(Yeah I'm... I think I'm just calling it a day. Depression wins this one. I can't be productive, I can't really talk to my friends (my phone's screen reader is... Pretty much garbage. It's fine for short periods but not extended usage). I can't game. Just gonna go to bed super early.)

Rest guilt is one of the most destructive things modern culture has created. The idea that you should feel bad for not being productive at every moment. You're a human being. Not a human doing. Sit down.

THE PARTS OF CHRONIC ILLNESS NO ONE PREPARES YOU FOR

It’s not just the symptoms.

— It’s the constant explaining.

— The second-guessing.

— The feeling of being “fine enough” for others... but not for life.

— It’s grieving the version of you that could do things without thinking.

— It’s learning to say no even when you want to say yes.

— It’s watching life move on while you’re focused on surviving the day.

— It’s being strong in ways no one can see.

(Sha'dow CURRENTLY has over two dozen spouses, partners, lovers, or situationships. I think the best way to describe their dating history is "tags on AO3.")

Sha'dow, Drow in Eorzea, Pls Use Alt Text! 7.5 Spoilers! @stormcaptweaver.bsky.social · 21h

(Sha'dow is a master Weaver (to the degree it's their Surname), but in addition, an omnicrafter. Their main focus is on bespoke, tailored clothing, but they also make arms and armor, and make routine medicine, clothing, food, and toy drops to the various orphanages around the City-States)

Sha'dow, Drow in Eorzea, Pls Use Alt Text! 7.5 Spoilers! @stormcaptweaver.bsky.social · 21h

(Every game Sha'dow has ever been in is canon to their story. That's why they're a Drow Planeswalker, the Vestige, the Boss of the Third Street Saints, and so much more. They're originally from Faerûn. Their SISTERS are co-Tav in BG3. So yeah, I've made them in other games!)

(FUCK DA TIME BUBBLE (lovingly, with aftercare)!!🥰 To me that's how old they are when you meet them. So the Twins start at 16, but are nearly 28 by the end of Dawntrail in my headcanon. I really do need to make some Grown Up Twins... One day maybe not today of course.)

(Well, consider my flabbers well and truly gasted. I needed a followup with my PCP. Normally, I can't get in to see HER for more than a month out (she's very popular). She actively rescheduled a physical so I could be seen sooner since mine's an ER followup. I... Don't feel great for the other ⤵️

(Sha'dow is technically immortal in the way the Doctor is Immortal. Regeneration cycles when they take too much damage. Depends on how much damage they take on how much rest they need. The regeneration is *INCREDIBLY* painful, and usually involves spellfire burning through their body. Injuries that⤵️

Summary:
They were all betrayed at the Bloody Banquet, and now the Sultana and Minfilia were dead. The other Scions were likely just as dead, what does it matter if Sha'dow breaks his promise? What does it matter if he takes the Black again? Why SHOULDN'T he take revenge on the Crystal Braves and Ilberd? He and Alphinaud were on the run...

This childish rebellion ends now.
