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.

You asked for a sub and I delivered. You know Steve, right?

This is entirely @wisp-of-chaos's fault. They got me into the idea of Illithid babies, specifically their OC Vlassk with baby Omeluum. If I have to suffer the cuteness overload and brainrot, THEN SO DO YOU ALL.

Under the cut due to length!

IMAGE TEXT:

1.) Born partially blind and know their parent of guardian by their psionic signature, touch, and smell. Their vision will gradually adjust over ten to fifteen weeks of age.

2.) Self soothing: Newborns are prone to suckling on their own tentacles!

3.) Internal yolk. A newborn Illithid will "nurse" on its parent's psionic energy for the first six to eight weeks of life before adjusting to a semi-solid diet.

4.) Cranium bones are still soft and not yet fully fused. This makes the birth easier for not just the parent, but the child as well, whose delicate brain can be easily damaged until the skull hardens.

5.) Limbs are soft and extremely weak. It takes months for a newborn to learn how to fully use its limbs, with their tentacles being the first to gain full mobility and dexterity.

6.) Claws are not yet developed. Fingers and toes and very soft and delicate and may be prone to injury if the parent is not careful. Grip strength is extremely weak compared to the tentacles.

BOTTOM TEXT: Extremely soft and fragile, but frighteningly intelligent and curious. Newborn Illithids may gain a higher vocabulary in under a year if they are cared for properly and fed a rich diet of sapient brain mush. At roughly a year of age, they can be given cut pieces of intact brain. After eighteen months, they are big enough to eat a whole half brain. They are able to walk, speak, and levitate around two years.

Other HCs not included due to limited space:

juvenile marks and spots vanish over time.

newborns cannot lift their own heads for at least five months due to the size and weight of their own brains.

teething. Newborn teeth come in at around ten months of age, then shed them at two years, gaining juvenile teeth. These fall out at five years old and they gain their first sub-adult set.

the internal yolk is visible until the newborn fully absorbs it and moves onto brain mush. The translucency of its belly also becomes opaque over their first year of life.

Newborns are entirely reliant on their parent or caretakers for the first two years of their life due to their weak muscle and delicate bone structures. Their fragility makes them precious to a colony, and they take almost as much precedence as an Elder Brain.

I don't know, I just thought this was fricken adorable and like I said, entirely Wisp's fault. I need baby Omeluum in my life being a curious and extra squishy little bean that can't stop putting things in its mouth and is ENAMORED by glowing mushrooms.

It's HC hobbies include extra long naps, chewing its own tentacles, chewing Vlassk's tentacles/hands, getting into places it shouldn't, wearing cookware, naps in its sling and/or Vlassk's tendrils, touching EVERYTHING, watching small critters, and contemplating the mystery of mirrors.

Redscape week day 5: superhero/fantasy/elementals

Mumbo: Vampire Artificer

Scar: Elven Bard

OKOK so as soon as I read this prompt I thought of dnd so here’s the idea,

Their whole Campaigne will be that there’s been rumors about the elemental gods going missing one by one, which is causing the bubble they’ve joined forces in conceiving around the fire kingdom to slowly crack!! Mumbo and Scar have been chosen by an unknown spirit in their dreams to help them get each of the elements respective gem and bring them to her,

The party finds more members along the way who’ve had similar dreams and try to find the people who’ve also been appearing in their dreams, (the hermitcraft people), they meet one by one, the party growing bigger and stronger as time goes on.

They venture through deep caves, forests, waters, mountains, even the sky kingdom! Collecting the gems and when they finally have them all, they get a vision of a particular dungeon deep in the desert.

They arrive there, weak and tired from the long journey, they take a rest, afterwards they enter the dungeon, which is littered with their most challenging enemies yet! They slay all the monsters, sneak around them, do whatever it takes to reach the end of the dungeon!

By the end, they all arrive in a grown over, humid room, roots and puddles, strong gusts of wind everywhere! At the end of the room is a statue, of the spirit they’ve been seeing in their dreams!

