Our February series is underway! We invited Maso Perez to join us to learn about the official Boyfriend Dungeon TTRPG, Life on the Edge!
We were thrilled to learn about this unique game where you play as people who can turn into weapons, and it's as much about your relationships with one another as it is about fighting through some very personal dungeons where you wield one another in battle.
If you like what you hear on this episode, the rest of this month's series is up on our patreon! Check out episode 2 and 3 right here:

I'm currently trying to dive into TikTok content creation with my first TikTok #MicroRyView! This time I am reviewing the latest @creationcast episode slightly by reviewing Spencer Campbell's work on Slayers and Nova as well as his own TikTok page. Check it out and spread some joy!
If you like what you hear, check out Spencer's work at:

And here's the episode I reviewed:
But more importantly, if you like what you see of his work. tell him and make his day a bit brighter.
Thanks, everyone!

#1 First RPG Bought This Year
I picked up Sleepaway by Jay Dragon when I spotted it while exploring game stores in the area I moved to. I remembered it from the episode Character Creation Cast did and had to pick it up. Basically you play as camp counselors doing your best to ensure the safety and guidance of your campers all while hiding the horrors that lurk under the pastoral scenery. For no matter what you do, as the summer wanes, the Lindeworm will come. What parts of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to keep the campers safe? Play to find out....

they cant keep making critical role campaigns. First the Jester Sendings from c2 and now Imogen organically developing secret disaster gay feelings without her intentional involvement. Laura Bailey is clearly too powerful a conduit for her characters and if this trend keeps up the next one is simply going to manifest IRL and befriend Ronin. (remembers how Chetney was named) AH FUCK
#this post wasnt gonna end like that but i did genuinely just remember and go 'oh fuck' so there you go#critical role#cr spoilers#4 sided dive#cr cast#laura bailey#shitpost#the baileyham household is simply Too Good at character creation. someone stop them

Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.
I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.
I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.
It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.
#i've felt this for a while but like. fundamentally? C3 is just...uniquely not set up for terribly satisfying shipping#even the ships I do like and that get small moments are relatively background#like 80% of quote unquote ship content is like. fanon goggles overlaying either parallel play or standard battle mechanics#which is fine! I think it's a different vibe and approach than the past 2 campaigns#i think especially in character creation; self-insert or easy for new players (c1)#followed by Morally Gray Campaign; Prove We Can Replicate This Success; Serious Characters (C2); followed by Let's Get Silly With It (C3)#which is less conducive to that profound connection of c1 or c2. which is not a bad thing!#but god. if you complain about the D&D show having too much d&d plot and not enough romance...yeah pal it's d&d not a dating sim#like I enjoy when there is romance in my fantasy but it's not a requirement. there is a genre full of romance. it is called romance.#i'm also thinking about this bc I need to watch wot s2 but i've been told that the fandom has gotten weird#like wow so moiraine/siuan is not the A plot? in a high fantasy Good vs. Evil series? WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT.#getting back to this...i'm also thinking about my own life and like. i moved to where i live not long pre-lockdown#and so i'm finding myself a resident of this area for 4+ years but with weaker connections than i'd have otherwise. and that's fine!#but psychologically i feel so weird about just starting to find my place bc it's been so long even though there's a good reason#and i wonder if the cast/Hells feels the same way ie why are we only just bonding now 70 eps in and so they're hesitant#that I Waited Too Long And Now It's Awkward feeling; that I Should Be Past This By Now fallacy#which. again. i think things early on could have been done differently but that time is past you need to live in the present now.#cr tag

Last July, I expressed interest in wanting to create arcade flyer-inspired character cards for the colorful cast of Rascal... and only ended up making one for the titular bunny boy. To make up for it, however, I think it's finally time to reveal Rascal's full cast...
... by way of a group shot and sprite showcase! 🍬🧡💙🧡🍬
#⭐ Star's Art ⭐#Star's OCs#Rascal#Rascal 1983#Rascal Arcade#Cupcake Rascal#Goofball Rascal#Jellybean Joe#Mr. Stackman#Sour Sally#Choco Chuck#Arcade#Arcade Games#OCs#Coolness#Behold... a post roughly ten months in the making!!!#I'd designed this lot of OCs back in mid-2023... and they have all been my blorbos since.#My intent was to draw individual key art for each one to have something for each character's character card#Though admittedly I'm still trying to hammer out a definitive artstyle for Rascal#Though seeing as I hadn't drawn the group altogether since late June of last year...#... I decided to jump right back in and draw this group shot for the purpose of revealing everyone to tumblr!#I would be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has about this candied cast...#You can imagine I have lots to say on both their creation as well as their personalities! 🍬🧡💙🧡🍬

i don't think that anyone who hasn't seen black sails is allowed to have an opinion on it because i guarantee you, if you are not familiar with it, you have absolutely no idea how incredibly well made and written that show is, because i sure as fuck did not and i BELIEVED the people who said that it was, and i was still blown away
#and like at least half of its main cast is queer. the way it addresses colonialism and racism and slavery#and even homophobia#it's so anti imperialistic#and it is just. a masterpiece. like the quality of that show in writing and creation is incredible#x#black sails#the way it writes women is impeccable#the themes and motifs#the relationships between the characters and complexity....

