Aevilux lore drop for the girlies

[mareastrorum]

Dariax: -in magical darkness- Wait, so it's just dark? Dorian: Yeah, it's just dark. You're not physically blind. Dariax: Oh, great! So my body is okay! :D Dorian: Your body is okay! :D Opal: -38 points of force and necrotic damage to Dariax- Dariax: I'M NOT OKAY!

In honour of the Crown Keepers returning - here’s Opal.

[synthellasart]

And today we got the prompt Crown :D So have an Opal! :D

[lordsalemander]

Revisited the cooldown episode for c3e93 and for my own personal wellbeing I am choosing to believe that Laura also sees the Opal-Imogen connection.

Like just look at this reaction to confirmation that Opal is also gonna be fighting Predathos:

Like you cannot tell me this news hasn’t opened something up to her. She is totally planning. She sees the story enhancing potential I just know it.

CR give me either:

1. Laura talking about/acknowledging the similarities between Opal and Imogen (stuff I’ve discussed in my last post) and/or talking about their potential dynamic on like a 4-sided dive or at a panel/convention

OR

2. Opal and Imogen meeting in campaign 3 and having a discussion/moment(s) with just the two of them. Where they can actually connect/bond over these similarities and maybe even help each other.

Actually I lied I want both. And I would do anything to get even just a single mention from ANY of the cast on this.

Signed,

The most passionate Imogen-Opal friendship truther

[spyskater]

All I'm saying is, the fandom needs to acknowledge Dariax/Opal, because Matt is totally playing this love story. Dariax is absolutely in love with Opal. Dorian's worst fear was the corruption of the whole group. Dariax's worst fear was losing Opal completely. All he wants to do is protect her and follow her to the ends of the earth. If that's not a ship, I dunno what is.

I have so many thoughts about ✨her✨

[critter-genfic-events]

This week, we have ten fics that focus on dreams. Pleasant dreams, prophetic dreams, and quite a few nightmares - not to mention the Dream Spell - are mentioned here! Check them out under the cut!

Burden of Guilt by popsicletheduck (2714,Teen) Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Pairings:

Percy's made some mistakes in his life, alright? He knows this. It'd be nice if his subconscious stopped bringing it up.

Reccer says: Percy makes a great whump subject

Dreaming Down Deep by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink) (4478,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

What if Caduceus met Fjord's patron and was just both mildly clueless and very polite about the whole thing?

Reccer says: Galaxy brain concept and wonderful delivery - Ukotoa's tricks just do not work on Caduceus, but Fjord's angst in the second chapter is delicious

and we still had hours by poppyseedheart (13995,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

In his own dreams, Caleb's back is usually ramrod straight the way it was in his youth. In his waking hours, his beggar’s hunch is practiced, intentional. Whatever he’s doing now, all neutral spine and open hands, is something different altogether.

Reccer says: Well characterized all around and amazing

she dreams of chromatic dragons by mavnificent (791,General) Warnings: Pairings:

Cali dreams of chromatic dragons and they aren’t always vicious or greedy the way they’re supposed to be. That’s how she knows she's dreaming.

Reccer says: There really should be more Calianna fics in the world, but this is a great one that takes into her Cult Deprogramming

A Nice Dream for Yasha by FeralScribe (4262,General) Warnings: Major Canonical Character Death Pairings: Mollymauk Tealeaf & Yasha

A dear friend makes sure that Yasha's dreams take her somewhere pleasant for once. The problem arises when Yasha doesn't want to leave.

Reccer says: I love Yasha and Molly's friendship and this is so painful

may your princes understand you (may your wolves get out alive) by grayintogreen (6427,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

An archfey traps Jester in a dream world. Artagan and an unlikely ally rescue her.

Reccer says: I liked it

However Long Forever's Gonna Last by elissastillstands (15557,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

Opal begins having dreams about Zerxus as she and the Crownkeepers continue their journey.

Reccer says: A beautiful story that fits perfectly into canon as a canon divergent fic. It makes you wish and hope for a better ending for Opal and Zerxus.

a god awful shitty feeling of dread in my heart by pigflight (2106,General) Warnings: None Pairings: Delilah Briarwood & Imogen Temult

In which holding hands with Laudna brings someone into Imogen's dream, even if it isn't the someone she was hoping for.

Reccer says: Imogen and Delilah and Imogen is able to go off? Yes please. A wonderfully threatening Delilah, too

What Grows From The Heart Is All The Stronger by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink) (1340,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Fearne Calloway & Orym

All seeds need good soil in which to grow.

Reccer says: I liked it

The Heart External by BeatriceEagle (103670,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Beau & Caleb, Beau and Bren, Caleb and Bren, Beau and OMC, Caleb and OMC; background Beau/Yasha and Caleb/Essek

Six months ago, Beau adopted a teenager who loves the Cobalt Soul, but can't stand her. Ten minutes ago, Caleb accidentally summoned his own teenage self into his living room.

Reccer says: There's so much insight into and compassion towards all of the characters here. The ultimate resolutions for each of them feel hard-won and satisfying.

his is one of our weekly communally-generated gen rec lists. Every week we announce a new theme and allow anyone to submit a fic recommendation.

aimee already crying is so real actually. she’s the representation all of us overly emotional d&d players need

[critterfloozy]

Okay, have we talked about the Kryn reaction to finding out that the Champion of Llolth is sideways consecuted?

[artificialhaunts]

🕷️Champion of the Spider Queen 🕷️

[freshcuntgrass]

A perennially fun-to-play premise for a D&D character is "what if a girl was the most 19 years old anyone has ever been?" and that's the fundamental appeal of Opal EXUcriticalrole

[pi-seas]

Nothing will get me worse than Fearne asking over and over about Fy'ra and Opal

Her sisters :<<<<<
