The shadow of fear

Rhea Ripley x fem! reader

Song fic using " I love you " by Billie eilish

I think this ended up way more sad than the requester wanted. oh well! (A good amount of this story will be told from rheas pov)

Y/N's POV

As i stand in the back with the judgment day, I know that todays storyline involved a lot on me and Damien, im not to happy about it, but it gets a raise out of the fans, so i just deal with it. Rhea has been a bit distant lately, i don’t really know why, but I’ll try to talk to her.

“Rhea, my love! Hi!” I said in my normal upbeat tone, “Hey y/n” she said, she never really calls me y/n so it caught me off guard. “ are you okay?” I asked as i plopped next to her on the couch, “I’m fine, love. Are you ready for tonight?” She asked I could tell that something was bothering her but I didn’t want to push her before her matches tonight and i know this promo is going to piss her off even more, I’ve talked to the GM about changing the storyline, but they continue to say “its just a storyline and the fans love you two” and I can’t fight with them, wrestling is my passion, and its how i pay our bills.

**small time skip**

I stand backstage with Damien standing in front of me, all i can think about is “ I don’t even know if that’s pg” as his hands snake around my waist.

“Ya’know y/n, people talk..about us” Damian said his face close to mine, it almost makes me want to cringe, it was horrible in everyway, but, for the screen.

I lean closer putting my hands on his chest and looking up at him, “ let them talk,” i take a small pause “ because..we know what’s real and what’s not” I say with a small smirk, as i continue to let my hands Rome his body. “You enjoy playing with fire, dont you y/n.” He said pulling me softly against the wall. I feel the eyes burining into my back and i know who they belong to, but I can’t do anything about it, and I worry’s me, i know this isn’t easy for her to watch at all. I move my hands up to his chin slowly “ Maybe i do, maybe i want to burned” I say, i know the part that is next is going to be the worst, as i watch him lean closer to me, i know what im going to have to do , i soft,y close my eyes as he lays a soft kiss on my lips, its nothing like rheas, not comforting, not gentle, not wanted.

**rheas pov**

I had to sit and watch that whole promo..i had to watch my best friend on and off screen kiss my girlfriend and the rage running through my body. I make my way to the locker room, and from there i guess things start to clearly get worse. I see y/n and Damian giggling about the dumb promo, his hand on her shoulder, normally this would be fine, lighthearted actions, but i knew better than that, “hey..” i let out a small huff, “Hi, how are you? “ Damien said moving away from y/n “im good, tired, but good” i lied, and i know y/n noticed, but I didn’t really have time to deal with her drama.,

But that all changed when she looked at me, this look wasn’t nor,al.. loveless, i dont know.. and as soon as Damian walked out the door, it was like a rush of emotion fell over me.

“Are you enjoying it?:” i yelled slightly. Her head turned quickly. “What..? Rhea why would you say that?” She looked at me a hurt expression on her face, she sat on the arm of the couch.

“Tell me I’ve been lied to?” I said softly, i feel the tears fall from my eyes, “rhea… baby, my love its all part of the show, i swear.. i promise” She said as she moved closer to me, tho i just kinda pushed myself away from her, how does someone show so much emotion, so much..lust, when they are just faking it? I put my head in my hands. “ rhea! I’m being honest with you. I dont know why you’re thinking this!?” Y/n yelled at me, she never yells, this just makes the frustration overcome the sadness for a minute “Maybe wont you take it back?” I yelled back. “ say you where trying to make me ‘laugh’” my voice cracked a bit “Do you know what its like watching the love of you life with someone else, do you know what its like to see you two interact with eachother, how your constantly touching eachother, constantly kissing eachother!” I ramble out trying to push down the pain “Rhea, its just an act..” she said, she reached out for my hand but I quickly pulls away..”I can’t help i feel this way..it eats every part of me..”

as this argument clearly goes nowhere, its getting more heated, we are both at the point of standing and almost yelling.. this causes the anger to slowly melt into sadness.

“I love you.., and i dont want to” I said, and her face whent pale, i felt so bad i knew i needed to explain to her. the tears instantly start falling, messing up my makeup im sure. “ I love you y/n so much, so so much, but this dumb being with my best friend on screen shit is breaking my heart.i can’t stand it anymore y/n, I Hate that im like this y/n i hate that im jealous, i hate that im so upset, im sorry that I love you so much” i say as tears pour from my eyes

*y/ns pov*

“I’m sorry that i love you so much” she said.. that i love you so much.. this hurt, i needed her to know, “My love..” i say as i stepped closer to her, she once more tried to step away from me, but I wouldn’t allow that’s not this time, i grabbed her hands “Rhea, hey, listen to me my love, please..” she stopped trying to get away from me, but wouldn’t look me in my eyes, “my love, can you look at me as well?” She looked up making eye contact with me, her eyes all red and puffy, it pained me to see her like this, “ my love. I can’t escape the way, I love you.” I spoke softy, “ i honestly hate the promos, I’ve talked to the GM 100 times, and they wont listen to me, i couldn’t leave you, i could never love anyone more than I love you.” I softly smile at her. The look on her face tells me she needs a bit more reassurance “ no matter what dumb script i have to follow, or what i do infrount of that camera, i only want you” i told her, her grip tightened around me.

I pulled her into a hug, softly running my hands through her hair, “i love you, and i dont want this to come between us," I spoke softly. "I can't help the way I love you" she said with a small smile dang hugged me tighter "I'm sorry I let this get to me"

THANK you for reading

Xoxo. V.4mp.

WIBTA for writing fanfics shipping two characters from a TTRPG campaign?

submitted: 1/25/24

this feels like a complete non-issue, but oh my god am i anxious. please dont be mean. everyone in the story (including characters) are adults. many unimportant details omitted bc the gm is on tumblr and if he saw this i think i would turn into dirt.

im in an online campaign and we've been playing for a couple months. my character has become my Actual Son and i love thinking about him all the time. the other night, me and two other players were chatting in a channel on the discord about our characters. it was simple things like how our characters view each other, and it was all in good fun.

we were analyzing one of the characters because their player (O) made a playlist based off their life, and the other player (B) joked about my character and playlist character being involved romantically. it was silly and the O said anyone was welcome to try romancing their character, we made a silly ship name and joked that B was the first official shipper. i replied and said i might be one too and we kept joking about it.

however, my brain has been rotating these two characters in my head for hours now and i want to write my own personal headcanons/shipping fics for them. they've both interacted a lot and have quite a bit of lore they've experienced together in the campaign and its angsty and i cannot stop thinking about it.

i have a password protected writing blog on tumblr where i would be posting them for private archival and otherwise i wouldnt tell anyone about it unless our characters actually started behaving romantically.

reasons i think i could be the asshole: im worried this will affect my roleplaying with this character, im also worried i misunderstood how much of the conversation was joking, im also not sure where the whole group stands on characterXcharacter romance and worry about making people uncomfortable

reasons i dont think im the asshole: the writing will be kept privately for my own enjoyment, my ttrpg character has grown into more than just my tabletop character and i've been fleshing out a life story for him, the law of 'do whatever you want forever'

so, would i be the asshole for writing ship fics between these two characters?

What are these acronyms?

We finally get GM Reader putting Rhea and Judgment Day in their place. Enjoy 💚

Summary: The GM Reader makes a trip to Raw with her boys as a favor to Pearce. Her objective? Remind Rhea and Judgment Day who's in charge.

It's another Monday night episode of Raw, and Pearce is already worrying about what Rhea and the rest of Judgment Day have planned for the night. Luckily for him though, Pearce has enlisted some backup for the night. A surefire way to end Rhea's tyrannical reign and get Judgment Day to fall in line. 

A black SUV pulls into the loading docks after Raw has just begun and Pearce is there to meet it. The driver-side door swings open and LA Knight steps out. Either side of the back door also open, Grayson and Austin both stepping out of the vehicle. Lastly, Grayson steps up to the passenger-side front door and pulls it open. 

"Thank you, Grayson." You step out of the SUV with a smile. 

"I got you, sweetheart." Grayson nods and steps out of your way. 

You come around the front of the SUV and walk over to where Pearce is waiting for you. Grayson, Austin, and Knight all fall in behind you. 

"Y/N, that was quite the entrance." Pearce chuckles when you reach his side. "Thank you for coming." 

"Well, a deal is a deal, Adam." You nod. "Come on, let's go have a quick chat." You put a hand on his shoulder before you turn to the harem standing behind you and awaiting orders. "You three know the plan. Pearce and I are going to go have a chat. We'll meet up later, alright?" You ask the group.,

Knight steps up and nods. "Don't worry about it, darlin', we've got it." He assures you. 

"Yeah, you can count on us, Y/N." Austin agrees. 

The trio walks off and Pearce heads backstage with you. "Where are they all going?" He asks you. 

"Like I said, they know the plan." You repeat yourself. "Don't worry, Adam. They're not going to do anything that'll get any of us into trouble." You assure him. "Now! Tell me what Rhea's been up to." 

