Roman: *on the rockie talkie* Dad?! It’s an emergency, I need your help, I-

Ryker: Is any part of Reston on fire?

Roman: -no?

Ryker: Then it’s not an emergency *hangs up*

Fast Timmy: What did he say? What do we do about this portal to a demon dimension that opened after that spell we were trying??

Roman: Apparently it’s not an emergency??

Youngblood: *being strangled by a demon* HOW THE FUCK IS THIS NOT AN EMERGENCY???

[3rdblah]

headcanon that Ryker procrastinated on telling Roman where babies come from for years so now Youngblood has to give Roman the sex talk

[sugarrushproductions]

Hold up! Hold up! Hold the fuck up!

Random thought while rewatching Roleslaying With Roman....

What if Ryker knew the Bard King?

I’m pretty sure we hit every mark, but if you don’t think something fits or someone went over all of our heads ( not including the bard king he doesn’t get a birthday ) then let me know!

[leavesandbounds]

Actually I’m making a full post about this because I have thoughts

Major Roleslaying with Roman S1 spoilers past this point

Here’s my pitch, right?

That bard who was teamed up with Ryker and Patty?

Became the Bard King.

Now, I know the biggest flaw in this is seemingly the timeline, since we don’t know when the Bard King came into power, and Ryker is human so unless there’s some magic stuff going on there he doesn’t have a crazy long lifespan.

BUT

If the Bard King IS their past bard companion, that would explain why Ryker kept music away from Roman. After seeing how the power that came from bardic magic can corrupt someone so wholly, he didn’t want it to ever happen to anyone else he cared for.

And a sort of secondary theory tied to this, I think that the Bard King’s name might be Roman. He’s never referred to as ‘King [Name]’, only ever as ‘The Bard King’, and Roman got arrested alongside Youngblood for having the name Roman. And Noise admitted he doesn’t even know why the name Roman is outlawed.

So my thought is that Ryker cared so deeply for and missed his old friend so much that he named his son in honour of him and who he used to be, giving him the name ‘Roman’.

But the Bard King wants to leave his past behind, wants to forget who he was, or perhaps he’s been corrupted and has truly become someone else (but I get the feeling that if he was Ryker and Patty’s adventuring companion then he’ll probably get a redemption in the end, but that’s even more speculation).

Of course there are other possible explanations and theories for all of this, but this is mine, and I think it’s a pretty interesting take for what we know so far at the end of season 1!

[not-your-average-highschool-au]

Side characters

When I said “I would be putting in random Thomas Sanders” characters into this au, I absolutely meant it-

I haven’t made finished, postable art of them yet just but here’s some (not all cause I kinda love them all) of my favorites that I might as well share cause what the heck else is this blog for lol:

The Mean Months

The mean months from that one Thomas short from a while back are Virgil’s friend group. While I plan to make 12 characters to represent each month, the most important ones are December, November, and October (really, December is the most important but as we all know, those are an iconic trio). December (aka Chris; he/him) is the leader of this friend group and kinda Virgil’s best friend at the start. October (Octavia; she/her) and November (Thea; she/her) are typically close behind Chris.

Roman (+fam) from Roleslaying with Roman

(You can thank my best friend for this storyline. Love ya bestie; you are a genius).

Roman of Reston (he/him) is a new student as the boys’ highschool. He’s just transferred from “Reston Highschool” and while he’s a new student, he’s pretty open to making new friends. Logan gets along with him pretty well considering the two of them are both geeky (Roman of Reston is a huge dnd nerd and is trying to put together a club). Sanders Sides Roman, however, does not like him in a similar way to how he doesn’t like Virgil (he also might be a bit jealous that Logan and him seem to get along pretty well, even though the pair only hang out sometimes at school when the opportunity arises).

Also, I’ve decided that Ryker (he/him) shall be the high school’s new gym teacher cause the idea of RWR Roman being in his class and saying “hi dad! :D” in the middle of Ryker’s lecture or something is really wholesome and in character to me.

Dragon Witch

The Dragon Witch character (named Danika Wayne; she/her) shows up later on in the story. Technically when this highschool au no longer takes place in highschool. She owns and works at a tattoo parlor called “The Dragon’s Cove”. I won’t say too much about her just yet but for right now, I will say that she’s pretty important to Remus and Janus’s storylines (mostly Remus though).

Sleep “Remy”

Remy Rocco (he/they but doesn’t mind how he’s referred to) is a famous actor in this au. While they’re mainly known for their roles in movies, they also are pretty open about their self expression. Remy doesn’t care about sticking to gender norms in any way and he will proudly talk about it. While they don’t outright interact with other characters, their presence in the storyline is extremely important for a certain someone’s character development.

I think this is all I’ll share for now. There are TONS of other side characters I adore but this gives you an idea of what I mean by Thomas Sanders characters having minor (or even major) roles in this au. Also, these provided the least amount of spoilers lol

[most-fuckable-character-showdown]

I also second Daddy Ryker and Tiger Mommy from RwR

Thank you for your submissions!

