DM: Your host finishes pouring your drinks and invites you to eat.
Adam (playing Billie): I ask, "Before we break bread with you, may we know your name?"
DM: He pauses. "Of course, that would only be polite as your host. My name is Count Baron S. Knight."
Party: ...
Tati (playing Seraph): No wonder the magistrate's wife was so confused!!
M (playing Kjell): Yeah, fully with her now!
Hamish (playing Thaddeus): "So... is that first name Baron-"
DM: "Last name Knight, yes."
Rach (playing Ashiok): "Well, your parents certainly had a sense of humour."
DM: He shrugs delicately. "Deva."
Tati: I ask, "What's the S stand for?"
DM: "Sir."
M: *howls* Count Baron Sir Knight! This is my favourite NPC ever!
Hamish: Yeah, I love him. I can't help it.

This sweater, I’ve just realized—
Tumblr media
The dark blue part that represents Logan has constellations 🌌
Tumblr media
And it took me a bit of research but I figured out that they are
Tumblr media
Cassiopeia
Tumblr media
the Big Dipper (Ursa Major)
and
Tumblr media
Lyra 🐰
(Lol makes sense that @breigrace who designed the emblem would have a little RWR Easter egg in there 💙)
Plus I love the stickers 😁

Okay but is it a good thing for people to look at your family Christmas photo and say that it looks photoshopped and edited? Just wondering since so many people have that same thought over on twitter who believe that Georgia and Anna were edited in
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's been so overwhelming to see the response to these new pics. I am sure probably everyone has seen them by now, but I will put up the visual just in case:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think I would agree with you that, in the most general sense, saying that someone's family Christmas photo looks Photoshopped/edited is probably not a positive thing. In the interest of fairness, looking at the pictures of the other people who were photographed at the event, it does seem like it was a problem with the lighting or editing overall that is affecting every photo, not just these pictures.
One thing I want to be clear on is that I think it's absolutely precious that Michael and David did this outing together, and are spending so much time together overall while Michael is in London. We had an inkling of that up until this point, but we literally went from a blurry photo to Michael and David gazing at each other across a crowded room on press night for Macbeth, to...this...in the span of less than a month. And I am glad that their kids are getting to spend time together and enjoy all of these holiday festivities as well. It's all very sweet and lovely, and in no way is it my intention to diminish that.
Thinking about the matching sweaters (jumpers), this is where I start to feel slightly less enthusiastic. It seems that the jumpers were Georgia's idea, which makes sense, as she previously had everyone wearing matching sweaters for a viewing party for "The Star Beast" (the first DW 60th anniversary episode). But having sweaters for Michael, AL, Lyra, and Mabli isn't an accident, or something that happens on the fly--it has to be planned. So for me, that makes it seem less like "spontaneous family outing" and more like "planned photo op meant to garner publicity."
What particularly gets me is that the both the matching sweaters for DW and the matching sweaters here feels like a gimmick...but Michael and David have never needed a "gimmick." Because Michael and David just being themselves has always been enough to be memorable. I'm not sure if Georgia thought she needed a gimmick to make herself and Anna stand out or what, but to me it almost feels like the sweaters are a diversion. As if Georgia perhaps knew the four them in a photo together would look awkward, so what better way to deflect than to give everyone something else to talk about. (Perhaps the same could also be said for Michael's hat, which...why, Michael? Haha.)
But it seems that Georgia's idea worked, because right after these pictures came out, an article was published about them in the Daily Mail. So all of this put together does give that feeling of being planned, especially because the four of them were so much the focal point of the DM article, more than any of the other celebrities at the event.
This brings me back to the aforementioned photos. Again, what seemed notable to me wasn't just what we did see, but what we didn't: No photo of Michael and Anna together, nor of David and Georgia, and not one of Georgia and AL, either. Instead, we have this group photo (where no one is actually touching and Georgia and AL's arms are awkwardly hanging side by side), and a photo of Michael and David where they are, with their arms around each other and Michael leaning into David, in contrast to his much stiffer posture in the group photo.
Looking at the Getty Images page, all of the other twosome photos are of couples, and none of them have the same unusual energy as Michael/David/Georgia/AL's group photo. So I do wonder if the fans pointing out the "Photoshopped" nature of the picture (and specifically that Georgia and AL appear to be edited in) have ever considered that maybe that is just how Georgia and AL look together. Because we're not talking about Staged, or social media posts. This is them, face to face, in real life, and the difference between Georgia and AL vs. Michael and David just seems pretty striking.
(I am also aware that there was another family photo that Georgia posted in an Insta story, and it is an incredibly cute picture, but I will say that what struck me is how Georgia and AL are pressed close together, but there is a very noticeable amount of space between Anna and David, and he seems to be giving off a lot of 'closed' body language (one hand in his lap, one folded behind him). Make of that what you will...)
So yes, those are my thoughts on the new pictures. I would love to hear any observations that anyone else has, of course, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Thanks for writing in! x