Pearce nods and begins his long and arduous tale of the hell Rhea and Judgment Day have been putting him through. You walk with him and listen intently to his struggles and Rhea's laundry list of wrongdoings. 

"Wow, Adam." You put a stop to Pearce's rambling after a while. "I knew you had it bad with Ripley but come on. She's really got you in a chokehold doesn't she?" You stifle a laugh. 

"She does, yes." Pearce nods. 

You pat Adam on the shoulder gently to comfort him. "Don't worry, Pearce. I'll have it handled before the night is over." You assure him. "And speaking of handling it. Here comes our first victim of the night." You spot Grayson and Austin coming down the hall with Finn and JD. 

Austin and Grayson arrive with Finn and JD so you turn your attention to the group. 

"Finn! Jordan! It's been a while, huh boys?" You smile at the pair. 

"Y/N? What the hell are you doing here?" Finn cocks his head to the side in confusion. 

Jordan nods his head at you silently and you smile at him. "It's alright, Jordan you're not in trouble." You tease him. "Not yet anyway. The truth is, I brought the two of you down here because you are by far the easiest to deal with when it comes to your little group. Well, besides Mysterio's bratty kid." You add. 

"Deal with us?" Finn replies. "What is this like blackmail or something?" He sneers at you. 

"No, not at all." You laugh. "It's more like me reminding everyone who the boss is. And make no mistake Finn, I might be GM of Smackdown only. But I'm still in charge sweetie." 

"Is that so?" Finn replies, still confident that you don't have any leverage against him. 

You crack a smile. "Is it." You confirm. "You see, Jordan here used to be real cozy with me back when I was stuck babysitting NXT, isn't that right, Jordan?" You turn to JD. 

"Y-yeah." Jordan nods.

"And Jordan knows better than anyone that I don't play when it comes to my superstars being out of line. Do I Jordan?" You ask him again. 

Jordan shakes his head, no and you smile. "No, ma'am." He answers you. 

"Good man." You pat Jordan's shoulder. "So, the way I see it is you've got two options here, Finn. Either you do what I ask of you tonight. Nothing bad or dangerous. Or, Jordan gets a one-way ticket back to slumming it in NXT for another year. And you, my friend? You get to join him in a tag team down there." 

"You can't do that!" Finn protests, but Jordan shakes his head. 

You smile as Jordan pulls Finn to the side in a hushed tone. The pair speak for a moment before they both walk back over to you. "What do you need from us?" Jordan asks you. 

"Simple, really." You reply. "Rhea and I have some business later in the night. When it goes down? Don't come out there to try and save her." You explain. 

"That's it?" Finn scoffs. 

"That's all." You nod. "Deal?" You hold a hand out for Finn to shake. 

Finn and Jordan share a look before Finn reluctantly shakes your hand. Austin and Grayson both step off to the side and let them head back to wherever they came from. Finn and Jordan both disappear and your phone buzzes in your pocket. 

"Yeah? You finished alright, Knight?" You answer the call. 

"Wasn't too hard," Knight replies on the other end of the line. "Priest got the message loud and clear. So you're all set darlin'." He informs you. 

You laugh and shoot a wink at Austin and Grayson. "Perfect. It looks like we're all set then, boys." You hang up and turn to Pearce. "Alright, Adam. Go ahead and get Rhea and Dominick out to the ring for me." You ask him. 

"Both of them?" Adam asks. 

"Mhm. Both of them." You confirm. 

Pearce nods and heads off to get Rhea and Dominik in the ring for you. You walk over to Austin and Grayson to do one more check that everyone knows what the plan is. 

Around half an hour later, Pearce has Rhea in the ring and is fighting a losing battle when it comes to reigning her in. "Alright, let's go ahead and get this over with." You adjust your blouse and nod to one of the backstage workers.

The worker hands you a microphone and you step through the curtain. "Miss Rhea Ripley. Come on, give poor Adam some slack will ya?" You ask as you come through the curtain and stop at the top of the ramp.

Rhea stops her verbal assault of Pearce in the ring and turns towards the ramp. "Excuse me? And who are you?" She asks you, Dominik cackling at her side.

"Y/N L/N." You introduce yourself. "Smackdown GM, and the woman that's here to put an end to this whole, 'Rhea rules the world.' charade." You explain as you head down the ramp to the ring.

Rhea and Dominik both laugh as you make your way down to the ring. Pearce comes around and parts the ring ropes for you and you come face-to-face with your target.

"Is that so?" Rhea grins at you with a Cheshire smile. "And what makes you think that you're any different than little Adam Pearce?" She challenges you. "What? Did Pearce bring you hear to fight me?" She snickers.

"Fight you?" You laugh. "Oh, definitely not." You shake your head. "No, as much as it would be delightful to knock all that caked mascara and dry lipstick off your face, Miss Ripley. I am both much too pretty, and smart, to bother fighting you physically." You explain.

Rhea sneers at you, taking a step forward to get in your face, but you remain stoic and calm. "So what then?" Rhea stares at you.

"My terms are simple, Miss Ripley." You reply. "From now on you are going to adhere to the script that Adam Pearce provides you with each week." You explain. "And if I hear that you've even so much as thought about going off script? Well, then you can kiss Judgement Day goodbye. And you can also be rest assured that your precious women's championship will be in the hands of someone who deserves to hold it."

"Excuse me!?" Rhea raises her voice at you. "And what in the hell makes you think I'd do any of that?" She asks you.

You smile to yourself and stifle a laugh. "It's simple really, Miss Ripley." You turn to the ramp as most of the RAW women's roster all file out from the backstage area. "I think you'll find that you've made plenty of enemies. Do yourself a favor, and don't make me one of them." You warn her. "Go ahead Miss Ripley, call for backup from your friends. But I think you'll find that they aren't as loyal as they seem."

Rhea eyes the plethora of women all standing at the top of the ramp. She glances at Dominik before picking her microphone back to her lips. "Alright, I'm done here." She huffs. "You don't scare me! Finn! Damian! JD! Get out here!" She calls for backup.

You turn toward the ramp and wait for Rhea's backup to arrive with a smile on your face. After a couple of minutes, you turn back to Rhea and shrug. "I warned you, Miss Ripley. And just as a show of good faith that I'm not some thug that had your boss locked away or beat up? You can come out now!" You call out to the ramp.

Rhea watches Finn and JD sheepishly come through the curtain and stop about halfway down the ramp. Damian comes out a few seconds later but doesn't go any further than his companions.

"What are you all doing!" Rhea shouts at her companions.

"Yeah, they're my compliant little bitches now, Miss Ripley." You reply with a self-satisfied smile. "But, I will give them back with no strings attached. That is if you agree to stop making my friend's life hell every week." You nod to Pearce.

Dominik, having been silent this whole time. Finally decides that it's his time to shine. He puts a hand on Rhea's shoulder and assures her that he can handle the situation. "That's enough! You can't talk to mami like that! We're done here!" He begins making his way over to you.

"Yeah, that's not a good idea, mate." Grayson hops up to the apron next to you.

"I agree with Waller, you should probably back off." Austin nods from his side.

Dominik stands his ground, hopeful that his display of defiance will be enough to rouse his comrades into action.

"If you think that this little fake show of confidence is going to get your buddies to come help you. Well, you are deadly wrong, my friend." You smile at Dominik. "In fact, all that's going to earn you is an ass-kicking from my boys here." You nod to Grayson and Austin. "Now. Rhea? Do we have a deal? Or do I need to make another pointless display of what I'm capable of if you continue to get on my nerves?" You ask her.

"You can't do this!" Rhea stomps her foot in frustration. "I'll go straight to your boss! Triple H won't let you treat us like this! We're the best thing that RAW has going on right now!" She insists.

You take your phone out of your pocket with a nonchalant expression and offer it to Rhea. "Oh, please do. And make sure to tell Hunter that I said hello."

Rhea stares at you in silence for a moment. She looks over at Pearce who simply shrugs at her. You wait patiently as reality sets in for Rhea as she is finally forced to admit defeat. She makes one last glance at the trio still standing on the ramp before she turns to you.

"Whatever! We're out of here." Rhea sneers at you one last time before she slinks out of the ring with Dominik in tow.

"Good choice, Miss Ripley." You call after her. "Well, Adam, this was certainly fun." You walk over to Pearce.

Adam chuckles and watches Rhea whispering with Damian, Finn, and JD once she reaches them. They all look up at you in the ring with Pearce and you offer them a wave. Grayson and Austin step into the ring and Knight slips into the ring from the other side.

"You are one scary woman when you want to be." Grayson chuckles as he walks over to you.

"Damn right." Knight agrees. "Don't mess with the lady in charge." He chuckles.

"You know it." You laugh with them. "Well, Pearce. My work here is done so I believe that it is time for me and my boys to all catch a late dinner, followed by a celebration of our victory here tonight." You sling an arm over Austin and Grayson on either side of you.

