Low-level Dungeons & Dragons adventure where a village is being extorted by a "fearsome lich" which ultimately turns out to be a regular, non-animated skeleton being puppeted with rods and strings by a group of very sneaky goblins.

Was not expecting something this depressing in the epilogue
#really makes me wonder what Alfons went through#the fact that they claimed he was helping the doctor makes me much more worried than I was before#i forget their exact wording but it was something like that#I just wanna wrap them up in a blanket and hug them and cast a memory spell to make them forget their shitty childhoods#so they can have a moment of peace#ikevil between two villains#ikevil#ikemen villains#alfons sylvatica#elbert greetia#ikevil alfons#ikevil elbert#this line just makes me sad

A lack of a Hold-Up mechanic in strikers means that Zenkichi has never witnessed these kids corner and mug shadows for every little penny theyre worth. I think he would lose his mind. Hes trotting around the metaverse w teenagers that have too much experience holding shadows at gunpoint to get what they want. When did this become his life. Neko shogun throws out a snuff soul as an offering and Akira doesnt remove the gun from its face. ‘You can do better than that.’ What the hell do u mean??? Its a fucking cat! It throws another snuff soul on the ground in fear before Akira decides to finally lower the gun and let the cat run off. At least they arent killing the damn things w their backs turned.
#chattin#a game like strikers would be unable to use hold ups efficiently; its all about combos and SPEED#but thinking about him seeing them do one anyway is so funny.#‘follow my lead’ ‘um. what lead. huh. HUH-‘#hed get over it quickly enough; these shadows are out here casting spells like ‘die in one hit’ and ‘burn in gods light’ or whatever#so he cant be very sympathetic for long. lol#on the flipside i think sophia would be ecstatic to do hold ups#its a group activity ! yay !!#and she can use the extra money to buy things from the shop :) its a win win!#i think its doubly funny bc i deviate from the gameplay rules when writing stuff#and i fully believe hold ups are done by the person who dealt the final blow#so its not just akira talking to shadows; it could be anyone#theyve all got a way with words. and whoever is matched up poorly is usually substituted by another teammate#i should maybe make a post about that actually#anyway. it would mean zenkichi and sophia occassionally interrogate shadows#and sophia is not the best but she tries#and zenkichi is REALLY good at it over the initial shock#which is funny bc his job is like. about de-escalation and dealing w the public#but from seeing him knock out two grown men in one punch; he is not good at THAT job#my man craves violence….he should be able to instill the fear of god in his targets…as a treat

I'm still playing Skyrim as Harrow, and I've somehow glitched the game so that all of my spells cost zero magic to cast, and I have approximately forty-one million magicka points to cast them with
Entering my lyctor era, I guess
#my stamina is still 100#I have not put a single point into stamina and I never will#weak ass bitch <3#the one puzzle that takes power attacks with a two hander took forever to solve because she gets one (1) power attack#and then she has to sit down and wait for her stamina to slowly recharge#harrowhark nonagesimus#harrow nonagesimus#the forty-one million magicka was intentional I did that on purpose#I have no fucking idea why all my spells cost nothing to cast#it might be a side effect of having too many magic points for the system to handle?#harrows adventures in skyrim

#sherlock & co#sherlock holmes#john watson#dr john watson#mariana ametxazurra#i learned how to spell her name :D#thank you sherlock and co cast credits :D#i love mariana so much man#and i love the way she pokes fun at them both#shes so fucking rad#i really want to know Why sherlock keeps calling her mrs higgins tho#like#he knows her name#i know he knows#its really important to me to find out lmao#the retired colourman#the retired colourman part two

this poll brought to you by: my oc Hazel Sugar was a pumpkin that got turned into a person via a spell gone wrong (pumpkin was supposed to transform into a carriage, not a person) and I never really figured out what her feelings on these things would be, would she care, is she horrified, would she herself eat a pumpkin? I don’t know
#I think the reason why the spell went wrong is that the caster Cinnamon had her hearts wish cast rather than the spell she was attemptin to#cast#within the lore of this story Cinnamon is a fairy witch aka a witch who is studying to be a fairy godmother and goes to a whole university#for it and one of the tests the class had was to turn a pumpkin they chose into a carriage. Cinnamon ended up failing in that lmao#also worth noting that the pumpkins are supplied by pumpkin farmers Jaclyn and Gourdon O’Lantern (they’re two butch lesbians)#they see Hazel as their child and treat her as such

