Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

am I the only person waiting until I actually have my hard copies in hand before reading the short stories? I've been avoiding social media all day because I'm scared of getting spoiled...

Do you guys think about how Artemis is clearly meant to be seen as Melinoe's older sister figure? Like besides calling her sister, Artemis is very openly close to Mel (talking about things such as her relationships, their little jokes and jabs at the family and relationships - like Eris, Mel asking and Artemis elaborating about artenem drama). There's even the detail that if the encounter goes too long or Mel's low in health Artemis would toss her some gyros (i have gotten two in one encounter). If Mel returns to shadow during the encounter Artemis feels personally responsible for failing her. Guh. What a great dynamic we ought to talk of it more.

tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.

but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.

inside of you there are 2 wolves. one of them is listening to Regret Me on repeat. the other is crying in the corner because you’ll never get to hear “And Baby, when you think of me // I hope it ruins rock ‘n’ roll”

Sometimes I see the way certain people in a fandom treat a ‘tough love but well meaning and trying his best in the only way he knows how’ Dad and I can only think “You have a horrid relationship with your father, don’t you? 🫵👁️👁️”

Hi I got 84 in the last two weeks, starting to run out of food money. Absolutely no gas money to get anywhere but yknow. Maybe the temp agency I'm talking to will give me some tolerable job tomorrow and I can ask a bus driver to let me on for free. ("Not my fault if you get a ticket." has been a common response.)

thinking about black french people and the combination of racism and xenophobia they’re seeing on their TLs today.

thinking about how black argentinians must be feeling rn, witnessing as the world pays attention to a 1-min video’s reflection of how they’ve been treated at the hands of a white-dominant society and government for generations now.

thinking about the increase in violence we’re probably going to see against trans women (AGAIN) bc they’re being berated publicly by the champions of south america and their fans (AGAIN) and a lot of impressionable people unfortunately find that funny and acceptable.

thinking thinking thinking thinking

like damn, black people and trans people (and esp black trans people) really aren’t safe ANYWHERE huh???

okay for anyone who's getting into rift of the necrodancer who may not really know anything about the original lore of the game, in crypt's DLC, Amplified, there's a character in it named nocturna

as far as characters go she's pretty sweet, a cutlass wielding vampire who can turn into a bat for extra evasive maneuvers?? literally what's not to love abt her? and better yet, as a human, she was brown

admittedly from looking at images of her as a vampire its kind of hard to tell. and i'll be honest, her transition from human to vampire could have been much better in my personal opinion. especially in reference to the hair texture. but like okay. the majority of the details are the same. in closer up images she still has freckles, her nose and head shape is similar, her eyes are the same color. she's blue, obviously, but there can still be a case made that she's brown, if you know what i'm saying here?

BUT WITH THAT IN MIND SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED WITH HER REDESIGN FOR RIFT??

THIS IS NOT FUCKING NOCTURNA?? like. inarguably the design SLAPS i'm not even arguing that she doesn't look good she's just like. WHITE now. i mean she's BLUE but she's WHITE.

they changed her head shape, they changed her NOSE shape (which really fucking gets me), they gave her BLUE eyes instead of green, and even desaturated her skin tone?? and while a case could be made for the old nocturna's hair still being somewhat similar to her human variant, that argument can not be made for this one. that hair has never been coiled in its fucking life. who the hell is this. that is NOT nocturna.

it's so sad because i'm 90% sure that lots of people forget that nocturna wasn't white as a human to begin with, and i feel like with all the characters getting massive, modern day design overhauls this would literally be a perfect low stakes opportunity to actually fix the design to... better portray a brown human who turned into a (still brown) vampire

but instead, they made it worse to a degree that i couldn't even COMPREHEND until i saw it for the first time??

“can’t handle people multishipping like mature adults”

It’s clear our issue isn’t with multishippers. It’s with people who after barely any screentime and people bent over backwards to put this guest character on a pedestal and scream about how he should be endgame to the point of attacking the main actors of the show, touting headcanons made up by a guest star as canon fact, and generally harassing anyone who doesn’t like their ship. We’re the ones that apparently can’t handle multishippers but time and time again BT shippers have proven they cannot handle people simply not liking their ship - a very normal thing that happens in fandom. There’s a reason for terms like OTP and NOTP. Just because you multiship doesn’t mean one of those ships can’t be my NOTP.

speak on it anon !

on a more serious note tho, i have no problem with multishippers but u cant expect EVERYBODY to be a multishipper yk? like its not a crime to dislike a ship or a character.

My least favorite plotline that shows up in like every single piece of media at least once is the "surprise birthday party". Literally cant stand it. I hate surprise parties so fuckin much. Even worse when the surprise is for a "i dont like surprises/parties" character OR they go with the "everyone pretends to have forgotten their birthday" plotline like i HATE it so so so much makes me feel like a rabid dog i wanna rip it apart with my teeth

This is a part of Felix I really like. When it comes to Rodrigue, as long as Rodrigue is safe, Felix is his usually tsun self... but as soon as anything dangerous happens to him (in both games) Felix gets anxious.

It's a nice detail because it makes sense for him to feel that way after losing Glenn, and since this is in VW, he's also, presumably at this point, lost Dimitri. It makes sense that if something felt off about his family (i.e. Dimitri is basically his brother, thus family. Dimitri literally sees Rodrigue as his second father) that he would get uncomfortable.

What I love about it is how much it speaks to his real feelings. He can act uppity and vocal all he wants, but as soon as something happens to these people he claims he doesn't like or care about, it makes him antsy. For all the nonsense he talks about them, as soon as something happens to them, he struggles to accept it (such as why, in his AM advice box note, you have to tell him that that's just the way life is sometimes when he's grieving about his father).

For all of Felix's complaining about Rodrigue, as soon as Rodrigue suddenly isn't able to update him regularly or communicate with him during a war, he becomes uneasy. He's not suddenly grateful like oh finally the old man shut up. He gets nervous that they've suddenly had little to no contact. He's unsettled not knowing what's going on with Rodrigue.

I love this line because it's who Felix really is, without all the posturing. He'll act tough and angry in front of them, but as soon as something goes wrong, he wants to know what's happening. He's afraid of not knowing what's going on. He's afraid that the Kingdom could be in a bad situation, or worse for him, that his father could be in a dangerous situation.

If he didn't care about Faerghus or his father anymore, why would it bother him not to get updates? If Rodrigue was in contact with Felix despite Felix being in the Alliance army, Rodrigue obviously had no issue with that and still took the time and effort to remain in contact with him. Plus, if Felix says this now, it means they'd been pretty regularly exchanging information up to that point and it's just recently started to go quiet, and Felix is uncomfortable with that. He wants to know what's happening.

It's so rare that he acts like this, but when he does it's very powerful. It's sincere and genuine - something he usually is not. He hides his feelings about people if they're safe in front of him. If they're not in front of him and could be in danger, he's worried.

I just wish we had more lines like this because they're so good for his character and help to get him past the issue Houses often has with tropey aspects of characters being their entire personality. In Hopes it's handled significantly better imo, but before we had AG Felix we only really had crumbs of who Felix really was and the parts of himself that he hid from others.