They place the gems inside conveniently shaped holes in the spirits chest, before everything starts to glow a bright light, the party shields their eyes and when they open them again, they see the fire elemental before them! she has all the gems now, the fire kingdom is free, and it is angry, how will our hero’s solve this?

So to the D&D AU

I’ve been trying to figure out how to make all the vocaloid versions canon. All I could figure out is they’re some kind of projection from a higher being.

The crypton Vocaloids are gods and you shall bow before them.

Imagine ancient murals of a Miku concert.

That’s the L/N lore I think. Them researching the vocaloids

QSMP COUPLES AS DND CHARACTERS (PT.2)

Once again, doing this by parts cause I'm lazy. Also! Feel free to disagree with me in the comments or tags, but friendly reminder that this is incredibly self-indulgent :3

(Part 1) - (Part 3)

LET'S GO LESBIANS LET'S GO BAGINA TIME

Tina: My poor conflicted demon girl gets assigned Tiefling right away, simply because it would be the easiest fiend race to pass as human, as long as you destroy hide the horns and tail (and if you don't get a funky skin color, which I think she doesn't for lore reasons and health reasons cause I wouldn't trust her not to do anything drastic to hide that too). Now CLASS was actually a bit harder. After much deliberation I actually ended up landing on Druid. Her relationship with farming makes her kind of a shoe-in but Circle of Stars allows her art skills to also come into play which is neat :D The ability to acquire animal traits would also help her with the hole "Demon? What demon? I'm just a regular catgirl" thing.

Bagi: Ok, listen. I tried, ok? I really tried, but I simply cannot deny my truth. The Mystery Twins get slapped upside the head with Tabaxi and nothing will change my mind. Are they literally full-on cats? Just humanoids with cat-like traits? That's up to you to decide, but after seeing Luffy's art of Bagi I have decided these two are canonical cats, no turning back now. Deciding a class was also kind of surprisingly easy, what with all the investigating and sneaking around looking for secrets. Rogue seems to fit both siblings but Bagi in particular gets the Inquisitive subclass, what with her love for rooting out secrets and figuring out what makes people tick. Please do envision with me the little adventuring party of "Why, yes, we are just two catgirls going around solving mysteries, nothing else to see here, ha ha :)" who have completely opposite sus vibes and are ready to murder for each other at any moment, but also blush if they so much as brush hands.

Art dump because it was getting to be a lot and I needed to post it before I had like. 30 whole spreads to post. I need to stop drawing so much dear lord.

Support me on Kofi <3

you know how some dms will let you argue for a different skill roll if you can contextualize it with narrative sense? anytime rita has to roll for deception, she rolls performance instead because they are kind of the same to her.

Tiefling Miguel O’Hara facts

[just a bunch of brainrot thoughts.]

➠ like his canon movie height, he’s 6’9

➠ his mother, Conchata, is a tiefling, which is why both Gabriel and Miguel are both tieflings

➠ he pretends that he doesn’t like it when cats come over to him and rub against his legs

➠ he doesn’t like it when people mention his horns or tail, it makes him feel more of an outcast

➠ he doesn’t like it when people touch his tail, with the exception of children, though he would feel uncomfortable either way

➠ speaking of children, he would play with them using his tail, kind of like a cat’s toy

➠ he may not notice it but his very behavior is similar to a feline, he’s like a big dangerous cat

➠ he doesn’t like it when someone forces authority on him

➠ he fidgets with his claws a lot, when he’s deep in thought, when he’s bored, when he’s nervous, he would fidget a bit

➠ he would forget to eat or even drink on a lot of days, Peter B, Jessica and Lyla always have to badger him to eat or drink

➠ he likes his coffee black but also sweet

⌦ depressing facts under this cut (suicidal thoughts warning)

➠ he would never forgive himself for losing Gabriella and for lying to her about her actual father

➠ among everyone, he feels like the outcast for being oh so different

➠ he is an insomniac because in his dreams, his nightmares haunt him

➠ he’s more susceptible to breaking down and snapping at people

➠ a lot of times he wants to off himself because he can’t continue, he thinks everything and everyone is against him, this bloomed more when Gabriella died

