#social distancing d&d

[rogerdelgado]

I'm late to the game for my Watcher Top 5 to celebrate Watcher's 5th anniversary. I blame tumblr! But, without further ado, here's to the Ghoul Boys and the rest of the gang that helped me get through the early days of the pandemic. I couldn't have done it without you! (Well, okay, I could...but it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun!)

Also, this turned out to be much harder than anticipated. I didn't even realize I'd watched so many different shows. I am leaving off Pod Watcher only because the OP didn't include it, and that makes it a little easier. Otherwise, it would definitely be in the top 3. There's nothing better than just hanging out, and that's the vibe you get from Pod Watcher.

Okay! Without further, further ado...

My Watcher Top 5:

#5 Survival Mode

I'm a gamer, so this one's a gimme. I love watching Shane and Ryan gaming together, and would 100% watch them play anything. Hoping there's another season of this on the way soon, but if there isn't, don't kill the dream! Would love to see the gang play Fortnite someday.

#4 Social Distanding D & D

I'm also a tabletop gamer! Much of my formative youth was spent DMing (that's Dungeon Mastering) small Dungeons & Dragons games to entertain friends and family, so to see Shane running the show was a lot of fun. Ryan's hilarious half-elf bard Steve still creeps into my thoughts on an almost weekly basis.

I know most people aren't socially distancing now, but Steve needs a comeback, so I'm always hoping for some version of this to make its way back into the production circle. The only reason this isn't higher on my list is because it's not an ongoing series.

#3 Are You Scared?

Who doesn't love a good ghost story? An urban legend? A creepy tale? Are You Scared? is like a grown-up Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark, only better because we get Ryan and Shane along for the ride! I recently binged the entire run for the first time, and it's so much fun.

#2 Ghost Files

Would I even be making this list if Ghost Files didn't exist? Probably not! This is what brought me into the fold, of course. Like Shane, however, I do not enjoy ghost hunting tv shows as a general rule. Everything typically feels a little too hyped and eventful for my skeptical mind to enjoy. It's the balance between skeptic and believer that really hooks you here, so whether you genuinely believe in ghosts (Ryan) or just like doing stupid things with your friends (Shane), you are represented here!

I've never encountered anything supernatural in my life, but I can get easily spooked by dark, unpleasant places, so I logically side with Shane, while emotionally bond with Ryan on every run. It's the perfect combo!

And, finally, my number 1 choice for my Watcher Top 5 is...

#1 Too Many Spirits

It's Toooo Many Spirits!!!

Okay, okay, a little explanation is in order here. How did two guys reading fan submitted stories around a bonfire while getting increasingly intoxicated make it to the top of my Watcher Top 5 Beatdown? Well, buckle in, because it's...not really all that exciting, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

2020 is here and with it...the plague of the century (so far...I see you H5N1)! I am an essential worker, so I get to go out into the big bad world and be expendable while other people discover sourdough starters. When I do get home and scrub myself into a state of sanity to rest up for the next day, I need entertainment!

So, after revisiting eleven seasons of Cheers (again), I decide I need a place where everybody knows my name, but...like ol' Sam Malone, I just gave up drinking, figuring I need my immune system at its best (which is still not great, but hey, we do what we can). Also, like Sam, what I find is a place where everyone gets increasingly more intoxicated while I get high on friendship! And that place is...Ryan's backyard? Someone's backyard anyway.

Somehow, Too Many Spirits became a way for me to find solace in sobriety while also enjoying the intense nostalgia of drinking with friends around a bonfire. All of this might sound a little pathetic, but it worked for me, and it helped get me through some dark times (along with my actual online friends who were all very supportive, too).

So, there we have it! My Watcher Top 5 Beatdown is complete!

