Rewatching Fantasy High and remembering that one of my favorite things about Brennan as a DM is that he consistently rewards kindness. Show some empathy to that random werewolf? You get a trusted mentor. Save that kid who was just trying to kill you? Lifelong friend. Rescue your evil sister? Redemption and shared healing. The final fight of Starstruck is full of people who showed up to help because, at some point, a character chose to be kind when they didn't have to. Even in brutal universes, kindness is harder to give, but it's still possible and still pays off in material ways. I love it.

I also think that all the "um okay knives out & glass onion were good. Wrap it up now" posts are so funny. You're tripping if you think there's not going to be at least five Benoit Blanc films lol

No YOU may be in the fandom trenches, but in my corner of the fandom there's a cafe where we all leave messages for each other to show our mutuals love and appreciation.

tagged by @dizzymisslizzie — thank you so much!

this year marked my return to writing after eight years away, so thanks to rwrb for getting those creative juices flowing again. i haven't written a lot, but also a lot more than in almost a decade, so i'm actually pretty proud about it.

i have several wips at the moment, two of which are close to 30k each already, one that i am determined to get back into now that i'm through the holidays, but i'm also working on something for @thebrownstone's wrap it up exchange that i need to finish first.

the people in this fandom have been so kind. i had a lot of anxiety about writing for something new, and getting into an already established fandom space. thank you to everyone who has been friendly, welcoming, and encouraging.

i've loved reading the amazing works, seeing the beautiful fan art, and interacting with all you wonderful folks. i look forward to all the more of it in the coming year. 💕

open tag for anyone who'd like to do their own round up and share what they put into the world in 2024!

actually i’m still thinking about it who else is doing d&d like cody walsh. he’s an ex-mall goth he swears his life and soul to every cool person he sees he's convinced he’s cloud strife he keeps accidentally stabbing himself with his own sword. he’s marrying a demon puppet chimera abomination to save the timeline because he reminded him of jack skellington he’s facing down the demon king of nightmares and he’s just nearly killed himself with his own sword again. and all he can think about is his broken fucking moped

Ok it's very funny to laugh at Tuxedo Mask for showing up and doing nothing, but his job was never to actually fight the monsters.

His job was just to show up and believe in Sailor Moon so overwhelmingly resolutely that she remembers she's a fucking demigod long enough for HER to fight the monsters.

Because she's the only one strong enough to do it in the first place, and in this regard Tuxedo Mask is the first example of being "Kenough" in this essay I will
