HANG ON. WAKE WAS SNEAKING AROUND INSIDE HARROW'S HEAD FOR NINE FUCKING MONTHS.

Throw another one into the mix permeating Harrow's soul lads. This little witch can fit so many subliminal influences into her

#if Palamedes picked up smoking after a few weeks/seconds in Ianthe's mind palace how much exchange happens in a few months? #what bits of herself did Wake leave behind in Harrow? #Harrow has always been a stubborn vicious little bitch with a mean streak a mile wide and a deep fanatical devotion to her raison d'etre #and personal trauma surrounding childbirth and reproduction and a tendency to inspire loyalty and devotion #which is all pretty much everything we know about Wake #would we even be able to TELL? #the locked tomb #ntn spoilers #the unwanted guest #tug spoilers #commander wake #harrowhark nonagesimus #harrow nonagesimus

[palaceoftears]

This was so crazy coming from.... her

#all I'm giving her is that her devotion feels a little bit more understable that whatever jin yuyan had going on w the duke #but that's still the fault of the building of each relationship tbh #it doesn't change both women are in the situation of desperatly wanting to believe the best from two powerful selfish men #tho yk... for being an antagonist that lasted so long they could've shown us yuyan's motivations in a deeper way #rather than 'oh I had a crush on him & then he sent me here' #they could've explored a little bit more where did that extreme dependence come from #why was it strong enough to even supass her care for her children #watching ruyi #ruyi's royal love in the palace

15 pages left in this book and the author still hasn't explained where those nephews went but she's picking a fight with an earlier author who said they'd 'never been seen again' because ohhh you don't KNOW that maybe SOMEONE did maybe they left the tower alive and well and like... VB. fellow stan. besty. why can't you just respect richard's choices? his ambition and his cunning. he didn't get to kill that many people when he was king, because he got killed himself so soon (rip), let him at least have the murder of those princes. allow him some agency, i beg of thee.

#fanwars of the roses #you don't just LOSE a pair of princes in one of your own palaces u kno? #tbh my main argument against richard having done it is i honestly think it's very shoddy murder and yet he seems fairly competent #if you kill the inconvenient ex-king (+ bro) you need people to KNOW that they need to see a body and know he's out of the game #ffs it's the 15th century there's no forensices you just need bodies that don't look obviously violently murdered! who's gonna know! #obviously i will not abide ANYONE ELSE questioning his ability to do some good murdering. my criticism comes from LOVE. DEVOTION. #srsly tho i'll be a bit sad when i finish this book mostly historians try to hide their biases but this chick is openly stanning her fave < #no pretence of objectivity here just full-on “but have you considered... he was sad and also hot?”

[collegeoflore]

i will always romanticize a vampire bite. always. doesn’t matter the context this thing is getting romanticized. possibly eroticized.

#probably eroticized. most likely eroticized. at least a little. #hunger as desire and consumption as devotion…. how can i not #and not to blorbo post in my own tags but feeding being like. untouchable even during the #weird period between moonrise and cazador’s palace where they are fighting kind of regularly #it never matters as soon as xarrai offers him their blood. none of that matters for a while. #the inherent trust required…. the Connection. #the reverence in it…. #i’m normal. about them. and they are normal about each other. #i cannot keep you safe from yourself but i can give you this // i can’t make you trust me fully but i know you trust me here #sorry. sorry. sorry.

Twi definitely would ask Meliora/Serena if she wanted to stab him if she was sad which then leads to a ban on Link and Serena having sharps in the house.

But no the time Twi and the chain spent with his s/o and feral children make him realize that she’s the one like the /one/ and Time knows that loom well because that’s the look he has when he sees Malon.

[Name] doesn’t care that wild is older he’s still baby and needs guidance-🧚🏽‍♀️

[name] has considered putting a full-on padlock in the kitchen where the knives are, but to keep it from looking tacky (and because twi is a lock-pick fiend that taught the kids how to as well) she just hides them somewhere they'll never find them until she needs to use them

no bc twi being an almost exact replica of peepaw time makes me so soft 😭 he can't help but make comparisons between them and himself and malon. he just gets all reminiscent/nostalgic and all of a sudden he's telling the kids (+ wind and wild) about how he and malon met and their wedding and whatnot

#faeries in the garden #the palace answers #those tropes/scenes in media where its like #'he looked at her like she hung the sun. the stars. and the moon in the sky. he looked at her like she was a goddess and he was her most + #devoted follower. he looked at her like she was the sun and she was the only thing he revolved around' #get me so soft #like ?????????? #me when????????????? #Athena. Songbird. Atalanta. and Aphrodite

[IMAGE ID: A page of sketches. The first shows Palace Maven Spenser hanging upside-down from a tree-branch, with his eyes closed. It is labelled 'He falls asleep like this a lot'. The second shows him laying down, floating on water, and playing with a Chinchou. It is labelled 'He's also fallen asleep like this before. He was fine (he has a freakishly large lung capacity), but he nearly gave Scott a heart attack, and thus has been banned from doing that again.'. The image also has a tiny Scott chibi freaking out in the distance. The third and smallest sketch shows Arena Tycoon Greta slamming pages of evidence down on a table while yelling 'YOUR HONOUR!! He is not human!!!', while next to her Tower Tycoon Anabel holds a cup of tea and says 'Greta this is a kitchen. I am trying to have breakfast.' END IMAGE ID]

I just. Like the idea of Spenser being a cryptid. Some of the other frontier brains are staunch believers in 'there's always a logical explanation', yet make exceptions for Spenser because the man makes no sense.

