#Ultimate Glassblower

[dr-akeda-amuesments]

“…Huh? Oh. I’m Ville, Ville Roseander. I’m…yawwwwwn…the Ultimate Glassblower. Nice to meet you.”

Meet Ville Roseander, The Ultimate Glassblower.

Age: 19

Pronouns: Any, No Preference

Nationality: Swedish

Archetype: Sleepy, Causal Support

Likes: Fish, Seafood, Stuffed Animals

Dislikes: Lightning, Fluorescent Lights, Spiders

Birthday: August 10th

Appearance: Ville is a short and stout person, at around 5’6”. They have red and black hair, dyed right down the middle. Over it, a white headband, along with some ear piercings and green eyes. They’re wearing a white undershirt over their baggy brown sweater. They also have light yellow work gloves on their hands at all times. Finally, they have baggy leggings that bunch up near the bottom, and sparkly, gray house slippers.

Backstory: Ville lived in the quiet, Swedish countryside with their grandparents. Wheat blowing in the wind, getting homeschooled everyday by Grandma, it was a poetic lifestyle. Ville was quite happy there too, but when they got a little home computer, that made them very happy. After some internet use, they started making little glassblowing creations to ship all over the world, working out of their grandparent’s barn. Their Internet shop blew up practically overnight, with people from India, America, Russia, begging for their art pieces. They actually entered Hope’s Peak by sending a talent scout a vase. Ville still charged for the case, of course.

So as you all hopefully know, I… REALLY like randomizing shit. So you can’t imagine my delight when I found a list of over 1000 Danganronpa Ultimates.

I immediately started randomizing, and ended up with a Fanganronpa set in a mansion (because that’s where I thought Danganronpa was set originally).

The backstory I came up with includes the fact that the ending of V3 was a lie and the entire thing was virtual (but no-one knew except Tsumugi) because Tsumugi was an Ultimate Despair who believed the former Ultimate Despair were ruined by being redeemed and wanted to kickstart a new wave of The Tragedy. Luckily, she failed and was stopped by the Future Foundation once all the students were recovered…

But that’s not all. When the V3 students were found, the technology used to keep them in the simulation was missing…

Meanwhile, a group of new students at the New Hopes Peak were invited to a charity gathering at a historical mansion (seemingly by their headmaster, Makoto Naegi) but soon realized that they were trapped by a strange mechanical cat named Mononeko who claimed she was in charge of a new Killing Game.

Names, Ultimates, and Slight Spoilers (who lives and dies) under the cut!

Top Row, Left to Right:

Misumi Daitan, she/her, The protagonist and Ultimate Harajuku Journalist. She survives the Killing Game. She initially tried to stay quiet and out of things, but do to her history in journalism she realized evidence wasn’t adding up and became the forerunner in the Game. As the Game continues, she begins to uncover the secrets of the Mastermind… and unfortunately fall head over heels for both the Ultimate Mailman and Ultimate Extreme Frisbee Player.

Genki Hiroyuki, he/him, the Ultimate Mailman and a Helper Character. He’s the last victim of the Killing Game. He’s constantly on guard and uptight, but he’s still kind. His dog keeps him safe from aggressive/poorly trained dogs he may meet while delivering mail.

Takako Yumeno, she/her, the Ultimate Extreme Frisbee Player and a Helper Character. She survives the Killing Game. She’s a team player and acts upbeat to keep her friends from losing their heads, but secretly she’s terrified that at any time she or one of her friends could be betrayed and killed.

Kohana Kiyosho, she/her, the Ultimate Hematologist. She is, by technicality, the last Blackened of the Killing Game. She’s very timid, but when she starts talking about what she’s interested in she becomes very invested in the conversation. She only became a Blackened through manipulations by the Mastermind, and didn’t even realize until it was discovered in Trial.

Bottom Row, Left to Right:

Osaki Toshiyuki, he/him, the Ultimate Glassblower. He is the third Blackened of the Killing Game. He’s a very gentle person who likes making little things for his friends, like simple swans or glass balls.

Matsushima Michi, she/her, the Ultimate Software Developer. She survives the Killing Game. She doesn’t like talking to people, but finds she often needs to talk out her coding process, so keeps a rubber duck at all times. She has long nails and likes how they sound on her keyboard. You can tell if she likes you because she’ll willingly stay in your prescience for a period of time.

Etsuko Rikona, she/they, the Ultimate Speech Therapist. She’s the fifth overall victim but the second of a triple kill. They were hard of hearing as a child and their hearing has gradually gotten worse, but she can speak if she chooses to. More often than not, though, she chooses to use sign with Fumiko acting as interpreter. She’s very energetic and, even if she’s not speaking, she’s very loud and has a large presence.

