[overnighttosunflowers]

I saw a post earlier joking about how all the nines in the Mighty Nein will seem a little overplayed or heavy-handed to non-stream fans, which is true and amusing—like, have a bazillion nine-related things happen to a group called the Mighty Nein in a scripted show and it’s deeply heavy-handed foreshadowing; have it happen in a game of chance where the party name is a joke about dice rolls and you’ve got one of the coolest twists of coincidence in the world. (Side note, can’t wait to see how or if they even try to explain the party name in the TV show.)

BUT this also got me thinking more broadly about the challenges of adapting a game of chance into a TV show—how you keep those coincidences and lucky rolls, which are some of the very coolest moments in the campaign, from feeling like easy outs or lazy writing. Some of them seem easier than others—like, you don’t need to know how goddamn lucky the rolls were for the blueberry cupcake scene to be incredible, because it’s also such an incredibly clever beat—BUT. I’m thinking about Cad’s divine intervention in 140.

A zero-two. He rolled a zero-two. When fate said no, Caduceus said please. And it worked. Fate said okay, you can have this one. They’ve earned it. And it felt the way it did because it wasn’t just an inspired story moment. In a scripted show, whatever happens was always going to happen. But CR isn’t scripted. It was chance and fate and luck. It was a prayer that reached the Wildmother and that prayer was a d100.

And luckily for purposes of adaption, it’s a campaign—hell, an episode—that shows you the way divine intervention doesn’t always work. (Jester calling out for Artie, my heart.) So they’re well set up to keep it from feeling like a deus ex machina. But god. God. How do you replicate the feeling of that moment? Of knowing it‘s over, and then suddenly it isn’t?

[littlebosslady7]

The top is giving Vex and Percy.

The bottom is giving more Cad and Jester like Cad trying to explain a recipe.

Or Percy or Vex trying to make cupcakes for their kids' birthdays.

[waltwhitmansbeard]

ugh now i can't stop thinking about it so

what cars would the mighty nein drive?

jester: she's just what a 60s vw bug would be like as a person. bubble gum pink with giant yellow flowers. an antenna topper of a cupcake and a "the traveler is my co-pilot" bumper sticker in the font from the beginning of legally blonde.

fjord: a wood-paneled station wagon. just an absolute boat of a vehicle that all of the kids (re: the rest of the nein) can pile into. insists you can't have the aux but everyone routinely ignore him. no seatbelts, we die like mollymauk.

caleb: you know those tiny german cars that seem like they were built for children to drive? one of those, maroon but you can't tell if that's the paint or the rust, at least one missing rim, can't sit in the back seat bc it is piled all the way up to the ceiling with books and papers caleb swears he's going to read someday. the glove compartment is a hazardous zone. floor littered with coffee cups.

beau: no car, this lesbian daddy drives a crotch-rocket, bright red and obnoxiously loud. she parks it wherever she wants and throws the tickets away. no helmet, no speed limit, we die like mollymauk.

yasha: no car, prefers to walk everywhere she can. if she has to go somewhere long distance, she'll crunch herself into a cab or cling onto beau for dear life. she'd prefer to get a ride from fjord, tho.

caduceus: there is one (1) car for the entire clay family, a secondhand sedan they traded for on craigslist, but it's too small to actually fit everyone in it, and there's always arguments about who needs it most, so mostly cad bikes everywhere (also a craiglist find, the chain is rusted but it works well enough)

veth: soccer mom van. she pretends to hate it, insists she "cooler" than the vehicle suggests, but actually she finds it incredibly handy. everyone hates sliding around in fjord's station wagon so when she's on the group trip, everyone fights to get in her car. also her stereo is better. the back is littered with bumper stickers that veth just finds. none of them pertain to her particularly. if she comes across a bumper sticker, it goes on the car.

kingsley: also a motorcycle, but somehow louder and gayer than beau's.

essek: absolutely REFUSES to get in caleb's car, says "that's not how i'm going to die," this is a miata twink for sure, sleek black and fast as hell. hates bumper stickers but jester snuck on one that says "my child is an honor roll student at the solstryce academy" but "honor roll student" is crossed out with "professor" written over it and "child" was replaced with "boytoy"

(vox machina version here)

he's a tramp ~ jj maybank x reader

pairing: jj maybank x kook!fem!reader

warnings: slight language ig, mega fluff, not very edited like always ✌

notes: inspired by my fav Disney movie EVER, the first part to my Disney inspired series

He's a tramp, but I love him Breaks a new heart every day He's a tramp, they adore him And I only hope he'll stay that way

He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel He's a rounder, he's a cad He's a tramp, but I love him Yes, even I have got it pretty bad

"Let go of him, you can't just boot him!" you protested from across the room, JJ looked deep into your eyes and swallowed whatever he had just snagged off somebody's plate, security's arms still on him.

"I invited him here! I'm a member of this club..."

"Y/n..." your mother hissed.

JJ blinked and turned around pushing the guard off of him, "Sorry bout that-" Chaos erupted and he turned back to you, " Y/n, come on! Workers of the world unite! Throw off your chains!"

