to- Me: ....oh no
Tumblr media
The chemistry quickly bubbled up and exploded in my face, involving not only Exarch, but other characters (first as a means to subtly tell about Vivi, then they also demanded their own screentime), and here I am, sitting with a massive script on my hands, drawing my blorbos every day. Thanks for enabling that btw.
I care about characters a lot. I ask a lot of whys and hows. I'm critical-minded and burned on many bad stories that did their characters dirty, and I wanna be an opposing example. What I'm doing is extremely ambitious and risky, yes, but I can only invite you to tag along and see if I stick to my word.
The internet's a cruel and unforgiving place nowadays, and here I am, pitting my passion against what feels like decaying humanity. I'm making this comic to keep myself happy above all else, being sincere and cringe because life's too short to be anything else.
Thanks for reading this, and if you haven't yet, read Fragments here!

What I Wish I Knew
Summary: When Master Yoda makes it a requirement for all Jedi Knights to take a Padawan, it means a lot of very young children end up on the front lines of a war. Plo Koon ends up with an eleven year old padawan, and he turns to Commander Wolffe to explain the realities of their situation to her.
Characters: Commander Wolffe, Plo Koon, Young F!Padawan Reader (all platonic)
Word Count: 761
Warnings: Wolffe has a heavy conversation with the reader
Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni @imabeautifulbutterfly
A/N: Is a lot of what Wolffe says pulled directly from this song, yes. Yes it is. But it works.
Tumblr media
“Commander,” General Koon walks over to him, a pensive look on his face, “I’m glad to see you. I was hoping to get your advice on something.”
“My advice, General?” Wolffe is, understandably, confused at the very idea, “I’m happy to help, of course. But I’m not sure what kind of advice I can give you that you don’t already know.”
“It’s always important to get multiple opinions.” General Koon says lightly, “And this is a matter that you might be better equipped at dealing with than myself.”
“Alright,” Wolffe replies slowly, “Go ahead.”
“You might have noticed,” General Koon starts slowly, thoughtfully, “That my Padawan is very…young.”
That might very well be the understatement of the century. She’s hardly the youngest of the new Jedi Commanders, that particular honor lies at Cody’s feet, who has an 8 year old Jedi Commander and it bothers him a lot.
“She’s not terribly young, sir.” Wolffe says awkwardly.
General Koon chuckles, “True. She’s at least old enough to be a Padawan on her own merits, but she is still very young, Commander. Too young for War. Too young to understand the realities, I think.”
“General, what are you asking me to do?”
“Talk to her. Help her understand.”
“Shouldn’t that be your job?” Wolffe asks.
“I think the lesson will stick better coming from you.” General Koon replies quietly, “Can you do this?”
Wolffe sighs and rubs the back of his neck, “Yeah. Yeah, alright. Just…send her to my office when she finishes with her lessons for the day.”
“Of course…and, Commander, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.” Wolffe remains standing there as General Koon walks away, and then he sighs.
Great. How do you explain war to a Cadet who actually has to take part in it? His training did not cover this.
With that thought in mind, he turns on his heels and heads towards his quarters. Hopefully the short walk will make the words magically appear. He’s not hopeful, though. Odds are he’s going to be winging it.
Half an hour later, there’s a knock on his door, and then it slides open, and a small face peeks in.
She’s…young.
So young.
Too young.
Her hair is tied in twin tails. Twin tails that she needs help putting up still. And her face is still rounded with baby fat.
Wolffe knows, logically, that she’s inching towards puberty. He knows human biology after all, but he can’t help but look at her and see a cadet rather than a jedi.
“Master said that you wanted to see me, Wol-...um, Commander.” She asks as she steps into the room and shuts the door behind her, “Did I do something wrong?”
Wolffe opens his mouth, and the words start coming, “I was younger than you are now, when I was given my first command.” He says, and she turns wide, baffled eyes towards his face, “I led my men into a massacre, I witnessed their deaths first hand.”
Her hands curl around her robes…robes that are too big for her.
“I made every mistake.” Wolffe continues as he stares at her, “And even now, to this day, I lie awake knowing that history has its eyes on me.”
“Why are you telling me this?” She asks, her voice wavering slightly, her eyes even wider.
Good. She understands.
Wolffe circles his desk and kneels in front of her, “Let me tell you what I wish I knew, what I wish someone had told me.” He sets his hands on her shoulders. She’s so small, too small. “You have no control over who lives, who dies, or who tells your story at the end.”
She sniffles and her wide eyes fill with tears. 
Wolffe smiles, and tugs her into a light hug, “I know that we can win.” He says quietly, “I know that greatness lies in you. But you have to remember, from here on out, that history has its eyes on you.”
She hastily wipes her eyes, and she blinks up at him with eyes that are a little more haunted than they were moments earlier. A little less innocent. “...Yes Commander, I think I understand.”
“Good girl.”
She offers him a quick bow, and then she scurries out of the room, and Wolffe leans against his desk. Only time will tell how this chat went, but, hopefully, he got through to her.
Hopefully she’ll understand what he meant.
Hopefully General Koon won’t be too mad about what he just taught her.
His head tilts back, history has its eyes on you indeed.

