#d20 always delivers

[heytherecentaurs]

Burrow's End is an absolute masterpiece.

In the span of ten episodes Aabria and Co. weave an exciting and emotional adventure story about a family of sentient stoats. It delivers huge laughs, interesting societal criticism, remarkably emotional and well-acted scenes and concludes with a series of epilogue scenes that feel appropriate for each character, some heartfelt and subdued and others bigger than life and all the funnier for it.

Siobhan and Izzy play the perfect pair of siblings. They fight and argue but they also love each other. Jaysohn (Siobhan) looks up to Lila (Izzy) and believes she's the smartest stoat in the world (and by the end she probably is) and Lila hypes up her little brother's athletic skills. They both fully embodied these kids and I could watch them do fun stuff for more episodes. Give me a version of Saved by the Bell with them. Stoat by the Bell.

Brennan and Rashawn, playing sisters, also knock it outta the park, showing a more mature sibling dynamic. Brennan portrays Tula as the quintessential overtired single mother of excitable kids, and Rashawn as younger sister Viola straddles a very interesting line of being intimidating to outsiders but very much more naive and looking to her older sister when she starts a family.

Jasper as Thorn, a guy everyone just lets be a cult leader because he really wanted to, is fantastic. His is a difficult role as the only non-blood relative. Jasper plays Thorn with such real humanity of a guy in over his head and letting his ambition wife call the shots, but also one who agrees with her goal, really loves her and has moments of real menace. He has some very funny scenes, his big speech is perfect, and I just enjoy him.

Erika is wonderful. They play the epitome of generational trauma as many have said but as much trauma as Ava has, she is also loving and willing to learn. The fact Erika took this adversarial role is incredible. The tense dramatic scene primarily between Ava, Tula and Viola is amazing. They act their asses off and make hard choices that I imagine are difficult even for such an experienced player.

Aabria's DMing always feels fun. She doesn't get bogged down in the rules. She knows them. She plays by them. But as a master, she knows how and when to break them too. Her seasons on Dimension 20 have all had a tenseness, a particular edge to them that can give me anxiety during dramatic scenes between two characters. It always feel like one of her NPCs may say something devastating and the tension between characters reaches really thrilling heights. This is present in other seasons, but I don't think anyone does it as well as she does. The first season of hers to have battle maps, Aabria really swung for the fences and gave us some of the wildest maps to date.

Shout out to Carlos Luna's voice acting. He did an incredible job. And shout out to the whole crew who have put together one of the best seasons of D20. They keep finding ways to build on what's come before and they should be commended for it.

Dimension 20 is most successful when the concept is very streamlined. They don't do huge 100 episode campaigns capable of handling huge winding complex narrative, but short focused D&D stories, which is why many of the Side Quests have been so fantastic. They embody this philosophy most clearly, but it's apparent in the most beloved Intrepid Heroes seasons as well—John Hughes/High Fantasy, Game of Thrones/Candyland, Retrofuturism, Film Noir but in a Brain... Burrow's End fits this perfectly. It's streamlined concept paired with great storytellers and great chemistry sets it up to be a smash hit before it begins. And goddamn does it deliver.

Thanks Stupendous Stoats!

[sea-buns]

Something about watching a d20 trailer that focuses so hard on the heartfelt bits terrifies me.

It's a given that Aabria will make me cry. It always happens. No matter what, she never fails to deliver. But I feel like this whole season is gonna be THAT. Like, more than usual.

It's a season about a cute little family of stoats fleeing from some unknown danger. Y'all ever seen a stoat? You google that yet?

We are DEAD.

[fairer-tales]

Didn’t expect a wifeguy stoat this season but d20 always delivers

Progress report ! ૮ ºﻌºა ✨ kind of a work-in-progress diary for myself. v indulgent.

