Until we meet again.

to the person earlier who went off angry about how evan is treated like the main character in mismag, listen that's a flaw of the show not the fandom. Brennan spends sooooooo much time in that season both talking about his own character and making his curse THE Big Fucking Deal of the season. Then Erika enables it by having their character constantly talk about how hot and tortured he is.

Honestly my one critique there is that Aabria as the DM should have never let Brennan have a storyline that made him the Harry Potter insert for the series if the focus of the campaign was supposed to be the group. As a DM, if one of my PCs got that off balance with stealing the spotlight I would talk to them and find ways to pull other characters into the fold more so they don't get sidelined like especially Danielle was that season.

I think we watched different mismags, pretty sure it was the other players focusing on Evan, Brennan was just dm describing his character. Evan was Leiland from Bloodkeep if he actually could succeed on rolls in that way.

I'd also like to say, certain sidequests (Tiny Heist, Mice & Murder) are based around stories where there is a main character. Some one has to be the Danny Ocean, the Sherlock Holmes, and in the case of Mismag, the Dark Lord. Brennan has mentioned previous to Mismag that on the rare opportunities he gets to be a player character, he asks the dm what he could do to best serve the narrative. Assuming he did that here as well, it's likely that Aabria wanted someone to play a Dark Lord archetype, and given no one else did that, Brennan stepped up to plate.

But I don't think Aabria, like, ignored the other pcs, both K and Sam had huge narrative control during certain sections of the story, and Whitney was basically team leader the whole campaign.

The fandom is absolutely the problem here, outside of confessions, no one ever talks about that last paragraph. This fandom has hella blorbofied Evan to the detriment of every other pc.

What if we talked more about this

What if we honed in and analysed and really focused on this

i hate drawing armor so i decided to forgo clothes all together

[rabdoidal]

anyway i rewatched bloodkeep again and im thinking about them (the platonic co-parents of darkness)

😈 kofi link in bio if you’re feeling generous 😈

[auteurdefeu]

If this was established years ago, why has no one posted fics of it 😔

(I’m on my Bloodkeep rewatch and that duo means the world to me, I desperately need someone to talk to about it)

[skeletonthecreator]

im literally like so ill about leiland escape from the blood keep its insane. something about never being needed by the people in your life as much as you need them. something about never knowing how much you are actually worth because no one has ever told you. something about being an absolutely gay disaster in a 100s year long one sided relationship where you gave everything and he gave Nothing. something about learning to start healing and realizing you deserve better with the help of your friends. and something about being all of these things and also being an evil king of the undead who commits war crimes. i love him.

it's a shame we have to pit them against each other, because I'd love to see them get together over mimosas and bitch about Titania and Zaul'nazh.

note that this is not the place to vote for Rowan Berry; she has her own poll coming up later in the round! do not let your feelings about Rowan influence this vote!

i finished escape from the bloodkeep awhile ago and started these sketches but never finished them so here they are !

matt as a dm: lawful neutral . plunges the players into the fantasy world and makes everything as 1000% immersive as humanly possible. long flowery descriptions and vivid imagery

matt as a player: im going to play a queer man that so desperately needs to go to therapy

i know bloodkeep isn't that popular and this would ultimately not be worth it for them but if dropout decided to make a plush of J'er'em'ih I'd buy it in an instant (i finished bloodkeep two days ago and i haven't stop thinking of J'er'em'ih)

once again breaking my silence to say please if there is any power listening to me, make this real, every single bloodkeep player has become some sort of dropout regular, bring back some bloodkeep love

[the-znoze]

got skullkisses brainrot

[yuripira4e]

Necrotic spells are gay as hell. Like why are you, as a man, fingering another man to death

[auteurdefeu]

I know Bloodkeep is old news but hear me out

Trans Leiland who didn’t even really stand a chance for the throne as he’d been born a girl, and one of the very very few good things Zaul’Nazh has ever done was give him a masculine body in rising him to undeath, creating him sort of in his own image. I’m sure there was some selfish fucked up reasoning behind why he would have done so but Leiland would’ve seen it as an act of kindness, and devoted himself fully to his ‘savior’. Yada yada you know how it goes, Z would’ve been very gross about ogling Leiland and this poor knight would’ve been completely unaware and blind to all his bad deeds because he was hopelessly in love.

But anyway I’m transmasc so I think he should be too because those are the rules. Thoughts?
