I don’t think the Rat Grinders are irredeemable or whatever but I DO think a lot of people are putting the onus on Brennan specifically to redeem them or “write them a redemption arc”, like yes it is a show and there has to be character narratives especially for foils to your PCs, but ttrpgs are fundamentally a /collaborative/ storytelling medium, the thing about DnD is that the players have to invest in the NPCs, they have to give them the time and space to redeem themselves through interacting with them, the reason we see characters like Aelwyn and Ragh get a redemption arc & change and develop is because the Bad Kids went out of their way to talk to them (In Aelwyn’s case Adaine had to commit to redeeming her sister on multiple occaisions). Lets not forget there have been other teen villains, like Penelope, Dayne and Biz who the Bad Kids just straight up killed in combat, who didn’t get redeemed. Do I think it’s fully possible that the Rat Grinders can experience redemption/forgiveness and it would be narratively satisfying? Absolutely! But, imo, a lot of the narrative thrust behind wether a character gets redemption is in the hands of the players, and it would be a little bit unsatisfying if being freed from their rage crystals immediately gave them all full personality transplants (like removing all of Kipperlily’s anger and ambition for example)

just convinced my dad to get a covid booster and a flu shot even though he has reportedly “never had a flu shot in his life.” i pointed out that he’s going to florida where “almost no one” (exaggerated) will be vaccinated, meaning that he should protect himself, but his eyes lit up and he blew right past my argument into “oh! so i’ll be a contrarian!!” YES dad that’s exactly right. don’t be a square. fight the mainstream. make a bold counter-culture statement by not dying of the flu this winter.

You’re telling me Lisa was at Sneeky Dees instead of Stacey, and Ramona was staring her (Lisa) down and not having the best time?/j

I agree that we remove the destruction of Bludhaven and leave batrang incident

then good big brother dick grayson might show up and kick bruce's ass for what he did to jay

i want more hurt/comfort tomy babygirl jason todd or he's just suffering or they'll all make peace and live happily ever after (sounds good but ugh disgusting)

No promises on the Blüdhaven bit 👀

also the post i reblogged earlier that was like “sexualizing that old man is a full time job and brother ive never called in sick” is so funny to me bc i specifically reblogged that post with vlad in mind as it is that this entire blog is dedicated to my indulgent vladislaus straud x self-insert oc fanfiction and he is my sweet pathetic old fart of a man that i love and cherish so dearly, but also in my universe hes not even old, hes literally 31. hes like the average age of a reddit moderator

god … hyperfixation crossovers

on that note it would be so funny if an animaniacs/a series of unfortunate events crossover had chicken boo as count olaf. that would be a little silly i think

What they don’t tell you when you’re trying to order prints to sell at an artist alley is that suddenly every picture you’ve ever drawn is bad 🫠
