I have been and always will be a believer that if a baby carrier mod exists, the QSMP should have it but strictly for the eggs and maybe pets

Like the kids don’t have the walk, the parents just carry them around, maybe out of danger

Von Zarovich siblings

We have Strahd (23), Svetlana (25), Stanimir and Slavko (16), Sasha (12), and Sergei (5)

Background/headcanon under the cut:

So, admittedly a LOT of this is is just gonna be PURE speculation/projection from me, but hey, canon has One (1) Sibling set in stone and the rest is fair game. May this change if I learn more about him? Possibly, but my DM hasn't told me any of this doesn't fit so we'll keep it.

In my head, their mother had her first child at around 17/18, which was Svetlana, and then basically IMMEDIATELY after her husband was VERY keen to get a son, and so Strahd was born soon after. The twins were born a few years later, but tbh I reckon their father as the kind of man who still wanted to have as many heirs as possible just in case the first one dies or fucks up, so there may have been a couple of unsuccessful pregnancies along the way. Poor Lady Von Zarovich. She needs a cane to walk before she's 40 (what's that another reason for Strahd to subconsciously fear aging and the passing of time no waaaay)

I don't think any of these kids were particularly close with each other, the Zarovich household doesn't feel like a family that encourages outward signs of affection and I don't think it comes naturally to them (and when it does, it's discouraged, either purposefully or inadvertently). Sasha's the most sensitive, a quiet girl who just wants to avoid being in trouble.

Despite this lack of closeness, Svetlana was very much the Eldest Daughter and felt (and was made to) the need to look out for her younger siblings. In fact, she's the reason this painting exists; it was taken in the build-up to her wedding, as this would be the last time she and all her siblings would be back home together in one place. It's the happiest any of them have ever looked in a portrait.

On several occasions, the few times she saw him, she tried to offer to introduce Strahd to some nice noble ladies for him to settle down and marry. After all, as the eldest son, it first fell to him to continue the Zarovich name, right? But he always brushed her off, saying that could wait, his first priority was military conquest, he had time. In fact, tell you what Lana, after he's taken over this latest valley, THEN he'll let you find him a bride. It's just a small little valley, easy to conquer, surely these dusk elves won't prove too much trouble? We'll save those details for another post.

In fact, she helped find partners for all her siblings. Sure, 'love' was never a priority, but she felt more confident she could find them a suitable partner who they'd ALSO like and be cared for, not just letting political alliances take priority. That's her responsibility, as the eldest.

All the boys were expected to achieve greatness, and they mostly went for military prowess. Slavko in particular excelled, very confident in that one day he may even surpass his older brother. After all, whilst a mighty warrior, Strahd always preferred the role of tactician, of planning, of strategy. Not Slavko, he was straight in there with a sword, ready to fight whoever and whatever. His twin, though, was better suited to diplomacy. He was slighter, weaker, but cleverer. In another time, these two would have been the ones to have something of a Cain and Abel relationship....however, that never came to be. Slavko died on the battlefield shortly after he turned 30 (even if he didn't our boy Strahd blew them out of the water like GODDAMN DUDE)

Sasha fell ill in her mid 30s, and she too tragically passed away, her daughters and older sister by her side. A sister who watched too many of her siblings die before their time.

Svetlana lived a long life, raised her two sons well, but carried the heavy weight of her family's tragedy for the rest of her days. Stanimir, too, lived a good life, but even after having his own heirs, there was a melancholy relief that the Zarovich name soon faded out after their time. It carried far too much with it.

Steve and Eddie wanted to work on themselves and their fresh new relationship first. That way, once they were comfortable enough to share it with the Party, the inevitable mass of questions wouldn’t be so nerve wracking.

However, they failed to take into account having to act normal around them all first.

And how smart their damn kids are.

Thinking once again about the anniversary dinner, and about how the unusual isolation of Canaan House gives us the wrong impression about the lives of the scions, who would normally be surrounded by those retainers, attendants, and domestics forbidden in the Emperor's letter.

The Fifth clearly not only can and do cook, but enjoy doing so. If they're casually throwing together a dinner party for 20 people, you have to assume they've done something in that ballpark before.

But for all that we get Magnus' self-effacing comments about being better at making dessert than duelling and non-threatening, apron-wearing Abigail, this is something that will be very much a hobby for them. Abigail is the feudal despot of perhaps the most powerful House in the Dominicus System, and Magnus is a chief civil servant at the heart of the imperial bureaucracy. They may have the facilities to and enjoy cooking for each other and their friends. But they are almost certainly not doing that regularly.

Nor are they hosting a dinner party in quite the way us plebs would think about it.

Most of us probably don't casually invite 20 friends, acquaintances, and rivals round on whim, but then again, most of us don't have the domestic assistance they're clearly used to and still have access to in Canaan House:

"The appearance of two skeletons bearing an enormous tureen of food...under Abigail's direction, they filled everyone's bowl..." "...the various Houses stood around with warm cups in their hands to watch the skeletons clear up...listening to...the clatter of skeletons with used up knives and forks."

They may have cooked a fantastic spread, but it seems like the tables have been set (with those "yellowing tablecloth[s]" brought out of "deep storage") by the skeleton servitors. The food has been served and cleared away by them. Perhaps they have also been involved in some of the preparation - after all, it is much more pleasant to cook when you don't have to chop onions for 20.

This is 100% a "seeing myself" thing, but I freaking love so many of the hermits seem to use pestering as a significant part of expressing affection, as a whole Love Language just of pestering and bothering

For valentines day, I made something for my true love: terrible video game valentines cards with the comic sans font /silly. Feel free to use, please no credit. Actually, don't use them, you probably will get rejected.

reminder that taiya has known genba longer than anyone on the team. this was implied in the series and in the episode blogs, but was also shown in chapter three of the comic when genba notes taiya has a new informant, confirming that he already knew taiya prior. i think back to early episodes and recall that genba had a boonboom booster prior to getting his change axe. he also noted that he and taiya had prior conversations in which he turned down taiya's offers for him to fight as a boonboomger. genba has really been a part of this team the longest, he just didn't officially change until after the others (excluding sakito bc that's a separate thing that we don't have an exact timeline on).
