Poppet is adorable. Are there any character details you can share about them?

-shes actually a grown-ass cat, she just has dwarfism-her mum, Snuffkin, and siblings Monty and Bronty are regularly sized tabaxi. Her dad, Romeo, also has dwarfism and hes a tuxedo cat-

^ (romeo is an accountant)-She is a very bad wizard, and frequently gets distracted because of the bells on her staff

-its ok i love her anyway

I’m starting to get the impression that Tolkien’s elves are, at their worst, like TB: they certainly act all haughty and superior, but in truth they still are people with all of the little flaws, vices, and “improper” behavior like the rest of us gremlins. Even in Middle-Earth’s history, elves are the elder race, though not by much, and certainly were not immune to making very bad decisions. They just live forever and don’t have an afterlife, just a continent-sized retirement home.

Oh they are very much like TB at their worst--and a few I would reckon even worse. I mean, look at Feanor and the Oath. “Fuck everyone, fuck the gods, fuck Morgoth (Sauron’s boss and OG Bad Guy), these jewels that I made that could possibly revive the holy trees that brought light to the world are for me and my family alone.” Feanor and his sons were the catalyst of the first instance of elves killing other elves. Because fuck you the pretty diamonds are ours.

Luthien’s father Thingol sent her human boyfriend on a seemingly impossible task so that they could never get married. 

Maeglin sold out his whole kingdom to Morgoth so that he could rule it and get the girl (who was his near cousin). (This ended up badly.) His dad probably forced a marriage with Maeglin’s mother and probably forced himself on her in other ways.

The elvenking (Thranduil) in the hobbit and the gatekeeper and guards get drunk as FUCK and party all night. Thranduil himself is...

Look he’s just TB. In one passage he basically says to thorin “HOW DARE YOU BE LOST IN MY WOODS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.”

askpenwright replied to your post: I have discovered Minecraft. brb forever i guess

How heavily modded? The Thaumcraft mod is awesome if you like playing a wizard.

I have not a single mod

I’ve just created an underground pool in a sauna style. I nearly drowned in the process.

First thing that came to mind is that Nahyuta looks normal, but is actually possessed by a literal legion of demons or other entities. They work fairly well with each other which is why no one has noticed thus far.

That’s a cool idea! However the cornerstones of the AU are

People with mythical names are their names.

Prosecutors are already extra enough and are normal people.

That being said, I really like your idea! That can be like... an alternate AU. Because who’s stopping us from making more? Nobody is who!!

Headcanon: Adult Crayon would be a mix of humble and utterly pretentious. He never forgets what it was like to grow up in the streets and is kind and understanding to those with similar struggles and supports programs to help nurture the creativity of the underprivileged. For those who unfairly criticize his work, however, he shows no mercy. Also, never get into an artist suffering contest with him. You will lose horribly.

that’s not what I have planned, however it is a REALLY interesting divergence given it’s such an extreme difference 

The pretentious part I can really see. Getting sick of being overlooked for this that and the other and finally growing a spine to present himself. Getting defensive would be a great cover up for his fears of failure 

100% he’s in support of programs to help folks in bad situations, and in its own branch that does happen in the canon story, though it’s a lot less government or crowd funded and much more self funded

... This version of his adult self would wear a turtleneck unironically

👊 …someone who hates my muse, so that her champions may be better vigilant for them.

She pulls out a list. “Let’s see...hmmm...Captain Cato Sicarius of the Ultramarines, oh yeah he’s not going anywhere. I’ve scarred him for life. The Imperial Inquisition...not shocked..especially that Inquisitor who called me an uncultured abomination Lady Aleanbh Ó Frighil...uhuh yeah I bet she got picked on in the playgrounds...hmmm. All the Loyalist Primarchs who know me hate me...All the Traitor Primarchs especially that one I used to serve. Well Lord Angron doesn’t hate me...nor does his equerry, or Lord Mortarion.. so that’s not too horrible...Huron Blackheart...oh wait no, he actually is quite a good man by Corsair standards and I like him in the most platonic way...all the Chaos Gods...” she threw the list in the air and incinerated it with her mind. “That’s a long list, Vico. I think we should just assume that most of them hate me...with the exception of a few...maybe we should just make a list of those.”

