#and ive heard good things about the dnd one

[monorayjak]

I've not seen this movie, and don't plan on seeing it in all honesty (open to it though because it looks like it could actually be funny to me, but it's 50/50) but from what I've seen so far through stuff like this is that these two share like 3 braincells and Barbie has then most of the time (I'm honestly assuming that's her name actually, I feel like I've seen things with her called that but I honestly can't remember.... having an awful memory and adhd is fun)

At the end of the day im still pissed at that Joshua bitch

[redwoodcolony]

ive never heard of a clerc before, first thing that comes to mind is a store clerk lmao

Also you're lucky people for some reason arent getting mad at the leader and deputy age gap whenever I play clangen and get an age gap like that I'm yelled at by others to forcibly break them up or change their age in the code ☹️ wish I had your freedom lmaoooo

English isn't my first language so I thought clerc and cleric were basically the same thing because of DnD 😔

Also warning, big block of text incoming, I hope my English is good enough so you can understand everything !!

TW for talking about age gaps

I am very sorry you had such experiences. :( I am actually very anxious whenever I post as I fear I might get yelled at. Actually, posting this very post makes me anxious because I know talking about this subject can be very difficult. I actually rewrote his post like three times already😭

For now thankfully, everyone commenting on this blog has been very nice and kind :)

If it helps here is how I treat age gaps, maybe it can help you solve some of your issues with your public ?

I try my best to have the age gaps as small as possible, I only allow larger age gaps if the cats both meet as full grown adults (which is the case for Silversight and Spectralstar ! I actually have a little backstory post for the founders in preparation !)

I usually let the game do its own thing when it comes to couples, I mainly use my mediators to strenghten family bonds (mainly with adopted kits, because the game doesn't automatically strenghten these relationships)

If the cats are both colony-born, I will break the couple up if the age gap is equal or superior to 6 moons and the younger party is less than 30 moons old. Otherwise it makes me feel uncomfortable

I can make an exception for colony-born cats, as an example if the two cats only start being attracted to each other when the oldest is 90 moons old, and the youngest is 80 moons old ? It feels less weird to me, like they had time to experiment around with their feelings and everything before settling together you know ?

For a colony-born cat and an outsider, I can allow larger age gaps as long as the outsider joined when the colony-cat was already a full grown adult. I usually allow the game to make them an official couple when the younger party is at least 30 moons old. This means that Valleyfall x Oddspots is forbidden !!! It's just a one-sided crush on Oddspots side !

Generally I will ignore a lot of the romantic feelings the cats have for each others in-game if it makes me uncomfortable lol. You don't have to make everything that happens in-game canon in your comic if it makes you feel queasy !

These are just personal rules I give myself, otherwise I feel uncomfortable when playing and drawing my cats !

(The following part is just me rambling about canon Warrior Cats issues and how it influences Clangen and therefore most playthroughs of the game)

I think the age gap issue is due to the general canon Warrior Cats Clan setting, because if you do follow the classic Warrior Code™, you aren't allowed to take in domestic cats and loners; which means you can't add new blood, but it also means that all your cats know each other since birth. :((

In the canon books, it leads to weird ahh relationships like Thornclaw and Blossomfall, Onestar and Whitetail, Ashfur x Squirrelflight or even Brambleclaw x Squirrelflight (we often forget that both Ash and Bramble were warriors when Squirrel was born lol)

The one way the canon books found to remedy to this issue was to add a lot of useless background characters, so that they could reproduce more and regularly, giving a steady flow of new kittens of similar ages to ship with the main characters. This isn't really a good solution in the long run, seeing how incredibly big ThunderClan has become, but it's also not solving the big "everyone is related to each other" issue. :(((

That's why I decided to create the Colony instead of a Clan, so that I can change the rules, so I can integrate outsiders and domestic cats with no issue, introducing both new blood and characters who don't know everyone since they were born :)

I hope this helps you a bit ! :)

[churromancermasterofchurros]

“I just came from r/196” ask game

Saw another post. I think I should invite y'all to one of our longstanding traditions. Answer the questions then tag 10 (or more) people. I'll go first.

Name? Call me whatever, just dont call me late to dinner.

Pronouns and gender? he/him Guy

Sexuality? Hetero

Country? USA

Top 5 fandoms? Im into a lot of different things, but i would say im more a casual viewer in general. Some things i used to follow on reddit were gravity falls, AtLA, Pathfinder2e, stranger things, etc.

What is your Most forbidden snack? Probably erasers. Rubber makes good stim.

Would you pet a bug? Depends on the bug, but sure.

Share a weird fact/story about yourself with the class. a weird fact about me would be that i have a slight notch in my left ear. Noone knows where it came from. Mom joked she bit my ear as a child. *shrugs*

What does the color blue taste like? The color blue im thinking of probably has a sweet vanilla taste.

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? My wife on our wedding day. I cried.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? I threw lemons at stop signs when i was a kid?

Probably not the stupidest thing, but the easiest one to think of.

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? I knew someone who used the phrase "don't take the little things for granite"

Hyperfixation song? Probably Death by Melanie Martinez, but honestly the whole Portals album slaps.

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? I just yoinked my pic off the internet cuz i like dnd, but the name is dnd related too. I love necromancers, im mexican, i love churros, i like being silly. So i mooshed it all together.

Dream career as a child? Actor.

Dream career as an adult? Sugar baby. I just want to live comfortably with my family and spend time with them and doing odd hobbies..

Thoughts on cilantro? I could take it or leave it.

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? No, never. Ive definitely banned some places from me though.

What is your cursed food combination? I like cheese on my pb&js? I get weird looks for that one at least.

Trans rights? Fuck yea! Be who you are, beautiful people.

Hello, 

This is maybe my third or fourth attempt at writing something that I feel is acceptable. I keep deleting my writing because I am worried it sounds odd or I am not properly articulating the point I am trying to get across. I wonder if it has actually been bad or if it is just me being hyper critical of myself. I want to write posts that make sense and make other people feel seen. I have not been able to find a blog or social media that talks about all of the things I wish I was seeing. I want to see a young woman my age discussing her struggles as she goes through life. Someone who was just recently diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and PCOS. A girl who is struggling to come to terms with it all. Who is honest about her experiences and struggles. A girl who just simply writes about coming of age in this difficult world we live in.

While there may be these out there, I have yet to find them, but I will keep searching to find connection. For now I will simply do it myself. I will write about everything I can and hope to make at least one person out there feel less alone. Gosh have I felt so alone for so much of my life. Just alone in my brain and my thoughts. This blog is also good for when things do finally change. I will be able to look back when I was struggling to get out of bed, very low on friends, and wishing for it to get better, and be proud of the growth and progress I have made. 

