Now that Critical Role's VOD of episode 120 is out and everyone in the fandom's had a moment to breathe, simmer, and adjust to this all. I wanna do a big talk about my favourite idiot punk rock, Ashton Greymoore.

Because over these last few episodes, I've been so proud of them.

Many people have had vocal opinions on Ashton, not all of them positive either; I've seen many berate them and say they're selfish, not a team player, or that they 'don't add anything to the group'. But over the past few episodes, I feel like Ashton has been an unsung hero in the battles with Ludinus and Predathos, with their contributions, oftentimes selfless and cooperative, ending up providing the floor for others to deliver strong and impactful actions.

While Dorian and Imogen will rightfully get the lion's share of praise for their clutch moments - Dorian's Force Cage on Ludinus saving Liliana and defeating Predathos' first stage alongside Imogen's Power Word: Stun setting up Ludinus' death and defeating Predathos' second stage - Ashton's actions were often the prelude to moments that could not have succeeded without them, including these clutch moments. Their attack on Ludinus in 117 prompted the Silvery Barbs that burned up his reaction - which allowed Dorian to successfully use Force Cage without being Counterspelled, their high-damage attack on his neck hole in 118 broke Ludinus' concentration on Ravenous Void - which somehow later got credited to Chetney - which gave Imogen the freedom and mobility to get in range for Power Word: Stun, they got the Insight check whisper on Predathogen in 119 to know that Imogen was physically inside of the body and needed to be pried out - which Imogen achieved herself thanks in part to Fearne reaching her, and recently in 120 they pulled Imogen out of Predathos' maw, abandoning the Hammer synonymous with their character (to the point that Keyleth titled them the 'Paradox Hammer') to prioritize saving their friend, which - following Dorian's healing - gave her the chance to use the Ring of Remembrance for the finishing Meteor Swarm. Not to mention all the other damage they dealt and tanked throughout the four fights, the passive d4 bonuses and advantage they gave the party (almost acting partly as a secondary paladin or a tertiary bard) to buff their damage and saving throws, and accepting the risk of disintegration when Laudna used their Hammer's spell splitter - which forced Predathos to use its final Legendary Resistance.

The Disintegrate moment itself was tense because we all know that Ashton is high among the Hells who would sacrifice themselves to save the group - a mentality most of the Hells likely shared in this fight - but fortunately they don't have to, they'll never have to, and they gained something just as if not more valuable than a heroic sacrifice: they get to live. The person who before meeting these chucklefucks believed they'd likely die face-down in a ditch in some backwater alley and thrown into an unmarked grave AT BEST gets to live, and the people that mean most to them get to live thanks to their efforts, their successes. And that's the most important part; for all the times they couldn't help or save someone because they were unconscious or out of reach, for all the times they let their imposter syndrome tell them they're just a fuckup undeserving of trust, praise, or love, and for every fear they had that one day they'd mess up and this new family of theirs will abandon them like the Nobodies did, this time they were there standing beside their people to the very end - and they helped get them out alive. No mistakes, no carelessness, and no-one left behind.

For that, I am proud of Ashton Greymoore; not Bells Hells' Weapon but their Helm, not a Blunt Instrument but a Protector, and not a Hero who needs to do 'what needs to be done' but a Friend who is saving their people no matter the odds. Under all the hardened and rugged exterior that has always been who Ashton is - the perfectly flawed character they are.

Ok since Monika still has her admin powers in the side stories you think she could just discover them accidentally or use them without realizing

Anyways au where Monika and friends discover her admin powers but dont know about the wider context of what it means. So they just go around thinking Monika has magic and try practicing with a bunch of silly fun shenanigans because they figure it’s some chosen one bloodline stuff and not like. A product of their reality being a constricted digital science experiment.

This au will not end well

I'll never get over the fact that MK trades his friends for power to save his friends. What's wrong with him

Magic System but Badly Tag #1

@oh-no-another-idea and @elkieselkiewrites tagged me for this one, thanks guys!

Rules: Explain the magic system of your current WIP as poorly as possible. Bonus points if you use bullet points.

alrighty so I ran briefly over all the magic types back in the day (last year) in this post here and there's more on soul magic somewhere but anyway

not the point. anyway there is. wildly? only express magic in like one of the current wips (assuming for SOTP being on the backburner and I'm not running over the dnd stuff) so!

Feral mages it is!

they're not even from this world but you better believe the Fair had something to do with them :i

someone tried too hard to mimic the Wild Hunt

anyway we have animal companions now that we have? a connection with? and can communicate but like. not in words, more like feelings. sure you can maybe see through their eyes but watch out! you will walk into a tree

this affords the mage fun little perks like borrowing their hearing/smell/sight, being more at home in certain biomes etc

depending on your companion, wild animals may trust you more? or run from you I mean lads that's a predator you've got beside you c'mon man

sure you can be a matched set of a creature and a human but have you considered; melding into one form

melding comes with fun bonuses such as; element control? don't question it. the ability to quite literally hurt people with your words? that might just be Kaua, we don't. we don't think about that one too hard

but! you have to strike the balance! otherwise you're just a glorified furry

or a demon, you could be one of those instead, which does net you a little more firepower (lmao) but it's not like you can hurt humans with it :3

plus like you will take on some of their characteristics. Jasper purrs now and for some reason he's ashamed.

also bloodlines matter? and affords a mage more power if their whole line bonds with the same type of creature. This nets you a family guardian spirit! stronger magic!

anyhow ok tagging @chauceryfairytales, @flock-from-the-void, and @winglesswriter if you'd like?

OOC: Something I found today

The above link is a resource that is AMAZING for anyone that wants to give agriculture- or food-based resources and reparations. I personally find it a beautiful thing. Each pin on the map comes with a quick blurb from the person requesting aid - some lead to websites with needs listed, but most have the need listed immediately in the pin-blurb itself.

This tool is excellent in two ways: for those who have reparations to make, it is an excellent resource. For those who need bolstering, this is also excellent; many pins on this map are community efforts with a history of success in lifting BIPOC voices, promoting land stewardship and agricultural independence for BIPOC, and making food resourcing easier for those groups.

It's a beautiful homage to the power of BIPOC community.

I would like to challenge the people reading this with white privilege to read through and pick something with needs suited to your capabilities, or who have needs within your grasp in the near future.

Personally, I have chosen Our Core's AgriCultural Program, linked here.

Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again 'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

Few books will break my heart and force me to stare at the cracks appreciate them, letting me fill some and letting others be, so they let the light in, as The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

i'm not saying we should all collectively bring dn.d campaigns into a tumblr context, but we should. and by that i mean, not necessarily hosting the events on tumblr, bc that would be a mess, but just bring in our muses and pop them into discord campaigns, bc imagine how much fun that would be? like?? imagine. joh.n wat.son, azir.aphale, nimo.na and mat.t murdock end up in a dnd realm and exist under their respective classes, but they have to get back to their own worlds, so they work together to try and do that. or literally this could take any direction at all, but i just think the construct and the concept would absolutely FLOURISH under the tumblr context bc we can just take our fully fleshed out muses and be like "here u go, have some armour and a lvl 2 human sorcerer class, off u go, have fun babe" and it'd just be so much fun!
