I love Pathfinder lmao
Raven Traders Given enough time to develop the relationship and establish what you want, it’s possible to engage a raven in a sort of trade. Placing a small, shiny object where the raven can take it might entice it to grab the prize and fly off, returning 3d6 minutes later with something from its own stash. Convincing a raven to trade requires a successful DC 20 Nature check to Command an Animal and, of course, a raven who has the inclination to trade with you in the first place.

got Alien Core! deeply intrigued by this theological debate
Philosophical Necromancy: The animation process for a void zombie doesn’t harm the soul or prevent it from receiving Pharasma’s judgment. Since the creation of a void zombie host is part of an akata’s natural life cycle, it’s a frequent topic for practicing philosophical debate within her faith. Officially, void zombies and akatas must be destroyed, which is a rare point of agreement between some Eoxians and the church of Pharasma.

Billy threw his head back and laughed. “Oh, it’s Johann now? You’re on a first name basis with him? You really plannin’ on marryin’ that doctor asshole?” “What? I only just met him,” she said. “So? I know guys who got married after a month. It’s not like he’d be loyal to you. He’s probably already in bed with Big Pharma—”

doing my daily routine of reading other people's work before I write (I feel like it kinda refreshes me a bit) and picking out a book to read without checking if it's a horror or dystopia has been really funny bc I'm just on edge
“When we had finished the tour, we all sat in the grass. It wasn’t uncomfortable anymore: I was already getting used to it. Candice sat beside Marcus, and Susie sat beside Sam. I sat next to Jacintha. Everyone was relaxed, except for Tom, who was looking around restlessly. “The fence around the perimeter,” he said. “That’s new, right?”We couldn’t say that it was likely put up in the last couple of weeks by the previous residents, so Candice only said, “Brand-new.”“That’s good,” he said, his eyes following the boundary line. “And there’s the barbed wire, too. It’s safe, then? I mean, you’ve felt safe here, the last few days?”“It’s safe,” Candice said. Tom nodded. I thought then that there was something off about him. While the other boys were staring openly at the girls, Tom was staring out into the desert.”

he has many problems
He nodded. “I suppose you did. But no lasting harm was done. It’s water under the bridge now.” “Water under the—” She jerked her head up to look him in the eye. “We’re talking about murder here!” “I think I am allowed to choose what I feel about my own murder, thank you,” he said.

girl comparing a dude's flesh suit to an animal that bites faces off: he's kinda handsome though
The person responsible smiled. None of his teeth were on display, but it was still unnerving. It wasn’t a human smile. No, she had decided ages ago that it was a chimp smile, a fact that was clear to anyone who dared to meet those electric blue orbs head on in a staring contest. “You look fantastic this evening,” said the man in a bellhop uniform. He took her hand in his iron grasp, lifted it to his lips, and deposited a kiss. “Might I ask who you are wearing?” She flushed. The man holding on to her was scary, and she’d never forget him almost running her over with that very same smile on his face, but he was also very handsome up close. There was something dashing about his intense focus that she couldn’t quite put into words, except to say that it reminded her of some of her less beloved romance novels. “It’s um… an exclusive item from Mina Ha,” she recited faithfully, despite her nerves.

second to last (I have no self-control) update on this thing.

read it here!
“That… sounds like it, yes,” Paige began hesitantly, “and thank you for your hard work, but I’m, um, not sure if it will fit? I should try it on right now. Do you want to come in? Actually, no, you can come in. That’s fine. If you want to!” “You’re inviting me into your house? Into your precious family home?” Mina’s eyes tracked her as she walked past to unlock the door. “Are you stupid? Hey, what if I decide to drain everyone?” She nearly dropped the key, but not because of the hypothetical threat. She was being confronted firsthand with her issues with multitasking. This is embarrassing… “You’re not the first vampire to be in my house,” she said out loud, fumbling the offending item into the lock. “And besides, I have a stake! I’ll take my chances.”

rip paige
A week flew by before she knew it. She wished she could say that she spent those seven days unbothered, her mind focused solely on the joys of reading and storytelling, but that would make for a colossally unbelievable lie. Several times, while she was in the midst of weaving a tale for children, her mind would drift to the subject of ballrooms or rituals, and she’d falter. On Friday, a parent pulled her aside and asked if she was possessed or otherwise under the weather. The encounter made her want to disappear. The rest of the day, she kept replaying her hurried mumbled reply. It sounded like frail excuses even to her. But what else could she say? Sorry, ma’am. It’s not that a ghost is trying to hijack my body and lead me into a life of necromancy. I just got invited to a high-class function, and I’m losing my mind waiting for my dress! Honesty, for once, did not feel like the best policy.

I can't seem to stop writing, so more Deadlock fic for you, ft. Paige who is utterly oblivious of the matchmaking threat looming in the background... I've said too much.

Read it here though!
The Belle of the Ball by Ethereal Nyx Summary: After the conclusion of the ritual, Paige expects to return to her normal life. She's gotten her wish, her family is whole again, and everyone has gone their separate ways. What else is there to do but go back to embracing her work and the written word? That's what she wants at least. But Lady Geist has different thoughts on what she should be doing with her life, and there's nothing more capable of changing the course of destiny than the machinations of the ultrawealthy and powerful. Especially when you bring the occult into the matter.

Hades 2 spoilers but teehee...
Screenshot of Icarus from Hades 2. It says "You and Icarus share a soaring bond" below 14 hearts. The rest of the screenshot says: 'Flight is somehow symbolic of freedom; the ability to go where one pleases, without constraint! Nonsense, of course. Flight can be very taxing. Or in some cases, worse. This one is not alone in living, or rather existing, in his father's shadow. Not even he can fly away from that.'
