Status check of Tuxborn playthrough
A quick status check on where I am with Tuxborn, since I'm behind on Nona's posts. Also a status check on Tuxborn in general, since the version I was using to run Nona is now deprecated. Last but not least, Tuxborn's devs offered to promote me to Community Helper on the Aetherius Modding Discord, and I accepted!

Fic: Courtship Doesn’t Work Like That
Interrupting my playthrough posts for Nona's Tuxborn run with a surprise outburst of fic--because I have some issues with how a conversation with one of the custom followers went. And this is my pulling a better narrative out of the entire encounter. Have a read to see how Nona really doesn't take well to Aviendha trying very hard to matchmake on behalf of Ysolda!

A review about followers available in Tuxborn
While I work on getting caught up on my main playthrough posts, here's a roundup so far of my thoughts on followers available in the Tuxborn modpack for Skyrim. LOTS of interesting followers, but I can't run them all, so I've had to cut down on the number of active followers I have! This post is a roundup of what followers I've tried so far, who's made the cut to remain an active follower, and who hasn't.

Mod review: Carved Brink (with spoilers)
Since I have concluded playing the mod Carved Brink in my ongoing Tuxborn playthrough, here's a review post about that. Picoreview: very mixed bag. Gorgeous visuals and a fun travel mechanic, but a plot I found ultimately weak and unsatisfying. Post contains spoilers for the mod, so read with caution if you haven't played it yet.