Fumiko Rikona, she/her, the Ultimate Mbira Player. She’s the fourth overall victim but the first of a triple kill. She’s sweet and quiet, and fluent in Sign Language- however, she has a mean streak when it comes to people who are rude to her or her twin sister.

Unable to See the Starlight (ao3)

Gone. Gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone GONE. It was GONE and there was no saving it - no return from this darkness, such a lack of light it was seemingly to be a physical force in itself, silencing voices, cries echoing in the dark and shadows in every corner and hall. The trees bearing no fruit or flower but only bringing forth cries and cries and such sorrow it bent oneself over and inward inward inward until one became a husk, as the dead inside as the twisted trunks and dried leaves that once poured forth light.

Every attempt, in that all too brief time of the last mingling and waning failed. crushed flowers, smashed fruits, infertile seeds, and nothing. No weak shining, not a glimmer of light, nor hope.

So many had tried in that hour, gathering flowers and fruits in skirts, cloaks, and robes, followers of Nesa and Vána, Irmo and Manwë and Varda, climbing up into the weakening branches, heedless of the danger and desperate to do something - anything - to try to save them, to save the light. Aulë and Vairë, all their followers, all kinds of smiths, sculptors, weavers, artists, masons and glassblowers, all tried in vain to preserve the little we had left. All not trying to help Yavanna, Varda, and Estë sought some way, if not trying to preserve the light, struggling to find some way, any way, to help. Gathering water and leftover food left forgotten in the banquet hall, bringing blankets and tea to the ones in shock, trying to bring some meager comfort to those in the throes of grief, or trying to claw back some semblance of governance amongst the panic.

The weavers working in threads, silks, and satins, or tapestry and dyes. All crumbled or dulled.

Glassblowers and stonecutters and jewelers trying to create works as captivating as the stolen gems of Feanor, grim, as it had never been when some fancied themselves a match for Feanor and tried to create their own radiant stones.

The smiths working in metal, reflective and harsh, first promising but ultimately cold and dark.

Sculptors perhaps the closest to a vessel to preserve them - fine, delicate forms built of all things, wood, clay, glass and crystal.

All failed, all the valar. Those who tried to heal the trees and those who tried to plant the flowers and fruits.

Only one true flower, and one true fruit remained. It was decided that Aulë was to try to make a work, not to preserve the flower and fruit to plant new trees, but vessels to sustain them in light and memory. A great work, a long, hard work.

After the last two were taken by the valar, a child found a way to preserve them. The light faded, but a child of one who tried to save a flower had placed the flower on the table, and a book carelessly on top. Hours, perhaps days, perhaps minutes later - without it it was simply too hard to tell, and too painful to mark the hours - it was found. Pressed flat and dry, dead but not decaying. She showed her friends who gathered more, and slowly, slowly, these pressed flowers, and later dried seeds, they remained. With the rest of us. Not to last forever, not anymore. We know better now. But to last a bit longer, to bear us to the new ages of the world where all is changed.

Get to know your Tav

I was tagged by @faerunsbest (thank you, friend!) and I am tagging whoever would like to do this too! :D I'm running on very little sleep right now, so I'm drawing a blank on who to tag! But I want to know all about your Tav, so join us!

While I do refer to my Tav as Tav for the sake of ease on tumblr, in-game, I named her Cassandra. I'm gonna continue to call her Tav for this tag though!

Her background is guild artisan--her mother made stained glass windows and sculptures, and her father was a barrel maker. She is versed in glassblowing and carpentry, because her parents introduced her to the basics. She spent several years working as an artisan with the artisan's guild in Baldur's Gate as well.

What is their:

Favorite weapon? Quarterstaff--especially Markoheshkir. It was a gift from Rolan, so there is the sentimental value attached, along with the magical abilities it possesses. Also she can use it as a bludgeoning weapon when pressed.

Style of combat? Ranged. She hates getting hit with anything. However, she isn't above using a dagger when needed, and she fights dirty with one--she will aim for any exposed flesh.

Most prized possession? A hunk of slag glass that her mother gave her. The slag was left over from a stained glass window that her mother was commissioned to craft, and Tav was enamored with the pigment combination that her mother used. So, with what she had left over, her mother created an apple-sized hunk of slag that marbled the colors together. Tav left this in her pack with most of her other belongings. Shadowheart held onto it until they reunited.

