#aguefort adventuring academy

[deconstructthesoup]

My personal Aguefort headcanon is that the cheerleaders are just this insane elite squadron of monks, rogues, bards, and sorcerers who do pep rallies that involve sabotaging rival teams and doing a public battle against the rival team's mascot. Cheerleader training is an actual boot camp where they all learn the best way to kill someone in one hit, whether with crazy dex-based fighting or full charismatic spellcasting. Having a cheerleader in your adventuring party is a bonus, not because of popularity points, but because she is almost universally guaranteed to be a complete beast in combat. The vast majority of Society of Shadows members from Aguefort were once cheerleaders.

HOOT GROWL, BABY!!!

It's The Bad Kids from Dropout TV's Dimension 20: Fantasy High!! We love this group of chaos goobers, and so here's a bit of fan art for y'all It was a blast designing all 6 of these great characters, and I rather like how they all turned out :D Hope you all like these low-quality-children

[dudeyjench]

“My… wonderful. absolutely reckless. unhinged. violent. wild. untameable. Bad. Kids” — the collective and simultaneous sob of hundreds of thousands of dropout subscribers quakes the earth — “Did we get that one? Great.”

“average elmville high school has 3 faculty members die a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average elmville high school has 0 faculty members die per year. Aguefort Adventuring Academy, who killed 8 faculty members in three years, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

“The goddess of conviction and the goddess of doubt are more than friends. They need each other. The one without the other would be incomplete. And also, they love each other, they care for each other, they choose each other. They are both aware of how much better things are when they work together. Doubt with no hint of conviction is terror, conviction with no hint of doubt is tyranny. When we let our Doubt and Conviction choose to walk hand in hand, we see the world as it is.”

my favorite moments from episode 10 of fantasy high junior year!!:

adaine and aelwyn bonding over aelwyn working for the bad guy again (at least when you were being evil you were doing things that were interesting and cool)

adaine’s pure hatred of cornlilac cottoncunt (“and she’s stupid as well!! this is great!! she doesn’t know how to use google!”)

“you keep my name out of your mouth”

“but november (if that’s what month it is) is our month!”

jace’s truly INSANE announcement that began with “we’re having a rough one!” and just continued on down that path the whole time

“who’s asking” “your mom”

gorgug NEEDS business class (or more)

“do you have to go so soon??”

naked (with sports bra) is so lesbian, i love

“i just feel like we should all be a little bit closer” says the girl who kissed everyone she’s talking to like 3 weeks into knowing them and is currently standing in front of her adventuring party in a sports bra and g-string

aguefort’s email bit might actually turn the school into a democracy

just the parallels between in season one, gorgug and zelda and in this most recent episode mazey and fabian make me wanna rip my hair out

"they famously hate you guys" "how can they famously do anything if they re not famous" "jealousy surrounds me"

“you could be on the complicated women podcast” said after doing a full investigation to find out that there are like seven fiendish things going on with fig right now

if you met that man, you would know it’s comedy of errors how he became a god”

wanda childa.

not anything that fabian had going on this episode. i don’t even really want to talk about it you’re telling me he got a massive neck tattoo and no one even went to the appointment with him?!?!?!?!?

[embraceweird]

I love that all the teachers at Aguefort have names that sound like they came directly from a random D&D name generator

[smolandweirdwriter]

why is he kissing himself

[dizzybevvie]

rewatching fhsy and sadly running my finger over a framed photograph of Ragh and Fabian

The Aguefort Adventuring Academy School Schedule

If you saw this post, I decided to actually figure it out, so here it is!

DISCLAIMER:  This is just for fun, I just wanted to see if I could make some sense of this Dungeons and Dragons high school, and I figured it would be helpful to share if you were also curious, or want to write a fanfiction, or want to run a game like Fantasy High, or whatever. Any part of this can be changed to fit your needs. Okay thanks disclaimer over byeeeee <3

If you want to see explantions for anything go ahead and go to this google doc!

The Bad Kids' Class Schedules under the cut!

Any other questions, feel free to ask!

[possforeffect]

So I don't normally get into fanfic, but has anyone done anything with the concept of students at Mumple from Fantasy High getting up to shenanigans while the Bad Kids are doing their own thing? Like I realize Mumple is a trade school but... it's a trade school. Don't tell me they aren't doing something neat there.