Mommy and Daddy appreciate it ;)

im watching the playback of the rwr theories livestream bc i was busy when it actually happened, and i just got to the bit where they’re talking about how they don’t know anything about “roman’s mom” and just. i Cannot believe that ryker is straight. (obviously he could be an mspec icon and that would be great. he has very bi vibes imo. BUT ANYWAY TO GET TO MY POINT—) personally i vote for rwr roman having had two dads and the other one was trans. ryker and his seahorse dad husband who he absolutely doted on being so excited for their baby. that would be so cuteand then probably the dad tragically died before roman was big enough to remember or something idk. ryker’s tragic backstory happened. but yeah rwr roman should have two dads and the other one should be trans. unless they want to make ryker the trans one. seahorse dad ryker would also be highly acceptable.

[fl1nt-and-st33l]

I’m honestly surprised that Roman not knowing what singing is wasn’t just improv. I’m very excited to see what happens and what Rykers past is with bards :)

[gaymingintrovert]

Wait wait wait wait. Roleslaying With Roman theory time.

Blue color meanings: trust, loyalty, calmness.

What color are most of the characters in RWR wear as ribbons or other clothes?

Blue.

Who are the only characters from Reston who don’t wear blue?

Roman, Ryker, and Burgundy.

Even AJ and Lyra wear blue.

My theory? Because we don’t know what their pasts are. We need to learn that.

We don’t need the pasts of the others. Aunt Patty is very straight forward with her adventuring. The kids are literally just kids. Dorian already talked about some of his past. The goat is a goat. Samuel is clearly just a guy who likes being vague and is bad at hiding it. AJ and Lyra are the DMs. We have no idea what happened in Ryker’s past even though Aunt Patty talks about hers. Burgundy hasn’t told us about herself either. All we know about them is she runs the bakery. With Roman, it could just mean that he doesn’t know Ryker’s past or doesn’t remember his own childhood. Maybe it’s less of a trust thing and more of what Roman knows about everyone?

Also, with the skeletons? Maybe one of them is that blond in the hallucination. This is honestly just speculation, but what if Ryker and Aunt Patty traveled with two other people? And when that blond tried to go back for their friend, they got killed (or the blond stayed in the cave and killed the other one). Criss did say “friends” after all. Just some thoughts I had about the new episode.

@thatsthat24 please I thought about this for way too long

Rewatching Roleslaying episode one

Good grief I love this show 🤣

Some of my favourite moments

‘What the f*ck are you doing here?’

‘Well what the f*ck are YOU doing here??’

Permenant dent in the door frame lol

‘Got him!’ Proceeds to roll crit success 🤣

This whole sequence is one of the funniest parts

[3rdblah]

Roman’s gonna go back to Reston at the end of the series, learn that Ryker and Aunt Patty deep cleaned his entire room the minute he left, and completely fuck it up within the hour

[vvvrrroooomm]

I was watching an edit of Roleslaying while I was procrastinating getting in the shower and noticed something.

When the shadowed figure ,that most of us assume is the bard king ( by the theme of purple, the lute and Ryker not liking bards or the bard college ), a ring appears on Romans hand. In this vision thing we can assume that he is supposed to be Ryker. So why the ring? We never see Ryker wearing any rings in any of the shots of him, so where did this ring come from? Roman doesn’t wear any rings either?

Usually I have an idea for something like this, but nothing that has any other real evidence is coming to mind. Every idea I’m having is a stretch.

Until I noticed what finger the ring is placed on.

The ring is placed on the index finger on his left hand ( I can assume the left because of shot previous ). You know what rings are placed on the index finger on your left hand?

WEDDING RINGS.

But Romans mom isn’t here? We can assume this is sometime shortly before Roman was born because Aunt Patty looks the same, and she ( and Ryker ) are out adventuring, which you can’t really do when you have a newborn at home.

Most of us assume Romans mother is dead because she went adventuring with Ryker, or that’s what I thought, so why isn’t she here? Ryker is adventuring. Ryker has is wedding ring on. Why isn’t Romans mother here? If Roman sees Patty in this vision, and even a man he doesn’t know, then why wouldn’t he at the least feel the presence of a woman he doesn’t know. Whatever caused the vision is clearly not him. So it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know their faces, so why wouldn’t he see his mom!

I’m thinking of anything I can, but I only have one idea, and its that Ryker and this presumable Bard King dated at one point but there really nothing that can back that up. It’s probably the dumbest idea I have ever had, also doesn’t explain why Ryker would have the ring on and how Roman is here so I can probably trash that idea. Any ideas? I’m fresh out. Or is this just another one of me overthinking something? Just weirds me out. There’s a close up shot of the hands, and another where the ring disappears, they obviously want us to see it.

Please send me your ideas and anything that I might have missed in any of the episodes that connects back to this. Maybe I can piece something together? I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, though.