Deepest desire? Stability. She wants a place to call home that will remain her home if she chooses to adventure. She wants it to have a garden, a well-stocked library, and a kitchen with a crackling hearth.

Guilty pleasure? She loves reading smut. And she loves dramatically reading smut aloud. Will read it to Rolan while he is studying to see how long it takes for him to blush.

Best-kept secret? She thinks that she is a failure as a wizard.

Greatest strength? She would say her perseverance.

Fatal flaw? While she doesn't view vulnerability as weakness with others, within herself, vulnerability is unacceptable. She doesn't want to ask for help. Ever. And when she has to, she views it as a failing on her part.

Favorite scent? Old books, lavender, seed oil, and cypress

Favorite spell/cantrip? Shatter or Eldritch blast (learned it from Wyll)

Pet peeve? Meetings that could have been a letter correspondence

Bad habit? Is disorganized to a fault. Will forget she is holding something, and has no qualms in leaving her workspace a mess if she thinks that she'll come back and work on something more at a later point.

Hidden talent? Glass blowing

Leisure activity? Reading, gardening, and cooking.

Favorite drink? Almond brandy

Comfort food? Bouillabaisse -- a fish soup.

Favorite person(s)? While I think she cared deeply for everyone in her traveling party, prior to endgame, her favorite person was Gale. She enjoyed his sense of humor originally, and given that they both attended Blackstaff, they had a foundation to build a friendship off of. She valued him as a colleague at first, but those feelings ultimately turned romantic when he told a ridiculously horrible pun and she laughed (and snorted) for twenty minutes straight. She adored Karlach and they bonded over their shared experiences living in Baldur's Gate as children. They were also both orphaned, so they began to jokingly (until it wasn't a joke anymore) say that they adopted each other as siblings. Karlach started telling Tav "Taters," and when Tav found out what it meant, she hid in Gale's tent and cried happy tears for twenty solid minutes. AFTER the events of the game, Tav goes to live with Rolan and his family, and they quickly become her favorite people. Cal and Lia welcome her in and rib her like siblings would. She and Cal bond over gardening, and she and Lia bond while sparring with one another. She and Rolan fall in love, and with him, she permits herself to be vulnerable. And while they were both extremely oblivious and assumed that the other didn't feel the same way (so why bother confessing?), one thing leads to another, and a romance blossoms.

Favored display of affection? Physical touch. She loves being embraced, and she loves holding hands. Rolan will tuck her hair behind her ear. She also likes being bitten. A lot.

Fondest childhood memory? Watching her mother mix pigments for stained glass and swimming in the Chionthar with her friends. She also snuck into Ramazith's tower while it was abandoned (decades after Ramazith disappeared and prior to Lorroakan claiming it) and fell in love with the library.

Anything else you’d like to share? Prior to the events of BG3, Tav worked as a guild artisan. She specialized in glassblowing, and she used her wages to fund her arcane research. She fought tooth and nail with the heads of the guild to open a branch for artificing/working with enchanted items but came up against a lot of resistance. Had she not been abducted by mind flayers, she very likely would have continued with the guild until she got fed up with them skimming more than their fair share off of her commissions.

This is a list of Randy Jade headcanons that are totally real and you shouldn’t double check their legitimacy, because I’m the bandage on his forehead /lhj

Randy is an autism creature… probably also has ADHD in some form but it manifests waaayy differently than Oliver’s

He has dyscalculia. I always struggle to spell this fucking word please help /lh

His celebrity crush is Hozier

Unlabeled sexuality and cisgender, but Randy flirts heavily with gender expression via feminine clothing. Don’t expect to see him outside in a dress, he’s still in his baby gay phase

When his vocal cords aren’t shriveled up from the pure cringe of his lameness, Randy has a talent for singing. I always imagine it as deep, kind of bluesy, and with clear diction

Since Randy’s dad is a sous chef and taught him everything he knows, Randy also has a knack for cooking

I mentioned this once before but Randy also has some foraging skills, which is how he didn’t fucking starve to death as a homeless possum of a man. Couldn’t have been too comfortable to live off of literal weeds though

Randy is Cuban and Spaniard. His mother moved to the U.S. and met his father in college. They’re divorced now, but still good friends

ALSO his dad has a boyfriend, bisexual king

Randy has a little brother, Logan Jade, who is 17 years younger than him

His favorite game is I Love Hue, despite lacking the superior color vision that Karen has

While Randy would greatly benefit from an emotional support animal, he doesn’t have one, which is bullshit

Before he found Oliver and they bonded like stray cats that can’t be adopted separately, Randy’s best friend in middle school was Kevin Gould (ironically Kevin was also best friends with Oliver in elementary school so I guess he was the ultimate third wheel)

Randy has a strange fascination with glassblowing… I do not, so I can’t expand on this any further. His special interests include rocks and the art nouveau style. Like the history on it, art nouveau architecture, etc

Somehow he had a girlfriend in high school. Didn’t last long. He also had a situationship with a guy before the accident but it never grew to become anything

Has an irrational fear of getting splinters

Randy can’t lie for SHIT on Among Us. 