I have been 22 for around 9 months and yet I often still feel as though I am 14, just starting high school and trying my hardest to fit in. I have always felt this desperate need to be liked by everyone around me. That has definitely not happened lol, but I guess in the end being liked should not be a priority. I am working on accepting that by being myself I will draw in people that truly like me for me and not this masked version of myself so many in my life know. 

I guess I have often felt like I MUST keep this fake outward appearance of being okay all the time. The thought of burdening others or bringing them down with my depression and anxiety has been such a fear. I have felt so deeply sad for so much of my life and did not know where to even start when it came to starting the process of healing. Actually I know my depression has brought some others down whith just how deep Ive let it sink into me. It has infected many of the people surrounding me and I am so deeply sorry for that. I often think of the people I have hurt or lost connection with due to me hatingmyself and projecting these fears and anxieties onto others. To growth and change though. I have chosen to accept the pass and all I can do is move forward, right my wrongs, and do better in the future.

Here are some things I have been wanting to write about. 

I have recently been watching Dimension 20’s Freshman Year Dungeons and Dragons game. I have always wanted to get into dnd but have not had a solid crowd of friends that were also interested in things like that. It has been so much fun making my way through their episodes and seeing the wild directions a game can grow. I have been watching maybe two or three episodes a day and I am going to try to keep that up until I finish Junior Year. I wonder how long we will have to wait for senior year IF they even decide to do one. Watching this game has really put into perspective how much of the quote on quote “Nerdy Stuff” I have avoided my whole life. But actually that is not true. I outwardly made it appear like i was avoiding it, but then in secret would enjoy all of these things. If I heard it would make people not like me then I was scared of doing it. That’s such fucking bullshit. So glad I am beginning to actually do the things I enjoy. I like table top games! I like video games! I really like watching twitch streams of people plying my favorite games! Hopefully soon I will be able to join my own first campaign of dnd. That would be fabulous. First I will be starting by creating my character. I believe I have now started a dnd hyper fixation and I am quite excited about it. 

I have come to a realization on my interest in the sex, kink, and fetish category. I have always been so fascinated by it all. Fascinated by the thought of pleasure so great a person is shaking and illegible. The idea of being brought to sub space and how fantastic it sounds. True aftercare from a partner who just wants to take care of me and make sure I am okay in every way. The excitement of how many sub genres there are in the world of sex and kink. I have been reading and watching many things on these topics since elementary school. Ive felt this innate shame about it the entire time though. I think It is important for me to get rid of that shame and accept that I like this stuff and it is okay. It is okay to have many of the kinks I do. I will find a partner who will work with me to figure out if they are things we can take part in together. Actually maybe my current partner will and I just need to push past the fear and talk to him about it all. I guess all we can do is experiment and trust each other. I will be keeping a log of my journey here. 

I have been wanting to write my own story for a while now. At first I was trying to come up with an entirely new idea, but more recently Ive decided to start with something that I already know. I know the Harry Potter universe extremely well. I have been a fan for as long as I can remember. Reading the books, too many fanfictions to count, the movies, and fan made films has been a huge part of my life. I think I will start by writing fanfiction. In fact I have so many ideas I will be able to put into a story. The characters and general backstory are already there. I just need to go into depth a little more on that and then create their future. I will start with Dramione, but I would love to write some marauders ff one day. I adore all of these fanon characters so much. I will also be keeping track of my progress on this blog. 

I love to write and I hope that through blogging more I will learn to articulate my words a lot better. Thanks for reading all of this if you get this far lol.

i might have a date ish thing on saturday(?',) i mean i know i have it but im hmmm. i know the guy likes me duh im amazing and hes putting in the effort and the son of a bitch didnt let me pay for my ticket and hes bringing drinks bla bla its a very datey situation but we are stil at the ziomuś kolego bro chłopie stage. hinestly i sont even know if i can be romantically interested in anyone but certainly not this fast but the plan is i will het to know him and become friends and then we will see. im open to having feelings for him hes cute hes got nice eyes and looong very long ginger hair (the kind that shines in the sunlight) and cute glasses, he's also a tumblr boy apparently and he could be right around the corner on here because we see the same memes, and generally we get along, so hes kinda the perfect candidate, this plus the fact that he clearly thinks im awesome rightfullt so and is putting in the edfort to keep talking to me (which is. well i am NOT a texter i text this guy back like once a day in big blocks and j just ouuugggh sorry bro i do like you i just cant stand texting or whatever i mean i can but i ammmm bad at it and it is exhausting to me sorry babe but he keeps initiating so yayi dont have to <3 god i am not a texter BUT THERES NO OTHER WAY TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE NOWADAYS like umless ur seeing each other very often theres no otherr waaaayyy), oh yea i forgot to mention hes into things like dnd and lotr and dungeon meshi and the witcher he also likes x men and collects vinyls but he is never ever condescending when he talks about them hes just excited and friendly which is cute and also his opinions that ive heard on them are pretty based oh and hes got some interesting fashion tendencies if that makes sense i cant find put a finger on it also hes a fellow regular of the goth komis at grójecka i think idk the one in praga ANYWAY ya hes a pretty damn good candidate mostly im worried its gonna get awkwarf because hes not the confident type but maybe thats for the best and j can carry. i dont know. he also finds my facial hair cool so

[ko-odi]

I'm the guy who submitted the anon ask before (where u drew me a pic of Drake, thank u so much I will cherish it for the rest of my life!!!) and I'm in need of some Haunted headcanon inspo for a dnd game I'm trying to run soon!! Tell me some of ur headcanons, no matter how obscure, small, or seemingly insignificant

SRY THIS TOOK SO LONGGGG i. forgort BUT HERE R A FEW !!! :D some of these are my own and some of these are me parroting things ive heard from the haunted discord that i love (u should totally join the discord btw its fun i can give an inv to anyone not already there if anyone wants one!!)

-Drakes issues regarding tone and reading the room, such as 1) his default mode of speaking being thru sarcasm (no hes really not always trying to be rude, thats just how he communicates 😭), and 2) cracking jokes or quips at inappropriate times (like when graysons house was burning down and drake was all like “wow grayson sure does love his secret hatches lawl” and “he should really rethink his escape routes for next time haha!” like drake this is NOT THE TIME). Im not saying hes NOT sassy or rude (because he totally is <3) but like. its not ALWAYS ON PURPOSE OK LMAO he is autistic 🫶

-somewhat related to this is that i hc that he says cheesy lines like “erm… hes RIGHT behind me isnt he” and “um guys, you MIGHT wanna take a look at this…” all the time, and he does so bcs he repeats phrases hes read in books (or from movies/shows he saw before traveling to the future or whatever) a lot. either that or he just Says That Stuff which is almost funnier

-drakes sleeping schedule SUCKS dude and a big parta that is cuz enderman are nocturnal and his internal clock is all messed up. (the water up on his mountain canonically helps him sleep tho im pretty sure?)

