The truth will set you free.. Or so they say. I cannot wait to be emotionally trampled guys. I haven’t watched the newest episode but I saw these screenshots and I am like “yes. Yes I am gonna cry over a frog and his future divorce.”

How horrifying it is to realize that your love of someone is the only thing keeping them human, and that if you waver in that love even a little bit they will slowly and grotesquely turn back into a frog. And the futility of trying to keep loving them if only to keep someone from such a terrible fate, but the very attempts to force such a love weaken any bonds that once existed (not to mention he’s not helping things by putting all of the executive work of both the relationship and RUNNING A COUNTRY on your shoulders).

So perhaps, you decide, it’s better to leave and fall out of love entirely, and end their slow, torturous transformation, only to realize that that is also not a fate so freely given either. If you could just not love him, then some other girl, one with less weight on her shoulders, could fall for him instead. In all likelihood he’d be happier with someone less burdened by more ‘serious matters’ as you are. But that doesn’t work either, because you remember that part of him that made you fall in love in the first place, and so the trap is set. Not loved enough to remain human, not hated enough to restart the cycle. Just, half-formed, grotesque, not quite a husband not quite a frog. Fuck me.

I'm only on the 3rd episode of D20 Neverafter and DAMN. Shit! is!! fucked!!!!!

[thedragonagelesbian]

im obsessed with the neverafter party composition btw. no cleric. no druid. relying on a BARD and a RANGER for healing...... so many class choices that lean support & utility (ranger, bard, rogue) and we don’t have anyone’s subclasses yet, which could push the fighter and even barb in that direction depending on which subclass murph and emily pick, and the things lou could do with the modularity of the warlock class........... AHHH i hope they all make it to level 3

[paledeep]

emotionally ruined over gerald and elody i love them dearly i want more of their complex relationship i need a side series of their ten plus years of bonding and then marriage

[theteaisaddictive]

i finished cleopatra and frankenstein. and in completely unrelated news, i have started scribbling away at the google doc titled 'MOUNTAIN GOATS NO CHILDREN DOT MP3'

[hi-iamjaysohn-iamsmall]

I wonder if Princess Elody put the frog curse on Gerald and is slowly putting the curse back on him cause she’s lowkey pissed at him

[bl00died-teeth]

I just finished watching fantasy high s2 , the episodes on youtube I mean and I'm sad that I cant watch the rest

I NEED TO KNOW what happens

but also I cant pay for dropout so I guess I'll be in purgatory forever?

[solsticethebatearedfox]

ayo guys i caught another one! successfully dragged another friend/irl mutual (hi! love you!) into D20! autism powers ig? she's watching neverafter and already likes Gerald. I hope she enjoys neverafter as a whole, I think it's right up her alley.

anyways I love love love how badly Gerald’s pep talk to Ylfa went. Because it forces him to confront that his actions, his words, don’t exist in a vacuum. His own constant insults to his “monstrous” appearance and bemoaning how he looks, is also an insult to his other “monstrous” friends. His friends who this is significantly less “temporary” for. And it’s great to see him have to confront that in the form of a young girl who has internalized these ideas of beauty and ugly from people like Gerald. And like it or not, her self doubt is partly his fault, because he hates himself for being how he is, and he can’t say anything back when Red brings that up.

Neverafter AU were everything is the same but Gerald turns into Kermit the frog

[thedelolos]

I’m gonna try to narrow down the future subclasses for the neverafter party because I am unhinged and I really like the season so far (I also have way too much of my brain devoted to dnd subclasses)

I’m thinking that Gerald might be end up battlemaster? Given he’s studying various forms like how a battlemaster has maneuvers. Could be something else too but this seems the most likely.

Rosamund, we’ve seen the way the briars and plants react to her (and she was blessed by fairies), so fey wanderer could be an option. I could also see her being a swarm keeper, but her swarm is reskinned as briars which would be cool as hell (gathered swarm does piercing damage anyway).

Pib is probably mastermind (because cats just are masterminds I don’t know how else to put it) or inquisitive. I think either would be good, mastermind is more likely though because we already see him deceiving people expertly. However he is a very clever cat, and has a way of seeing things that others don’t which goes more inquisitive.

Timothy is a bit harder to read because I’m not sure if the book will influence his magic as he levels? if the book comes more into play I think college of spirits would be dope, especially because it’s about telling stories, (and guiding whispers feels in line with with Timothy as a character). The book would be a cool spiritual focus. If not, lore.

Ylfa is toss up between berserker and beast for me, beast fits thematically but mechanically there is already some overlap with her shifter features, so she would probably get more out of the berserker features (although call the hunt would be so cool). It all depends on where the rage comes from.

Pinocchio is hard to place because while we know that the stepmother is his patron we don’t really know what she is. However, given the information from episode two, I would like to propose the undying patron for a couple reasons. 1. It seems like this is the step-mother from multiple tales (the stepmothers of Cinderella and Snow White) and now she’s Pinocchio’s stepmother so she’s been around awhile. 2. The yet to be explained cannibalism could be some sort of life sustaining thing? Not to mention that Pinocchio is technically an undying being as a wooden boy. I could also see great old one reskin because the stepmother’s kinda this mythic being with her own thing going on, but if Pinocchio had awakened mind I think it would have come up already.

Anywho that’s the vibe I’m picking up based on official subclasses for this party, can’t wait to see what episode three brings.

NeverAfter Prediction!

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 2

With the way that Nat King Cole was sucked into the book, with his picture showing up again to dance with Jack in a happier world I had a thought. What if, at the end of everything, the whole point is for the characters to understand that the magical world they live in is a lost cause and it’s better to abandon ship.

Using the book they all rewrite their stories to give themselves the ending that they think will make them happy. This will probably come at the end of a very traumatizing campaign where it will be given as a kindness, as if to say, “you’ve been fighting for a world that doesn’t care for long enough.” Then the characters will be able to go live in a world of their choosing. Little red was actually rescued by the huntsman and her grandmother was able to be saved. Gerald’s wife never fell out of love and he never became neglectful, Pib was never caught and he loved the life of a king, Rosalind was kissed by her one true love and they lived happily ever after, and Pinocchio has a healthy father who loves him and forgives him.

The only person who doesn’t get a happy ending is the only one who we don’t have a real story for. Mother Timothy Goose never gets back to his son, and he spends all his days writing down the stories of those around him so they can have the leave he never found.

This is where we get the sanitized and happily ever after versions of fairytales that are told today.

Just a thought, probably wrong but I wanted to at least get it down

Also I think it would be hilarious if the trend of same name same person continued to the max to Rosalinda prince is just some couch frat prince who can’t do anything and has a really creepy thing for sleeping women

Love love love Prince Gerald. He sucks so bad. He's speedrunning divorce papers. He's also a frog
