So now that ChatGPT is offering erotica, all the card processors should refuse to authorize subscription charges, right? 😒 Or was this only about the people using something to make money and not a corporation?

Also, your art of Halsin and Arabella is my laptop background. It would have been Halsin in Grymforge, but I figured I should keep things super SFW on the screen I take into public 😆

Your style is so cute! Also, the way you draw Halsin and Vander is divine. Strong but soft and padded. They look like they'd go feral protecting someone but also give the best hugs

This is why I went no-contact with my parents. It sucks feeling like they don't care about you. Sending hugs

Day six! Write a letter as your character. There aren't actually any people in Aranel's past she would want to write to, but I think after the events of BG3 Halsin would try to convince her that writing to her deceased parents would give her some closure

This feels stupid. It's been over a century since you died. Halsin keeps pestering me, though, saying writing will make me feel better. He's usually right, the ass. 

Reithwin is flourishing now that the shadow curse is broken. Halsin has been amazing. He claims he's not a leader, that he was terrible for the Emerald Grove, but he is. He just couldn't thrive while the curse remained. 

I managed to convince him to let me be his apprentice. He kept protesting that as my lover he shouldn't be my teacher but when I pointed out how useful it would be to have a second healer he finally relented. I managed to wildshape for the first time yesterday, into a wolf. I got good at combat in the monastery, but learning the druidic arts feels so…right. I still train, of course, and I'm training others, but I've turned away from Ilmater and back to Silvanus. I wasn't smited, so I think The Crying God understands.

Halsin thinks you would be proud of me. I hope he's right.

Miss you,

Aranel

Day five! Take a personality quiz as your OC. I took Buzzfeed's "Pick Some Colorful Fall Pictures And I'll Tell You Which Blend Of Tea You Are." I don't know how I feel about the bergamot with jasmine, but the description certainly suits Aranel

Day four! Make a social media account for your OC. This was hard -- Aranel is very private and would hate social media. I think she'd definitely post in a very terse way, and only when somebody prompted her to post. It would be super incongruous with how big or important of a thing happened

Going to go sleep for three days. Wake me up when we reach Reithwin." Attached is a picture of Halsin and Aranel at the final battle, Halsin holding her up from behind as she screams in pain

Day three! Four characters who share traits with Aranel:
Toph: fighting style, refusal to accept help
Chirrut: fighting style, protector of others
Belle: isolation, desire for belonging
Jane Eyre: orphaned, abusive childhood, strong-willed and courageous

Day two's prompt is to make a collage to represent a place. Aranel's whole deal with that she doesn't have a place she feels at home in anymore. She loved the grove, but it burned down when she was so young she can barely remember it. She wants to forget the cold stone of the monastery.

I'm following @ginnydi.com's 7-Day Character Challenge for Aranel! Today's prompt is to write a diary entry from the perspective of your character. I chose the day Aranel finally completed her Trial of Mastery and left the monastery as a full monk

7. Make a playlist It’s over. I’ve finally been named Master. I bribed the guards to seal the doors during my audience with the council, and told them their choices were to elevate me or to kill me. When none of them could touch me, they finally agreed I had passed my trial. I walked out and will never return. The monastery is in my past, now, and I am leaving my child name behind with it. I’ve named myself Aranel, after my mother. I don’t know where I’ll go now. Maybe to the Cloakwood, to see if I can find any remnants of my old Circle. And if not…I don’t know. I’ll decide once it has come to that.

Working on my longfic and needed to skip forward and write this scene. Previously, Aranel admitted revivification was common at her monastery and novice monks were expected to kill each other. She claimed she couldn't remember how many times she's died. That night, Halsin presses her

#BG3Fic
Halsin exhaled another stream of smoke and his smile faded into seriousness. His eyes met hers in an intense gaze.

“How many times have you died?”

“I told you I—”

“You lied.” Halsin’s voice was flat, more matter-of-fact than accusatory. She opened her mouth to protest and he waved a hand to stop her. “Karlach and Astarion may not be insightful enough to see when you are trying to deceive them, but I am.”

Aranel sighed softly.

“That’s truly what you want to know about me?” 

Halsin’s lips quirked up in a smile that held little humor.

“There are…a great deal of questions I have about you. This is one of the least intrusive. But if you wish, I could pick another…” 

Aranel leaned her head back against the tree to look at the stone above. They were both quiet for a long time. She found his presence comforting in a way she couldn’t quite put into words, and appreciated that he didn’t seem to feel the need to fill every silence the way their companions did. 

“Two thousand, four hundred, seventy three.”

It's that time of the year again. The days are shorter. There's a chill in the air as we stretch ever closer to Halloween. Or the Faerûn equivalent anyhow.

How is your Tav/Durge getting ready for this most wonderful occasion?

Aranel is The Hermit. She is wise and very independent, but a century of loneliness has left her feeling isolated and distant from others, and she struggles to let her guard down enough for others to get close. She's uncertain where she belongs and feels resigned to being alone