intense world of dick terrifying - goin good! got a main character, some supporting characters, figuring out the big rivalry today. Gotta figure out a format. I was thinking of basing it off of the Day at the Airport book bc it's only about 11 spreads but there's a lot going on on each one. Could leave it a comic but I also want it to be printable hmm catnips cantrips chooseyer-by-mail test - learning a lot! the world-building has been reallllllly fun - like the kind of fun where you want to go a little deeper bc you like it not bc you have to. perfect situation. Gotta resolve the mix between the DM roleplay and the actual postcards. Made and branded a whole gmail account and character to handle lost postcards - Pizza Kentucky III of the Isekai Post Office. Haven't been keeping up with the blog. But the blog is supposed to be more of a holding container than a 'thing'. One thing I did not expect to be learning was spreadsheets. Keeping track of names and addresses and choices and paths has given me a new perspective on pacing and structure. Also? Been a great excuse to finally play with UV epoxy and it's so straightforward that I'm mad it took me so long. media thats not just webcomics - dunmeshi is out!!! Laios my beloved. Still afraid to find and read Kotteri's Veil bc it will make me too feelings. Started reading books I loved as a kid (Redwall!!!) and some story craft books (found an NPR list somewhere) WRHP s2 - started to feel like work but changing up the backgrounds freed me up, feels fun again Sorcerer comic - paused while I wait for fashion inspiration to pull the ending together Emotional support paladin - paused till I feel like it. It's got such a specific delivery style that I don't wanna force to get the story out, so i gotta wait for some story aspects to firm up Bonnie & Clawd - more of a character study than a comic - fun to practice cutie pies cuddling. But... how DO birds and wolves smooch. Saw a youtube video about how ravens and wolves are friends and work together. So perfect. Valentines day thing - got some supplies coming tomorrow, gonna try out my idea. If it works maybe sell it? If it doesn't work, oh well, probably will learn something. Wanted to make perforated cards and stickers but got a little overwhelmed thinking about printing. Might just do a digital thing if an idea comes to me. Been wanting to make holographic stickers but when I sit down to think of a motif it feels stressful. Maybe I just test the Poodle Broadcasting System logo? I've always loved the aesthetic of valentines day but never felt like it's been delivered right. I certainly never felt indulged - something is always a little not-cute or too-cutesy. Think it could be really fun to have it be an annual 'surprise box'. I lost my halloween fam in the schmivorce so I could use a holiday to go crazy on. (For years I would drive out and help build a whole haunted house in a garage and it was like a week-long party with great food and movies and laughs. Sad to lose it, sadder still to know it was so easy for them to lose me. ) Dishupon - ok not as many players and responses as I'd hoped. But that wasn't really the point. Point was to invent some sanrio-y characters for fun - which i did. And I will also say that the exercise of coming up with a variety of cozy, fun, silly, spicy ways to think about dishes has made MY dishes mostly effortless. Even made a little foam clay Tiger coach and he's sitting on the window above the sink. Perhaps I will think of a game to get my car inspection done.

Overall January is great. Granted, it's the 4th. Had my ten year work anniversary (idk how old everyone thinks I am but it's Not 20) and got to 1010 followers on twitter on the same day. And the new d20 is out on the 10th so that felt real nice and square. Bit worried that all the good vibes I built up over holiday vacay will get smashed when I'm put on a new work project. But i feel like I'm about to level up a little bit art-style wise. Feelin grateful, feelin warm & cozy

[adainesfroggieboggy]

because i'm back on my cm bullshit (i promise d20 will come back i'm still writing aberfaeth and rowan/sofia) here's my masterlist for jemily :)

also most of these were written by a junior/senior in high school so take that as you will

Date Night? No. Spaghetti Cook-Off. (One-Shot)

JJ has been at her parent's house for a week. She expects to come home to Emily, maybe to dinner. Instead, she comes home to the entire BAU and a spaghetti cook-off.

Family Dinners (One-Shot)

Holidays with the BAU are never boring. Especially when Emily and JJ have news to deliver.

Little Miss Perfect (5/?)

Jennifer Jareau is perfect. Straight A's, soccer star, 4.6 GPA. She goes to church with her mother and brother every Sunday, volunteers with youth group on Saturdays, and finishes all of her homework on busses and during late-night study sessions. She's a shoo-in for valedictorian.

But when Emily Prentiss moves to town? JJ's secret becomes harder and harder to keep.

(inspired by the song Little Miss Perfect by Taylor Louderman)

Undercover (One-Shot)

JJ and Emily are undercover in a bar to find a homophobe-turned unsub.

Bet (5/8)

JJ and Emily bet on which team member will find out about their relationship first.

Messages (One-Shot)

JJ wasn't informed that her wife's death was fake.

(this is where i remind you I wrote this in high school)

Memories (2/?)

