another highlight of dnd:

ranger beheaded a guy (this is a not very agreed upon action by a few party members, including fang). she's getting ready to bury him, fang goes over to... pay respects? something?

she cautions that beheadings are pretty gruesome, and fang just offhandedly replies, "I've seen limbs being ripped off" to be like "i literally have already seen this shit, it's w/e"

except. i said. "rimbs being lipped off"

and i had to pause. and be like. "... let's try that again" sdlkfjslkdfj kind of ruined the serious of the scene for a bit

#speculation nation #d&d #fang #it sure was. something!#it's like. well. ranger did this bc she thought it was the best course of action for our safety #paladin Strongly Disagreed. started storming off (but fang went after her to convince her to not Completely leave)#fang was... disturbed by it. but More unhappy that the ranger did this w/o talking to anyone about it first #the other two didnt seem to truly care. which honestly tracks as far as party reactions go.#fang had... kind of a weird reaction to this tbh. trying to rationalize it to himself. compartmentalize.#trying his best to not fall apart and cling to what pieces of connections he's managed to gather.#but also. this was the dude that tried to steal from him. & he major overreacted & tried to apologize to him #and... now he's dead. and fang's kinda in shock of that tbh.#he worked hard last session to make sure this guy got out of the zombie situation alive. and then suddenly he was dead.#fang didnt like the dude. but he saw some parts of himself in him. & knew he was ultimately not malicious.#so he went to. pay respects in a way. while also talking to the ranger about why she did this #and why theyre so unhappy she did it w/o talking to the group first.#back when we first met him. this dude tried to steal fang's comic book. something of deep sentimental value to fang #he learned how to read with this thing. it means a lot to him.#and... in this moment. the best way to carry on this guy's memory. was to... connect the two things #fang took the book out. didnt have a pen or anything. so he just... dipped his finger in this guy's blood & started to draw #drawing on the inside of the front cover his best rendition of this guy's face #permanently staining something that is from a tender memory with a frankly kind of gruesome dedication of remembrance.#when asked what he was doing & why he was using Blood. fang replied that blood holds a person's essence in a way #and what better way to remember someone than to carry their blood in their image forever more?#considering he literally wears the fang of his distant relative on a necklace at all times as a reminder to himself / a token #he kinda... is just like this. he really kinda is a creepy guy sometimes. comes with the shadow soul sorcerer thing i guess #me realizing fang wanted to immortalize this guy in some way and being like 'oh geeze this is gonna b kinda fucked up. sorry guys'#b4 describing him literally drawing on his sentimental comic book with this guy's blood. like . ok #additionally. the ranger is the person he had that whole 'if i turn evil pls kill me' convo with #a part of him is going like 'man she really Will kill me if it comes down to it huh?' & like. there's relief to that
