#Vierapril 26: Myth
Forgive me, Oschon. Though Althyk has presided over my soul for millennia, I had hoped to return to you, to find the Wanderer within me once more. Instead, fearing the unknown, I have dug my heels in to familiarity.
O Wanderer, I am weary.

we cleared another merchant's tale yesterday! we got pretty lucky with the last pull, still some learning to do to get reclears done smoothly.

Each time their body plays host, they feel the sisters’ manic yearning to tear through their prey with a violence that can in no way be called mindless: after all, the Keres keep an awareness that borders on enlightenment when they fight.

finally settled on an UWU weapon and a glam to match. i don't normally play dragoon but i've always loved the aesthetic, and i'm going into TEA as drg, so why not, right?

~2 hours in and we're gaming
no standard step memes bc no dancer, but i'm sure we'll find another silly job problem to slot in there instead. i've already wiped us to a badly timed stardiver. i have now rearranged my ogcds
I'm manifesting an uwu clear today 🙏
i didn't get #vierapril 29 done beforehand and i can't make it without crimes, so instead have a thing i made early on in the month, but ended up setting aside because i wanted to pursue a different prompt for that day. this happened three times.

#Vierapril 23: (Favourite) Weapon
Each lunge is calculated, each swing perfectly expended. As the night wears on, the rhythm becomes a part of their body and mind, the scythe an extension of their physical form.

can i just say, hitting april 1st and seeing my fellow viera besties coming out of the woodwork with new gposes is magical :tealheart:
i've been a bit anxious about keeping up or doing as many as i'd like, especially since i'm going to be forcibly removed from my computer for a few days this month, but the bug caught pretty hard yesterday and i'm hoping to keep the momentum going.
it's #vierapril! i'm choosing from four, count 'em, FOUR different prompt lists this month! (credit in alt text, source links in replies)
i usually do these yearly summaries for my illustrations, but this year has been a lot more productive on the gpose front. i cannot overstate how good this has been for my creative side. i've found it harder to do a lot of drawing in the past year or two, so i'm really glad to still have a creative outlet.
3 reclears of criterion tonight! teo of them in about 20 minutes each. definitely feeling better about the one mechanic I'm really bad at in the last fight, though I don't think it's fully "clicked" yet.
19 clears on 3 different EXs last night, with increased drop chances, and only 1 set of wings. which we only got because half the party intentionally sacrificed themselves in the last 5% of vali's health. this was definitely necessary. speen and her knight were not so kind.
*edit: it was actually 21 clears, and i forgot we did unreal too. i was like "theres no way that took four hours"
we finally beat the second boss of merchant's tale advanced last night. it was funny, we spent most of our first lockout trying to do that, then after a break we went in and one-shot both the first and second boss. hope we can keep up that pace!
we've heard the third is easier... that remains to be seen. blind prog absolutely changes that metric imo.

In later years, Cyfa liked to say he had been bathing, but the truth was nothing so exciting: he'd simply been sitting near the shore, shoes off, and Dolvar had looked across the lake and seen the first other wood-warder he’d laid eyes on in several summers.