A few headcanons for my WoL. I'll just dump all the lore I have under the cut.
Lominsan Astrologians The Lominsan branch of Astrology is still a very new and experimental branch of the secretive Sharleyan/Ishgardian tradition. Initiated by a senior Arcanist Skywatcher of Mealvaan's Gate discovering several Astrology texts and star-charts being used as fish wrapping after their daily walk home by the Fishing Guild, the novel idea of using the arrangement of the heavens as the guiding geometry and the familiarity of using astral navigation warranted further exploration. Unlike their distant cousins, Lominsan Astrology has a heavy navigational and short-term predictive bent, focusing on extrapolating the present and past by projecting their current state onto the cycle of the heavens via arcanum and predicting their future state by backprojecting their transformation through the tabulated movements of the stars. This, of course, is incredibly math heavy, having already produced several new mathematical theories and driven at least four (4) Arcanists insane from the long nights spent in the meeting room they've barricaded themselves in. The lack of access to examples of astrologian planispheres, arms, and even decks of cards has required Lominsan Astrologians to make do with jury rigging existing equipment into the vague facsimile of one, both out of necessity and to suit their needs. As such, Lominsan-produced astrologian arms are highly skeletonized and unadorned, and incorporate a minimum of a sextant, a compass, a chronometer, a barometer, a thermometer, a hygrometer, an artificial horizon, and a sundial, with more advanced prototypes incorporating theodolites for more precise surveying and to take advantage of the platform's stability. They still haven't quite figured out the cards portion of it, and many either use playing card decks or navigation star flash cards to varying degrees of success.
Casting Whereas the modern Arcanist and it's derivatives safely channel aether through amplifying geometries written in aetheroconductive inks, the relative nature of the heavenly geometries require that the user finally channel the backprojected aether-patterns through themselves and out into a usable form. As well documented in the many historical texts of the guild, this is extremely dangerous except for the most well disciplined or hardened practitioners. In all astral navigation, the observer is first and final point of reference.
A nuanced but important difference between the traditional Sharleyan/Ishgardian and the novel Lominsan branch is their method of foresight. In the traditional method pioneered by Lewphon, user attunes their aether to the heavenly movements, drawing on the constellations with help from the planisphere and sets of cards to transform it into new properties or predict the future. In the mostly-independent Lominsan method, Arcanima is projected onto the position of the stars, transformed via moving the planisphere, and then backprojected into a new form, with the future collective movements amplifying the aether's power. The upsides is that the 6 constellations aren't necessary, and any combination of the 57 navigation stars plus the sun, moon, and current location may be used. The downside is that, unless well practiced, calculations must be done via dead reckoning (really Euler's method) of multiple celestial objects. The pure computation required, even for an expert assessor, is well beyond what is reasonable while holding back enough aether to kill a man. As such, only short-term projections are possible (no more than a week, a month if lucky), greatly limiting the Lominsan branch from the far-reaching predictive gifts of their distant cousins. Thankfully for the half-mad assessors, by performing these iterative calculations, the aether is "compressed" at each timestep, allowing them to cast spells at a similar strength to their Sharleyan counterparts. Further, by choosing different combinations of stars, different effects can be produced in replica of traditional Astrologian spells. The 6 constellations are also usable as projective stars, and were the first to be tabulated, making them go-to choices in the heat of battle. In addition, this gives the Lominsan branch much better short-term predictive powers of weather conditions than the other branches. An upside the others may find pitiful, but to the Lominsans, it's well worth the effort.

