I’ve always been fascinated by female characters that are defined specifically by what they mean to the (mostly male) characters around them in an objectifying way but I don’t mean misogynistic writing because I fully believe the narrative can be aware of the tragedy of never belonging to yourself or being allowed to have any agency in your own life. The mysterious dead girl who is the object of everyone’s curiosity or grief whose relationship with the men in her life is the focus of the investigation. Like…. The horror of having no agency within your own identity & no power to change that or take control of your own narrative.

today is a big day for our campaign. it’s the 50th session and finally, finally, the stakes are about to go through the roof.

The party:

Alice, a half-orc sorcerer trying to disavow her powers to regain a normal life (currently possessed by an angel serving Bane)

Cicero, a halfling bard and cop who was investigating some crime the party was involved in (quit the party and was about to get Murdered but instead joined the cult trying to murder him)

Remmy Jamie ???, a shady aasimar cleric working on some side projects but genre savvy enough to know that something bad is coming

Leap, an elderly tiefling ranger who left a cult in her youth but is now avoiding her home and family in favor of high adventure with her old friend...

Gadao, an earth genasi monk seeking wisdom and identity (and “running” his startup, a detective agency)

Blue, an aarakocra bard with only 2+ years of memory, who recently learned of their former identity, Rauri Wescra, a wizard who was last involved in an odd research collaboration

and Kelly of the Bog, a human druid entering the world beyond their marsh for the first time, looking to find their inheritance. (Temp character while Alice is away)

The place:

The city of Kesseaux, nestled between the bluffs near the Dragonspine mountain range, not far from the Marsh of the Petrified. Kesseaux is a city of food, fashion, and classic architecture, featuring a somewhat corrupt police force, high-status merchant families running the government, and the Elderwood Lyceum, a campus of learning and research complete with a massive library full of vital and fascinating lore.

The problem:

Blue’s former self, Rauri Wescra, once worked with an Archdruid by the name of Twill, on a research project they no longer remember. But Twill never let her project go. Three years later, and Twill is close to achieving her goal. In an underwater lab in the heart of Kesseaux, she’s been spending an involuntary sabbatical refining the design that will transform a hapless individual into the [REDACTED], an elemental creature of lightning that is designed to destroy the indulgent trappings of this refined city--starting with Archdruid Twill’s personal enemies.

The party has discovered many of Twill’s plans for the transformation, but because the last possible moment to create this creature is in a few weeks, they’ve let things slide. They also think, because she has contacts in other cities, that the showdown is in Tanen, not Kesseaux. Twill is in the final stages of preparation, ahead of her deadline: if the party cannot take prompt, even immediate action, the [REDACTED] will be created with no chance to stop or slow Twill down.

Best of luck to my players on such an auspicious occasion. By the time this posts, we’ll be in the thick of it.

In-game start date: December 6th, the 3024th year after the Godswar.

I love doomed characters I think I fall in love the most with the characters that never stood a chance. there’s something about being impossible to save that makes me so obsessive. like I’m so sorry. there was never going to be a happy ending for you & if there was it wouldn’t be the same story & you wouldn’t be you. characters who are defined by their tragedy & yet you still want to save them so bad my beloved….

[juniperhillpatient]

I don’t know what makes them think it’s ok to act this way in front of god & their siblings but I love them

[juniperhillpatient]

Also let it be known Guilty as Sin was on repeat as a Nick/Alice song, You Know I’m No Good was actually written retroactively about @izzysawyer & No Children is just about most families in Barren Lake

[juniperhillpatient]

writing a normal story about normal characters who cope normally <3

[juniperhillpatient]

It’s truly so nice of my best friend Taylor Swift to write so many songs about my characters she’s like obsessed with my writing & I really appreciate that about her

[juniperhillpatient]

ghost stories aren’t really truly complete if at least one of the ghosts isn’t insatiably horny tbh

[juniperhillpatient]

I loved dead girls in stories. girl who is a problem or a mystery to be solved or a tool to be used or a symbol to be idolized by everyone in her life before & after she dies & no once can see why she’s driven just a little crazy by it because everyone loves her after all is such a fun character archetype. girl who no one’s ever really known - not really- & who’s death is integral to the fabric of the story my beloved

[juniperhillpatient]

I think Ryan Hollinger calling horror the most empathetic genre is my Roman Empire. It’s so TRUE

[juniperhillpatient]

there isn’t anything quite like being in that mode where EVERY good song is about your current fixation & then you come across a song that ACTUALLY is like no seriously every lyric u guys fr this time
