Hello! I would like to request "home" for the fanfic wip ask game, please.

Have a lovely day!

Ooh fun! Here's one from my zayn/adaine wip

He leans over her shoulder to look at her prepared list for tomorrow, and hums in approval. Adaine smiles and reaches for a card with a verbal component written out. It’s all very cozy and academic, until Aelwyn gets home.

Thanks for asking, I hope you have a lovely day too!

ok @glitter-stained in a truly inspired move of unparalled genius said MisMag coffee shop au: the Hoopty is the coffee shop so i'm playing with that now!!! here's my take on it:

cute little cafe with dim yellow lights and tables whose tops are painted in muted jewel tones

there's a mural stretching across all the walls and the ceiling of a massive dark dragon/snake thing

little figurines/plushies of strange creatures scattered throughout the cafe, some visitors find them creepy, some find them charming

jammer 's a barista - sam used to work there as well but she doesn't any more because she's pursuing her inexplicable but incredibly successful career of...being famous? no one actually knows what she's doing, but she's doing amazing at it.

sam posts about the coffee shop on social media a lot, but never actually gives any identifying information: this, and these people are hers and hers alone, a lot of her life is lived in the spotlight but this place will stay in her heart

K is a regular, comes in and sets up their laptop and orders as much black coffee as they can stand. it does get to the point where jammer just installs a little tech corner

the tech corner then gets used by so many students who come in

i think the students build a mythology around K: if they touch your laptop you'll get an A on your next exam or something. the students are also scared of them but if they need help then K will do their absolute best

this does result in a busted laptop in an incident that also means the shop has to be closed down for a couple of days.

i think probably the plushies of the creatures were made by K and Jammer: like maybe Jammer was trying to sew a wolf plushie but accidentally put the pieces together wrong and its head got sewn on upside down. K likes to make chimera plushies as a fun creative excercise. sam gives all the little guys names

order kiosk with googly eyes that they affectionately call Tabby

jewel (leep director) is also a regular - this is how jammer starts volunteering there because i do adore jammer working with kids with my entire heart

i think evan wandered in one day to get probably just a black coffee and maybe a discounted smashed pastry or something before he got talking with jammer and then he starts working there too

One of my favorite D&D gags that I ever came up with is part of a oneshot I've run a few times where the party is hired by a young wizard to help clear out a few active security measures in a tower that the wizard inherited from her old teacher.

The first obstacle to be cleared is the re-animated skeletons that the old wizard was using for gardening help. It's a pretty straightforward fight, but during the encounter, players may notice one particular raised bed of herbs that is set back in a corner of the garden by itself.

Upon further investigation, this one raised bed is absolutely shining with magical protections. There are runes carved into the wood of the bed, gemstones inlaid in the top of it, this bed is absolutely protected out the ass... and an arcana check shows that the protections are all pointed inward, attempting to keep what's in there from getting out.

What's growing in that raised bed, you may ask? What is so dangerous that the old wizard felt the need to place all these protections?

Mint.

[unsleepingtales]

Oh boy those content warnings look fun. Mismag episode four time?

(Excuse the lack of excitement please I’ve had a shit day and this promises yet more emotional damage) (I know I’m choosing to watch this I promise I’ll turn it off if it feels like it would be bad for me to keep watching)

Not the long back

Oh god

He has every right to be saying this but ouch

Okay so this is reasonable and devastating

SAM

That’s the thing that gets Brennan to break

Oh god Sam is a child of divorce and her saying that HITS

K. K. This is not it? Maybe?

Where’s Brennan’s mic bc it sounds a bit weird

Ooooh cool shadow stuff

Oy.

Disturbing!!!!

Is there a conspiracy about my ass happening in the group right now?

Yeah Evan there is 100% a conspiracy about your ass

Cool cool. So that was jokey but definitely implied K is still into Evan

His BODY

Uh

Maybe it’s the book he picked up?

UH

Hmm! Upsetting.

This is not great for my mental health 😐

Is Carlos doing this live or did they have him record new stuff in between episodes?

I mean that’s fair you did earthquake him

Aabria looks surprised so I am gonna guess Carlos was doing that live

There’s a lot of rules for sleeping outside

That is disturbing buddy

LEVITY THANK GOD

Are you gonna do a scrubbbbb

I love the editing on this

The face dropping the minute you get off the call is SO real

Oops oh no

UH OH

ERIKA WHAT

The very model of a modern chipmunk animal 😭

Awwww them

This is fun

Oh nooooooo

I love him SO much

That is. An ADHD symptom.

Hey babygirl what are you doing

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

Ok so maybe that was prerecorded because they just had that projection ready to go

You’re gonna shoot a cocaine spell into your MIND

They can help now!

What’s a fun cocaine movie 😭

I just watched Aabria’s eyes light up at challenging Erika lmao

Okay her art is pretty

I love table acting. I think every actor should have to play a ttrpg and learn how to act and communicate within the confines of a table and it will be helpful!

Well at least she’ll have something in common with Tabby

GET FUCKED sorry that was a gut reaction to a British person using the American version of a word because I have been slowly infecting my British partner with Americanisms and our friends and their family never let them hear the end of it lmao

Cocaine!

Hello?????

Oh my GOD how did we get here

What?

A skrillion!

Lemli! Hi!

