atleast there’s proof of my existence

[pippenpaddlopsicopolisthethird]

The new apartment is looking nice but this is the section I've been looking forward to setting up for like six months! I printed out all the digital art I could of my characters, hunted down a ton of frames from Goodwill, and got those triangle shelves on great clearance. It is also a great place to mix in my Crit Role art! The desk is full of my campaign books and dice boxes, and it's going to be the home of my laptop for all my online campaigns!

Everything about the wall sparks joy and I finally have a place to keep all of it where i can see it and enjoy it. Marie Kondo eat your heart out!

The wifey and I are making a James Bond theme out of Lady Gaga's disease and what can I say? I think it works.

Bames Jond

[viktuurionice]

I... am weird and might have a slight crush(?) On a worker at the nearby drugstore.

He's always really nice (I know its a plus when working in customer service, ok. I know he's not just nice to me. Its to everyone ok? I get it.)

But he's got a really soothing voice and sometimes he says stuff that makes me blush even though I know its just to be polite. Like I will absolutely NOT be telling him. He doesn't need to know and doesn't need to be made uncomfortable. I'm also a cluster fuck of mental illness. No one needs to deal with that.

But today he was ringing me up at the register and told me to have a nice day and that he appreciated me and I just fjjdjsjdjdjd thank you random dude. I don't think you know how much that meant. I think he saw some of my fresher cuts and may have just... been trying to be kind to someone struggling but like... I think it takes a special kind of person to just... say something that kind to someone struggling. Particularly when you dont know them, or what theyre dealing with. He's got a very soft voice and I... just... I feel unsafe around most men I don't know... and like... weirdly enough I think I'd feel safe if locked in a room with this guy (not an ideal situation btw. But like. Out of most of the men I know or have met, this guy would not make me feel unsafe if i were locked in a room with no out with him. More men should be like this, thanks.) I hope he's having a good day, I hope life treats him kindly. I hope he knows his basic kindness means a lot to me, or to others around him. I won't be saying anything but I really hope, that someday life treats him kindly and sofly.

The Situations of Bames Jond - Human Activist

Intro, panning shot, exterior, mid 21st century Human city Silent music, hip-hop tune over opening credits, give sense of nostalgia (Kpop or EDM?) Establishing shots of office building, then of a ICE vehicle of "muscle car" variety (will have to build a prop and CGI that), people walking around the interior (remember to get ONLY Human extras this time) Cut to BAMES JOND lighting a herb stick (prop) and angrily folding up a retro iPad.

BAMES JOND: "Curse management! These regulations won't keep the streets safe from the troublemakers. I have to take matters of importance into my own two hands,

Again..."

Cut to dramatic montage of Bames Jond's previous incidents. (hold each new shot for at least 2 seconds and lower the exposure, last premiere was a health and safety disaster with the Ker'hrah audiences) Title card: BAMES JOND 2: SELECTIVE JUSTICE SCENE 1 BAMES JOND is talking over a phone, the slim black rectangle variety, while walking around a corner of a lower income population street, and encounters TWO HUMANS in non descriptive purple attire (robes?) using compressed air bottles that shoot paint at a wall (CGI department is gonna be busy with this one, huh)

BAMES JOND: "I'll call you back later, I have an urgent situation on my hands!"

BAMES JOND approaches the TWO HUMANS and folds his hands over his chest, speaks sternly but cautiously

BAMES JOND: "Are you two artists? Did you procure a permit from the municipal government for this visual depiction you are undertaking?"

PERSON 1: "What permit? This is a free society where we can express our grievances in the public domain."

PERSON 2: "Yeah! Who are you to issue such implied suggestion that we are not complying with certain rules that do not even pertain to this situation, huh?!"

The TWO HUMANS exchange smiling glances and do a "high five" (Does anyone remember what that is? Our Human consultant is on parental leave for two more months, but we need these scenes shot quickly. -Do several improvisational takes utilizing their limbs, one has to feel right)

BAMES JOND: "I'm sorry to say that that is not how this works. This structure is legally under the jurisdiction of the local government, and I am an employee of said government. Now show me a permit or your public artist license, or things are going to have to turn unpleasant."

BAMES JOND narrows his sight at the TWO HUMANS, who are now becoming nervous and gain a stutter in their speech.

PERSON 1: "W-we would, but, uh, the thing is um..."

PERSON 2: "I-it got eaten by my pet moose, y-yeah. I am from Florida, so such things happen."

PERSON 1: "M-my license is still valid, b-but I just forgot to get a new one, what with the economy and all."

Cut to close up of BAMES JOND contemplating, insert flashbacks to news articles about Florida Man and various Prime Presidents talking about The Economy.

BAMES JOND: "Well alright, you two appear to be amicable young adults. Let me print you a map to the government building that issues new licenses and handles permits for public artistic endeavors. Remember to bring an identifying document with you, okay?"

PERSON 1: "Y-yes, thank you very much, liege."

PERSON 2: "We will pause our activity for today and g-go and get the legal matters sorted, Sama-san. Good bye!"

BAMES JOND looks on caringly at the TWO HUMANS departing the scene of an avoided unpleasant incident. SCENE 1 END

The other day my dad was running a d&d oneshot for me and some friends. It was a premade quest with premade characters from the magazine and it was going fine. The four players had arrived at an inn in phandalin, completely empty, and everything looked like it had been left in a hurry. Two players go to the horse stables, where they find horses that had been nibbled to death, and a scared lil halfling in the privy named jond. While him and one of the players were talking, I watched our party rouge scale the side of the inn for no reason after the dm explained that he could not, in fact, crawl through the window. The player that was talking to jond had set down an animal trap in front of the privy after the wizard convinced him that he was gonna be bait for these big rats. Meanwhile me and the rouge had gone into the lobby to play cards (I lost a block of insense) when the other two came in as well. Suddenly these weird ass rats storm the room and we collectively squish them all. I go outside to talk to jond while the others go upstairs to check the rooms. The wizard finds what is essentially the rat king slowly eating unconscious guests, and tells him to say nothing and leave if he wants to keep the people alive. Naturally he tells the other two so the fighter comes and asks me for my religious symbol (I was a cleric). I come with and by then the rat king was finishing eating the 5th person out of the 6,the last one I carried out and put in the hall. Battle ensued, the rouge poured lighting fluid over 4 rats and half the room, the wizard cast fireball and we basically burned the whole place down. We come out and the 1 guy I rescued wakes up, he owned the inn. We fail horribly to convince him we can rebuild and the fighter ended up trying to kill him. The dm decided to finish that campaign there.

He said we could've gone in the kitchen to find lots of treasure but noooo we committed arson instead.

The Battle Drum is a stunning sequel to The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi. I love how this author expanded upon the world being created. Especially with the inclusion of different cultures as inspiration for some of it. So far, I have not been disappointed at all throughout this series.

Sylah, Anoor, and Hassa show their bravery and courage in different ways. Hassa, in particular, is a favorite of mine. Jond also is an intriguing character in this book, only leading me to fall even more in love with this story.

I really don't want to give anything away, so I shall leave on this note. If you enjoyed The Final Strife or think you just might like this series, then I can not recommend picking these books up more! I feel like so many aspects to this story need to be told, and I'm so happy I got to read more!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

Out May 23, 2023!
