I want a Steve who genuinely doesn't want to play DnD because it's just not his thing! He enjoys watching and thinks some of it seems fun, but just isn't interested in the time commitment, or the math, or various other parts of it.

HOWEVER he does demand, like a child when they find out someone is writing a book, to be put in every single campaign as a random npc. He doesn't want to sit down for hours roleplaying, but he does want that seductress in the tavern to have good hair and be named Stevana.

And this isn't like, something the others don't know about, it's very obvious who it is each campaign. Sometimes Eddie even convinces Steve to do the voice for the character if it's a fun one and Steve isn't at work. Steve enjoys how much it both amuses and gets on various Hellfire members nerves, especially because his characters are always... Pretty out there.

Gareth and Jeff tend to be amused by Steve's characters, unless they are actively getting in their way and even then Jeff at least normally just finds them hilarious. Freak continues to want to study Steve like a bug. A crowd favorite for the CC members but a point of annoyance for the Party was the character that Steve pitched that was infatuated with that quest's main villain and would appear randomly just to say something really suggestive about the big bad, inconvenience them somehow even in a really minor way, and then dip. They were definitely supposed to be rescuing Stefano at one point but he was basically kidnapping himself at several points. Dustin is perpetually annoyed because Steve won't play with them for real, but he WILL play a random bimbo that starts them on a quest and enjoys flirting with the older members characters.

(Will and Lucas are... Maybe a little disappointed he's never flirted with their characters but also, Steve would never do that lol.)

Eddie is fine with it, he thinks this is a great compromise. He gets that Steve doesn't want to do hours long storytelling sessions, but this way he still gets to enjoy time with Steve doing one of his favorite things - creating characters and writing the most annoying stories possible. He loves that Steve is participating in even just a small way, and honestly only having him participate for a little bit at a time is better for Eddie's ability to stay on task anyway. He knows Steve wouldn't have fun being a player but he also knows Steve loves being a problem.

thinking timkon clone baby brainrot again, vry generic start about how inspite of kon’s original thoughts on tim making a clone of him, when he sees the baby , he has clarity and immediately loves him.

okay, but kon taking the baby out on excursions w tim n introducing the baby to every little thing, like how new parents do. showing the baby all of the wonderful things he wished he was introduced to when he first left. like the feeling of sand between your toes, chasing waves, or just looking at fish in the aquarium or animals at the zoo.

his eyes has small lines whenever the baby babbles or cackles showing interest in the thing that kon shows. kon falls in love w fatherhood but he is still so new to everything. it’s tim who soothes the baby, puts sunscreen on, makes sure the baby is wearing a hat, he trails behind kon’s excitement but ofc that doesn’t mean he doesn’t share the same happiness. it was rlly difficult originally now but he is happy to have his baby and Kon at the same times

tdlr: new dad kon gets overly excited to show baby new things and tim is just glad to see them both together having a ball of a time, sometimes reminding kon to give the baby a break from the excitement or watching out of the baby generally speaking.

While it is extremely fun to clown on Essek for his disguises, consider:

What if they're shoddy because we know him? 👀 To anyone that's spent time studying his mannerisms and speech patterns and personality (say, an avid fan base or the friends that saved his life by ruining it), it's practically that Song of Achilles quote. To anyone else (purely in-universe now), perhaps they'd recognize the accent or find his casting methods unique. Without prompting, would they realize 'that's Essek Thelyss, the once-Shadowhand of the Kryn Dynasty'? Did anyone learn him well enough before he fled the Dynasty to recognize him in an instant? In a conversation? In a day?

What if Essek's disguises are good because they count on no one knowing the person beneath them? 👀

[the-elder-polls]

its friday, so may I request your craziest headcanons 👀🫵

sure why not im insane for fun

nerevar was a shezzarine and the nerevarine is a shezzarine by extension

every player character carries/embodies an aspect of lorkhan and can be considered a shezzarine (can you tell i have a thing for shezzarines)

pelinal was something almost like a Prisoner. not fully a Prisoner, but very damn close

nerevar's murder was a dragon break; thus, voryn killed him, the tribunal killed him, dumac killed him, and so on. they're all right and they're all wrong

miraak had the raw strength to kill alduin, but lacked the discipline and strategy to do so safely. he could've done it, yeah - he just would've died in the process

