#so hopefully.......they'll be okay

[emieclat]

ok so canadian postage stamp prices inflated by an exorbitant amount so quickly that the stamps i bought mere months ago are already out of date and i now have to pay extra on those stamps if i want them to mail out at all. which is such bullshit if i'm being so honest. i've already paid for those stamps. it was from ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO.

// i'll be moving ivan to his own blog, tbh thank you to everyone who gave me a chance writing a canon for the first time in forever and helped me find his voice. :) i'm having a lot of fun with him and the tumblr sideblog technology is just not quite where i'd like it to be for a muse that i want to focus so much on.

the url will be the same ( @weptsorrow ) once i have it all set up, so i'll be following my current mutuals from there! and i'll be moving over all my drafts + asks as well, so nothing is being dropped.

i will not be deleting this sideblog, because i think i'd like to keep it as a place for my art dumps if i so happen to keep drawing fanart ( somehow it hits differently than drawing my ocs ), but you're more than welcome to unfollow after the move is done ( because i'll be reblogging the art to the mainblog anyway like the attention whore that i am ).

hello all, happy wednesday ! 😌✨️

the writing has been good during the break, and i am knee deep in plenty of things right now that i plan to return with !! knee deep enough that i'm willing to share a bit more about them. i originally wasn't going to mention them until i fully returned, but i like where i am with many of them !! and therefore — almost want a bit of guidance on what to wrap up first !!

would you mind if i made a lil poll, with what i have ?? 🤔 and i can go in order on where everything ranks ??

still no determined date on when i will come back but !! i want to be here before summer !! 🤗🪻

[orcelito]

Today was miserable and tomorrow will be even more miserable, but at least I accomplished what I set out to do

Everything moved out of the way and tape sectioning off where the pieces of furniture I'll be getting will be.

Now, if only I didn't have to wake up in 6 hours for that vet appointment...

[running-in-the-dark]

okay, day two of living at my in-laws for two months

slept most of the day again

my brain is too tired to do maths but that's a lot of hours of sleep in the last two days

unfortunately I'm never fully asleep because of the cats but hopefully I'll get used to it

finally managed to set up my PC and eventually remembered what I needed to do to make Jellyfin work again. so now I can finally watch my stupid shows again

(seriously the worst part so far has been not being able to watch my little fictional idiots do stupid things. I already feel so out of place, I need them 😭)

I miss my things.

I'm still very tired.

I want to go home.

[kyouka-supremacy]

its just a con exclusive, other shows do it all the time, only the people at the con get to see it and cant film it, its a very small amount of people compared to the fandom over all so theres probably nothing too worry about

Thank you for the additional info!!!! I mean... There evidently are bsd fans participating to the con who are very much talking about the things there discussed so I don't have many hopes the adapted novel (or more likely lack of thereof) will stay a secret, but I guess we'll wait and see how much of the episode is revealed. Thank you still!!!

((this is a long personal rambling feel free to scroll past lmao))

growing up chronically online meant most of my friends were distant people i didn't really know. as we got older we'd discard our fake names and backstories and share our actual life with each other. it was so wonderful to get to know a new version of a person who i already loved once we got so comfortable.

i had one friend in particular who i'll never forget. there are so many-- but d... d and I hurt each other immensely. we were both so traumatized and so broken and desperately trying to glue each others pieces back together, sometimes not even caring if they went into the right spot. as long as it wasn't broken anymore... that's all we cared about. there was so much love and, at the end, so much emotion and turmoil that we ended up never speaking again. as we got older our coping mechanisms became more complex and it just got complicated. i don't blame d for growing apart, even if i did at the time (but i was 14 and fuckin stupid. i couldn't see past my own crafted universe of "how things are supposed to be")

one thing that always troubled me was the constant state of not knowing whether d succumbed to the suicidal ideations. they blocked me on all known profiles and essentially disappeared. i always hoped and dreamed that they found happiness somehow-- that some of the plans we made for our lives would actually come together-- but not knowing has always left me with a haunted feeling whenever i thought of them.

as i scrolled through my archive i found my 2nd oldest account -- the blog where we linked to each others pages just so everyone would know we were best friends. it's been years since i saw the page and i honestly thought the blog had been wiped-- but the reality is that it's just been so long that i forgot the exact URL (back in the day when people hoarded URLs and you had to have a weird variation on something or nothing at all).

as i had done so many times as a teenager, i clicked on my "dee" tag. expecting to find nothing but an empty blog that hadn't been touched since 2011. but this time... i think they were there. the hyperlink worked and I was taken to a blog with a beautiful theme (as d always had), a silly and scrappy bio, and over 4K pages of content going all the way back to 2016. i even saw their name. their real name. the name their shitty mother gave them and that they always hated-- the name that actually inspired them to create a fake name (not just a fear of being abducted, like me lol love 2008 internet safety).

it seems so much like them. they seem so happy. i don't even see a trace of the child who i desperately texted waiting for a response to be sure they didn't drown themselves in the creek behind their house. the child who i loved so much it drove me to harm. the child who, whether they realize it or not, helped shape me into the person i am today.

