this is a PSA that @aydasparamour (on here she's not super active, more so on instagram and tiktok under the same name) has literally some of the BEST d20 video edits i've ever seen in my life. truly can't recommend enough go check her out!!!

[aydasparamour]

Love your dimension20 edit of zac and aabria with lou, any context for those who havent watched?

OKAY context for karna/colin/deli’s dynamic in the ravening war !! (specifically for the edit i posted a while back)

(aabria plays karna, zac plays colin, lou plays deli)

THE RAVENING WAR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

.

.

- deli hires colin to protect him on his way to comida, colin immediately decides he’s willing to die for deli

- they’re both indoctrinated into a weird ass cult (but the leaders don’t ask them to do anything right away. just threaten to expose their secrets if they don’t join them)

- colin & deli meet karna, who is a child (~13) while deli is 19 (and colin’s age is unknown, but i headcanon him as ~22)

- 2 years pass. colin & deli stay together, deli appoints colin as his skáld (essentially an advisor)

- colin & deli become extremely close. zac & lou basically role play romantic moments but never actually make it explicit 😭

- over the past couple years, karna has developed a crush on deli, but deli does not reciprocate. deli seems more interested in hanging out with colin

- the cult asks all the pcs to kill someone, they agree & go on the mission

- deli viciously attacks the target + kills an innocent creature but doesn’t seem to show much remorse. colin kills an innocent bystander, but feels extremely guilty about it

- deli seems convinced that he and colin will go back to the meatlands together. colin follows his moral code instead and leaves deli (deli pretends this does not affect him, but he is lying.)

- 5 years go by. deli heads back to the meatlands while colin heads off with one of the other pcs (brennan’s pc raphaniel)

- during this time, deli invites karna to join him and appoints her as his new skáld (effectively replacing colin)

- when deli & colin meet up again, colin is jealous of karna & deli is jealous of raphaniel

- deli is mad at colin, but quickly forgives him and tries to gain his approval

.

.

essentially the idea of “do you get deja vu when she’s with you” and “don’t act like we didn’t do that shit too” is showing that (in my mind) deli was in love with colin. when colin left him (due to judging him for his actions), deli replaced him with karna, a person he knew supported him unconditionally (because she practically worshipped him). however, the second colin comes back, deli prioritizes him.

can you guys tell i think about colindeli a lot

[aydasparamour]

hello! weird question incoming. you made a remix for Deja vu for a ravening war edit, and I was wondering if you have the audio file for the full song with that edit in it? it itches something in my brain, i like it alot more than the orig. ty!

only recently discovered that inboxes exist (can you tell i never use tumblr?) but i actually didn’t make the remix! the remix was made by muxisium on soundcloud! just look up “deja vu muxisium” in the app and you’ll find it :)

[aydasparamour]

[aydasparamour]

Y’all moved on, im still not over 🧀 HIM🧀

[aydasparamour]

colin and deli and colin’s dad is just like. once there is an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house

[aydasparamour]

Just a quick ATSV meme for y'all

[aydasparamour]

"That's dumb," says Karna. "I think that's dumb. Why can the knight just jump over shit? What's so special about him, huh?"

"Just, uh. Just good at moving, I guess," says Colin, taking the black rook and placing it on his side of the table. It sits there, solid, beside the haphazard array of pawns and a single bishop.

Karna pouts a little. In front of her, on the table, there sit three white pawns, all stood perfectly in line. "'Good at moving.' Urgh. So am I. He's not special." She frowns, and moves a pawn two spaces forward. Colin winces involuntarily, and she glares at him. "What? What did I do?"

"So... I may have forgotten to mention this one. I, uh. I didn't really think it would come up for, uh. Longer than this. To be honest." He gives her a slightly wary look. "You... you ever heard of 'en passant'?"

"'In passing' in Fructeran," she says brusquely. "Now explain."

"Now- ok, I promise I'm not making this one up-" He moves a white pawn to just behind hers, which he smoothly plucks from the board and sets down amongst the cluster of other pieces in front of him.

There is a short silence.

"Are you kidding me," says Karna, voice flatter than the void of space, empty and silent and oh, so deep, and-

"To be fair, that- that's probably one of the stupidest rules I know. If that helps?" says Colin.

"Fine. Fine!" she says. "Sure."

"You know," says Colin delicately, "I could still-"

"No," snaps Karna. "You will not play without a queen." She glares at him with even more ferocity than usual, and lowers her voice to a dangerous drawl. "When I win. If I suspect even for a second that you went easy on me?" Her lip curls into a smirk. "Oh, that would be that last thing you ever did."

"Sure," says Colin. "I mean, sure. I just think it would make the game a bit more fun for you while you're learning. You know?"

Karna rolls her eye. "I want to lose."

"...What?" There is suddenly a deep, unsettling feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"I want to lose," she says. "Because it doesn't matter." She grasps his forearms and stares into his eyes, as though willing him to understand. "I want so badly to know what it feels like for losing not to matter. I want to know the loss that is an annoyance, not an ache, not a scar, not a slit throat or a knife in the gut and bleeding out on the pavement."

The hands holding him start to weaken. Rot starts to creep up her neck.

Her pupils are dark voids filled with spinning blades.

"It was too much," she says. "I was so tired. You saw." Her gaze is level, and he remembers running away, and running away, and running away, and looking back. "I was holding on to the edge for so long."

Colin wants to say something. He doesn't know what to say.

"But you can't hold on forever."

And she lets go.

---

He wakes up, and it is still dark, and he is alone.

He never knew her that well, but- she would have been good at chess, he thinks, if she had ever had a chance to learn. Not straight away, of course, but- in time.

No point in dwelling on it. He doesn't want to risk turning into Raphaniel, and- ok, that's another whole thing he's really not interested in delving into right now.

But- she held on for so long.

It seems like the least he can do, to make sure no one else ever has to stare into the void and cling to life so desperately that the muscle of their fingers rots down to bone.

[aydasparamour]

I can't draw, so I gotta communicate it this way but I'm just going to imagine this is how it was going to go

[aydasparamour]

‘I think I’m gonna just sit for a minute’

[aydasparamour]

look i know this was played for physical comedy but. but the k-drama-ness of it all

[aydasparamour]

somebody asked me to post this on tumblr and i promptly forgot to do so but here it is. currently thanking god that zac & aabria have similar face shapes.

[aydasparamour]

do you get deja vu? 

[aydasparamour]

timeskip colin and deli mostly because I was sad deli didn’t get any kind of outfit change

[aydasparamour]

Hey does anyone else remember Karna can take the faces of other people? Me neither

[aydasparamour]

Come on Provolone!

Page one: Quichéi peers into the mouth of a dark cave and says, "Wait a second," and sees a faint glowing light. He says to the Deli and Colin, "Who has the balls, huh?" and heads in. Deli says to Colin, "Colin. You said it before." Colin says, "I said we have balls, but is this balls?" Deli says, "Aren't you curious?" Colin replies, "I'm curious, but I'm not curious for what this group might do in there."

Page two: Deli looks to Colin and says, "What does that mean?" It cuts to a grayed out flashback, of Karna telling Deli, "Kill it." Deli stoically lifts his spear to stab the fungi creature as a disturbed Colon asks, "What are you doing?" In the present, Colin - spattered with the remains of Queen Pamelia - answers Deli, "I think you know what it means."