nanowrimo update - day twenty-seven (last one!!)
word count - 50189
YASSSS 50K!!! this is my third year winning on my birthday and let me tell you it feels so good. i am twenty years old AND a five-time nanowrimo winner. W’s only.
the excerpt is the last few lines of the story because i am honestly so proud of them. i hope that everyone who’s doing nano this month has had a wonderful time, and whether you win or not, you wrote, or at the very least thought about writing, and that’s what matters! congrats and good luck as the month closes out!!
excerpt:
I stay up a little bit longer. My brain is swimming in thoughts and memories, and for the first time I feel like I am able to stay afloat. Still, my eyelids eventually begin to droop and I know I’m ready for some desperately needed sleep.
Before I can give in, though, I must write. I write everything I can think of in my dairy with my magical, glowing pen.
And when I do, I remember everything.

I have no idea whether I'm asking about your canon or the unhinged madness in our DMs, but what would you say addams! Matz does for money? Like we've established that they're RICH rich but is it old money? Do they have coffers so overstuffed they probably won't have to worry about it the next few centuries? Black market trade? A law firm? I'm actually so curious about this LMAO
~lyra
oh they are RICH rich, not that they ever like to brag about it. they might have money but they’re actually very humble people underneath it all. if we overlook the huge victorian mansion, their humongous closet filled with clothes and their massive collection of antiquities and oddities, they’re just your average run of the mill family with a few (very successful) family businesses under their belt.
the first one is a antiques business. it’s no secret that rich people love owning one of a kind things, and it just so happens that through a family connection, hongjoong is able to get his hands on a lot of them. ancient treasures from athens and rome, stunning jewellery from historic kind and queens, even a few weapons that were used in famous wars and executions; hongjoong sells them all. of course, seonghwa and his dove get first pick. anything that either of you want is yours, no matter how much profit he’s sure it would bring at auction.
the second business is one of seonghwa’s own creation. the growing and selling of rare species of plant. he loves roses, first and foremost; they remind him of you, so delicate and sweet smelling. in fact, over recent months he’s found himself wanting to grow and sell more and more pink variants, as a pose to the red and black he usually goes for. he’s even bred a new variant which he so fondly named ‘lamb’. he doesn’t sell those ones though, choosing instead to decorate the house with the pastel flowers. they don’t quite match the decor, but he finds they look quite beautiful.
the third and final business is a jewellery business. hongjoong designs them and seonghwa models them; they’re a match made in heaven. most pieces have ruby or jet inclusions, but their most recent creation was a silver choker with a pink sapphire flower encrusted in the front. it sits in a display case in their wardrobe, the pair having yet to put it up for sale. it just doesn’t look right with seonghwa modelling it; perhaps hongjoong would have to request your assistance instead.