Pearce nods and offers you a handshake. "Thank you, Y/N. It was a pleasure watching you work." He thanks you.

"I know." You wink at him playfully. "Just let me know if you ever need my help again. Pearce. It's always a pleasure."

EVERYONE'S DOING GREAT IN THE BATIM CTHULHU GAME....

Joey's legs were definitely Very Broken last session, so in this one Jack is uHHHHHH USING? THE GIFT???? THE MASKED MESSENGER GAVE HIM???? TO HEAL JOEYS LEGS????? im sure thats fine

What's also definitely fine and normal is Prophet trying to interrupt a ritual and getting all of the ink sucked directly out of his body by said ritual????? GREAT!! COOL!!!! NOT LIKE HE NEEDS THAT TO STAY CONSCIOUS OR ANYTHING!!!

anyway have some drawings of the music boys having a normal one, and also, if you like out-of-context TTRPG quotes, have some out-of-context quotes from the most recent session under the cut!!

[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]

[Sammy] Sammy’s going to play carnival games! [GM] Okay! He sees a pop-gun and a shooting set-up. [Sammy] … I’m not super good at shooting. Do I have to follow the rules? Can I just like… go stand up close to it? [GM] I mean… no one’s telling you not to… [Sammy] I’m gonna cheat. [Joey] I love the idea of Prophet just, climbing up onto the counter and, as the targets go by, just poking them with the gun,

[Sammy] I am… hMMMRRMRMMmmm… I’m gonna try to stop running off without the rest of the sheep… [GM] Prophet’s New Year’s Resolution,

[Henry] Henry’s going to pick them up and carry them over to Leon. [Sammy] Leon? Really? [Henry] HE’S A MEDIC! [Sammy] I mean, Jack’s here and Jack’s not going to be confused that Joey has horns! [GM] He does look a little, hyperventilate-y, but, uh, he’s trying to fumble for his medical stuff, [Henry] …well okay if he looks panicked Henry’s going to turn around and take him to Jack. [GM] Just turns around on his heel like “Nope, that’s no good” [Sammy] Leon’s like “OKAY GOT MY DOCTORS KIT RIGHT HERE UH UM UH” and Henry’s just like “No. No.” [Jack] Jack also has an indefinite insanity, he’s got the same risk of fumbling, he also probably has LOWER medical skill – [Sammy] Yeah, that’s true, [Henry] OKAY, then yeah, you’re right, I’m taking him to Leon – [Joey] *laughs* Henry turns – Henry carries Joey towards Leon, Leon starts fumbling for his medical stuff, Henry turns around, takes one step towards Jack, looks at Jack, y’know, recovering from this very intense negotiation between two machines… and then TURNS AROUND AND HEADS BACK TO LEON,

[Henry] He might just set Joey on the desk and then be like “He’s hurt, can you help him.” [Joey] (“Fix.”) [Jack] (This is when Leon lets us know that he is not a doctor of medicine.)

[Sammy] At some point, Prophet will pop back into the room and say something like, “Come quickly, my sheep! Yellow mist rose from below!” [Jack] Jack’s gonna… turn to face the Prophet. And he’s not sure what look he’s giving him, but he’s giving him a look of SOME form. [Jack] Probably mostly panicked, honestly, [Sammy] Sammy, my guy, read the room!

[Sammy] Is Bendy having this one-sided conversation Out Loud? [GM] Yeah, that’s what I’m imagining! [Sammy] Ohhh I’m sure this is FINE, what’s gonna phase Leon at this point, honestly!! [GM] Just things about, “Where did you go, we were all worried, what are you doing, I think your legs aren’t okay? Sorry I tried to stand on them, I hope I didn’t mess them up,” [Joey] Hm…… this is a lot of information to feed into a Just Waking Up Joey, [Jack] And now Joey knows what it feels like to be talked at by Joey Drew!

[Henry] *carrying Joey* If you die because of this, I’ll kill you.

[Jack] Jack is gonna put the audiolog in his bag. [GM] Pete approves of this. [Sammy] Oh my goodness, Pete don’t enable him! [GM] He will!

[Joey] I’m suddenly worried about Henry… [Henry] I’M worried about Henry trying to carry Joey down these slippery stairs! [GM] You should be! :) [Sammy] That's an ominous thing for the GM to say… [Henry] Next up, HENRY breaks his legs! [Sammy] EVERYONE STOP BREAKING YOUR LEGS!

[Jack] Should I do something interesting? [Sammy] Yes. YES! Don’t listen to me, but YES.

[Henry] Henry is looking at him, with– it’s been oddly hard to read his expressions lately, I think, but he is… you have his attention!

[GM] There’s a counter on that shooting gallery setup– [Jack] Y-yeah, just, just put him down somewhere, I guess;;;; I don’t want to know what would happen if he tried to do this while Henry was carrying him. I don’t think he knows what he’s doing…! [Henry] Okay, Henry will put him down… [GM] Peter is also wondering what Jack is doing, but– [Jack] ANYWAY! Um…Jack is going to rummage through all of Joey’s pockets! [Joey] *bURSTS OUT LAUGHING* [Joey] I KNOW THAT THIS MIGHT HAVE, OTHER REASONS, But I’m JUST LOSIN' IT at “okay put him down! *STEALS ALL HIS STUFF* Okay thanks!”

[Jack] I don’t know how to explain this! Jack doesn’t normally do things that require explaining! He just collapses, in the swamp!!

[Sammy] Hey, Jack, what happened to your Constitution? [Jack] Oh y’know! [Sammy] Okay, alright, just checking! [Jack] Y’know, normal things! [Jack] Anyway, Jack feels terrified, but also great! It’s fine. :)

[GM] I don’t think Bendy is clued into all this weirdness. He’s just like, that was great! He didn’t know people could do that, why don’t they do that all the time?

[Joey] Did the ink go into his legs and then heal them? Or did the ink go into his legs. [GM] His legs do not hurt anymore! There’s some of that weird, displaced numbness? Where the breaks were? But they don’t hurt! Anymore! [Joey] …okay, but, [Henry] I notice that does NOT answer the question.

[GM] And Sammy can see that the person there is holding a bowl up to this mirror, where it seems to be filling with this knockoff yellow ink! [Jack] They are juicing it!

[GM] Is Joey being careful, going down these stairs? [Joey] You said it’s a spiral staircase, right? [GM] Mmhm! [Sammy] Joey, [Joey] Joey is going to, attempt to – [Sammy] jOEY, [Joey] –slide the railing! [GM] There isn’t a railing. [Joey] There’s not a railing??? [GM] There is not a railing. [Joey] Awww… [GM] You could slide down the stairs I suppose??? [Sammy] (Bumpbumpbump) [Joey] Joey is going to be disappointed that whoever made this scene forgot the most important elements of a spiral staircase!! [Sammy] Joey Drew… [GM] It’s just stone walls. [Joey] *dejected* This sucks… How am I supposed to cartoon my way down! This is so dumb! [Henry] You just WALK DOWN! Like a NORMAL PERSON!!! [Joey] NO!!! [Joey] …How deep is the drop, again? [GM] About two and a half stories. [Henry] Joey we just got those legs fixed! [Jack] JOEY DREW DON’T YOU DARE.

[Jack] Jack’s good at this, at least! *rolls* ….. Jack’s theoretically good at this,,,

[Sammy] Oh, it’s Moonlight! He’s in Carcosa! [Sammy] This would be SO funny if it was like, vanilla-flavour Sammy, hearing these threats from this guy he interacted with like, ONCE [GM] Sammy DID hear threats with the guy he interacted with once! That was like, his interaction! Running away while being yelled at with all sorts of horrible threats of bodily harm. [Sammy] Sammy checking his texts like “Who is this…”

[Joey] Joey is going to ask Bendy what Henry is doing right now, how Henry is faring. [GM] Bendy will say that it looks like he’s stabbing tentacles, with a pocket knife? [Jack] Well that seems normal, and not at all alarming! [Sammy] Yeah, I mean, that’s just a thing Henry does sometimes, I dunno [Henry] Normal Henry Behaviour, [Sammy] Exactly! [Joey] Joey is going to tell Bendy to keep an eye on them, but he wants to press forward to see if they can stop the ritual, because he doesn’t think they have time to run back, and also, he thinks Henry deserves to get a really heroic shot. [Henry] Thanks,,

[Joey] YEET THE TENTACLE MONSTER! [Joey] Jack has experience with snake-yeeting, so it helps.

[GM] Oh, nevermind, Peter is not scooting away, he is not moving much. [Joey] (Peter,,, Now is not the time…!) [Jack] ...Because he’s freaked out, or because he’s injured? [Joey] Because he left! He’s not there! He took Jack’s job! He was in this stressful situation and he just peaced out!!

