A DM in the SW5e Westmarch responded to a nat 1 on a perception check with “[character], the floor is made of floor.” Every nat 1 perception in the server is now “the [x] is made of [x].”

A character with a -1 wis rolled a 0, which led to:

Me: “The floor is made of floor, allegedly.”

Current DM (hi @spyscrapper): “Is it.”

Original ‘the floor is made of floor’ DM: “The floor might be made of floor.”

The floors are with us, at least. Even if the perception checks aren’t.

dnd jokes that will always be funny no matter what your dm tells you

"jesus christ" "who's that"

"this is just like (tv show/movie)" "that's my favorite play"

referring to famous musicians or actors from the real world as "bards"

adding the word "fantasy" in front of modern things (i pull out my Fantasy iPhone and open Fantasy Tinder)

"how hurt are you" "on a scale of one to twenty-eight i'd say i'm at about a nine."

feel free to add more

Hello, my apologies if this has been already asked before, but I really love your skin deafults and I'm wondering If you are possibly planning to make them for supernaturals? And if not, would it be alright with you if someone made them using your skin deafults as a base? (with credit, of course)

Hey and thanks! The reason I haven't released any supernaturals is I'm satisfied with what I got as defaults. They're compatible with my main skins, and most of them are detail overlays rather than full skins, which is imo better! Link list below!

Vampires: my 2018 edit to Magpie's this corrosion that I don't remember what I did with, but if nothing else, it matches my eye defaults. Blackened fingers and lips and some veins, I don't think I have a picture though

Genie: Rudhira used my skins for this already, bless!

Witches: HP's normal skin for witches, the classic

Werewolves: I prefer this small edit to Maxis werewolf, the majority of the cute fluffy-looking defaults out there aren't really to my taste

Zombies: Lifa's overlay is tight

Plantsims: uhh looks like nothing there at the moment, actually :o Play them so little that I hadn't even noticed, but my idea was vine/plant tattoos as overlay rather than green skin.

So these are good! I definitely will be making my own plantsims at least when I have the time and inclination but in the meantime people can do whatever they want, right? yeah, they'd be edits of my cc just like anything else, that's fine.

Hey, where can I find that green knitted sweater that Angela wears?

Angela wears two green knitted sweaters, so I wasn't sure which one you wanted.

The light green one she wears as a teen is @serabiet's Audrey sweater converted for teens by @linasims2.

The darker green one she wears as an adult is @serabiet's Sea Captain sweater.

I recommend them both, because they're absolutely gorgeous in-game. And if neither of those was the one you wanted, please let me know so I can get the correct links.

@amysnotdeadyet

Thanks Amy 💖 I appreciate your advice, truly, but I spent like two hours on the phone with four different Apple Support personnel so that we could discover that my iCloud storage was all but full, so it prioritized downloading the iOS update (and photos and stuff). So any unsorted notes not already saved in the cloud are just gone.

My iCloud storage has been expanded, so that hopefully this never happens again, but I’m still extremely disheartened and demoralized by everything.

It also deleted all the fics I had downloaded. I just spent three hours or so redownloading them (and I’ll download all of my own fics too so I have a copy), and four more had been deleted since I downloaded them before. So those are fucking gone forever too.

All in all, this is one of my worst days in recent memory.

I SAW THAT POST YESTERDAY

having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like "well, op, i bet you also didn't know THIS" [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don't direct it at ME! i know! i just didn't include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn't think 30,000 of you would see it!

[literalite]

21, 25, 30 for the core 4 (kris, greg lily and avelina <3)

21. what common etiquette do they disagree with? do they still follow it?

kris: not so much disagreeing with, he just finds it really uncomfortable to maintain eye contact with people at all times, or smile at them like constantly. he'll try to do it but for the latter he'll complain to greg that it hurts his face if he has to do it for more than twenty minutes

greg: answered here

lily: hates small talk with a passion. she considers continued politeness to people who have proven themselves to be shit a waste of everyone's time- if she doesn't like someone, they'll know. why would she discuss the weather with an idiot?

avelina: has been repeatedly told that infodumping is rude... personally she doesn't agree with that, she's just trying to share her knowledge, and if they were really bothered by it then they'd let her know, right? still though, sometimes she stops herself before she sees another person's eyes glaze over

the rest are under the cut :p

25. what subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot?

kris: i think he's quite interested in like. technology specifically home computers which in this time period are like the amazing never-before-seen peak of individual tech. form and function of like electronics in general fascinates him if he were in modern day he'd def be the type to take apart his pc again and again and upgrade it

greg: iiiii personally think hes a massive american football fan. the one with the shoulder pads and helmets and the running directly into each other all that jazz idk im not into it soo yea

lily: not sure how much of a factor this will play into the plot itself but i think she's an artist! not like super devoted or professional but she sketches often. and says she has a good. eye for it. cue audience groan

avelina: astrophysics 😭 which like. again i don't know SHIT about so i don't know how much will make it into the story itself. just know that she's a genius at this stuff- of the four of them, she's the mathematician

30. when they make a mistake and feel bad, does the guilt differ when it’s personal versus when it’s professional?

