I’ve decided that Antonio Banderas is my headcanon voice for Beef. Looking forward to rewatching Steve Legends with this headcanon in mind.

Colle before the demon war: if anything happens to us, we’re all going to meet again in The World Beyond.

Sharp, chilling completely alone in The World Beyond because Beef probably went to child friendly hell, Professor Red straight up never dies, the Elite Leader was stuck in the catacombs, and Colle went to Alex forever:

Someone in that super long thread brought up the 2e class-specific XP idea (fighters get experience for dealing the killing blow, thieves get experience for finding treasure, etc.), and I'm curious your thoughts on it. I started playing in 3e, and that probably affects my opinion, but the idea of the character levels drifting because individuals are getting "bonus xp" just sounds like it would make life so much harder. Of course, I've also heard that in 2e different classes had different xp requirements to level up, which is also mind-blowing to me.

I haven't played AD&D 2e specifically so individual class-based XP awards are not something I've experienced, but I've got some context I can give to the other questions :)

Pre-WotC D&D was kind of a hodgepodge held together by duct tape but there were some good ideas underneath all the jank! The different XP tables for all the classes are one such example, because it meant not all classes had to be balanced against each other because theoretically the balance could be enforced through differing XP goals. I won't say it was ever perfect, but there was something to it: Clerics and Thieves which started with relatively little would hit their second level first, with Fighters soon to follow, and Magic-Users... Well okay, since playing a 1st-level Magic-User kinda sucked already it was kinda bad that they had to wait the longest to get through the early levels. It was by no means perfect.

So levels were very much not expected not to be uniform across a whole party. Even characters of the same classes across the same party could have different either because of individualized rewards like the ones in AD&D 2e, bonus XP from high ability scores (a questionable design choice imo), and actually participating in games! The idea very much was that you had to be there for a game for your character to level up. It wasn't there just to reward attendance or punish missing sessions, but as far as I've understood there also was something of a tradition of not tying your character down to a specific campaign or narrative. Gonad the Barbarian could appear in Steve's campaign, The Chronicles of Steve, one week, only to guest star in Liz's campaign, The Legend of Elizabethia.

I know this may sound downright bizarre to many modern RPGers, but it's actually a really fun playstyle, and idk I think we should bring back the idea of just taking Your Guy across multiple different tables across the universe.

Also, one more cool thing about the old class experience point tables: they served to balance multiclass characters! Of course in those days multiclass characters worked completely differently: you picked your character's (at most three) classes at character creation and were married to them, and every time your character gained experience you would divide them up between all their classes. And each of their classes advanced individually.

So assuming had a party consisting of Beef the Thief and Eric the Cleric and Blighter-Dave the Fighter/Mage: Beef needs 1,250 to get to second level. Eric needs 1,500. Blighter-Dave needs 2,000 for Fighter, 2,500 for Mage.

At 2,500 XP Beef is actually at 3rd level (the amount of XP needed for a Thief to get to level 3), Eric is at level 2 and 500 short of level 3, and Blighter-Dave is still at level 1/1, because he's had to divide his XP between two classes. But because the XP needed to advance doesn't grow linearly, while Blighter-Dave will never quite catch up to his friends, once their levels start plateauing he will only be one or two levels behind his pals in his highest class level.

And I think that's pretty neat!

Hehe welcome back yall I have ✨️Steve Legends✨️ content for day 12 of Stevetember- bygone! Got the Red Elites AND Dream n Genesis :3

I'm really proud of how it turned out!! Usually I'm not good at making different like facial structures n body types- We've got, left to right, Genesis, Beef, Spark, Sharp, Dream, Goggles, Boss, and Colle!!! My boysssss ❤️💙💚 tbh idk what the heck Genesis is wearing lmao

Also while I was looking at their mc skins I accidentally removed the top layer on Genesis n Dream and-

THEY NAKEY. Seriously has anyone noticed that Dream has a lil face on his chest 😭 they look so goofy lol

[ender-niffler]

I cannot believe I have to say this, SO

To that very specific side of Steve legends fandom!

THE 👏 ELITES👏 ARE 👏NOT👏BLOOD👏RELATED 👏

NOR IS SHIPPING TWO ELITES TOGETHER INCEST.

They are written to be a found family! They have that bound because of the time they spent together, both at the academy and training-

It is implied they met through the elite training course and have history together

“But Beef Called Colle and Sharp his family!” AS a term of endearment, because they were about to go into battle? With the possibility of not making it out the other side!

Other medias have done this with their found family tropes, examples like Kipo and the age of the wonder beasts, the party from the DND movie, etc etc etc. it’s a common thing amongst the found family trope

And ik they’re probably gonna come get and say ‘where’s your proof that says they’re just friends?’

Oh I got my proof!

Here’s almost every single screenshot of the characters referring to one another as friends, as well as outside characters referring to them as a a friend group

Not including all the times Colle himself refered to Beef or sharp as his friends!

I’ve even added Goggles too since he’s canonly Colles best friend-!

It’s definitely not EVERYTIME they called one another friend or friends, but it’s enough proof

“But sometimes family call one another friends!” No they don’t. When has that ever happened? Never.

If they where actually related they would refer to one another as ‘brother’

Please, Stop throwing around the word incest when people say they ship characters together like Beef and Colle, or a Colle and Sharp- or sharp and beef, etc etc etc.

You can have your own personal headcanons when it comes to character dynamics. But please for the love of god stop calling it incest, and stop harassing people who do ship two elites together

Especially the younger fans. That’s not cool. You’re just an ass.

TLDR- Shipping two elites together is not incest, they are written to be a found family. Stop making up sh*t to make your headcanons ‘canon’ to shame other people in this fandom

" ... Just dropping by to say that.. All of you need therapy. " " Especially that trembling sweet berry [Colle] over there. "

" Seriously, are all of you okay? "

*Colle looks confused...* "S-sweet berry..? Uh.. i don't need therapy.. I'm.." *he hesitates before continuing,* "I'm fine... and.. yeah, we're.. ok..."

*Beef answered, continuing after Colle...* "As ok as we can be..." *he sighed softly...*

[incorrectstevesagaquotes]

Colle: Beef is washing the dishes and I just heard him say “Who do you work for? Who’s your contact?” while repeatedly pushing a glass under water.

Sharp: At least he’s having fun?
