DnD Adventure 22 - Moss Edition
Shades was tired so you get me instead!
Half of us aren’t here so Dans, Undyne and Cam just got eeby deebyed
“Oh shit… everyone’s gone” -Dess, still slightly cooked
Frog: Now what?
Dess: We’re gonna go kill Dans’ fuckbuddy I guess
Frog: …what’s a fuckbuddy?
Tori: No-
*wheezing*
Charaty is dying help
Discussing whether we should talk to Steve or just kill him
“Murder is wrong” “Only if you get caught”
Suzy wants her own dick club and Tori said no >:( let her cook!!
Dess is approaching Steve!
“Hey do you deal in curses and dark magic? Are you, perhaps, a stupid motherfucker?” DESS STOP
He says he doesn’t know anything. Insight check for Dess! It’s a fucking nat 1! She leaves.
“He does fuck Dans a lot” “HE WHAT!?”
Undyne’s not here with Soupnik so now what?
Dess really wants to kill Steve lmfaooo
We’re going to the inn! Frog wandered off because of course they do
Side quest time!
Dess asks another adventuring party to move so she can see the notice board. A fairy turns around and tells her to go shove a stick up her fucking ass. She pulls out the dick club. Fairy is confused as fuck we’re going great
Dess calls him short and he tries to challenge her to a fight. His friend, a centaur, stops him and pulls him away
Dess reads the notice board! There’s a green dragon a while away. Dess tells Tori and Suzy that they should go fight it and asks the fairy and co (Magpie, btw) if they wanna come. He gets mad because they were already gonna fight it. She calls him little. He says he’s not little. She tells him to say that to her face, so he flies up and punches her in the face, so Dess grabs him and swaddles him like a baby. The third group member, a goblin, finally turns around and agrees to come with them.
Time to find Frog! They’ve been busking :] they got 24 gold they’re so proud of themself. The centaur introduces herself as Tymeneus and says the goblin is named Stags.
Off we go!
Tymeneus asks how they started travelling together and is very confused lol
We’re here! Tori rolled a nat 1 on investigation and looked directly into the fucking sun. We’re doing great
The dragon is here!
“Holy shit that’s a dragon” -Dess
Dess then tries to flirt with it but Magpie shoots it with his longbow! Goddamnit Magpie
Suzy attacks because of course she does! She does a whole 12 damage! Roll initiative
Tori uses lightning bolt! Unfortunately Suzy was directly in front of it so she also takes damage. The dragon is judging Tori lmao
I am bad at notes esp during combat um it’s shit lol. Also it’s judging Dess for the penis club
FROG JUST DIED!? I’M???
Undyne shows up and kills it! And then immediately goes to help Frog
They’re back! Just like Frisk fr
Undyne bear hugs them because holy shit. Tori reminds her to be careful, trying not to cry while Frog just has a thousand-yard stare and then starts crying my poor child :( Magpie is judging Dess for antagonising them when the kid just started crying
Undyne is trying to comfort Frog gaaaah. Dess pipes up and asks Tori what Dans is gonna do when he finds out Frog died. Instant lightning bolt. Undyne hands Frog to Tori ;-; 
Dess introduces the other group and says they’re part of the ‘Dick Club’ now. Undyne is pissed because this isn’t the time for jokes. Dess says that’s the name and that Suzy agrees. Suzy tells Dess to shut the fuck up and joins in on the hug. Tori gives Undyne a look and she kinda sighs and picks them up in a bear hug and Dess leaves.
Undyne puts the group down and talks to the others. Magpie seems to recognise Undyne. She does Not recognise Magpie. Tymeneus heals Tori and Frog and the gang leaves. Undyne checks on everyone and admits that took a toll on her as well. Emotional vulnerability?
Anyway, they head back to town to get a room so everyone can rest.
And then we talked about Undertale!