Your father rolled his eyes and grabbed your arm, "You can't hang around these kids."

"I'm sorry-" you tugged away from him running off.

"No, Y/n!" both your parents cried at the same time. You ran at JJ and he caught you in his arms spinning your around. Your midsummer's dress blowing in the wind.

"WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR GOIN'?" you heard Pope's dad yell at him as he, Kie, and John B ran out the other exit.

You turned to follow them.

"No, Y/n/n-" JJ grabbed your hand, "wait a sec, lets go this way..."

"But the pogues..."

"They're fine. Come on!" he ran in the opposite direction of the rest of the group and you reluctantly followed him.

You and JJ had a weird past, you used to think he hated you, the ways he would talk about how bad kooks were right in front of you. Or how he would complain when Kiara invited you that it was a pogue thing, but after a while, you grew somewhat fond of each other. Late-night drinks just the two of you were a common occurrence and the friendly bond got pretty deep. JJ talked to you about his dad and you talked to him about the planned-out future that was forced upon you. All and all, You and JJ had turned into a decent team.

You had walked into town, stopping at a restaurant.

"Tony's!" JJ grinned over his shoulder at you, making jazz hands at the sign. You waltzed towards the front door to get a look inside, it looked cozy. "Nah, this way Cupcake, I got my own private entrance..."

JJ walked around the fence to the back of the restaurant, there was a big dumpster, an alleyway looming in the distance and in front of you was a worn out picnic bench.

"Wait here," he whispered walking to the door, knocking lightly.

"Just one minute, Imma comin', Imma comin-" a voice called from inside. "Eh! JJ!"

"Hiya, Tony-" the big man scooped JJ up into a big hug and you giggled at his attempt to hug him back while getting the life squeesed out of him.

"Jay, where have you been! Hey Joe, look who's here!"

"Well, whatcha know? It's blondie!" Joe cheered. "And all dressed up, how nice, where did you come from Midsummers?"

Joe and Tony cackled until they cried, trying to picture JJ Maybank at Midsummers.

"Hey, Joe go fetch Jay some meatballs, yea?" Tony said, and Joe scurried inside.

"I was at Midsummers actually, it's a long story..." JJ rolled his eyes playfully, "Anyway, I brought-" JJ searched the shadows for you unable to see where you had gone in the dim streetlight.

"Oh look, he brought his imaginary girlfriend too," Tony quipped, once again falling into a fit of laughter with Joe from inside.

"Y/n!" JJ hissed.

You walked over to JJ and gave a meek wave to Tony, who’s eyes widened, "Nice to meet you, Jay, I should really get going-"

"OH JOE! LOOK, LITTLE JJ'S GOT A NEW GIRLFRIEND!" Tony cried in excitement.

"Uh..." you fumbled, not wanting to correct the kind man that you two weren't actually dating.

"Well, son of a gun! He's got a kook girl!" Joe laughed, poking his head out the back door.

"Get a double batch for the two, okay Joe!"

Joe sprinted back inside and you looked over at JJ with a questioning look, he smirked and shrugged his shoulders. Tony was a very large, plump man and he seemed a little older than his skinny little sidekick Joe. You watched Tony's playful interaction with JJ and grinned to yourself, you loved him. He was a pogue but shit, you loved him.

"Well, we's so grateful for ya Y/n," Tony smiled wrapping an arm around JJ's shoulder, "We know JJ don't got much goin' for him on the outside, but on the inside, he's got a biiiggg heart!"

You let out a genuine laugh and JJ looked genuinely insulted.

"I'm just kidding little Jay," Tony chuckled giving JJ a good slap on the back, hard enough to knock the wind out of him.

"MEATBALLS!!!" Joe called and Tony rushed you to sit on the picnic bench, you sat next to JJ on the side with no bird poop and watched as candles and flowers were placed on the table along with the largest bowl of spaghetti and meatballs you had ever seen.

"There ya go!" Tony placed some forks on your table, "The best spaghetti in town!"

You thanked him and picked up your fork, JJ had already started to dig in and was slurping his noodles, getting sauce all over his face. You laughed and stuck your fork into the bowl, spinning the noodles around the prongs.

"What?" JJ complained in mock offense, mouth still full.

You started to copy his actions, slurping the noodle swiftly into your mouth, the end of it catching your nose and spreading sauce all over it.

JJ started laughing too, "You got a little something-"

"Where?" you said, looking down at your nose and making your eyes go crossed.

"Right here," he swiped his finger across the tip of your nose, "Oh, shit, it's spreading-"

You laughed as he spread the sauce all down your cheek, tongue sticking out in concentration. You swatted his hand away and wiped your face with a napkin, still grinning from ear to ear. Sweet music started streaming from inside the Italian dinner, you lifted more noodles to your lips and craned your head to peek inside.

Your face suddenly got pulled to the side by the long noodle that JJ also had tangled up around his fork and your lips brushed softly against his. Sparks flashed through your body and you pulled away blushing, looking back down at the bowl. You both cleared your throats awkwardly.

