first time I ever went to the animal shelter and picked out my own animal was surreal. we had so many animals growing up but we never picked out any of them. and sure that’s normal for cats. they just showed up and we adopted them. but it didn’t end there.

we had a ball python because my mom was on a walk with her friends, saw it on the ground (this was Ohio) said “woah! that’s not native!” and put it in her purse. we advertised but never found the owner so we kept the purse python.

we ended up with a corn snake during a hurricane because my mom went out to get one of the cats and the corn snake was so little it came blowing through the air like a branch and my mom reached out and grabbed it out of the air to save it.

actually the point of this post is lost because I typed this far and realized the universe was maybe just sending my mom snakes specifically.

Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.

There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.

One of the things in Karlach's storyline in this fanfic that I'm kinda using the prologue to explain is that her dream visitor is the form her mechanic uses when he's working on her. It's not what he actually looks like, but Karlach didn't flinch when he spoke in it, so he kept wearing it.

And I won't pretend this small kindness was a sign Bel is secretly good. There was absolutely a selfish motive behind ensuring Karlach was relaxed when he ripped her heart out and put an infernal engine in its place, but the choice stuck with Karlach, and that's the important part.

Karlach knows it's stupid to trust an archdevil, but she also knows Bel has literally held her heart in his hands–both the engine in her chest and the flesh one it replaced. He doesn't have her under contract, he won't hurt her, he specifically chose a form that made her comfortable. He does not care, but he has taken care of her.

That's why his mechanic form is her dream visitor.

For three of the Do'Urdens, getting the looters to leave was an easy persuasion check of "Listen, I just got done fighting brains with legs and a mind flayer in that ship you want to loot, please don't." and that works and they go about their own looting spree of the crypt.

Except Drizzt, who does not successfully impart the danger and they start a fight, and the remaining three (Briza, Dinin, and Zaknafein).

No the remaining three fucking threaten them, and it works.