but because of the time and the distance... because of the fiery way our friendship ended... i can't be sure. i want so badly for it to be them. i've thought for so long that maybe they lost their battle and that i'd never see them smile again or talk with them about werewolves or listen to their stories about their grandparents that loved them so much. but now there is a little hope. and i'm going to hang onto that.

i just wish... i wish i could reach out. it's been so long that i would hope their hate faded. that they could reflect on the simple things that tore us apart, and that they might even be happy to hear from me. to know that i won my battle too and that i'm finally happy.

it hurts to not know. but it would probably hurt more to reach out and hear nothing-- or to reach out just to realize that this person with their blog isn't actually them, but someone who took their URL after they deleted their presence from my life.

god i haven't written anything this long on tumblr since..... ever? lmao but i'm just sitting at work simultaneously aching over these memories and shining over the fact that they might still be breathing. that they're living the life that i always dreamed and hoped that they would. and god-- if it is you, d, you turned into a beautiful person. not that i ever had any doubts.

[camellia-thea]

[inserttemptitlehere]

This is all really perfect advice. If you want some additional, system specific advice:

5 foot step is a really helpful rule to make sure you know, it's super helpful for not provoking attacks of opportunity. Moving away/around an enemy lets them attack you unless you withdraw (uses up your whole turn) or 5 foot step (it's a non-action but you can't take a normal move before/after doing it).

Not sure what your starting gold is, but rope is something you basically always want, and smelling salts are really nice for someone in the party to have if you can afford it (lets you wake up an enemy you've knocked unconscious without needing to use healing on them)

Don't step through a doorway you've just opened (unless you want to play recklessly). If there are a bunch of enemies on the other side and you step into the room and then lose initiative, you can have 5 enemies all hitting you because no one else is an option to target. Standing in the doorway will mean only 3 can hit you (you'll have cover against two of them) - but it will also mean other people will have a hard time hitting. Opening the door and staying in the room means enemies get bottlenecked and up to 3 people have a chance to hit them.

Never ever play a race with a penalty to Con and then fully dump it. A 5 Con will get you killed (technically a 5 in any stat is dangerous, but 5 Con is lethal)

Again, don't know your starting gold or magic status, but usually it's common courtesy to eventually buy/contribute to a wand of cure light wounds for out of combat healing (it's way more efficient than potions).

Swarms are incredibly deadly and can be difficult at low levels, make sure someone has some way of dealing with them (it's okay if not everyone in the party can, but make sure someone has aoe).

All of the rules/info is available for free on "Archives Of Nethys" (AoN)- it's super helpful.

Also shout-out to the legacy aonprd - it's the old website. I personally think it's better for finding some of the basic rules than AoN. AoN is great for finding class info, items, spells, etc or looking up a rule you're aware of already. But the legacy aonprd has the various sections under the "core rulebook" with the various rules on how to play.

d20PFSRD also has most of the info available for free, but it also has a lot of third party content on there, so make sure to check the source of anything on there to make sure it isn't 3rd party (or just stay away for the most part)

My boyfriend invited me to play Pathfinder with his friends tomorrow, I'm printing dice now and he's helping me with a character tonight, but do you have any advice?

(I'm hoping to play as an earth elemental because hee hoo beeg rock)

Go in with an open mind, listen to the other players' advice, and while I'm sure the rest of the group will be willing to cut you a lot of slack as a first-time player try to be attentive and pick up as many of the rules as you possibly can! Some of them might not come up that often, but for the ones that do come often try to learn them as best you can!

Also, don't be afraid to ask for clarification: sometimes people who have been playing a game for a long time will begin to assume that the things they understand about the game should be immediately intuitive when they may not make immediate sense to someone who has just started. I think it may be best to keep notes on any rules issues like this as they come up, and then ask for clarification on them during a break or after the game, so that the game can flow better, but if you genuinely don't understand something about a rule or mechanic, don't be afraid to bring it up. :)

[rafeandonlyrafe]

mexico

words: 1.2k

warnings: 18+ only, smut, p in v sex, soft!rafe, established relationship, overbearing/annoying parents, proposal, marriage talk

“and why would i not want to come?” rafe questions, a soft smile on his face as he looks over to you.

“my family can be… a lot sometimes. i wouldn't blame you if you couldn't be around them for a whole two weeks.” you explain softly.

“but then i would have to be away from you for two whole weeks.” rafe hums. “i can put up with them if it means being with you.”

“stop it.” you whine out. “you're gonna make me all blushy.”

“i love how easily i get you all flustered.” rafe laughs, pulling you onto his lap.

you've purposely only let rafe around your parents in small doses. they can be overwhelming, intense, and if they get on your nerves, they'll certainly get on rafes.

rafe holds you closer to his chest, his mouth finding yours. you allow him to kiss you for a minute before you pull away, much to rafes dismay as he frowns.

“okay, so to prepare you for them-”

“kiss first.” rafe interrupts. “prepare later.”

you can't argue with that logic.

--

“rafe, did you remember your socks and underwear?”

“mom!” you gasp. “he's a grown man, oh my god. you don't need to announce that in a crowded airport.” you hiss out the last part, a warning against any of her antics, not that it does anything to dull her.

