Here's a throw back shot of Amethyst and Thread for your woes

In an attempt to do something vaguely productive and not just doom scroll.

Give me a few lines from your most recent WIP. I'll go first.

Suggestive content and religious imagery.
The last dregs of sunlight came through the kitchen window, sweet and lingering as the end of a bottle of wine, casting warm highlights and deep shadows across the features of the two that had preceded him, as fine as any artwork; Venti was was leaned into Dahlia whispering in his ear conspiratorially, the teal braids that framed his face partly unwound. The Deacon's shirt already half undone, one of Venti’s hands hidden by the fine cotton fabric. “Grandmaster, since you missed Vespers, perhaps you would like participate in a little private communion? Just us and the wind” Dhalia’s eyes sparkled with mischief, his hand sliding up Venti’s waist when he mentioned the wind, the bards caplet hiding what ever wickedness his hand was doing. Clearly Venti enjoyed it, the warm high sound that whispered past his lips was music to both of Barbatos’s devotees. Dahlia managed to keep his gaze fixed on Varka. “The wind tells me you cut a fine figure when on your knees.”

The scent of pine chased the memory of rain while the two brother stood opposite one another, just on opposite sides of the low larch fence. The younger, on the side of the fence with the long road ahead, smiled brightly. “Don’t worry for me Ruhb’a, maybe some day I will be called back. Until then I know you will keep every one safe.” The older wordlessly reaches up and smears oil across his forehead, the prayer he spoke lost as Thread Spool jolted awake, the memory turned dream fading faster than the tingling of an anointing long washed away.

"The world is but a stage" Guydelot had said, in the face of the voidsent and the biting cold gales of the Sea of Clouds "You are a Bard, it is yours to command!" Now here at the edge of the universe shrieks from Despair its self wrung her ears, the bitter cutting of winds at universes end whipped over her and the rumble of a terce truce beneath her feet; Amethyst plunged her sword into the shining disk of light beneath her. She filled her lungs and sang back all of the love, hope, and strength she had been gifted, it would be enough- it had to be.

I'm handing you her, you are responsible for what she does.
A viera with dark indigo hair with lighter purple bangs, and yellow facial markings looks at the camera, her left hand held aloft, her expression soft but concerned as she explains recent happenings. A viera with dark indigo hair with lighter purple bangs looks on fondly, the sun is setting casting warm glow on her though it also casts a shadow on her face

Thank you @ambromancy.bsky.social for the meme of the girl. One day she will collect all the forbidden arts.
A Viera, a woman with rabbit ears, who has purple hair and medium brown skin holds a spiked staff behind her at an angle. She covers a chuckle with her other hand. To the right form the viewers PIV there is a text box that say "I am the Black Mage! I casts the spells that makes the people fall down!" with a head portrait of the Black Mage from the Early Final Fantasy Games.

Did any one think it would be any one but Sid?
Dialog from the quest: The Orphans and the Broken Blade

My writing from this Fic
archiveofourown.org/works/48338611
Myste Is Sid upset? I'm not sure, but I think I heard him grinding his teeth... Sidurgu There you are. I trust Myste has had ample time to reflect upon his mistake? Myste I have. I am ready to resume my search for those I might help with my power. Difficult though it may be, I do not intend to give up. Sidurgu Glad to hear it. In that case, there's no need to remain here any longer. I say we leave this accursed place and never return. Rielle Don't be silly, Sid. I say we show Myste more of the Churning Mists. We did come all this way, you know. Come on─there's a place I'd like to show you... (- Sidurgu -) Now wait just a godsdamned moment! You can't go running off on your own like that! You'll get eaten by a three-headed goobbue! Rielle!? Rielle! Sidurgu Bugger me with a bleeding... <sigh> Come on, they cannot have gone far. Watch out for belligerent Dravanians and mischievous moogles... Aymeric smiled weakly. "Of course - please forgive me, I mean no offense." He settled down on one of the pews, its wood worn smooth ages ago by the passage of Ishgard’s faithful, sitting and standing for prayer and hymns. . "At The Ghimlyt Dark, when The Empire was attempting to push their frontline forward, Amethyst was there- as were many others, including myself and a not insubstantial number of knights." He closed his eyes. "We were between a wall and a column of Garlean soldiers; I was with Commander Hext. We were certain we were facing our last stand when Amethyst charged into the soldiers and their line of Magitek warmachines. One of the machines struck her, and the wound should have been a fatal blow." The dark knight made a sympathetic sound, looking bemused. "I can't help but notice that Amethyst is still with us." Aymeric smiled, though it didn't quite reach his tired eyes. "It’s just... I'll never forget watching her body go limp, for just a moment, and then that dark fire that overwhelmed her body-" he paused to collect his thoughts as recognition danced across Sidurgu's face. "Living dead," Sidurgu said, the words matter of fact. His tone was casual, as if commenting on a bit of unseasonable weather rather than a death defying stunt of a dear friend. “She must have had a hell of a healer at her back for that.” Silence hung in the air. As it stretched, Aymeric felt his brows furrow as he tried to understand. He had heard the term before… “...She’s left me to explain it then?” Sidurgu huffed. “I won’t burden you with the details of how it works. What you should know is that if a Dark Knight draws on the Abyss for it, they have accepted their death. That they know they’re going to die, and just need a few extra seconds to do what they set out to do.” Another brief pause. “It's a pleasant surprise to stay among the living." Aymeric couldn’t smother his expression, even with all his practice, eyes widening as in a short few seconds he rejected, then had to accept, the implication of the other man's words. “...I see. No, she had never quite explained it. Too much happening all at once in a war zone,” he said, closing his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Would that I could get her to think more of her own well being…” “So say we all, Lord Speaker,” Sidurgu agreed, a warm, pleasantly gruff laugh following his words, though it was short lived.

I will never get tired of this one, Thread and two of his siblings, Vili and Rue. Free enough to start bonding again. (and bonding time is picking on Thread)

Unable to speak, ignoring the tears that ran down his own face, ones Sidurgu didn't know he had left, he swore silently to himself. He could keep her safe. He would keep her safe. He was pulled from the spiral of his mind when he realized Rielle was speaking. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she repeated the phrase over and over choked out between sobs. It was like looking in a mirror, a small boy bent over the bodies of his family. "I'm sorry!" the boy sobbed.

I feel like Aymeric is reinforcing bad habits for Amethyst with out knowing it.

Amethyst: I joke that it's "local viera too stubborn to die" but her tenacity and deep faith in the goodness of people in the end

Thread: That he is choosing every day to keep going, it's not always been easy and he doesn't have Amethyst's sheer force of will.

For both of them, the eyes

Mine is ,when I can, sitting down to work on A "Case of Counterfits" that features some of @cakerollk.bsky.social OC's ,so please give them a follow as well!
#wipweekend #genshin #Charlotte #Albedo
“What do you fear the most, Miss Charlotte?” Albedo asked her , though it did not allow is work, drawing some kind of grand design on the floor in chalk. “What an ominous question…” she said softly , drumming her fingers along the back of her notebook “Do you mean, right in this moment or overall?” “It was open ended intentionally, answer as you see fit.” He said standing, dusting his hands. “Then,” she hesitated. “I suppose I would say I fear that the truth will not prevail, that one day even when the truth is in front of people's faces they will close their eyes to it.” “A reasonable fear,” he said, turning to her. “My fear is to not be able to find the Truth of this world. So in this respect we are very alike. People may sometimes conceal the truth without knowing it.”
