“I love them both but do I ship them,” “I don’t NOT ship them,” and other thoughts I’ve had about Adder and Janosh that I also had about Rolan and Dammon prior to writing 21 fics with them across two years

It’s been a long time since I connected with a game/story on this level. The amount it made me laugh, or cry, or be so immersed I could forget my life for a couple of hours has been so valuable and so meaningful.

The Devil’s pack ended up being my favorite part of the game, I love these guys 😭

I finished kcd2 on Thursday but it only truly hit me when I replayed the end last night 😔 I hate finishing things and I felt this goodbye hard, this game has really been something to lean on for me and it hurts to finish. 170 hours!!

Of course Zizka did already predict this so…

Okay, Janosh didn’t get his 10 minutes alone with Brabant like I wanted but this was still very satisfying and Henry’s line is stone cold

(Although I do think it’s kind of funny to be like “my friend, who went STRAIGHT to hell,” 💀)

Ugh I feel so tired and sad today, general state of my affairs + death of one of my favorite characters in my stupid comfort game is hitting hard

Still, this scene felt so respectful, it’s really stuck with me. Adder may be a scoundrel but you still feel the weight of his death :(

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness 💚

The theme is blue-eyed blacksmiths 🥰 Something about men who have been forged (ha…ha) by circumstances and trauma outside of their control but remain gentle and good is so comforting

Found out on Friday I’ll be losing the majority of my income, gave myself the weekend to freak out about it, and today it’s down to business in problem solving mode 😤

(I keep thinking how Henry would 100% rather be dealing with my problems than his, and it does help put things in perspective)

The dread I felt getting this achievement last night 😭 this game is the only thing keeping me going right now

I think I have a fair amount of story left though, haven’t kissed Hans yet and it feels like things are still gearing up (to get much, much worse)

I can’t stop thinking about this scene, I’m so Kubyenka brained now, my god 😩 I love it when the kinda comedic relief character gets real serious in a bad situation, he was so cool and I have a whole new respect for him

Stop giving Henry moral dilemmas he just wants to save his boyfriend 🙏

Okay my friend left and I am physical pain amounts of sad, so it’s time for kcd2 as a coping mechanism 😌 sidequests around Kuttenberg or perhaps I’ll fuck around and finally rescue Hans

Finally got around to posting my fic for @bg3hallozine.bsky.social!

Monsters (M)

“There’s no denying how much the Elturian tieflings’ time in Avernus changed and shaped them. But not all of them came away from the experience with nothing…”

Aah my first KCD fic!

Initiation Rites
archiveofourown.org/works/74400726

“Henry has never been with a man before, but his growing fondness for Lord Capon has him curious to explore. Fortunately, Bartosch is a capable teacher—in swordcraft as well as the bedroom.”

He was just mean in general to poor Henry 😭 I forgot to wash him off after killing an entire pack of wolves the day before

(It’s so funny to me when someone says some variation of “Jesus christ take a bath” and then it cuts to Henry standing there like 🧍😐)

This guy in Sigismund’s camp delivered such a savage and totally unexpected burn that I had to reload a save from the beginning of the day to capture it

Pleeaaase you have to 😩 look at him doing his little lean and telling a stupid rhyme (I love him)
November 15, 2025 at 4:54 AM
Bartosch propositioned Henry at the feast and then immediately took over my brain, and I’ve learned when an idea grabs me like this it’s best to just write it. My apologies to Hans 😔

Got my first hansry romance dialogue option 😭

I loved their dynamic by the end of the first game and to get to see it develop into romance is very rewarding!
November 10, 2025 at 6:27 PM
I really think I chose the best possible time to get into these games, because god this is exactly the type of escapism I need right now

(Pebbles and I are on speaking terms again because she finally stopped dumping me at the mercy of bandits and getting me killed)

Continuing my fic posting catch up with my 50th bg3 fic ♥️

“Rolan rediscovers his agency and hope for the future in the days and months following Lorroakan’s defeat.”

Stunning Rolan VP by @synnevp.bsky.social 🥰 thank you Synne!

Here’s a little snippet from my piece “Deciding to Decide” for @lovemarriagebg3.bsky.social! In which Cal’s new baby has both Dammon and Rolan thinking about what life would be like with kids 🥰 loved writing this!!

Happy Halloween from my third breynolds fic! They are so fun to write 🎃

Finished KCD and I’m sad 😔 100 hours over a month plus in this gorgeous game, during one of the most complicated and difficult times of my life. Henry and his story have been such a huge comfort to me, makes me emotional thinking of how much he grew up 😭♥️
October 31, 2025 at 3:10 PM
Dammon taking care of his boyfriend 🥰 they look SO perfect, thank you @kendypun.bsky.social! Dammon’s expression especially is killing me 🤭
