I think if they ever met Arthur would hate Jon and Cecil because why do their funky horror powers come with the ability to see everything and he's stuck with an overdramatic voice who stole his eyes going 'Arthur look at this'

drive it like you stole it, babe aesthetic

Yellowjackets! But art heist!

shauna's a thief! misty is a hacker who understands zero boundaries! mari is a forger! tai doesn't want to be apart of this! jackie's totally not involved for personal reasons! nat's already served time in prison for dealing forgeries and probably doesn't want to do it again! lottie is the queen of assembling the most reluctant individuals ever to steal from the MET! laura lee is a question mark!

I don't know how to describe this fic at all 👩🏼‍💻 🗑️

Very much this! Your character isn't you, they're just an avatar. Let them be petty or principled, fanatic or feckless. Play for fun. Just remember your safety tools and the tone of the table.

one of the most freeing things you can do in ttrpgs is let go of the idea that your player characters should be/are morally good. Once you've accepted that your characters might be bad people or do bad things, the possibility space of what your characters can do opens up wide. Plus, you no longer have to contort your setting into bizarre and problematic shapes to make sure your player characters are always in the right.

a good example of this is combat. The normal approach is:

violence is what our characters will do. therefore we must make it so it is good for them to do violence. therefore their enemies must deserve it. therefore we will create a class of being for them to fight that is inherently evil and deserving of violence.

Which, needless to say, veers into extremely racist territory extremely easily.

Whereas once you no longer need player characters to be in the right, you can instead get:

violence is what our characters will do. killing people is bad, and when our characters kill people they're doing a bad thing.

which is actually a far less fucked up set of ideas to express!

like, okay, a concrete example. Right now, I'm playing in a Vampire the Masquerade game. My character, Molly, follows the Path of the Feral Heart and is in the blurry border between the Anarchs and the Sabbat. What this means in practice is that she's totally abandonned any pretences of being human and instead embraces being a monstrous predator, with no qualms about killing to survive and get what she wants, and who is essentially a Vampire Terrorist who cheerfully murders, sets bombs and massacres humans in order to destabilise the vampire government.

Molly is not a good person. She is, in fact, a terrifying monster! You aren't meant to agree with the things she does and says! And, sure, when she explains her backstory, you can see how she got like this, but that doesn't make it okay, her ending up like this is meant to be itself tragic, because in a better world she wouldn't be like this.

The story becomes more interesting because I can, in fact, play a character who does horrible things and let them be horrible. Playing a sabbat-sympathising path-follower would be entirely meaningless if the game contorted itself so nothing she did was ever actually horrific.

[likedaylighht]

Talking about the birthday trip lore almost sounds made up like what do you mean that happened to me but also it’s been 2 years and it still makes my heart race when I think about what she did to me

[allthecastlesonclouds]

i am sending u alot because i like your opinions. you have good opinions.

gorgug: 15, 22?

kristen: 12, 20?

fabian: 5, 14?

HI OKAY!!! I'M GLAD YOU LIKE MY OPINIONS!

Gorgug:

15: What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

darlin you're not gonna believe this but i. drew out my FH ship chart just this morning. i am such a multishipper. probably sig figs or thistlecaster!

22: If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?

ohhh this is hard! i love it when people can properly balance his rage with his love, because whilehe does love immensely, he does rage sometimes, and i love it when people understand why he does so. i don't really enjoy it when he's just a plot device, but i don't see it all that often so! glad for that!

Kristen:

12: What's a headcanon you have for this character?

rrat-king has this lovely lovely fic called To Fear The Dark that you should DEFINITELY READ and it definitely worked its way into my headcanons and. kristen sleeps with the chapel's outdoor light on. it's definitely just in case a person wishes to come pray, not because it's bright enough it shines through the windows so the room inside is aglow.

also, it's a goal of hers to get strong enough to lift gorgug's axe. she's the closest of the bad kids. she wants to so bad.

20: Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

idk if this is the IDEAL best friend but i LOVE team rizten* interactions because. murph and ally have such a wtf dynamic. they're so insane i love them. (*team rizten is a duo name coined by ally beardsley, not a ship name)

Fabian:

5: What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Heart of a Dancer by The Happy Fits and Drive it Like You Stole It from Sing Street!

14: Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

OH GOD i sent wlwinry this one because. how in the world do i explain it. like prep/jock but So Dancer/Theater vibes too. he's got a stupid little jacket he's Momma's boy he's wearing his dance shoes around town (he shouldn't but he can pay to buy more).

Yellowjackets & art

They’re in the game of stealing art. Of course they’re going to connect deeply and intimately to each piece.

[strongfuck]

@auroradicit sent: "But that’s life. One minute you’re on top of the world, the next minute some secretary’s running you over with a lawn mower." Because if you're gonna tag Theia you get to deal with her

"Okay," Rhys says coolly, "I know that's, like, Hyperion standard" -- with the caveat that Hyperion's a company where the CEO would send you out the airlock for talking out of turn at a work meeting -- "but that can't be the norm... everywhere.

"Or, well, I don't want it to be the norm. It won't be the norm with me." He pinches the bridge of his nose. "...hopefully. A lawn mower?

"That's unnecessarily graphic."

[bravevolunteer]

although i think it was mostly henry who taught michael how to drive— i'm amused by that being because william ( local control freak ) insisted on doing it first which lead to the Worst Driving Lesson Of All Time and henry just HAD to take over after that

because of who? both. it was both of them.

[thesingingrevolution]

why does the dmv make you schedule an appointment (which is almost impossible to get btw) just so you have to wait +2 hours after getting here this is sick………

[thelesbianthespianposts]

imagine: you get your memories back after years of amnesia to find out your whole species is dead and earth doesn’t exist anymore. that the only thing left of your culture is your weird ex and his busted honda civic that barely even works that he stole from the government when he was 13. And he’s been taking members of an alien species for trips in his honda civic and they’re all like “woah it’s so cool” and you get upset because it’s NOT COOL it’s a honda civic, the turn signals don’t even work “wow it can go up hills” yeah OF COURSE IT CAN GO UP HILLS EVERY CAR COULD DO THAT. but they’ve never seen a car before so everything it does is the coolest thing ever. And your ex’s only tool is a fucking screwdriver which is somehow also cool to this dumbass alien species even though it’s a fucking screwdriver so you just look like an idiot screaming about how none of this is even cool it’s actually really shitty but your whole planet is gone so you can’t even prove it but also you’ve had a constant drumming sounding in your head since you were 10 slowly driving you insane. I would become evil too.