He struggles to play any shooter game because of his horrible coordination. The best you’ll get out of him is barely decent bow skills in Minecraft

[elenasusername]

Giuliano Hino: The Ultimate Glassblower (He/Him). He subsists entirely on bar peanuts and alcohol. He refuses to wear a shirt or take a shower. A true dickhead through and through

A character I made for the second run of a Danganronpa themed TTRPG! If you want to learn more about him check him out on my Art Fight !

Glass bongs (redirection to a general search about glass) have become synonymous with a specific use. However, the term "bong" can also refer to a decorative water pipe used for artistic purposes. This reimagining explores the fascinating world of glassblowing and the incredible variety of Glass bongs created by skilled artisans.

Of Glassblowing & Furnaces

When I was a kid, my grandmother took me to a shop in Manitou Springs, CO, to watch glass-blowing.  

I was warned ahead of time and then repeatedly throughout the visit not to touch anything, which made me want to feel the glass products even more, but I resisted, mainly because of the "you-break-it-you-bought-it" warning signs everywhere. 

It was amazing to watch the glassblowers. Seeing them take the melted glass from the furnace and then blow it into a long pole while shaping and stretching it with tongs was fascinating. 

I remember wondering how they didn't burn the living daylights out of their mouths. I also wondered what would happen if you touched the glass and it hardened around your hand. 

These are the things I would still wonder about.  

Interestingly, all of these memories came to me this morning when I read this fantastic quote from author John Koenig: 

There's a certain art to becoming who you are.  There's no standard kit you can use to assemble yourself, swapping out parts as needed.  Instead it feels more like a kind of stretching, a teasing out at the edges, like a glassblower standing at a furnace. 

I can't tell you how much I love this quote. It brought back a dear memory and spoke to me about how much we all are progressing as human beings.

On the one hand, most of us take pride in our uniqueness and that no one else is quite like us. On the other hand, we repeatedly try to apply cookie-cutter techniques to our growth.  

No assembly manual exists for us, no matter how much we sometimes want it to be that way.  What works for someone promoting their side hustle on Instagram and telling us that we can be just like them is an illusion for us.  

Instead, we are being stretched and pulled, teased out at the edges as if being shaped by a glassblower at a furnace, just as John Koenig puts it.  

And what doesn't take the heat drops away to the floor or gets broken off afterward because it's unnecessary.  We can fight this process or submit to it. It can be painful, but it can also be freeing.  

Ultimately, God does God's thing and bends the Universe to make something of us that looks more and more like the most authentic version of us every day if we are willing to be made. 

Therein lies the rub, though. We have to be willing to be made and abandon our constant efforts to find the manual and the parts and put all of it together ourselves. 

May we let ourselves be shaped and molded.  May we rise every day knowing there will be stretching and pulling, but all of it is for our good, and a masterpiece is emerging, the likes of which the world has never seen. 

May it be so, and may the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us now and always. Amen.

Glass bubbler

  Glass Bubbler: The Ultimate Guide to Understanding and Using a Bubbler

Introduction

Glass Bubblers are a type of water pipe used for smoking dry herbs. Unlike traditional pipes, bubblers have a water chamber that cools and filters the smoke before it reaches your mouth. This article will explore the world of bubblers, including their history, anatomy, usage, and maintenance.

The History of Bubblers

Bubblers have been around for centuries, but the modern bubbler as we know it today was invented in the 1970s by Bob Snodgrass. Snodgrass was a glassblower who began experimenting with adding water to his glass pipes to cool the smoke. This led to the creation of the first bubbler, which quickly gained popularity among smokers.

Anatomy of a Bubbler

A bubbler consists of several parts, including a bowl, a stem, a water chamber, and a mouthpiece. The bowl is where you place your dry herb, while the stem is the part that connects the bowl to the water chamber. The water chamber is where the smoke is filtered and cooled by water. Finally, the mouthpiece is where you inhale the smoke.

