You're telling me that these predominantly autistic-leaning insular communities are having trouble appropriately gauging the tone and reactions of each other? Wrow.
A random edit that I made just for fun! Featuring: Robert and Peter. I wanted to experiment with my video editing app. And this is the result. 😂 Had to try out the cool effects that were offered. How could I refuse? 😉
A third possibility hovers in the recesses of Tav's mind, muffled and irritating. It sounds too much like hope for her to even consider it, so she doesn’t bother. She has not sought redemption for over a century—not from Him, not from anybody—and she has long since come to terms with the tenets of her exile.
Absolution is meant for martyrs, malefactors, and the penitent. Not for people like her.
In which Tav has good reason to fear the Underdark, Gale asks too many questions, and Astarion rebalances the scales in his favor. Oneshot, complete.
One was an animal who pretended to be human. The other was a human that pretended to be an animal(???) who pretended to be human. But was the human really pretending to be a beast, when something claws and itches at the back of their mind, guiding their new body and their new powers, making them want to devour whatever comes their way? When they have to be so careful to make sure they don't stretch themselves thin enough to lose themself in thoughts and actions that can't be their own, weren't even human.

Charley used to be human until they're not, but they can't really give that too much thought. Not when they were focused on making sure Nedzu didn't die before he could become the powerful hero he was meant to be. Or focused on the many spooky agencies lurking in the shadows, ready to snatch the two of them up as soon as they let down their guard. Charley had to keep them both safe, and to do that they had to be loud. Be so blindingly obvious and known to the world that no one can ever sweep their (very probable) future disappearances/deaths under the rug.
They just wished they had a chance to breathe, to have enough time to understand why the fuck they had to appear in a certain goddamn hero anime.
Parents really do traumatize you and then force you to reparent yourself instead of being a capable human being who can contribute to society like a normal person. Sorry I can't get a well paying job right now I'm trying to learn coping mechanisms.
