bsky exclusive wip wednesday is from the chapter I'm writing right now for my fields of mistria longfic that's in progress on ao3. Just some March / farmer (Evie) cute things :)

screenshot of text in Scrivener that reads:

Together, they watched him go and Evie breathed in deeply before releasing a sigh and tucking the envelope in her pocket. “Well… that was unexpected. Anyway, home? Or… well yours at any rate.”
March smiled. “Sounds good to me.”
“Oh! We could have hot chocolate before bed! Do you have the stuff for it?”
She must have been eager to move on from whatever it was Eiland brought with him and March was willing to oblige. Guiding them to turn back in the direction of his house, he hummed as if he had to think about it long. “I’m pretty sure we can swing that.”
So together, upon arriving back at the shop, in the kitchenette behind the storefront, they made hot chocolate then sat on the anvil and watched the stars. He pointed out his favorite constellations and she rested her head on his shoulder as together they shared a blanket. For the first time, he felt at peace. His heart didn’t race. He didn’t feel an ounce of embarrassment. It just felt right.
And it only felt more right when at one point, she shifted to look up at him and he met her gaze with a smile. Grinning, she whispered to him and the stars above. “I think I love this.”
Despite not saying it outright, he knew what she alluded to because he felt that way too. So, pressing a kiss to her hairline, he simply affirmed, “I think I love this too.”

I love seeing posts teasing Estinien about his money skills because it reminds me that I have a discord Estinien bot that just shows up randomly in chat to say shit like:

An Estinien themed discord bot saying "how much does a banana cost, WoL? 1000 gil?" in chat

It's not much but sending hugs if you want. I stopped creating for a specific fandom because it just became SO MUCH with how people talk about creators (especially creators talking about other creators).

✨ TADA WIP WEDNESDAY ✨

Here's some bits of the fic that I was talking about earlier for #FieldsofMistria. This one is consuming my mind as I try to fill in lore gaps and so on and just really expand on the historical references in game but regardless, enjoy!!

Screenshot of tumblr post text with a thin splash image beneath of swirling purple colors that reads:

WIP Wednedsay - 10/15/2025
Snippet Info:
Ship: Caldarus / Eiland / Farmer (eventually)
Past lives, reincarnation stuff, this takes place during the past when Eiland's past self, Kiliaen (Kiel), is meeting with the farmer's past self, Mathilda, just before her binding ceremony to become the Caldosian Dragonsworn.

AH SHIT ITS WIP WEDNESDAY GOTTA FIGURE SOMETHING OUT LMAO

Quinn 🌻🎶🌟 @quinnthebard.bsky.social · 20h

ANYWAY, if you like Eiland / Caldarus but also think they have two hands and can hold the farmer's, then you're in luck. I've been cooking lmao

Quinn 🌻🎶🌟 @quinnthebard.bsky.social · 20h

I deleted one comma from the previous post because I decided all the extra o's on my lmao were more important

Quinn 🌻🎶🌟 @quinnthebard.bsky.social · 20h

Especially since it's going to be like dual timeline, past lives / reincarnation, poly ship, there's a dragon involved, all sorts of fun things lmaoooooooo

I literally started including ages in the beginning of the outline entries for each chapter because I was like, hold on this doesn't make sense

Quinn 🌻🎶🌟 @quinnthebard.bsky.social · 20h

I've been actually outlining the other Fields of Mistria longfic I want to write which is nice because otherwise I think I will go insane and start posting yet another longfic and I know that will do severe damage to my psyche trying to keep up with two at the same time lol

Just sending hugs and words of affirmation that you are such a strong and kind person despite the hardships you've gone through.

it's not love (it might be closer to despair) - Chapter 19

Image of text only:

Chapter 19 Summary

“I’m fine.” She paused to take a sip, suppressing an errant giggle. “It’s just been such a weird day.”

March settled back into his seat beside her, but his eyes remained watching. “You’re sure? Just… weird?”

He almost sounded insecure as he asked, compelling her to grab his hand with a gentle squeeze. “There were some good parts too, I suppose.”

Sharing because I always worry that I'm missing something when adding alt-text and it has pointers. I also didn't know there was a reminder feature built-in :D

azteclady @azteclady.bsky.social · 4d

Please add alt-text when sharing images, so that blind and low-vision people aren't excluded from the conversation. Some context and copy/paste or a brief description are often enough. Checking the "reminder to add alt-text" box in your accessibility settings helps a lot.

Thank you.

Six panel, cartoon-style graphic titled, why use alt-text?
First panel: slow internet. Next to a line drawing of a phone showing a social media post with an image, where the alt-text is visible while the image is unavailable. Text reads: Alt-text is shown in place of unloaded images.
Second panel: Findability. A line drawing of the top of a phone, showing the search bar, reading "dog with banana". The text above it reads: Alt-text helps to search content.
Third panel: screen readers. In lieu of the image, a blank square with alt-text shows up; the text above the box reads: Alt- is read out to people using text-to-speech software.
Fourth panel: translation. There's a line drawing of a phone, showing the Google translate box, reading "English to Deutsch". The text above reads: Alt-text can be translated.
Fifth panel: readability. There's a line drawing showing very poor writing inside a dialogue bubble; next to it the clarifying text "a character says 'hello, guys'" The text above the drawing reads, Text in images can be made legible.
Sixth panel: disambiguation. The line drawing of the phone again, showing part of an image that, depending on how you look at it, seems to be either a bunny or a duck. The clarifying text reads, "my pet bunny".

An infographic titled “Writing Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Source: veroniiiica.com Credit: Puzzle

Since I had ditched bsky for a bit, I never posted about my fic update so here it is. Enjoy lol. Mind the tags / rating!

forms of worship
Caldarus / Farmer
rating: E

archiveofourown.org/works/72029061

fic title: forms of worship
author: quinnntessentially
summary: The barest brushing of fingers. The tickle of someone's hair against his skin. The shivers induced by the lightest graze of his claws along the farmer's neck.

It all feels like some sort of worship and after years of being revered...

Perhaps it is time he learns to pray to a deity himself.

I'm coming back to this (shouting to the void) that this fic idea is haunting me so bad that I keep imagining what I could do if I was comfortable with art and the amv thing I'd make for it to the song Zenzenzense from Your Name hahahahaha

I'm fine. Super fine.
