Either people need to learn how to tell the difference between an “I’m sorry” that takes direct responsibility and an “I’m sorry” that signifies sympathy, or I’m gonna start responding to unfortunate information with a solemn nod and a “Sympies,” because I am tired of receiving a “Why? It wasn’t your fault” every time I try to vocalize compassion.
#text post#oh I hate that#i have a facial expression that goes with ‘I know but I’m sorry that this thing is upsetting’#I add on#obviously it’s not my fault

I don't think anyone appreciates how funny Pope Franics actually is. Imagine being elected to the head of an over the top bad guy organization that would make you the final boss of a jrpg, and you spend your entire time there sitting around and saying things like "maybe we should reconsider our 'people dying is good' policy. I'm not saying we should reverse the 'people dying is good' policy, it's been our policy for thousands of years after all, but maybe we should, oh I don't know. Reconsider it." And every time you do so it causes half of a major world religion to get so pissed off that it almost causes a religious schism

Thinking about Gale's spellbook.
Not the old one, the one he carried when he was Gale, the Wizard of Waterdeep - a gorgeous, leather-and-silver bound thing that bulged with a lifetime's worth of accumulated knowledge. There were spells in there penned over wine and cheese with Elminster; in a flow state that bordered on the spiritual after a night with Mystra, remembering her instruction, the feel of her soul against his. That spellbook was the testament to his success, the proof that he had excelled beyond the excellent -
And then Mystra cut him off from the Weave, and it all become meaningless.
His own runes, rendered incomprehensible; beautiful spell-glyphs that turned from condensed power and knowledge to worthless pieces of art. He has to start anew, from the ground up - reforging his connection to the Weave without Mystra's guidance (without her, without), relearning schoolboy spells. Humiliatingly easy magic, the kind he used to do like it was breathing, except this time he has to study and work and try and try, Tara urging him on with firm but gentle words.
He learns different spells, now. Mage Armour, Shield, Magic Missile. Not the kind of spells that he'll ever need on a day-to-day basis; spells that'll keep him alive long enough when he makes an exodus to the depths of the Underdark, or the centre of some desert wastes, and goes supernova.
The new spellbook is a plainer thing, small enough to fit in a robe pocket (because extradimensional storage spaces are no longer things he can make with a thought). And then he's snatched by a Nautiloid, and... honestly, he'd swear that the spine just wants to hold onto blood-spatters, no matter how many times he cleans them out. The pages get spotted from all the times he's had to flick them open in driving rain; the corners get creased from being shoved in and out of his robes.
And absolutely nothing can protect it from the unstoppable force of his friends.
Karlach nearly sends the whole thing up in flames one night by gesticulating a bit too wildly. Wyll laughs too hard one night and sprays wine all over Gale's new notes on Abjuration. Scratch picks up the entire thing and runs off with it when Gale's back is foolishly turned, and it's only a stern talking-to from Halsin that saves the whole thing from becoming a chew toy.
Smiley cat faces, doodled on the pages in Yenna's untidy hand. A helpful comment from Karlach on the Fireball page: 'AKA FUCK YEAH LET'S GO!!!!' A few lines of Wyll's perfect handwriting, a memento from a long discussion about how infernal energies could enhance fire magic; a few observations from Shadowheart on warding enchantments. Some terse comments on psionic magic from Lae'zel that Gale finds himself weaving into his Shields, and they do seem to hold up a little better now. (Other hands on his spellbook! Touching the pages he carries close to his heart! The man he was would never have believed it.)
He thinks of them all, as he writes new spells. Counterspell, because nothing will touch them. Spells that will carry his people from danger and shield them from harm. He watches Astarion pace before the fire one night and inscribes Sunbeam with a cold smile of promise to Cazador; he glowers at Mizora over the edge of the pages as he ponders what spells would be best suited to killing a devil.
A wizard's spellbook, Elminster told him once, is a reflection of their soul. Gale of Waterdeep's spellbook was a marvel; perfect and polished and resplendant. Untouched by any hands but his own.
Gale Dekarios's spellbook is battered and beloved, covered on every page with the fingerprints of his friends.
#gale of waterdeep#bg3#gale dekarios#bg3 spoilers#oh this was such an incredible read#and it fits so so perfect

i've had a hell of a week, like...
...the cat I've had since I was 17 passed (he was 15 and had kidney disease....which is old for a cat, and we did all we could but its still incredibly heartbreaking)
...my doctors office cant figure out how the hell to get *someone* to call me back, so I've been monitoring the gestational diabetes by myself (not a big deal as my dad is diabetic and my mom is bit of a research nut so she knows all about diabetes to help my dad so i know alot about it cause...she shares information) while hearing 'i'm not doing good enough, its a problem' every time i visit the office. which is once every two weeks, soon to be once a week. I'm having this baby in like a month, we're getting to a point where theres no reason for me to see anyone for this shit....
...my job threw me a wonderful baby shower, where i almost cried because not only am i *terrible* at being the center of attention but i have very little concept of how...much people like me?? So seeing how happy and excited and...generous everyone i work with was (many of whom are in way a tighter financial place than my husband and i) was overwhelming.
...found out my grandmother (who i havent talked to in 3 1/2 years because she was mad I couldnt invite my cousin who also barely speaks to me to my wedding during covid where i obsessively followed all guidelines to the letter and was terrified someone would get sick despite it all, which i wasn't even sure i'd get to have because until two weeks before we could have 10 people in the damn church,) died. We found out because there was a hole next where my grandfather is buried....like..my poor mother had to tell my dad both his parents are gone from finding the damn hole in the ground.
I won't lie...I'm really glad its the weekend...but damn its been rough emotionally
#personalbullpucky#text post#like i'm kinda tapped out when it comes to complex emotions#id like a little bit of a break before my daughter joins the world#please??? i'm not asking for alot#possibly delete later

People who drink coffee: why did you start?
I don't drink coffee and I've never wanted to, but that's obviously ~not normal~, so I'm curious why most people do start drinking it.
#I’ve always liked the taste of coffee personally#but I probably started around 12 because I wanted#to sit and have coffee with my mom and grandmother#it was just…a thing they did when they were together#so when I got old enough to want to be a part of that#I started drinking coffee#text post#kinda a sweet memory really I alway felt so grown up sitting there drinking coffee while they talked

Reblog if you’re 30 or older
This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!

Seriously petty eso complaint post but like…if you do a trade invite, and I trade things to you (most of time for nothing cause why not?), at least say thank you? Or…something?? I play PC, it’s got a chat box.
I’ll be totally honest I’m a hoarder, I have so much stuff I do nothing with so I never care about giving stuff to other players. People did it for me when I was starting out, I like to rerun the favor when I can, but like…a thank you doesn’t hurt? Idk…it’s petty I know but it’s one of the reasons I dislike interacting with other players. It’s an mmo so I have to sometimes but come on??
#personalbullpucky I mean this person did an invite to group#I said I was leaving in like 5 min and then proceeded to friend me and ask to trade#then once I put my offer quickly accepted and ran off#I don’t want or care about you giving me anything#but a hey cool thanks for free things! wouldn’t have killed anyone

Necrom Port
I crouched on these stairs for in-game-hours trying to to bring out something dark and moody to go with the really cool lamps but I don't think I achieved what I was going for. Still, at least I caught some silt striders!
