Peak character design is a cool ass jacket over a skintight suit

The way everything with Vyn boils down to "Do you trust my intentions? Do you trust me? I'd bleed for you I'd kill for you. Would you still accept me after everything I've done?"

And the most painful thing is, even if your answer is no, he'd still do it anyway.

so a thing about the "5e can do anything" mantra is. any tabletop RPG can do anything; but every RPG is also designed for a specific experience.

you can pick any rpg book and hack its rules away into whatever sort of adventure you want; but the result probably won't be as good as if you used a game properly designed for that

and there's this weirdly common sort of thinking that views D&D as completely moldable, and you can change or remove rules as you see fit, but the rules of other RPGs are set in stone, and one little thing you don't like is grounds for ignoring the entire system

for whatever you want to do, there's probably a good system for it - but also, any RPG can be altered if it's not quite what you're looking for

why is it that whenever i post about jack kelly the post pops off

There's anything that TV tropes taught me, it's that there's very little to know such thing as a bad trope. Only bad execution. If you hate a specific trope no matter how it's used, 9/10 you've never seen media that's done it well, or you just suck at writing it well.

reasons i cant make jokes about characters' genders: it will not be a joke for very long

For every 20 aus I make on a version of Cala redeeming everyone there is one au where Cala says “fuck it” and absolutely kills the people who hurt her friends instead of redeeming them

Any character can be my blorbo as long as they fit the lyrics of Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

Behold the private loneliness of having a fandom-ish personality:

“Their interaction is a bit like Cyclops and Wolverine in X-men, Elsa often thinks, and whenever she has those types of thoughts she wishes she has someone around who could understand what she means.”

so what the noctis arc (eps 64-67) is telling us essentially is that jay likes girls. “that lady bit me and i think was into it” IM SORRY???????

Shout out to Is It Gender Envy Or Lust? Gotta be one of my favorite games

I need you to understand I've been reading these tags for a solid minute now because they are sending me into the stratosphere. Behold, my dog, THE BLORBOZOI

I love when my borzoi does the thing

When you woke up in the morning, is tumblr the first app you open ?

It‘s usually Youtube but I‘d be lying if I said Tumblr wasn‘t a close second XD

[littlemizzlinguistics]

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"
