Hi! I love your blog and deep dives. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the Lolth-worshipper stuff you can find in the whispering depths, close to the well entrance. If I remember correctly, the journals suggest that the worshipper of lolth was an elf but not a drow? Do you think it might connect to any of the other characters we run into in bg3?

Hello, and thank you for an interesting question!

The story of Eliette, the high elf who began to worship Lolth and became the phase spider matriarch, is a very interesting and tragic one. So far, unfortunately, I found no connections between her and other characters from BG3 (or from D&D lore in general).

I suppose that it might be possible to create such connections - only, we do not know very much about Eliette and her past.

🕷️ Surface Life - from the Bloody Journal we know that the elf who became the phase spider was named Eliette. She was a high elf from the surface, but where or when exactly she lived - it is a mystery.

This fragment: "I weep for the decades spent treading the murky waters of profanity..." may suggest that Eliette was still a young elf when she was taken to the Underdark - she wrote about "decades" spent on the surface, not "centuries".

🕷️ Captured - Eliette mentioned "drow captors" in her journal, so at some point, she was clearly captured and brought to the Underdark.

From time to time, drow organize night raids on the surface settlements, and many elves do not survive such attacks. Drow typically prefer to kill them (or torment them and kill them later) than to let them live. It is quite possible, then, that Eliette was captured during such a raid - and that she saw many of her family members and friends dying that night 😔

🕷️ Slave - Lolth-sworn drow usually do not have a habit of keeping surface elves as slaves - they hate them by default and they think them (and surfacers in general) weak and ill-suited for life in the Underdark.

There are exceptions, though. Some drow may want to keep a particularly skilled or interesting elf as a useful slave, a curiosity or a plaything (Halsin's story can be an example of that).

Eliette clearly possessed some knowledge of arcane arts (sketched spell runes in the journal) - so maybe that was the reason why her drow captors found her too useful to simply kill her. Regardless of the reason, she survived and was kept by some noble house as a slave - for a long time, probably, since her own name began to feel "foreign" to her at some point.

🕷️ Menzoberranzan - Eliette mentioned "arachnomancers of Menzoberranzan" in her journal, so we can probably safely assume that this was the city where she was kept as a slave. She must have seen arachnomancers there and picked up some knowledge about them since later, she was able to recognize one's sigils (Tattered Journal).

I have no idea which one of the noble houses of Menzoberranzan could keep Eliette as their slave. She wrote: "I see their house's downfall in visions granted by the Spider Queen herself. When that day comes, when some unnamed whelp from an insignificant house cuts the matron mother's throat..." - but there is nothing overly specific there.

If her visions were true, the house ultimately ended up destroyed and its matron mother was killed - but it is a common end for many drow houses, both lesser and greater ones.

Maybe arachnomancers could be some clue - at least one noble house was particularly associated with them. For example, house wizard of House Melarn of Menzoberranzan was an arachnomancer and Melarni seemed to have an affinity for arachnomancers in general. But the end of the house from Eliette's vision would not fit...

🕷️ To sum things up - Eliette's story is not connected to any BG3 character, but theoretically, some Lolth-sworn drow from Menzoberranzan might remember her:

elven slave is not exactly a usual sight in a drow city, so - unless Eliette was rarely seen outside of the house compound - someone might have noticed her,

many Lolth-sworn drow would find the story about high elf being fascinated by Lolth utterly delightful - or absurd. Either way, it would probably make a popular rumour,

some Menzoberranyr drow might connect Eliette's vision described in her journal with some house's story, recognizing the facts.

These are only "what if..." scenarios, though.

Hello! Ty for doing my other request 😊

I’m sorry if I’m being a nuisance but would it be alright to request a yandere kuroo x yn/reader with period cramps? Like they get bad cramps so yan kuroo is really really worried for his darling so he takes care of her all through it 🥺

Again, thank you!!

- 🍗 💖

♡ Heating Pad ♡

(A/N: Y’all always send in these requests at the right time!! My cramps are so bad right now and I only wish I had a yandere to take care of me 😔😔😔 Also, doll, there is absolutely no reason to be sorry!! I love your requests and you’re not being a nuisance at all 💖)

Content Warning ⚠️: Yandere, periods, pain, Kuroo is a sweetie 🥺🥺

Summary: You gave cramps and Kuroo tries to help you (Yan!Kuroo x AFAB!reader)

Masterlist ➸ ♡

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

You hadn’t gotten out of bed all day, not even to eat. Not by your choice. No, instead you couldn’t get our of bed because your cramps were that bad. You were used to cramps on your period but even so, every time it was absolutely awful.