-his bodys kinda awkward to move around in, and hes always tripping over his feet or bumping into stuff (hes just like me fr….)

-this ones odd, but the subspecies of enderman that drake is fused(??) with have rings all over their body that they use to light up dark areas (such as caves), and to communicate (blinking lights like fireflies, bright flashes to intimidate others, are dim when sick, etc). Theyre able to control this using their natural magic or whatever. HOWEVERRR drake is unable to control his himself! His rings are stuck at a set brightness, and he cant “turn them off”, leading him to always be expelling a small but steady amount of magic. This is part of why he runs out of mana faster than other magic users/enderman, and is part of why he tries not to waste his mana when possible.

-related to above, hes not ab magic doesnt last very long, but is very volatile and powerful in bursts. this is the OTHER reason he doesnt use magic willy nilly .. he has to learn how to harness it properly or else he might end up hurting people by accident (this might literally be canon but i thought id mention it anyway)

-in the haunting one, hes always stating things abt himself that we never actually get to see (like when he calls himself the builder, or good at parkour, or when armen said that he had a problem with breaking windows???? 😭) so i like to think that those are just collins memories slipping thru the cracks, and those memories dont rly belong to/are about drake at all. theres probably other shared fuzzy memories he has from collin too (like ruby shire perhaps) so thats super fun to play with!! I think this might actually be also canon but yk

-ARMEN iiii love this guy ok so i love to hc that, after hes revived/saved (IF you want to go that route!), he comes back not dead, but not quite alive either…. hes like sorta half and half to me lol. or maybe hes alive, but coming back to life has some side effects (like being cold all the time for example). Hes also suuuper sleepy all the time after hes saved LET HIM SNOOZE dude.

as much as it pains me, I also love the hc that armen comes back with his memory wiped (i think this is close to where the intended canon was supposed to head as well!). You can either go the “his memory is totally wiped, which effectively makes him a new person” route, the “his memory is wiped back to the fall into the lava, right before HB possessed him” route, or the “his memory gets wiped to before HB was involved in his life whatsoever” route. I like all 3 options aaaah idk what my favorite is!!! i’ll probably talk in depth abt these in a different post later bcs the fact that it adds more parallels between him and collin/drake makes me insane. either way he will sometimes have unexplainable deja-vu and things will feel familiar to him.

-armen is super cold all the time (always wearing sweaters and stuff) while drake is super warm all the time (always wearing thin clothes. but this is cuz hes always expelling some sorta magical energy involuntarily, so when he runs outta mana he gets cold as well) this isnt important or anything i just like it :3c

-i like to think that despite his affinity towards it before the fall, he tries to avoid combat & conflict when possible post-possession/revival. very “uhh im a lover not a fighter haha ..” (<- could kick your butt if he tried) vibes. or maybe he lost all combat ability post revival and totally sucks now !! either way man just wants to chill (he is traumatized)

-MIA shes lowkey scared of being on the water after her and her sisters shipwreck, the day she was captured by the empire. she probably slips back into familiarity when they take over that airship one time tho- maybe she gets an airship of her own in the future o:? haunted group sky pirate crew when 🤨???

-along with magic, she also GETS INTO ALCHEMY/CHEMISTRY !!! its like.. magic ??? without needing to provide any ACTUAL magical power yourself?? thats so fucking sick ok. She and drake do magicy-sciencey experiments together and they end up blowing stuff up a lot. despite what drake says, they BOTH enjoy the chaos.

-mia and armen would be BEST. FRIENDS. i think abt mia armen friendship literally all the time they would be so chaotic and thoughtful with each other i love mia armen friendship sm. maybe mia helps style his hair like hers since its grown out later :] They are so sibling core to me

-related to both yhings above, she shares her love of learning with armen. They learn tons of random stuff together :D chemistry archeology history magic biology etc. Mia loves learning anything she can get her hands on, and armen feels the need to learn everything he missed while he was gone.

(sidenote: if he comes back with completely wiped memory, him learning all different sorts of subjects is him trying to figure out what he enjoys, and who he is as a person. “building himself up from ground zero”. and mias glad to help ): <3)

-MIA AND GRAYSON ARE ALSO SIBLING CORE !!!!!!!!!! you are NOT immune to the “mia is everyones sister” propaganda …. im mind controlling you ….

-grayson my GUY dude ok. not rly a hc and more of an observation but i loooove how hes so serious and pessimistic all the time but hes also like…. friendly (yet distrusting) and silly (devouring and entire cake and being all like “:D” with a flower crown and slimey friend) like idk i just looav that contrast its yummy. cruel world forcing his joyous whimsey into hiding </3

-finds a sickening comfort in loneliness, while also being deeply afraid of it. no it is not healthy. i might have to describe this later, as ive not found the words to do so yet.!!! maybe others can add onto this if they wish :)))

-His wife was fucking awesome ok. She was totally anti-empire and wrote many pamphlets that hurt the emperor & his followers image under an anonymous name that spread around the public like wildfire. Did she initially start dating grayson to get more info on the empire without his knowledge? Was she herself high up in the empires chain of command, helping get grayson the job in the first place? Did grayson know and help his wife with her endeavors(im leaning towards yes but no would be fun)? idk but she was awesome and they committed treason together and were in love

-idk if im totally down with the idea, but graysons wife and/or kid ending up being ALIVE…. MANNN THAT COULD BE SO GOOD. SO DRAMA INDUCING. GRRRR i wanna play with this later

-if i start talking abt drake and grayson friendship i will not shut up about it so ill keep it BREIF ….. they are ambiguously romantic/ALMOST queerplatonic to me. they dont care abt labeling what they are, partially bcs they CANT. they r life partners who hold hands and find comfort in the others consistency and the stability their friendship brings. grayson calls drake his “darling husband” for shits and giggles and drake glares at him (while very obviously smiling). OK WE’RE DONE ..