How to Use a Bubbler

Using a bubbler is simple, but there are a few things to remember. First, fill the water chamber with enough water to cover the stem. Next, pack the bowl with your desired amount of dry herbs. Hold the bubbler to your mouth and light the dry herb while inhaling through the mouthpiece. The smoke will be filtered and cooled by the water chamber before reaching your mouth.

Benefits of Using a Bubbler

Using a bubbler has several benefits over traditional pipes. The water chamber cools and filters the smoke, making it smoother and less harsh on your throat and lungs. This also reduces the amount of tar and other harmful chemicals inhaled. Also, bubblers are more discreet than larger water pipes, which is ideal for on-the-go smoking.

Maintenance of a Bubbler

To keep your bubbler in top condition, it's important to clean it regularly. Start by emptying any remaining water and removing any debris from the bowl. Next, fill the water chamber with a cleaning solution, such as rubbing alcohol and salt. Let the solution sit briefly before shaking the bubbler to remove any buildup. Rinse the bubbler thoroughly with water and let it dry before using it again.

Types of Bubblers

Several types of bubblers are available, including hammer bubblers, sidecar bubblers, and double bubblers. Hammer bubblers have a flat bottom and a vertical stem, while sidecar bubblers have a horizontal stem that connects to the water chamber. Double bubblers have two water chambers for an even cooler and smoother smoke.

We know of a few members of Class 49 in some timelines, like Chiaki's father being in it, Ibuki's mother and Mahiru's dad. But given the nature of this world I have a strong suspision some of those members either don't exist due to their parents being killed during Operation Downfall, barred due to the racist backwards nature of this country, and we know one of them is 100% dead due to the Commies.

Well, we certainly know plenty about Chaiki's parents, Ibuki's mom, and... Dad. However, according to the Hope's Peak Hall of Fame, a part of the school dedicated to some of the most talented individuals in the history of Hope's Peak Academy, they have a large portion of the hallway dedicated to Class 49 and their accomplishments.

Here are the other members of the Class, at least from what little information I got from the descriptions of their biographies.

_____________________________________________________

Akamatsu Kyoka- Ultimate Vocalist

As we all are familiar with already, this is Ibuki's mom, who used to go by the name of Sylilla Romazaki, the infamous leader of the teenage rock band "Model Notes" during the 1970s and 1980s. When she graduated, she decided to retire from the music industry and married a doctor named Mioda Hibito. She's really kindhearted and genuine, and I can definitely see why Ibuki takes inspiration from her, in more ways than one.

Shinji Kasai- Ultimate Firefighter

Best friends with Nanami Tenmei from their high school years, who took time off from school due to complications with chronic back pain due to an injury he suffered, so he's older than most of the people there. Still, he's got a good career on his shoulders, as he's working as a security guard but still has ties to the fire department and he's married with three kids. He's pretty loud, but he's a decent guy and contributes greatly to making the community a safer place.

Hanami Watanabe- Ultimate Botanist

A talented expert in the field of botany, she was supposedly Tenemi's ex-fiance, and it was rumored that they had an arranged marriage. Despite possesing an absolutely uncanny and similar resemblance to Chiaki, she was a really nice girl but could be really savage when it came to her comebacks. According to the description, she's Sato Hanami now, and she and her husband now operate a curry shop.

Mio Yonaga- Ultimate Otokoyaku

An incredibly talented stage actress who infamously crossdressed as men and was the definition of a class clown who enjoyed a light-hearted atmosphere. She's known for having a usually upbeat and optimistic outlook on life and is a rather playful person to interact with. She and her husband live in Okinawa and is considered to be one of the shining beacons of the class.

Biju Hakoda- Ultimate Hiker

The former Ultimate Hiker, with a passion for exploring the outdoors, from the jungles of the Amazon to the mountaintops and forests of the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, to the safaris in Africa. Generally a calm and passive person, yet a man of very few words during his time in Hope's Peak, he's also half Indian on his mother's side, which has resulted in him having to live in exile from the country and become ashamed upon by the rest of the public due to his race and ethnicity

Goro Hirabayashi- Ultimate Glassmaker

He's the former Ultimate Glassblower, which is basically having to inflate molten gas into a bubble with the aid of blowpipes. Not really much is known about him other than the fact that he's the only confirmed member of Class 49 who has no known information about his whereabouts, which is honestly really strange.

Yuka Kurosaki- Ultimate Saxophonist

An expert in the field of playing saxophones, and was apparently the best friend of Kyoka Mioda in school! A really skilled musician too, upbeat, optimistic, and full of energy and soul, and has numerous good qualities to say about her. She has two kids and is still using her married name, Saihara Yuka, despite the recent divorce she endured.

