My summer wips part 4 - Even more DnD
Meet Caesar, a tiefling version of Setzer from ff6. He's a homebrew Summoner class and please do ask me about him I have a whole PowerPoint at the ready
What's hard about these: absolutely nothing! I sketched these during dnd sessions and they're to get me happy and distracted from the difficult posters I must draw
Difficulty level: none. I do need to finish that traditional one by the end of September though
Disclaimer: Im going to tag these with #Setzer Gabbiani this once, then it'll be just #Caesar Larus. I want you to know he exists and I definitely want to talk about him if you are interested, but I'm not going to spam the ff tags

Old Amazing Cheese Au Idea: Amazo guy comes back and meets Dr. Two Brains, they both recognize each other but are clearly different people now. Wordgirl knows about their past from what she remembers of what Steven shared to her before, so she tries to help both Amazo and DTB get back together.
but in the end they all know that Steven Boxleitner will never fully return, so Dr. Two Brains goes berserk and goes on a big cheese crime scheme and tells Amazo Guy and Wordgirl off that: They are never getting Steven Back. and as Two Brains thinks he gets the last laugh, Amazo guy says " fuck it." and joins DR. TWO BRAINS IN THE VILLAIN SIDE OF IT MEANS STILL HAVING A BIT OF STEVEN OR AT LEAST TRY TO LOVE THIS NEW HIM. and they both be gay do crimes and Wordgirl is flabbergasted. I'm done this prolly doesn't make sense, but I've had this idea for a long time now

"Three dimensional men these days are honestly so weird..."
DASH GAME ┊accepting.
❝ Hey, hey Niko, guess what we got! ❞ the reaper chimed as he held up two sheets of paper in his hand. He really had only filled out the thing for the fun of it, and he hadn't thought there would be any legitimate response to it. Apparently, he was plain wrong—some poor soul actually wanted his attention. Randel couldn't help but snicker to himself as he looked at his own sheet that was returned to him, his other hand holding out the corpse's in order for him to claim his.
Based on the boxes that were filled, the white-haired man could tell it was some sap he didn't know. Then again, he only 'knew' three people. He continued to laugh to himself as he looked over contents. Ah, this loser filled out the safe half—the boxes that were not as high tier on his criteria for a proper partner (not that he was even looking to begin with). How could he possible consider some loser gal who wouldn't let him stab her, even more so because she'd die in the blink of an eye?
At the sound of his name, the living corpse looked up. Seeing a sheet of paper held out to him, he took it from the other's scarily bony hand. Niko cast a look over the contents and realized this was the thing that everyone had filled out as part of some game or the other. Honestly, he just put down the first things that came to mind when coming up with the type of girl he liked.
Seeing that she had filled out a good number of the boxes, Niko felt a little relieved, especially upon seeing the one with that boundary concerning blood offerings. However, he couldn't see the girl as a potential partner based on what she didn't fill out. Not to mention, a different face kept appearing in his mind too.
Casting a glance over toward the forgettable face in the distance, Randel shook his head and crumbled the filled out bingo card in his hands, ❝ Not sorry kiddo, you ain't good enough to be on my level. But who knows, I might try bullying you sometime, haha. ❞
❝ Don't be rude! She just filled it out like she was supposed to, ❞ Niko retorted in the exorcist's direction, nearly sending daggers his way with a subtle glare. This guy had so many bad vibes he wasn't sure if he could handle possibly being associated with him, let alone allow this innocent girl to get involved with him. This guy did not read as good company or remotely trustworthy.
Stepping away from the other, Niko approached the girl with a wry smile. He sheepishly placed a hand on the back of his neck as he gave the petite girl an answer, ❝ Sorry on my end as well, but I'm not really looking for a relationship right now. ❞ Still, he didn't want to completely shut her out, ❝ but I don't mind being friends if you want to still talk. ❞