The "Darling" counter
I've been wondering idly about this since Vex re-appeared, and anyway, here's the best I can do for main cast campaign and EXU PCs. Note that I do count DM control in this. TLOVM is not included, and uses must be in-character and used specifically to address someone. This is up to date through episode 3x36, A Desperate Call, but does not include the most recent episode (3x37).
Vax: top recipients are Keyleth and Vex, each with 2. He also addressed Pike, Tary, and K'ryyn one time each.
Keyleth: only said darling once, to Vax.
Laudna: twice to Imogen, once each to Kunthea (NPC), Orym, and Chetney.
Scanlan: Once each to Keyleth and Vex
Loquatius: Once, to Laerryn
Percy: Three times to Vex; once each to Victor, Delilah, and Gwendolyn.
Molly: Once, to Jester
Grog: Once, to a barmaid NPC in Whitestone.
Fy'ra Rai: Once, to Opal.
Jester: Once, to Nugget
Imogen: Once, to FCG
Our lady of 'darling' herself, Vex:
to Percy: 39
to Keyleth, Scanlan, and Tary: 10 times each
to Vax: 9 times
to Trinket: 8 times
to Pike: 6 times
to Grog: 5 times
to Gilmore and Eskil Ryndarian: 4 times each
to Tiberius, and a Vasselheim potion-maker she was trying to bargain with: 3 times each
to Lyra, Tyriok, Kynan, Velora, Treev Bonebreaker, Allura, Sprigg, and the members of Bells Hells: 2 each
to Zahra, Lillith, Sylas, Hunin, Kyor, Kaylie, Garmelie, Cassandra, Dr. Dranzel, Derrig, Shanak (aka Bob), Vanessa (the Westruun refugee, not Vanessa Cyndrial of the Slayer's Take), Yulia, Wence, a blacksmith named Karen, a masked assailant, one of Uriel's guards, someone who was selling cows, a Westruun refugee child, and a bar patron in Hell: 1 each

Hiatus ended!
Hey everyone, sorry we haven't posted our dnd stories in months! There's been a lot going on but basically it got too hard to for the same person who takes quotes to also be one of our current DMs and the whole thing got too overwhelming.
We are only going to be posting quotes from our TTC sessions for now, as the problem came from DM Tati trying to take quotes while running GSP sessions. Sorry to those who enjoyed the shenanigans of Diardi, Gregor, Harriet, Hesty, Hunter, WA and Winnifred, but you'll just have to imagine how their story continues.
We have still been playing all this time, so instead of trying to catch up with quotes we'll summarize Travelling Trauma Centre's adventures in the intervening months (under cut) and then pick up at our current point!
What has TTC been up to since we last posted?
We finished the dungeon The Court of the Crimson King, eventually destroying all but one of the automaton bosses including the Crimson King and his mecha red dragon (Ashiok died in that fight by being completely fucking bisected, but we brought her back to life). We made a truce with the Purple Piper, who without his King to give orders had no further desire for conquest, and went on to hire him and his remaining half dozen automata to guard our manor in Suda (important later) while he proves himself trustworthy.
We then made our way to a town where the son of the mayor kept being kidnapped and ransomed, financially ruining the mayor. We discovered it was a long-term scam wherein the mayor's son had been replaced by a changeling (the real son was living happily with the changeling clan!) and kept getting kidnapped on purpose, but in a twist the 'son' had grown fond of the mayor and wanted to stop robbing him. We brokered a deal between the factions that benefitted everyone (except the changeling leader who went to jail) and convinced the changelings to find more honest work.
From there we travelled up the nearby mountain where there was a dragon we'd been meaning to deal with, Nimble Claws. We had previously encountered a green dragon called The Rotten who had been injured when the younger blue took over his territory. By all accounts life in the mountain had been worse for pretty much everyone since. Unfortunately Nimble Claws had also moved in her elder dragon boyfriend since claiming the territory so we had a lot of dragon on our hands. The Rotten met us there and we managed to sneak all the way into the lair and challenge the boyfriend Cosnemra (chaddest dragon to ever chad) to a duel. We eventually killed Cosnemra and took his skull, whereupon The Rotten (taking Cosnemra's name) decided that instead of killing Nimble Claws and reclaiming his territory would rather move in with her and her egg, allowing her to continue her tyranny. We left with intent to level up and come back to wipe them both out.