the topic of Helpy makes me go insane /pos like I have this headcanon that William/Springtrap just, DESPISED Helpy because William took heaps of pride from the Funtime line of Animatronics, he saw it as his son's crude mocking of HIS creations, when in reality its just Michaelangelo S Afton trying to use humor to once again cope with the horrors™️ Like I've probably said this here before but I headcanon that Helpy found his way into the PizzaPlex's marketing is because after the FNAF6 fire he just was under the rubble remarkably preserved or something and instead of going into the RockStarRow Museum, the FazExecs had dollar signs in their eyes and were like "yeah, that one will make us bank, ong" Ive also probably said this (bad memory sozzz) but a headcanon to go in tandem with that headcanon, is that Glamfreddy sighs in resignation whenever he passes by one of those Helpy monitors (he wasn't paid royaltys <//3 ) AND LIKE I GOTTA KNOW WHAT (glam)MIKE WOULD THINK OF THE ENTITY THAT IS SATAN DISGUISING HIMSELF AS AN AGENT OF LIGHT (Helpi) WOULD HE FEEL SAD? ANGRY? AT THE MIMIC? THE COMPANY?! please the topic of helpy is so interesting PLEAs-
#fnaf#michael afton#five nights at freddy’s#glammike#glamrock freddy#helpy#fnaf helpy#fnaf helpi#uhhhh glammike is like in every single one of my Fnaf AUs so uhh#something something the ghost hunters in the pizzaplex somehow see the original helpy figure from the fire in RockRow#it just showed up (but they dont know that shhhh) so they initially pass by it but then like idk their EMF readers spike their so like#they decide to do a spirit box session next to it#uhhhhhhhh idk maybe michael's spirit can just move throughout the PizPlex and it just#idk makes freddy hard shut down#blah blah they get lots of answers they dont have a clue about but stuff the seasoned lore expert knows#yk for that ghost hunting au maybe Michael's spirit just follows the sam and colby wannabe's thru the PizPlex#yk how like conversing with spirits just kind of wakes them and stirs them?#Yeah Michael spent his life and unlife trying to not do that so like#hes trying to be as directly vague as possible (does that make sense lmao) like hes giving them direct answers right#like “yes” “no” but so direct to the point that theyre boring so that they dont want to prod more#what does this have to do with helpy specifically shhhhh let me write my entire AU in the tags#anyways blah blah “freddy why do you like that weird pink and white bear?”#“hes my son gregory!

We need more re:zero fanfics that are just characters being forced to go to therapy. Subaru is ordered by the Royal Knights to attend weekly sessions (that secretly double as interrogations, though due to patient confidentiality the therapist is only able to pass on information that regards other people being put in danger) and the therapist stumbles out of there every week needing a drink because trying to make something coherent out of a conversation with Natsuki Subaru concerning anything related to his fluctuating emotional state and the very obvious/mysterious trauma underpinning all of his actions is practically an Olympic sport — and that was before unearthing his self-harm habit, severe inferiority complex, and what may be suicidal tendencies. Reinhard is so emotionally repressed that he’s refusing to let himself feel anything even regarding having to face off against his grandmother’s corpse and his superiors keep walking back the meager process any sessions manage to make. Otto seems perfectly normal and then he mentions being willing to die for Subaru’s sake as soon as three days after he met him. Ram just sits there glaring for the full hour and a half. Wilhelm uses the time to express his latest revenge plot in very well thought out detail. Heinkel is such a horrible mess that I can’t even make a joke out of what he’d do to that poor therapist’s emotional state. Roswaal doesn’t seem to realize what therapy IS. That poor therapist is in Hell.
anon ive always wanted to see something like this for sure HAH its just such a fascinating idea?? especially when 99% of people in the rz cast desperately need extensive therapy 😭😭 but yeah theres different ways you could take an idea like this and the conditions you set are really interesting.
the idea of it being a therapist appointed by the government, essentially, who’s also there to gather information (but keeps at least some details hidden for the sake of their patients) so the government can keep a leash on certain characters (subaru and reinhard particularly) + subaru is still locked by rbd taboo of course is so fascinating to me. of course—is it ideal conditions for therapy? hell no lmao 😭😭 but its a super good in universe explanation as to why theyre getting therapy (other than all of them being Mentally Unwell)—and given the therapist and everyone in the cast minus subaru and al are working with medieval knowledge, the odds were not in their favors anyway oops. and this is assuming that the cast has the BEST THERAPIST IN THE FANTASY WORLD POSSIBLE for this!! haah theyve got a real difficult job ahead of them.