[chatter-crow]

alright yall im bored and need to yap sOOO

last name hcs for the chain

sky: given the last name Skyson at birth because he had no parents and was thus the son of the 'sky'. changed his last name to Hyrule after marrying Sun/his Zelda since he doesn't like being reminded of the fact that he doesn't have parents. plus he just loves his wife :)

four: Smith. he works as a smith as does his grandfather and the fsa is.. dubiously canon so minish cap is really the only source i have. plus historically last names *have* been based on professions so it makes sense.

time: Lon. there aren't enough kokiri for them to need last names so he took Malon's when they got married for legal purposes

twilight: doesn't have any last name but goes by Ordon if he needs to. he's an orphan so he was never given a last name and ordon village is small enough that there was little chance there would ever be another link in his lifetime

wind: similar logic to twilight in that outset is small enough that there wouldn't be another Link, but if he needs to clarify which link he is outside of outset he uses Outset as a last name.

legend: technically his last name is hyrule cause fable + legend siblings (my headcanon at least) but there aren't enough people in his hyrule overall that he needs a last name. he's just link, but if he *really* needs a last name he goes by Alfonsson, since his uncle alfon is the one who raised him and was the closest thing he had to a father figure.

hyrule: no last name by birth but he considers aurora + dawn to be his sisters so he sometimes uses hyrule as a last name, making him hyrule hyrule when with the chain

warriors: ishida. i hc him to be at least half-sheikah so he gets a sheikah sounding last name. he goes by mintz in the army to avoid racism

wild: celandine, which is a plant that represents 'joy to come' in flower lanuage. changed it to hyrule-celandine after being married to flora/his zelda

rody has such a low self esteem. of course, right?

"why would a criminal like me be worth getting hurt over"

"truth is, i'm pretty lame"

"look, i'm a worthless delinquent, deku. i can't take on the world, much less save it. i'm not a hero like you."

i know that last one was said while he was feigning compliance with flect, but i don't think he was lying when he said that. i do think there was truth to his words, the way he viewed himself. it makes deku telling him that he did great, that he's amazing all the more meaningful.

...that said, he still thinks pretty lowly of himself. this is evident in the team-up mission. in a small way, sure, but still something worth noting.

"i feel like i've done nothing but put [roro and lala] through hard times"

this line right here is indicative of it. rody was doing what he could to provide for his siblings and yet he feels like he's responsible for putting them through a rough period...

i also wanna address this:

(as a side note, i wanna say good on deku for asking both jirou and shouji to accompany them since they have recon quirks and are going around a big city with two little kids)

rody is doing a good job of raising his siblings!! when roro and lala wanted to buy those pilot goggles, they made sure to ask the heroes! they made sure that they were not alone! he taught them how to be safe!

but... notice what rody assumed when he saw that roro and lala weren't there?

"i told them not to walk off with strangers"

he immediately assumes that they disregarded what he said. this is a reasonable assumption for sure, but the reason why i bring it up in my argument is because rody does have a level of trust in his siblings. in whm, he knew that he could leave them alone, that they would remain at home, and that they would make dinner and take care of themselves if he was out for an extended period of time.

this assumption of his paired with him feeling like he's done nothing but put them through hard times... it tells me that rody doesn't feel like he's doing a good job of raising his siblings.

my fave thing is seeing people describe raccoon city as a huge city and it's like. that is a town with a population of 100k. i understand the portrayal is wack but literally it's a town of 100k people.

that is, at best, a mid-size town. they got lucky and were selected as a pilot program for a subway system that never got rolled out to the rest of the us because our infrastructure is garbage. umbrella put their lab there BECAUSE it's unassuming. everywhere we walk through in re2 and re3? that's just downtown. the rest of the city doesn't look like that. it's wide roads and cospes of businesses. chris leans over jill's desk in the morning and asks, "did you see they're building something on the corner of north and main?" and jill doesn't even look up because "it's probably another bank."

when rebecca, fresh out of college, selects STARS out of all the organizations vying for her talent, people scratch their heads. she could be living somewhere much more glamorous. somewhere you don't have to drive 45 minutes to find something to do. but rebecca sees potential in everything. she's got a real sixth sense for when a place is about to blow up.

[tumblweeds-omegaverse]

random omegaverse thought:

There must be people who experience specific instinct things with indifference or boredom.

Procreative cycle coming up? "Crap, I've got plans this weekend...stupid skip weeks."

Caught an intriguing scent while walking? "But I need to get to work! Shut up brain."

Had a snap response to a distressed sound? "Who was it?! ...right, it's my day off, I can go back to sleep."