When Emily joins the BAU, JJ is reminded of their rocky past.

Scheming (9/9)

JJ and Emily are so painfully, obviously in love, it's becoming a problem. When their longing gazes and lingering touches start to become excessive, Penelope Garcia decides she needs to take action.

Silver Bells (2/?)

Emily hasn't visited her hometown in years. She doesn't talk to anyone, she doesn't call, and she doesn't care. She's happy living in DC, working a big, fancy FBI job, and leading a mainly solitary existence. That is, until a phone call from one of her high school classmates (who is now the sheriff) brings her right back home to handle her mother's funeral arrangements.

JJ didn't last long out in the world. She made it through college, then came right back home, pregnant and alone. She hadn't been thought about her high school best friend in years, not since they both left home for new lives and better futures, but when her son, Henry runs right into her, it seems the world has been turned on its head.

Rest (One-Shot)

JJ can't sleep. Emily always helps

Space Heater (One-Shot)

JJ sleeps hot. She wakes up sweating every morning, baby hairs sticking to her forehead. Emily is the opposite. Her body remains cold no matter how thick her socks are or how many blankets she piles over herself. Somehow, they're a perfect balance.

[thisisnotthenerd]

got a little too bored today and started tallying up d20 cast appearances for the intrepid heroes (and brennan). this is only off of the top of my head so if i forget something don't get on me about it.

Intrepid Heroes D20 Cast Appearances, including sidequests (and BLeeM), ranked from highest to lowest:

Brennan Lee Mulligan with a total of 17/19 seasons that he has appeared in; dm/gming for 14 of those seasons. 7 of those are main cast/intrepid heroes, so assume they each have a baseline of seven.

next up is mister Lou Wilson, with a total of 10 seasons; 3 sidequests, all with guest gms. the man is a combination of dnd knowledge and commit to the bit. great with any season, but has always sidequested with brennan.

tied at nine, we have zac oyama and ally beardsley; ally featured heavily in 2021 sidequests while zac has been more recent in '22 and '23.

tied at eight we have the lovely ladies emily axford and siobhan thompson! i'm so glad siobhan has joined the ranks of intrepid heroes in sidequests, it feels like they just have a lot of fun on the shorter runs.

and in last place, mr brian 'murph' murphy. i know he's busy with naddpod but only intrepid heroes seasons? 7/19? please come on a sidequest my guy. i promise it's fun.

halfway through this process i've decided that guests are also being included now.

Guest Cast D20 Appearances, ranked from highest to lowest:

at the top of the guest list, the effervescent aabria iyengar, with 5/12 sidequest seasons! 2 seasons of gming, 3 seasons as a player, all 3 of which are in established d20 worlds e.g. spyre and calorum. assuming we have an intrepid heroes season coming up at some point in the future, murph can get a bit of a lead, but if aabria's coming on to guest more there's a very real potential that she will outcompete him. i look forward to the day.

next up: erika ishii with 4 seasons. they came on in the first sidequest and have had a steady stream of appearances since. always some kind of mage--tends towards druids/nature magic. 2/3 of her dnd appearances have been druids with an eye for creepy crawlies and the darker side of nature. he's got an aesthetic that he sticks to, and i admire that. real commitment, and not just to the bit.

tied with three we have rekha shankar and matthew mercer. ooh four-syllable names. sorry i got distracted. anyway. very excited to see rekha in desiquest, though she's a fantastic player on d20. big swings, fun character choices, a good balance of support for narrative and spotlight. and then we have matt--one season gming, but for the seasons he's played? some truly cringefail guys who learn to believe in themselves and break out of their personal depression to deliver an asskicking in their finale episode. man likes his themes.

now for the team of two (not the 2 crew) in chronological order of first appearance: mike trapp, ify nwadiwe, lily du, carlos luna, danielle radford, and izzy roland. just enough to make an average d20 table! i'm getting my fill of trapp and danielle in the current season, but seeing a table of these players together? it has potential.

and for the full list of one time appearances on d20 in chronological order of first appearance (only full seasons, not including oneshots atm):

amy vorpahl

justin mcelroy

clint mcelroy

jessica ross

griffin mcelroy

travis mcelroy

My top 6 dimension 20 shows ranked with little to no context

So all you DnD dropout girlies know dimension 20 has some excellent excellent content. I started my actual play watching with D20 so I am, of course, biased, but I just prefer watching something that well edited with a range of play styles and game familiarity. The fact that some of the tables have players who have played for decades and others who are starting their first game is really great. The diverse, laugh-out-loud but somehow also make-you-want-to-cry game play is just unmatched. So, I decided to be moderately unhinged this Sunday afternoon and rank my favorite dimension 20 shows as of February 2023. 