and also an idea like this is difficult to write. ive always wanted a “rz cast goes to therapy” fic hah but writing the FULL cast is tricky!! tbh id feel bad not including at least a good chunk of the cast in a fic like this given SO MANY of them desperately need therapy. and this idea is Extremely character focused—you have to know every character’s intimate traumas and flaws and personalities to pull this sort of thing off. its inherently in depth character exploration, and depending on how Good you want the therapist character to be, youd probablyyy have to do at least a bit of research (??) (unless you have personal experience in this department already??) there on. how to write a therapist? but thats just me getting fixated on the practical aspects of this wkdndn this is definitely why we havent really seen much fic on this sort of idea yet. i think itd work really well as a collab though, possibly!! you can devote a therapy session to one character per chapter or something and mix it up later the further it goes on <3 or at least thats my idea for this at the moment. i think one therapy session per chapter would be very good leadup though in a Hypothetical Fic about this, and you then have the time to explore each character in depth and introduce each of them!!
ok as for the examples you gave anon—HAH yeah thats a good summary for sure 😭😭 again, this is interesting because these are Not good conditions for therapy.
they all think with their medieval knowledge. subaru cant talk about rbd and everything related to it, which is his biggest core trauma. reinhards superiors dont want him to improve because hes their perfect malleable obedient weapon right now and they chose to break him like that. they probably wont want heinkel to improve much either, given theres implications that people like russell fellow purposely helped make heinkel Worse (such as the false rumors that he kidnapped one of the royal familys kids). and also regarding characters like heinkel—he wont improve if he doesnt get some sort of rehab on top of the therapy akdnd and he wont improve if he doesnt make an effort either. and also i know theres characters like petra who are way more normal compared to everyone else and shes not in dire need of therapy unlike everyone else, but id argue petra should at least have a check up because girl is a twelve year old thats been shoved into life threatening events recently okay 😭😭 AND the astreas are gonna need some hardcore family therapy wkdndn theyll just need individual sessions first to work up to that……… but will the kingdom really allow that to happen either?
yeah so the therapist is in for a reckoning in general 😭😭 with the plot you gave anon—if the therapist genuinely tries their best, this could result in some friction. the therapist hears out all these big important people related to the royal selection—roswaal, the astreas, various other emilia camp members, and people from other factions im sure (such as julius, joshua, ferris, crusch, etc)—but the therapist is held back from fully helping all of them because the kingdom keeps them all on a leash, including the therapist themselves. will the therapist succumb to what the kingdom wants and ensure they never improve past a certain point? or ensure they never improve at all?
it creates this overarching plot to an otherwise standard premise i think—and theres a bittersweetness because the therapist cant fully help them as it is right now. and its hard to help characters like subaru and reinhard who are Incomprehensible in their own ways. even in the fantasy world with its Wide Range of dangerous traumatic events tinged with magic, subaru and reinhard are absolutely outliers. plus as i said earlier, some characters Want to improve so badly and will try their best to do so (such as emilia) and some might not have much desire to even try (such as heinkel). everyone in the cast have their own goals, motivations, and a lot of them to some degree will be unreliable narrators either purposefully or accidentally or unwittingly. the otto example you gave anon is so true because i an SO sure his ass would pretend to be normal bc he doesnt want to be there only to accidentally reveal hes not 😭😭😭 joshua is another good example bc of his hate love relationship with his brother and how he tries to conceal it by gaslighting himself into worshipping his brother’s every move and trying to live vicariously through him (joshua also hates reinhard too but pretends not to so theres that too) 👍👍👍 and also emilia and reinhard are examples of characters whove been taught the absolute WORST lessons in the world so youd have to get into unravelling that 😭😭 like theyre both afraid to be closer to others out of fear of hurting them, they have issues regarding what people see them as and what people expect them to be, learned powerlessness, terrible father figures, guilt complexes, being blamed for things that arent their fault, also the fucked up family history, etc etc. there is SO much baggage HAH.