god i'm rewatching the destiel song jam sesh moment and literally smiling so big because they are having so much fun like they are both all smiles and jensen is so encouraging and just rolling with what misha throws. and when misha says the "here with my little brother" jensen even makes a face like "what ?? lol that's not right" bc clearly they were going for a destiel vibe and then when misha comes in with "where's the angel we need?" jensen starts smiling and nodding enthusiastically like yes, yes back on track. and then the song just gets super sincere and soft with "Where’d you go when I needed you. You were gone and left me all alone. But you were never alone, you told me." like !! it's such a sweet song and it's literally destiel and they were both having a great time singing it. my heart is so full
#i love when cons are fun and relaxed#i wish creation would stop being fucking lame and just give us jensen and misha panels. hell i'd even be fine w/ j2m#there's literally no reason to separate them. misha was thee third main character they should be doing panels together as the main cast#really there should be a team free will panel w/ them three and alcal#but anyways#vic.txt

Thinking abt that time early last year where things hadn't gotten too bad yet and I was finally feeling comfortable in myself and my relationships and my life wasn't perfect but I was living it. I wasn't stuck in my head. And then things went to shit (again) and I remembered I could daydream my life away. And now here we are. Fallen back into old habits.
#sometimes I wonder what's the harm#like yeah it's probably not good that the most meaningful social interaction I have nowadays is once again myself and the cast of characters#I created in my head. those of which are all just facets of myself under different names.#but I'm not hurting anyone. I'm not missing out on anything in reality bc if it were better there I wouldn't be stuck in my head again#and sure. you can't make meaningful connections w the world around you if you don't try#so I'm entirely stuck in a cycle of my own creation. my bad.#but who is it ultimately hurting. arguably me. but that's my problem.#life was so beautiful for those few months of freedom tho.#I wasn't living out any of my dreams but I was living a life that felt worth sticking around for.#and 2019... I wish I'd tried harder. if I'd known that would be the last opportunity for anything real. maybe I would've tried more.#but it was all doomed from the start I think. I wasn't born to experience anything real.#take away my escapism and what's left for me

Just went to see that new Colleen Hoover movie, It Ends With Us in theaters with my mom and my sister.
What the fuck is this straight white people shit?
#the cast was pretty much all white and tan#no lgbtq people#no black people to be seen#the visual effects were shit#like all the actors looked like they were sprinkled in dirt#it kind of downplayed a lot of the abuse that the main character faced#also the script made me want to cringe out of my skin several times#like the main character is a redhead girl named Lily Blossom Bloom who owns a fucking flower shop#the character creation and development writing was poor#my mom asked me if I wanted to borrow the book from her and I was like no thanks I don’t want to experience that shit again thank you#it ends with us#colleen hoover#overall please find me some eye bleach because even the visual effects made me want to cry#it was awful#i need therapy

you would think that the fake kiss on stage would make me think of deetress possibilities but no. it was too playful and happy. that was not a deetress kiss. deetress would either kiss with the harrowed desperation of milfs or with a kind of fragile mediocrity.
#thats where their charm lies#deetress#i change my mind about how they would kiss frequently#but you cant stop me#they're my girl failures#i think dee and waitress feel the most distinct from their actresses#also#this is a stupid thing to say under a post referencing something that the cast did#but#i kinda wish that we had no contact with the cast and writers sometimes#idk fandoms can be fun like that#the characters feel more real and there is more focus on the content over the process of creation#i like both#but lately i feel like sunnyblr has been unbalanced#not a problem#just an observation#also i know i havent done the thing i was supposed to do its happening#im a silly person that can only do one thing at once and at the moment that is cv stuff#also mental skill issues are happening#and my functions are not particularly executive#ive been playing a lot of stardew valley and i started mario wonder#which is fun but i havent properly got into it yet#out of all game genres im worst at platformers#i find them stressful#but i played a lot of mario maker so im better now#i played mario maker when i had covid and each night as i drifted off i replayed the levels in my head compulsively#i get that tetris effect so easily#is compulsively the right word idk