@ask-terracotta-jade @askpenwright @miss-sheepy

OOOO OKAY.  EXCITED YOU GUYS WANNA HEAR :D

Anyways!! Meet Flea! She is my werewolf druid :D (Flea’s not her real name btw, her friend gave her that name)

Since my bf is our DM, he let me use her as a werewolf with some modifications, mainly she’s not so resistant to....well, everything.  Shit still hurts.  She’s what is known as a Moon-touched werewolf, so she’s born into lycanthropy.  They can have humanoid forms and stuff but mainly they stay like big woofs :D Moon-cursed are the usual werewolves people know about and the freakin indestructible ones lol

Session 0 was mainly a roleplay chat in Discord, Flea tried to pass herself as a longtooth shifter but clearly failed due to some bad rolls.  She was travelling with my friend’s dragonborn, Vasira, before they met up with my bf’s PC, Viktor the Kobold, and @askscribbly​‘s goblin, Popper.  Viktor’s kind of like... a party member NPC that does more lol.  We just wanted my bf to join the fun ok and Viktor is a delight.  

Viktor mentions a problem in the nearby town of Blackwood with him looking into another incident dealing with a wife’s husband missing, who turns up dead on the road with a note in his pocket from the brother in Blackwood.  The four decide to group up and see the problem through since why not, they’re all going there anyways.

Session 1 starts off with them entering Blackwood, the four directly heading to the tavern.  Flea’s allowed to have a normal wolf form that doesn’t count as Wildshape, so she’s in that because... well, a normal wolf is less terrifying than a fricken werewolf and everyone else in the party minus Vasira are kind of races that get kicked around.  They enter the tavern: Popper instantly looks around and sees a hooded figure at a table doing card tricks, so he’s gonna go look over there, Vasira went to the bar to speak to the tavern owner, Fritz.  

And Flea? For technically the first rolled action she does in the live campaign?

She goes and begs for table scraps.  Had to roll for performance, which she has no bonus modifier in.

AND SHE GOT A 19.  SHE GOT THAT TABLE SCRAPS AND IS THE BEST DAMN WOLF EVER.  GODDAMN HILARIOUS.  These people are fucking enamoured with Flea in her wolf form.  

Viktor comes over and apologizes for ‘his dog’ and gets some info on how there’s no animals nearby.  Vasira learns about dead bodies missing and Popper... well, Popper made a friend. Vasira rents two rooms for the night and it was decided it would be Viktor and Vasira in one room and Flea and Popper in the other.  Flea has the cantrip to speak to animals, so she begins to perform that ritual so she can speak to Popper’s mount, a mastiff named Cecilia.

Was kind of a weird...philosophical session with the dog.  Flea doesn’t really know if she gained anything out of it, but she opened up to the dog because no one else can speak to the dog but Cecilia mentioned to keep what she said a secret haha.  Whew.  Definitely helped Flea feel less strict around Popper, but she was still on edge. Vasira and Viktor are having a helluva powerful talk downstairs and Popper was invited to the cloaked figure’s room.  TBH, ask @askscribbly​ about Popper and his adventures, I’m sure they’d love to expand LOL.  

BUT SUDDENLY.  SOMETHING CRASHES IN AND GRABS A HALF-LING.  EVERYONE (minus Flea) HEARS THIS, INCLUDING THE DOG, SO FLEA’S ALERTED AND THEY GIVE CHASE.

Turns out to be a fucking scarecrow.  A SCARECROW.  AND THUS OUR FIRST BATTLE BEGINSSSS.

