[probablybadrpgideas]

An autistic person who is actually really charismatic and charming to spirits because, unlike with human social interactions, all of the rules are clearly laid out.

Robot-girl who was "rescued" (stolen) from the military and is trying to adjust to a normal lifestyle, but still uses military speak sometimes (e.g referring to building exits as "extraction points", referring to time using "XY00 hours" thing, calling every vehicle a "transport") and also her original creators are tracking her down so they can factory-reset her. And also the person who rescued her is also her girlfriend now and their adventures take them to lots of really beautiful locations where they can do standard romantic-montage stuff.

You pilot a Lich. You swear you used to pilot something else but everyone else tells you you've always piloted a Lich.

One time you checked your license timeline. Surely your old frame should still be recorded there, along with the date you gained your Lich license. You've had a Lich license for longer than the city of Rome existed.

Your NHP also remembers. She's pretty sure she used to be good at targeting missiles, not disrupting the flow of time. But you're pretty sure your old mech didn't even have an NHP. Did your Lich always have one? You're not sure. She says she's known you since childhood. You're pretty sure you weren't a pilot until you were an adult but who even knows at this point.

Do you even remember a time before piloting? Are you even sure you weren't always piloting?

A wizard that uses fresh mozzarella for his pondering orb. He wakes up every morning to make a new batch of mozzarella and when he splits it open to eat it, he divines the future from the shapes he sees within the cheese.

The pizzas he makes with these cheeses can give visions of the future, but mostly it just helps people guess the flavor of ice cream planned for dessert.

Schadenfruede

Here is an emotion called Schadenfreude, an emotion that's described as feeling enjoyment after seeing someone's misfortune! Schadenfreude might sound mischivious and cruel, but he's just a giant goofball who has no sense of social ethics LOL!

new trope idea: Innocent/naive character who is notoriously trusting of people who's trust gets broken and is hurt so many times that they're no longer very trusting but they pretend to be so they don't put their friends through the pain of seeing them change

SO, I made my own tragic legendary sea cookie since that seems to be the theme for devsis in between comms-

Beneath the dark, forgotten waves of the west sea, amongst a once bustling and colorful coral forest is it's sleepy monarch; Grand Reef Cookie. A jolly, yet strangely complaisant individual who spends his frail, doddering years tending to the decaying remains of his children's once proud homeland.

They have all left, of course. Some more hesitant than others to leave their loving father's side. But, Grand Reef Cookie was insistent of their retreat. That, unlike him, they were not bound to their namesake in soul and body. That the ocean held much more plentiful and vibrant sights that were not to be wasted fretting over a forgotten relic of the past. That doesn't stop many from visiting though... Bringing with them trinkets and offerings to help alleviate his wistful loneliness.

But, unlike some of his children, Grand Reef doesn't harbor any resentment for cookies. It's just not in his nature to harbor any hatred for... Well, anything, really. A reef is meant to be a nurturing and peaceful place for even the most ruthless apex predator, to be unwelcoming and unkind to even one creature would go against his very nature. ________

Why be a betrayed and/or volatile tragic, when you can be a sweet, hospice patient kind of tragic? That, and sea pollution and global warming tragic, I mean it's right there-

Superheroine Idea: A heroine whose powers are seasonal

Plant powers in spring

Fire powers in summer

Wind powers in fall

Ice powers in winter

But! Her moral alignment also changes. She's a classic hero in spring, an anti-hero in summer, a morally ambigious character in fall, and a straight-up villain in winter.

She often has to start every spring undoing the damage she'd done in the previous winter.

Her given name would be Demeter, and her alter-ego would change with the seasons, too.

Spring Cleaner

Summer Soldier

Fall Fouler

Winter Breaker

A party made up entirely of regular, people-in-makeup type clowns, whose quest is to defeat a stereotypical IT-style monster clown because it's ruining the normal clown's reputation and business.

Bad DnD character idea:

A green-furred bugbear thief rogue who really, really hates his neighbors because every winter they make a shit ton of noise. So he devises a plan to steal all of their stuff by dressing up as a mythical gift bringing man, but instead he takes. Also has a dog, and he lives on a mountain.

Hello! If it’s not too much trouble, would you be willing to discuss how to describe a character with nonhuman features? Such as wings, specifically? Thank you!

Prompts for Describing a Character with Wings

-> @she-who-fights-and-writes made an in-depth post about writing a character with wings with many helpful tips to remember while writing. They also include a list of vocabulary to describe the movement of wings based on the character's emotions. Their post can be found Here.

-> @kedreeva made a post regarding the science behind a character having wings, including anatomy of the wings themselves and the feathers. They also dive into info about preening, molting, nesting, etc. That post can be found Here.

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

He was a handsome guy with sharp features, but she couldn't keep her eyes off of his wings. They sprouted from his back like two extra limbs that he could control at will, with long, silky black feathers like a raven.

The feathers of her wings flared when she was angry, making her appear bigger than she was.

They had wings like a hummingbird that fluttered just as fast as his heart when he saw them.

He hated his wings sometimes. They were big and bulky and never useful to him when he was on the ground. He groaned as he bent to pick up the things his wings had managed to knock off the shelf, only to have them swipe a few more items from the counter and onto the floor.

Her wings were neatly folded behind her back, tucked close. At a sudden noise behind her, she jolted, her wings shooting out to display her full wingspan. Her heart pounded in her chest, her feathers twitching as she searched for the source of the noise.

The wings on their back gently shifted, hovering over her head to shield her from the rain.

His wings stretched out to their full wingspan as a last minute attempt to keep himself from falling.

She felt free when she was in the air, her wings finally able to stretch out to their full potential. She felt so trapped on the ground sometimes, forced to keep them folded so they don't get in the way.

God, he thought they were beautiful. They were an angel, had to be. An angel blessed with the prettiest wings he had ever seen on a person, sprouting gently from their back like a waterfall of feathers.

Mono no aware

Here is an obscure emotion that took me a few days to understand but Mono no aware is a Japanese idiom that describes the feeling of bittersweet and a deep appreciation for the impermanence of life. it can be translated as "the pathos of things."

If this is confusing, it's the feeling of nostalgia but instead of longing for the past, Mono no aware longs for the present moments. The moments where life and time becomes still as you appreciate the beautiful sensation of euphoria, however you're sadden that the sensation won't last for long.

If this is still confusing. One prime example is in studio ghibli's Spirited Away, where Chihiro sits on the train in solitude as she stares off in longing. The scene captures this stillness and poignant feeling where it feels like the story has taken a pause. It's the quiet moment where you finally enjoy the silence after going through hardship, where you reflect and appreciate what was lost and what has changed.🌸🩷🌿
