Summer Spice | 01: Beware of Dwarven Mead [DnD:HAT | Xedgin]

Another year, another @summer-spice. This time with an actual blog for it. You find the overview of the prompts here.

The first prompt was Loud Sex. And I decided to this time start with Xedgin for this.

Beware of Dwarven Mead

Fandom: Dungeons and Dragons - Honor Among Thieves Shipping: Xenk/Edgin Genre: Smut + Humor

Ed and his crew have helped out a dwarven mine. They celebrate with dwarven mead, and maybe Edgin indulges a bit too much.

Did a headshot of my favorite chonky dragon ever in my style. I used to not care for D&D, only liking the dragons, but now Baldur's Gate 3 has changed that. This is just my opinion though, I know everyone has different opinons on D&D.

I went to the public swimming pool today, after realizing that one is actually fairly close to my university. I really want to swim more again. Barely have been swimming since moving here. (Which was 10 years ago.) But also super impressed. I managed to swim a good 550 meters. Sure, before I got COVID I would just do 2km in a sitting, but... I could barely walk a couple of months ago. So, I am counting this as a win.

To be fair, though, especially among radfems this is a long held believe. There is radfem theory from the 80s that basically goes: "Yeah, actually, SEX IS ALWAYS RAPE, or at least if it is penetrative, but everything else basically is not really sex either way." (not a direct quote, just the gist of it.)

Heck, like 7 years ago on twitter someone shamed me for writing lesbian porn involving strap-ons, because according to that person that made it "heterosexual".

Digimon Adventure: Divine Plan

While clicking through Wikimon I stumbled across this thing yesterday. I never even heard of this. Digimon Adventure: Divine Project, which is a Jubensha... Wikipedia tells me that that is something like a Social Deduction Tabletop Game (akin to Werewolf and such) and reading through the few Chinese Blog Articles that show up on Google (given that most of the chinese internet tends to not be on Google) it seems to be a Social Mystery Game for 8 players (four for the kids, four for the Digimon). Apparently the characters are accompanied by a some sort of Professor/Doctor, whose role is conveyed by the text coming with the game (Dr. Ayiao?). I do not know Mandarin.

From all I understand the players play to a sort of one shot roleplay campaign that involves some rolling - though given that the players seem to cooperate and all the sources I found still call it a mystery I wonder how replayable it is.

I really wish I could more about the story. :( All I know is that it takes place in 20xx in "South East City" (where I am not sure if it is just a random name or specifically a specific district of some city - again, my Mandarin sucks).

But as someone who loves TTRPGs I love the idea of this and I really would love to learn more.

The playable characters are:

Heitong & Tsunomon

Atuan & Tanemon

Huaxiao & Motimon

Pudding & Pyokomon (If you wonder why I call her Pudding: that is usually how I see that name transcribed with fiction characters)

Looking through Baidou I found some reviews saying that the replayability is not that good. But people who played it found it super nostalgic and it really calls back to some events from Adventure. It also gets compared to another game that seems to be quite populat among players alot. Some groups ran onto the problem of the mechanics for the Digimon players and the human players being a bit too disjointed.

It appears to me, too, that the better translation for the name would be "Sacred Plan" or "Divine Plan". Apparently the "Divine Plan" in question is the name that the Chinese Dub of Adventure gives to the plan of "getting some human kids to do the fighting". It is apparently the word used in episode 45 by the Homeostasis as it is speaking through Hikari.

The blurb coming with the game reads like this (according to DeepL):

In the year 20xx, in Southeast City. The gentle summer evening breeze rustled through the leaves as the lights of thousands of homes began to flicker on one by one. Inside a luxurious apartment, a little girl with a straight fringe tiptoed over to turn on the television. After a moment of static, the screen gave way to a surreal, fantastical world. The little girl’s eyes were immediately drawn to the screen, fixated on the figure of a white cat wearing gloves. There was something about it that felt strangely familiar. In the apartment, aside from the melody about love and courage playing from the TV, everything was quiet, as if the little girl were the only one living there.  Suddenly, the TV flickered with a blinding white light, and the little girl found herself holding a gray-blue device with only a few buttons and a small electronic screen.As the little girl looked down at the small device in her hands with confusion, the electronic screen emitted a pink glow. After a few flashes, the little girl and the device both vanished. At the same time, in three other apartments in Southeast City, different colored lights flashed simultaneously before fading away, leaving everything calm once more, as if nothing had ever happened. Only the familiar melody from the television continued to play.