Okay I'm almost done with Fellowship, here's an incomplete list of shit I noticed and thought was buck fucking wild on my first ever read-thru: medieval edition.
In literally the second line of the book, Tolkien implies that Bilbo Baggins wrote a story which was preserved alongside the in-universe version of the Mabinogion (aka the best-known collection of Welsh myths; I promise this is batshit). This is because The Hobbit has been preserved, in Tolkien's AU version of our world, in a "selection of the Red Book of Westmarch" (Prologue, Concerning Hobbits). If you're a medievalist and you see something called "The Red Book of" or "The Black Book of" etc it's a Thing. In this case, a cheeky reference to the Red Book of Hergest (Llyfr Coch Hergest). There are a few Red Books, but only Hergest has stories).
not a medieval thing but i did not expect one common theory among hobbits for the death of Frodo's parents to be A RUMORED MURDER-SUICIDE.
At the beginning of the book a few hobbits report seeing a moving elm tree up on the moors, heading west (thru or past the Shire). I mentioned this in another post, but another rule: if you see an elm tree, that's a Girl Tree. In Norse creation myth, the first people were carved from driftwood by the gods. Their names were Askr (Ash, as in the tree), the first man, and Embla (debated, but likely elm tree), the first woman. A lot of ppl have I think guessed that that was an ent-wife, but like. Literally that was a GIRL. TREE.
Medieval thing: I used to read the runes on the covers of The Hobbit and LOTR for fun when I worked in a bookshop. There's a mix of Old Norse (viking) and Old English runes in use, but all the ones I've noticed so far are real and readable if you know runes.
Tom Bombadil makes perfect sense if you once spent months of your life researching the early medieval art of galdor, which was the use of poems or songs to do a form of word-magic, often incorporating gibberish. If you think maybe Tolkien did not base the entirety of Fellowship so far around learning and using galdor and thus the power of words and stories, that is fine I cannot force you. He did personally translate "galdor" in Beowulf as "spell" (spell, amusingly, used to mean "story"). And also he named an elf Galdor. Like he very much did name an elf Galdor.
Tom Bombadil in fact does galdor from the moment we meet him. He arrives and fights the evil galdor (song) of the willow tree ("old gray willow-man, he's a mighty singer"), which is singing the hobbits to sleep and possibly eating them, with a galdor (song) of his own. Then he wanders off still singing, incorporating gibberish. I think it was at this point that I started clawing my face.
THEN Tom Bombadil makes perfect sense if you've read the description of the scop's songs in Beowulf (Beowulf again, but hey, Tolkien did famously a. translate it b. write a fanfiction about it called Sellic Spell where he gave Beowulf an arguably homoerotic Best Friend). The scop (pronounched shop) is a poet who sings about deeds on earth, but also by profession must know how to sing the song or tell the story of how the cosmos itself came to be. The wise-singer who knows the deep lore of the early universe is a standard trope in Old English literature, not just Beowulf! Anyway Tom Bombadil takes everyone home and tells them THE ENTIRE STORY OF ALL THE AGES OF THE EARTH BACKWARDS UNTIL JUST BEFORE THE MOMENT OF CREATION, THE BIG BANG ITSELF and then Frodo Baggins falls asleep.
Tom Bombadil knows about plate tectonics
This is sort of a lie, Tom Bombadil describes the oceans of old being in a different place, which works as a standard visual of Old English creation, which being Christian followed vaguely Genesis lines, and vaguely Christian Genesis involves a lot of water. TOLKIEN knew about plate tectonics though.
Actually I just checked whether Tolkien knew about plate tectonics because I know the advent of plate tectonics theory took forever bc people HATED it and Alfred Wegener suffered for like 50 years. So! actually while Tolkien was writing LOTR, the scientific community was literally still not sure plate tectonics existed. Tom Bombadil knew tho.
Remember that next time you (a geologist) are forced to look at the Middle Earth map.
I'm not even done with Tom Bombadil but I'm stopping here tonight. Plate tectonics got me. There's a great early (but almost high!) medieval treatise on cosmology and also volcanoes and i wonder if tolkien read it. oh my god. i'm going to bed.

Accidental sugar daddy sy au (see @sunderwight for the harem version)
LBH has a douyin account where he makes food from cartoons, webnovels, comics.
He does 2 versions per food: one that's as accurate as possible and one that's actually good
SY is obsessed immediately. He leaves tons of comments and when he finds out through research (e-stalking) that LBH is just barely scraping by financially, SY starts sending him money with... Messages.
"The meal from x novel was great, especially the dessert." (The dessert was extremely phallic shaped. SY liked it bc it didn't use the literal low hanging fruit of a banana)
"X drink is perfect. I'd love some of that." (LBH's cheap blender had an accident, the lid popped off, he got sprayed and it looked like a cumshot. SY just really loves creamy lychee beverages.)
LBH starts privately sending his sugar daddy extremely suggestive videos. SY thinks they're bloopers, meanwhile boiling his frog on his attraction to LBH.
After SY just directly sends LBH an expensive video camera, LBH offers to cook for SY in person. (He's pretty into SY at this point, but he wants a face to face discussion and hopefully a contract before actually pimping himself)
SY is the best host and great to cook for, but he misses all of the sexual suggestions and when LBH suggests a contract, SY is like "oh good idea, one of my brother's friends is a contact lawyer, let's get you set up professionally. You made an LLC for your account, right?"
At which point LBH realizes what he's dealing with and decides his career goal is wife. (Phrasing taken from thefeelswhale "Tongfang")