JJ glanced over at you through his lashes and pushed the last meatball in your direction.

"You ate all of them," you mumbled, the kiss still lingering on your lips, not remembering having one single meatball and now they were all gone.

"I saved the best one for last," he countered. "just for you.”

“Wow. Thanks,” you replied sarcastically making him chuckle quietly.

“Y/n…” JJ started, “I uh- this. This wasn’t a joke to me…” he whispered the last part like it was a secret not wanting to be shared.

“What wasn’t?”

“This dinner, this night, the time I spend with you on a daily basis…” he continued rambling about different moments you thought you had shared but had never been addressed until now.

You felt yourself blush and a small smile played at your lips.

“I’m glad,” you said. He returned your grin, lips meeting yours once more. This time the kiss was intentional, soft but determined. He pulled away just as fast and went back to the remaining noodles in the bowl, smirking to himself.

The pogues were ecstatic after you and JJ started dating a few days later. Honestly, it was quite a shock to those who didn’t know you, but ever since that night the two of you were inseparable. Y/n and JJ, kook and pogue, lady and tramp.

Orym with Jester? On a different note, Ashton with Caduceus!

Jester is a slightly less stressful (for Orym) Fearne. The chaos is there, but she's more cupcakes and dicks, and less theft and confusing threats of violence.

That said I don't know that Jester would know what to do with an Orym. He's very serious, and not in a way that's fun to pick at (Fjord), or secretly just as chaotic (Caleb), or able to offer applicable life advise (Yasha, Beau, and Caduceus). Orym does like pie though, and they could bond through the shared love of sweets.

They'd be a menace to deal with in combat, Orym positions himself like a shield, and Jester skipped day one of Cleric school (do no harm) and runs on cat rules (take no shit).

I think they'd have the adult and their child relationship that fandom likes to think Nott/Veth and Caleb have; Sad Dad and Colorful Child.

(Also like Orym knows about Artagan which is adds a whole level of them pointing at each other over Jester's shoulder when she isn't looking)

---- Ashton and Caduceus is weird?

They're very different people, with goals and values that don't really line up well. I don't think they'd be intentionally antagonistic with each other but Cad likes projects and 'fixing' people which I don't think Ash would take well to. I think they'd have something similar to what Cad and Nott/Veth had going on, with the potential for more drama/conflict and butting of heads. In a group setting they'd be alright, but one on one I think it might get awkward.

Send me two CR characters and I’ll tell you what I think their dynamic in an adventuring party would be.

[willowbirds]

CR Game: gnome and paladin~!

gnome: who is your favorite male player

Probably Taliesin. His characters are all so different yet similar to each other (it’s hard to explain) and his character always feel so alive. He makes me emotional, he makes me laugh, and my favourite thing, he always has a banger line to throw out into the world. (Also his characters are so well designed I’m biased OKAY!)

paladin: what is your favorite friendship / paladin: what was your favorite badass moment (there’s 2 Paladin options and I don’t know which one you were asking me so I’ll do both)

Friendship: (I’ve only really watched c3, highlights of c2, and TLOVM so I’m going to pick from Bell’s Hells to be safe) It’s a hard pick since I love the friendships BH all share, but I really have a soft spot for Imogen and Ashton’s friendship. They don’t get a lot of solo moments together, but even when they are with the rest of the party their dynamic is still truly there. Imogen teasing Ashton about using his Titan form, Ashton teasing Imogen about her mind reading, Imogen scolding Ashton while still making sure he’s alright, Ashton protecting Imogen during combat, A: You’re a super hero. I: Ashton, you are so fucking special, DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN!!

Badass moment: Even though i haven’t watched c2, many of MN’s moments are stuck in my brain. I think the Cupcake moment gets a lot of praise so I’m going to praise Caduceus’ ‘I hope you will find someone to mourn you when you’re gone’. Like, THATS SO FUCKING COOL! Cad is a character that never raises his voice and is always as kind as he can be, so when he straight up tells Trent off it is so satisfying! He says it so politely and it ROCKS the table! So excited to hopefully see it animated in the MN animated series!

re: the rtgame themed keychain interest form - i was wondering what the difference between made-to-ship and preorder would be for you in terms of cost, time and production. i don't have a strong opinion on this, so i wanted to know what you think!