It is interesting that the blurb specifically refers to Tailmon, which I do not see there.

Either way, I will once more say: Why do the chinese get all the good stuff recently? I am jealous. I wanna play this.

Digimon Frontier - Queer Headcanons

I will continue with some of these posts, because until the semester ends I will probably either way just post what I am feeling like posting. Again based on the conversation I had with @seventeenlovesthree.

(Posts for Adventure/02 and Tamers are already up.)

Kanbara Takuya - Pan

I noted before, I kinda read almost all the goggleheads in Digimon as some flavor of pan or bisexual. Though Takuya I see as someone who would need forever to figure it out. I always see him as having this on and off thing going with Izumi, but never actually getting it to work. Mainly because Izumi's family keeps moving and all. So at some point he does get over it and starts looking elsewhere.

Minamoto Koji - Bisexual

The one thing about Koji is, that I actually consider him to be the one Lone Wolf character with an ounce of self-awareness, aka: He is the one who actually does realize that he is queer on his own and without prompting and also does not go into denial about it. Though given I have not written a whole lot about him, I never explored how he might be dating later on.

Orimoto Izumi - Bisexual

As noted above: I have written Izumi often to be on and off with Takuya from their teenage days on, but it does not really work out. Somehow I can actually see her ending up in a nice relationship with another girl.

HImi Tomoki - Demi-Gay

I hear you: "Why would Tomoki be gay?" Well, why wouldn't he? In the show he is in an age where he does not show much of any interest in romance or anything like that yet, but eventually he might as well be gay. I do not even know why my brain decided on this. It might just be that the gay pride flag is very color coded to fit with his color scheme. But yeah.

Shibayama Junpei - Bicurious In Denial about anything

Junpei I see as a characters who... Well... He does already have internalized a whole bit of toxic masculinity. Which I personally would attribute to him being fat, being bullied for it and then trying to compensate by performing masculinity "better" than anyone else. Which obviously is going to make it hard whenever he really gets into puberty and having to deal with all that. (I do not say it enough, though: All the Digimon kids need therapy.)

Kimura Koichi - Graysexual

Koichi I see as someone who is not overtly sexually attracted to most people, though with some few exceptions few and far between. He probably will never really self-identify with this specific label, because he just does not care. But it is what I would use to name the thing I could see with him. Yeah...

[alpaca-clouds]

I have an OC like this. He kinda thinks of himself as that, too. Everyone arounds him meanwhile long has realized that he is probably the morally most sound member of the team. He just is not quite... like that.

However, he has sometimes bad judgement. He will absolutely swear on his life that his bestie - the Russian mob boss - is actually a "good guy". Then again, he will also swear that his later romantic partner, who worked as a professional assassin for 7 years, is actually a sweetie pie......... Eventually everyone decides to leave him to the delusions. "Sure, Doc, I just... put them to sleep."

one of my favourite genres of character is , specifically a doctor or scientist who is So deeply evil coded but they're a member of the good guy team & actively helping. & theyre not even a reformed villain theyre just like that. going hehehehehee in their dark scary lab while developing an device that will actually help a lot of people

Intersex infographic, just to clear up some common misconceptions.

Only intersex people may add info in reblogs, perisex people learn to listen.

Edit since this has gotten traction : If this infographic has taught you something or you've found if useful, consider donating to a disabled intersex person so I can afford medication and food

The only reason why transphobes always ask “what is a woman” instead of “what is a man” is because we all know that a man is a featherless biped.