We knew peace in Suda for a short while before we were woken in the night by the sounds of fighting. Our brand new automaton guards were fending off a hit squad of kuo'toa, and beyond our garden the city was in flames. We spent a frantic night beating back the kuo-toa hordes and eventually made it to the palace in time to prevent the monsters making it to the emperor (though a lot of people died that night). It turned out the one pulling the strings was... Larissa Firespit, the dragonborn lich we'd already killed twice but whose phylactery we'd failed to destroy before she spawned a third time. Unfortunately with the kuo'toa on her side she was on the cusp of ascending to godhood, and she was intent on finishing us off for good this time. We stole a couple hours of sleep and then stormed her temple in the sewers beneath the city, where she was accompanied by four angels suspiciously veiled in spiderwebs. She put up a tough fight but eventually she was destroyed.
We trudged wearily back to the palace to report to Emperor Cherish and his head bodyguard Dorphi. We told him of all that had transpired and confirmed with one of his personal divination wizards that the lich was finally gone permanently. We then went on to warn him that one of the nobles in the city was really Lolth in disguise, and she had aided Larissa in the attack with her angels and her divine influence. At that moment who should walk in to the emperor's chambers but Lolth in her noble disguise. She berated us for throwing away the perfect opportunity she had given us - to have Larissa kill the emperor so that we could go on to defeat the lich and have Billie take the throne as she was destined to do (she also admitted she had produced the quests that removed all our allies from the city just days before). When we asked why, she declared that she was still determined to have our help in defeating Demogorgon, and we were going to need the resources of the throne to succeed. She then tried to force us to kill the emperor, and when it became clear we weren't going to she threw a deadly spear at him herself, barely intercepted by the party tanks. We resorted to our old ways of bag of holding abuse; Seraph stuffed the emperor into her Bag and then teleported away to our bolt hole at the nearby university. The Spider Queen conceded the day to us and left, while old friend and deus ex machina Maria Cleaves teleported back into the city to help. Everyone reconvened back at the palace and Billie made a plan with the emperor to officially declare her legitimate claim (and loyalty) to the throne and name her as heir, to remove the need for Lolth to kill him.
-
This was a pivotal sequence for TTC and levelled us to 21 (the beginning of Epic Tier; 4th edition having 30 player levels) and granting us our Epic Destinies. During the conversation with Lolth Thaddeus called on Pelor for strength and in response was made an Exalted Angel complete with wings and halo. By summoning Maria and teleporting the emperor away from certain death, Seraph connected directly to the source of magic and became Magic Incarnate. Ashiok was once again dominated by Lolth as god of the drow, but that humiliation and pain catalyzed her path as a Harbinger of Doom destined to destroy Lolth. Billie's refusal to betray the emperor and her oath to make things right in her own way made her a Topaz Crusader with a particular enmity for demons. Kjell's fearlessness in the face of divinity unlocked his Archfey bloodline. Godric had already been offered a fusion of souls and power by his patron, and will take up his chosen destiny the next time they meet.
Following these climactic events TTC needed some down time and spent the last few weeks of the summer on a road trip, visiting family around Persia. Seraph finally returned to the village of Moraspire that was destroyed in her childhood to find it rebuilt and thriving, but her parents confirmed dead. Thaddeus checked in on the tiny village of Piravhaz and found all was well, which he had set out as an adventurer to ensure. Billie visited her baker mums for the first time since being driven out of her village and finally caught them up on all her adventures. Kjell took us to meet his family, finally able to show them the fine man he has become since his difficult departure. Godric decided not to visit his family, having finally made peace with his past and no longer needing their approval or validation to love himself. The party then returned to Suda to sort things out re: Billie's adoption to the royal family, and to embark on the next arc of their extraordinary story.