“oh, relax sweetie.” she laughs. “i just don't want your boyfriend to have to get to mexico only to have to buy a pack of undies.”

“oh my god.” you grab rafe, pulling him a bit farther away from your parents, hopefully meaning they won't talk to either of you as much. “im so sorry about them.”

“hey, it's fine.” rafe presses a kiss to the top of your head. “just think about mexico. we're going to get there and lay out on the beach just the two of us. ill take you shopping and we'll spend all our money on tourist traps.”

“yeah, when my dad isn't forcing us to go to museums or cultural sites and my mom isn't snapping 1,000 pictures of us.” you look over at your parents only to realize your mom is taking a picture of you at this very moment.

your groan is drowned out by rafes laughter.

--

“mama, we are going out to the beach!” you call.

“oh, goodness!” she quickly rushes into the living room, the back patio opening up right onto the sand.

“be back in time for dinner, dears!” she says, grabbing a bottle of sunscreen and adding it to your bag.

“we'll be just outside, mom.” you say, allowing her to kiss both your cheeks. despite finding your parents overwhelming at times, you love them and know they love you too.

“rafe, she burns easily. make sure you reapply for her.” your mom says, pressing a kiss to his cheek as well.

“yes ma'am.” rafe nods.

you make your way outside before she can say anything else, walking until you're closer to shore.

“let me know when you need more sunscreen.” rafe smirks at you as you both lay out towels. “im always down to get my hands on your body.” 

“perv.” you laugh, making rafe growl and reach over to tickle your sides, ending up lying on the same towel in a heap.

--

your hand in rafes is the biggest solace as your dad continues on about the history of the town, deigning himself an honorary tour guide.

“sorry about this.” you squeeze rafes hand. it was interesting at first, but now that you're on the third hour of explanation about the architecture of one building or how the streets were made, it's becoming boring and manatonis.

“no problem.” rafe hums. “seriously you gotta stop apologizing, baby. your parents aren't that bad, plus, they made you, so i kinda have to thank them for that.”

“oh you're so sweet.” you whine, leaning in to turn your voice into a whisper. “you are absolutely getting laid tonight.”

“and you are absolutely getting treated to a beautiful and private dinner. i already talked to your mom about it. she called me a little romantic.” rafe smirks.

--

“you are a little romantic.” you giggle, reaching across the table to hold rafes hand, the flame of the candle flickering in between the two of you, appetizers and entrees finished, waiting for a dessert to split to be brought out to you.

“have to tell your mom she was right.” 

“hopefully they're asleep when we get back.” you can't help the smirk that stretches over your cheeks.

“oh, you are desperate for it, huh?” rafe laughs, sitting back as the waiter brings you out a chocolate cake dripping in fudge.

“it's been like four whole days, of course im desperate.”

--

“oh fuck.” you whisper, head tilted back against the sheets, rafe between your legs, thrusting mercilessly inside of you.

“god, you're so warm.” rafe hums out, burying his cock inside of you repeatedly.

“to-touch me.” you whine out, rafe instantly knowing what you're really asking for. “i need it.”

rafe drops his hand to your clit, rubbing it as he feels you pulsing around him as your high builds.

“nice and tight for me baby. and so wet.” rafe hums out, struggling to keep his voice low since your parents are asleep not far away.

“gonna cum- rafe!” you let out a gasp. “gonna cum, please.”

rafe moves as fast as his tired legs will allow, wishing he wasn't so worn out from the very long walk around the city with your father.

he makes up for his lack of pace with his thumb on your clit, rubbing and flicking over your bud until your high breaks.

your back arches off the bed with a moan as you cum probably a little too loud, rafe releasing inside of you only a moment later with a moan of his own.

--

“some mama and me time would be nice.” you smile, looking at the spa package your mom laid out in front of you.

“mhm. and your dad has something planned for him and rafe.” she says, looking over to your boyfriend.

“are you okay with that?” you ask, looking over at him as he eats his bacon.

“sure.” he nods. “would be nice to get to know him. one on one, ya know.”

--

“where are we going?” rafe questions, looking out the taxi window as it takes him further into the city.

“a shop.” your father just hums out, leaving it at that.

“okay.” rafe allows the silence to settle until they reach the store. he understands exactly why he's been brought here as he sees the storefront, advertising glittering bracelets and diamond rings.

“sir, i should let you know-” rafe clears his throat, reaching into his pocket to pull out the velvet box. “i already have what i think you brought me here to influence me to buy.”

your father's eyebrows raise in surprise as rafe continues.

“i haven't asked your permission yet, but i know i want to marry your daughter. i love her very much.”

“we would be honored to have you become part of our family, son.” your dad says, clearing his throat as tears well in his eyes.

--

“last night.” you hum, looking out onto the the water, the moonlight glittering over the waves.

“actually-” rafe smiles, tucking you further into his side. “we are extending our trip by a week. your parents are going home, though.”

“really?” your eyes widen.

“they insisted, actually.” he chuckles. “on one condition.”

“what's the condition?” you question as rafe sinks to his knees pulling out a box.

“that you say yes.”
