Here is my crash guide to surviving--nay, thriving--in the Solavellan hellspiral:
1) Find an island in the hellspiral. It can be smut, fluff, filthy filthy sex, or something else altogether. Mine is the Island of Dorian, Best Mage. Go to your island whenever the feels are too much.
2) Proper equipment is the key! You need a very robust pool floatie. Mine looks like a giant rubber duck covered in kitten gifs, but there's also the inflatable d*ldo of Falon's Din. Your personal hellspiral flotation device can be anything you like.
3) Flippers help you explore other hellspirals and become a true master of the environment. The red lyrium flippers take you to the Samson hellspiral, the golden ones to Abelas. The glittery ones to the glitterotica hellspiral, but putting those flippers on costs 1d4 max sanity each time.
4) Learn the signs that herald the appearance of the Greater Feels Demon, also known as The Weekes. Just flee to your island whenever this creature turns up, and ride out the storm of tears in its wake.
...oh god I just typed that. Bedtime.
Can I just say how excited I am that we were both writing lists at the same time? Granted, yours is much more practical, and far less creepy. But impractical and progressively creepy are pretty good characterizations of me during what has become a pretty dysfunctional time, so. ^___^
At any rate, I am going to progress through your helpful walkthrough survival kit assembly now.
1) Okay, hmm. An island. Smut! Art. Smutty art!
2) Equipment. Uh. Falcor. The real Falcor, flying and being fluffy and majestic and ****.
3) I want none of these flippers. Out of the flippers available, I'd maybe rent the glitterotica hellspiral ones from time to time, but not often enough to make the down payment towards ownership. Are there any other flippers? Can I craft my own flippers?
4) Done.
Please don't go to bed. Stay up and be crazy with me.