Except..."You didn't mention Puppet History!!!" I hear you scream with rage. Well, that's because I've only recently discovered it! "How is this possible?" I hear you ask, your voice trembling with shock and awe. Well, what can I say, except...life is a process, man. I'm doing the best I can. And, I've found my next binge Watcher!

still thinking about ryan bergara deciding to make the littlest bastard of a man as his dnd character, give him two different accents, straight up name him "steve", and then reveal in a game altering plot twist that his father was real life american film director steven spielberg.

ngl i’m not even bothered by the monthly majima discourse cuz genuinely the rgg fandom is so much better than 99% of fandoms out there like thank god that’s the only thing we complain abt id rather than that than new drama every week (ahem ahem persona fandom..)

oh to live in a timeline where majima discourse is the only thing rgg fans complain about

[drzone]

-. not to post about fking sh.erl.ock in the year of our Lord & Saviour ND Stevenson 2023 but exclusive english speakers will never understand the linguistics based gasp-gutpunch-tearsinmyeyes of the scene where john asks homebaby to be his best man because if you watch the show in German when Sherlock asks 'i'm your best friend?' the 'you' John uses in his answer ('you are') is informal as the first time in the whole show they switched to 'du' rather than continuing to use the formal 'Sie' and it's such a beautiful dialogue choice i think about it every time i mourn the lack of differentiation between a formal and an informal 'you' in English

RAID SHADOW LEGENDS?!!?

[confused-wanderer]

It would be hilarious if villains loved Nightwing and were terrified of Officer Dick Grayson.

Dick Grayson- who is used to open spaces and adrenaline- being stuck in a boring bleak office, surviving on shots of coffee and red bull with caffeine that would make Tim concerned.

The thugs soon realised that unlike most of the other cops - Dick was from Gotham.

No one fucks with Gothamites.

Villain *shooting at Dick with machine guns*

Dick *appearing from the shadows behind him*: Boo.

Villain: THIS IS A FIVE STOREY BUILDING HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE

Or

Thief *throwing a counting down bomb at Dick*

Dick: *catching and tossing the bomb at a safe distance before turning round and shooting it so it explodes mid air while running after thief*

Thief: .. what the actual fuck

Dick: Gee look at all that time you had! Shame you threw it away :D

Thief:

Dick: I’m from Gotham

Thief *realising they fucked up* : Please don’t steal my bones

OR

Shooter: *sets elaborate booby traps throughout the houses in an active hostage situation*

Dick *using his training as robin and inhuman flexibility to surpass them with ease*: Ah been a while since I got to have a nice stretch thank you.

Shooter:

Dick:

Shooter:

Dick: .. Hi :)

Shooter: Are you Satan?

AND

In interrogation room

Murderer: I think I’ll take your eyes and add them to my collection

Dick *running on spite and caffeine that could give Superman a sugar rush* : Funny.. I was going to say the same thing to you

Murderer: .. what

Dick: I wouldn’t take your eyes though.. they look like the inspiration behind the whole Medusa’s “look at it and you turn to stone” thing-

Murderer: Hey! Take that back before I gut you

Dick *smile stretching wider without blinking* : oh? Or what? I know everything about you. Who says I can’t kill you and walk out with everyone being none the wiser? I know how to kill someone too..you aren’t special.

Murderer:

Murderer: I’m scared for my safety.

Because the thing is, Nightwing is who Dick really is. It’s who he can be free as, be himself as without red tapes and regulations. Where he can give as good as he gets, and he’s kind and empathetic. He gets to help the downtrodden and goes easy on most of them if they give up right away, not to mention the fact that he never causes permanent damage.

But officer Dick Grayson is a different story. He runs on sleepless nights and no self preservation. Seeing an officer with an uncanny skill set they’re scarily good at, not to mention the cheery attitude he always has scares the shit out of criminals. Cuz no way in hell is a smiling Gothamite not a deranged one. He chases crimes like a bloodhound, and isn’t afraid to make good on threats he makes to ensure they never hurt anyone again.

Bonus if the batfam doesn’t know about this.

Red hood: Shit I can’t believe we ended up in Bludhaven

Red Robin *tying up the corrupt politican* : Since this is a sensitive case, we need someone we can trust to make sure it is seen through.