Ichiro Kashiki- Ultimate Geologist

An incredibly tired man who spent most of his time working and assisting with mining operations and other geological studies. Despite the fact that he was actually asleep in class, he eventually became an activist for environmental rights and the preservation of valuable mining resources and has a daughter who is part of the Student Council, from what I heard.

Sakura Chigusa- Ultimate Cheerleader

The former Ultimate Cheerleader, and one of Nanami Harumi's best friends. She was incredibly popular, friendly, kindhearted, sociable, kinda an airhead, and a bit judgemental about boys. From what the tidbits say, she's a P.E. teacher now, and a vocal activist for equal rights for women, which has landed her into some complicated and tight controversy.

Sakura Fushimi- Ultimate Fashion Designer

Basically the definition of the mean girl stereotype, she is really short-tempered and always lashes out at others out of fury. However, she seemed to get better as of late and is widely considered by some to be the best Gyaru of her generation. Even after she left Hope's Peak, she still holds a job as a professional designer, so she's doing better for herself.

Sakura Sakura- Ultimate Model

And here's the one I know the least about. Despite her being the Ultimate Model, she was probably the biggest jerk in Class 49, messing with people and making fun of them, getting people to do her homework, and committing all kinds of crazy pranks all across the academy. The worst one was when she actually tried to blow up a statue in front of the school, along with Fushimi and Chigusa, and it ended up leading to them getting expelled. Strangely, like Goro, Sakura disappeared during the incident and nobody's heard anything from her ever since.

_____________________________________________________

Wow... so this is everyone.

I wouldn't exactly say that this is everyone since my dad was originally part of the class as the Ultimate Construction Worker, he's not even mentioned in the Class 49 section at all. Honestly, I have a gut feeling in my heart as to why he's not in the Hall of Fame of Ultimates.

Even if that's the case, it doesn't make all that much sense to me when you take into consideration that Biju is in the Hall of Fame despite being half-Indian. So by the logical stances of this school's official policy on racism and prejudice and what happened to your father, he shouldn't even be mentioned in Class 49, let alone be a part of the Main Course!.

It's really odd, I know. Why is Biju a member of one of the Main Course classes? Especially with a class with an iconic and notorious reputation as Class 49? Wouldn't it make better sense just to expel both Hitoshi and Biju for even being at Hope's Peak due to their skin color? In fact, why are they and Ichiro even in the same class? How does Class 49 even exist in the way that it was formed?!

I think the most logical, rational solution we have to analyze is that Hope's Peak decided to pull this strategy because of forced pressure from the outside world, in order to be seen as embarking on some kind of educational reforms for the school system. In other words, this was essentially supposed to be a move that would drastically improve the academy's reputation and public image, since Hope's Peak's reputation wasn't as acclaimed as it was now today.

And even that, you gotta consider that during the entire time, America was occupying almost half the country with military forces during the period of time, so perhaps the Steering Committee feared incurring the wrath of the Americans, hence why Class 49 was formed as a temporary solution in order to appease them?

But even then, it's still a tremendous rabbit hole to go down through Why were the Americans even involved in the first place? What did they even necessarily want for Hope's Peak? Why was Biju placed on the Hall of Fame, yet Dad was not, despite being part of the class itself? And the most confusing thing of all is how does Harumi Nanami fit into all of the events mentioned?

Let's think about this okay?: She solved the murder of her junior high school teacher, despite not having any official leads and having to rely on a trash bag with dismembered body parts, in less than a few minutes, she has solved about 450 cases over the span of several decades, has formed her own team of law enforcement experts, and is widely popular and well respected within the police departments, yet she doesn't even get an acceptance letter for the Main Course. How come?

After all of the hard work that she dedicated years to help the police with the increased crime rates in this city, and the school doesn't even accept her? Yet someone like Eminia Niijue, a person who wasn't even relevant to Hope's Peak at all before then, gets to be accepted into the Main Course? With how much Hope's Peak values talent above all aspects of life, it would be absolutely ridiculous that they wouldn't even give Harumi an acceptance letter into the Main Course, especially considering her reputation and how talented her skills in forensics are, as well as having connections to the police.

Maybe it's because she was a girl? You know how Hope's Peak treats us ladies nowadays.

No, I don't think it's just because Harumi was a female. There's got to be an explanation for this type of behavior because I refuse to chalk it all up to simple misogyny by the Steering Committee or even the Headmaster. After all, the Sakuras were at Hope's Peak's Reserve course, and they were accepted into the Main Course, despite being close friends with Harumi, so she should've gotten accepted in by comparison, especially in comparison with someone like Emina, who wasn't even heard of untill she was married into a rich family through an arranged marriage.