(also i know it's probably not the final design but your cupcake design is so. holdable. i love her so much)

First of all, this is my first ever ask in my past 7 years on Tumblr so I'm celebrating a new milestone 🥳😄 Secondly, to answer your question! Here's a very loose breakdown just to get an idea: If I were to make 50 of them, as a start and so I have a few left to absorb into B grade and sell at the local con this august, it would cost me 240$usd, which comes to 314$cad in my currency. (About 20h of my minimum wage job, so it would cost an entire week's worth of work to cover) There's also the costs associated with shipping materials, packaging and stuff but since it's my first time I'm sure people would be understanding if it's not the prettiest :') If they were made-to-ship, I'd have to first absorb the cost and then hope to make it back by selling them. If they were preorder, I'd have the money in advance so I wouldn't have to cover the cost myself. I'm lucky enough to not have big bills to pay, so I could theoretically handle the cost but I guess the advantage that comes with preorder is that I know precisely how many I'd need to make and already know who would want one. I could make a new form regarding that but people have a tendency to talk the talk without walking the walk if you get me haha

But whichever one it ends up being (probably made-to-order since it seems to be winning the poll), the shipping costs will have to be covered by the person buying the keychain Which I do feel guilty about but hh,, canadian post is cruel Sorry for the long post! And thank you so much for the interest and kind words! That applies to everyone else who also replied, voted on the poll and shared! Love you guys 💕

Christina and Dakota head canons on how they grew were they close did they fight a lot yea know did they have they siblings rivalry 

AHHH! Love the Ranger asks! Keep them coming! :D

Since both girls grew up on the air attack base after being born and their parents now firefighters, Piston Peak is the only home they know. They are born a year apart from each other.

Unfortunately after Kate's accident, Blade is overprotective of both of them. So, they're restrained to the base as they grow. This becomes harder once they grow a little older, since they both want to try and learn how to fly. Especially Dakota. She always dreams of flying just like her father. She would always make an attempt to try and escape the base, only for Blade to take her back and scold her for leaving.

By the time they're 7 and 8, Blade slowly begins to calm down with his overprotectiveness and lets them go out occasionally. Sometimes he'll take them out when he goes spot fire scouting so this way they can learn what to watch out for if they have to do it alone. He also teaches them how to fly and how to avoid downdrafts.

Of course though, this didn't mean they wouldn't misbehave at times. While they are calm, much to the relief of everyone including their father, they needed to be disciplined. Sometimes they would wrestle together, or even have little fights which would mean pulling each others rotors, pushing each other down, or simply just running around and chasing each other. Blade didn't mess around. Both as a fire chief and a father, and he certainly wasn't going to let his girls get away with that. Luckily, they didn't need anything more than the occasional swat or time out, since they always obeyed his orders and commands.

Now personality wise, they’re different. Christina is the chill and calm one. She tends to forget what’s in the past and focuses on the present. She easily forgives anyone if they do something on accident. Dakota on the other tire, however, is not so calm. She tends to pull a fight and gets upset over the smallest things at times. This usually happens when it comes to Cad and the lodge. One time one of the waiters spilled their tray of drinks all over her and she got upset. Cad tells her to stop acting like a drama queen, in which she tells him to shut up. Blade ofc was not happy with the altercation, and immediately disciplines his daughter for being disrespectful, and even takes her back to the lodge where she apologizes for her behavior. Blade isn't heartless. He knows the waiters have enough to deal with. And he's determined to make sure his girls are taught manners in public and in the eyes of their family.

Bonus! Time for some general HCs:

• Christina loves to bake. She can bake anything. From cupcakes and cookies, to large cakes and pastries, she's the head chef and anyone on the PPAA Team can confirm that. She can also whip up an amazing lasagna. Heck, she'll even grab Dipper at anytime that she's free to make a delicious dessert or dinner dish. As a bonus, they sometimes save these deserts for dinner after the team finishes their meal.

• Dakota was training all throughout her life to be a firefighter. Unfortunately though, a series of events occur, and she later on changes her career from being a firefighter to being an EMS Helicopter where she airlifts patients to the hospital. She wants to work in the city such as San Diego, but her and Blade have a few fights about it.

• Christina plans on enlisting for the US Coast Guard, where she wants to work in Search and Rescue. She wants to put her life on the line in hopes of saving others, just like the rest of her family.

• Dakota loves KPOP songs. Especially BlackPink. She loves doing stunts with the rhythms and beats. Eventually she finds a lot of albums and songs her mother released before she died. She holds them near and dear to her, though she never tells Blade. She hides them in a secure spot in her hanger, hoping he doesn't find out.

• Even though some might see Blade as neglectful, he's clearly not. Kate's accident really screwed him up. He's unable to look at his kids the same way. And Chrysler forbid he should go through tragedy a third time, he would nosedive into the Pacific Ocean and never return. He knows he can't take back the time he ignored his girls or didn't spend much time with them, but he's trying to make the most of what he has left before they get ready to leave the nest.

