speaking of dads eagerly accepting invitations to deck building games...

because we cannot have a single interest without it becoming about ocs, have been thinking a lot about human au neil having been an old school hobby shop nerd (he is just the most classic high fantasy lotr nerd so yeah he ate up dnd in middle school and kept up the hobby until he had a kid and his priorities changed) and having been into mtg for a bit too

and now that he is in his late 40s and bedeviled by the youths (trio of annoying transgender 20 year olds led by his two of his friends' son), they are going to be so shocked and awed that he knows what magic is and is willing to play with them. and they are going to laugh at the dorky art in his ancient deck from the ancient bygone era of... 2001

#partially inspired by the trove of magic cards from 2005 that my partner's aunt found and passed along #they are mostly worthless except the one that was banned because it was too racist (yikes)#it's very fun to contextualize neil as the prog rock nerdy weed dad that he truly is at his core #even actually in regular high fantasy normal setting he just should be listening to rush somehow #i dont want to do ANOTHER period piece modern au so it's funny that by all means he should be a classic 80s nerd but no.#no he graduated college in like '96 he just chose to be out of date on purpose #he will also dm for them sometimes. no one else can handle the responsibility :(#(also yes he has a dm pc that is a copper dragon disguised as an elven mayor. layers lmao.)#anyway bobby and prosper and andwise are constantly shocked that neil is cool about nerd shit and queer shit #low key convinced that their generation invented all of it but no he has in fact been doing both of those since the 90s