1. A Court of Fey and Flowers: Listen I was promised Bridgeton in the feywilds and Aabria Iyengar delivered. The epistolary phase! My ace pillar boy really doing the most. The “I’m taking my suitcase out on a walk.” Not to mention the fact that Jeremy Renner is an NPC. 

2. The Seven: I am nothing if not chaotic and I did, in fact, start my D20 watching with this show. The horse-girl energy was giving what it needed to give. The teamwork was excellent. I also love them. So there. 

3. The Neverafter: As a medieval-early modern girly with a hunger for oral tradition and retellings, this show is my catnip. It is at number three because we are only halfway through the season, but I am having a great time. Every time Emily or Siobhan light up at myth recognition, I too am excited. Also, death is everywhere so that’s a nice touch. 

4. Misfits and Magic: If I want to recommend someone watch a manageably small campaign this is what I recommend. All the PCs know how to craft the worst person to go to wizard school, which is glorious. Plus it is non-TERF wizard school content which we always appreciate in fandom spaces. Of course, you should also watch the holiday special, but yes, Aabria is an excellent GM once again.

5. A Starstruck Odyssey: It’s a campaign based on Elaine Lee’s before it’s time graphic novel series. Of course, this is Brennan (give the monster a cookie) Lee Mulligan’s mother and their interviews explain so much about him as a person. The world-building, character, and story arcs are impeccable. See you in the stars forever and always. 

6. Fantasy High: I gotta include an oldie but a goodie. Will never be over watching this group work through teen adventurer problems. But also, unmatched NPCs. Bill Seacaster! Cathilda Ceíli! Wilma and Digby Thistlespring! Sklonda Gukgak! Our yogurt icon Gilear Faeth! Ayda Aguefort! All very good people who live rent-free in my mind. 

So I hope this moderately chaotic list was, if nothing else, fun to read. Stay nerdy intrepid heroes!

I’ve honestly been thinking about how to reconcile actually seeing problems with CR content policy and all that stuff with those people being close friends and collaborators with people from D20.

( Especially that I do consider myself the CR fan, I like watch the streams which feels a bit hypocrytical but I giess I could have worse hyperfixations lol; to clarify I am also a D20 fan and been before even I have started watching CR)

Obviously I am of the opinion that glamourizing and putting creators and artists of any content we like is dangerous (and seeing them as our allies or friends in some capacity) - and we as fans don’t really know those people and shouldn’t base our moral judgement as ours.

But like I still wonder, how do people like Brennan think of CR and their policy, especially considering Brennan frequently praised Matt not just as a creator but as a person

I am curious on your thoughts, not trying to start any discourse here, just thinking

great questions! I want to start off by saying that I really don't care to speculate what brennan's opinion on the policies are: firstly because I don't parasocialize people like that, and secondly because he would not be in charge of any content policies for dimension 20 even if he felt some sort of way about it. I think if you want to reconcile liking CR while having issues its content policy, we need to look at what the issues are first.

as much as I've dunked on CR's content policy, it is nothing unusual for shows to want to protect their own IP. the terms of copyright in there are pretty standard for any form of media (even if I think it's pretty ironic that critical role is itself derivative of another franchise). the only reason dimension 20 doesn't have anything similar is because they're not at the point where it's profitable for people to sell knockoff merch or make knockoff mobile games using their characters yet. I think you need to prepare yourself for dimension 20 eventually reaching that level of success too.

dimension 20 from the start has and always WILL market itself much more as a product than critical role. it explicitly is one of the few things that kept dropout going through the bankruptcy of collegehumor as a parent company, it treats its audience like paying customers and respects audience feedback accordingly, and that's fine! I like that about it! it means that we get sensitivity consultants and production value, because we are customers paying for a product and there are now standards on how that product is delivered.