karen is MY special white woman. my problematic fave. because i understand why she sucks. i think in order to be allowed to be a karen fan you have to actually understand why she sucks. if you don't understand why she sucks then you're a bad karen fan i think.
#i think one of fhe reasons i dont like many of her fans and what made me feel :| about liking her at first is her many like.#unconditional supporters i think. and i get it. a lot of it comes from how misogynistic ppl are about her. but like. she also sucks mega bad#this is also mostly show fans. not many ppl are talking about her in a comic context. but it's like.#there is a difference from defending her from the very real misogyny against her VS defending her every move#the same way there is a big difference between critiquing her and analyzing her as a character vs straight up misogynist hate#but it's like. oughhhhh not enough of you get her. to be fair despite my jokes i know i cant claim to mega understand her either#but i think i give a lot more thought than some others do about her.#also all her wrongs are honest to god equivalent to many other male characters in this series in terms of ''''Bad Person''''.#but we get more of a focus on it bc she is the love interest.#but like. foggy is also deeply ableist to matt too. and rude as a friend to him for a long time.#and matt sucks so bad himself. and is /deeply/ misogynist for a long time in comics.#they all have their faults and when i think about that im like it really is no sin to like her. bc many other characters in terms of the#things people very validly crit about her. not many others of this cast are better!#and it's fine. bc it's who they are as people in their story. bc this is how real life often is and of course they will not hold the same#beliefs as you the real person who can often know better than them. due to also living in a very different time period from their creations#+ where most of these runs take place.#OKAY IM DONE TLDR I like karen! she sucks! but so does everyone else in this series! so i have let myself learn it is fine#but also. ohhhhh my beef with show karen. very different from my beef with comics karen. i have a lot of very specific beef with show karen#but also. a lot of that comes less from her as a character (MAJORITY OF THE TIME. DEFINITELY TIMES WHERE IT IS OF HER OWN AS A CHARACTER BUT#STILL IMPACTED BY) THE. HM. ATTITUDES OF THAT WRITING ROOM. THE VERY PISS POOR RACIST ATTITUDES OF THAT WRITING ROOM.#so trust me. trust me i doooooo understand the hate. but there is still a hefty majority of misogyny fueled hate about her instead of her#actual character flaws and the beliefs she has and holds and acts on.#but oh a karen lover who hates elektra in show well it makes me wish that blond woman would get laser shot.#but that is besides the point. point is i love comics karen and i think it's interesting to analyze and view her#my romance comic leading lady trapped in a cape comic<\3#static.soundz

so was anyone gonna tell me that Neil Newbon is the VA for Astarion or was i gonna have to find that out myself when he suddenly started uploading his playthrough of the game on YT
#Seven.txt#viddy game stuff#bg3#astarion#like??? as soon as i saw it i was like OH OF COURSE IT’S YOU!!!#like. i only have a surface level of knowledge abt Astarion from passively consuming other’s posts abt being obsessed w/ him online#but i can tell that if i ever actually took the time i’d probably be rlly into the character#okay so Full Transparency- this post and the prior few tags have been siting in my drafts for the past 12 days#and i know Neil has been uploading his playthrough since even further back but i am late to everything okay it's how i am#and anyways in that time i have watched hours upon hours of Astarion scene compilation videos on YT#and i can now confirm- yes i am Really into the character lmao. like. Severely into the character#like. i'm-making-a-playlist-for-him-and-its-already-got-50-songs-on-it level of Into Him. it's over for me boys there's no turning back#i'm fixated. there's no saving me#like i have never dungeoned a dragon ever before in my entire life but this fucking man.#this man is making me wanna drop $60 and 150gb of my PC's storage space on a game i have no idea how to play#i think it could make for a fun recording experience. but idk if i'll actually do it. i'll sit on the idea for a while first#but Astarion's existence and the sickass character creation is calling my name. i think... it could be a fun time#not like i literally even have the time to dump into a massive game like that but i waaaant to. i kinda want to#anyways Seven found a new traumatized little blorbo to fawn over everybody watch out. a reblog storm may cometh#they couldn't have cast someone better for Astarion i stg#Seven stop falling in love with the characters Neil Newbon voices/acts as challenge FAILED#lmao now i'm thinking about putting BG3 Astarion and RE8 Heisenberg in a room together. could u fucking imagine#talk about taking the whole vampires vs werewolves thing to another level#Astarion isn't a True vampire and Heisenberg isn't even a fucking werewolf and that makes it so much funnier to me#just two old fucked up somewhat non-human guys. i'm genuinely trying to picture them interacting. how would it go#anyways i have been awake for 30 hours with only a 1hr nap in the middle. and i have just eaten a sinful amount of spaghetti#and am currently riding the high of finally having posted ch4 of ES. with no big responsibilities tomorrow. and so u know what time it is#time to be insane on tumblr until i pass out
