WiP Wednesday

slightly early cuz I can’t seem to post anything during the day lately due to being distracted.  A bit of Baldur’s Gate 3 about my Drow bard Zynatheri’s extremely weird and checkered past.  Tagging @oxygenforthewicked and @kirkwalls-dumbest should you want to post something!

...

Wyll gave Zyn an odd look.  “Sound like you’re speaking from experience.”

Fishing out her knife after she was sure he didn’t need any more healing, she crouched down to slice through the vine holding down his left leg as he worked the other one free.  “Oh, sure.  Spent over a decade in a male body.  Maybe closer to fifteen, not sure.  You got out?”

Wyll jerked his leg free, and then grabbed her offered arm to jump over the vines before they could grab him again.  “Looks like.  Thanks for the timely assistance there.”

“Well, if I left you here I’d be slightly more likely to die,” Zyn said, returning her knife to its sheath with a little flip.  Only a bit of showing off.  “Come on.  We’ve got to get a wiggle on if we’re going to make it to the inn.  A proper inn, finally.  Might be able to make a bit of coin if I’m lucky.  Oh gods, and a bath?”

“No, no, no.  You’re not going to go and change the subject so easily,” Wyll protested, taking three jogging steps to catch back up.  

Zyn stifled a sigh, rolling her eyes as she made her way back to the rest of the group.  She turned her back to them, spinning around to face Wyll and walk backwards.  “I could tell you the story but you’re not going to believe it anyways, so why bother?” She turned back around with a flip of her braid and a flick of her hand.

“What did you lie to Wyll about this time?” Shadowheart inquired, the glow in her hands fading as she stepped back from Astarion.  

Zyn threw up her hands, aggrieved.  “I’m saying I’m not lying!  Not lying!  The complete opposite of the thing I generally do!  It was just a passing fucking comment.”

“Woah, woah, I’m only curious.  No need to get your hackles up,” Wyll said amiably.  “And even if I happened to slightly disbelieve you, always willing to suspend it to enjoy a bit of bardic hyperbole, eh?”

“It’s not even-”  Zyn sighed.  Well, as far as prying went, this was a story she didn’t mind telling.  “I was at a soiree held by my patron at the time.  She had particular tastes, and so did most of her associates, so it was that kind of soiree.”

“I hate that I’ve been around you long enough that I know what that means,” Shadowheart sighed, grabbing her pack off the ground.  She slung it on, and picked up her mace from the ground, shaking a bit of viscera off of it.

“And I hate that I wasn’t invited,” Astarion quipped, still looking annoyed as he examined the claw marks in his sleeve.

Zyn ignored his aside with a faint smirk.

“During the group festivities, a wizard asked if I was open to being polymorphed.  I was drunk, so I said yes.  So then I had a dick, which when you think about it is the most boring thing he could have done.  I passed out at some point and when I woke up he was gone, and it was a masque so I never caught his name, and my patron and I had a falling out, and she refused to pay for another polymorph,” she finished, vaguely winded.  

The memory was old, and so too were the emotions associated, but she was vaguely offended for her old self.  “Anyways, it took me over fifteen years to have enough money to fix it because one, I wasn’t in any particular hurry to be female, and two, every time I had the money I’d spend it on something else.”

“I can’t believe you actually had a patron,” Astarion said.  “Was it charity?”

He shoved his sleeve at her, and she sighed and reached for her component pouch.  What a spoiled baby.  It was just a few little tears.  “Yeah, sure, she found me in a crate outside the butcher.  Someone wrote ‘Free Bard to a Bad Home’ on the front.”

“Yes...that does seem accurate.”

“Not the kind of adventure I think I’d enjoy,” Wyll mused.  “Though I suppose after a while you’d get used to it.  Still.  Reckon I’d rather not feel out of place in my own body like that.”

“I’ve never been very attached to being a woman,”  Zyn said absently, casting a quick mending on Astarion’s sleeve with a small sing-song hum.  As the fabric knit itself back together, she lifted her gaze back to Wyll.  “I’d do it again if it was both easy to do and undo, but it’s not.  Wizards.  They’ll do it for free at an orgy, but charge you out the arse any other time.  Doesn’t seem fair, does it?”

“Truly a struggle for the ages,” Wyll said sympathetically.  Abruptly he stopped, head tilting as he gave a slow, audible sniff.  Turning away, he glanced up at the sky, faintly visible through the trees.  “Is that…smoke?”

Oh no.

“Please don’t tell me that’s in the direction of…”

“The inn.  ‘Fraid so.”