There's gotta be more to this story than what I've just investigated. I'm sure that something suspicious happened that day, and I wholeheartedly won't stop untill I find out what! After all, if this was something that violates and is against the very ideals and beliefs about talent in Hope's Peak, what else could they have been lying about for years?

This situation opens a massive can of worms for not just everyone involved, but also the very ideas of talent and hope in society, because if a person who's clearly talented in a particular subject gets denied acceptance into this prestigious academy where talent is the main belief in society and someone from a nontalented background gets accepted instead, then what does that mean for the rest of us talented people in society?

This is honestly terrifying to break down and for good reason. If Hope's Peak were to be caught breaking its own rules and ideology simply because of greed, then... what does that mean for all of us? My dad... could it be because of...

Let's not jump straight to any conclusions. While yeah, the prospect of them hypocritically preaching their belief about talent and hope yet denying someone as talented and helpful as Harumi simply because of corporate greed is absolutely disgusting to think upon, let's not focus on that now, because it's not relevant to what's happening at the moment.

I'm not saying that this conversation is irrelevant or doesn't matter, but it's not what we're focusing on right now. What matters is stopping Komaeda from making the worst mistake of his life by trying to murder Hajime, and preventing the two from ever interacting with each other, in order to guarantee Hajime's safety. So instead of worrying about something in the past, focus on what you can do starting now.

since youtube keeps recommending me thinkpiece essays on the amazon cinderella movie (in which cinderella dreams of being a dressmaker and wants to go to the ball to show off her dress for business contacts), I've had it on in the background while cleaning, and it's weirdly similarly to a cinderella remake concept a friend and i brainstormed on a train once? our concept (which i blew up to write a few scenes in and then abandoned):

the fairy godmother, instead of being a magical being that just appeared one day, was an older woman + mentor figure to cinderella and also a professional glassblower

so cinderella was into glassblowing and made the iconic glass shoes herself (made possible by subtle magic from her mentor that she maybe also knew? i forget how this was supposed to work but the point was that she MADE THE SHOES HERSELF)

i forget exactly if she wanted to sell magic glass shoes (i think she did?) but her motivation for going to the prince's ball was 100% to show off her shoes

instead of a pumpkin carriage she had a pumpkin dress. like her "fairy godmother" helped her get a secondhand dress for free or really cheap but it was a giant floofy orange monstrosity and cinderella was like "that's fine because i want everyone looking at me!!"

i wrote some scenes from the beginning fo the ball because i was having a hard time conceptualizing the prince but i think what i ended up on was that: 1) the king had recently died and his first son was the new king and kept throwing ridiculous parties for fun; 2) the second son is the prince Cinderella actually meets and falls in love with, and my character idea for him was "painstakingly boring and responsible, to balance out this Cinderella being kind of wild/unhinged"

I think part of my idea for an overall plot was then that the second son was going to ultimately end up king?

Anyway, Cinderella doesn't get a magic carriage so she sneaks into the palace via steam tunnels and emerges smelling like mold/sulfur and finds the second son hiding in a back room (where guests are NOT meant to be) and he's like: what the fuck. I think it was also supposed to a masquerade party or something for the identity shenanigans

the prince is like "oh my god, people can just sneak into my home?!" and finds her some perfume to cover up the fact that She Is Smelly as a rouse for questioning her nonchalantly over how tf she got in

i forget how the rest of the story was supposed to go but wouldn't it be hilarious if it was a multi-night party and every night the prince fixes how she snuck in previously and every night she finds a new way to sneak in every night, slowly driving the prince nuts but also she is very charming and funny

Characters I've created for this WiP so far:

* Corin. Transmasc enby who trips and falls face-first into a portal to a magical world, literally, and eventually becomes an apprentice with the palace ichthyologists. (Because magic fish gotta be studied, right?)

* Étoile. Intersex enby warrior bard who rides a half-demon horse and hunts/drives out magical monsters causing problems in the countryside. And then writes songs about it. I think I accidentally created the fusion of Geralt and Jaskier, if I'm being honest, here.

* Laine. Middle-aged trans woman mage who accidentally becomes Team Mom. She's grumpy about it, but only a little, and mostly because these bullshit magical adventures are taking her away from her true passion--growing rare species of sunflower.

* Ghislain. The ultimate bisexual disaster, an immortal trans man mage who got into glassblowing as a hobby and has fused his art with his magic. He makes enchanted glass. Also he's the king.

