can someone check on taliesin jaffe please. this is two campaigns now that he’s built a pc specifically designed to seduce liam o’brien and both times he’s gotten cucked by a cool-toned trust fund baby that wasn’t even in the main party

ashton: when i met you, i thought you were a spoiled soft clown

dorian: well. *awkwardly pretends to honk his clown nose*

marisha: Holy Shit.

drawing these two interacting is v funny to me but also, taliesin character and cool fantastical mobility aid user solidarity. (the cad one is a headcanon technically but . canon to me )

[ID: an ink and coloured drawing of Ashton and Caduceus from Critical Role talking to each other. they're both standing and Ashton is using crutches decorated with spikes while Caduceus has a cane grown from living wood like his staff. he looks sort of dizzy, with a spiral above his head. he's wearing a green layered outfit with a robe, loose trousers and sash. Ashton is wearing a black and red outfit covered in patched with combat boots. Ashton is smiling, saying "man that's a really fuckin' cool cane" to which caduceus replies "thank you. i grew it myself." End ID.]

An Ashton

[quinn-of-aebradore]

Something that really makes me feel insane about Ashton is the way a solid chunk of their arguments have always been that they’re Just A Guy. They’re nobody. They’re nothing. The gods never paid any attention to me, I don’t matter. I’m not special. And sure, with the information that was available early in the campaign, that was a reasonable conclusion for them to have drawn.

But now? When they know the powers that live inside them, powers that never have been combined before and likely never will be again? When several people have all independently pointed out how unprecedented their existence is? That basis for their argument loses all credibility. How many people on Exandria are walking around day to day with a fragment of a titan and a piece of the Luxon inside them? One. Ashton is a singularly unique being. “I’m nobody, I don’t matter,” bitch you’re the main character in a YA novel, calm down.

got bored again

Every time I sit down to draw Ashton I'm like "oh god their design is too complicated this is gonna be a nightmare" and then every time I actually draw them I'm like "oh :) that was fun actually."

From all the events of those days

Transcript & Bonus:

A neighbour notices the police

...

Charlie: [takes selfie with serious face] Got it ehehe. Look at that! Vincent: Wha-…is that you Charlie? Bleurgh this spit. Charlie: The one and only. Yah I'm gonna show this pic to Pam.

[It turned out that morning, the police came to update the case. My dad was confirmed as missing before we moved away and we did all we could to help then. Moreover, the corrupt officers disappeared too and were found working undercover at Gibbs Hill. So 4 people disappeared that year, although not simultaneously]

[There were no leads, so the investigation was closed. It seemed they truly did vanish into thin air. Loads of theories about their whereabouts were formed and whether they were linked. From all the existing evidence, it was concluded they had some connection to my dad…to me. I didn't want to think about it any longer]

[I was so glad Charlie came as well. He's the kind of friend that makes you forget all your worries] Charlie: [plays with Bella the dog] Yo I literally begged Dad to let me come too. I've not seen you in ages! Vincent: I can't believe you're here and it's crazy how long it's been. How are you Charlie?

Charlie: Urgh my cousins are so annoying. They both text me to complain about each other and I'm stuck in the middle, like what do I even say? I can't take sides [shakes head] Anyway, how's life Vince? Vincent: I'm a lot better, the countryside's great. And yeah I met the most amazing girl [talks about Nancy]

Vincent: What about you? [chuckles] I notice you keep real quiet about Pam when I call. Charlie: Mhmm…yeah about Pam…I'm dating her. Vincent: She already told me [gets playfully shoved and they laugh together]

...

?: [sees cop car in front of their neighbours] San Myshuno police? [walks to officer] Officer, may I ask why you are here in the quiet countryside? I hope nothing serious has happened to the Wilkinsons. Billy: Ma'am, we're only here to update the family on a missing person case. No need to worry, it's closed now.

Writer's note: I'm still trying to figure out how this will be solved. Strangerville is supposed to be next gen but it is also central to this...I'll think of something! That is why the investigation keeps being revisited or getting put in the archives for the future. I was going to add another pic, "Perhaps it was delusional thinking considering the cases linked but they may have disappeared voluntarily". So guys just allow it haha! It's obvious to you they are linked but not to them! No one outside knows a thing about Strangerville and its people, they leave nothing behind 👀

I’ve got ashrym in the brain lately, so not to get a bit personal here but it struck me a little while ago that one of the reasons I’m so fond of this ship is that as a gay he/they non-binary person (i just call myself a dude/guy/man because im lazy and not about to explain my whole gender experience lmao) having Ashton paired with a gay man just makes me feel so…. validated? seen? Idk it just feels good

I’ve gone thru so much self loathing and self doubt about not feeling like I’m allowed to claim the term “gay” to myself, seeing cis gay (transphobic) dudes online saying that I cant be gay because i’m not a “””man”””, it feels good to finally put my feet down and say YES i am gay and no one but myself can tell me who I am and who I can love!

So shout out to my fellow non-binary gays <3333

[milquetoad]

i think my problem with ashton is that the potential they have to grow as a character is contingent on being confronted on their biases and shortcomings, and that is simply not happening due to rp and campaign arc decisions, so they have just entrenched themselves in their little bubble of nihilism and self-centeredness in a way that feels like it’s holding the entire story back

imogen holding a blanket up for ashton and fearne to have privacy but then as soon as it looks like they aren't gonna come out any time soon she just drops it on top of them without warning