Vasira rages, Viktor attacks and has pack tactics, Flea tries primal savagery but nothin’ happening.  Physical attacks doing shit.  Flea almost gets knocked unconscious but survives with 1 HP, she’s pissed at this thing now. AND POPPER, DEAR LOVELY POPPER, HEALS HER.  AND SHE.  RIPS THAT FUCKING THING.  TO SHREDS.  LIKE A CHEW TOY.  And thus Flea got the first kill of the night.

There ends up being a letter tucked away and while Flea can read the script of the name signed at the end, Vasira can actually read Elvish, so they figure out it’s Popper’s friend, who’s name is Saelithia.  They approach her with questions and got confirmation it was written by her, so we went to her friend’s house who was named in the letter.  Popper found a journal nearly ellibile minus four entries and how a strange discus object was connected to Tom (the friend).

Next they headed to the tree where Tom was hung, Flea was able to use detect magic to see a conjuration chain and undead chain across the hole of the tree.  She stuck her paw in and it fucking hurt.  Viktor and Popper hit them too and it hurt as well.  Nobody learns a lesson and Vasira severely disappointed derg-mom.

They go back to Saelithia with the journal and she returns with them to the tree, but kind of stuck so they went to go check out the two other problems: missing bodies and missing wildlife.

They head to the cemetery, fucking undead attack and Vasira destroys them with firebreath.  Vasira finds a monastery in the graveyard and we find this gross and awful mass of flesh and shit causing the undead shit.  Popper gets knocked out but Flea returns the favor and heals the dude. Viktor kills it because he’s bad ass and I love him.

Afterwards they go to look what’s causing the wildlife to go missing, which turns out to be a Maw Demon.  OOF. Viktor and Vasira are doing close-range, while Popper and Flea stay back and do long range. Popper gets the final blow with sacred flame.  Our heroes are worn out and go back to the tree, finding the chains broken and the hole open.

...But before anyone could say they should rest, Flea charges in (probably high on the excitement) with Viktor chasing after her.  Vasira and Popper just kind of... stare off in disbelief  Vasira’s owner even drew it lol.

And that’s where session 1 ended :D We got our next session next week and I’M PUMPED AHHH.

Not to derail the Tolkien train, but random thought for a Frozen AU: Momo as Hans. Gallant goofball hiding ruthless ambitions, even if he has to crush a few hearts in the process. Yay or nay?

Hans, who does all the same bad things, but with good intentions. Although I think some little glimmer of good would prevent him from letting Anna die. Maybe out of the way so he can kill Elsa and potentially save Arendelle because he 100% knows she’d get in his way, but I don’t think he’d have quite enough ruthlessness to let her die.

[seawitchsteph]

Forgot to put some of these up!! Characters, in order, belong to @askpenwright, @ask-factory-scootaloo, @ask-wisp-the-diamond-dog, @zenaquaria, @brehtnecropolis, and @sparkling-snake! All these characters have been amazingly fun to figure out costumes for!

Agreed, Tidus is a good example of a gentle, benevolent badass Boy Scout that isn't afraid of improvising when the situation calls for it, which is the impression I'm repeatedly given of Guilliman.

I suppose this would mean that Titus would receive a pat on his not-as-smol head from Guilliman for being a paragon among Ultramarines in that sense.

Gives good son head pat and thumbs up.

[crayonurchin]

I almost want to say that Kiddo is some kind of faerie changeling. Not necessarily of the same kind as the things in the park, but enough that he gets by or is at least ignored by them, or he just seems to have an innate grasp of how they work, enough that even he and Ed are on the same wavelength on how to deal with them. Well, the whole changeling idea is Peregrin Wright’s theory, at least, but there’s just enough evidence that he’s not entirely wrong.

that... is not a bad shout, actually :0

I’d have to do way more research into faerie changelings, but that’s a unique idea for Kiddo!

I discovered @ask-ickle-muse a few months ago, and around the time I finished reading through all of it, also found the song ‘Give You the World’
