I’ve never played the game but my girlfriend is apparently willing to commit atrocities on his behalf, so I made her this as a Christmas gift

[Image ID: A crocheted doll meant to look like Astarion. It has pale skin, two black safety eyes as a face, and curly white hair. There are two pale triangles sewn on either side of its head. It’s wearing dark brown pants and a v-neck black shirt with puffy brown sleeves with white accents. /end]

so Halt dropped Will off at the Redmont ward with a handwritten note. most likely, when Will was found, they showed Arald the note.

now my question is: did Halt purposely butcher his handwriting or not? if so, did Arald recognise the handwriting and confronted Halt? did he wait for him? was Pauline involved???

He is good at forging documents 👀 But now I'm picturing him doing the most uncharacteristic, twirly handwriting in order to avoid anyone recognizing his writing 💀

His name is Will...

Plot twist: he mimicked Arald's handwriting

Guys I found a solution to unfucking the Tumblr dashboard

The previous, and widely popular Dashboard Unfucker script that uses Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey doesn't work anymore. It's probably because the script was for Tumblr users getting the godawful Twitter dashboard as a beta experiment, and relied on disabling the flag signaling you were part of the beta, or shuffling features around. That solution doesn't work anymore. I tried every version, uninstalled XKit, etcetera. Since Tumblr rolled out the awful Twitter dashboard as a site-wide change, the previous infrastructure the extension relied upon has collapsed. But fear not! Here's a new solution:

  1. Install Stylus on Mozilla Firefox. I love Firefox, so I'll always promote it whenever I can, but there's also a Chrome extension which I will grudgingly link to. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/styl-us/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne

2. Install the userscript for Old Tumblr Dashboard, linked below. https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023

3. Collapse in a pile of tears because this worked, and you don't feel like jumping off a cliff looking at the crowded, shitty, Twitter dashboard, I hate you fucking @/staff.

Imagine Halt getting fed up with Horace's moral quandaries about pretending to be a knight in Galica and just knighting him on the spot himself.

Of course, Horace would think it was illegitimate until years later when Halt reveals his royal status to give Horace an existential crisis.

A list of prompts for the Autistic!Halt fic fest!

Feel free to use as many as you like! These prompts are NOT exclusive, so don't worry about any prompts being "taken" <3

  • Halt shutdown/meltdown, Will's reaction
  • Halt's interest is mythology and folklore.
  • He is good in languages and likes to learn them. But since he struggles with social skills, he doesn't speak as much as he would like to.
  • He loves animals.
  • He never worried about his behaviour until he hears castle staff whispering he's fae-kissed. He's read enough to know what they mean and he starts to mask.
  • He has sensory issues with clothes, food and weather (warm/cold). He also doesn't like it to be touched, though from some persons he allows it (e.g. Caitlyn can hug him).
  • He stims only around Caitlyn. With everyone else he masks
  • He loves to read and can get lost into it if not told to stop.
  • Aside from Caitlyn, Pritchard is the only one who knows about Halt's autism. He figured it out when Halt had a meltdown.
  • When he got apprentices, Halt spent lots of time in his room to prevent getting overwhelmed. Gilan and Will rather thought he was mad at them. Halt never told them, until they asked about it. Gilan learned about his autism when he was in his second year, Will only learned about it when he was about to finish his apprenticeship.
  • Halt has a special interest in flowers in his early years. In his older years, they’re not a special interest anymore but he holds a certain fondness for them. What’s his favorite type of flower? How does his bio family react vs. how his found family reacts? (I was going to put examples but the ideas were from other posts. Like how Caitlyn made a book of flowers for him, flower crowns, the possibility that he picks out flowers based on their meaning for certain situations…)
  • I can see Halt having alexithymia. So, how would that impact himself and his relationships? (Example from an article by Jessica Penot, who is autistic/has alexithymia, “I overcompensate by being a compulsive caretaker in relationships but have no idea how to let people into my inner world or explain it.” Also he might have trouble with telling how serious an injury on his person is until someone else notices).
  • Masking (well, attempting to mask) by copying his brother—
  • (Kind of related) practicing different expressions in the mirror with his brother’s/mother’s/father’s urging
  • Learning to unmask :’)
  • Abelard helping Halt with sensory issues/calming down.
  • A category 5 autism event happens and Halt ends up infodumping about his special interest to someone he feels safe with
  • An abrupt change of plans. No time to transition. Halt somehow has to hold it together for the next several hours

Okay final update on the Autistic!Halt fic fest

So the poll is over and the majority of people don't want a fic exchange, so a straight collection it'll be! Here's how it'll work:

  • I'll create a collection on AO3 and people will submit their fics there. Obviously feel free to gift them to people if you so choose :3
  • I'll be accepting suggestions for prompts for the next week! Send asks or DMs here or on Discord and I'll post them next Tuesday, August 21st. These prompts are not exclusive, so as many people can use any prompt or any combination of prompts as they like!
  • To give a fair amount of time to get something written after that, the collection will be revealed one month after the prompts go live, which will be Thursday, September 21st. This is a busy time of year for a lot of people, with many people returning to school, so this should give everyone a good amount of time to turn something in
  • There is no limit on how long or short your fic is
  • Stories can be about anything, but Halt's autism must be a factor in the stories or be noticeable in some way. Feel free to have fun with it, give him whatever stims or boundaries you like <3

I can't wait to see what everyone writes <33

I was going to do Crowley next, but I finished the body earlier than expected and the yarn for his hair won't be delivered for a while. I won't make a doll of literally everyone but I want to make a few

Please tell me you’re open to commissioning RA plushies bc I would not shy away from paying you absurd amounts of money for one of those lil guys

Sorry, I'm not really looking into commissions. I'm open to the idea, but have no idea about how they actually work or the legality. Also I wouldn't want to sell stuff made with other people's patterns, and it might be a while till I can develop my own
