@sarahcakes613 and I, all we do is see curb stomp and mindmeld.

Wherever there is a @ship-ambrosia post about “hot” anime boys, there is a judgmental @grey-joys behind a screen somewhere

@ship-ambrosia I told you. Southron heresy.

"The Old Bear was particular about his hot spiced wine. So much cinnamon and so much nutmeg and so much honey, not a drop more. Raisins and nuts and dried berries, but no lemons. That was the rankest sort of southron heresy."

Its so funny that this is Jons job. Jons this heroic, badass warrior and here he is with a measuring spoon out making sure theres the exact right amount of nutmeg in this wine. Like jumping up with a no if someone brings lemons.

sometimes when i think of the infinights campaign i get so fucking mentally ill and want to cry and scream and shake and draw my feelings and talk to someone. but just because I think about how much fun it must have been to create and be apart of. imagine how much fun they all had while it was going on? oh my.goodness

patience really walked into court 15 minutes late with starbucks, said "i dont lose unless i want to", and then destroyed the other lawyer's entire career in 2 minutes flat

I'll add myself to the pool of ppl who (might delusionally) believe gojo ain't dead dead

I’ve been reduced to “a friend”. It chafes

My brother when Theon meets Yara and immediately hits on her/gropes her: “WHOA he IS a whore”

My brother when they reveal Yara is his sister who he didn’t recognize: “oh THATS some trauma. That’s gonna stick with him for the rest of his life”

you know, I think neji would enjoy playing dnd. getting to write stories and play characters with no limitations, and having to improv with the other players because he would never have full control of where the story was headed? it would be a dream come true, and also therapeutic. neji would of course be the dm who would "yes and" anything his players want to do. the story would be something everyone has input on and would help shape. an adventure that neji himself couldn't predict or write on his own. also, just imagine him describing his setting and doing all his character voices, he'd love that so much

I think it would be a good exercise for quartz too, because they'd have to make their own characters and backstories and roleplay in character without a script to direct them. especially to kisa "transparent vessel" tachibana, who can act out any character but is afraid of letting herself be seen through them. similarly, kai as well, since he'd be in charge of his own character instead of propping someone else up

on the flip side, fumi would get to enjoy playing a character but not having the pressure to be the lead/spotlight of a story. he's there to play, not perform

sou would also LOVE dnd. I think he'd be really into the character creation and lore, and is probably the next person I can think of who can try being the dm when neji is sick/tired/wants to be a player. he's the player who takes down notes and remembers one small detail neji mentioned four sessions ago that becomes relevant to the current session. neji loves him because sou is the one who appreciates his world building the most

suzu and fumi would instigate so much in the adventure, which neji would love. suzu makes a character everyone loves (like hachipochi) and always brings snacks to the table

fumi has read all of the player handbook, and mitsuki has read maybe a quarter of it (only the relevant parts to his character and how some dice rolls and combat work). mitsuki is also the one who doesn't put much effort into his character's backstory but unexpectedly gets big character development during the adventure, surprising everyone in the table including both the dm and himself

otori is very good at both roleplaying and combat, has created a compelling character, and tries to go on solo adventures but eventually gets roped into the party because he can't adventure alone in neji's setting

X2 Discovery Skit: Big Brother's Watching

@mathcs mentioned Julius' teleporting and I just knew where exactly to put it. lol Omniscient Julius, while not even remotely canon, is nonetheless one of the funniest concepts to imagine. THOU CANNOT ESCAPETH HIS WORRY.

[chloecorvid]

Oh, to spend 3 days on a comic about a sad part of your DND character’s backstory… but you’re unable to share it with anyone other than the DM and your not-in-the-game friends…

I’ll probably post it here but it’s… very gorey. So i gotta figure out these new posting filters first haha

[banannabethchase]

Sarah and I are on the same wavelength, Dannywise.

[grey-joys]

New Theon lore drop apparently

@ship-ambrosia

[wyntersecret-a]

!! Okay anything that was my turn from old blog I will be continuing as they're in my drafts. Anything that wasn't my turn before I moved I will be dropping. Doesn't affect current threads or new ones I'm doing here.

[multishipper-baby]

Infodumping really is a love language in it's own right.

We've almost finished Curse of Strahd and things are getting even more stupid and I love it.

Last session I missed the gang eating the creepy goat I had adopted which led to everyone suffering wild hallucinations, then they woke up in some cursed circus with a murderous clown.

That was all the backstory I was given.

It ended with us deciding we quite liked the character our DM was giving us with this clown so after we killed him, we had a very inane chat with him in which we learnt nothing useful, but we did learn how much we adored this goddamn clown so after extensive talks we chopped off his head, and I fashioned him into a balloon-companion by casting levitate on him, gentle repose, and speak with the dead.

Our DM made his head burst as we tried to take him out into the world. The betrayal was real. We lamented for at least 20 minutes. Then spent another ten trying to figure out how we could get him back.

We will get him back. It is the only quest that matters now.