-none of them are allocishet sorryyyy (<- not actually sorry at all) i can list out my queer hcs later if anyone wishes smile :))

-collin, luke, and lalea are still cooking in my head .. i dont have that many hcs abt them qwq i suggest looking to APPLE @apple-rose301 FOR THESE GUYS (she said i could @ her for this) and for any character hcs and analysis stuff tbh, their thoughts are basically canon to me /pos . would also love to hear EVERYONES THOUGHTS AND ANALYSES AND HCS EVER !!!! so if anyone sees this … u should totally list out ur own thoughts :)))) PLEASR PLEASEPLEA

i also have more thoughts on each character analysis wise, specifically the contrasts and parallels they have with each other and themselves, but that might be putttt into a different postttt

OH also sry for being more drake focused i loav drake he is my favorite guy ever ever .!! I HOPE THESE FEW LITTLE THOUGHTS ARE ALRIGHT THO TYSM FOR ASKINNGGGG (ALSO IM GLAD U LIKED THE DRAWING TYY) AND ALSO ID LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABT THIS DND CAMPAIGN HELLO ???

[saturnisfallingdown]

three cheers for sweet revenge GO 👀

LETS GOOO EMO KIDS !!

The best song on the album – Thank You for the Venom hard choice because this whole album is a delight but i think venom best sums up what makes it great!! gerard's vocals against the absolutely insanely good guitars are what its all about!!

My favorite song on the album – I Never Told You What I Do for a Living MY BELOVED!! i feel like shes a popular favorite choice among people who are Way Too Into mcr but god im not immune. The "I Tried"s are some of my favorite things mcr has ever done. THE EMOTION OF IT ALL!!!

My least favorite song on the album – The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You "least favorite" IS SO MEAN. three cheers is a no skips album and I still love jetset life!! I just don't find myself listening often outside of full album listens you know how it is

The most overrated song on the album – Helena the cultural influence of helena is so huge and the music video defined the modern perception of the band and the genre as a whole. this all being said ive heard the song so many times it goes in one ear and out the other. STILL OBJECTIVELY A GREAT SONG THOUGH!!

Most underrated – Hang 'Em High HANG EM HIGH MOST UNDERRATED FOREVER. The whistles the venom in the lyrics. I love it to absolute bits. Helps that me and my gf both associate it with our dnd characters

The banger of all bangers – You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison DOES A SICK DANCE. THEY MAKE ME DO PUSH-UPS IN DRAAAAG!!

Rate from 0-10 – 9/10 A near perfect album to me!! Of any albums that could've defined the subculture to this day, I'm so glad it was Three Cheers.

[scolek]

Were you comparing strangerr things to big bang theory

yeah, but only in how it portrays nerdiness. obviously they are leagues, fathoms upon fathoms of leagues apart in every other aspect.

but the way they like, shoehorn in like, the most surface level references to commonly geeky things. its the nerd aesthetic, but not the nerd experience. the scene at the beginning with the kids playing dnd made zero sense, even the original games dont work that way. comparing the kid whose name i dont know with the cranio-something (??) hypoplasia to mr fantastic when thats not how mr fantastic even works, like they clearly just googled it and found the first thing anyone wouldve reasonably heard of instead.

thats some shit theyd do on tbbt in between racist jokes and sexist jokes and deeply unsettling canned laughter

meanwhile the good show would actually be made better if they were actually serious about it. ive looked up a bit about the version of dnd they wouldve been playing and i think it wouldve helped set up the character of other two kids whose names i do not know BETTER if they were following how initiative actually worked.

they might also be doing that with the 80s? more of an aesthetic than a depiction. idk. i can only call out the shallowness of the things im actually well versed in. my mom actually recommended the show to grandma, she really loves it, (the time i picked up some eggo waffles at the store when i was with her and she, completely unprompted, said oh like eleven!!), so i might ask her, because shes like only a year or two older than the main characters. ofc she was like, going to parties and on the track team, so im. yeah lowkey if my mom was a character in stranger things she would be one of steves friends. she wouldnt be actively mean to wills brother, but, just like nancy, she wouldnt stop them either.

still, an avenue to pursue in how this otherwise very good show treats a few of its major selling points. im just here for the mystery.

[dykeyote]

Oh you listen to TMA?, well would you recommend it?

i did listen :D!! not much anymore haha but i was real into it back in like 2020 (: and well . that is a VERY layered question bc i have very mixed feelings about tma as a podcast sorry anon im sure u were hoping for a cut and dry yes or no but alas .... i ramble

so basically short answer is that if you want to get into non-dnd fiction podcasts and be an active member of fandom for them i would highly recommend you listen to tma not even out of tmas own original quality but just because its So popular and its made Such an impact on the fiction podcast landscape . i would recommend wtnv for a similar reason but also just because wtnv is just great and a wonderful listen (and my special interest lol) - SOOO many people around you are gonna be referencing tma and referencing the entities and listening to at leaset a good chunk of it at least once will make your experience in the fiction podcast fanbse more enjoyable because when people say stuff like . idk "sydney would be a corruption avatar" youll understand wtf theyre saying . so just on a very functional level id recommend you listen to it just so you understand the references that people around you make (:

whether i would recommend tma based on its own merits is .... more complicated . because tma is one of those pieces of media where the good attributes are REALLY INCREDIBLY GOOD and the bad attributes are very noticeable, and some of those can even be the same thing - for example, while ive had many in depth discussions about how poorly implemented i think the entities system is and how frustrating it is that theyre so poorly balanced throughotu all the episodes, i still think its one of the most genius pieces of world lore ive seen and does an AMAZING job at accurately encapsulating every single fear you could think of.

so basically, while i would recommend tma both because it has some VERY amazing aspects and because it had such an Impact on fiction podcasts that itll be tricky to avoid it if u wanna keep getting into narrative podcasts, i would recommend you examine it critically while you do so. like by all means have fun its GREAT the horrors creepy its popular for a reason!! but also make sure youre able to examine the writing flaws, both the ones that are just writing issues (like the pacing problems) and the ones that probably come to mind more when you think of "examining media critically" (like the narratives Very odd relationship to the police) . basically i would recommend checking it out and i think its very likely youd enjoy it but dont get too attached to it that you cant handle valid criticism because there is a LOT of valid criticism to be made

also ive heard stuff about ethics issues with the production company itself, im not really caught up on which parts of that are real and what the accepted appropriate ways to handle it are (like i said im not actively keeping up with tma anymore so i dont really know much about the good or the bad rn), but basically i wouldnt contribute to the the magnus protocol kickstarter (its got enough money as it is) and would instead support your favorite smaller podcasts instead (: theres loads to support if u wanna support a podcast financially!! blue mayfield (creator of camp here and there) in particular is struggling quite a bit, thats a good place to support (:

but again to wrap it all around this isnt a post dissuading you from listening i WOULD suggest you listen to it to understand what other people say about it in podcast spaces as well as because it genuinely has some really good creepy episodes and strong compelling characters w interesting dynamics and some really good examinations into themes like what it means to be human or the nature of fear and where it comes from . its definitely an enjoyable listen and one id recommend listening to at least once to anyone who wants to get into fiction podcasts and interact with the fanbase in any way!! i loved it in 2020 and i still adore many of the characters now (: i just have a lot of emotions about it lol im sure this is a way longer and more convoluted answer than you were hoping for whoops </3

