Another from @incorrect-dnd-classes of a classic with some dialog tweaks.

Paladin: You kidnapped the king? That's illegal.

Warlock: But what's more illegal; briefly inconveniencing a king or going against the will of the party?

Paladin: Kidnapping the king, Warlock.

Bard: Paladin, listen. Whatever I may think of you right now, these people are counting on you to inspire them.

Paladin: To kidnap people?

Bard: To work together!

Paladin: To kidnap people???

Rogue: If it helps, Paladin, we already decided that a royal is not 'a people'-

Paladin: It does not!

no one even goes here but my ffxiv brainrot is interacting with my tcsm brainrot again. anyway leland would be a paladin as always, who at some point gets the thancred treatment from making some kind of sacrifice and thus losing his ability to channel aether/be a true paladin. but i also think bc of that his ability to channel dynamis, or pure energy influenced by strong emotion, would be greater, and the new source of his magic. i was reading about how sometimes limit breaks can be considered a massive expulsion of dynamis energy in some cases. tank limit breaks are used to shield your party from damage so i can definitely see leland’s limit break being a strong burst of emotion that way.

i love the utility of wizards learning Any Spell but i think i might run a sorcadin for my honor mode runs, maybe also a sorcerer wizard with just 2 custom characters at the same time. power couple or something

One thing you must know about me is that I will skip 5-6 steps of boss progression to fight Slime God as early as I can and I do not plan on changing.

do you have any queer characters? wondering out of curiosity

Thanks for the ask! I have a number of characters who could be seen as falling under the queer umbrella, but who don't identify with the term personally. One character of mine, Imogen, experiences severe gender dysphoria but identifies as a cisgender girl, another character I have named Pal is technically aroace but doesn't concern himself with any terms for his experience, and yet another character of mine named Idris doesn't feel connected to his biological sex or any idea of gender, yet doesn't feel like identifying as agender. Their experiences are all a reflection of my own, and are influenced by my faith.

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which believes that marriage is to be employed between a man and a woman, and that one’s biological sex is a key part of their eternal identity. Another big part of the church’s doctrine is one’s divine right to choose for themself how they're going to live, and I'm a firm believer in it. So while I might not have characters who identify with the queer label, and don't necessarily agree with the term myself (EDIT: I misspoke at this bit, and you can read me correcting myself here), I've got a testimony of respecting the ways other people live their lives and believe in their own beliefs.

If you personally are queer, you have a divine right to live life as a queer-identified individual! Just like I have the right to not identify with the label despite falling under the queer umbrella myself. I respect your identity and I hope you respect mine. We're all people who want to be happy and healthy in our own lives as well as see our loved ones thrive, and we deserve to choose for ourselves how we will seek that happiness, as well as have our choices be honored.

(If you're not comfy with following me having read the stuff I've said here, don't feel guilty about unfollowing! Protect yourself and your emotional health. I know that for a lot of people, members of my church acting in un-Christlike ways (to say the least) have been damaging for them. I can say I'll never act in a knowingly unkind way to someone and am open to being corrected, but I know it's still very hard for some of the people who have gone through awful things to interact with church members. So please don't feel shy about unfollowing! You deserve to have peace of mind!)

Do you think Shiro will ever meet the Funky Guys?? What would their reaction towards each other would be?

oh, they definetly meet eachother! i have a few ideas on how this happens(some more serious than others), but it definetly happens after the war is over(im not sure how excatly stuff goes down but galra lost and allura lives... and haggar is alive too cause Buddy and the others deserve to yell at her)

first im gonna quickly explain how they get off that planet: so basically Eenek(the galran kid)'s parent(dad?) thought they died in a "terrible accident" years ago, but after the war ended he went there in hopes he'll recover the body. he WAS NOT expecting to find his child alive and taken care of by a bunch of strange people who look susiciously like that black paladin guy.... but he agrees to take them all out of here and lets them live on his ship!(im skipping over so much stuff here) he knows who they are and doesnt give a shit cause they saved Eenek.

when Shiro and The Guys meet, theyve been living a relatively normal life for like a year or two already, hiding their origins and trying to assimilate into society. theyre doing great! ....... shiro isnt.

he feels out of place, hes been trough hell and really didnt expect to live trough it all, but he did and he has a long life ahead of him, so he should be happy, right? everyone else is moving on, his friends all have someone to lean on, but adam's dead and we never see shiros family(maybe they appear in the last two seasons? i havent watched them), so hes alone. hes stuck in the past, hes stuck as The Black Paladin Of Voltron, but no one needs voltron anymore except for parades and signing autographs.

and then, somehow, shiro meets these other versions of him, and they all moved on and made a new life for themselves..... he envies them, but he also wants to learn how they did it. he knows theyre not really him, and hes happy for them, he really is, they achieved something he cant - but its definetly bittersweet.

they all react diffrently to meeting shiro(oh god this is gonna be so long)

tashi feels like hes not living up to shiros greatness. he saved the universe, for fucks sake! if they have the same genes, then why cant he be such a good leader? what is wrong with him? is he broken?(he isnt!!! hes just fucking stupid sometimes) but he also sees how much shiro struggles and wants to help(maybe he sees him as family?)..... even if its awkward

soup knows exactly what shit shiro's been trough and she has a lot of respect for him. she treats him a bit like an old friend. shiro was a bit weary of her at first beacuse she can be very menacing, but its really comforting to both of them to finally have someone whos been trough the same hell. and of course she showed him her rock collection

buddy wants to hate shiro. he(they? ive been playing w/ the idea of buddy using they/he) spent years distancing themself from voltron as a whole and painstakingly building a new life, and now the manifestation of their past is just standing there- buddy doesnt really see shiro as a person(oh, the irony), just as a ghost, a shadow of what they used to be, and it feels awful.

i havent really talked about pal(placeholder name why is naming characters so hard) yet but he i think he feels similiar to both soup and buddy, since he remembers a lot from his time with the galra but also was an early 'prototype', so seeing the thing he was supposed to be makes him uneasy. hes overall shy and nervous so i think in the beggining he just silently stared at shiro for a really long time.

the fact taks(placeholder name, goddamnit) is trans makes her very uncomfortable with shiro. hes nice and friendly, especially to her and the other kids(taka, eenek and to a lesser extent pal, who is a lot younger than the other adults), but he is who she thought she was for a while(like buddy!) and its not great for her gender dysphoria. also, seeing someone so similiar to her family and yet so other doesnt help

taka(placeholder name-) grew up listening to buddys stories about voltron and he heavily idolises shiro. for him being a clone is cool - who wouldnt want to be related to the great Takashi Shirogane? shiro sees this 11 year old kid who has his whole life ahead of him and it reminds him why he became a paladin in the first place - so kids like taka will have happier lives, so they dont have to go trough what he had to. i think its safe to say taka aquired a cool new uncle that day

jesus fuck this was a lot, and im pretty sure theres more somewhere in my brain, but thats enough for now

thanks for the ask! you really opened pandora's box with this one!

Shout-out to Trials of Mana btw. I used all 3 characters opposite of my dad's save file, ended up with Tragic Rogue as my mc (Hawkeye), and a tiny jester elf as my healer (Charlotte) and himbo fighter (Kevin) as my companions. Literally Hawkeye is the only one taking anything seriously, and Kevin and Charlotte are just along for the ride. I love them dearly.
