Been inspired by bad writing in TV shows to develop my short story from high school

So there's three TV shows that I'm a fan of and had bad writing, specifically the endings: Peacemaker S2, Stranger Things and The Boys finale seasons.

I reread my old short story and I feel like it still holds up. It's a fantasy, medieval setting and the royal family paid mercenaries to dress up as a hostile country's knights and burn down villages so they can go to war without people second guessing.

One of these villages, is where the main character is, a young adult woman who survives the mercenaries by hiding under the floorboards, and eventually after escaping she discovers this tomb of some kind and gets necromancy powers and it's a whole thing with her being alone with only corpses of things for company and trying to get revenge and eventually realising it does and doesn't help her get better.

This short story is from the pov of the mercancy leader of the group that attacked her village. In this story, she does brutally kill him with the undead's help, but after rereading it all. I'd like to keep him alive as a half-hearted mentor against his will, but eventually, they get along and ultimately deal with the corrupt royalty.

Current inspiration is Skyrim, Berserk, Vinland Saga, Chainsaw Man (having a somewhat crazy mc, morally 'grey' mc) and Overlord.

Interested in getting a saxophone as a complete beginner

So, I've been inspired by nathanialpov on tiktok and considering getting a soprano saxophone, but know there's other versions that would be better suited for a beginner. All the music stores near me have fairly expensive saxophones, so I guess I'll have to get lucky with finding one on Ebay for $400 ~ 500 AUD.

I've been on a 7 year off and on struggle with learning guitar as I'm naturally not good at anything and being bad at playing guitar (have a acoustic, electric and bass) ruins the little motivation I have. Anyway, that's my musical ability explained, I guess.

Easiest wind instrument to learn as someone with asthma?

I'm not exactly a musically gifted person, brought an acoustic guitar in 2019 and long story short, I only learned 2 chords and didn't start practising regularly until this year with an electric and bass guitar. Currently learning to play Hey Ya on electric, Seven Nation Army on bass and my acoustic has been collecting dust.

Anyway, with wind instruments, I'm mainly interested in the saxophone, specifically the soprano saxophone as I like this one guy on tiktok.

Best legendary effects for armour as a ghoul stealth archer?

Currently have 3 chameleon, 2 nocturnal, still working on other legendaries. I've been following this build for a ghoul archer - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EgphfJYCqgc

I know people assume chameleon is only good for pvp, but it's great at keeping you hidden. However, I find myself being thrown off by being invisible and have a hard time knowing when I've nocked an arrow in 1st/3rd person. It's manageable, but it does interrupt my shooting speed.

Couldn't get my cat to the vet appointment today (vaccine booster) as he kept escaping out of carrier while I was trying to put him in there

He's had an initial vaccine and was meant to have a booster today, but had to cancel the appointment as I just couldn't put him in the carrier. I'm planning to get a top loader cat carrier this week sometime and rebook the appointment asap.

What mods should I go with on bos recon armour?

I've currently just got the jetpack and got the last buttressed mods from Regs.

I'm a ghoul, stealth archer with reverse furious on a cyro, compound bow and a tse recurve for events. My legendary effects is 3 chameleon pieces and two nocturnal if that makes a difference. I'm mainly torn between deep pocketed and ultra light as I feel like my sneak is pretty good and I'm a hoarder and always running out of inventory storage. Though I have 1st, but unsure with how long I'll stay subscribed as I've recently became a single father for a cat.

I adopted Leonard at midday on Wednesday and after letting him out of the carrier, he immediately went under the bed after a quick scan of his room. He stayed under there for about 3 hours and slowly crawled out and walked over to me and has been very affectionate since then.

He was a stray, about 10 months old and didn't get to a shelter until 3 weeks ago. He's been vaccinated, desexed and microchipped before adopting, just need to get him a vaccine booster sometime soon.

He was very cautious with checking out the rest of house on Thursday, he's getting more comfortable, but prefers to follow me into a room. Occasionally, he hides under the bed when I leave, but he gets out very quickly when I'm back.

My sister came over yesterday and he was fine with her. Going to introduce him to my mum and her boyfriend one at a time, then slowly introduce him to my other cats (two sisters we adopted as kittens) at my mum's place. First, with scent swapping for a while, then seeing each other through a glass door and eating, then short meetings in the same room with either both or one at a time based off their reactions.

Leonard's 10 months old, was a stray until 3 weeks ago as he got found and sent to a shelter. He was fairly shy yesterday and immediately hid under this bed for about 2 ~ 3 hours, until he crawled out and has been very affectionate ever since. I cat-proofed the rest of the 1st floor and let him explore at his own pace, he was very sneaky about it and was looking all over for other cats and stuff. He kept going back to his room, but after a while, he stayed in the living room with me and seems to enjoy looking out into the street while walking along the windowsill.

I didn't notice in the shelter as it was somewhat dark, but when I let him out at my place, I noticed he has some white hairs, which I assume are from stress as I feel like they're not frequent/whole enough to be a tuxedo cat. So I've been sure to cause as minimal stress as possible, I'm surprised that he listens to me practising guitar and is curious about it.

Edit - I played with him, took my hoodie off and onto the bed as he seems to like resting on it and turned the lights off. I'm going to let him in my bedroom eventually, but it's currently the 'lego waiting to be built' room and don't want to deal with him eating small pieces. I can hear him meowing occasionally and it's hard to fight the urge to go check on him and try to sleep in the same room. But I got work in the morning and I know he has to get used to being alone.

Edit 2 - went to the bathroom at 2am and heard him meowing, so i made the excuse of checking the litter and eventually went to sleep with him by my side at 4am.

Adopted this guy for the price of two ounces and he was pretty shy at first. Hid under the bed for about two hours and eventually crawled out. He's been very affectionate ever since, though he does get bity when he's playful during belly rubs while rolling around on the carpet.

He was a stray at a shelter for 3 weeks, though he's 10 months old. Name's Leonard. I'm just letting him get comfortable in his room, before he explores the rest of the house. I'm looking forward to eventually introducing him to my other two cats at my family's place and other people.

I was going to get groceries, but I'm kinda bedlocked with him sleeping on my lap while I'm playing fo4 on my steam deck.

I was conflicted at the adoption place as there were 3 cats I was interested in, two tabbies and one black cat. I eventually decided on adopting the black cat as he let me belly rub him fairly quickly and was very friendly.

He's called Leonard and was a stray, about ten months old and was in the shelter for 3 weeks.

I'm looking forward to him getting more comfortable with me and explore the rest of the house. I've left dry food, water and the litterbox with a tarp under it in his room, so I'll just check on him occasionally throughout the day.