@sammy-the-haze worm is a web novel about a girl who wants to be a superhero in a world where superpowers are traumagenic. she then finds out that morality is fake and everybody sucks, accidentally befriends a team of supervillains, and stumbles into becoming one of the most important people in her city and eventually in the world. its 1.7 million words long (so by November standards its actually 34 novels but whos counting) and has the plot structure of a goddamn dnd campaign in that the protagonists go from fighting street gangs to nationally wanted criminals to giant monsters to god. other reasons to read it include:

autism, so much autism, all of the characters are autistic to me

intense homoerotic subtext that the author REFUSES to acknowledge

character so divisive that the author once said he "didnt want to inflict her" on the audience again

watching characters who named themselves things like Clockblocker, Glory Girl, Tattletale, Bitch, and Kid Win grapple with the horrors of war and devastation

one of the best brick jokes about USAmericans ive ever seen

Riley Grace Davis. if youve seen basically any of my posts for the last week you may have heard of her

protagonist who manages to prove once and for all that it IS in fact possible to be a poor little meow meow, my beloved scrunkly babygirl, a girlboss beyond compare, and the weirdest little freak in the world

chekovs pepper spray

SERIOUSLY THE SUPERPOWERS IN THIS UNIVERSE ARE TRAUMAGENIC AND IT MAKES ALL THE CHARACTERS SO PERFECT OUGOUUOOGH

the phrase "shes wanted for serial murder. its very inconvenient" is uttered in earnest within the first quarter of the book.

legitimately good social and learning disability representation

multiple characters who say "damnation" like that is a totally normal thing to do

the characterization of the main group of protagonists in the first half of the story was once famously described as "what if the cast of Its Always Sunny accidentally befriended the protagonist of an ancient greek tragedy" and this is not inaccurate

only major caveat on it is that it sometimes shows that it was written in 2011 by a guy who is... hes not TERRIBLE terrible but i would probably hate trying to spend any real amount of time with him. in particular: im sorry about the nazis

seeing a woe.begone url posting about worm is like ah i see you're a fan of creators with a terrifying output rate

my love of wbg actually did lead directly to my discovering of worm in the most roundabout way possible so like

Dustin Henderson x Harrington fem! reader

Warning: Season 4 spoilers. Song: Time after Time - Cyndi Lauper

word count: 2196

Your brother’s words echoed in your mind. Jesus Christ, you were screwed, well you and everyone else in Hawkins. It’s such a shame they all fell prey to society’s provocative ideas of high-school students being in an infamous satanist group. If only they knew, Hell Fire had only been a DnD club. Stupid fools, closed-minded fools. If only they had bothered to reach out and step out of that idea, and learn something new like computers. Then, you probably wouldn’t be looking for a hiding, Eddie Munson. 

Poor guy. 

You were scared that your brother - Steve Harrington - would fall prey to it too. But, thanks to Dustin Henderson he didn’t. 

The guy managed to get Steve to tag along in anything. From finding his ‘pet’ Demogorgon, Dart to the Russian conspiracy in star court mall. So this was practically nothing for him. 

You remembered, Steve being missing for what felt like a week, and your parents asking about him the night of Billy Hargrove’s death. 

The two boys pleaded with you to stay home, and with hesitation you did. Though you regretted every minute of it. 

You had learned that Dustin’s so-called ‘girlfriend’ Suzie had saved the day. Max had spilled the beans a month after. You were hurt but didn’t dare show it to anyone. 

You knew everyone had kept something hidden from you. You were never one to pry, so you kept quiet. Kept quiet about feeling left out. Kept quiet being in love with your best friend. Kept quiet about your nightmares. 

You twiddled with your thumbs, nervously. They were going over the plan to save Hawkins. Nancy had confessed the visions Vecna had shown her. 

Too in your thoughts, you had felt the wetness slowly trickling down your nose. Yes, you had been getting these migraines, and visiting the school counsellor, but as always you had been discrete about it. 

No one knew, well one person did but she was no longer here. 

Nightmares plagued your dreams, of these things. 

Not human, but human-like. 

Glowing eyes. 

Burnt skin. 

Flying bat-like creatures. 

You couldn’t explain it. Every time you would, your voice would cease. Disappear like it was never there. And you would sit there shocked, by the sudden disappearance. 

Helpless and Scared. 

Ms Kelly would just wave it off as if you were afraid to open up. But that was the thing, you weren’t. You were trying so hard, yet something was stopping you. 

Controlling you. 

That was until one day, you bumped into Chrissy in the girl's restroom. 

~A week ago~

You both had made your way to the skin. You both were in the midst of washing your hands when you heard it. 

The chime. 

Both your heads snapped in the direction of the noise. And there it sat, perfectly in the wall. 

You took a step back, slipping on spilled water on the floor. 

You fell to the floor with a thud.  

Snapping out of her trance, Chrissy came to your aid. 

Despite her attempts to help, you didn’t move a muscle. Your eyes were trained on the sight in front of you. 

“You see it too, huh?” 

Her voice was barely above a whisper. Her eyes finally came face to face with the sight too. 

~Present, 1986~

And who’d a thought, later that day, only one of you would be alive? 

Sucking in a breath you left the room.  

Hushed whispers could be heard from across the room. Dustin and Lucas silently bickering with each other. Unaware of your sudden disappearance.

“Oh my - would you just tell her already?”

Gasping the curly-haired boy gaped at his friend. 

“Oh no. No way man. Steve would kill me.”

Lucas rolled his eyes. This kid had to be an idiot, he thought. Ever since he could remember, Dustin Henderson liked you. The princess of Hawkins. Of course, you earned that title, being Steve’s younger sister and all. Even with him losing his title, you still kept yours. 

“Who cares about Steve…what? He’s gonna kill you ‘coz he’s got no love life? Besides, Y/n, wouldn’t let her brother boss her around…she likes you.” 

Lucas’ words hit Dustin like a frat train. 

She likes you.

She likes you. 

Likes you. 

Y/n Harrington likes Dustin Henderson. 

Eyeing his friend closely, Lucas began to zone out until he felt a painful squeeze on his arm. 

“Ouch, hey! Dustin! Jesus Christ, that hurts! DUSTIN?” Tugging his arm away wasn’t working, so he raised his hand and flicked Dustin in the head.

The boy let go but kept his eyes trailed on the sight across the room. 

Following, Lucas realised his friends panicked grasped. Your spot was empty. 

