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?

[sumi-sprite]

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?

dnd5e!yellowjackets HC

Since the last post about this ended up getting over like 5 notes I decided to actually flesh this out somewhat properly. To the incredibly niche group of people who will actually be interested in this, please let me know your thoughts!

Shauna: Soulknife Rogue + Path of Wild Magic Barbarian multiclass

I feel like there could be an argument for Bard with her writing but I feel like the whole brooding, tortured personality really lends itself to the rogue stereotype. Plus, how could we forget Mrs. ‘it’s just like riding a really gross fucked-up bike’... She's 100% proficient with finesse blade weapons. Charisma dumpstat queen! I also know in my heart of hearts she HAS to have some levels in Barbarian after the whole Lottie thing. No spoilers but "As folk of deep feeling, barbarians are especially susceptible to these wild influences, with some barbarians being transformed by the magic." (Barbarian: Path of Wild Magic, TCoE) tell me this isn't literally about her and Bard!Jackie's influence?

Jackie: College of Glamour Bard

College of Glamour has Jackie written ALL over it. Jackie who got picked to be captain because of her influence? Bet. Every single ability in this class sounds like it was written with this bitch in mind. 'weave a song of fey magic that imbues your allies with vigor and speed', 'charge your performance with seductive, fey magic', 'makes others want to serve you', 'makes you look more lovely and fierce', like bro come on. She'd be out on a quest serving face and giving little speeches like she did for Allie, throwing Bardic Inspirations left right and centre (especially at Shauna).

Lottie: Circle of the Shepherd Druid + Order Domain Cleric multiclass

I feel like this is such a clear cut one that I barely need to explain myself. I definitely think Lottie's a Druid as her main class, with some levels in Cleric and not the other way around. I don't think she set out to be a messiah of the wilderness, she was literally just a girl listening to the trees and kind of fell into it as the others started following her lead. Lottie's connection to the Wilderness and her willingness to lead the other girls towards its worshipping (Laura Lee style lmao) is so Shepherd coded lmfao. I was on the fence between Order, Tempest and Nature (basic and boring) for the Cleric subclass but I truly think Lottie's worshipping of the Wilderness comes from a place of following what she perceives as the natural order of things i.e. 'he doesn't belong to her', letting the cards pick who Snackie 2.0 is, 'It wants us to'... need I go on?

Natalie: Hunter Conclave Ranger if we're being basic / Gloom Stalker (Doom Stalker!) Ranger if we're being spicy

Okay so I am still undecided on this one and thoughts/opinions are so welcome. So, Natalie is definitely a Ranger, not just for the whole gun thing but because she's the literal embodiment of survival, even before they ever got stranded. Similarly to Bard!Jackie, I truly believe all ranger abilities apply so well to Natalie's character, especially if you think about her "outcast" status in school. Hunter is the most obvious subclass choice because she is quite literally the group's main hunter, but I feel like Gloom Stalker fits her present day character so well.

Taissa: Fiend Patron (?) Warlock + College of Eloquence Bard multiclass

Tai might be a lawyer-state senator girlboss, but she is haunted by a strange alter ego and a dude with no eyes FIRST! I definitely think her weird fugue self is her patron, but I'm not sure how that would translate into an actual subclass so I'll just stick with Fiend for now (Dirt Fiend!Tai my beloved). Besides being a grade A dirt eater, she's also got at least 3 levels in Bard for the College of Eloquence subclass since that's like textbook lawyer/politician. Unlike Natalie, I think her '96 self fits the multiclass aspect well and it definitely would still apply in school and then in the Wilderness.

Van: Oath of Devotion Paladin

Now, when I wrote this down in my notes app I did have it written as 'Paladin (OATH! OF! DEVOTION!!!!)' for a reason. This bitch is a ride or die (or get mauled by wolves) to her core. There are so many reasons why Paladin fits Van so well! Firstly, I think we can easily draw parallels with her goalkeeper position in football (fuck saying soccer). Her buying into Lottie's Wilderness cult stuff also heavily matches the Paladin schtick, but I think we can trace it back all the way to her relationship with Tai. Even before she embraces the Wilderness worshipping, she's so incredibly devoted to Tai that she risks dying just to go support her girlfriend in her mission to find help.

Misty: School of Illusion Wizard

Misty was a tricky one to figure out but I definitely thought it had to be a spell casting class. Despite her leg-chopping, cliff-pushing, stew-spiking antics, I don't think Misty would fit a melee or a more physical class very well. Out of all the casters, I think Wizard suits Misty the most because I do think everything Misty has, she's had to build herself. She had to learn how to adapt, whether that be socially (autistic queen) or practically (she'll learn any skill just to be useful an needed), in order to fit in in a way that the other girls just do. This aligns incredibly well with how Wizards don't have innate magical abilities, but do have an incredibly large pool of knowledge that they can gather. I was actually split between School of Enchantment or Illusion for the longest time, because I can see both of them applying to Misty to some degree. In the end, I went with school of Illusion because I don't think she is necessarily as charming and the Enchantment subclass suggests, given how off-putting she comes across even in the present timeline and to people who didn't know her weird, psycho little self in school. Instead, I feel like her ability to manipulate people comes from her fabricating situations and bending reality to match her wants and needs. Destroying the black-box, getting a nursing degree, being a goddamn citizen detective, are all ways that Misty has found to create the illusion that she's useful, needed, innocent, normal.

Some of these are way longer than others (also it's like 3 am and I have had my bodyweight in sangria tonight so idek if they're coherent) but I hope it's still an interesting read. I'm definitely up for discussing anything a bit further with anyone who actually cares enough to read this lmfao.

I've also decided to spend my Christmas holiday designing custom, Yellowjackets inspired character sheets for each of these bitches despite knowing fuck all about graphic design software so I might post those eventually.

IT IS I. THE DND NERD

Okay so all of the vocaloids are gods and each of the leaders have at least one level as a warlock. They if course have deals with the vocaloids.

Ichika with Luka.

Minori with Rin and Len (they come as a duo)

Kohane with Meiko

Tsukasa with Kaito

And Kanade with Miku.

The vocaloids are technically whatever you want them to be so they can split and take different forms so the leaders only make deals with versions if them.

The sekais are also canon. They’re pocket dimensions made by each version of the vocaloids.

Yes I’m making a religious system SO WHAT

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.

[wildtornado-o]

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

[rooksgambits]

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.]

idk what kinda dr##s (u, g) Lydia the Bard put in her villain cover of For the First Time in Forever but WHOA

[pjsk-headcanons]

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

Bard Chenery Bard Chenery

[rooksgambits]

amrita primarily uses her hands to cast, but it really involves her whole entire body, especially her upper body muscles. casting force magic, in particular, tends to work the muscles in her arms and back, so she is actually pretty toned if not muscular in those areas.