and again, the poor therapist is getting a bunch of rz main characters and crucial side characters—many of them are well known in some way, or important political figures, and they ALL got the most buck wild stories so the stakes are Very High😭😭 itll be a fun ride im sure!! but i do think this idea is super super neat. id love to explore each and every character and all their nuances—i think a fic like this would only really fully work if youre sympathetic towards everyone, but youre not afraid to get them for their faults too. wilhelm, heinkel, roswaal are good examples. clind too by proxy, given frederica needs to get away from his ass too (RAM ALSO NEEDS TO GET AWAY FROM ROSWAAL ISTG.) and again, a fic like this requires in depth knowledge of all these characters or the premise can fall apart a bit—this is a fic all about exploring their deepest traumas after all <3
but yeah anyway i too am in dire need of a rz cast goes to therapy fic anon!!! T^T thank you for the ask i will continue to think on this idea 🙏

#diana's music diary#good morning#i slept early#it was nice#very cozy#I only slept like 4 hours though cause I had to get up for a delivery... also I'm posting this a couple of hours after waking...#as is becoming usual for these... I've been kind of vibing to music pretty much...#anyway yesterday was good but so exhausting... played lethal company with friends like I'd said which was really fun!! was a little bit of#process getting my bearings in it since I'd seen maybe one second of gameplay before but after a day or two in game I picked it up I'd say!#I mostly just ran away when I saw something scary but I tried scanning a monster and it opened the door which made me scream once ahaha#after that I was a lil tired but we ended up having a session of the project moon ttrpg I'm in kind of out of nowhere#it was short but v fun to play Frei again he kind of completely shut down the distortion singlehandedly which was surprising considering he#has no combat capability.. incapacitated them and read its mind which helped us figure out what we needed to do to resolve the distortion#-peacefully! my partners character did the actual resolving cause Frei is terrified of going near anything as gross as that distortion was#(it was a giant gross greasy burger monster. who was just bob from bobs burgers. he ended up in a polycule with linda and teddy after.)#Frei also read my partners characters mind a bit and maybe upset him a little by mentioning his daughter (her character is divorced lol)#anyway yeah... I was tired after both of those so I kinda got in bed and passed out quickly while listening to music...#idk what I'll do today I'm a bit sore still and I'm v sick and tired rn so I'll probably just relax a bit...#let's make today nice and cozy and good... love u friends thank u for reading <3

some more korean festival talk lol
i saw a folk group (which I forgot the name of sorry) and they were really good and made everyone dance. honestly I was shook at one point bc one of the guys just started spinning on stage and then it was like he was flying I was just baffled and in awe watching it
then we saw the gg CSR which I didn’t know but they were really (too) fucking adorable. i was vibing with their songs while they were performing but I wouldn’t listen to them voluntarily, hope they gained new fans here tho bc they were really adorable
and ofc Onlyoneof which I just posted about (honestly they were hot, there were abs everywhere and it started raining during their performance so everyone got wet anyway *ahem*)
and freaking Paul Kim like goejrizjdkzb he was so fucking adorable with the public I can’t. It was raining quite heavily when he had to start his performance but he checked on us so many times, asking if we were ok (even in the middle of his songs he asked us several times if we were ok) and if everything was fine like glzbdkzbdk he was so touched by the public cheering for him so loudly despite the rain ;-; i think he stayed like 10-15min more than his allotted time bc he just talked to us the public so much like he came down the stage several times to shake hands, high five, take group pictures with the whole public and made hearts with fans and shit, he really was a sweetheart i loved him
and the best part was that the whole festival/concert was for free like excuse me? i saw all of that for free???? it was so cool i had a really great time there I want to go back in time and be there again

There was a stretch of a few centuries during which Dai Bendu was considered a lost language. The story was ancient now, relatively closer to the time before the Order than the present, but many remember it well, still. The documentation of the turmoil around that time was thorough (though notably without the Dai Bendu translation to this day) – one would think the world were to end very soon, from the amount of discord the embers of a language left behind – but, being the way they are, Archivists often neglected to mention how Dai Bendu’s death and subsequent revival directly contributed to their voice being respected enough to change things in the aftermath of wars.
It was what Obi-Wan’s leaned on for his autoanthro finals’ paper, after yet another year away from the Temple. It was, all considered, a rather cynical decision: he was catching up on an oversized even for him stack of readings, Kit’s and Nara’s smug attitude while directly contradicting each other’s findings were getting on his nerves, and he had just spent time sitting through three seminars on the Sith-Jedi war. He knew too much about wars at this point, he’d thought; might as well do something with the knowledge.
The first time he went to one of those seminars he wasn’t yet fourteen. It had required permissions from the master leading his Broad History course and his own master. Qui-Gon had grimaced at the question – Obi-Wan had asked him first, because he knew asking Master Rhamal would go smoother armed with Qui-Gon’s words – but his tone was careful when he told Obi-Wan, “You’ve signed up on a lot of extra duties, padawan. They do these every semester, you know.”
