Coronation Street | Carla Connor + Daisy Midgeley (14th April 2025)

My last DnD hot take for now is that: I don't think "Problem Players" exist, and if they do, it's always a DM issue. I think they are a TTRPG boogeyman that has been blown out of proportion by reddit fake stories.

For context, I've been playing this hobby for 8 years now in friend groups, discord, and board game associations. More than half of those as a DM. I haven't once seen a "My dark ninja tabaxi unsheats his katana +4 of soul reaping" or other blatantly cheating characters at lvl 1, but I HAVE seen new players going "haha, yeah my ranger was raised by wolves" and older, more "veteran players" going pfft and overall being dismissive and very gate-keepy to what they thought was a silly concept art, to that player's face.

I'm a firm believer in "meet your players where they're at", and if someone created an edgy backstory being raised by wolves and all that? Hell yeah! You wrote something for me; that's more than half of the regular players have done. If the backstory doesn't fit the theme at all, then is up to both of you to work it into something that fits the genre of the story (do a goddamn session 0), but as Brennan said on AA, it's all about redirecting energy. Don't squash a new player's excitement because you think, in all of your experience and glory in TTRPGs, that they have a "boring" concept.

Now, what do I mean of "they're a DMing issue"? Have I met only perfect people and players whom I've never had problems with? no. While most of the people I've met on the hobby are wonderful, I've had my fair share of players that go from un-cooperative and PvP heavy, to several flavors of -phobic and straight up trying to play particular kinks in-game.

It's a DM issue because NOTHING stops you from going "Hey. Stop" when a scene gets out of hand. Stop Yes, and-ing someone who's making everyone uncomfortable. If someone is being a Problem Player at your table, you have two options:

Talk to them as adults and understand where the issue is. Are they new and thought this was a competitive game? do they feel insecure and are using humor too much and de-railing the game? Whatever the case, treat them with respect and genuinely try to put yourself in their place and understand where they're from. Remove the Problem and keep the Player.

2. If they're just an asshole, bigot, or a bad fit in general at your group, they can keep being a Problem but definitely not a Player.

So striker as a snake hybrid does it mean you share the soft underbelly like snakes?

oh lord I'm sorry for neglecting a bunch of asks, I honest to God didn't see a handful of them until now.

as for the underbelly, probably! I like that idea! I already make his belly a lighter color than the rest of him so it'd make sense that it's got softer/smoother scales.

maybe not precisely like a snakes (since, yknow, snakes use those scales to do their belly slither thing and striker doesn't need to do that even though that'd be hilarious) but definitely like that of a large lizard or something.

even though genetically speaking I guess that wouldn't have to come from snake genes given ive always sortof seen imps as reptilian in nature all on their own

Back to. What I do best. Which is low to no effort comics. I still feel like I should redesign my teatime Moe BUT... the mental image of this playing out was so powerful.

I've said in the past that a focal part of the dynamic is both of them managing to be extremely affectionate with each other while hesitating to act on their feelings -- however, I also think it's just as important. The fuck around and find out factor. The way Alfonse will just choose violence, sometimes. The way Moe can be really forward (jokingly or just completely forthcoming about it), but gets skiddish and jumpy when that affection is returned. AND. AND. The way Alfonse will just. Do The Most. MORE than The Most. He is returning the energy tenfold. One thing I believe in my heart is that if you think you're weird for something, Alfonse can and WILL prove to you that he can get Weirder about it. This here is a tame example all things considered, but it is an example!

Some close ups of my fave panels/sequences, hopefully less grainy 🧍

Realizing I probably could have taken close ups of all of them tbh..... too late now! It's dark outside. 😔💔

I was just ambushed within the turbulent halls of my own mind by some headcanons about rye ingellvar's childhood that did 15000000 points of psychic damage to me and my heart personally and also made me almost sure of how I want to play it all at the end (very very differently from how I imagined going in!). some 'oh holy fuck this changes everything' rocking my own world bullshit going on in my neurons right now I'm reeling

[sophism]

did you see the drama that unfolded the past week with various members of 5sos lol

nightbringer lesson 14 FUCKED ME UP in several ways but primarily I've spent the last 48 hours making myself sad over the solomon backstory we got. specifically I have, for no reason, latched onto that one chapter in the Kids event where baby solomon cried because he felt so guilty over being responsible for that spell. and that just feels a touch more depressing in context

My roommate is upset with me for not disclosing my psychiatric diagnosis and things I struggle with when we interviewed potential new roommates.

your superhero AU has broken my heart 💔💔💔 protective Ted is so important to me

thank you!! ive been enjoying playing with it. and yeah!! like. i just. protective, pining ted and trent's like i am NOT a damsel!! (<- in this instance, is, in fact, a damsel. he will make an exception for one (1) person)

and like more seriously just. the trust it's about the trust!!! trent doesn't rely on anyone and he gets himself out of bad situations and he's lowkey terrified of this hero who's got him cornered and he's been in this horrible situation for so long but then it's ted and he immediately relaxes. and ted--you know ted realized they had trent and immediately panicked and was ready to just bust in there and it was only beard holding him back and making him be practical about it that didnt have him just bursting through the walls ten minutes after realizing. and him realizing trent trusts him.... holding him and being like oh. i can protect him this way and i can comfort him this way and it's working... augh

anyway im glad you like it 😩

[coffeeandcalligraphy]

something I find very intriguing about lonan & harrison is that in moth work/feeding habits, harrison thinks about/reflects on/worries about lonan SO much, and when he does, it’s constantly about the past, what they’ve already been to each other, etc (often romanticized). the same could be said in body back. this is kind of his fatal flaw!!! ON THE OTHER HAND lonan barely refers to harrison AT ALL in in MW/FH and now also in hallowed bodies, but when he does, it’s typically about their future together (which obviously doesn’t exist because they’re broken up). anywayyy very intriguing to me. 👀

I have my shot drawn up (managed to stab my fuckin' finger with the back of the lid of the sharps container trying to open it in preparation, which is just stupid funny to me after being initially extremely irritating lmao. Ain't got the damn shot done yet, but still made myself bleed. What a talent I am lol)

I have about half of the cjizzy smut fic written (and my god im. i just love writing smut for these two so much. They're so much fucking fun, bc they both always find rest and safety and stability with each other in these moments, in between the cutest lil silly things and jokes and. These two!!!! also. also. trans izzy for this one bc I can)

It's gonna be three AM soon. I should sleep once shot and fic are done.

HOwever. However. I just remembered the idea I had for a smut fic involving modern au Ed and Izzy, the application of T gel (Ed applying it for Izzy), and then the dorks purposefully taking the drying/waiting period post gel application to start teasing each other until they can fuck (technically it isn't a super long period, but I remember when I was using it it was like. pls do try and not get it on other stuff/ppl/let it dry if possible before covering that area w/clothes, and try not to sweat a whole lot right away if you can help it. So like, in this fic, they've specifically carved out this time to do the application like this so that they can do this little routine: apply, tease, maybe cockwarm a little, then finally fuck once gel is dry and they've given it some time to sit/Izzy should be able to sweat safely lol)

So what if I just keep staying up and write that also. I'm tired, but every time I try to stop, my brain throws Additional Thoughts About Everything at me and uhhhh. That will prevent me from sleeping so like. What if I just do this and sleep later.
