#changed my nickname on the dnd server and everything

[iaus]

i'm an extremely funny DM

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

AITA for being uncomfortable with an introject based on me?

I was on this discord server with a person who was a system. We all played DND together and it was great. Then one day I get there and they changed their PFP to match mine and their server nickname has my name in their fronting format "Fronting: John"

so I was like haha funny joke, now change it back, but they were acting super serious and even imitating the way I type (abbreviations and emojis that I use a lot and they never use) so I kept laughing along but after like 30 minutes it wasn't funny anymore and I told them to stop. They immediately told me they couldn't stop, they were fronting. I was super confused but they said that apparently they liked me SO MUCH that they developed an IRL introject of me??? Immediately I was super uncomfortable (we're barely acquaintances and having someone pretending to be you is super off putting) and told them that "Im serious, stop it right now"

Well they got super mad and immediately dropped the typing like me thing and started cussing me out. They called me the r-slur, told me I was an ableist pig, that I should kill myself, just about everything you can imaging

I was super done. I called the mods and they got removed from the group.

Some of their friends are telling me I should've been more understanding, but am I really in the wrong here? I know fronting should be out of control, but did they need to pretend to be me?

What are these acronyms?

Vague descriptions of my dnd groups nicknames

Kip: Constantly changing it back from whatever crap we pull on them but is usually overcompensating for their short height with their seven foot tall character

Grem: can and will marry and date anything that moves, and sometimes things that don't move

Ness: Got grounded and- When did- what- I was double checking and its not the same.

Jay: Stole a child one

Kat: Got grounded and is just my exasperated screaming

Fire: I threw her under the bus for something

Tea: Not so much vague but it has to do with the time everything in our server was hot chocolate

G: Secretly an old man

Me: Beeeeeeeeeeeeeees

dnd asks: 1, 5, 13, 34

1. A favorite character you have played.

Dartak, hands down. Green Angry Dumbass is a blast to play, and a joy to see suffer.

5. Favorite NPC.

In the Out of the Abyss game that I run, its a toss up between Jimjar, an NPC from the module, and @hatchuu​‘s Sabrae Xiltyn.

In games that I play in it is a character from my Hexblade’s campaign. It was our party’s first employer. A small dragon named Sevexha, whom we met in the basement of a tavern, and she showed us the way to the Sunless Citadel. Later, when our party registered as an official adventuring group, we called ourselves the Alehouse Drakes in honor of that.

She’s still with the party, just hanging out, eating our spare change.

13. Introduce your current party.

I am in three regular games right now, one as a DM and two as a player. 

Out of the Abyss:

Alakantar, Drow Sorcerer and certified horny boi. May or may not be involved in a cult.

Avak, Goliath Paladin and a colossal jerk. Has died twice and made some unsavory deals to still be alive.

Koralyon, Human Fighter who fights like a tavern brawler and is afraid of deep water.

Shadow in the Fire, Tabaxi Rogue and literal curious cat.

Pog Diggermattock, Deep Gnome Bard who was recently thrown out by his parents for freeloading. A slacker who might be capable of great things.

Jimjar, Deep Gnome Spy NPC with a gambling addiction. Probably older than the rest of the party combined.

Eldeth Feldrun, Dwarf Scout NPC who just wants to get back home to her wife. Recently got turned into a wererat to save her life, and is less than pleased with this curse.

Tal’dorei:

Dartak, Draconian Paladin/Barbarian. He’s Big, he’s Green and he is Angry. Told his clingy ex gf (god friend) Tiamat to fuck off when he was level 2.

Kai, Aasimar Paladin and Dartak’s parole officer, his server nickname is “Best Big Brother”. One of the two Good People in the party.

Severin, Tiefling Warlock/Cleric with a tragic backstory. An escaped slave from hell who has very little knowledge of the real world. A Really Really good boi.

Rook, Human Fighter and bad influence. She’s an old mercenary captain who seems to have seen everything.

Lawrence, Human Blood Hunter NPC that Severin picked up off of the floor of a tavern on our second session and said “this one is mine now”. Dartak will give him a week.

Midgard:

Lestibournes, Tiefling Hexblade running from the mists of his past. A paranoid foreigner with a disarming demeanor.

The Abyssal Triplets

Kara, Tiefling Paladin and voice of reason

Kaio, Tiefling Monk with no impulse control

Kairen, Tiefling Cleric who unfortunately had to leave the group shortly after we started due to scheduling conflicts.

“Glimmerbeak”, Ravenfolk Rogue whom we freed from captivity. Curious and a bit of a cleptomaniac.

Ricky, Human Sorcerer who seems to have tapped into some chaotic energies. A good kid.

