Inadvisable tabletop RPG premise #137: semi-competitive one on one Soulslike pastiche where one participant takes on the role of the semi-amnesiac undead knight and the other takes on the role of the incongruously barefoot FromSoft level-up maiden. Neither participant is exactly a player or exactly a GM, with each having narrative authority over different aspects of the world and being bound by different game-mechanical constraints. The semi-competitive aspect of the premise stems from the fact that each participant is aiming for a different, mutually incompatible "ending", probably randomly assigned from a pool of around twelve, and neither participant knows which ending the other is trying to achieve.

my ideas kinda go hard honestly. unfortunately i can't explain them to people because all i have for context is a 6000 word google doc which is itself just composed of copied ramblings in discord servers. its a mess. but yall would think it was cool if you UNDERSTOOD

do you ever have something happen to you and just know that it would've had an absolutely devastating impact on your capacity to endure if you'd been in an even 5% worse psychological state

i was gonna say which ISAT character i think has the most autistic swag but tbh i don't think i can choose

isabeau has the "i'm gonna study Being Social so i can get a good grade in masking" and "very fast at mental math" autism

mirabelle has the "please let me infodump about my fandom special interest" and "non-human characters are neat" autism

odile has the "sometimes i ignore social rules on purpose, other times i genuinely don't realize until i've already fucked up" and "deadpan everything" autism

siffrin has the "i hate when my routine is disrupted" and "carefully copying normal behaviors from the people around me" autism

bonnie is the only one without an obvious autistic reading to me, i think it's harder to get a read on them bc the quest is an even more unusual and stressful situation for them than it is for the adult members of the party... but I could see them having "people my age think i'm kinda weird so i end up making friends with adults instead" autism, lmao

also. it's soo real for autistic people to end up in a mostly-autistic friend group bc they struggle to communicate with non-autistic people. and then STILL struggle to communicate w each other.

Theres this fun tendency tme people have whenever they're asked to consider whether a character could possibly be transfem to bravely proclaim "But what if they're not?"

Initially, when told you view a character as transfem, they ask what the reasoning behind the reading is. (which, to be clear, is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask.) The problem arises when they are presented with that evidence. Because no amount of evidence will be enough. There's always another explanation. Always some reason to think the character isn't transfem.

"What if this character whose entire arc was about rejecting the masculine role forced upon them was transmasc? Men can struggle with masculinity too."

"What if this character who loves to dress up in feminine attire and pretend to be a girl in public is just a femboy? Men can be feminine too."

"What if this character who feels dissatisfied after fulfilling the role of man and staunchly refuses to look inwards for fear of what they might see is just cis? Men can hate being men too"

They need the evidence to be ironclad, for no other explanation to possibly be able to exist, to even consider that a character could be transfem. Every piece of evidence that will simply be dismissed as not being relevant. And it becomes pretty clear that in actuality they just don't want to imagine a character could be transfem.

This same thing happens with real people too. The whole "egg culture" discourse that happened here recently functioned very similarly. It was always "Men can be gnc, and by saying a man could be transfem, you're enforcing gender roles" and shit like that. The underlying logic is always "Let men be men"

The Memory - Reminiscence, Returning, Introspection, Repetition The Memory suggests a return. Of an old friend, old hobby, old things you thought you had lost. The way things were is starting to shift how things are, and it's best to think on the past and its consequences. However, the Memory can function as a trap - you must be careful to not get stuck in the past, and instead understand what the past means for your future.

Inadvisable art prompt #137: Hit up a random noun generator. Imagine the subtle and layered occult symbolism of the word or phrase it gives you if it were a major arcanum in a hypothetical cartomancy deck. Draw that card. Doesn't matter what noun you get – the Tuba, the Sock, the Ice Cube Tray – you have to run with it.
