Horror Movie of the Day: Cloverfield (2008)

In the location formerly known as Central Park, a videotape is retrieved. It contains a portrait of how the world was before it went to hell: six people are partying to celebrate Rob's new job in Japan. But then lights start going off, the sound of explosions nearby. Before anyone can process what's happening, the head of the Statue of Liberty is in their very street. And then they see a glimpse of the monster, several feet tall. Whatever is going on, they have to get the hell out of there.

Or… at least that's the plan until the girl Rob likes calls him for help, trapped in her appartment building.

One of the most interesting things about this particular found footage film by Matt Reeves (and produced by J.J. Abrams) is that it's one of the first American productions that could be considered a parallel to Gojira (1954). It's by no means the first American giant monster, but it's one of the few that is used to explore a particular social trauma through some overt 9/11 influenced imagery. The end result is a pretty aggressive depiction of panic, as you're seeing a giant monster movie from the perspective of the puny earthlings running around trying to find cover without really understanding what's going on while the army fights a losing battle against it.

Unfortunately, this comes with caveats. Not only is the movie beyond unfriendly for those propense to motion sickness(and with flashing lights on occassion as well) but even in the context of a panic the decision making of the cast is highly questionable at best. I get the point is to depict people in an emotionally vulnerable situation where the sheer shock affects their rational thinking, but I'm split if this was relatable or taken to a bit of a ridiculous extreme as the whole bunch run INTO the danger.

If you can put with the framing device, the frenzy of events is intensely gripping, it's gruesome chaos never letting up.

Which of your femShep(s) would be likely to try a hanar or yagh? ;)

I would say Casey Shepard lol. She banged Wrex and wouldn't mind expanding her alien repertoire ;) her FC is Odette Yustman in case you need features to reference.

I was bored so I said if I got 5 likes or more I'd compose a detailed post of both of my OC D&D parties and I got 7 soooo...

SOME CONTEXT: Both of these parties are original characters created BY ME for purely creative/de-stressing purposes. They both exist in Exandria of the Critical Role universe, specifically on the continent of Wildemount. For the lore nerds, the Shieldmaidens are active between 828 and 838 PD (Post Divergence), while the Headstrongs are active between 848 and 850 Post Divergence.

Obviously this is an amorphous AU canon where the events of Campaign 3 get resolved nice and neat, maybe the whole "moon's haunted" subplot isn't prevalent, idk. I came up with these characters before C3 started on that tangent, so just keep that in mind!

First post will be the Shieldmaidens, and I'll do the Headstrongs sometime after when I'm not all tuckered out.

Shieldmaidens:

Solveig Lynstad (She/Her, Mixed Heritage (Fallen Aasimar/Half-elf), 7th level Hunter ranger/7th level "Sublime Nomad" homebrew fighter)

Has a big "Kiera Knightley playing Aragon" kind of vibe, with an "autumn ranger grunge" aesthetic and an edge of Eastern European proto-pagan, paleolithic weirdness.

Her dad was a fallen aasimar and her mom was either an elf or a half-elf, so she's a mutt with no real preset 5e racial/species traits. She's a nature girl with crazy high perception, nature, and survival skill bonuses, and that's about it lol.

Born in the Greying Wildlands, but adopted by a half-elf diplomat and raised in Gwardan on the Menagerie Coast.

Has prophetic dreams and visions that are nature-oriented and really difficult to interpret. They seem to be leading her towards some kind of big destiny involving saving a nation and slaying a dragon or some shit. She wasn't paying attention.

Sheds embers when she fights (they don't light anything on fire but man it looks cool as hell) and her fighting style is based around locking the fuck in.

Queer af and there's no sliding scale. She's either completely confident with herself and her physicality or she has NO IDEA what she's doing.

Josephine "Josie" Davenport (She/Her, Quarter-elf bard, 14th level College of Valor)

Think Karen Gillian, playing an elf, raised by dwarves.