Like, it explicitly trains so-called NPC professions. That's rife for story possibilities, like:

Blacksmithing student who doesn't have the gift for artificing uncovers a conspiracy to adulterate metal in Solace.

Someone on a track to be a shopkeeper realizes that there's been a string of robberies of local businesses, but bigger chain stores seem to be untouched, and wonders why.

An innkeeper student tries to renovate a local hotel for their senior thesis, only to find it massively cursed.

Someone who's on just a generic guard track becomes disillusioned with the way the police force in Elmville operates and tries to get into Aguefort instead.

A healer has to make do without clerical magic when a major car crash happens in town and they're doing a residency at St. Owen's.

Apparently all of the Cubby kids go there. Are they trying to upend the system from within?

I don't know, it just sounds fun.

Some various and sundry Aguefort headcanons:

-After Jace gets fired (read: bodied and arrested), everyone kind of has the realization that, oh, hey, not teaching your sorcery students how to use their powers because "sorcery's innate so there's nothing I can teach" is actually hella dangerous and produces sorcerers who can easily lose control over their incredibly volatile powers (there's a reason that there has not been a single Wild Magic sorcerer who's made it to graduation since Jace became the sorcery teacher), and they end up hiring a teacher whose ethos is "you must learn to make yourself the master of your magic, or it will become the master of you." Xir name is Mothwood Khalazza, xe's a drow Aberrant Mind sorcerer, and xe quickly gains a reputation as the most interesting teacher at Aguefort. Mothwood smokes with Eugenia on weekends.

-Since warlocks, sorcerers, and clerics know what their subclass is right from level 1, they are allowed to apply for an MCAT right from the get-go---like, you could enter Aguefort as a level 1 cleric and immediately sign up for fighter classes, that sort of thing. With every other class, you can only apply for an MCAT once you've got your subclass under your belt.

-The debate team is a collection of Eloquence bards, Mastermind rogues, Enchantment wizards, and Knowledge clerics who are encouraged to use their arguments as verbal components of spells, resulting in a debate that is filled with elegantly-delivered spellcraft. Whichever team manages to drop the other team to 0 HP wins the debate.

-Jumping up on that---and inspired by some worldbuilding in my home game, suggested by one of my players---for senior year both at Aguefort and at the several adventuring colleges out there, you have to write a thesis and defend it to your teachers, while you are also engaged in combat with them. The fight ends when one of you is dropped, or when an argument or rebuttal is delivered (followed by a spell or a strike, of course) that the other person can't come up with a response to.

-Druid students and ranger students aren't taught in a classroom, but are instead given lessons entirely in the Far Haven Woods. While druid lessons are way more focused on becoming one with nature, learning how to respect it, and essentially befriending nature in order to work with it, ranger lessons are about surviving in spite of nature, about roughing it in the most dangerous parts of the untouched world, about harnessing beasts to your will. (This is mostly based on my interpretation of the difference between druids and rangers, since it's... very tricky to actually put into words. A new edition's out and rangers still need a serious class update, swear to god.)

-There are actually four bard teachers at Aguefort---Lucilla obviously teaches songwriting and music composition and Terpsichore teaches dance, but there's also a bard teacher who specializes in speech and debate (who heads up the debate team and mock trial, of course), and a bard teacher who specializes in storytelling and gathering knowledge. The speech and debate teacher is, in fact, an actual archfey who used to oversee contracts made between mortals and his kind, met Principal Aguefort, hit it off with him, and decided that teaching sounded way more exciting than endless Feywild bureaucracy. (The storytelling teacher's a human, and they've got a whole goth-academic thing going on.)

-While the theater kids are all very much respected and treasured, it is an unspoken secret that the techies have their own secret society, and every night the actors are performing, the techies not only have to keep the show running, but they have to defeat monsters that are trapped in the auditorium and seek to destroy the beautiful energy that is brought to life during live stage performances. It's universally agreed that being a techie is twice as hard as being an actor, and you have to jump through a lot of hoops before you can become accepted as one of them. (Yes, I did read the Backstagers comics in middle school, what of it?)

I tried writing the 300 word essay in 5 mins. Brennan truly I think this was impossible, my hand was cramping SO bad please excuse my handwriting

Also you can see my mind and hand slipping away from my control as I tried desperately to come up with words. Honestly impressed how put together Lou’s essay was thematically