Unlocking the Secrets of GBP/CAD's Head and Shoulders Pattern Ever wondered what a Forex trading setup and a classic hairstyle have in common? Well, let me introduce you to the "Head and Shoulders" pattern. If the name doesn’t conjure up images of shampoo commercials, it’s because in the world of GBP/CAD trading, it’s more of a metaphor for catching the big moves – not exactly lather, rinse, repeat, but close! When this pattern starts shaping up, it’s like spotting a unicorn in the Forex jungle. The Head and Shoulders pattern is a chart formation that practically screams opportunity, if you know how to hear it. The GBP/CAD Conundrum: A Tale of Currency Lovers and Chart Patterns Before diving into the anatomy of the Head and Shoulders pattern, let’s take a moment to appreciate the GBP/CAD currency pair. This pair is like a classy duo dancing at a sophisticated ball—sometimes it moves in sync, other times, one decides to break the rhythm. For those trading this pair, understanding when the dance is about to shift from a waltz to a cha-cha can be game-changing. And that’s where the Head and Shoulders pattern takes center stage, giving you an edge, especially in ranging markets. The key here is not getting caught by surprise when the music changes. The Anatomy of the Head and Shoulders Pattern If you think about it, the Head and Shoulders pattern is kind of like trying to balance that third cupcake on your head at a party—you’ve got the two shoulders (the cupcakes you already ate) and then, in the middle, the head (the one you should’ve left on the table). This pattern appears as a peak (head) between two lower peaks (shoulders), and it can signal an upcoming trend reversal—aka your big chance to capitalize. Now, why does this work so well with GBP/CAD? Well, this pair has a tendency to fluctuate within defined ranges, and when it’s forming a Head and Shoulders pattern, you can practically hear it calling, "Ready, set, REVERSE!" Imagine GBP/CAD as a notoriously indecisive couple—when one partner finally decides on a direction, it’s wise to follow that lead. Spotting the Pattern: Get Your Ninja Glasses On Alright, traders, let’s get into the thick of it. Picture this: the chart is cruising along, minding its own business, when it suddenly decides to grow a head. Before you assume your broker has a sense of humor, it’s just the currency showing you a perfect reversal formation. The first shoulder forms after a rally, followed by a peak (the head), which goes higher than the previous peak. Then comes the second shoulder, which is generally similar in height to the first. If you’re starting to feel like you’re reading instructions to assemble furniture from IKEA—don't worry, it’s much simpler. As soon as that second shoulder appears, it’s game time. We’re watching for the neckline—a key level that, when broken, tells you the trend has officially flipped. Boom, there it is, your trading opportunity. The Neckline—No, It’s Not a Fashion Statement The neckline’s job is to be the dealmaker. It's the level that confirms whether this dance move is genuine or just a tease. Typically, once GBP/CAD closes below the neckline, that’s your cue to enter—with style, of course. And please, don't make the mistake of jumping in before the pattern completes. Imagine proposing before the first date—too soon, and it’s awkward for everyone involved. But here’s where traders get tripped up: some dive in as soon as they spot the pattern—eager beavers, I call them. Remember, patience pays. Wait for the neckline break before you jump on board, or risk ending up in the same boat as those unfortunate traders buying pet rocks as an “investment.” Advanced Tactics: Don't Forget the Stop Loss Speaking of pet rocks, let’s talk about protecting your investment—i.e., using a stop loss. Nothing says "I'm a responsible trader" like knowing when to call it quits. The Head and Shoulders is notorious for fake-outs, where the pattern doesn’t fully play out. To avoid having your trade end like an unwanted sequel to your worst trades, place your stop just above the head. It’s like insurance for when GBP/CAD decides to throw a tantrum. Oh, and let’s be clear—if you’re trading without a stop loss, it’s like bungee jumping without a cord. Sure, it could work… but why? The Psychology Behind GBP/CAD Moves At this point, you’re probably wondering: why does this head and shoulder mambo happen in the first place? Think of the Forex market as a massive playground. Traders are like kids on the swing set—when the swing gets too high, they get nervous and start to slow down, creating a peak. The first shoulder represents the cautious climb. The head? That’s pure market FOMO (fear of missing out), where everyone piles in, pushing it higher. The second shoulder forms as traders cash out, nervous about how high things have gone. Eventually, confidence drops, and the pattern completes, giving you the opportunity to shine. Expert Insight: Timing Is Everything Here’s a piece of wisdom from Forex trading guru John Smith (I know, classic name, but stay with me). John once said, "The Head and Shoulders pattern is where greed meets fear, and the trader who knows the difference wins." In GBP/CAD, once this pattern completes, it's almost as if the pair is suddenly exposed—the fears have come true, and traders act accordingly. Wrapping It All Up: Trading GBP/CAD Like a Pro If you’re still with me, congrats—you’ve unlocked the secrets of using the Head and Shoulders pattern with GBP/CAD. In a ranging market, this pattern gives you a roadmap to potentially big reversals without needing a crystal ball. So here’s what to remember: - Wait for Confirmation: Spot the pattern and wait for the neckline break. - Use Stops Wisely: Always place your stop loss just above the head. Treat it like a security blanket. - Understand the Psychology: Greed and fear are what makes this pattern work. Be the trader who understands the story being told. And there you have it—trading GBP/CAD with the Head and Shoulders pattern, sprinkled with a few jokes to keep things interesting. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated   Read the full article

Wait you watch Critical Role?!? Which campaign?? Who's your favorite! Tell me everything!! (full disclosure CR was my life for a good while there until YR happened so I'm not entirely caught up at the moment but oh well :) )

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Okay; now that I have gotten that out... I haven't actually ever "met" anyone else who watches, so this is very very exciting. This is probably going to be long, so enjoy 🤷🏽‍♀️

CR was my life too, for like years!! I am fairly behind right now, but in the process of catching up!! I was a bit behind, and then YR literally took over my life for like months and months and months (and totally still is 🫀) They are just about to go to the ball, so Episode 13 of Campaign 3...

