The other day I managed to spend a little time on genshin and continue a quest that I had put aside for a really long time. But since everyone told me it was beautiful, I wanted to pay a lot of attention to it so a few days ago I finally had the opportunity to pick up where I had left off

And I know that the quest has nothing to do with what I'm about to write, but while doing it, I had a sudden inspiration for a fanfic that had been in the drafts of my phone for about two years, but I couldn't give it context or shape, even though I vaguely had an idea. The fanfiction I thought of features Kazuha's friend as the protagonist, and the whole story is narrated by him, as he finds himself in this mysterious place, shrouded in thick mist with his only desire being to return to his beloved. However, perhaps some players will remember this dialogue: in Liyue, there's a legend about a place called the Sea of Souls, impossible to physically reach, but with some attention, you can hear the voices of souls through the starconches. In fact, the legend tells that if you hold the conch to your ear and hear a sound it means that the person you're looking for is on this island now

[BOOK TOUR] SEA OF SOULS (SEA OF SOULS SAGA #1) // N.C. SCRIMGEOUR

"The men are the monsters, and the monsters men."

Welcome to my stop on the book tour for SEA OF SOULS, book 1 in a dark fantasy series involving selkies and blood-drenched seas by N.C. SCRIMGEOUR, hosted by ESCAPIST BOOK CO.!

This was such a darkly spellbinding read following strong-willed fish-out-of-water Isla, a girl who ran away from home to follow her heart to the seas in search of belonging, a girl with the sea in her blood, as she makes a deal with the dangerous selkies who have longed terrorized her homeland of Silveckan to aid them, after the death of her mother which brought her home from the seas and a selkie attack that claimed the life of her father, uncovering long-kept secrets along the way that will upend everything she thought she knew. Along with her estranged brother and a brooding bodyguard with secrets of his own, she finds herself on a journey of discovery, unraveling a tale of identity, belonging, sacrifice, family, and love amidst blood, gore, and endless horrors and secrets.

Every character was special and integral to the story, and the bonds forged between them treacherous as the currents of the selkie-filled seas, navigating betrayal and belonging, and what it means to truly love and to sacrifice. As Isla aids a selkie in a quest to retrieve a stolen pelt, she learns more about the selkies and their lore and finds a kinship with them, realizing that perhaps selkies and humans are not so different after all.

The writing was as smooth and inviting as the sea itself, vivid and darkly beautiful, every word pulsing with the heartbeat of an ocean, with every deftly-placed clue coming together in a riotous ending - or, it may be more apt to say, a new beginning - that will leave you wanting to plunge yourself into the depths of more.

Isla's character growth and the full-circle moments of her finding the crux of her identity, the pieces of her she's been searching for for seven years slipping into place, are so satisfying. As we embark on a scintillatingly tumultuous new beginning at the end of the novel, I can't wait to see where the rest of this series takes us, especially exploring more of the selkies and magic and more.

An easy 4.5/5 star read for me ✨

Book Blurb:

Dark be the water, and darker still the creatures that lurk within…

Free-spirited Isla Blackwood has never accepted the shackles of her family’s nobility. Instead, she sails the open waters, searching for belonging on the waves.

But when tragedy calls Isla home, she realises she can no longer escape the duty she’s been running from. Selkie raiders have been terrorising the island’s coasts, and when they strike at Blackwood Estate, Isla is forced to flee with her hot-headed brother and brooding swordmaster.

To avenge her family and reclaim her home, Isla will have to set aside old grudges and join forces with an exiled selkie searching for a lost pelt. The heirloom might be the key to stopping the bloody conflict—but only if they can steal it from the island’s most notorious selkie hunter, the Grand Admiral himself.

Caught between a promise to the brother she once left behind and an unlikely friendship with the selkie who should have been her enemy, Isla soon realises the open seas aren’t the only treacherous waters she’ll need to navigate.

As enemies close in on all sides, she must decide once and for all where her loyalties lie if she wants to save what’s left of her family—and find the belonging she’s been searching for.

Ahmed Saad, a Palestinian man who had to jump through an insane amount of loops to get the funds necessary for escaping Gaza, is asking us all to donate to his friend’s family fund.

Mohamed is a hemophilia patient who needs access to medicine and to do surgery on his knees, his 11-year-old daughter also needs thigh surgery (she was supposed to do it outside Gaza in November but couldn't travel due to the border issues). Mohammed’s condition is worsening rapidly and, with Israel destroying the last functional hospital in Gaza, things are looking dire.

Please donate generously!

#Ahmed has truly an incredibly empathetic soul #and Israel is so ludicrously and inconceivably evil #there were 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip four months ago and now there are none #these fucking monsters deserve nothing #so please feel for the Palestinians desperate to leave and get help #you can make a difference in a persons life today #please donate generously #palestine #free Palestine #call to action #from the river to the sea #free gaza #free West Bank

A Total Write Off | Weeknotes

I was so please to have finished up episode 40 of Permanently Moved last week. December was supposed to be dedicated to working on/finishing up personal projects and putting out some things I’m sick of seeing in my drafts. I wanted to clear the decks before Thailand in January. But… on Monday I got sick. The whole week was a total write off. The test said it wasn’t Covid, but it was old, and I…