Can I please request the remarried empress with the female douma again but with a twist .
Tumblr media
🌈The high priest dies in a carage accident (totally not her fault because she wanted to ruin rattrash and sovieshit their lives )and her becoming the high priest.
💐People worshiping her too the point of saying that she is the only god they pray for and her going full in cult mode again and people not caring.
🌈But for navier going full on for her wedding praising her saying that she deserves the title of the western empress and that she should not feel guilty for taking her title.
💐Her saying to heinley she would comit genocide and war crimes for navier so if he does hurt navier he whoud feel her wrath and then smiling and saying congrats for marrying navier.
🌈How would everyone react to her being the new priest and seeing the amount folowers she has that whoud comit crimes for her from lady to queen to high priest (rattrash is fighting air rn.)
Tumblr media
Before we start, this is an AU. I don’t know if the High Priest can get married, so this does not involve Kosair. You were still married to King Wharton III, but he died before this point and you had not remarried yet.
Tumblr media
Sovieshu
Upon hearing that the High Priest had died and you were taking his place, any chance of you becoming his concubine was out the window almost immediately. A High Priest or Priestess always remained unmarried so that they could spend all of their time worshiping and honoring the gods and goddesses.
That, in turn, started a long night of drinking his sorrows away. Not only had he lost his wife, but he also lost you. All that he had left was a woman who knew nothing about becoming a proper woman of the court, let alone becoming an Empress.
You were actually the one to officiate the wedding between the two of them, actually. All you had to do was officiate and then you were dipping so that you could go back to running the cult dedicated to you. And let me tell you, you left right after the whole ‘you may kiss the bride’ thing.
Tumblr media
Rashta
When she heard that you became the High Priestess, she was absolutely angry at this. You just wanted to cause her more and more trouble. In addition to that, you were the highest power in the continent of Wol, which really put her in a tricky situation. She was definitely not on your good side, so technically speaking she was on the side that opposed the gods and goddesses.
However, she let out a sigh of relief when you said that you would be glad to officiate the wedding between her and Sovieshu. After all, the Emperor has been like a brother to you since childhood (worst way to friendzone someone, but bro needs it anyway). 
During the wedding, you were shocked at the absolutely horrible dress that she had chosen to wear, but in your mind it was their wedding, and they could decide what they wanted to wear. You had a bit of a tough time holding it together as you officiated the ceremony, and you had to excuse yourself before you burst into laughter.
Tumblr media
Navier
You were helping her prepare for her wedding when you received the news that the High Priest had been killed in a carriage accident. Navier held you in her arms as you processed the information, and she sent a servant to call Heinrey into the room so that she could ask to postpone the wedding to give you time to take over as the High Priestess.
Once the ceremony was over with, you set about officiating her and Heinrey’s wedding. You have even been there to declare Heinrey and Navier the first Emperor and Empress of the Western Empire, and it had the seal of approval from the High Priests (AKA you). 
She was able to see your growing following, and she was honestly one of them. You were like a blessing to her, and you also were deemed a child of the gods when the High Priest was still alive and when you were a child. It only made sense, really.
Tumblr media
Heinrey
A servant had let him know that the High Priest had passed and you were next in line for the position. This position was not inherited through family members, but rather who has more of a connection with the gods. Obviously you were the best candidate for the job.
Even though your entire life just changed, you made time in your schedule to be the one to officiate his wedding to Navier. After all, it was your duty as the former Queen of the Western Kingdom. Plus, you knew that Heinrey was wanting to turn the W.K. into the Western Empire.
You decided that there were enough resources within the Kingdom to be considered an Empire, and thus he got your sign of approval. You even crowned the first Emperor and Empress of the Western Empire. You, unfortunately, couldn’t stick around for too long after that.

Dawntrail Benchmark
Hali’s Graphic Update
Tumblr media
Here’s a first look at what Hali will look like in Dawntrail with the graphics update! The top ones are Hali’s current look, which also includes Reshade, as I was lazy and didn’t turn it off, so apologies for that! The bottom ones are Hali in the Benchmark, which doesn’t have Reshade, but her details are much more defined, especially her hair, nose, and eyes. The dunesfolk eyes are especially impressive, as they have much more detail in the irises and are much shinier and clearer. Honestly the pictures don’t do it justice. So needless to say I’m extremely happy and excited!! 🥰
Here’s some more screenshots of Hali from the Benchmark as a viper, which isn’t canon for her whatsoever, but at least she got to wear Yuna’s attire, which is in fact a canon outfit for her!

A small note: thank god that my PC is running fine as it is, because I was so afraid that I needed an upgrade, but this is very doable, so no need to rush to upgrade the PC just yet.
Also, I was fiddling around with the CC, and I think I made a new alt (perhaps she will take Yume’s place as Hali’s fellow WoL but still as more of a side character in Hali’s story). Say a big welcome to my new femhroth that I’m thinking of naming Soraya!

Well, that’s about it. I’m hoping everyone is enjoying the Benchmark and first look at our OCs updated! If not, my heart goes out to you, as I can only imagine the great disappointment you’re feeling. 🫂💖