I have almost seen all of it (with the exception of a few of the more recent one-shots)!! I actually named my puppy Zahra after Zahra from Campaign 1 🫀 I am assuming you have seen all or most of it too? Maybe you stopped around the same point as I did? If not, just skip the campaigns you haven't seen! (You'll see a theme with my favorite characters though 😂)

It is always so hard for me to chose because they are all just so fantastic (and I find my favorites change based on my mood), so I will just give you a little bit about my most favorites (I would also LOVE to hear ALL your thoughts as well 🫀)

Campaign 1:

Pike and Grog are simply everything. They make me laugh, they make me cry, they make me feel all the things.

Scanlan is just fantastic in everything he does. I knew what was going to happen with him, and it still hurt so much. Add him to the Pike/Grog combo and only the best things happen (or the most heartbreaking).

*Side note-one of my favorite scenes is when Grog and Taryon go shopping and run into the guards. It always makes laugh until I cry.

Percy will always be one of my loves. I can't help but love a truly fucked up pretty boy, and like he is just the most fucked up and the prettiest 😂

Campaign 2:

Yasha will also always be one of my loves for basically the same reasons as Percy 😂 She is a fucked up pretty girl, and I love them just as much as I love fucked up pretty boys🫀 And her and Beau just have my whole heart.

Fjord is just so thoughtful and caring, even though he also almost never has any idea what is happening 😂 I love him so so much!!

Cad has always felt like my internal hermit. Like, I will go out, and I just want to help, but also, it's only fun for so long. Also the giant, scattered family is so true for me. Although I am no where near as calm as he is 😂

Essek will also always be one of my loves, for just all the reasons 🫀

Jester might be me a little bit? She always tries to be a light for others, and yet sometimes, she is just so dark. Also the jelly fish, and the cupcakes, and the tarot...she is just everything!!!

Campaign 3: I feel like I don't know them well enough yet, but kind of love them all so far!!!!

I also saw that you watch Derry Girls; once again very exciting!!!

I would really love to hear your thoughts when/if you want 😀🫀

Time for another one of my long rambley posts about my day!

so i had a free block first thing this morning and usually I would sleep in during it but had to move my tutoring from yesterday afternoon to my free since I had a soccer game yesterday (btw we won against a team we have a bit of a rivalry with) but anyway that meant i spent that time working on my stupid history essay which thank fuck i didn’t have to turn in today

And as usual i now need to back up a bit and give y’all a bit of context, so the week before thanksgiving there was a minor queer hate crime (involving the writing of a slur on school property) that occurred so that friday before break there was an assembly about that that involved queer people talking about how the incident affect them and what not, but I opted not to go to that since there was a space for queer people who didn’t want to hear more about it and I already had 20 things running through my brain (one of them being the history essay) so anyway after the assembly that space turned into a processing space about the assembly and queer people could either go to that or their last class (mine being history) I was planning on staying in the processing space but then my ex showed up so me and a friend ended up hiding in the garage and having our own processing space since we both really didn’t want to go to class, I also used that time to get a less dysphoric soccer uniform

Ok fast forward to yesterday night and i’m struggling with my history essay and there’s no way i’ll have it done by the due date (which was like 5 pm today) so I decide to email my teacher and ask for an extension (I like never do that) and I list the reasons: I have a bunch of other school work, school soccer season just started and we have a really busy season, and I missed one of our work periods due to the queer processing space. This morning my teacher replied and was like ‘yeah sure since you missed a work period you can have until Monday at 6pm to finish your essay’

So anyway the one time that I’ve like ever skipped an entire class lead to me getting an extension and I don’t know how to feel about that...

Ok, next class was CAD and that was chill we just worked on our CO2 canister cars, mine is trans colored (: and we were trying to plan if we should use our final sheet of acrylic or save it for after the trial day and my teacher was like “If I give you another sheet of acrylic will it make you less stressed” and then he did, I really like that teacher he’s so chill but also like strict enough that your really should stay on task in class

Next up was lunch which was pretty normal and involved a lot of talking about crushes and tv shows and gay/gender shit which was fun

Next class was Japanese and we’re writing stupid personal essays at least they’re only 500 characters tho, and also that teacher is also really great and gave us plenty of time and we have to submit a couple of drafts so we’ll get plenty of feedback and that’s one of the few classes i’m not stressing about

Last class of the day was history and we just talked about the industrial revolution more also we debated about who’s gonna win the mock conference we’re putting on, the ottomans or the japanese (ottomans obviously, does japan have furniture named after it???)