This is how you make an RP Blog Promo, right?
Info Below The Cut
First and foremost, I'm still learning things about the 40K universe through the *sighs* 1-2 hour-long videos on YouTube. So please do not expect me to know every last thing there is to know about Warhammer, at least I AM trying. If I don't know something, I will take the time to go look that shit up.
+ Rp Muses are Lyra and Viktor. + You can send as many starter memes as you wish, I may not respond to all of them. + Relationships are okay. Chemistry comes first, though. + "Crack" RPs are okay. That means funny haha's that doesn't pertain to solid RP threads and character development. + I will NOT do ns/fw themes with minors, that include gore and violence, not just s3x. + Please just one person per thread. Do not comment on a thread if you're not a part of it.
+ Any God-modding and I'm just going to stop RPing with you. + DM RPs are okay. + Discussing an RP plot in DMs is okay too.
If you have questions, feel free to ask. :3

So anna posted this picture just after the trailer the assembly got released abit it fairly obvious after the trailer showed the 1st question so is she trying to show ppl that michael happy in this photo like he smile like he happy or been made to look happy for the family photo
What ur thoughts on Al post
Tumblr media
Ask from @kime11e, who also included a screenshot of the above comments:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Grouping all of these together for ease of answering.)
So...whew. Of course this all had to happen on Wednesday as I was at one speaking engagement and traveling on the way to another one today. Let me just make sure I have the order of events down... - The trailer for The Assembly came out earlier in the day; - Anna then shared the above photos from the trip to Disneyland Paris; - An hour or so after that, she shared the trailer as an Insta story; - ...And then a few hours later we see that she's replied to the comment in the screenshot above.
Wow. It feels like an entire week (or month's) worth of content somehow happened in the space of a day. I will say that for me, again what this all comes down to is timing and/or PR. The trailer was released and soon all of social media was abuzz over that one particular question (It was rude! It was totally fine! Let's use this as another excuse to attack Michael! and so on...). Bear in mind that we (as of now) have no idea what Michael's answer is to that question, but that did not stop the almighty furor from the fans assuming that he must have been offended/uncomfortable/upset and so on, and this set off a wave of fresh speculation and discussion about Michael and AL's relationship.
...And just when all of this chatter is happening, AL posts the family photos. The reasons for this could be numerous, from damage control (again, without us knowing how he even responded to the question) to trying to (again) push the "happy family" image, to who knows what. Whatever the case may be, I really don't feel like the timing was a coincidence. Also again, I am baffled by her choice of caption: "We dragged him" immediately followed by the tag #itwashisidea. Two things that seem to contradict each other, leaving it unclear what the truth actually is. Was it actually Anna's idea, insisting on them going away on Michael's three days off, and using that tag as a deflection?
It becomes even more interesting when you realize that David and Georgia are currently in Disneyland as well (albeit in California, rather than Paris). Not long after AL posted the pictures, the discourse on social media immediately shifted to "Omg, are Michael and David and their families are on vacation together?" And just like that, the focus yet again shifted away from AL and back to Michael and David (as it always seems to do).
One other thing that is interesting about the caption is that one of my followers sent me the below screenshot via DM, which is of a tweet Michael wrote in 2020 for Lyra's birthday, and the similarities are quite striking:
Tumblr media
The cadence of AL's caption and Michael's tweet could be a complete coincidence, but it's hard not to think that there is some PR aspect to this/that someone went to the trouble of echoing a previous tweet about the kids to reinforce a particular narrative.
In any case, I do think it is lovely to see Michael smiling, which he always does when the kids are there (in contrast, notably, to when we are talking about a picture of just him and AL). But what really struck me about all of this is the comment shown above, and Anna's response to it. The commenter added another response that is not shown, so I will include a screenshot of it now:
Tumblr media
What's so interesting is that the commenter asked exactly the same question that Michael was asked in The Assembly trailer...and AL set a very specific tone in her response to that (and to this commenter).
I've been surprised to see people characterize her response as "chill," when there is really nothing chill about this at all. It's her typical passive-aggressive style, which we're all used to at this point, but it also reeks of insecurity. I have a hard time seeing how this makes her a "queen," as someone who is "unbothered" would not respond in the way that she did. Regardless of whether the commenter was asking sincerely or meant it as a dig, someone who genuinely felt confident and secure in their relationship wouldn't even respond to this comment at all. I'm also not sure what people expected her to say. Do we think she would be fully honest about her feelings or admit to any cracks in their relationship? Most people (famous and otherwise) would not, and certainly not on social media, either.
My feeling is that Anna was very bothered by this, and (again) tried to copy Georgia's snarky/quippy way of responding to comments, and likely did not at all expect that person to throw it right back at her. So why, then, bother responding at all? Why not just block the person, or ignore the comment entirely? Because from my perspective, it seems like all AL did was draw attention to it, and to the fact that it struck a nerve in her, which just does not seem to be a good look from any angle. And all of this coupled with the timing of the post directly after the release of the trailer really makes me wonder what, exactly, Michael said in his interview. We'll find out soon enough, though, since the show airs tomorrow.
That is my take on AL's post and all of the events of the past few days. As always, this is only my perspective, but I am glad to hear from my followers with your thoughts, whether you agree or disagree. Thanks for writing in! x

Also the mortality crisis, while it wasn't resolved, Ioun did try to help and even apologized. Emily also upon hearing the "Some people hate their jobs!" freaked out and went "LYRA?! YOU HATE US?! D:" which forced them to talk and ended in Emily inviting Lyra to stay with her.
I changed Lyra's design as a result, the implication is sort of that because their problems, while not fixed completely, are starting to get resolved, he's finally in a good enough headspace to try and take care of themself again.
Tumblr media
This one is Emily and Lyra in the future! Lyra found a sand dollar :) Lyra's dress is supposed to be lace but I wasn't sure how to draw it so. Also this was my first time drawing Emily ever! I'm satisfied with it honestly
WOE! ANGST BE UPON YE!

