Just realised I haven't shown off Turmeric's new look yet!
When I was first playing with adding mods for some visual uniqueness for new characters, I found this 'winter plait' in "More Hair 2" (by eleanorroos) and immediately fell in love with it for her. I was already planning on changing her hair anyway and this is absolutely perfect in how it looks like a natural evolution from her previous hair - even using the same bit of ear-covering fringe at the front.
I also changed the colour - just by removing the highlights - because all the turmeric's been beaten out of her hair by now, there isn't a hint of yellow left in there. Her current name is now more a remnant of a bygone time as she grows more distant from the 'just a normal bard' phase of her life, and it shows.
In the story, I'm saying the reason for her rapid hair growth is the effect of a wild magic surge from Honeymeans. It was down to her ankles at first, which Bingemir laughed himself silly to see when the next delivery arrived (and Hush was thankfully willing to help in cutting it). Turmeric definitely gained a new respect for Orin's giant braid as she desperately tried to wrangle her own mass of Rapunzel hair before it could continue to trail in the snow and catch against the ridges of the tomb's walls any longer.
Going to be a slight delay on the next chapter, I'm afraid- I'd had something of a light headache the past few days that's made it difficult to focus on things, and I haven't been sleeping too well, so I'm aiming for the 30th of this month instead- hopefully, I should feel better by then.
And, hopefully, there shouldn't be egregious delays moving forward- after the next chapter we will be moving firmly out of the set-up period and into the proper meat, which should, fingers crossed, excite me enough to write to power through any body pain distractions.
tinnitus is so stupid. what u mean eeeEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEeeee!!!!!!!!! like girl shut up.
I'm sorry but I have one draft that I never finished but I laugh every time I see it
Things that work in fiction but not real life
torture getting reliable information out of people
knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour
jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact
calling the police to deescalate a situation
rafting your way off a desert island
correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes
effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else
ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences
heterosexual cowboy
Wyll, Scratch and the Owlbear cub taking a short rest~
Shadowheart canonically beating up transphobes is an easily-missed yet iconic piece of her characterisation
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