(also i gave Spenser a wetsuit under his robes bc he's in the water a lot, and also his robes are kinda revealing when he's upside-down skskd. I'm not sure if Mr Cryptid would care about that, but Scott certainly does, so wetsuit it is.)

#hoenn battle frontier #pokemon #palace maven spenser #arena tycoon greta #tower tycoon anabel #salon maiden anabel #frontier manager scott #pokemon scott #this man needs a tag but oh well #honestly maybe shouldnt even be bothering to tag scott. he has like under ten lines devoted to him lol #frontier brain #chinchou

[nottragic-stilltoothsome]

Everything I found in Szarr's palace, for all your fanfiction-writting needs. I haven't found any other post like this one, so i hope i m not copying anyone. Posting it here, because editing the official wiki feels intimidating. Feel welcome to add anything I missed.

Astarion's siblings (the other spawn):

Petras - one of the two you meet in the Flophouse.

Dalyria - the other one from the two you meet in the flophouse. Her diary can be found in the "guest room". Before Cazador turned her, she was a doctor, a "Physician General to the Parliament of Baldur's Gate". She thinks vampirism is a disease and plans on curing herself of it by drinking blood of someone young and healthy - other spawn's daughter, Victoria.

Leon Onufrio - before Cazador turned him, Leon was a sorcerer. He is the one whose daughter's (Victoria's) body is found, cursed, in the room where with the Kozakuran dictionary.

Leon put a protective counter-curse on her, to discourage other spawns from attacking her. Despite his efforts, Dalyria bit her, hoping it'd cure her vampirism. Needless to say, it didn't and Victoria died @easterlingwanderer found out that if you use "speak with the dead" on the body, it turns out that it was a random urchin and Leon did get Victoria out of the city on time. After removing the curse inflicting you with necrotic demage, you can loot a letter of her body from her father instructing Victoria to read said dictionary, so she can freely move around the castle.

In the favoured spawn room, you can learn that Leon was the one usualy occupying it (along with his daughter). His diary reveals that he put extra effort to be Cazador's best hunter, so he can keep Victoria away from others and that he came up with a plan with Figaro to disguise and sneak Victoria out of the palace.

He also notes that he doesnt like the way Violet looks at Victoria and Cazador's wicked smile, when Leon asked him what his master was planning to do with his daughter.

Violet - you can find her Diary in the Dormitory of Spawn. She notes that she put garlic in Yousen bed as a prank.

Aurelia - a tiefling

Yousen - @neophytepagan noticed he is a gnome

Other:

The chamberlain of Cazador was Antwun Dufay. In his diary, which can be found under his bed in his room after a successful passive perception check, it says that he had a lover Lurianna (a werewolf, who can be found dead by walking through fake north wall of chamberlain's office, or through another fake wall in Chamberlain's private room). He knew about Cazador's Black Mass enough to fake his death in order to avoid the threat of taking Astarion's place. Unfortunately for him, it seems he confused the actual death potion and fake death potion, and really died. His lover drank the other potion, which melted her guts. The actual fake-death elixir can be found in his desk, which puts the player in 10-turn coma. He ordered the elixir from Bonecloaks', where he also ordered most of the things the palace needed to function (like bloodstain remover, candles and food for "guests").

Godey - Cazador's right hand. Astarion says that while Cazador was the master of the palace, the kennels (the room where the spawn d be tortured, when they did something Cazador didnt approve of) was the domain of Godey. Godey tortured the spawn when Cazador didnt feel like it. Cazador trusted Godey with the key to the sealed ballroom for the duration of the ritual.

Through the palace, fanatic-servants cleaning the palace: Syrin - human, Greenfern - wood half-elf, Vilhelm - human, Varderola - also human. All of them are servants, who Astarion said are devoted to Cazador and came to the palace of their own will, beggining Cazador to turn them into vampires. Vilhelm is most noteable, as you can talk to him and he asks Astarion why isn't he downstairs, that he is late and the ballroom is already locked. If pressed, he informs that Godey has a key and that the Cazador is going to punish Astarion for missing the ritual (and from his expression, he seems to quite like the thought).

Chamberlain Dufay wrote a blooddonnors ledger, instructing the Spawn to favourite the lower class as prey, as too many missing patriars may drow too much attention.

The language Cazador uses is Kozakuran, from a distant land of Kara-Tur. Astarion notes that they were strictly forbidden from learning it. From Cazador's Journal you can learn that Astarion was not an unreliable narrator when he said Cazador liked torturing him the most: Cazador paid the most attention to him in the journal.

In the favoured spawn room, there is a ledger with the list of spawns who have been favoured (its only Leon and one time Violet).

Amanita Szarr - on her 13th birthsday, invited by her Uncle Cazador. She was invited to the ballroom. She became a vampire, but was not happy about it. She rejected her family name Szarr and named herself Lady Incognita. She claims she stays in the attic and writes stories. One of the books written by her can be found on Cazador's desk.

Mrel Alkam - vampire mastress from Athkatla that Cazador wrote a letter to.