so yes, I do think dimension 20 will, at some point, implement their own content policy. they already have copyright over their works and properties, even if it's not stated anywhere on site. I have asked about the validity of fanworks before, and gotten this as a response:

For copyright protection reasons we are obligated to protect our IP in instances where we see it being monetized / exploited (the legal meaning) by non-official sources, and sanctioning monetized fanworks in an official sense could create a situation where our copyright becomes compromised on a legal level (without that sanctioning being a long legalese-ful document filled with caveats).

so we're at the same place that critical role fans were five years ago - it's not technically sanctioned, but dimension 20 has been turning a blind eye and even supporting some of the charity endeavours that involve the use of their IP. what remains to be seen is what happens when D20 eventually does put a content policy of their own in place, and which types of fan content will be restricted.

my issue with critical role's content policy is and always will be how they choose to reinforce it, and the way CR itself still markets itself as a small game between friends and refuses to acknowledge how corporate it has become. they may not be explicitly allowed in their policy, but imo they should only come into play when there's actual scammers using copyrighted logos or copyrighted images to sell products.

a content policy for CR was inevitable. there will be one in the future for dimension 20 too. but there is no reason that CR should have been striking down charity projects and fanzine productions, from members of their own community and official artists no less. I can only hope dimension 20 will not go down the same route in the future.

My media this week (1-7 Oct 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🙂 Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer's Guide to the Universe (Phil Plait, author & narrator) - The Bad Astronomer paints pictures of what the sky would look like standing on the surface of other planets, asteroids, etc.

😊 Initiation (Sex Wizards #1) (Alethea Faust) - erotic BDSM fantasy - actually a bit more plot & worldbuilding than I was expecting tbh, entertaining

😞 Miss Aldridge Regrets (Canary Club Mystery #1) (Louise Hare, author; Georgina Campbell, narrator) - This isn't a mystery the MC investigates, it's a mystery that happens TO her. She was tediously passive, seeming really rather naïve & foolish (esp given her age and life experience) and entirely in denial about pretty much everything that happens to her (since she's being actively framed for murder). However, the very short interval chapters from the killer's perspective did hook my interest and left me genuinely curious about the mystery. At about 44% I jumped to the end to see how the mystery resolved. I'm counting it as read since I did read over 50% of it.

😍 A Most Agreeable Murder (Julia Seales, author; Fiona Hampton, narrator) - comical pastiche/parody mashup of: Jane Austen (specifically), regency-set/gothic novels (in general) & Agatha Christie/country house mysteries - funny & entertaining, deftly done. Very Nightmare Abbey vibes in the absolute best way. I enjoyed all the caricature characters but 'overlooked tedious (but secretly a [redacted]) sister' Mary was my fave, absolute gothic queen

💖💖 +94K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

I'm dating the least inquisitive man in Ottawa (GlitterCity) - Rachel Reid's Game Changers: Troy Barrett/Harris Drover (but really mostly gen), 4K - cute, really nailed the character voices

Tinder Is the Night (rohkeutta) - MCU: stucky, 6K - hilarious, forever fave [reread]

Stay (fandomfluffandfuck) - MCU: stucky, 31K - silver fox/old guard Dom Steve subbing for newbie Dom Bucky - great character voices, hot af sex!

bitten hand guides best (frankoceansmoonriver) - The Witcher: Geraskier, 33K - lovely little fic with werewolf!Jaskier & witcher Geralt

Casting My Opinions Into The Void: d20′s Neverafter ep 1+2

this is the first d20 campaign im going to be following live and i am excited enough to do a lil post each week or so about it. mostly bc recycling and adapting and retelling and retranslating old stories that “everyone knows” is my whole shit. like i got a degree in the study of ancient greek and roman civilization (classics). my whole thing is reading old myths and plays that “everyone knows” how they go and seeing what each author/translator brings to the table.

anyway i watched episodes 1 n 2 and i am excited and my observations are below

(like if you were really into the Sisters Grimm series as a kid and are similarly excited for this lol the modernized fairytale characters in that series are literally called “Everafters” and its because it’s really good shorthand for the audience. i see you brennan i see you)

normally ppl who do the whole ‘dark/horror/thriller fairytale’ thing fuck it up bc they think it’s about the shock value, or about seeing how nasty you can get with it, so I usually avoid them, but after bingewatching a kadrillion d20 campaigns, I trust brennan to do it right. you have to find the core value/crux of what is horrifying about the story and tease it out, and play with the symbolism and icons of the original story to reflect that. and brennan fuckin delivered.

