Katrijn

@prikkelperron.bsky.social

Eigenlijk moet hier eens een disclaimer komen. Wat je hier leest is wat je zelden hoort. Mij leren kennen alleen op basis van schrijfsels, dat kan je niet. Ik lach ook vaker dan je misschien zou denken, ook als ik huil. Ik ben kritisch, maar latent optimistisch. Ik zit zelden stil als ik niet slaap.

God, the parley with Varis in 4.5 continues to be one of the best scenes in the entire game

Just a week written and acted cutscene overall