Kathos, Human Barbarian and Ricky’s guardian. He is looking for answers regarding a iron symbol he is carrying.

34. Do you tend pick weapons/spells for being useful or for flavor?

For spells, a bit of column a and a bit of column b. The spellcaster that I run right now (my hexblade) generally goes for a mixture of flavor and utility. I have deliberately avoided the general damage dealing ways of building a warlock in favor of running him like an off tank.

For weapons, it has been whatever gives me the best damage die for whatever fighting style I want to go for. Though now that I think about it, I specifically picked an axe as Dartak’s starting weapon as I felt it conveys his brutality and lack of finesse when he fights, as he is a Berserker at heart.

[the-appreciation-zone]

I LOVE jalexy's taz fics. Raise and get Razed is fuckin hilarious, and Do You Remember Me is so sad and sweet and Im so excited for the next update <3!

Jalexy I don’t really know you that well but from what I’ve seen you are very nice and I love seeing your icon in the chat discussions!!

Galexy is really jazzed about dnd! And she knows her stuff! It's really fun going back and forth when talking about the pros and cons of spells in different situations!

Hey Jalexy! It’s been a lot of fun seeing you around on the writer’s discord! Thanks for giving boom and me ways to customize the server to maximum non-readability – I’m sure we’ll use that information in totally responsible ways and not at all for fun and goofs. Your ideas for the potential Pacific Rim au were great – you mentioned that you like to make connections between the different stories and that’s one of my absolute favorite parts of coming up with aus. We should talk more about aus sometime! I love them so much, come and talk and share this au pit with me. (Then we can trick other people into writing them.)

I read your fic, “Raise and get Razed” and it was wonderful! I really like that you took a look at what necromancers might be beyond very goth and hiding out in caves; those are fun too, but the necromancers in your story are original and interesting! I love the idea of average people getting creative with a dark form of magic for relatively innocent reasons – I never would have considered a person using necromancy to help their farm, but asking a parent for advice using plants as a sacrifice are excellent ideas.

I think my favorite part, though, were the pun names and Lup’s reaction to them! I have no idea how you came up with so many but that entire section where the group is being asked for their names was wonderful. My absolute favorite line is this: “B- Buddy- Buddy Corpse? His name’s Buddy Corpse. It’s- it’s ironic how he- he died really c- cause I can admit that it sounds like bloody corpse but th- that’s his real god given name.” (Poor guy, how did he never notice this trend?) Lup going back to retrieve the bodies just so she could see if their names were also puns was hilarious and absolutely something Lup would do. Poor Kravitz is trying to be professional and Lup and Barry aren’t helping; it’s a mess and a delightful peek into their dynamics together!

Thank you for sharing this work and some wonderful experiences on discord, and I hope we can talk again soon! I hope you feel every bit as appreciated as you deserve to be!

I’ve also read your fic “Do You Remember Me?” that you’re collabing with hyperInactive, and I am so excited to see where you two go with it! I’m incredibly fond of aus, and especially those that explore what might have happened differently in the story with even a slight change. I really love the idea of Lup getting out of the Umbrastaff early, and this is the first time that I’ve seen it explored with Lup leaving the Umbrastaff during the Rockport Limited arc. (While I was reading I hoped that the au aspect was going to be Lup being freed early, but I was not expecting it to happen in that moment! I had to stop and try to remember if that was how the fight went down - and then the crab snapped the staff and I had a great “oh shit” moment.) That’s such a unique opportunity! Lup has the chance to see what’s happening on the moon base and react to it, but is also able to more obviously interact with events of the story in a way that she couldn’t in canon. There are so many possibilities here! I’m not sure what you’re planning with the rest of the fic, but there are several arcs filled with potential and I’m so excited to see where you go with it!

What I especially liked in the fic - something else I haven’t seen before - is Lup refusing to believe that her brother would have forgotten about her. There are a number of fics that explore Lup learning things from inside the umbrella, and in most of them she figures out almost immediately that Taako has forgotten everything, including her. I love the difference of, despite all of the evidence that might hint otherwise, Lup doesn’t believe it. (And the moment on the train when she wonders if Taako stopped looking for her after a couple of years broke my heart - she’s not angry, but she never would have stopped looking for Taako.) That’s such a realistic way to portray that realization; it’s the one thing that Lup refuses to accept until she absolutely has to, and that gives her moment of realization so much more impact. I’m very excited to see what you do with both this and other fics in the future!