You groan, rolling over on your side, pulling the blanket over your head. You hear the bedroom door open. Before you could peak to see Tetsuro, he’s already pulling the blanket off of your face. “Have you been in bed all day?” He asks, seeing you frown.

“Yes” you say annoyed before trying to pull the blanket over you again. “Leave me alone” you mumble from underneath the blanket. Tetsuro doesn’t lift up the blanket again, simply kneeling in front of the bed. “What’s wrong with you, baby? You’re never this sassy with me” He says, you feel a bit bad for being a little harsh at how worried he sounds for you.

“I’m just on my period. My cramps hurt really bad” you say softly before continuing. “It should end in a few days though” you says, as if to say you’ll be okay. “So you’re just gonna lay around in pain for a week?” Tetsuro asks, watching you finally poke your head out of the blanket.

“Yes” you say simply watching him stand up from his position. “Is there anything that can help with the pain?” He asks, watching you think for a moment. “Ummm medicine and a heating pad usually” you mumble against the pillow you lay on, grumbling as another cramp hits you.

Tetsuro lightly sighs at the sight. He hates seeing you in pain. “I’ll be right back” he says, walking out of the room and into the storage closet in the hallway. He knows he has a heating pad. He uses it if he hurts himself while working out.

He comes back, handing the heating pad to you. “Thank you” you say softly, sighing at the feeling of the warm pad against your abdomen. It feels so nice. “I don’t have any medicine but I can go get some” he says, watching you nod your head. “Thank you” you call out as he leaves the room.

♡ ♡ ♡

“Kitten~ I’m back” Kuroo calls out, opening up the door the bedroom, the bag from the corner store in his hands. He wasn’t sure which medicine would work the best so he just got as many as he could. He picked up your favorite snacks and drink too, he thought it would make you feel better.

He smiles a bit at the sight of you. Looks like the heating pad was so comfortable that you fell asleep. He gently lifts the blanket up, taking the heating pad off of you. He knows if you fell asleep with it on, you might accidentally burn your skin.

He puts down the bag he got on the bedside table, crawling under the bed with you. He’s no heating pad but he hopes you’ll feel a bit better with him beside you.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵ Thank you for reading, darling!!

hey it's piano anon here to rant about life 😔 (it is all piano related though)

Just my brain short circuited lmao it's actually been more than 10 years I've been doing piano.

I hate playing piano so much I honestly can't imagine how you enjoy it. I mean, it's good you enjoy it, but it's been constant misery for me for as long as I can remember. When I was little I would fight with my parents about it nearly every day and now I force myself to practice but I hate it so much. Pretty much the only reason I can force myself is that I got permission to practice in a local church, so it's a way to get out of the house.

I have to be good at it because I'm pressured into doing the exams every year and I have to pass them. But I would be way better if I actually liked playing. I'm basically "bare minimum for my level" good but I'm in level 9 now :/ (I know that means nothing lol since there's so many different level systems but. trust me on this one)

My teacher is. complicated. She's the best teacher in the area but she's not good at being nice to her students lol. She would routinely make me cry until I stopped being capable of crying (which. 😬😬). I still want to cry tho

My older brother picked piano to learn when he was little and when I was old enough to have basic motor skills my mom signed me up too. Notice: my brother got to pick, I did not. My parents like to laugh how they had to bribe 3-year-old me to sit down and practice but basically that they forced me to play it because it's my mom's favorite instrument and also my brother picked it.

My brother is actually really good. Because he loves it. When he was 10 and I was 8 he played Wedding Day at Troldhaugen (and won international prizes for it) and I remember mostly being secretly upset about it because I wanted to be able to play it (and feeling really bad about being kind of jealous). (Whenever I hear that piece even now I nearly have a heart attack.) I tried so hard to like piano so many times over the years, but I just hate playing it. I've got nothing against other people playing it, I like quite a lot of piano music (except the overplayed ones lmao, I hate fur elise).

And like obviously the worst parts are learning new stuff and practicing but I hate performing too. I'm shaking the whole time and have to think about not only the million different things to play well but also like my facial expressions and stuff and like all the examiners and my teacher say i'm very Musical but piano does Not come naturally to me. I've improved at sight reading lately but my brain works in melodies, not chords and two separate hands and stuff. And I can't just learn how to make my brain work like that.

