i saw one of your art posts, said 'hey i'm gonna follow this artist' and then found, hilariously, that i've liked half your caduceus posts through other blogs. just wanted to say your opinions on the tall fuzzy man are spot on and perfect.

aw, hey! cool! i love the tall gay pastel man so very much so i am glad to be of service

[fuckinnear]

headcanon: you know how like if you wear socks on a trampoline or shuffle around on certain types of carpet and you get staticky and shocky for a little bit? that's just ien's natural state.

This is absolutely correct!!!

[deadgirlrising]

for soft asks!!!!!! 14, 18, 24, and 30?

14. favorite feel-good show?

Depending slightly on my mood, either the Great British Bake Off or the Good Place

18. do you still love stuffed animals?

Yes! I’ve still got my teddy bear from back when I was a wee bab. He’s a bit of a mess now, being nearly as old as I am, but I still love him. He’s my oldest friend.

I’ve also got a little Mothman and a small bird in trans flag colors. I like them quite a lot

24. what’s something you do to de-stress?

I’ve discovered recently that I quite like morning walks in the sunshine. There’s something quite about putting on a podcast or blasting some music (been listening to a lot of the Mechanisms and the Protomen lately) and just having a wander in no particular direction in no real hurry.

I’ve also been getting back into baking again in the last couple months. I used to bake a lot for 4H stuff, back home, but that was more to satisfy my mom than for me. It’s much nicer doing it for my own and my friends’ enjoyment, rather than for show, and it’s very satisfying to have fresh, warm cookies at the end of the process.

30. what reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house… just things that remind you of the feeling of home)?

D&D, talks on long car rides, the smell of fresh baked cookies, quietly listening to music while the rain tip-taps against the windows and drums against the roof, Concerning Hobbits

Hi, this rp looks really fun and neat! I'm interested in joining, but I'm 28. Are there any other rpers that are 25+ or would it be uncomfortable having an older player in your group?

There are a couple RPers who are 25+, and it definitely wouldn't be uncomfortable; there's no upper age limit for the group.

kind of like,,,,,, a dusty sunbeam smell. like the smell of when you’re relaxing at your grandparent’s house as a kid, just chilling in the sunshine coming through a window, maybe traces of like. antique smell, or a cake baking, or lilac or aloe vera nearby....... it’s really complex, but. that’s where my heart wants to go.

44. what do you think about when you can’t fall asleep at night?

a little too much of everything, probably, rip

[charaznablescanontoyota]

i just read The Woods (and then read it out loud to my roommate who literally got mad at me when i stopped for a drink of water) and it's so good! your writing is very impressive and you have an astounding talent for pacing. it was a great read and i just wanted to say i'm proud of you and impressed by you.

oh jeez thank you so much!!! i have a few other stories set in the same “”universe”” that i’m hoping to put out there sooner or later, but the woods is definitely one of my faves of the bunch, haha.

[deadgirlrising]

are you an enjoyer of the d&d or do you also play it? if the latter, what kind of characters have you played? what class(es) do you like playing the most?

I do both! Tbh, I probably spend a little too much time playing, as I’ve somehow gotten myself involved in three campaigns, one of which I’m running.

I’ve played a lot of characters, largely owing to getting my start playing in Adventure League. The main things they have in common are they can do magic, and are queer, sad and/or horny.

The more memorable ones:

Lander, the half-elf Archfey warlock, and my first character. He’d been on a trip with his mother and been lured into the woods by a Fey party. Ended up trapped in the Feywilds for some time, and eventually found himself in the service of the Queen of Air and Darkness. She returned him to his world as her agent, and he served her and searched for his mother until his untimely demise at the hands of some cavalry. Because of the nature of his pact, he ended up back in his Patron’s court in the Feywild, and serves her there still

Sariel/Caelynn the Hammer, probably my most damaged character, the reformed mob enforcer/trouble-shooter drow turned Oath of Redemption paladin. Deeply wounded by the loss of her mother, she left her old life behind, wandering the world and eventually washing up in a monastery. She stayed there for a decade, healing, and eventually took her Oath and returned to the world. She ended up with saving the world with her friends, though she nearly died in the process. In the epilogue of the campaign, she settled down with the party rogue, Esmera, on a farm in the countryside, to raise Es’s baby sister. She lives on in my head and my heart

Ellywick, the gnome barbarian who later got rebuilt into a druid because the we needed a healer. She was chaotic feral mess of a gnome, having been literally raised by wolves. Fun fact: I stole my name off her. Elly --> Ellie

Rowan - my current character, the trans changeling (though she generally looks like a wood elf, to match the rest of her family) Glamor Bard. I wanted to play someone who was something of an opposite to Sariel, and she’s kind of babey as a result. She’s got a big, living family, comes from money, and has had, relatively, a pretty easy life. She’s adventuring in search of her dad and herself. Rowan is also wrestling a bit with the ethical implications of her mind-controlling enchantment spells and powers.

I really enjoyed playing a paladin with Sariel. She could do very respectable damage, swinging her hammers around, and also dish out a lot of healing. Both are quite satisfying.

I like warlocks in theory, because they have a ton of roleplay potential with their pacts and invocations, but I’ve found them kind of frustrating in practice. I feel like they were designed with a much different sort of D&D than I’ve ever played, and having only two spell slots a day, as most parties I’ve played with don’t really do short rests unless they have to, really makes me want to horde them like potions in a video game