Zyn closed her eyes tightly, taking in a long, cleansing breath.  It didn’t work, as it was, indeed, scented with smoke.  “Fuck.”

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

#watching ppl go from being like ''support neurodivergent ppl~~!" #to being like ''if this is going to give u a panic attack ur fuckken stupid'' #like..... gets me #yeah man. i know im going to be triggered by it . in the old fashioned term. it is GOING to give me a panic attack. it's pretty much certai #and i shouldn't have to tell u about what i have survived for you to be okay with that. #you can just trust that i ALSO don't want me to react to it. i'm not gonna be having a FUN time. #dismissing that bc you think it's stupid.... like is the whole problem. #these sounds are workshopped by entire teams of people to get you to pay attention and move quickly. #they arent meant to be fun and exciting. #OBVIOUSLY it's gonna set ppl off. #but yeah there's something so fuckken demeaning about ppl being like. well that trigger isn't valid bc u haven't undergone X #dude i have ptsd bc i was abused as a child. like plain and simple. the fact im 30 and afraid of the dark tells you how bad it was. #i shouldn't have to ask u for permission to be mentally ill. #the reason it's a fucking disorder and not a fucking choice is that I DO NOT CONTROL IT. #like how is it any different from when ppl are like ''oh public speaking isn't that scary'' like FOR YOU #for YOU this isn't scary. now if i could fucking eat my own amygdala...

Annabeth calling Percy and Grover from some lair she got stuck in because she got curious about something she was told so many times to stop being curious about, so now they gotta go get her, and afterwards Grover sits her down for a lesson on prey animal common sense. Annabeth trying to explain that she is not a goat. Grover pressing his finger to his mouth, gently shushing her before continuing on

Also Percy explaining that this is why he has to follow her on things because she is the cat and curiosity is always ready to kill her. Him gesturing erratically while Grover is setting up his presentation because "Sometimes I wanna follow Grover, Annabeth! But I can't because you keep arguing your way into danger! So I have to follow you down the dark spooky tunnel instead of hanging out with my best friend in the land of rainbows and sunshine"

"what if the land of rainbows and sunshine is a trap"

"I GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE YOU KEEP GOING TO THE EFFING TUNNEL"

#grover underwood #annabeth chase #percy jackson #grover is a magical goatman with a magical flute and the common sense of a prey animal. percy is an ocean child who can and will explode yo #annabeth on the other hand... she's got the brains. she's got the strategy. she's got the training. #no external powers tho. and a minimal sense of danger that ducks out the moment she comes across something that interests her #or makes her feel stupid because then she'll yell at it - see the sphinx from BOTL 😂 #oh oh! part of grover's presentation is how to headbutt danger if avoidance doesn't work and annabeth points out she doesn't have horns #grover: how's that my fucking problem #happy talks pjo

maybe a hot take but slowing down, using more concise language, and/or giving more detailed explanations or instructions is not the same as infantilization or “dumbing it down,” some of you guys just view disabled/ND peoples need for comprehension accommodations as inherently childish, dumb, or less-than

#ableism #sick of hearing ‘don’t treat [them] like a child’ when i literally need instructions to be simplified so my brain doesn’t get overloaded and #so i can actually break it down and digest it #like tell me you think i’m stupid for being autistic without telling me you think im stupid for being autistic #just because YOU don’t need things simplified doesn’t mean everyone else who does is beneath you #now if you start talking to me with a baby voice like im a 4 year old that’s when we’ll have issues #but just clarifying isn’t inherently infantilizing #text post #top posts #5k

My fic writing process

Me: Here is an interesting idea, extrapolating the story's inherent, underutilized worldbuilding and not only acting upon it, but expanding it and making it my own to explore themes and characters I enjoy. Also Me: Ok but also this would be Hilarious

#im not kidding #my major motivation for stories is either: wow I have deep thoughts on this idea and need to put it to paper #or giggling over stupid scenarios #started my lockwood fic and its either deep discussion on PTSD life/death and the trials of child soldier found families #but also Zany As Fuck shenanigans #Holly and Skull are going to have the most lovingly antagonistic relationship #He gets under her skin the way no one else can #Lucy needs to hide Skull at least twice a week because Holly has had Enough and has a Big Hammer #its what she deserves

So I've been seeing a lot of will solace hate, and I'm here to defend my son.