“Oh shit.” 

You sat on the toilet lid, silently. You could hear the chatter from the other room. 

You sucked in a breath. The wetness of the blood, still trickling down your nose. You held your hankie gently in the palm. 

It was your grandmother’s. How ironic. Right? A token of her love and your good luck charm. You took it everywhere, cheerleader tryouts, dates, exams.  

It was magical. 

If it had been magical, then how come this time it wasn’t. 

You could feel the sting. 

Blinking, you focused your attention on the small mirror. You smiled a little, it was cute. Fit perfectly for Eddie’s Uncle’s caravan home. You couldn’t keep doing this, distracting yourself. You needed to come to terms with reality.

Enough, you thought. It’s time to face your fears.  

You stood up and made your way to the tiny mirror. And there you were facing the mirror, yet your eyes were trailing the sink. Finding fascination in the grotty-looking drain. 

You needed to look up. 

Look up. 

Look up. 

Look. 

Up.  

Your eyes shot up. 

And there you were. Eyes wet with tears and nose and lips red with blood. Stunned, you brought your hand up to your nose. Fingers hovering over the blood. The closer your fingers got the more real this became. Your grandmother’s handkerchief was coated in wrinkles. 

Any harder it would mould into your skin. This needed to stop. A quiet sob spilled out of your lips. You would be damned if you let yourself become another victim of Vecna. 

You wouldn’t. 

You couldn’t. 

Gripping the handkerchief harder, you brought it up to your nose. Dabbing the soft material against your skin. The blood coating into the white surface, turning it scarlet.

You’re not victim four.

Dustin scattered up and towards Steve, starling the poor guy.

“Jesus, Henderson!”

“Where’s Y/n?” He stammered. 

“What?” 

“Where’s Y/n?” 

Glancing over where his sister was last seated, the boy’s eyes grew wide. 

“Shit!”

Your actions ceased. 

The whisper startling you, you pulled back from the mirror. 

There it stood.  

Tall and ugly. 

Oh shit. 

“God, no.” tone hushed, quiet as a mouse. 

You didn’t know what to do, where to run, how to fight. 

It was standing right there. Right behind you. You clutched that handkerchief, with your life. 

You closed your eyes and slowly turned around. “This isn’t real. This isn’t real.” 

Eyes still closed, you felt him lean forward. Breath fanning your cheek. 

“Oh, but Y/n. This is real.” he hissed. 

Drawing a sharp claw and gently dragging it along your temple. 

“No…no…no, please.” 

Eddie came running from his room. “She’s not here dude.” 

Pacing back and forward, Dustin pondered. Where the hell could you be?

Lucas, Max and Robin, came bursting through the trailer door.

“She’s not outside. No one has seen her.” 

“Shit. Shit. SHIT.” He paced harder. 

Glancing around, Max noticed the tiniest bit of light shining from under the bathroom door. “Uh? Did anyone bother to check the bathroom?”

Snapping their heads in the direction of the bathroom they all ran. 

Robin stepped forward gently rapping against the closed door. 

“Hey, Y/n? Everything okay in there.” 

Silence. 

Pushing Robin aside, Steve began knocking. 

“Hey n/n. It’s me, Steve.” 

“Dumbass, of course she would know it’s you.” 

Rolling his eyes, he continued. 

“Hey come on now? Sis? Y/N?” 

Again silence. 

Turning around, he gaped. 

“She…she…she’s not answering.” 

Coming to his aid, Max began banging on the door. 

Banging. Twisting the knob. Damn the door was locked. 

“Y/N!?” 

“Y/N!”

“Hey open up! Come on.” 

“SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!” Steve shouted.

“WE’RE TYRING HERE.” Dustin seethed, at the older boy. 

Yet on the other side of the door was another story.

“Don’t be afraid… You have nothing to be afraid of.” 

Your eyes still sealed shut. His claw ceasing above your brow bone. Causing a shiver to rupture down your spine. 

It was poison. 

All of this. 

The waiting, the silence, the coolness of the air. Hell, it was summer. 

“...I’m not…” 

Then why couldn’t you open your eyes? The hankie, firmly grasp in your hand. 

The hankie. 

Your grandmother’s hankie. 

“...Good… you’re not number four.” 

The hiss of his voice scared yet ceased your fears. Eyes fluttering, you open them. Staring deep into the pools of hell. Or so you thought. 

“If we don’t break down the door, we won’t be able to help Y/n.” 

Stunned by the boy’s demands Eddie cut in. 

"Woah, Woah. There will be no breaking of any doors in this house.”

With that, both Dustin and Steve thrust themselves into the door. With a clang, it fell to the floor. And there you were, eyes rolled back and head up. You had been standing in front of the mirror, scarlet-coated hankie hanging from your fist. 

“Oh shit.” Rushing to your side, your brother brought you into his lap. Shaking you. “Come on, hey come on… Guys do something.” Steve cried, looking toward Dustin.  

Grabbing your bag they found your walkman. 

Leaning forward Dustin reached your head but paused the moment a gasp rang throughout the place. 

You gripped onto Steve. 

Frantically peering around. All eyes were on you. 

The only sound being, the breathing of each and every person.

“Holy shit.” 

Your e/c eyes locked with Dustin’s blue ones. 

Fear and solace. 

Your staring contest was interrupted by your brother. 

“Hey. Hey, Y/n. What happened? Are you hurt? Did it touch you? Is that blood?” You smiled at your brother's frantic questions. 

“Steve? Steve! I’m okay…just a little dizzy.” Lifting you up he brought you to the couch. 

Watching Steve walk off with you, Dustin leaned against the wall. He felt helpless, he should have been your knight and shining armour. Your saviour, but he wasn’t. 

Scared like a child. 

Fear consumed his whole senses. 

“So are you just gonna stand there? Or are you gonna tell her how you feel?” 

His eyes shot to the older boy. Eddie had been eyeing the two throughout the whole moment. That and also how the two of you would act around each other at school. 

From the constant blushing to the quick eye gazes. 

“What! What? We don’t like each other…plus she is popular and I’m… well I’m me…Dustin Henderson, the dork.” 

Frantically stepping back, Eddie gaped at the young boy and smiled. 

“Uh, I think you’re blind. Dude, have you not seen the way she looks at you… Oh my God… dude… this… I don’t know how to tell you this… would you go over there and just kiss her already.”

Gripping Dustin’s shoulders, Eddie patted his head and forcibly shoved the young boy toward the Harrington siblings. 

Noticing this Steve stood up and made his way over to Robin. 

Almost collapsing on top of you Dustin, turned back and glared at Eddie. Before trailing his eyes over to you. 