When I was 9 we played recorder at school. It's usually kind of an infamous childhood experience but I LOVED it. Long story short I was really good at it and loved it and since then I've badly wanted to play a woodwind. Flute specifically. But my mom makes fun of (pretty viciously) literally every other musician. Strings, because it's "squeaky". Brass, because it's "goofy". Drums, because she thinks they have dumb jobs. etc, etc. She's like that about everything though. I used to do piano competitions (my brother still does) and like everyone is a piano player there but 90% of the kids there are asian (we're not) and she's extremely racist about it and i'm just there trying to be grateful that at least she's not saying stuff like that in english.

Last year I tried to learn guitar. At zero cost to my parents. I found some pretty good free online lessons and used my dad's old guitar. Which was absolutely huge on me. I had to bend over it weirdly to reach the strings and it was so big on me it was hard to stretch my fingers to the chords lol. I tried to hide what I was doing but it's kind of hard to hide a whole large guitar. My dad was fine with it initially but my mom got really mad at me for wasting time and that I should be focusing on school and stuff and then my dad got mad at me too. I haven't touched it since.

If my parents would actually support it I'd definitely ask to try flute since I've wanted to for the last 4 years BUT not only would they probably not let me, if it didn't go well they would never let me do anything again and constantly use it against me. Also they would probably make me drop piano to do it (which yes i hate it buuuut I love music and piano is all I have since they also made me stop the singing lessons I was allowed to take for like 1 month and I've also been doing it forever so I'm kind of scared to lose it. if that makes sense.)

(disclaimer by the way. I am aware my writing tone in this whole thing is awful but I'm too tired to go edit it I'm so sorry )

hey piano anon!

from what you’ve said, you’re an amazing pianist and i am thoroughly impressed. i don’t perform or have fancy levels to categorize my playing, i just play for myself most of the time, and that’s enough.

but from what you’ve said, i don’t think you hate piano, but that you hate the environment in which you were raised with piano. first off, your mom kinda sucks, ngl. like i don’t like her. any parent that tells their kid that their hobby or experimentation (like your guitar playing, keep it up btw!) is useless, futile, a waste of time etc., just sucks all around. not to mention the stuff you said about the racism. rancid! but i think the competitive and rigid environment that you grew up in with your brother is the reason why you don’t like piano. from what you’ve told me anon, these issues run deeper than, “i hate piano”, and i would advise doing some reflecting and getting some psychiatric help if it’s available. it’s nice to talk to someone about stuff like this rather than deflecting it with not like piano.

as for your other musical forays, i say keep them up to the best of your ability! keep practicing that guitar, and maybe even ask your dad for help with it if it’s possible! i actually play flute as well, so i was pleasantly surprised to see that you’re attached to that specific woodwind! being a flutist is the music world equivalent of being a horse girl, and it’s absolutely wonderful. i’ve been playing flute since 5th grade, and out of all the instruments i know, it’s been the easiest to master once you get a feel for the technique. perhaps your church has someone who knows how to play and wouldn’t mind showing you some stuff?

anyway, keep everything musical up! always! music is one of the ways that people are able to stay sane, and it saddens me whenever someone violently doesn’t like one aspect of it, for whatever reason. take care anon! and you’re welcome to talk about piano with me literally anytime!

#sorry if there are spelling errors #or if i missed something #i’m tired and it’s early in the morning #my posts #ask

At the beginning of the chapter I need a "previously on…" like in those episodes of tv shows. The last thing I remember from the ch15 is Dani with her flower crowns and Bela talking with Cass 😭

Gosh it took me so long to read this chapter because ✨thoughts✨ and I was losing it every few seconds 😭

Onto the points

1. "Is there even a reason they choose to spend their time hanging around-"

Maybe bro's just lonely 😔

2. "The flickering orange light from your fireplace bounces beautifully off their black feathers, and if they were anyone else, you’d be entranced by the sight"

Reader ain't me, I am entranced regardless.

3. Cassandra meeting Lunatic is both funny and also kinda sad. I think Lunatic kinda takes out their anger and hurt on Reader's Cass. They've been throught a lot and even if she isn't exactly the same person Lunatic's version of her is, now that they're stronger they can use it as a form of some kind of revenge. Miranda creates a perfect opportunity for them and they have this false sense of having someone who'll get their back if something goes wrong. So they feel superior.