[Sammy] I feel like I’m not going to be able to use the “scoping out the hotel” bonus dice. I think that ship may have sailed. [Henry] Clearly, in 30 years, Sammy ends up back at the same hotel, and goes, “oh! Hang on! I recognise this place!” [DM] It’s just lodged in his brain, [Sammy] He still has the bonus die, 30 years later… gotta return to the wRECKAGE OF CONEY ISLAND… [DM] …Let’s not wreck Coney Island. [Sammy] It WILL be wrecked in 30 years! [Joey] We don’t have to wreck it! [Sammy] It’s gonna burn down all by itself. [Joey] All by itself… and also just, conveniently for insurance claim purposes!

[GM] There would be magical backlash, that would probably hit all concerned, especially probably the lady, and if she were to die it would be very bad for the art of dance! [Sammy] Okay… but it wouldn’t bring about the Yellow King, just nobody could dance anymore? [GM] …potentially. [Sammy] Technically, nooooobody told me “and make sure people are still able to dance afterwards” [Sammy] Obviously that’s the IDEAL outcome, but it’s not… a necessary thing… [Henry] Sammy please

[GM] Peter doesn’t seem like he’s breathing well, but you could probably sort that out just by, like, positioning him a little better – [Joey] WELL~! I guess Jack just has to perform CPR then~! [Sammy] *laughs* I WAS ABOUT TO SAY, Alright, time for mouth-to-mouth~! [Joey] …probably, away from the tentacles, though?

[Jack] And what’s goin’ on with… other guy whose name I totally remember? [GM] Leon! Mostly cowering. [GM] He kind of grabs onto Jack’s arm when he gets close, and he’s just got his eyes closed and he’s trying to get his breathing under control, and he’s like, *nervously psyching self up* “Okayokayokayokay! Okay… let’s go…!” [Jack] Oh… oh no I got attached to him…

[Henry] Henry’s gonna tell him he can go back upstairs to Allison, if he wants. [Sammy] There is a steam-engine-headed man up there, but, y’know. [Sammy] Beggars can’t be choosers.

[GM] Leon’s still not looking. [Sammy] Need to get you a mask without eye-holes, my dude. They do wonders.

[GM] You hear a voice that doesn’t, sound… classically human?

[Joey] He’s planning on doing Giant Cartoon Hand Grab, and yanking her out of the circle the moment he sees Prophet cause a distraction. [Sammy] These two work SO well together for how much they DON’T work well together.

[Jack] We make bad decisions here in the music department.

Open Secret (m)

Hi @ghostlychill I promised you something Elijah-centric for being so incredibly kind in the tags of my last fic, so HERE IT IS. This takes place when Greyson is still relatively new, and also features Mark, the floor manager at Elijah’s restaurant. Based on a prompt from god-even-knows when: “The boss has a nasty cold but everyone knows not to say anything about it, even when he’s very obviously suffering.” Drabble-ish? Like 1200 words, is that a drabble? lmao

EDIT: the prompt is by @victoriablackrose and it is here! SUCH a good prompt ����

I really hope you like it! 

cw: male, cold, implied contagion, coughing

Open Secret

“So this is how it goes every time?”

Mark spun around in the chair beside Greyson and shrugged, noncommittal. “I mean, yeah. Pretty much.”

Greyson peeked around the office corner at his boss for the tenth time in less than a minute, then looked back to Mark with a look of incredulity. “You realize that’s fuckin’ bizarre, right?”

The younger man opened his mouth to say something, but closed it just as quickly with a pointed look over the top of Greyson’s head. Greyson spun around to see his boss standing in the doorway, very clearly on the verge of -

“Huhh....hhGTSHHH-oo!” Right on cue, Elijah pitched forward into the crook of his elbow with yet another massive sneeze. Greyson grimaced in sympathy, while Mark pretended to busy himself with something on the computer.

“Bless, boss,” Greyson said, standing up from the computer chair and offering it to the clearly-ailing GM. “Sounds like a nasty cold.”

Mark’s eyes widened and he stole a glance at the chef as Elijah sat down. Greyson rolled his eyes at the floor manager in return – this was so fucking juvenile.

When Elijah had walked in the back doors of the kitchen this morning, it had been almost comically clear that he was sick. The concealer Greyson knew he was wearing and the especially-well-pressed shirt and vest did nothing to hide the dark circles, red-rimmed nose, and constant shivering, despite Elijah’s best efforts. He’d greeted Elijah with a, “Morning, boss,” as he usually did, but Elijah hadn’t even acknowledged his presence before locking himself in the office.

“HNGSTTHH-ue!” Greyson had heard from behind the closed door. “Hhh-GTSHH-oo! HRSSHH! HUHESCHOO!”

Yikes, Greyson thought, putting down his knife and heading toward the office. He knew the cold that ripped through his kitchen last week had moved on to the front-of-house, but clearly it had hit Elijah much worse than any of the servers.

He’d gone to knock on the door and offer to make Elijah some soup or tea, but he’d been stopped cold in his tracks by the front-of-house manager, Mark. “I wouldn’t go in there if I were you,” Mark said, his voice low enough for Elijah not to hear behind the door.

Greyson snorted in amusement. “Mark,” he said, “don’t worry about me. I had that cold last week, if anything Elijah got it from me. I just wanted to see if he wanted -”

“He doesn’t want anything,” Mark said, hurriedly. “Trust me. Don’t bring it up.”

Greyson raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Don’t bring what up?”

“His...situation.”

“His cold?”

At that moment, the office door swung open and Elijah gave them both a venomous look. “Do the two of you have ndothing else to do?” he asked, punctuating the sentence with a cough. Greyson and Mark looked at each other, not sure what to say. Greyson was the first to break the silence.

“Boss, I -”

“Do mbe a favor, Chef,” Elijah said, swiping under his nose. “Stop worryigg about the frondt of house and go mbake the goddamn food.”

With that, Elijah had stomped out of the kitchen and into the dining room, leaving Greyson with his mouth agape. He turned to Mark, who was visibly cringing beside him.

“What the fuck was that about?” he asked. Mark gave the chef an apologetic look and a weak shrug.

“Like I said,” he repeated, “don’t bring it up.”

So, Greyson didn’t. He kept his head down through a coughing fit when he and Elijah were seated next to one another doing schedules in the office. He didn’t say anything when he went outside to smoke and Elijah was sitting on a milk crate, clearly asleep with his head in his hands, and he pursed his lips together during pre-shift, when Elijah lost his voice halfway through discussing reservations with special requests. Without missing a beat, Mark had picked up where Elijah left off. What the fuck was going on? Greyson wondered.

It was in the quiet moments before service, when he and Mark were commiserating in the office and Elijah was washing his hands for the millionth time that day, that Greyson had finally had enough.

“I dond’t have a cold,” Elijah croaked in retaliation to Greyson’s overt call-out. “Do you ndot have prep to do or sombething?”

Greyson shrugged. “Nope. All prepped out. I’d be happy to make you something, though. Maybe some soup?” he offered. Elijah’s face darkened.

“Greysond,” he said, sniffling. “Drop – hhNGSTHH-uhh!” Elijah groaned into the sleeve of his shirt and attempted to clear his throat before turning back to the chef. “Drop it.”

Greyson threw his arms in the air in frustration. “Drop what, boss? Clearly you’re so well.” Greyson turned and walked to the hot line then, deciding to put his energy onto his cooks, instead of his ill boss. Obviously, that was time wasted.

The shift was steady enough to get Greyson to forget about Elijah and his unrelenting denial for a few hours. It was a good shift, all in all; his cooks worked well together, and the servers seemed to be on their best behavior – likely because they didn’t want to invoke the wrath of sick Elijah by fucking up. Maybe he should get sick more often, Greyson found himself thinking after the relatively-easy shift, but that thought quickly dissipated when he saw his boss slumped over and coughing into his sleeve in the office. Greyson sighed, gathered his strength, and walked into the office.

“Hey,” he said to Elijah, closing the door behind him. Elijah looked up at him through watering eyes, and attempted to suck in through his nose, to no avail.

“Hi,” he answered, his voice cracking on the single syllable. Greyson winced again and sat down next to his boss.

“I’m sorry,” Greyson said. “For, you know. Being an ass.”

Elijah coughed out a laugh in response. “You? Please,” he said, pulling a tissue from the box between them and blowing his nose. “I’mb the one who told you to get back in the kitchend.”

Greyson chuckled, a low and quiet sound. “Listen,” he said, “I know I haven’t been here that long. But I promise I’m not trying to, like, question your authority or anything. I know this is your restaurant, and I would never try to belittle you.” He looked up at Elijah then, who was resting his head in his hand and staring at Greyson with a confused expression. When Greyson didn’t continue, Elijah sighed and moved his glasses to rub one of his eyes.