Red hood: .. So we paying a visit to Officer Grayson?

Politician *screeching* : NO NO NO NO! PLEASE NOT HIM!! JUST KILL ME INSTEAD AND TAKE ALL MY MONEY I CANT DEAL WITH HIM!

Red hood: .. is he fucking serious?

Henchmen: Sir he is. And we agree. Please take our bones and kill us but don’t take us to Officer Grayson.

Red Robin: Wait what did he do?

Henchman 1: He asked boss if the hat was sentient.. and said that if it was would it make that hat the top and boss the bottom.

Henchman 2: Last time we met I tried to shoot him but suddenly my gun was blank and he raised his hand and let the ammo drop

Red Hood: Well even I could do that-

Henchman 2: They were my bullets. I had selected the colour personally.

Red robin *growing concerned*

Henchman 3: He sang a lullaby to a child when we were holding the station hostage, and replaced the people with my family members. He even sang their social security numbers!

Henchman 4: He’s the most dangerous of them all. I ain’t shitting ya when I say he’s as scary as the bat from Gotham.

*all nodding in agreement*

Red hood:

Red Robin:

Red hood: Nah that doesn’t sound like Dick

Red Robin: Agreed. Let’s go there Hood.

*villains’ sobbing intensifies*

I like to think about what if the Kaminoans just, fucked all the way up and made the clones telepaths on purpose.

Kamino is in the Rishi maze, the equivalent of total buttfuck nowhere. This is like a cattle processing plant in rural Montana manufacturing an order for Shenzhen as outlined by a third party intermediary from Monaco who keeps contact with neither production nor “client” and nobody’s first language is Basic. Jedi are like, totally psychic right? Right. Psychic army for psychic clients, sounds right, checks out. There are whole ass telepathic alien species out there, some of which are also Jedi. Why would they want NON-psychic clones. Get it done, Tally Ho or Nala Says or whatever her name is. Chop chop.

Cue like seven years into production and the Kaminoan project leads are starting to get some… inklings…. that maybe some of the deliverable specs were perhaps not so much well-researched as based off cross-galactic hearsay some underpaid analysts pulled off space reddit. This is a business, okay? You’re not gonna make profit manufacturing two million units of fucking anything if you treat it like a luxury product, but especially not if the product has goddamn childhood development & socialization needs. Of fucking course some shit maybe slipped through the cracks. What are we supposed to fucking do now, Lama goddamn Sue sir, tell the Jedi or the pickled fucking Sith that oopsie woopsie, we got the specs wrong half a decade in and have to start over again?

No. No we are not. We are going to lie our fucking semi-aquatic asses off, is what we’re gonna do, and so will you clones if you know what’s good for you. NONE of you are fucking psychic, and you never were. Got that? Understood?

Fast forward to Jedi pickup D-Day and every time anyone with a lightsaber gets within aural biosystem of choice distance the clones immediately start loudly and dutifully Having Conversations.

Hello Commander Sir, It Is I, Trooper McSoldierClone, What A Weather It Is Today, Ha Ha? Over. Yes Indeed McTrooper One Two Three Four, I Am Agree, Now Here Is An Order To Follow Which I Am Vociferously Giving You, Acknowledge Orally, Over. Every clone making rock-hard sweating eye contact like don’t fuck it up as they mentally chant encouragement and script notes and jeering performance feedback at each other. Cadets trooping to fucking speech practice to learn speaking out loud with all the enthusiasm and skill of the average white suburban Floridian teenager taking their fifth mandatory Spanish 1 class. The jedi are like damn these poor asylum grown freaks are so unsocialized and uncomfortable around us, Their Owners, this is so tragic and horrid and unfortunate and meanwhile every clone standing silently in formation is mentally spectating the 400-person telepathic tetris team sport they invented with the same vibes as a football world cup back alley street party complete with official & unofficial betting pools and expert panel commentary
