ttrpg player pro tip- just tell your GM when you have a plot in mind for your character. Ask for events to happen. Walk up and say "I want my evil brother to show up and be a huge fight and I try to save him from himself." Your GM will ADORE having a whole encounter outlined for her, you'll get to have an awesome scene play out, you'll be invested, your GM will be invested, it'll be memorable. Hopefully, just don't be foreceful.

The idea that you and your GM will be able to like, psychically intuit each other's ideas for character arcs is bullshit. This is a collaborative relationship; communicate!!

Second part of Crude Awakening, the dnd mini-campaign I ran, is finally out of editing hell and onto youtube! Expect the third and final part in, like, a month at this rate lol

Crude awakening is a "secret mission" campaign where my four friends were each given a level 12 character with three hidden goals to accomplish throughout the campaign. The first part can be found here.

If you genuinely, truly, absolutely, cannot bring yourself to vote for the president of the united states, please just show up for elections anyway and vote for your congresspeople and local representatives.

Please.

Just.

If you cannot bring yourself to vote for the president because he's so disgusting of a candidate you morally cannot bring yourself to cross that line, then PLEASE vote for your congresspeople and local representatives who can block, defend, or present new bills, actions, acts, etc.

These are the people who can actually confirm or deny or impede horrendous acts when they happen.

Like. This is the bare minimum. If you cannot vote for the President, please just still vote for someone.

Change doesn't happen if you don't vote for the people willing to enact change.

Look, I want to drag Biden into the streets of Palestine and let him face the true horrors of what he has been supporting more than I can rightly express. He is a genocide excusing monster that deserves every terrible thing you can name. The fact of the matter is though that when the upcoming election is over either he or Trump will be president, and Trump. Is. Worse.

We know for a fact he is so much worse in so many ways, he is a self interested criminal who doesn't give a shit about the country at large and the only thing he'll think about the actions of Israel is how much money he could make by illegally selling them even more weapons.

There are only two possible results of the election, either Biden will get another term or Trump will. The only thing it is reasonable to hope for is that, if enough reasonable people are voted into OTHER positions in the government, if enough people vote not just in the presidential elections but also in the state and congressional elections, those people will be able to force Biden to stop supporting genocide. The president is powerful, and it is important we keep Trump out of office so his trials can finish and he can go to jail for the rest of his life like he deserves, but reelecting Biden 1: is not going to make things in Palestine any worse than giving Trump the office back would and 2: does not make him god. There's only so much he would be able to do if state and congressional governments were staffed with politicians that actually gave a shit about stopping genocide.

Tldr: please vote. Not just presidential, vote in your local elections and the congressional elections too. Or else things will only get worse.

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

need a robotic nun to lightly rap me on the knuckles every time i chase temptation out of Compulsion rather than Desire, "if you're gonna Sin, at least do it through Agency and Intention rather than Base Impulse," she would say, "do it because you Want It, not Just because you Don't want to do Whatever You're Currently Doing"

"ohh what if my kid starts identifying as a CAT because of the trans agenda we have to prote—" well they've always done that. do you remember the psychological effects of h2o on young girls. of warrior cats on autistic children. i believed i was a demigod because of percy jackson. twilight came out and kids were telling their friends they were secretly vampires. this is just a thing kids do. worry less

I love man in a hurry’s cameo in hatchet town because it implies that 1) he carries a gun, 2) he has the gun because he’s in a hurry, 3) this is common knowledge, therefore 4) there’s a good chance he’s used it before, and 5) no one has done anything about this
