this is just me trying to step into my serious stuff but Vael's dumb energy is manifesting hard

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 2d

I keep trying to get in the right mood to write some fanfic stuff but my playlist keep blasting me with dumb music
Why is my immaculate taste for stupid parody music turning against me???

wtf I just realized since patch 8 and photo mode came out I never ONCE took a pic of Órlaith??? guess I have to do that this weekend (watch me start ANOTHER run with her)

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

Ahhh thankiesss! I've been quite absent lately (work suuuucks I hate adult lifeee)
I must say it was very challenging but also quite fun! I usually play using 1% of my brain so it was a nice change to actually have to plan out things properly...and remember elixirs do exist lol. I NEVER use them.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

I SWEAR!!! I was so FURIOUS at myselffff why did I forget to farm inspo pointssssss it literally hurt my soul......

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

All this was just to say: I will most likely drop some fanfic about this AU because it's been living rent free in my brain for a whole year and it's time to unleash the "what if" scenario.

So uhm. Happy anniversary to this run that gave me angst brainrot for a YEAR.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

I thought: ok, this can be an interesting AU-ish scenario.
Where did he go? Did he survive the Netherbrain attack? Six months after the endgame, where did he end up to?

I have a whole AU in mind just for this little thing that happened in my Honour run. I wrote some stuff. But it's still a WIP.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

Anyways, Órlaith ended her adventure without her lover this time, but still managed to get mama her golden dice set (which is also the only one I am still using because I AM SO PROUD).

The fact that Astarion left the party made me think and fantasize about what ifs, AUs and all that stuff.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

I admit the endgame fight was a bit less overwhelming, calling for allies truly helps a lot. But once we got to the Netherbrain.........well it wasn't easy to keep everyone alive.
But let me just say it was EPIC to have the last blow be a Divine Smite. SO ON POINT I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

I'm the type of nerd to visualize everything in a cinematic mode in her own mind so you have NO IDEA how fucking epic this was playing in my head. It literally was the best achievement in the whole run to manage to beat Raphael with my girl at very low health. Hell yeah.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

Despite everything I said before, this is the BEST fight to experience in Honour Mode. Nothing like House of Hope in Honour makes you FEEL like a real hero fighting for her own life while a goddamn DEVIL is after your ass.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

Guess what happened!:)

This fight was EXHAUSTING. The moment I saw Raphael down I literally had to save and turn off the computer because damn girl, that was TOO MUCH. Withers really had fun in reviving everyone back at camp. My poor girl was drenched in blood.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

I specifically got the potions of Angelic Slumber to later use them for the endgame fight and I was not gonna compromise over that. I had Órlaith drink one useless potion just to get a bit more health and then said ok fuck it, either we die like a hero or we blast the Blood of Lathander up his ass.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

I made her drink the last Invisibility potion in the inventory and sneak out of the room cause I needed to THINK.
Raphael didn't have much hp left, but he was in his super devil archlord fit. It was either him dying, or Órlaith.

I admit it was quite epic to think of this fight on a Órlaith POV.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

Thankfully the party managed to stun Raphael enough to first take care of all the other nuisances, but Hope died and so did Gale and after some time everyone else died too, except for Raphael and Órlaith, who literally had like a single digit in hp left. I. PANICKED. So. HARD.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

House of Hope has to be the hardest Honour Mode fight. In my humble opinion, I'd rather fight two Myrkuls in Honour Mode than House of Hope. It was TERRIFYING. Raphael turned into mega demon pretty quickly, Yurgir yeeted everyone out of the Invulnerability Globe TWO times.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

During the whole run I bought all the arrows I could to blast Ansur in Act 3, but unfortunately Astarion left with the best bow in the game so :') I had Minsc be the archer instead. Anyways we survived and it ended rather quickly.
But then I realized. Oh shit. It's House of Hope time.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

The other quests went pretty smooth, Sarevok was annoying at first but once you get his ass he's dead. Orin is a joke to duel against if you play Durge - plus Órlaith is a paladin which is OP enough to end the fight rather quickly.
Ansur was my biggest issue cause I was terrified of him.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

This left me two options: do I stay true to Órlaith's personality and refuse to help him, or do I help him?
It hurt, but I had to let him go.
It was SO SAD to see that scene and have him leave the party permanently! Poor Órlaith.

And he also fled with Gontr Mael, which hurt even more........

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

To my utter surprise I obviously FORGOT to farm inspiration points, which meant I had NO WAY to persuade that bitch to be a good person. And it was Honour Mode so I couldn't even save scum.
You have no idea how UPSET I was with myself, I was so confident I forgot I could actually fail.

YONON .ᐟ @yonon.bsky.social · 4d

So after spending time trying to not have Shadowheart die like an idiot under a ghoul's smelly ass, the fight was over. Cutscene plays, I sigh in relief.
Astarion implores Órlaith to help him continue the ritual.
And I overconfidently go to persuade him to not be a bad boy...

and the roll fails.