➠ he wants to feel free and to have a choice, he didn’t want to be born or even be raised as a tiefling

➠ he wants to be normal, to feel normal for once, he didn’t want to be reminded that he had a fiend’s blood in him or that he’s so different [this is why he took care of Gabriella the moment he had the chance.]

bullet point thoughts for Clarisse for a high fantasy / royalty / etc au

one of MANY children of the warrior-king Ares. it's standard practice for the children of Ares to learn how to fight as soon as they're walking, exemplifying the kingdom's values of courage in combat.

being related to Ares, however, isn't enough to be considered family. or, more accurately, a member of the house and potential heir. blood means little, and much less than strength -- you need to prove yourself worthy of the title warrior.

every child goes about this in different ways; some try to fight, or even off, their siblings before they become competition. others go off on their own as soon as they're able, to become mercenaries or even local heroes with adventuring parties to gain skill and notoriety. some choose to serve as trainees and knights in other kingdoms -- either concealing their identity or wearing it proudly to try to forge an alliance, hoping it might make them look better in Ares' eyes.

Clarisse chose to leave around the age of eleven, the typical age that one starts training as a page in a kingdom just far enough away that one of Ares' many kids wouldn't be recognized. She was determined to make it there alone, but wound up being escorted by one of the training masters, Hedge.

She doesn't make her lineage known -- partially for pragmatic reasons, but mostly for pride. Clarisse knows she's strong, has to believe she's the strongest child of Ares, and will do anything to prove it and earn her place in her house.

It's said that Ares possesses a gift for battle magic, something he refuses to confirm, claiming his skill on the battlefield is peerless regardless. Still, his children all seem to have not just an affinity for battle, but an inner rage that is hard to control.

whats some dungeons meshi headcanons u got? owo? i totally believe Laois would be furry and into legos Cx

also i really enjoyed ur Ao3 fanfic about Laios x reader :D!!! I really agree with the way you write him :3

THANK UUU omg. I am gonna start with Laios because I have such a clear version of how he is in my head. I have nsfw hcs too but I’ll include them in a separate post if you want! These will just be sfw and more modern au geared

Laios is 100% a furry I…can’t even deny. he definitely sees himself as some like super cool timber wolf with icy blue eyes and platinum fur (or wolf/hunting dog mix) but everyone thinks he should be a Samoyed or something

he has multiple fursonas tho. one of “that” monster. maybe a dragon sona. he’s made up his own species to. may adopt sonas/species from artists he likes. yeah he’s a furry community veteran.

i never considered legos n Laios but. You’re so right. I think he’s more interested in the more complex nature setups or fandom ones. There’s definitely a half finished setup in his room at any given time (he gets super hyper focused on finishing them for like. a few days then kinda forgets until the next random fixation.)

he definitely has a dog that’s like. his best friend. he spends a ridiculous amount of time at the pet store or dog park or hiking w it

is a local game store REGULAR. he enjoys a lot of tabletop gaming like mtg, dnd, pokemon, and even digimon but in my mind he SLAYS at wingspan in particular. He has all of the extras and stuff. he has a group he loosely calls his buddies there that play with him time to time

not a huge video game fan though? I think he likes stuff like monster hunter and LoZ but like? I’m really unsure what else he’d be into. like yeah he likes monsters but like. he needs a specific genre….strategy based games are probably more his style. he may get into competitive pokemon tbh

no sense of style. Not in like a bad fashion way but like he just dresses extremely plain. Like he wears the most basic ass white boy clothes it’s ridiculous. He has a collection of silly t-shirts but that’s about as exciting as it gets. he believes socks and sandals go together. but somehow his hiking gear and jacket game is top notch. literally looks like ducks unlimited poster boy.

he grew up middle class but in a rural area. so he has manners and such but he’s kinda sheltered?? a little naive too but…he just has a big heart. He’s someone who believes in doing good even if like. There’s a chance you’re getting scammed.

ok that’s all the ideas I have now for gen hcs but tysm for the ask