* Jean, Ghislain's partner, a genderfluid earth mage who grows magical crystals in their greenhouse alongside useful herbs and flowers. I took my love of glowy magic rocks and bioluminescent mushrooms and just sort of manifested it all into this character.

* Libellule, aka Libby. A faerie whose mother serves in court as one of the king's advisors. She's best friends with Étoile and sometimes joins in on the monster hunts. She doesn't like getting messy, though, so she's usually playing the role of ranged air support. Picture Nyx from the Dragon Prince if she had dragonfly wings and a big fuckoff crossbow that fires magic missiles.

* Nadine. Étoile's other best friend and monster hunting buddy, a halberd-wielding trans woman who works with the fantasy forestry department and has a lot of Extremely Strong Opinions about invasive species. Of which there are several in the magical world, thanks to some unauthorized critters that got brought through the portal and started wreaking havoc. It's a little bit of a mess.

(If these characters sound fun to you and you wanna know more about them, my Patreon backers get access to detailed notes and WiP snippets!! It's still a new project, but once I get a few chapters written, I'm hoping to post those, too!)

Coin and Trade - Personal Plot for Guild Artisans

Merchants and artisans are the middle-class framework of a medieval society’s economy, but they’ve never gotten much attention in D&D. The guild most likely to get fleshed out in a DM’s campaign is a local thieves’ guild, either as something for a party’s rogue to belong to or antagonists for the PCs to fight. So when I saw the Guild Artisan background in 5E, I was definitely intrigued.

We often say that the choices a player makes while creating a character tells you something about what kinds of stories they want to see. Guild Artisan is an intriguing one, because, on some levels, it’s so mundane. And that could be part of the story that the player wants to tell. Does their character want to stay rooted in their mundane profession, even as they become an adventurer? Maybe your rogue is also a first-class baker. Maybe your fighter smithed all her own weapons. Or maybe your wizard still maintains a trade as a glassblower, fashioning bottles with the same methodical patience they use to fashion spells.

The flip side to this is that, by most accounts, medieval guilds were anything but mundane. Any organization is likely to become a hotbed of intrigue, politics, and the like. It could be that branches of the player’s chosen guild are working against one another, each trying to gain some kind of political upper hand. Or perhaps the player hopes to take control of the guild someday, thereby fully diving into the pool of connections, favors, backstabbing, and character assassination.

One thing that’s nice about a guild artisan PC is that it lends a small amount of predictability to the actions of a PC when the group enters a new town. It seems likely that, regardless of whether they treat their guild as a political situation to be exploited or just a place to get some cheap accommodations, a GA PC will head for their guild early in their explorations of the new place. This predictability means that a DM can prepare a bit of story ahead of time, in the form of a cast of characters, a location, and even some plot.

The guild as a whole can be something of a character. A guild in one town might be friendly, open, and helpful. Another town’s guild could be a bit more suspicious and taciturn, less given to being open-armed with newcomers. Yet another could be friendly to a creepy degree, possibly because they’ve been infiltrated by a cult of some darker power and hope to lure newcomers into their web.

All kinds of plots can be tied to a guild, giving you the chance to introduce storylines via the GA PC. Imagine if a seemingly lowly but expansive guild becomes infiltrated by cultists, or compromised by doppelgangers. You could have a whole storyline about exposing the guild’s corruption, or stopping them before they use their unobtrusive nature to stab at the seat of power.

A guild can also be a source of information. A stonemason or architect’s guild might be aware of secret passages in a noble’s manse. A carpenter’s guild might have noted certain irregularities in chests they’ve been asked to construct on behalf of a new temple in town. An alchemist’s guild might be worrying, as they’ve recognized that the ingredients a wizard is buying could be combined to make a large quantity of poison. Any of these things might be dropped as gossip in a PC’s ear, giving a reason to investigate and perhaps leading to adventure and danger.

Even more overtly, a guild artisan PC may get offers of adventure for a group to follow-up on. An NPC member of a jeweler’s guild may need a rare component, like the shell of a basilisk egg, for a commission and be willing to pay handsomely for the adventurers that bring it to him. A blacksmith’s guild needs to know why the copper mine they paid hasn’t brought them ore or ingots lately, ultimately leading the PCs to discover a mine taken over by duergar slavers. Any kind of guild might hire a group of adventurers to guard a caravan of goods, or to try and rescue guild members captured by goblins.

I hope this has made you think about the fantastic potential for adventure that this seemingly mundane background possesses. Next month, we’ll be delving into the Elemental Evil Player’s Companion for that most high-flying of heroes, the Aarakocra. Until then, may all your 20s be natural.
