#dad kugrash

[fangirlingpuggle]

Thinking about the final time Quangle AU where all of them are just still in New York (Since no one helped Ylfa and Aurora Nebbins get to AnarchEra and Jet and Ruby snuck through)

Kugrash basically being dad to Ruby, Jet, Ylfa and Kristen.

All of them just causing chaos and bonding, exploring the unsleeping city.

PIB chilling with La Gran Gata and occasionally tagging along with Sophia who loves him and gets him a selection of shoes/boots.

thinking about Pete losing his dad twice, once after coming out and again after sending him to Nod. thinking about Kingston wanting a son and thinking Pete called him Dad. thinking about Kingston hurting Pete and all the times they saved each other. thinking about Kugrash calling Pete “kid,” about the years he didn’t have with his kids. thinking about Kugrash standing up for Pete, and about Pete giving him one last conversation with his kids.

happy father's day to hank hill, coach taylor, and every dad that Brian Murphy has ever invented for a dungeons and dragons game.

“I don’t know that we’re good, but you’re good.” —David Kugrich ripping my heart out

[llycaons]

ESTHER'S MOM AND GRANDMA....THE CURSE BEING BROKEN 😭

[heytherecentaurs]

David wrote Kugrash 50-60 letters!! Even though he’s furious at his dad because Kug hurt and abandoned him and Wally, he still wrote those letters telling his dad about what’s going on. What a heart wrenching detail.

Kugrash and his sons is one of my favourite relationships in D20.

[selfdiagnosedeyemotif]

also, the unsleeping city is up for free on youtube! and you dont need to watch any of the previous campaigns to watch it. its a pretty hefty time sink but if you’re one for putting on a podcast or some such while you work, you could just treat it like that (theres a few things that require sight to get, but most of it works just fine with just voice)

wtf is a kugash, i was only here for Ripred, Ratigan and Remy, those are the only rats i know from media 😭

Kugrash is from Dimension 20's campaign The Unsleeping City! Dimension 20 is a popular Dungeons and Dragons series comprising of several campaigns. I've actually been meaning to check it out myself!

[tilseptemberends]

I have so many thoughts about the new Time Quangle ep/live show so spoilers if you haven't watched it yet

I knew it! I knew Barry and Sophie would be cute! Now I've never written fanfic for Dimension 20 but I might have to now so I can immerse myself in a world where Barry adopts Ylfa and dates Sophie in New York City because that little family would be so freaking chaotic and wholesome

But also Gorgug being completely cut off from the Bad Kids hurt me 😭

The Hangvan being at like 3 HP the whole time? Hilarious.

But also Kug! Kugrash! Omg 🥹💕

Margaret referring to Rowan as Sophie's mom absolutely sent me

Glad we got to hear from Gilear, I love that pathetic elf man.

And the partial return of the "are you my dad?" bit with Gorgug and Rowan 😆😆😆

I have alot of feelings but God I love all these characters so much 💕

[adainesfroggieboggy]

rewatching the end of tuc s1 and it makes me so happy. i love Santa Wally. i love President Rowan. i love Ricky and Esther’s first kiss. i love Kingston taking care of David. i love “love you, Dad.” “love you, David. take care of Wally.”

their endings are some of my favorite ever. Sofia taking over the Order of the Concrete Fist. Ricky working in an outreach center to continue Kugrash’s legacy. Kingston spending sundays with Liz. (WITH BRUCE) President Rowan of the Fae, actress, working with Ricky at the outreach center, becoming truly one with the city. Pete stopping dealing, working at a bookstore, purposely fucking with Priya.

and they’re doing bits the whole ass time. “oh, that sounds good. on staten island? mmmmm…” “your mom becomes santa claus” and a little hairy baby dancing on the breeze.

because what the fuck honestly. it’s so funny and so bittersweet and perfect.