“I appreciate that, Grey,” he said, surprising Greyson by using a nickname he hadn’t heard since childhood. “And I’mb really sorry. I kndow you were just tryigg to help.” Elijah shrugged, and sniffled. “I just…I don’t really kndow how to like… accept it. Help, that is.” Elijah looked like he was about to say something else, but instead he wrenched to the side to once again – “huh-GTSH-oo! HNGSTHH! HRSSHHH! Huhh…hhEZSTCHH-ue!”

Greyson winced; Christ, he sounded like shit. Unsure what else to say, Greyson just pushed the tissues closer to his boss. “Bless you, Lij,” he said. Elijah stole a surprised glance at the nickname, and took a few more tissues.

While Elijah blew his nose, Greyson reached into his backpack and pulled out a couple blisterpacks of dayquil from when he was sick the week before. He pushed them towards Elijah; a peace offering. Elijah took them without a word.

“So…” Greyson said, breaking the silence. “The soup offer still stands. I mean, if you’re up for it.”

Elijah coughed out a short laugh. “Hondestly,” he said, popping open the medicine and giving Greyson a genuine smile, “soup sounds ambazing.”

No. 7 - S1, Tomb of Horrors (October 1978)

Author(s): Gary Gygax Artist(s): David C. Sutherland III (Cover), David Trampier Level range: 10-14 Theme: Meatgrinder Dungeoncrawl Major re-releases: So, so many. S1-4 Realms of Horror, Return to the Tomb of Horrors, Tomb of Horrors (2005), Tomb of Horrors (2010), S1-4 Dungeons of Dread, Dungeon #213, Tales from the Yawning Portal, Tomb of Annihilation (sort-of)

I said earlier that S1 is probably the only adventure more ported than G1, and I was right. You have so many options for S1. The original monochrome, the green cover, the compilation version, the silver anniversary version re-erlease-and-sequel, a 3.5e port, a 4e port, a DND Next port w/ 4e porting instructions, and then finally the 5e port in Tales from the Yawning Portal. The only people being left out here are the 2e people, and making 1e adventures go into 2e is as natural as breathing.

As the cover points out, this was originally run at Origins I, and there is so much community lore surrounding this module that I will spare you the rigamarole. If you know where I stand on the "meatgrinder vs fair challenge" argument, go read the Theme header again.

These illustrations are iconic. In basically every re-release they are kept as is, one of the few things that makes the 5e release stand out is not including the original 31 illustrations. And while the new art is OK, I, it can't hold a candle to the sheer charisma of the originals. And -- why no green devil head? That's the single most memorable thing from the scenario? We get one, actually, but it's on the map and I think it's an image from the archives because it looks an awful lot like an old cover of Dragon. If you do run this in 5e, you really owe it to your players to hunt down and use the original illustrations.

I am now morally obliged to tell you that, when I went through Tomb of Horrors (5e version, that's what I can find GMs for), I died to the Juggernaut. Which is actually extremely funny, because earlier when I was in Tomb of Annihilation I died the exact same way! So I guess Juggernauts are my personal arch nemesis. I personally didn't like my time there, but there is value in a module that everyone has played. I wouldn't've picked S1 for the task but I'm glad we have one at least. In general, this will be a a sparse entry in the series. The Tomb of Horrors is Tomb of Horrors. It is both extremely notable and also weirdly bland -- there's just not much to say about a lot of these trollish traps. They're highly specific and only really work in the moment, for very specific tables, at a very specific cultural moment. It's actually kind of boring to read in 2024? How much can one really say about a 20-colored mural with a variety of "it does nothing" effects?

Alright, enough stalling. The module starts with now-traditional Gary intro of "hey, your players are going to try and get extra information in [obvious way], defeat that." Today's edition is that Legend Lore is rendered useless by a combination of obscurity and….too much information? Ok… And then the also very Gary "If your players are dumb stupid idiots they will hate this module", which he also did in G1-3.

Eventually, your party finds this stupid looking thing, which is (I know this is repetitive) iconicly so-bad-its-good. And everything about this intro is trolling. So There are three routes into the tomb, two of which are trapped and fake. 2024 DND players would never think to try any of these things, but I do get the sense that in 1978 it would've occurred to most veteran players to try things like "poking the wall with sticks" and "extensive excavations". Anyone who tries to be clever and bypass shit by phasing into a parallel plane gets got by Demons, and I like the theory that Seth Skorkowsky aired a while ago that the Demons are the ones maintaining the Tomb so you should steal that.

You know what? Let's just go into keyed mode.

I do not respect this "only these express options work" mindset. It's very anti-ttrpg to have pre-programmed solutions Naturally, the second door cannot be removed by strength, only by one of 5 spells and thinking to wedge the door with iron in a specific day works. IDK bro I know the idea is Acererak is an asshole and has bewitched this complex to high hell but cmon, even the fake doors are borderline invulnerable?

There's a riddle-poem that hints at the solutions to the dungeon's puzzles. I actually really like this poem, and for all this module's sins I disagree with commenters who think the poem is too vague. At least when I was playing, it was just right.

That is the most off brand Ancient Egyptian tomb hallway I ever did see, and I do kind of love it. As for how confusing the wall-door-chest trap is, it's trollish but it makes sense to me. The chest is a red herring to distract you from the actual secret door, which is a literal door, and honestly that's a hint I consider fairly on the nose.

The misty arch sucks. The short version is that if you press the glowing stones in the right order, you progress, otherwise you get teleported to one of three random rooms. The solution is inscrutable to me (why that order? you could brute force it but that'd be suicide) and I really wish that the book spelled out what the puzzle logic was -- a lot of newer adventures will explain the operating logic in parentheticals next to the solution. If the answer is "you're supposed to brute force it", I have no respect for that mindset.

The devilhead is obviously iconic as hell and we love it. As many commenters have noted, the often-cited "our whole party climbed in and died" story is incompatible with a RAW or RAI interpretation -- your GM was just an asshole, your character died as soon as their head got annihilated and the party would see their body go limp suddenly. There is no way all 5 of you piled in without removing a body and discovering they're Very Dead.

The lever room also sucks. You could only guess the solution, and the act of testing will get you killed. And don't give me "well your hirelings" your hirelings are not going to test any traps after they see the 2rd guy get turned into meatpaste, and while ADND lacks the hard cap on people hireable that Basic had, you're still going to run out of guys who are willing to commit suicide in here in short order.

"Yet there are also depicted various religious symbols of goad alignment, and a faint aura of good can be magically detected. What a puzzle! Could the demi-lich actually have been of good alignment" This will fool no-one Gary. It's the Tomb of Horrors, not the Tomb of Hope. He clearly bewitched the chapel to appear as good, which literally anyone would think of. Heartbreaking: worst lich you know has access to revolutionary SRS magic.

It's at about this point where I realized how little there really is to comment on in this dungeon. It really is just a sequence of obtuse murder traps that are faintly hinted at. The things that are iconic about it (the devilhead, the acerack fakeout) are actually exceptions to the rule -- both of those are super clear traps that are designed to tease particularly foolish players. The majority of the dungeon is, tap random objects and get gassed by poison or dropped into spikes. In a lot of ways ToH feels like the bad timeline version of White Plume Mountain, which is trollish in a more memorable way? What I mean here is, when people complain that ToH is unfair they're burying the lede. A hard dungeon can be fun. An unfair dungeon can be fun! The issue is that Tomb of Horrors is boring. Every room being a puzzle tied to a deathtrap with almost no combat or negotiation is tedious.

Basically every tomb of horrors room has this setup:

You walk into a room with an illustration that looks cool, and there is some vague image, object, or feature in the room that is conspicuous

There is either no obvious exit (strongly implying a secret), or an extremely obvious exit that is currently impassable

You have to try fiddling with any object in the room that can be fiddled with, or grope around for an illusion

There is a roughly 25% chance there is a vague hint from 3 gameplay hours ago that will help you if you interpret it correctly, and a 75% chance that this is intended as attrition

You fuck around for a while, and maybe you work out the puzzle and maybe you don't. Almost certainly, someone takes 50% damage or has some vital asset removed or changed about them.

You eventually pass into the next room

Really the variety of traps in this dungeon is surprisingly narrow -- something like half of these traps are "activate these objects in a specific order or orientation". The other half are some variety of mist or gas or cloud or other fluid that kills you if you do not avoid or interact with it in the specific way. Occasionally when you're lucky, you simply turn a lever and get skewered -- what a treat!

The final encounter with Acereak, you will be unsurprised to learn, also sucks. If you touch his jeweled skull, he instantly steals your soul and ruins your body (no save, no appeal). If you guess one of the, again, explicit list of options to destroy the skull (which you have already established will instantly kill one ally per touch) which is of course very specific (essentially, holy attacks, the most powerful magical swords, and inexplicably gem-slinging), you can kill him in 50 hp. Weirdly, the soul gems that you get trapped into do offer some escape from death, but it's a terrible one -- IF you pass your save, IF they crush the gem, IF there is an eligible body for their soul to go into (yours was ruined), then you may come back to life in a very different form. Completing the Tomb gives you, of course, 100k exp. And in ADND that'ssss…. actually not very much. At level 10, 100k exp is not even a full level for most classes to get a level (thieves are the exception) and your actual treasure haul I think is going to be fairly meager -- I think the average character will get maybe one level of experience after distributing the loot. For going through one of the most dangerous dungeons ever.