ep 1

folks, give a hand to the people who put detailed yet non-spoilery content warnings in the description. tbh dropout shows are setting the standard for sensitivity and inclusion in media. it’s so lovely to see a show w content warnings or pronouns put up onscreen and it just not be addressed. i am forever spoiled for any other kind of media tbh

at some point in the past, brennan found out he could make a really good realistic choking/gagging noise, and he has used it in every campaign since.

i appreciate the ‘scare off the meek early’ approach of it all.

th. the briars. the concept. the dead princes - UGH good backstory yall

i very much like the idea of becoming a ranger out of necessity, and because plants obey you on account of that whole feeding-on-your-blood thing

puss in boots using ‘pib’ as a nickname instead. of ‘puss’ or ‘boots’ - inspired

also zac is using his ‘smart little shit’ voice like he did w lapin and i am v excited.

look ill say it - the little red hen did nothing wrong and thats on that. i read that one when i was very little, it was on electric company or sesame st or between the lions, and i’ve always liked it.

so......anyone see how mother goose’s husband has the last name hubbard? like old mother hubbard lol

also there really is a Jack in so many stories, i’m glad we’re addressing this. little shit gets up to so much trouble

it feels like I have seen so many tired rewritings of little red riding hood, even though I can’t think of any off the top of my head. it’s usually a sort of surface-deep ‘girl power!’ situation. i’ve never seen one like this. i LOVE it. it was terrifying. the fact that we all just sort of accept ‘barbarian’ as a normal dnd class is kind of wild tbh, i like exploring that rage and its source.

Ep 2

saying the actual nursery rhyme in the context of being the nursery rhyme is so powerful. i fully didn’t understand what was happening to nat king cole (v powerful) until he was gone.

also, herr drosselmeyer - fantastic get. you have to talk about the sugar plum fairy at some point and they already went in hard on her in acoc so i love that they were like you know what, it’s weird uncle time.

(context: herr drosselmeyer is clara’s eccentric uncle with a bunch of automatons and he gives her the nutcracker)

also every production ive seen has his drip immaculate. 

my gender is this man’s cloak

Murph is the fucking ball again

“Please tell me how you’re a monster too so I don’t feel so alone” - Jesus Christ Emily Axford

Almost getting distracted by a bird instead of picking up v obvious plot hooks: pt 2

cinderella.......dude

Brennan really looked at K’s finale scene from mismag and went “how DID the mice get lithium?”

The POV of the mice - simplifying it makes it sound ridiculous, but if you really dig into the idea of the mice as sentient beings it’s horrifying.

Dude the symbolism…stepmother eating her kids bc they were always either a tool or an obstacle to her, of course they would be a sacrifice to her hunger for power.

i’ve always liked endings that have the stepsisters reconciling w cinderella bc in the end they were also victims of abuse and it wasn’t the same or the same degree of abuse as cinderella but they were still constantly on thin ice

can you tell that i rewatched d20 live recently and sobbed at adaine and aelwyn’s ending?

Cinderella stabbing the fairy godmother with the broken heel of the shoe that symbolizes both the ending she was meant for and the life that she was forced into. Turning that into glass armor. dude.

The pumpkin carriage rotting bc the fairy godmother is trying to make the happily ever after stay exactly how it is forever but nature decays and time passes and she can’t acknowledge that without realizing both that her role is in the story is over and not only does cinderella not need her anymore, cinderella doesn’t want her anymore, and maybe never wanted her in the first place. 

When puss in boots was asked what he wanted in life and he just said ‘to be comfortable’ #relatable like I know all this is gonna end with him realizing the value of love and friendship over material goods and I 100% agree with that but i feel like this goal or some variation of it are v common today and not often addressed in stories like this

Pinocchio swearing - 10/10. Also how the fuck is Lou doing a Pinocchio voice that perfectly straddles the line between hilarious and annoying. It’s ridiculous enough to always be funny, but sustainable and varied enough that it doesn’t grate on you.

i think we’re getting into “all the princesses in all the stories are all sisters” territory and i for one am THRILLED

"mirror, mirror.......leaned up against the wall”

we learn in this adventuring party that the OG concept for lou’s pinocchio is that he snapped off his nose so he would be able to lie, which is AMAZING. i fully did not put that together.

i am v excited for this battle, and v terrified.