Somebody growled at them? "Kid, I'm not a rival, that's my sibling."

Super cozy cuddle session happening nearby? "I'm gonna pass tonight guys, no social battery left, maybe next time."

Group of friends heading out to flirt and check out other singles? "I'm coming with you but only to make sure you all get home safe."

Setting where fated mates or soul bonds or permanent marks are a thing? "Meh. I don't really want one or care if I ever get one."

People in the actual omegaverse would get as bored of their stuff, as we do of ours, you know? It could be interesting to see that kind of vibe in fics. Biological demands faced with all the excitement of paying bills or doing laundry or tying your shoes.

Even if that kind of energy might not drive a plot, it could be interesting to have as a contrast to the people who do have big feelings about them - good or bad.

There's the friends who can't wait til they have a pack of their own, and the one friend who isn't against it but couldn't care less. There's the group in the office who are all about scent compatibility tests and figuring out one's best match and what sprays most highlight it, and the coworker who has no intentions on putting that much effort in. There are parents who hover and protect their offspring by scenting them multiple times a day, and others who don't see what the fuss is as long as it's done in the morning.

...also: packs with introverts who show care by giving each other space. So often, closeness is depicted through physical touch and tactile affection, but comfortable silence is meaningful too. Knowing people are near, but not having to interact until you're ready. Sitting in the same room doing different things, knowing that all it takes is a "hey, look at this" to share what you're up to. People understanding and accepting each other's differing or fluctuating needs for how and when to recharge. Seeing somebody reaching out or sharing space, beyond what's their norm, as a signal of the fact that they care.

Leona doesn't know how to take/give/reciprocate hugs

He's confused

He's there you're hugging him and he's so confused

"Herbivore? The hell are you doing"

He didn't get hugs when he was little

He likes them now

Please give him hugs

Demonic vs Ghostly in MXTX

from what i've read in the majority of fanfics (especially MDZS) I have headcanoned this about the two paths in comparison to each other-

Modao (the demonic path), when practiced by humans, is a parasitic practice that preys on the living. (especially likely in MDZS, SVSSS, & PDIW (TGCF not relevant at this time for this as much as I love it))

Guidao (the ghostly path) is a more cathartic-revenge-for-the-dead/persuasive route that is almost symbiotic with the already (restless) dead. yes, it uses resentment/resentful energy, WWX does not seem like a person who'd wake up the dead who have no resentment and are at peace.

The Family Video scenes show us that Robin likes old movies a lot and so I like to imagine she has an intense interest in Golden Age Hollywood. With Steve's movie taste being what it is (and I love it for him) you would think their movie tastes would be incompatible but I disagree! Because if there is something that Golden Age Hollywood is known for it's the drama.

Every movie they would watch Steve would let Robin info dump about the movie, the history, the actor's drama behind the scenes, what it did to get around the Hay's Code or avoid getting someone blacklisted by HUAC, and Steve would love every minute of it. He'd love the "over acting", he'd love the weird dynamics between everyone, the messy divorces, everything! He'd end up getting just as fixated on the time period as Robin is, and it becomes hard to watch movies without her because now he needs to know all the weird shit.

I definitely think they have both read the Hollywood Babylon books even though they both know that they aren't true (despite how many urban legends the first book started, plenty of papers talked about how much the books were bullshit lol), they would love the gossip. I've mentioned in a recent post that I think Steve loves gossip magazines and tabloids and I think this would extend to Robin's special interest in movies. It's a great thing for them to bond over!!

But also it makes them insufferable to watch movies with because they talk the entire fucking time. Dustin can only watch Certain movies with them or else they ruin his viewing experience. Steve and Robin also definitely quote old movies at each other a lot, and have a bunch of running bits together regarding them. They are just, very annoying together and I love that for them <3

Not enough traveler angry at the abyss princess works tbh

im just saying

if my sibling, my twin, with whom I've travelled millennia and millennia and maybe more. who is home to me. and we were violently separated, and i go on a journey to find them.

and i find her. and they turn their back on me for a mission they wont TELL ME ABOUT.

my whole world would be shaken, because my sibling hadn't trusted me. because they would rather i wander ALONE.

and maybe the traveler is more mature than that. but they HAVE been affected.

remember the dream with the unbeatable abyss lector at the beginning of the summer archon quest? the one where it says that the abyss princeps has no need of the traveler anymore?

yeap. traveler has abandonment issues. pass it on.