I remain a bit of a ToH hater.

In blog news, we are looking at post 7.5 coming up, in which I will do another retrospective on the year's developments, and as a special treat we will be briefly discussing the first Dragon Magazine dungeon!

[hottakehoulihan]

Setanta

Characters behave recognizably canonically: Yes Not abandoned incomplete: Complete. Engaging (Funny/cool/thoughtful/feels): Yes. All. Do I recommend it: Absolutely. Curbstomp, Cuddles, Crack, Cyoot: No. Maybe call this "artfic."

This is a post-GM fic that was written prior to Ward being conceived. It's canon-compliant. Also? It's great stuff. I'm not sure what my top wormfic would be if I ranked them, but this is probably in my top three.

This story focuses on original characters in the Worm setting. Only a small handful of the parahumans from Worm get roles in the story. You'll see a fair bit from Tattletale, Bitch, Defiant, and a dozen others you'll recognize (or could recognize), but the protagonist and his inner circle are different people.

The stakes are still high, though, and this story aims to be a serious work of fiction with the same blend of tragedy, adventure, comedy, and thought as usual.

I could use fluff after this last week, but I did enjoy having a work with substance. ...and it's also substantially lengthy; it has multiple arcs. I've been reading it at bedtime for a few weeks now.

Baseline premise is that our protagonist Jordan--who has some injuries, neurological and physical--from a period of his childhood he can't remember well and who got lots of medical aid at The Orphanage school (a pretty great place, sounds like) which helped him break out of his catatonia.

Jordan's focus since that point has been devoting his every effort to becoming A Hero, and he's what some might call inhumanly good at it because he's got his own mind broken and reformed in ways that help.

Alas, he doesn't seem to be triggering with parahuman powers. Frustrating, that. Still, he's remarkably effective. ..and there are some shadowy forces that have plans for him, which will eventually have world-shaking consequences.

...

This work is VERY good--IMHO--and it is sometimes fun. That is praise, and it is also a caution. I read much of this at bedtime (I've been busy) and, well,

I encountered an advice-to-authors once that said "if you're leaving clues for your readers that you intend them to pick up on, a good rule of thumb is to leave three times as many clues as you think they'll need. ...because you're the author, so the clues stand out more obviously to you than they will to the reader."

(and also, the days of reading as Nabokov would have us--with a dictionary, a pen and notepad, and a good memory--are not days most of us are living. I do not take notes as I read for fun, and I do not control the remember. If I always use and seldom need a dictionary, it's only a fruit of my misspent youth.)

The author (Ritic) also doesn't intend you to pick up on some of the clues. Like, ever. Just as IRL; some things are destined to be mysteries.

Anyway.

I read this on SpaceBattles and that's what I linked because I can't easily find this story on WordPress where it ostensibly primarily resides. For some reason it's not on AO3, which is what I'd otherwise urge people to read it on.

My 'rating system' for these wormfic reviews is sort of a four-star system, I guess, with zero, full, or half marks for one of the four (green) categories I've chosen to measure. ...but if I were giving this story marks on a percentage scale? It'd be at or above 90%.

Just recall that it's trying to be both a spiritual and a canon-compliant successor to Worm. You'll have a use for popcorn, but also for your staring-into-space-dumbly couch. (You have one of those too, right? It's not just me?)

Ah; I'm never gonna be a good advertiser. I sincerely endorse this story. As another bit of praise? I seldom was able to consistently predict what the story was about to do. I don't hate predictability--and indeed the next wormfic I read I hope will be fluffy and predictably squee-inducing--but this was a pleasantly mentally-engaging romp that had me gasping out loud sometimes at various surprises.

4/4 and I'll reread it eventually. ...and it's not impossible I'll take notes because there are things I'm still trying to figure out.

Brain Curd #4

Brain curds are lightly edited flash fiction written with the intention of being terrible... in an endearing way. Please enjoy.

Government Man worked in the CIA and had no name. Well, he had a name, but the rules said he had to leave it at home, so he’s just Government Man when he’s at work. Anyway, GM (as his friends call him) got in to work one day and his boss, Boss Man, called him into his office.

“Hi, Boss Man, you wanted to see me?”

“Yes I did, Government Man. I need you to be from the government in a small town in Arizona.”

“What is the town called?”

“I can’t remember. But I wrote it down somewhere, so you’ll find it.”

“Okay.”

“All you have to do is go to the town and say, ‘I am from the government’ when you see a big flying object in the sky.”

“What’s the big object?”

“I forgot. Don’t worry about it.”

So Government Man went to Arizona with his friend, Government Woman. They took a train there all the way from Washington DC, which is normally impossible because the national rail network has been commoditized and sold the the highest bidder and most tracks are either out of use or restricted to freight, but Government Man just told the train that he was from the government and it took him and Government Woman there as a special treat. It took a few days though.

Anyway, once they arrived, Government Man and Government Woman were shocked to see that nobody was there in the town. Government Woman pulled out her phone and started texting.

“Who are you texting, GW?” (That’s what Government Man calls her for short.)

“I am texting Boss Man for reasons. And also, I am reading an article.”

“What is the article about?”

She put away her phone. “I forgot.”

“Okay.”

So the two of them walked into town. A tumbleweed passed by.

“Is that the flying object?” Government Man asked Government Woman.

“Yes, I think so,” she replied.

“I am from the government.”

“Good job, GM.”

“Thank you. I guess we can go home now.”

“Wait,” Government Woman said. “Is that another flying object?” She pointed at a helicopter as it landed on the dirt in front of them.

“Yes it is. I am from the government.”

“Nice work.”

“Thank you.”

The helicopter door opened and out stepped Boss Man and all of Government Man’s closest friends (other than Government Woman, who was standing right next to him already and couldn’t be on the helicopter for that reason).

“Boss Man? What is happening?” asked Government Man.

“It is your birthday. This is a surprise party.”

A baker stepped out of the helicopter with a very large cake. Government Man stuck his finger in the frosting and tasted it. “Mmm, cake. It tastes like cake. That is my favorite.”

“Are you surprised?” asked Government Woman.

“Yes,” he replied, “because I had forgotten it was my birthday since I left my ID at home like I am supposed to.”

“Yes, we have all forgotten our birthdays,” Boss Man added. “Happy Birthday, Government Man. Let’s go celebrate by overthrowing a democratically elected socialist leader in South America.”

“Yes, let’s!” Said the whole crowd, except for the baker who was just there to deliver the cake. They piled into the helicopter and flew off into the sunset.

Writeblr Positivity Tag

OK, so 3rd time's the charm with this. Godsdamned life stuff getting in the way. Thank you to @captain-kraken for the tag.

Tags: whoever wants to complete this honestly, not sure who among my mutuals has done this already.

1. What motivates you to write?

Motivation to write is mostly an intrinsic thing and comes and goes depending on what is going on in my life. It has become a bit more consistent since I started treatment for ADHD though. Getting comments on my work helps a tonne as well since I like to keep my readers relatively happy.

2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)

This one is tough because I have a lot of snippets I'm very proud of. Let's go with one from Striking the Anvil:

Morag nodded in satisfaction again and set about damping down the fire while Meredith gulped down her drink. By the time the fire was out, Meredith was already getting up to head back to bed. Morag hugged her daughter tightly,

“If ye need anything’ else, hen, just shout. I don’t mind getting up.” She said, ruffling Meredith’s hair.

I love the close relationship Meredith has with her mother, and I'm thoroughly enjoying getting to show it off. For a character that was originally created for a d&d campaign, Meredith's family are very wholesome and somehow lived through the whole campaign, beginning to end.

3. Which OC makes you smile every time you think/talk about them and what are they like?

The OC that makes me smile every time is definitely Meredith. As much as I love and cherish Selene for being my first roleplay character ever, I got to play Merri from level 1 all the way to level 14/15 before I had to retire her to the role of npc when I took over as GM of the Destiny's New Servants campaign. Since Merri is everything I still aspire to be as a person, it's hard not to smile when thinking and talking about her.

As for what Merri is like: she's a forthright, loyal and devout woman. She will be the friend who will stand by you no matter what's going on, but will also be the first to call anyone out on their bs when it's needed

4. What process of writing do you enjoy the most?

I enjoy visualising the various scenes or pieces of a thing I plan to write. Sharing my work is the bit I enjoy the most, though. Knowing that whatever I've written will, hopefully, make others feel the way I did while writing is a big dopamine hit.

5. What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)

I think I'm pretty good at dialogue exchanges. I do need to work on the actions and tags in between the banter, but I do love having a spiel where it's just two or more people talking back and forth. I prefer to write more naturalistic dialogue and it's fun to read it back to myself.