“A report on this would fulfill a quarter of my course,” Obi-Wan’s replied. And I could do it, too, was what he thought. I know enough already. I can finish this thing, and then move on, and continue to move on.
“So would doing the usual quarter of your course normally,” Qui-Gon’s countered. “Or a report on mollusc messaging. That’s also a seminar they have every semester.”
It was, in hindsight, a bit funny how Qui-Gon knew barely anything about Obi-Wan, except that he would get passionate about stealth signal relay using shellfish. The thirteen-year-old kid he was back then only felt a muted sense of indignation, overwhelmed by resignation. Not to Qui-Gon’s doubt, but to his own decision. It had all led to here, he thought then. It would all lead beyond.
The kind of villains teenagers build themselves to be…
“You do not care for the thought of war, of course,” was what he’s said to Qui-Gon, then, if he still remembers correctly. Qui-Gon hasn’t sighed – Obi-Wan knows now he probably desperately wanted to – but his shoulders have sagged slightly, softening him. The man was hardly ever threatening, threatening was a weapon he used sparingly and with great caution; One can never go amiss with a bit of surprise, padawan. But his shadow still dropped long and stark.
“It’s the ideal, yes,” was what he’s said. He’s given the permission, despite this answer, and asked about the seminar when Obi-Wan returned after.
The next time Obi-Want went, he was eighteen, and permission was no longer required. Neither was all the asking after. It’s never been, you know, Nhạ Kì’s said, once. The required skill here is to tell when a contract is with yourself instead of the world or the Force.
The decision was cynical, but Obi-Wan can’t deny Dai Bendu’s revival project was fascinating to read about. He’s told Nara and Garen that, and has gotten two swats upside his head for perfectly direct-opposite reasons. Nara has almost reached for her ‘saber when he said the word ‘ethics’.
“It! Is! The! Same!” She’s swung her datapad inbetween each syllable as emphasis. “We are! Direct! Descendants! Close your Force-cursed mouth,” she’s waved the datapad at him next, threateningly, “if what’s coming out of it is ‘conservation’.”
“That was an important part of the opposition,” Obi-Wan’s replied. He was paying back her smugness before tenfold, and he relished in her groan-scream.
He’s come down on her side already, of course; it was a big reason why he committed to the paper. Dai Bendu is theirs, it was taught and given to them to nurture and grow, and the fact that it was conserved, walled up to the point of dying away from their collective mind for a few centuries, was somewhere between a great mistake and a crime. Too, because Dai Bendu was – and is – how one communicates about the Force; it was built for that. It evolved around that. The Order’s paid enough tears and sweats for leaving such a tool dulled and forgotten.
The Dai Bendu revival project spanned eighty-six years, and a dictionary is nowadays revised and updated once every five years. It was one of the things Anakin was a bit apprehensive about, on his arrival, one of the first things Obi-Wan noticed that strayed from what was out-loud called fearlessness his padawan had been keeping up.
“I can do it,” his padawan has said. A nine-year-old, squaring his too-thin shoulders and his too-sharp jaw, facing a language he thought was standing between him and his dream. Anakin hasn’t seen many of what he deemed obstacles by that point; his dream has just been dropped into his lap, months before, and then he has been flying. Soaring.
If Obi-Wan were thirteen then, he would caution Anakin against simply doing, against the notion that strong will alone brings fortune. If he were eighteen then, he would laugh, at how big a language seemed to someone so small.
He was twenty-five. “I have no doubt,” he’s told Anakin. “Grammatically it bears logical relations to Basic, and if you learn enough of it some other languages will come easier as well. It’s very old, and holds many adventures.”
Anakin’s relaxed at his words – it was a victory Obi-Wan would remember for a while – before asking, “How old?”
“With recogniseable writing, around seven millennias.”
His padawan’s eyes have widened at that, and then narrowed. “Does it got a word for ‘tension relieve thruster’?”
Obi-Wan’s smiled. “’Uwoh’ha conwe’. Or ‘conrai’, but ‘rai’ is more a word for the Force than for machines.” At Anakin’s surprise, he added, “Usually, though, we call it ‘arai’ga’”.