These aren't references to any particular events I just wanted to draw her sad

Phei of the Wind-Wip Introduction
Tumblr media
Do you remember when the wind still lived and a single step could change the world?
PHEI of the WIND
Introspective NA Fantasy | 3rd Draft | Hope | Humanity | Ambivalence
Far above the highest mountains, the kingdom of Breiðyria lies hidden. It is one composed of rocks the size of cities drifting on invisible currents. Phei, a halfling harpy, is the only person there who hasn't seen the worlds below the impenetrable clouds, and the only person left tending to the kingdom's remaining few shrines. But the winds are changing, and when Phei discovers that the surface-world could soon face grave danger, nobody seems to care.
Eager to escape her home, to meet her human ancestors and to discover her own place in the world, Phei finds an opening in the clouds and glides down. But the world below the clouds has already begun its collapse, as those who remain struggle to survive.
Follow Phei as she uncovers the wounds of her people, meeting ghosts of a forgotten realm in order to understand what happened, and to ensure it won't happen again. Because it only takes a single step on the surface for Phei to realise that calamity has never left, and that the balance of her world is even frailer than she imagined.
CHARACTERS
Phei Sageblossom | idealistic and stubborn, all to a fault | Breiðyria's last Sage, trained in using not her eyes, but her spirit to see the world. A cheerful yet serious, gentle yet fierce scalian who runs away from home in order to find one for herself.
Aspen | when everyone leaves, you stop trying to hold on | A lone vagrant, passing through the icy north before being taken in by a new mother, only to be pulled away once more when the fate of the world comes calling, even though she doesn't want to heed that call.
SIDE CHARACTERS
Noh’Ak : last heir of a forgotten race, a show-off with a broken heart
Oblivia : featherless bird, destined to fly. Phei's dearest childhood friend.
Celia : spirit guard of yesterday’s flaws. A spirit with more than just her face hidden behind her mask.
Edel : mysterious weaver of fate. A scalian whose hands are never clean.
Lyra Swiftwind : both the bridge to the future and the anchor of the past. In charge of the east's last bastion of humanity, all in a desperate attempt to hold on to the past.
EXCERPT
The forest around the shrine is dying. Branches of trees hang still in the wind without their leaves, unstirred, lonely. No grass pokes through the dirt, reducing the world to a mix of brown and grey. Phei bends down and picks up a fallen crane idol, cleaning off the mud and placing it back onto the wooden crown.
“What made you run away, little one?” she asks, and the fuzzy orange spirit reappears on her shoulder. Its black eyes peek around frantically as it hops around from one shoulder to the other. Phei puts her hand on her chest. The tips of her feathers light up briefly, but her spirit burns on peacefully, undisturbed.
“There doesn’t seem to be anyone nearby with ill intents,” she says in an attempt to calm down the spirit. “I can ignite the crown again, but you’d be all alone until the forest recovers.”
The spirit lets out a high pitched tweet and vanishes again, staying warm near Phei’s own spirit.
Phei chuckles to herself before cleaning out a few more idols and putting them back on their proper positions.
“There,” she says. “Much better.”
AUTHOR'S NOTE
It's me again~! This story has gone through so many variations that I can understand if it's a bit hard to keep track. But this is hopefully going to be the last draft before the story is in a state where it can be beta-read, so that's very exciting! Even if the summary sound a bit... dreadful, the story at heart is one about kindness and love, so no need to worry about that. I've already posted a lot about this story over the years, so check out the Masterpost if you feel like reading some more. And of course if you have any questions feel free to dm or send an ask, I'm always happy to chat about it! Let me know if you'd like to be added to the taglist as well.
Let's make 2023 a brighter one than the last,
lots of love,
Katrielle