Critical Role, Campaign 3 Episode 56

Yet again I'm repeating my constant (lately) plea ... for the love of the Wildmother and the rest, PLEASE tell us what's happening with the others ... we're DYING here, guys!

How did it go? Oh boy ... yeah ... Sam, you couldn't have been more wrong. But we're still SOOOOOOOO proud of our girl all the same! You rule, Marisha!

Wow ... WHY are you suddenly all FRENCH on this NordVPN ad, Samuel? What are you doing to us? That was just PAINFUL ...

The crazed way Laura delivered "in addition to that!" was just SO nuts it's adorable ... I loved it ...

COOKIES!!! YUM!!! ALWAYS room for cookies!

Yeah, I heard about Daggerheart! That looks SO COOL ... ooh, and JOE MAD ARTWORK!!! AWESOME!!! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!

Yeah ... given no Marisha it don't look good for checking in with the wayward trio THIS week ...

Oh gods yes, the goats ... I cannot wait to see where THIS is gonna go ...

Matt's making notes already ... never a good sign ...

Oh, the travel roll on the D20 for the first day ... oof ... Aabria? Okay, roll good ... 12? Phew ...

Sam rolls fir the SECOND day? Oh boy ...5?!!! Seriously, Sam? Oh no ... gah ...

Yes! PROVE it to the Flatworlder the truth once and for all!

Third day ... 2? Roll a D6? Ouch ... 5? Hmmm ... what does THIS mean? Oh fuck, a BLIZZARD?!!! Aaaaaaaah ... Great, and now they're gonna FREEZE to death! Yup, Imogen got no pants! She's gonna get COLD!!!

Oh gods, Ashley, what X-rated fresh hell have you wrought?

Ah, so Chetney's freezing his tiny arse off too ... ZIP UP THAT CHEST, CHET!!!

Imogen asks Fearne to sit on her ... oh gods, seriously? There's NO WAY that can't be construed well, is there?

Laura rolls ANOTHER 1 for the next day ... 3 on the D6? Oof ... Aabria: "Dost thou like the taste of butter?" LOL

WAHEY!!! Matt found the map!

Fuck, what the hell just hit Letters? Ouch ... 18 points of bludgeoning damage? Ow ... what the hell is THIS?!!!

Oooh, Telekinesis on the rock? Cool ...

Giants? Hmmm ... OH!!! NICE!!! FLOATING ROCK FOR THE WIN!!! Oh, she gonna throw it BACK?!!! Nice ... yeah, roll good, Laura! Yes! Roll 4 D10 of damage? Whoa ... 22? Nice ... BOOM!!! Stunned the fucker mid run!

Oh wow, the goats SLED to get away from predators! That is so cool ...

NATURAL 20!!! 49 points of damage? Holy fuck ... that was almost TRAGIC ...

Imogen is now gonna TRIP the other guy up? Oh nice ... ouch, that must hurt too ...

"The full tossed raccoon" ... XD

Wait, so a giant doesn't count as a humanoid ... hmmm ...

Yes! Fearne! Torch that ass!

Whoa ... FRIDA's gonna SHOOT OUT the guy's knees ... ouch ... 18 points on the FIRST hit, 16 on the second? AND they're firing AGAIN with an Action Surge ... ANOTHER 10 points of damage! Oooooooooh ... that was just NASTY ...

Yeah, they sure shouldn't press their luck after that ...

Making fun of Matt's goat impressions ... XD Bonus chin lifts ...

CAN goats swim?

DOES Fearne have Speak With Animals? Let's see ... apparently some goats enjoy "water play"? Oh gods ...

Donny speaks ... oh boy ... "Like a goat centipede?" Oh my fucking gods! XD

Chetney: "They're not seals! They won't survive 30 degree water!" Yeah, make a proper boat instead, please ...

Fashioning a log raft ... Chetney's in charge, PROBABLY a good call. Oh wait ... Deanna? Hmmm ... WITH Guidance ... it's 11? Hmmm again ... oh, Chetney's helping? Thank the gods ...