Now after school this is when the chaos really starts

So yesterday was my best friend’s birthday and so my friend group gathered in an out of the way classroom to celebrate them, also they brought cupcakes and another friend brought really good snickerdoodle cookies, in exchange of the cupcakes we all had to agree to letting my best friend genuinely compliment us and we were allowed to talk back or deny it while they did it their compliment to me was really sweet since we’ve been friends since 5th grade but there was a bit in there where one/both of us were distant since we were dating my/our ex (at different times than each other tho) they talked about how it was really cool to see both of us change and grow (haha trans) and also basically called me a golden retriever but like as a compliment and as in I can make friends with most people and somehow light up a room, anyway get that many gay nerds in a room together without supervision and chaos ensues, along with a lot of sitting on tables

At one point my best friend stepped out of the room to give a compliment to someone who didn’t want it done in front of everyone and another friend was like ‘i wanna write “fuck you” on the board’ and so she tried to jump to do it and I was like ‘no, use a chair, actually way a table is taller’ and then we we’re like ‘A CHAIR ON A TABLE’ and so we did that and then another friend said at uwu so she ended up writing “fuck youwu” it was in the perfect position so that it can’t be seen from where the teacher normal stands in the classroom, after that (while my best friend was still out of the room) we noticed an eraser stuck up on the board near the “fuck youwu” so we had to use our chair table set up to get it down ofc, and then that turned into the baseball with the whiteboard eraser the the x-axis (pvc pipe with tape on it labeled x)

When my best friend finally came back I was just standing on the chair on the table and so i decided to jump down, and when I did the chair slid of the table mid jump so that was really fun (I was fine and so was everyone else) next the friend who was being complimented showed off their many legged cat that had a questionable leg in a questionable position, they wanted to show me the actual drawing since the tie they drew after wasn’t in the photo so they brought me into the other class room to see it and when we got back everyone was like ‘it was so quiet for a minute there’ and we were like ‘oh fuck off /j’

And then we had our next great idea, chair on table on table, and so ofc we had to do it after we got it all stacked up i volunteered to get up on it and my head was brushing up against the ceiling when I was standing up on the chair, a bit  later one of my friends sat on the bottom table and so the rest of us decided we need to make stack of people sitting on this, so that friend stayed there, another friend sat under the table, the person who wrote “fuck youwu” on the board laid under the chair and I sat on the chair, after we got a photo of our master piece we all started to get down, the person on the floor got out first but as me and the one laying under the chair started to get down the table on top slipped out and everything went down, somehow we all managed to avoid getting hurt and I think I might have even landed on my feet

Not long after that I had to leave for robotics, at robotics I spent the whole time helping a more senior member teacher newer members how to use the router, which was actually pretty fun and a good practice since it’s been a while since I’ve used the router myself

After that I went to my school’s play which was so fun, everyone did so good and I’m friends with like half of the performers, the play was clue btw, and everyone was matched so well with their character, it was really funny and like the actors really gave it their all and it was just really great, also funny thing about the actors matching their characters—my ex played prof. plum who’s basically a stuck up prick who thinks he’s better than everyone else so it was funny to watch them in that role and it kinda felt like they were finally showing their true colors (aka being an asshole openly rather than secretly and manipulatively)

I think the worst part about seeing the play that my ex was in was actually the part after the show because ofc I was complimenting everyone since I know them all and I’m friends with like half of them so avoiding my ex while talking to everyone else they preformed with was kinda hard, it was also really weird because the last 2 theater performances i went to they were the first person i ran to, also fuck me because seeing them in that purple suit and in their element kinda reminded me why i fell for them, anyway I also saw their parents while avoiding them and congratulating everyone else so that was awkward, but apparently I’m on ok terms with their parents since they asked me how I was doing and told me to say hi to my parents for them

anyway yeah i think thats my whole day

Also a kinda unrelated note but yesterday i made a comment to a semi-close friend about being done with dating for a while thanks to my ex and she was like ‘I don’t even know what went down but I’m on your side’ and like she’s not the first person to tell me that like I’ve had classmates who I’m not at all close with tell me they’re on my side/they’re proud of me for ending the relationship/’do we need to be mad at your ex now?’ and like idk it feels good to know I’m not the asshole here because like ofc my friends are gonna say I’m not the asshole but like yeah my ex isn’t the nicest to a lot of people, like if they’re not friends with someone they’re neutral at best towards them and they’re really closed in on themself so idk I guess I’m the one who gets the support 

I think the reason I’m friends with like everyone is because I manage to be both weird and normal at the same time, like I’m a jock and a robotics kid and I’m gay also I’m like a weird ass extrovert so I feel the most comfortable around the “weird” kids and I can make friends with quieter folks who most people might ignore but I’m also happy to talk to the “normaler” kids also like reaching out to queer folks, knowing robotics + soccer people and then having dated a theater kid means that I know a lot of people

*sigh* why do my posts like this always get so long and take like an hour to write

Compliments were everything and his mystery man had been giving them to him for weeks. It was different in person though. The flirting was different too, sweet and a tad awkward between the two of them. He’d beamed at the fact he liked his cupcakes, but being called sweet in such a sweet little way? Oh it had him smiling.

