#and it starts getting messy

[pyrosomatic-metamorphosis]

tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.

but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.

QUICK NO ONE'S LOOKING

(See readmore for thoughts, cope, bonus, etc.)

Anyone else up thinking about Ratio's big, strong, secure arms and how warm and all-consuming they could be in a hug or embrace. :/ Anyway

I just wanted to draw them being cute and seizing a sliver of a moment where they could have some PDA silly time without actually having any eyes on them. They're public figures and working adults with very clear boundaries between public persona and private life (to varying degrees of "in a sad way"), so while it may be in Aventurine's nature to constantly blur lines for various agendas and self-preservation (read: play "the flirt" without an aligned goal), I believe that in an actual relationship they'd be fairly private.

It's kind of fun to break your own rules, though! Ratio would be more upset about the consequences, though. He's a little bit of a hypocrite, which is devastating for someone of such discipline, but nobody's perfect.

I'm of the mentality of, "If you're tired of working on it, then just post it!", so here are some fun peripherals that I didn't feel like adding:

Some staff in the background sweeping up to evoke a blended sense of fragile privacy and liminal time.

A laptop on the aquarium/bar/counter because there's something fascinating about seeing people on their work laptops in public.

The rest of their clothes (casual friday)

The kitakami siblings! I love them, so epic they are! I wish carmine is able to tease her brother without half of the fandom having meltdown about her “abusing” him lol

Really lazy idea I’ve been putting off for a while lol. This is base off that one audio that trending online a little while ago, if you know it then you get a gold star.

I love that is not even an exaggeration that they're sitting on each other's lap

i HAVE to be so 1000% right now i thought erik was sitting like This behind the table in the first panel and i couldnt register anything else

[carpp]

ok but what if:

after escaping on the way to prison soyona fakes her own death but still has to lay low and avoid the authorities for a while.

she cant stay in one place for too long so mostly travels with some money from a secret account she had (just in case)

sometimes she thinks she sees brooklynn, but its never her (she doesn't know if she wants it to be her)

More Trevor sketches 🦂

[bastardofharrenhal]

sorry theres something inherently tragic about the riverlands like. theyre the central kingdom, theyve three major rivers which bring the people food and feeds their crops and helps their trade, they've got the Isle of Faces and Ravenhall and Riverrun and they connect all other kingsdoms, but no matter what decade u look at, theyre always ravaged. the ever going conflicts between the Blackwoods and the Brackens, Harrenhal being built on the bodies of thousands of peasants by one invader only to then be drowned in fire by another, then an uprising marched through them and only ended when two dragons fought high above them all, and just when peace was there, the dance happened and they burned again and again, and when Robert's Rebellion happened and their liege lord wed his daughters to the rebels and the last key battle happened at the Trident, they knew peace for a time, before it was promptly ripped away from them again by the Lannisters and then the War of Five Kings and the Northern rebellion and the raiding and the Red Wedding. even still with the war technically over, the Brotherhood Without Banners is fighting for them and their liege's daughter is now haunting their assailants and there are people who sought to protect them like Edmure Tully or help them like Septon Meribald and its all so

it’s always been you, wonderful you.

I know you're probably a grown ass person with adult responsibilities, but I'm BEGGING YOU please post more slasher Sun and Moon PLEASE PLEASE PLE-

pfft okee here’s a warm-up sketch of Sunny lightly vogueing that I had sitting around

i have full intentions of doing multiple pages playing dress up with him AND Moonie… god my pinterest is just littered with a mix of grungey metalhead-lookin dudes and plucky 70s/80s softboys…. and arcade carpet.

also another Sunny wip below in which i have no idea really what im doing but it is fun throwing colors and textures at it. Definitely eye strain-y tho

believe u me, this is the same guy as above… he’s just glitching a bit… can’t seem to locate his mask at the moment