[mischieffoal]

Kugrash; Rat Jesus; Bruce Kugrich; you know him, you love him - is a repressed, closeted, gay man. In this essay I will… tell you why I think that, I actually wrote the essay. (It’s not an essay it’s a long text post, it doesn’t have an introduction or a conclusion or citations don’t come for me)

Anyway, I’ve just finished The Unsleeping City chapters 1 and 2 and Kugrash has infested my brain and wormed his slimy way around my heart. I don’t need to proselytise him, if you’re reading this post you already understand the appeal of a crusty, washed-up rat bastard of a terrible father who’s trying to make up for everything he’s ever done. What I particularly loved about him was that he is gay-coded in such a specific way that it makes the poor little meow meow of it all even worse. Was it on purpose? I doubt it. But it certainly is there. 

(I doubt it was on purpose because the joy of D20 is that all the characters are kind of just pan unless specified otherwise and homophobia is only a thing that villains do in the first five minutes of a character’s introduction. So it’s like, I doubt Murph did this on purpose because he’s probably just being very queer friendly and it comes across this way because of the Kugrash of it all)

Evidence that I remembered to write down is as follows: 

Perry the Pigeon

Kug doesn’t actually want to date Perry, but he doesn't object to going to the wedding with him/sort of leads him on/definitely flirts with him/tries to let him down nicely. 

Murph did just choose the name Perry at random. Could have been a girl pigeon, but no. 

Perry is serious about Kugrash. Like, “still mourning him” serious. 

Perry isn’t only into Kug, he is an established gay pigeon who later marries another man (/rabbit)

2. The Kugriches

When the other PCs tell Wally there’s a pigeon with a crush on his dad, Wally immediately asks “What’s his name?”

Wally and David’s mum is out of the picture. David said that Bruce abandoned them when Wally really needed him, which I think implies she’s been gone since before Kugrash was cursed. Why? Who knows, Bruce was a bastard in many ways - but if his sexuality was so obvious that their son can only imagine his dad dating a male pigeon, it was probably obvious to Bruce’s ex. 

3. Lowell Masters

Kingston: finds out Lowell can Identify things by sticking them up his ass Kingston, two seconds later, pointing at his good friend Kugrash: “This man, what is this man?" Lowell: gives Kugrash an ass jacket Kugrash: “Yeah, yeah, sure thanks, appreciate it.”  Kugrash: “I smell like lube now instead of trash.” Kugrash: “We’ll link up at some point”

4. The totems

All men. When the Intrepid Heroes came up with what their totem animals would be in an Adventuring Party, they weren’t particularly gendered, but weren’t sentient either, so who knows what that’s worth

Perry (see Point 1)

The campest unicorn you’ve ever seen or heard in your life

5. Best friends with a hairdresser

6. “You goddamn beautiful boy, you fucker, you absolute arsehole.” I get it, Kug. Ricky does it to us all. 

To me, all of this implies Kugrash is gay, but quietly. He’s certainly not out-and-proud like Pete is, but his children know. Did he tell them or was it obvious? I don’t think Kugrash knows. I think he’s closeted to no-one but himself. A business man in the 1980s isn’t the most likely guy to have searched his soul for any sexual deviancy, and since then he’s been very busy being depressed/ashamed/a literal rat in the sewers. Misty and Kingston do a lot of work to pull him out of the underground and actually talk to human beings again. They know he’s gay, from the things they say about him (see in particular Point 3: Lowell Masters). I don’t think Kugrash would have ever had a “gay awakening” or a “gay panic” if he’d stayed on the mortal plane, I doubt his sexuality would be that shocking or confusing - I just don’t think he’s noticed. 

Being cursed into a ratman gives you the space to learn all sorts of things about yourself, and if that doesn’t quite work, you can always eat an everything bagel and become omniscient, when you can finally realise that Bruce Kugrich was in fact gay the whole time.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Murph characters must STOP making me cry

First Kugrash sacrificed himself, then Riz has a conversation with his Dad that's very asexual coded.
