it's kind of weird to think about dnd modern AUs with the gnomes specifically, because they're all ~young adults, physically and developmentally around my age or a little younger, and in a dnd setting that's the strongest angle I have to work with for roleplaying them, but also if my vague idea of a modern au takes place [handwaves] now, more or less, then felix and mel would have both been kids in the 60s and 70s and have a bunch of cultural life experiences I cannot relate to at all

#'this guy's basically 22 but also very literally old enough to be my dad' feels more real when you slot him into a modern timeline lol #I can't think about it TOO much because the modern au isn't a clearly defined world but more an aesthetic concept to play with casually #and if it's an analogue for modern america the idea of gnomes and elves and magic existing would have Implications #but it IS funny on just that surface casual level; most of my blorbos are around my age so it's easy to imagine their modern au upbringings #ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY I've been playing dnd for so long that I am now TEN. years older than june. she's my baby brother's age! she's a zoomer!!#is that more or less weird than melliwyk being ten years older than my parents 🤔#also I'm now older than all my non-gnome OCs who were older than me to begin with... ahhh #I could still have gone to school with elyss or aubree but only just. we wouldn't have had any classes together #TIME.... is WEIRD......!!#my OCs #melliwyk #felix