Izzy was just happy he could make him laugh about the situation. Stede had looked so upset, even moreso when he’d first started to laugh. He quickly learned he didn’t like seeing him frown. When he’d laughed about it he was relieved. He wanted to question more, ask him since when had he last naked, but since he seemed to stop and even close up he didn’t pry. He figured he’d tell him in time.

“ Well then I suppose it’s a good thing that you have a talented and iiiii—-iiiincredibly handsome neighbor that just so happens to know how to bake then. “ Izzy wasn’t confident about his voice, but he damn sure knew he was good looking. He wasn’t everyone’s taste, but he knew he was attractive. There was a downside to that though. All the stupid fucks threw themselves at you. And yeah — one-night stands were sometimes a damn near necessary thing, but his life was lonely. No one really tried to get to know the real him. It was all just about looks and there was nothing Israel hated more than a fake fucking person. He needed someone real, someone tangible. He wanted depth and complication in his relationship and life. He wanted to be loved. “ Maybe I could give you a baking lesson, sometime? I mean.. if you were into that sort of thing. “ Smooth, Izzy. He just asked him out in a very.. strange way, but the flirtation was there. He wanted the blonde to know he was absolutely interested. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t still be standing there.

“ Oh? “ He waited patiently but then took the letter with a practical cad of a smirk. That smirk dropped when he fetched the actual letter and started to read it. Fuck. Any sort of sexy, overly flirtatious mask simply dropped. That confident smirk drifted into a sweet smile, eyes softening as they traveled the page. Oh he was.. soft for him. He’d fallen hard for him and he knew it, over the weeks his fondness just grew stronger. .. and his sweet poem. He’d keep this little note, just like all the others. They’d go into the growing collection that were secreted away upstairs.

Finally, he looked at him. His voice was much softer now, sweeter. “ You know you might not be the best baker but you are simply an extraordinary writer. .. and I’m not saying that to get into your trousers, I just.. say it’s because it’s true. I have all your little poems and notes upstairs..—-“ FUCK. He just told him. He couldn’t believe it. He outed his own damn embarrassing secret and now he started to blush a brilliant shade of red. He looked down shyly, the softest laugh at his own embarrassment escaping.

“ You want to know something funny? “ Izzy slowly raised his eyes, and with his head tilted downward he was forced to look up at him through his lashes which gave him that demure, practical Princess Diana look. “ I don’t even like my voice. I couldn’t dare sing anywhere but my flat. But then your sweet notes just started boosting my confidence about it. So more and more I was just singing.. going out on the balcony so I could sing. “ Dramatic pause.

“ To you. “

The bookshop? OH! Brief flashes in his mind now played of various times he’d ran into him there and he’d smiled at the thought. And then when he bowed, and really really formally introduced himself, Izzy chuckled like a girl amused at a man’s desperate attempts to get her attention. But he found it cute really, and he wasn’t about to rain on the man’s parade.

“ Right! I really like it there. It’s nice and.. quiet. Cozy. I’m not really fond of those enormous chain bookstores. Plus, it’s a small business and as a small business owner myself I want to support those as much as I can. Plus, you have great coffee and tea. “

He supposed then he should tell him what he did. He obviously baked, but he meant for a living. Stede could have thought it something different. “ You know the bakery more toward south side, The Cupcake Fairy? “ Which hilariously was what he’d become leaving treats at this man’s door. “ That’s my bakery. “ He said proudly, chest out a bit.

Now were they flirting? At the moment they behaved a little like teenagers on their first date which was rather precious. But Stede kept talking, fussing about his cupcakes and looking an absolute mess. He figured he should intervene before the poor man dug himself deeper into a hole. “ You were making me cupcakes? “ The idea was terribly sweet. But he did laugh a bit. That’s what this disaster was? Oh my. It was extremely adorable, but he had to laugh. Maybe he could make him laugh too, make him relax.

So that was when he grabbed an oven mit again and opened the oven door, peeking in. He pulled the pot off of the little burned, roasted, and toasted bundles that hadn’t even risen properly to get a proper look, pulling out the rack, then looking back at him. He tried stifling his laughter. “ —Ah—hm.. “ Oh but he couldn’t, standing up. “ As romantic a gesture as this was? “ He stared at him with playful, pleasing eyes as he also playfully teased. “ Don’t try to bake for me again? Leave the baking to me. “

He placed the mit down and stood up with a smirk, again giving him what must have been the 20th time over as he sucked on his tongue. “ Good thing for you that I’m kinda partial to messes then. And my shoulder is fine.. can’t say the same about your door though. There’s nothing to forgive, you silly twat. “

The fastest cupcakes in the West.

May cause indigestion and a loss of credits.

perhaps some of my more. unorthodox fanart, but laura's awesome move on cr this week, along with how long it's been since I last baked something, made me spend all of today making some blueberry cupcakes.

also had to mostly improvise the recipe for the cupcakes, coulis and frosting because the internet gave me muffin recipes and I needed cupcakes. I did use some guidance from a raspberry cupcake recipe but it was. a lot of guesswork

which paid off bc they taste AMAZING!!

also I made dust of deliciousness from ground up silver cachous so it sparkles but you can't really see it :(