“Hi.” He smiled. 

“Hi, Dustin.”

You two awkwardly sat with each other in silence. 

“OH MY GOD! WOULD YOU TWO JUST CONFESS ALREADY?"

“Eddie! SHUT UP…I’m sorry-”

“You like me?” Your voice was quiet but caught the boy’s ears.

“Uh yeah…I know that’s weird-”

“No. God no…I thought you and Suzie were a thing?” 

Eyes wide he stared at you. You had been jealous of a girl like Suzie. No fracking way.

Y/n Harrington; the most popular girl in his year level. 

The girl who over-throwned Stacey Albright, and befriended Chrissy Cunningham. 

The girl who kicked his ass in DnD. 

The girl who outsmarted their year five science teacher.   

The girl, who befriended anyone. The girl, who he fell in love with. Was jealous of Suzie.

“Pssh, Suzie… I mean yeah she was nice and all, but she was never you… I thought you liked Tommy Briggs.” 

Rolling your eyes, you gave a loud chuckle. 

“Oh God no… He’s awful… Yeah I mean he tried, but no... Never… I’ve never liked anyone else… when you asked Stacey to dance at the snowball dance, it killed me… that and your hair…it was… Well, Steve.”

He chuckled along with you. Admiring your smile and how pink your cheeks turned. Locking your eyes, you grasped his hand. You knew what was coming. 

You both did.

“Can I…uh… can I kiss you, Y/n?” 

Smiling, you pulled him in. 

Lips pressing so gently. 

Everyone erupted in cheers. 

Hearing this Steve peered over to see what all the fuss was about. And he did not like what was seeing. 

“HENDERSON!”

“Oh shut up Steve.”

[pbandjesse]

Today was a pretty excellent day, all around. I mean I could complain a little. Mostly that I was cold. But like. It was still a really good day. 

I slept pretty good last night. Waking up continues to be hard, but I just have to let myself believe Im making up for the lost sleep. James woke me up at 8 and confused me about where they were going because they work at home on wednesday and Im like. Where you going. But it was just a joke. I would sleep for another hour. And when I got up and felt pretty okay. 

I had a nice breakfast. I made two different kinds of toast. Had a half of one of the special black apples we got at the farmers market. I didnt like the skin so much but the texture of the inside was nice. A little different then like a granny smith, and much sweeter. I like trying these new apples. 

I watched some videos and changed my shirt a few times because I was cold. It was a cold and rainy day. Which just made me feel damp and icy. But it was a nice morning still. 

I had my phone interview at 11 and it was great. I may or may not actually like the job but the conversation I had was lovely. I got to talk about Jess and me's relationship a little. And just about how I look at things, about my art and background. I talked about this blog a bit, and explained how the project works. She asked me to talk about how I would style someone in my family and I think I surprised her because I chose my brother. Steve is super minimal and spartin so I thought it would be a neat conversation and I was totally right.  Sort of upgrading a minimalist look. It was cool. This job is very very much a side hustle/micro part time job. But I think it would be fun. But even if I dont get it I had a good time talking to Emily. She was very sweet and made me feel very heard and I like that in people. 

I had like 10 minutes before I had to leave for work. I got myself ready and felt very cute. I like my new shirt a lot. I had to wear my fluffy jacket because it was very cold. And shockingly it was cold in the building at work too. Which has never been the case so it was a surprise. 

But work was really good for once? Thats not fair, there are good days. But today was good. It was chill. Yes it was almost all boys, and one little girl. But she went home half way through the day. So the boys were very loud. I got to spend the beginning of the day while they were in class reading!! Thats three days in a row! Im honestly trying to mirror behavior I want to see. And I am excited to have time to finish this book of short stories I started literally months ago. I finished one of the short stories and it was excellent. Like just awesome. 

And my mirroring plan worked because I read so many books to the kids today too. I was like, you wont like this (mostly because I didnt want to read one outloud I didnt know the content of incase it wasnt appropriate) but go pick a book and Ill read to you. So I read 4 little books and one 90 page book. The one little book was about a tiny seed and was our program so I asked them lots of questions throughout about where they think the seed could grow and stuff. It was very cute. And then while they worked on the yarn art project I showed them I read them a good about dragon riders. It was great. It took like 45 minutes to read the whole thing to them. It turns out its the first in a series. Im not sure we have the rest of the series but it was fun regardless. And it was nice having something to do. 

The rest of the day was pretty chill. We would read and paint and play games. We ran around upstairs. It was a good day. 

The kids took forever to get picked up again. I left a few minutes early because. I wanted to. And so I was out in the rain again. 

I got home and heated up my leftover pasta. I kissed on James for a little. And soon we had DND.

 My social battery was bad tonight. But I still had a lot of fun. Our party is essentially going to a 4H fair and most of us are just like. Cute story!! One person in our party seems annoyed with that and wants to go fight which like. I get. Thats how my last group was. But I like the cute story of it all! I hope we can make the story really nice and fun and like. Real? Like pushing violence just doesnt make sense for the story, not that we wont have fights, but I think the story can be better then that. 

We finished up the game and I got a shower. I used my new lotion bar and I will not be getting the no package one again because Ive only used it three times and its like half the size. Not cool. Learned my lesson there. 

Now it is time to dry my hair and go to sleep. I hope tomorrow is a nice day. I want to start painting my bears. So wish me luck for the energy to do that. Goodnight everyone. Take care of yourselves.

if ur thinking ‘h what the fuck’ you & i would b thinking the same thing. i kept adding songs bc im like ‘ah shit what if they hate the one i suggested?’ so i added 2 more. and then yk . i kept adding until my spotify app weirdly refreshed and i took it as a sign from god to stfu and finish the list so !!! that’s what i have !!! i hope ur having a lovely lovely day & that u like at Least one on this list 💓❣️💘🌺💞‼️

i’m gonna tell u what i think of each song BUT i’m putting it under a read more lkdhfbf

1. 3 nights: i realized i’ve actually heard this one BUT not the whole song so it’s ok! i like it it’s v chill v vibey it sounds like streetlights reflecting off a wet road <3 (i am incapable of describing songs with adjectives)

2. emotional: the instrument in the background of this is rly cool idk it’s like. it kinda sounds like hitting spoons on a glass but more musical & almost piano like? i rly like it tho, this song sounds like bright colors & peaches :D

3. honest: this one kinda sounds like one of those ones that makes ur brain go brrrr ‼️ its like. laced w something kfjbjsbfksnv musically it’s not rly my thing but i can appreciate it as a song <3

4. devil i know: i only know one allie x song (can’t stop now) so i wasn’t sure what this would sound like but it’s kinda insane??? the background vocals r so cool i love the humming :0 v sexie nd her voice is so beautiful omg