6. What is something in the writeblr community is most enjoyable?

The most enjoyable aspect of the writeblr community is getting to know other writers and geeking out over all our OCs and the situations we get them into. I also enjoy the tag games because I get to see other peoples' thoughts and feelings about their work, worlds and characters, as well as their processes for writing.

7. A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)

I'll give shout out to text to speech programmes, because they do help sort out where I've gone wrong in the grammar department better than just reading through the document does.

8. A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)

I like all the worldbuilding tidbits that crop up in the stuff I write, but my favourite, by far, is the concept of cridhe-dàime. It comes up fairly often as a phrase that Meredith uses with regard to Elowyn and is a word that describes a type of queer-platonic relationship in universe. I came up with it after realising that Merri and Elowyn had a much closer friendship than most other characters even during the campaign the two were a part of. After said campaign ended I wanted to keep that closeness between them, and so came up with a word to describe a platonic relationship that was nonetheless as important to Meredith as her marriage to Yoruk. I didn't find out about QPRs until much later.

9. What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?

If you're having a rough patch, it's ok to walk away from a project that's frustrating you. You can always come back to it later with a fresh pair of eyes and/or ears. I would advise that, if you do this, that you read other things, write other projects or just keep up with some form of general creativity because getting back into the saddle will be much harder if you don't.

10. Tag some people whose works you love/have been your biggest supporters

My biggest supporter is @druidx, who is the creator of Elowyn and was my roleplay partner during the Destiny's New Servants campaign, which almost all my writing is currently based on. I love the comments you leave on my stuff, and I hope it still brings you joy to read about the characters' exploits despite how long it's been since we last played together.

I will also shout out @blind-the-winds for their encouragement about the Fangthane stuff. I'm glad you're enjoying all the dwarven worldbuilding I've had to do to explain the culture and politics of the setting and hope you're enjoying the Fangthane's Folly series (I will get back to that and A Circle None Can Break really soon, I promise).

Other shoutouts go to @ashirisu, @odysseywritings, @asher-orion-writes, @mariahwritesstuff, @freedominique and @thesorcerersapprentice for their support.

Hi! If you're still doing the ask pairing thingy, here's my submission! This is kind of a lot of stuff, so a quick apology for the Sheer Volume of Said Stuff, and let's get into it!

Do you love gargantuan Youtube video essays, and if so, which is your favorite and why?

Channeling the Idiotic Nerd Energy here, but hear me out:

Mathy video essays are my lifeblood. What can I say, rat brain craves sustenance. These are two of my favorites.

This is an hour-long essay on the continuity of splines, and Holy Shit. It tickles the few braincells I have left in the most wonderful ways... (Cool stuff!!)

https://youtu.be/jvPPXbo87ds

This one's a little shorter, but it explores the basis and applications of a different number system than the reals, known as "p-adic numbers." (Also cool stuff!!) Scratches the brain cell SO GOOD.

https://youtu.be/3gyHKCDq1YA

What song are you fixated on at the moment? What lyric or verse, and why?

И ты пытаешься снова дать очень дельный совет мне/Но я бы твоему рту предложил лучше скотч.

(Trans. You're trying again to give me such wise advice, but I'd offer that your mouth is better suited for scotch.)

The above lyrics are from 19 by ssshhhiiittt! (Fantastic song, though a little depressing). My russian is limited, but I Love this Song. This lyric, along with the rest of the verse, stands out to me because it captures the feeling of needing to change in some way, but nobody is giving that advice that you need; the advice that is pertinent.

Re: the Bois

As for the Bois™, I was never able to vibe with Asher or David (at least, not in a romantic sense.) Nothing against them, just not that into them. Platonically, I would forcibly befriend Lasko for nothing but "nefarious" reasons (DnD and hyperfixation talk).

Re: Eepy Talky Subjects

I get eepy and talk about either fountain pens or pretty dice. They bring so much joy to the rat brain. I could talk about fountain pen inks and bodies and makes and models until the universe dies, probably don't quote me on that though.

Tell me about that one book/movie/tv show you know all the words to.

I could probably recite most of Fantasy High or The Unsleeping City (both season 1) off memory. They're both part of Dimension 20, a live-play DnD show hosted on Dropout, and just, *chef's kiss*. Brennan Lee Mulligan (the GM) is a goddamned national treasure.

Other stuffs

Other than this, I'm just. A Guy. I'm studying to be a math teacher and I'm a type 5 on the Enneagram. I can tend to be a nervous wreck, and I also have Extreme Cool Guy Syndrome (my doctor says it's called ADHD.) So, ye! Have fun deciphering this trainwreck of an ask!!

Oh, we abso-fucking-lutely stan a couple in STEM. The nervous math teacher and the soft-spoken technician- you and Anton would be a great pair.

Type Five’s are characterized as inquisitive, innovative, and intellectual; it can be so fun to pair Fives with together because you’ll learn so much from each other and it’ll be flirting! Maybe even do the flirting in Russian, because that definitely was a factor in my complex, matchmaking algorithm.

Anton seems like the type who would love to listen and absorb, to pass the minutes hearing about the hyperfixation of the moment. Your students, math, dice sets- I don’t believe this man’s ever played a single session of a TTRPG in his life, but he’d try just because of the way your face lights up when you talk about it.

Song:

So, please, you must have faith in me/ There's no place, I'd rather be than home with you/ Where all is safe and warm/ But now I need to fight this storm

I’ve obviously got to plug my favorite Russian-singing boy. What can I say? Rybak is a dreamboat, and 5 to 7 can work really well for Anton missing you while he’s sequestered away at ETS. (Ignore the sad bit. Don’t listen to the third verse, or do! Maybe you’re an angst with a happy ending kind of babe.)

Runner-Ups:

Gavin, I like for you because I think he would be immensely charmed by the ADHD, nerd energy. Like with Lasko, there’d be so many teaching double entendres. Guy, I also like because he strikes me as a TTRPG kind of guy. He’d love actual play podcasts and series, and his chaotic energy would be great for improv if he actually played.

Note: oh my love you don’t need to tell me who Brennan Lee Mulligan is I worship and serve at the altar of Adventuring Academy 💌

Archival Art #3 Group Portrait

Today I pulled out the first drawing I had done from the archive that featured Aleksandr (Connor) and Cynthia (Melody). Around this time in our campaign, I was really starting to flesh out Ellis' background. Originally this campaign was supposed to just be a one-shot but it grew into so much more very quickly.

When I would share my drawings I would usually write up a little snippet to go with it. These would usually either be bits of dialogue from the scene that it was depicting or in this case Ellis' thoughts as she reminisced on the photos. This was still a bit early into me using markers but I had a good time making the photo look like it was distressed. Maybe it wasn't able to be preserved as well during her time in hiding? I think I also vaguely remember that I wasn't quite using the right paper so colors weren't blending as clearly. Unfortunately, that is the case for all of these picture series...

At the time I thought getting the picture made was silly… Connor convinced me, money wasn’t a thing to him and it would make Melody happy. “Why shouldn’t we celebrate?!,” she said, “We’re finally Wardens and together we’re gonna protect Doskvol!” … forever we’d said.

The outfits they were wearing were the uniform designs I had come up with for the Spirit Wardens. I remember I sat for a while at the time thinking of what color I wanted the stand out to be. I think I was floating between red, white, and green for the most part. As you can see I went with the red since I liked the more harsh vibe a red and black color scheme gave off. Having seen my latest seeker uniform designs you can see I kept the same color scheme. When initially coming up with this I was mostly thinking...

"What color is gonna make me freak out the most if the GM says I spot?"

Let me tell you that definitely was realized at a later point in the campaign. I do have a pic from that session and I can't wait to share that because the story of that one has my favorite moment and most genuine fear I've felt in a TTRPG.

[dungeonmalcontent]

This may be out there/the wrong place for this but am I the only one who takes issue with the concept of alignments? Like Lawful and Chaotic kinda make sense but aren't good and evil inherently subjective?

Don't be nervous about just shooting me an ask, especially a sincere one (it's better than people sending hate). Alignment is actually a thing I think about a lot and I love talking a out my opinions on it.

The short version is really a "yes, but".

Long answer, I think alignment is a well intentioned system. And, when players are skilled at roleplaying, it has a lot of good RP and mechanical potential.

But I think a lot of people that play fast and loose with the rules should probably abandon alignment mechanics. At least for players. The less you stick to the rules, the less the tangential rules like alignment matter. And if you don't want to have a complex moral story, it's advantageous not to think too much about alignment.

On the other hand, when you start a game, particularly a campaign, you should be doing a lot of collaborative planning (at least, in an ideal world). And part of that planning should include expectations for what constitutes good and evil. Are you talking the vague greatest good? Maybe good is preservation of life? Maybe good is the preservation of law. It is subjective.