Extended family is a clan of Dwarves, heavily viking/skellige inspired, that defend the northern Menagerie Coast (near Gwardan) from sea monsters and pirates and shit.

Her mood board is "North Sea and Plaid".

Big drinker.

Boy crazy.

Kind of a klutz and an impulse shopper.

Angry but objective-focused in combat.

She's spicy, and flirty, and fun, and very much the face of the party.

Best friends with Solveig since they were like eight. They know each others' strengths and weaknesses and the tragic parts of each others' backstories. People who knew them both called them the Fire and the Flood (not foreshadowing or prophetic titles AT ALL >.>)

Olivya "Olive" Audouin (She/Her, 6th level Human cleric, Community Domain/7th level Swarmkeeper ranger)

Brunette "Odette Yustman-looking indie halfling aesthetic schoolteacher" vibes from this one.

Plucky, persistent, maybe a little naïve sometimes?

Cottagecore aesthetic. Likes beekeeping, birdwatching, making jams and jellies.

Her swarm appears as a flock of butterflies with leaves for wings.

She doesn't worship or represent a deity, but has like a "pantheistic" faith that honors nature without associating it with anyone. She didn't go full druid because of her connection to her community, rather than nature itself.

She was initially raised in Odessloe in the northern Dwendalian Empire, but eventually moved to Felderwin.

Grandmother is a noblewoman who is toxic af and places unrealistic expectations on her grandkids. Olive was raised by her after her dad died, but eventually went to live with her mom and stepdad in Felderwin, and was much happier there.

She was a schoolteacher before becoming an adventurer, working predominately with halflings in the town of Felderwin. Her desire to make her community better and undermine local corruption led her to Agronomist June Wiston, and she became one of the half-elf's undercover inspectors in the Marrow Valley.

She's nature-oriented, but like woods, and orchards, and hedgerows and shit. Big nature was always on the horizon, and she wanted to see and experience more, but her responsibilities at home kept her busy.

Gets it BAD for Solveig because of her whole "representing the sublime in nature" vibe.

Karin Matswick (She/Her, 8th level Shifter Samurai fighter/6th level Swashbuckler rogue)

Initially the youngest of the group until (REDACTED) shows up.

Meets up with the rest of the party as professional adversaries - Karin is working as a saboteur for the rebel faction the rest of the party's been hired to track down - but she decides halfway through a swordfight that she'd rather get a drink, and a few drinks and a bathroom conversation later, she switches sides.

Fidgety af, energetic, curious, confident in her abilities but not THAT much of an ass about it.

BIG on platonic physical affection - hand holding, hugging, stroking, hair brushing, etc. She kind of does the tiger "headbutt/head rub" thing, but will also, like, headbutt and punch people to show affection too.

Is notorious for having absolutely zero game. A recurring theme is all of her romantic interests being unrequited or not meant to be.

Is a tattoo artist in her spare time and can even do a few of those magical gemstones tattoos from CR C2 that Orly could make.

Her main questline is recovering her family's ancestral katana - a Vestige of Divergence that empowers shifter and lycanthrope abilities - from some rando who killed her grandmother and swiped the sword off her while she was dying.

Ginseng (She/Her, Firbolg werebear barbarian, 14th level Path of the Totem Warrior)

Big butch werebear that just happens to be a firbolg. Think less "cow person" and more "Pangoro meets that bear from Brave".

Gets her name from chewing on a ginseng root like a cigar.

Grumpy af, strong silent type. Does her best to do no harm, but also takes no shit.

She knew Solveig's dad from way back in the day and is the last thing she has to biological family. They're not...close, per say? They just share a kind of shorthand and cohabitate well.

Doesn't put up a tough front to hide her feelings. She really just is that grumpy most of the time.

Can't go full "hybrid form" werebear because of the nature of her condition - a corrupted physiology from the Savalirwood combined with several (involuntary) transfusions of werebear blood. She can occasionally go "super saiyan" when she goes into a rage and turn into a huge black grizzly bear, but its like once every 5 long rests or something. I never quite figured out the mechanic.