"Jalexy, the apprecaition zone has led me to your Ao3 and i have never been more greatful. 'Raise and get Razed' was hilarious and all round a wonderful short read! All their names are puns and it took me a while to get it but once it clicked I died laughing. Also the setting of the barn, and their reason for summoning (pumpkings, the first instinct when pumpins arn't growing is ask a demon. im.)  was great?? I loved it. Im not very far into 'Do You Remember Me' that you have been writing with hyperInactive but bOY is it good. The lup feels are so heavy in this one, and I can assure you I'll be binging the entire fic sometime soon. Theres this wonderful mix of lines straight from the podcast as well as explorations of scenes from Lup's perspective and its just. The feels. Its just all so good."

Cool. Well I would like to say that I read some of her fics and that her strongest skill, one I really envy, is her ability for description! It’s really easy to picture what she’s saying and it’s all so real seeming. Honestly it’s an amazing skill and makes her writing great in a way that keeps my attention and I just assume everyone else’s

Their angst is absolutely A+ and their tumblr has the perfect balance of fandom v memes, and i enjoy following them v much (although I don't understand their homestuck references, which i assume are very funny based on other experiences). They're a warm and funny presence on the discord, which is mainly how I know them, and they're always around to chat or to help generate Horrible Ideas. They are eminently quotable and the discord would be an emptier place without them.

Ive got my addition! Ive read and reread your gift for candlenights sooo many times!! I love your works, but that one in particular was so funny i was dying! Badass dysfunctional reaper squad is the absolute best, and I love how you write them! You’re a ton of fun to have in the chat, from the thousands of cursed jean jokes that get dropped to the fun ideas tossed around (even in the dangerous waters of the homestuck tag). Stay cool!!

Raise and get Razed was one of the funniest TAZ fics I've read!! Barry is a nerd, the characterization was spot-on, and the sheer amount of puns... I kept laughing through the entire thing! Also, I love your blog and blog theme,, it's so soft and nice to look at.

I hope this isn't too late but for galaxies good good feels thing I wanted to say that I knew them in the McElroy party server and they've always been extremely fun to be around and just a joy to be near. they always have soft, fluffy ideas that they execute beautifully, it's good enough to be published as a children's book, and honestly, their ideas are great for when you just want to unwind with a warm and fluffy story.

Sorry this is so late ive been moving house while working full time things been slipping x.x Jalexy! Holy jazz you beautiful human, you are a day-brightener in every possible way! You're so positive and easy to talk to and an actual literal Great Human with a tumblr that is aaaaaall Good Shit (bc I legit scrolled through for a couple hours because all of it was so good?? You know how to pass on that good good content and it's ALWAYS a good day when you're on my dash. Thank you for being one of the sunshine people <3

"Hey!!! I don't get to talk to you nearly enough for how fucking cool you are, but you are super fucking cool. I wish i had so much more substace to put in this than i do, but school is kicking my ass (like always, really, fucking developmental disorders, why are they like this???) and i am a nervous bean who has seen your url and your killer handle (seriously, that nickname and handle are to die for!!! good shit right there) many times and been too weenie to talk to you. I know you are super chill and super cool, and i admire you a lot, and hopefully we talk a lot in the future. <3"

Time To Appreciate the Shit out of Alex!  Like, ok, you are just so good???? im giving up on anonymity here, you're gonna know its me by what I say.  If I tried to be vague and anonymous, I wouldnt be happy with what I said.  (Also this is gonna be super sappy bc i have two modes: Angst and Sap, and this sure as hell isnt gonna be the former).  Anyway, you are so much fun to write fics with.  Like, hands down I would write endless amounts of stories with you bc you have such good ideas, constantly.  Half the time our brainstorming is me sending you an idea that I think is decent but not that great, and then you sending back an idea that is just So Damn Good.  Your story ideas are super original too, and they're stories that if I saw them in a bookstore i would buy them in a heartbeat because I've seen nothing really like them.  And your writing never fails to make me laugh, because you just have this way of adding humor to stories that doesn't seem forced at all and I'm convinced its a whole different art form because I could never be as funny as you when I write.  And then, when the humor is super obvious in the writing it doesnt even feel wrong or clunky in any way it's just hysterical.

Your writing style is just so unique and I could read it forever.  Youve been one of my absolute Best Friends for four years now, and you've motivated me to write so much, I can never repay you for all the ideas youve given me and the beta-ing help and the brainstorming we've done that most of the time turns into us making jokes about Everything.  Do You Remember Me is one of my favorite things to write, and thats largely thanks to you.  You're just so supportive of all my writing, no matter what it is, and I hope that I'm doing a good job in return because honestly?  I think one of the reasons I'm so intent on making that fic perfect is because I want to make you proud?  You're just a huge inspiration to me and I really want you to be happy with the fics we make together.  And you'd better know that when you publish your first novel, I'll be the first one to get a copy because its gonna be amazing! You're gonna be amazing!