Now this moment is like meeting your abuser many many years later and thinking you got this and you can be cool about it but even if Lunatic tries to act confident it's clear they fear her :(

And it goes off the script. As they only interacted after Miranda's instructions.

That must have cut deep through their little bird's heart <\3

5. “Your eyes (…). They’re the same shade of gold as her own"

"three sets of black wings, so similar to hers? Even you cannot pretend that is mere coincidence"

The allegations of Reader being Miranda's child are really hard to beat even with the other evidences that say otherwise.

6. Me: is this possible to hate Red even more?

Nix: hold my wine

Glad they got their ass beaten my god

Also

Lunatic and Reader teaming up against them??? Hell yeah gimme that! I need it

Flashbacks to bloodthirsty feral Bela but thankfully this time she didn't have murder on her mind

CASSANDRA MY FAVOURITE SOCIALLY AWKWARD BIOLOGY NERD LOSER I LOVE HER SO MUCH

9. These homosexuals make me all warm and fuzzy please 😔 they're so adorable together and the way you write them always cheers me up and brings a smile to my face.

Please continue to bless us with your writing

LUNA CHAPTER ANALYSIS INCOMING ‼️‼️

i feel like i need to get better at mentioning time skips at the beginning of chapters- 😭

ANYWAYS

1. Lunny is 100% just lonely and wants “sane” people to be around while they sulk and think

2. not relatable Reader moment ‼️

3. this analysis got my heart twisting 😭 i feel like they definitely understand that the real Cassandra isn’t going to harm them for no reason like their version would, but the scars and trauma are still there. they act all tough and pretend they’re stronger and more capable than what they’ve been through in the past, but when faced with it again, maybe they briefly revert back to who they were in the beginning. just a lost, scared soul trying to survive in a literal hellhole

4. definitely made them rethink some things-

5. HEHE >:3

6. we ride at dawn to avenge Daniela and be rid of her sadness that Red “technically” left her

(totally not planning more of those interactions in the future. i would never :3)

7. no murder, just horny thoughts ‼️

8. AROACE CASSANDRA FOR THE WIN ‼️ THE AWKWARD LITTLE AUTISTIC LOSER IS BACK TO BEING ADORABLE AND GETTING FLUSTERED AT THE SIGHT OF READER BEING SLIGHTLY NAKEY ‼️ god i am so in love with her please

9. hehehe, i definitely plan to continue! i’ll have to think on what i want for the next chapter, but things have been set in motion >:3 i love writing and sharing these homosexuals and it literally brings me so much joy to see y’all enjoying them the way i do pls-

#asks #also i plan to get to your comm later today!!#i’ll probably eat smth and nap first bc i haven’t slept in well over 24 hours #😃#but i will get to it asap and get it to you >:3 #god getting asks like this makes my entire day pls

guess what bitches im still not done yelling about prototype!!! i am Many Thoughts Head Full. im almost certainly giving these two games more analysis than they deserve and im definitely grasping at straws but. i have a theory that alex is (in the end of 1 and throughout 2) trying to kill himself. my evidence was as follows:

as i mentioned earlier in a previous rant post, dropping the bomb offshore Really Seemed like it was supposed to be self sacrificial but didnt work out

he later expresses regret about. y’know. being a man eating nastyboy

in 2 the like Main plot point is he’s creating an army of nastyboys like him for Unknown Purposes. this reminded me of how in claymore (spoiler) the reason priscilla spared clare and little girls like her was to create her own killers, she was subconsciously allowing more warriors to be created who had a chance of killing her. anyway whats the point of making a guy who obviously hates you into a super powerful nastyboy if not so he gets a chance of success

and like. all this adds up to a pretty interesting & compelling narrative, right? i think so. i dont think the game thinks so. as of tonight i think they took a somewhat shallow look at a fairly complicated Chaotic Evil character with a chance at redemption and was like lets just jam him into the role of Moustache Twirling Antagonist. in 1 alex is shown to be self centered and short sighted to a fault and here he is in 2 making all these Plans and Machinations to, as far as i can tell, just Control everything? like why give a shit? it seems out of character. anyway im still not done yet and i would Love to be surprised but as it is now im in that TES territory of oh man it sure would be great if That went like This... 😔

#td plays prototype2 #i am having an excellent time with the game itself tho dont get me wrong #suicide mention #claymore spoilers #me: haha big sword arm go brrr :)#also me: pepesilvia.jpg #long post #its 4am