if you draw enough monster ocs, when you go back to drawing a human character, it feels like "sameface syndrome" everytime, by virtue of their face being. human.
#toy txt post#or maybe i am just sameface syndrome#but also different face syndrome#two characters will have the same face but then the next time i draw those characters its a different face than they had last time!#i know part of it is being out of practice but also there is definitely an element of feeling constrained by human facial structure lmao#the monsters have Their Own Problems but like. no one has a face like bokrae no matter how inconsistent i am about drawing her#her features are iconic enough to her that you can tell everytime#birdie???? i faceclaimed eartha kitt for her and im still struggling cos i feel weird about faceclaiming as a concept#but even then 😭 one time i was trying to give headloose a face and someone was like wow he looks like birdie!#me 😭😭😭😭😭 what!!!!!! hes not supposed to!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i need to practice. features#you know the worst part about coming up w a bunch of fuckin Scenarios in my brain for ocs is that i have even fucking Drawn them yet#to give them like. iconic staple features and figure out what their faces look like. which feels like it would really help to have that#knowledge and muscle memory before i jump into trying to draw intense scenes with difficult poses!!#not to mention. listen. i can do the monster faces. somewhat. the bodies??????????? well for one. theyre too big everytime#im convinced i could be trying to draw bokrae on like a full ass wall size paper like a mural thing and run out of room. it just keeps#happening. i have no sense of scale for them either. by which i mean i struggle w scale already and also cant decide what i want it to be#and ive tried to handwave it away by being like ohhh uh. birdie casts spells on them to change their sizes for convenience but also#no. perhaps that explanation works for other ppl. @ myself tho its not good enough i Know Better!!!!!!#agh!!!!!!! i really need to figure out bokrae's Teeth also. like i dont. i coukd get away with it. but i should. and i want to.#anyway all this to say that i need to give these characters faces and body designs (actually the body designs for humanoid ocs is the easy#part. the faces are whats stumping me? well. i need more practice w all the body types again but like i Know what im Going For at least.#for the most part anyway. havent fully figured out heights. struggling w characters that i want to make short but give imposing tall energy#on occasion? birdie can be short all day long no problem. I want Alasdair to be short enough that he has a bunch of short boyfriends that#feel tall around him? bytte was going to be like 6ft max but then i thought about making her taller and like. what if i made her taller#headloose is not that /short/ but he is Not Tall and prolly pretty lean? twink build for sure#and of course all these short /tall distinctions come with a bias of relativity to my own height which i categorize as medium height#but short ppl call me tall and insist its not average and tall ppl call me short. (5'6) and then i have to factor in how the gender changes#the dynamic of a height like my height is Short For A Man but medium to tall for a Woman. which id argue is medium height bc mens heights#are socially held to high standards (hehe) and also i know ethnicity/race is also a factor? but im out of tags. rip. bye

This is how Twisters (2024) could have been done in a God honouring way:
Jeremy Allen White plays Dr. Reed Harding, the storm chasing son of Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. His partner in science and navigator is Simone Ashley, a meteorologist studying for her PhD. For the sake of simplicity, her character is also called Kate Cooper, just like in the new film.
Reed is madly in love with Kate, but the mere thought of confessing this to her claws at his fraying sanity, dredging up painful memories of his father's sudden death. Grief grips him, suffocating, almost addicting. He can't bear to suffer the same fate as his mother, left to storm chase without her soulmate. So he keeps his true feelings buried deep within, afraid to expose himself to the pain he would feel if he lost Kate.
Their ragtag-bunch-of-misfit-scientists is comprised of Anok Yai (in her debut acting role), Abbey Lee Kershaw, Milly Alcock, Manny Jacinto, and the one and only Danai Gurira. Meanwhile, Eric Bogosian plays the leader of another storm chasing team. He is a respected father figure to Reed and the rest, giving them all scientific and safety advice.
Relevant note: see how cool Anok Yai looks in glasses:
I want to see her chase storms so badly.
And now that everything is organized, we can begin.
Our film does not start with Reed; instead, we open on Kate. She is a young girl enduring a sweltering hot day at home with her mother somewhere in the American Midwest. It's the 1990s, and her mum is wearing incredible jeans (which I believe is worth mentioning. Women in the ‘90s wore jeans like nobody else.)
We take our time to build suspense: the wind picks up, wind chimes whirl (in a nod to the original), the tv with news of the oncoming storm flickers, screen doors slam, and curtains snap and billow. Kate's mother rushes outside, frantically securing loose objects in preparation for the impending chaos. She asks Kate to go back inside, but Kate is rooted to the spot, fixated on something in the distance.
Kate: "Mummy ... who is that man?" Kate's mother: "What man, honey?"
Kate's mother follows her daughter's curious eyes to the horizon. There is no man standing there. But there is a tornado--a Dead Man Walking tornado. (Maybe the film is called Twister: Dead Man Walking. Maybe not. We can workshop it. )
[The phrase "Dead Man Walking" is commonly used to describe the appearance of some multi-vortex tornadoes. The multiple vortices look and move in such a way that the tornado appears as though it is walking. The expression is often associated with the 1997 Jarrell tornado due to a famous documentary, although it has been used to describe other tornadoes as well. The photo above is of the Jarrell tornado "Dead Man Walking." The gif below, I believe, is from the El Reno tornado which killed the TWISTEX team. RIP Tim, Paul, and Carl.]
Here is when their town's siren starts wailing, and our action sequence begins. Kate's mother is appropriately terrified. Quickly, she gathers Kate and their dog and rushes to the car. She knows they are facing an F5 Tornado and that without getting underground, they will not survive. The problem is the only underground shelter Kate's mother knows is at a neighbour's house. And they need to get there. Fast.
I don't need to break down the action sequence beat by beat. You know the drill. Kate, her mother, and their dog are caught up in the tornado, but they make it to shelter and survive. As they emerge from their hiding spot underground, they discover that the entire town has been destroyed, including their house, wiped off the face of the earth. Begin opening credits and then cut to decades later, when Kate is an adult in love with extreme weather and chasing with Dr. Reed Harding, who she is in love with too.
(I'll have to do a Part Two as this got away from me. But the general idea for the plot is the same as the original. The team encounter tornadoes in order of increasing intensity. The first tornado we encounter (besides the F5 tornado which opens the film) is an EF-1, the next tornado is an EF-2, and so on. The last tornado of the film is another Dead Man Walking Tornado, an EF-5.)
#fan cast#simone ashley#jeremy allen white#twister#tornado#movies#cinema#i'll write a part two when i feel appropriately insane#also note i have a learning disability so spelling is hard for me (i do my best though!)#of course i have a very specific idea of how helen hunt and alan ruck feature in this film (we will get to that in time)#twister: dead man walking#also the god honouring thing is a joke (i have been watching my girl trixie mattel)
