"The tongue that has no bones can cause one great sorrow, yet also bring about gladness"
tasha~'s manic ramblings
Hi, hello, if you're reading this, welcome! You've found my little library, a place where I post very, very rarely. And if you plan on staying, shall I rephrase myself? These are the illiterate ramblings of a faceless fool. I'd hope you enjoy yourself here. If not, well, I'm not sure there's much I can do for you.

This house has everything we need
It's always been how it should be
And my favorite game's make-believe
In the land of Scadrial, a little ways past the village where everyone lives, there is a forest. And in the forest, there’s a little cottage. Nestled in a mirth of grass as if it were the conjuring of some happy dream. Surrounded by towering trees adorned with a tapestry of vibrant foliage, the cottage exudes a timeless charm. Its rustic facade, adorned with climbing ivy and a welcoming wooden door, blends seamlessly with the natural landscape. Soft rays of sunlight filter through the canopy above, casting dappled patterns on the moss-covered roof and the cobblestone path that winds its way to the entrance. The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of wildflowers and earth, while the gentle melody of birdsong creates a soothing symphony. Inside, the cottage exudes a cozy warmth, with wooden beams overhead, a crackling fireplace, and snug furnishings that invite relaxation and contemplation. And in the cottage is a girl, called Zanyar. She’s never mingled with anyone in her entire life. She’s always remembered living in the little cottage, far from the rest of the work. Zanyar lived in her own little bubble, spending her day scavenging for food, staring into nothingness and making the most of whatever the forest has to offer.
Among the cast of characters in her imaginary world was Apate—a subtle presence that began as a gentle companion, whispering secrets of hidden places and magical realms.
Don't look past your friend
'Cause the room, it never ends
Stay ready to learn
For a twist there's a turn
You'll be safely reliving
That cold unforgiving hell
At first, Apate’s influence was like a soft breeze stirring the leaves. It nudged Zanyar to explore the edges of her comfort zone, encouraging innocent escapades under the guise of playful fun. Zanyar’s heart danced with excitement as she followed Apate’s lead, an innocent blossom dancing with the wind.
As time went by, Apate’s whispers took on a more persuasive tone. It planted seeds of curiosity in the young Zanyar’s mind, tempting her with the allure of forbidden places and daring exploits. Zanyar, once cautious, gave way to a sense of exhilaration, fueled by Apate’s enticing suggestions, honeyed words woven into a web of mystery and fantastical tales.
Hush little things
Now you don’t say a word
Just know at day’s end you will always return
You’ll be back to the spot wherе it hurts when you think
Under Apate’s guidance, Zanyar’s adventures took on a new edge. She would sneak out after dark, her pulse racing with anticipation as she followed Apate’s instructions to explore abandoned buildings and secluded woods. With a beautiful paintbrush, she decorated the land with splashes of red. Each escapade fed Zanyar’s growing hunger for excitement, blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
But beneath the surface of exhilaration lurked a sense of unease. Zanyar couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss, that Apate’s cheerfully spoken ideas were not as innocent as they seemed. Yet, whenever doubt crept in, Apate’s soothing whispers calmed her fears, reassuring her that they were just playing a game. Just like that, and Zanyar’s worries faded into nothingness.
As days turned into weeks, Zanyar’s world became a labyrinth of conflicting emotions. She reveled in the thrill of adventure yet felt a pinprick of guilt gnawing at her conscience. Apate’s whispers grew bolder, coaxing her to take risks that pushed the boundaries of safety and sanity.
Something’s off, it’s gone wrong
A prison’s not always a dark place
With gray closed-in walls and big, loud chains
They can hide in the skin of a friend
It was during one of their late-night escapades, deep in the heart of an abandoned mansion, that Zanyar’s perception shattered like fragile glass. In the dim light of her flashlight, she caught a glimpse of her art. A body lay in its pool of blood, screams echoing through the village at the sight of the mangled dog on the door. Muscle, tendon, bone and heart, organs scattered about the floor, red streaking the walls, where desperate hands clawed for escape. Apate’s true nature revealed itself, a manipulative entity cloaked in the guise of friendship. The realization hit her like a physical blow, sending shockwaves of betrayal through her soul.
From that moment on, Apate’s manipulation became glaringly obvious. It no longer whispered but demanded, pushing Zanyar into increasingly reckless acts that left her feeling trapped and vulnerable. The once subtle hints turned into direct commands, each one designed to feed an insatiable appetite for chaos.
She struggled to break free from Apate’s grip, but it was like trying to untangle herself from a web of deceit. The more she resisted, the tighter the ‘strings’ around her limbs became, suffocating her with its toxic influence.
Zanyar found herself trapped in a nightmarish cycle of manipulation and self-doubt. Apate’s once soothing presence had transformed into a relentless tormentor, a reflection of Zanyar’s own inner turmoil and suppressed desires. Escape was futile, and every time she reached the glowing door of hope, it slammed her back to reality, an endless cycle of lies, an abyss of misery.
