it has come to my attention during this whole chaeyoung thing that many people do not know what the swastika is, and just how serious the Holocaust was to the world and to history. because of this I made thread on my Twitter giving the bare basics of the Holocaust, who the naz! Party were, and what happened during it. if you’d like, please go read it here < thread >

Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.

I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.

I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.

It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.

Bro I've been on Twitter for TWO MONTHS, made 21 POSTS, and I got 77 followers this is genuinely so fucking terrifying where did they all come from that's so many people who know my art now

[tchutomu]

so.

Well. As you can probably tell, I lied. I did have chapter 2 for Inkubus “mostly written”, but then I decided to go with a different idea for chapter 2 so I’ve been writing new stuff. This will hopefully be done by the end of the weekend (it’s Saturday night at time of posting), but I’m gonna err on the side of procrastination and give it until next weekend.

In case you were wondering, “old” ch2 was going to be a few months jump forward. “New” ch2 is pretty much a direct continuation. I’ll prob bump the old forward and add a ch3 to this, because there are some lines I like. And it should see the light of day.

weird thing about me is that I am so serious about new year's resolutions that the last week of december feels like I'm in one of those "preparing for war" montages (but in a good way)

[fatmaclover]

Last year I attempted kinktober for the very first time and I'm ngl, it kicked my ass. I stopped halfway through the month because my fics kept shrinking until they were literally just a paragraph long. I'm gonna try again this year though. Other than the fact that forcing myself to write every day was pure torture, it was fun to see what concepts I would come up with on short notice.

slowly getting my FUA team ready... only one beautiful gambler left to replace Gallagher so he can go back to his Superbreak team in peace

damn i didn't know people hated the yorukura finale i thought it was cute as hell and it made me happy

[andromedasummer]

you know what i would love to be an option in bg3? making your own party member. like Icewind Dale style. choose their class, voice, appearance and travel with them. obvs i understand why they didnt, but it wouldve been so fun to have the option to make your own member, esp if they could be incorporated into your backstory. a sibling, parent, spouse, adventuring buddy, best friend.

[maren-warlock]

thank you, everyone, for liking my art, even if I rarely ever posted it. I know I rarely ever interacted with the community, but when I did, it was always nice. I don't think I'll be staying away from FR forever, but I'm going to need time to emotionally recover. I spent nearly 4 years here and now it's all gone, just because I broke a rule when I was 15.

you can go ahead and unfollow this blog now, I won't be posting here anymore. And if I ever come back to FR tumblr, it'll be with a new blog

Maybe one day I’ll return but definitely Not Today