Anakin’s crossed his arms. “Doesn’t sound like a, uh. Shortform?”
“You’re astute,” Obi-Wan’s said, and marveled a little bit at the levity of it. His smile’s widened, and he’s let it. “It means ‘nonsense’.”
Anakin’s shoved at him for the offense while he laughed. He’s often used that same word to poke at Obi-Wan since; despite that, Obi-Wan doesn’t regret giving it to him that early. It’s fun to grumble – it’s kept aces and mechanics from frequently slinging around much worse so far – and it’s a good precursor to looking at the Force through Dai Bendu. A lot of first-hand experiences with the Force are often talked about as arai’ga.
They’ve slowly learned, together. Obi-Wan himself hasn’t kept up with newer words too closely; he still calls text comms sho chuwa, to Quinlan and Kit’s great amusement. Anakin, thank the Force, learned from the beginning that it’s called k’oi. They’ve learned, words and structures and specific expressions, and-- limits. What Anakin felt under shields that dulled his Force contact, there wasn’t a Dai Bendu word for. The way he sees the world, with the Force there, ingrained and undeniable and unimaginable to Obi-Wan, daiwan can’t cover. Gak cha chutoh doesn’t ring true to meditation, because toh’s stillness hurts.
They’ve learned. Anakin’s felt the frustration Obi-Wan now knows well, and Obi-Wan’s felt the inadequacy he’s tried to unlearn. They’ve learned, and they learn, still,  and Obi-Wan writes things down, hoping Dai Bendu will learn with them as well.

my tags on the post i just reblogged got me thinking so here’s my current stream of consciousness
#i refer to ages 12-16 as my ‘church girl era’ bc that’s when i got really deep into christianity#like i went to church twice a week (regular sessions on sundays small groups on tuesdays) and to church events trips camps etc all the time#i even got baptized when i was 13 bc my siblings and i weren’t baptized as babies#like church was such a huge part of my life but i think it only became that bc of the specific church i went to#it was a nondenominational church and the environment was very chill for lack of a better word#and the social aspect of it was really what got me into the actual religion#i HATED going there when we first moved here bc i didn’t know anyone and i was so painfully shy#then in middle school i made a bunch of friends who went to the same church and suddenly it was so fun#that’s when i started going on tuesdays bc we would play games and have contests and stuff like that before the actual small groups#so it felt more like a club my friends and i were in than a church#but once i had those friends and i was comfortable being there i genuinely started to get more invested in christianity#bc i was actually paying attention to the sermons instead of just thinking about how anxious i was the whole time#so by the time i started high school i was very actively christian for the first time in my life#but somehow i drifted away from it just as easily as i fell into it#i started playing lacrosse when i was 15 and we had practice most weeknights so i couldn’t go to small groups anymore#and then our church merged with a bigger church in the area so we became a new branch of that church instead of a little community church#and the merger changed so much about the way the church operated that a ton of people just stopped going entirely including me#and it only took a few months for me to realize that i just didn’t really believe any of it or feel connected to it anymore#and idk even years later i still have love for a lot of those people and that part of my life#but it’s interesting how as soon as i lost that social community the church gave me i was completely disconnected from the religion itself#and at this point in my life i can’t see myself ever identifying as a christian again partly bc i just can’t get myself to believe in god#and partly bc of all the awful christians out there although i firmly believe there are still so many christians who are good people#for example my church was always accepting of the lgbtq+ community which obviously was and is super important to me#but yeah i just can’t see myself ever being religious again but at the same time i still find myself missing it sometimes even now#the community was clearly a huge part of it for me but it was also such a nice feeling to be so into the faith or wtv you want to call it#like i’ve always known my own values/morals ofc and i also love other forms of spirituality but actual religion is such a unique thing to me#like i don’t want to be christian again but i do miss the feeling of being christian/religious in general if that makes sense#and at least for me there really isn’t any substitute that can give me that same specific feeling which is honestly really sad to me#anyway. idk where i was going with this but if any former christians (or other ex religious people) want to weigh in i’d love your thoughts#lj.txt

The hermits keep complaining about storage so I wanted to show off my starter storage that so far has been absolutely enough and even has room to expand and I'm at level 18! I don't know how they have such trouble with this, but I also love sorting everything xP