5. sweet disposition: this feels oddly familiar. i don’t think i’ve heard it tho. it kinda reminds me of say geronimo if u know that one? it sounds like adventure kind of, like it could be used in a travel vlog (complimentary)

6. very nice: aju NICE babababdadadabbabda!!!! i’ve heard this one but i don’t mind listening to it again <3 bop banger etc. good vocals amazing horns in the chorus also if u haven’t seen the choreo i would definitely recommend it it’s so fun

7. moonlight: this is so pretty omg 🥺 i got a mental image of like. sitting on top of a car w someone u love & watching a meteor shower on a clear night. very chill his voice is so lovely

8. rain: ben platt’s voice is gorgeous. this is not the type of music i would have expected from him though??? idk he doesn’t seem like the pop music type of person. i think i prefer some of his other music (cough grow as we go cough) but this is a solid song

9.. home: ive heard this but not since i was like 10 so the nostalgia i got from it,,,, :’) home also sounds like a travel vlog song a bit! i think its the oooohhhhhohohohs in the post chorus (?). this song just reminds me of my childhood i used to hear it all the time on the radio sitting in the backseat <3

10. just friends: I HAVE ALSO HEARD THIS BUT IDK WHERE the beginning played nd i was like wait a minute. OH!! its so nice i love how simple the instrumentals are & jordy has a rly pretty voice as well!! the melody is so addictive as well

halfway done! this is fun<3

11. timebomb: bop?? this could be used in the soundtrack to a romcom tv show directed at teenagers (once again. what are adjectives) it reminds me of when shut up and dance came out nd everyone was obsessed with it.. that was a better time i think

12. cross my heart: headbanging songs > the lyrics to this one r a little basic but thats ok not every song has to have deep profound lyrics that make u feel existential. this is certainly a banger yessir. the ending is cool too i love harmonies

13. shatter me: scawy... the imagery in this is insane "i pirouette in the dark" UM?? this sounds like a movie hello. imagine WAI HISNFVNKDNV THE DROP???? THE VIOLIN?????? i litrally just had to interrupt myself that was not an exaggerated reaction. ANYWAYS i was going to say: the movie scene im imagining is like. it keeps cutting between a girl doing ballet in dark, foggy lighting & a fight scene

14. paris is burning: dark alleyways & vintage movies!!! i enjoyed this more than i expected to? im picturing a girlboss character, maybe a spy? in all black & carrying a purse walking down the street. but she has to be wearing one of those black hats w a veil in the front & a flower on the brim, an ankle-length velvety black coat, & heels that go plonk on the cobblestone

15. arrival of the birds: THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! OMG! blue skies & green grass at a state park!!! i love it so much actually this went in my healing playlist <333 the way it built up in the best way.. tears

16. nyc girl: ok the guitar in the intro??? this is fuckign music truly one of the most songs ive ever heard. the bass fucks as well i rly like this one :D its so catchy im already bopping nd ik later im gonna b going "im gonna make u ma ha hine"

17. relay: the lyrics are so good???? its not a song that id probably listen to very often just bc its musically not my type of thing BUT i respect it a lot. shes obviously a super talented artist like i looked up the lyrics nd apparently she wrote the repeated line when she was 15??? i love what the song is about!

18. dnd: the production on the vocals is a lil bit strange but i like the song itself if that makes sense. its like mitam where the songs r mixed weirdly but i enjoy the songs anyway? i did think for abt a minute that the title referred to dungeons & dragons tho,, also i just looked up the artist and he is ALSO 15 what the FUCK

19. sympathy: the GUITARRRRR omg omgogmomg!! i rly love the whole intro like the first 30 seconds r just *chefs kiss*. OOH bass solo sexyyyyy i love prominent bass :D the instrumentals r really nice too & it reminds me of like. a heist? like a found family of thieves. this song would play as they were breaking into a museum or smth

20. december 1963: GROOVY! simply a fkin tune idk dude like this IS fun nd makes me think of roadtrips during the summer & also of walking along a dock in a harbor under the moonlight. very much floaty yellow dress vibes this song is just a mood booster

21. step with me: domestic. domesticity. thats it. no but the chorus is rly nice omg i like the melody!!! its so cute too the lyrics r so wholesome.. this sounds like an old couple thats been married for 50 years dancing to the radio in their kitchen <333 life goals

taz - frenzy barbarian literally been running on adrenaline nonstop since the nautiloid crashed she's just smashing her way through everything including that gith pu-*the sniper*

genuinely cannot remember her name rn and bg3 keeps crashing when i try to launch it again - fighter dark urge. going to be evil-leaning but more in an uncaring self preserving practicality way of siding with the more powerful in any situation. enjoying the violence sure but its more abount keeping herself alive so that she can find out what happened to her and tear apart the person who fucked her over. hence her helping minthara. thats definitely the only reason

ash - bhaal's prettiest princess is having the worst fucking time of her life. tiefling druid of spores so she's getting bullied from both sides in act 1. everywhere she goes its like i can hear her just saying "this sucks i hate this". shes already so sick and tired of this adventure but the thing keeping her going is sneaking glances at karlach outta the corner of her eye every 5 seconds

don - this guy is a remake of a previous durge guy that i made bc the previous durge guy i suddenly realized looked far too much like the american biblical jesus christ from the bible and i had to get rid of him. he's gonna romance astarion bc ive heard so much about durge/astarion that i gotta. oh and an oathbreaker paladin

sora - dark urge monk. honestly half my reason for this is my friend mentioned a dragonborn monk tav he has and i in my head was like fuck now i wanna do one. ive been wanting to start a monk playthrough for a while now anyway and now i have her :l laezel gets to kiss a red dragon now <3

ta'lia - draconic sorcerer gith cause fucking of course you gotta do one. idk where im even going with her other than kissing laezel

jinx - ex-angsty bard/fighter multiclass. based off a dnd oc i had 3 years ago but specifically my post-scene-era version of jinx. prolly gonna romance karlach cause god knows she loves a tough woman

jace - i dont have much to say abt this guy. he's starting as a sorcerer but he's gonna be my attempt at a jack of all trades character. might make him romance gale just for the sorcerer wizard dynamic and also theyre both disaster human guys

[name unknown] - this little fucker is a rogue bhaalist military asset and a danger to public safety. gortash hsd deployed reaper drones equipped with missiles to take her out. this pink tiefling bard has zero regard for human life and in fact takes extremely unnecessary pleasure in gutting ripping tearing bloody murder. she's so fucking nasty and evil in a silly way

im gonna get a screenshot of all my tavs and durges in one post