Brennannnnnnnn

Incredible. Five questions. You rock.

Evan!

That’s soooo unsettling.

Discomfort is a great place for everybody here to be and we can all bump up the paranoia by one!

Iconic tbh

HI!

I don’t have the strength to explain skibidi toilet 😭

Ooooh boy oh boy

The matrix crossed with Glinda’s bubble that’s really cool

Oh for fucks SAKE

Another dc 40 for Erika whyyyyy

Oh god

Oh FUCK HER

Holy shit that’s hot. Sorry but. Oh my god that’s hot.

What’s the smallest most efficient effort that makes a living person a dead body? I’m sorry but that? Is hot.

Evan immediately no hesitation snapping his wand to kill the person who attacked someone he loves. HOT.

Oh my GOD that’s terrifying. Hot. A silent custodian walking through the halls of her mind turning off her lights.

Art!

FUCK.

Listen I didn’t claim to be okay ever.

Oh this is interesting also

Sorry I’m. Fine.

Oh this could go so wrong.

Hey nobody look at me for a minute I’m gonna be in the corner processing my reaction to Brennan’s facial expressions just now.

This is FINE I’m not gonna rewatch that scene what are you TALKING about.

We’re fine we’re moving on we’re processing.

Sam not to be weird but yeah why the fuck would you put yourselves through that again for someone who did try to kill you and also just tried to break your shit and hurt your friend.

Attacking someone I love around me gets you dead. Yeah that’s it.

The bad part of cocaine!

Oh god. Oh that’s so horrifying. Oh Aabria you’re so good at what you do.

That’s heartbreaking and terrifying oh god.

Fuck.

A moment of peace. Okay.

Yeah Jammer hasn’t said anything in a While he doesn’t look like he’s having a good time

Glad I’m not the only one who thought that was fucking TERRIFYING

They’re friends!!

God. This is why he left.

Aabria. FUCK.

So next episode looks. Fun.

[unsleepingtales]

kristen applebees (i just finished season one) (its epic)

[unsleepingtales]

someone please stop naming these characters so similarly 😭 ↳ bonus:

[unsleepingtales]

Sometimes stupid ideas come to mind and I have to draw them.

[unsleepingtales]

hi, blacked out and woke up to these, haven’t even finished the season yet

@aceforwhatevenisthis I sent you the one but then more appeared to my brain

[unsleepingtales]

Yayyyyyyy reaction posts are back! Mismag is back!

I have been shifting my sleep schedule slightly so we might have another multi day watch period bc it’s very possible that I fall asleep. Anyway here we go!!

Ngl. Saw the hemophobia Hold On Reaction Cancelled Why Did My Phone Try To Autocorrect That To Hemophilia

Uh

Anyway

Moving on!

What I was gonna say was I saw the hemophobia warning and misread it as homophobia and was confused. That was all.

Oh GOD

Cool dome things!!

Sorry I’m still thinking about the hemophilia thing. Why does my phone think hemophobia isn’t a word but hemophilia is. Have I really had that many conversations about it before. What’s up with that. Dragging myself back to the episode.

Erika looks so stressed

SHIT I don’t even think that was on purpose

Fuck

K cares SO much about Evan. God.

Fuck that’s his Best Friend

They’re trying so hard.

Oh my god we’re less than fifteen minutes in this is so horrible. They’re so good at this.

Oh fuck that’s cool but also so creepy

How did Aabria make mechanics for this so quickly

Possessing!! Oh!!

Oh my god Brennan is so good. This is so fucking creepy.

BRENNAN WHAT

BRENNAN

Oh this is so deeply upsetting.

“Like the understanding of what you should feel rather than feeling” and like you’re viewing from down a hallway and being intangible and the entire haunting motif and I’m NOT supposed to connect that to my derealization????

Oh my GOD

Oh my god Sam. She loves him so much.

God. Lou.

All of them. Just all of them. When focus shifts to K I’m not gonna be able to handle it.

Hey I was RIGHT.

The props!!

Magic leaving a mark on the. I guess ethereal plane?

Oh god.

Oh fuck me.

Oh god Evan doesn’t know that Jammer stopped to cry.

I’m gonna lose my shit gang.

Oh god.

EVAN

Brennan you’re so smart and it’s a LOT

Phrasingggggg

I’m gonna cry before this episode is over.

Hey buddy? That’s fucked up.

This is fucked up!

Family on six. Augh.

Christ.

The art department at dropout is astounding

What is up with this rock.

The best friends of all time. He’s lightly possessing her. She’s the only one who can look at him.

Aabriaaaaaaa

Fuck

Goddamn it I’m falling asleep and I want to be able to finish the ep but I don’t think I will :( I’m one hour in. Regardless of how much I end up catching before I fall asleep I should pick up from an hour to get everything

The frost of it all…

Yup. Fell asleep. I really want to finish tonight because this weekend is Yom Kippur so I won’t be able to watch the rest until Sunday if I can’t. Here we go!

Erika is doing a beautiful job with K being very untethered rn

One scrillion coins :)

Oh that’s COOL

Oh god Teddy

They are so good at this game

No but I also want to know about the sock. Whose sock is that.

Them!!!!

Ooh creepy

She’s so good at breaking tension

She’s so smart god.

Let’s fucking go/it’s gorgug keep going <- these are the same