And the subjectivity of good, and consequently evil, in fictional settings is hilarious when compared to lawful and chaotic. Because laws are incredibly subjective, but they're explicit. Breaking a law is something you usually know that you're doing, and keeping a law is sort of an expectation in any large society. Chaos, on the other hand, is the subversion of law and order.

I think the really complex, and potentially less identifiable alignment is neutrality. Is being neutral choosing either opposite a relatively even number of times? Or is it withholding your choices? Or maybe it's letting someone else make choices for you. Because all corners of the alignment chart are actually pretty subjective, living anywhere in the middle can be very difficult to do intentionally. Because what neutrality isn't is picking and choosing when to be chaotic and when to be lawful (or good or evil). Because picking is an active choice. Your choices show a preference, however slight, and I would say that an active preference disqualifies you from neutrality.

The one thing I really love to use alignment for, and particularly neutral alignments, is to show where a character stands on a particular issue. Because if you look at alignment on an issue by issue basis, it becomes a lot easier to get a feel for your character's sense of morality. And where neutrality shines is not in choice making, but in making up your mind. Because if you tend to believe one thing, but someone else could or has begun to change you mind, I would say you've shifted into a neutral stance. It's not "no stance" it's "no prevailing stance"-- conflict where you aren't sure what will win out.

And when you look at alignment by issue, you also see how alignment can be a lot more fluid than the rules make it out to be for most systems. Just because you write "lawful good" on your character sheet day 1 doesn't mean it's going to stay that way or that you won't make choices out of your alignment. Because, like I said with neutrality, any alignment represents a "prevailing" stance. It doesn't win every battle between options in your head, but it does win the war. Or if it starts losing the war, you don't try to drop RP and cling to your written alignment, you change the alignment.

But, like I said at the start, this isn't something you can expect from most players. Alignment's major impacts outside of RP guidance are niche. Certain spells and magical effects can detect certain alignments, and that's probably all you'll encounter. Most GMs won't go to the trouble of making a complex moral struggle based on your party alignments, or introduce more complex moral magic, because they aren't confident you'll stick to your alignment when the going gets tough; and so it isn't worth the effort.

The more you talk to your group, and especially your GM, to establish characters goals and moral standings on multiple issues though... And the more you RP seriously, the more likely your alignment will see use in game and the more likely you will be incentivized to portray your character in a true to form way.

[squishyputty]

Also, back to the original post, I'd like to add that, yes, Detect Magic exists. If you're a caster. Who can learn it. So to about half of player characters, no it doesn't. So there is no mechanic for them to interact with here. At least, not with how this situation was described. Now, befroe I go any further, I'd like to clarify that obviously Aracana can't be used to just... sense ambient magic. Not unless there's some kind of magical field that everyone can feel. I'd also like to say, I don't know if this is what you meant. It's entirely possible that it's not. But I think it's worth discussing what would or woul not be an acceptable thing to attempt.

Now then, with that out of the way, back to my point. the way this setup was worder, the player wasn't asking to sense, feel, or detect magic. They were asking to find magic. Which is a completely different idea.

The question "can I do an Arcana check to see if there's magic around" sounds, to me, like asking if the skill can be used to see magic. Runes, glyphs, magical particles, or such. Things that can be discerned by basic senses. Which is a perfectly reasonable request, actually, because different GMs will probably have different answers. Granted, the better way of handling it would be to say "I look around to see if I can find anything magical," or to ask "what skill could it be to find signs of magical effects," or something else like that. But honestly, wouldn't some people still respond with "no, you need to cast detect magic for that"? And if you do make detect magic the only way of finding magic, in any form, ever, then you're just preventing martials (and casters who don't learn detect magic) from interacting with a significant portion of the world. And maritals are already locked out of enough interactions as things stand. There's no need to make it worse for them without a really good reason.

One last thing I'd like to add. Questions phrased as "can I do X check" could, as the reply before me pointed out, be a response because you know that's the correct skill for the action you're describing. But I think it could also be because you're trying to get a better understanding of what can and cannot be done with skills. In fact, the original post here is a great example of this! Since they wouldn't have been allowed to do it because that's not a thing you can do with a skill check, it doesn't really matter whether they said "I do X" or "can I make an X check," because both would have resulted in them being told that no, actually, they can't do that. But if you're unsure whether or not it's an option, it's a whole lot less awkward to ask if you can than it is to simply state what you do. Though that's really more of a problem from D&D not having super clear guidelines on what each skill can and cannot do. Anyway, this is already longer than I intended, so while I'd love to go on about clarity of what can be done with a given skill, I think I'll leave it here.

No, you can't "do an Arcana check" to see if there's magic around. There's an actual way in the rules to see if magic is afoot, it's called the detect magic spell.

Also, ask me if you can do any kind of check again and I will bite your head off in real life.

Werewolves of Quesadilla Island AU: Base game roles

Thief:

Moving discreetly at night, the Thief strikes and steals all your possessions, leaving nothing behind... and changing his identity just to be sure. On the first night, the Thief will be called at the start of it. They will be presented with two cards, and pick one. This card becomes the role of the Thief for the rest of the game.

->

‌Cupid: Richarlyson

There is a god hidden amongst men in the village... a very mischievous one, who can decide who loves who. On the first night, Cupid is called before the other roles, and picks two players who will become lovers. Then, they become a simple villager. Cupid can pick themself.

-> I mean. He's the shipper. Trying to get people together. Also Cupid is often represented as a child

‌Lovers: Celbit and Roier

After Cupid's arrow hit, the Lovers became unable to accept the other suffering. They will die for their love... and they will very much kill too. The lovers are their own team in the game: after Cupid chose them, they are asked to open their eyes and identify each other. From now on, their objective is to both end up alive by the end of the game. If they're in the same team, then they just need their team to win, but if one is villager and the other werewolf, then they'll have to be the last two standing (i actually was in a game where that happened once, it was very impressive). If one of the lovers dies, the other dies two (it's very often their fate). This role stacks with the players' other role!

-> First married couple on the island (besides Federation assigned husbands), murder husbands, if I recall they even got together thanks to Richas

‌Fortune teller:

In the night, she looks into her crystal ball to see many things; the future, the past... and the secrets. At night, the Fortune Teller has the opportunity to pick one player and see their card, which is pretty op as long as you don't get caught by the wolves

->

‌Witch:

Owning a mysterious knowledge of potion making, this lady can save your life as well as end it. After the Wolves ate, the Witch is called, and the GM shows them the victim. The Witch can then choose to save the victim's life, kill a second person, or do nothing. There is only one potion of each, so they must be careful when to use it! And yes, the Witch can use their life potion on themself.

->

‌Little Girl:

This young girl reached the scary period that is teenagehood... which implies disobeying her parents and sneaking out at night. But she must be careful of what she sees, as it can very well see her back... and it's very hungry. When the Werewolves are awake, the Little Girl can try to spy on them. They cannot pretend to be a wolf, so they must be very sneaky!

->

‌Hunter: Cellbit

Always with his rifle, the Hunter is used to get food for the village and get rid of predators. And he won't go down without a fight. When the Hunter dies, by wolves or village vote, they pick someone else to kill before their death. If they're good, they may hit a wolf!

-> Mostly thinking about it thanks to him killing fed workers to get at the Federation. He was hunting them, but as it's been said, it's possible his victims were innocent. It fits with the Hunter who may either harm the ennemy or kill someone who didn't deserve it. I'd be willing to reconsider if another role fits, because I think the Rebellion could work too

TGIWednesday: Hot tub madness

TGIWednesday News

If I didn’t visit LA Fitness every day and work out, I am not sure what would happen but it would not be pretty.  I like to eat and some might consider my “profession” a bit stressful hearing life and death daily and making every effort to provide relief, comfort guidance and direction.  The other day the hot tub was tepid and not heated.  I approached the front desk at the gym and told them about it.  The kid standing there said, “We don’t have an Operations Manager.” I looked around to make sure I was still on planet earth after he had a tangent answer to an unasked question.  “Not sure if you guys have gone GM corporate or what, but how about you give me a sticky note and a pen and I’ll leave a note for the pool repair / cleaning guys on the service door near the hot tub?”  He gave me a shocked look like he would have never thought to be that proactive.  Of course I wrote the note and posted it near the handle of the pool service door and yet a month later, the hot tub is still cold.  Today I am seeing you as remaining on course, asking and answering direct questions with substance and guidance from Spirit.  You’ll be on point, grounded and even make sense to others!  Infinite blessings as you read this now.

Let’s pray for peace in the middle east and in Ukraine and there is more than enough money, food and water to go around to those in need; that any and all pandemics are resolved as fast as they started with natural remedies and in wonder and amazement to all; that worldwide inflation and the threat of lack is dispelled and we all return to some form of normalcy, grounding and balance   You get the idea!  Make it all about blessing others and after this Zoom event you will notice that you received blessings when you least expected and in a wonderful, mystical, magical way!