kris: he feels like a general base amount of aimless guilt constantly and tries not to really do anything that could result in a mistake and then exacerbating that feeling. personal is worse by far though, he has less experience with the alternative

greg: he doesn't like acknowledging when he's made mistakes and as a consequence of that either feels no guilt at all or a crushing amount. the more personal something is the more defensive he's liable to get

lily: i think for lily the guilt is on a bit of a delay- she'll apologise immediately if someone is really firm with her but the actual understanding of where she went wrong would be something she'd have to work out later on her own time under her own justifications even if it's explained to her in the moment. ultimately if she can concretely Fix what went wrong then she won't feel guilt at all

avelina: she will pretty much feel terrible no matter what, even if she's apologised, unless the other party tangibly proves to her that she's forgiven. i don't know if this is a bad trait or not? she's not like trying to be forgiven just to alleviate her own upset but unless she really really believes she's in the clear the guilt will eat away at her no matter the justification

hi i read the chenle family tree texts and i loved!! i was wondering what do you use for messages 😃

hii! thank you so much!! <3

i use social dummy (it’s not on IOS anymore) and than i use picsart if I wanted to add in any of the imessage features (such as thumbs up/hearts/laughing) or to remove timestamps that I do not want.

MeMiMessage for the fake texts and TwitterMemo (i have not tested but people say are good) if you can’t get social dummy!!

Hi Becca 🩷

I see u as one of the iconic spooky simmers so i wanted to ask if u have any cool lore for the occult sim game? Specifically vampires and werewolves? I just like hearing abt ppls lore and ideas for their games :3 I’m currently in my occult kick rn so I’m really interested in knowing lol!!

ICONIC SPOOKY SIMMERS 😭 thank u fae <33

i looove that you asked me about this! i too like to hear about other people's lore when it comes to occults. i actually wrote a whole page of lore for my personal game, i keep forgetting to put it on my navigation tho bc honestly i think i need to update it, the vampires page is waaay too deep bc i wrote it when i was hyperfixating on vtm (which i still adore) and i also have nothing for werewolves 😩

[sith-shenanigans]

personally I think there’s something to be said for inventing the category

big fan of the term "sex pervert". what other kinds of pervert are there. inquiring minds want to know

[gunthermunch]

Ma tu che opinione ti sei fatta della scelta di zerocalcare di non dire fascisti, ma nazisti. Con lo spiegone almeno ho capito le sue intenzioni, ma fino a quel momento ero molto in dubbio. Vista la caratterizzazione dei fascisti secondo me avrebbe avuto senso chiamarli così e basta, alla fine si rifanno principalmente a quello e il loro comportamento nella serie è in linea con quello che il fascismo è stato ed è. Non c'era pericolo che la gente pensasse "vabbè son fascisti, nulla di che" e quindi anche irl il ragionamento che ne sarebbe scaturito è che se uno è fascio non ci sono scusanti, è una merda e basta.

Ciao anon!

Mah ti dico, ne ho preso atto senza pensare a molto altro; è una scelta ponderata che ha abbastanza senso secondo me, considerato chi è al governo in questo momento e considerato che anche al di là dei fasci al governo, l'opinione generale è sempre stata che "apperò ha fatto anche cose buone".

Alla fine, Predappio è una meta turistica con il PD (credo ancora) all'amministrazione che lascia fare perché sossoldi: non so se hai letto Predappio Toxic Waste Blues dei Wu Ming ai tempi, se non l'hai fatto te lo consiglio vivamente, sono tre articoli lunghetti ma un'analisi lucidissima sulla situazione italiana sia a Predappio che con il fascismo in generale. La maggioranza dei votanti ha votato Giorgia Meloni, che ok magari istituzionalmente non dice più "sono fascista", ma è un messaggio che arriva forte e chiaro a chi la vota e dice (come Cesare) che ha bisogno di una mano forte e di più regole.

Il rischio più che altro mi sembra la separazione tra chi sta al governo e chi sta nelle strade. Non parliamo di GM (che ci sta visto che è stato scritto/pensato prima che salisse in carica eh) ma solo dei picchiatori, senza pensare che sono due facce della stessa medaglia, e senza il fascismo degli antifascisti (E QUI STO USANDO IL CONTESTO CORRETTO PER QUELLA CITAZIONE DI ME) che c'è stato prima di lei, non ci sarebbe lei e non ci sarebbero i picchiatori nelle strade.

Alla fine, noialtri che guardiamo zerocalcare dalla nostra bolla di politica bene o male di sx sappiamo perfettamente di cosa parliamo quando parliamo di fascismo, nazismo, o, cazzo ne so. Imperialismo fase suprema del capitalismo. È anche molto semplice (e qui parlo per me) dire a Michele che le sue opinioni politiche estere fanno abbastanza cacare, e dirglielo da sinistra.

Però la serie è una serie Netflix che si rivolge un po' a tutti. Certo, nei tutti non sono considerati quelli che fanno il corteo in memoria di Ramelli ogni aprile a Milano, però sono considerate quelle persone che magari pensano che Renzi non sia poi così malvagio, e che Minniti ha fatto bene a fare quello che ha fatto perché lo ha fatto col beneplacito dei famosi antifascisti :)

Quindi tutto sommato lo capisco quando li chiama nazisti. È un termine che ancora fa paura, anche ai fasci che "l'unico errore di Mussolini è stato allearsi con Hitler."