First of all, he's not a toxic person at all he's a human who can mess up at times and be unintentionally rude, like in that one scene boo where he says

‘Oh, please.’ Will sounded unusually angry. ‘Nobody at Camp Half-Blood ever pushed you away. You have friends – or at least people who would like to be your friend. You pushed yourself away. If you’d get your head out of that brooding cloud of yours for once –

^ that is rude but he didn't have bad intentions because according to him nico wasn't scary and the people that he hung out with - Lou Ellen and Cecil- didn't think that nico was scary either as they were both friendly towards him when they met him at the Roman camping area outside chb so while his delivery wasn't good he meant no harm and he also helped nico realize that not everyone hates him and then there are a few jokes that he made that people consider toxic or offensive but nico was never offended or sad about these jokes he only rolled his eyes and acted exasperated so he knew will meant no harm .

Will is canonically described as a laid-back and calm person, but he is also stubborn when it comes to certain things like medical related things which is understandable since he can feel everything physically wrong with a person by just touching them and is persistent that they don't die and Take care of themselves which is understandable since he saw majority of his siblings die and doesn't want more ppl to die .

Will is actually quite a complex character he's calm and laid back but he's stubborn and strict when he needs to be he's supportive and loving to nico but since he's a kid he struggles with being understanding sometimes hence why he asks persephone for advice on how to be there for nico properly showing that he's mature enough to ask for help . He's also someone represses his emotions because he thinks that as head counselor, he has to be a perfect example, and he told this apollo in the 1st toa book. He's also pretty insecure about his abilities, as shown in boo

Evidence:

You did,’ confirmed Nico. ‘But it was the way you did it. You made it clear that you wanted me around. You said you wanted me to come to the infirmary and help, because … because you could use a “friendly face”.’

‘It was true. And you did help.’

‘You brought me closer instead of rejecting me,’ Nico said, his voice cracking. ‘I’d never been called a friendly face. Ever. You made me rethink everything – my place in camp, my crush on Percy, my future. It took you scolding me like you were the camp director to make me realize that I was … wanted.

___

But with Nico … It’s hard, Persephone. I want the best for him, and he seems to disappear into his darkness, like he’s hiding in a place where he doesn’t want my light.’

‘Then why not offer him your darkness

_____

Nico sighed in exasperation. He hated working with other people. They were always cramping his style, making him uncomfortable. And Will Solace … Nico revised his impression of the son of Apollo. He’d always thought of Will as easygoing and laid back. Apparently, he could also be stubborn and aggravating

_______________________________________

In conclusion will isn't toxic and he isn't perfect and if I'm wrong about something please point it out cause I haven't read the books in a while and if I missed something please point it out and I'm sorry for the typos I wrote this without wearing my glasses as 3 am after studying for a test

#will solace #defending will solace #hes not a bad person but hes also not perfect hes a mixture of both #we need to stop the hate for will like hes done like one or two bad thing in the series and even those times didnt mean to be rude #solangelo #percy jackson and the Olympians #heroes of olympus #the sun and the star #nico di angelo #leave my boy will alone like if he comes off as a dick its a writing mistake on ricks part except that boo i will not exuse him there #anti will solace #im countering yalls argument #its stupid and immature to hate someone because they did like 1 thing #like bro is 16 and he was 14/15 during that scene in boo ofc he's going to make mistake #he's a fucking child and he's learning

sudden yearning for time travelling teen jiang fengmian lands at lotus pier fic that winds up being about a perfectly nice kid having a varying series of "oh no. i don't like that. that's a lot" reactions.

#i think in order for this to be satisfying i have to give grace and interiority to teenmian #i'm picturing an older teen like 18ish? maybe even early 20s? #big crush on csr he's already pretty sure isn't going to work out #but at least he'll always have wei-xiong #anyway this is my ploy to give jfm a chance at an ugly crying meltdown #he's trying so hard to be even keeled and like #maybe take this as an evil vision designed to teach him something #but somewhere in between my crush stole my man and then they died #my whole sect burned #my grown ass son who is older than me making the vibe sooooo weird #and my grandson! child of my dead???? daughter?????? #is just like yeah he never talks about you. no never never #and then wwx blows into town and idk somehow they all end up at dinner together and jfm politely calls lqr a punk ass bitch in front of lwj #because what???? context clues suggest lqr has the fucking nerve to not like wei xiong's baby after All That #only for adult son with the weird vibes #to imply only filial piety is keeping him from naming the real #punk ass bitch #anyway this ends with jfm crying because clearly he marries yuanyuan and she HATES HIM and then his own son ALSO HATES HIM #and would rather stupid Lan-er-gongzi #be his dad. #if you like lqr so much why don't you just join the lan sect then????? #and that's how jc learns he didn't get it all from his mama #jc didn't mean it he was stressed! this isn't his dad it's an a-ling sized kid. but it's still stressful