Aabria: "We're not leaving the goats cuz I LOVE THEM ..." :3

Oh, so Deanna's having a talk with FCG zbout their INTENTIONS ... here we go ... FCG: "Oh man, just imagine me as a heartbreaker, leaving a trail of wreckage behind." Deanna: "A single tread." FCG: "Yeah!" XD

I love how FCG just reverses the tables on her in the funniest way. But they're also being quite sweet. Deanna: "I've always wanted to be that birch." LOL

Camping for the night, then ...

Components ... Aabria: "Oh man, we're playing with STUFF?!!!"

Imogen: "I can't tell if it's just warm here or I pooped my pants!" Chetney: "Either way you win!" Oof ...

Commune? Interesting ... hmmm ... is this a moment of truth for the metallic cleric?

Wait ... is FCG actually getting a response? Sweet ... yeah, it's subtle, but very cool ... nice ... wait, is he actually SEEING the Changebringer? That's so cool ... and the LITERAL coin flip! Nice!

FCG: "Do you need help?" Oh ... is that a YES? Wow ...

Oh man ... this is SO POWERFUL ... wow indeed ... affirmation for FCG. So cool.

Fuck ... the flat earth thing AGAIN ... LOL

FCG: "You believe? But you're so cynical!" Deanna: "I put my faith more in PEOPLE."

Hmmmm ... Deanna's CONSTANT fear ...

The Changebringer's a cool, VIBING god, apparently ...

Imogen's thinking about trying to contact Laudna in her dreams ... unless she get sucked up into Ruidus ... hmmm ... is it really worth it? Apparently she has Disadvantage in her sleep ... crap ...

Planerider Chetney's back ... XD

Taking turns on watch ... FRIDA goes first. Nothing happens. Yup ...

Deanna is ATTUNED to smoochies ... XD

Knock off one exhaustion point, then.

Laura (deep voice): "Mage buff! I'm so Mage buff, you guys!"

Matt: "Using Titanic logic ..." (snort!)

Matt: "Who has the highest intelligence here?" Travis (as Chetney): "I DO!!! Which is fucking terrifying!"

Fit the goats on the raft ... wow ... this is insane. And therefore hilarious ...

Wait ... did Deanna REALLY just KILL Gerry? O.O

Yes. The goats are now TERRIFIED. As they should be ...

1,000 to 1,200 pounds each? Blimey ...

Oh my gods this is a riotous clusterfuck and I am LOVING IT ... LOL

Fearne speaks to Donny Boy ... oh boy ... "He exploded!" Yeesh ... "I don't wanna explode!" Fuck! Cry laughing, I swear ... and Patchwork is EATING Gerry's annihilated remains ... dear gods ... "We're gonna stay and eat Gerry!" Fuuuuuuuuuck ...

Carrying on down the river on the raft without the goats, then ...

Ooooh ... suddenly it's all dark ... hmmmm ... and misty? Double hmmmm ...

Wow, this is just like some proper full on PRIMORDIAL forest, ain't it? Creepy ...

Sam: "Did you make a rollerblade warthog?!"

No wildlife sounds AT ALL ... oh, that is just SO WRONG ...

That's right, Chetney DID bite FRIDA ... and now it's actually OUT LOUD ... hmmm ... yeah, Deanna is FREAKING OUT ...

NO!!! Chetney CANNOT hear what Imogen and FRIDA are saying TELEPATHICALLY!!!

Now FRIDA's worried too. Yes. They SHOULD be ...

Ashley's rolling for the first day of travel on the river ... 2? OF FUCK!!! She has to roll a D8 ... Laura: "We're gonna die!"

Oh lawd, something's coming in the woods ... fuck ... yes. Kill the "engine" ...

And now it's pitch black ... put on some lights! Oh, that is NOT an improvement ... whoa ... oh great, Will o' the Wisps, lovely ... O.O

Uh-oh ... NOW what?

Hunter's Bane. Yup ... there's Fey energy out there ... oh shit, pixies? Never good ...

Oh crap, what the hell is THIS fucking thing? Please have mercy on us, Matthew ...

Ewwwwwww ... this thing is just ... yuck ...

Ashley (with her mouth full): "Guidance!" XD

Crap ... and now it's in the river ... and CHASING THEM!!! Matt: "And we're gonna go to break!" NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

We're back, and ... ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Nice map! And terrifying creature, too ... oh gods help us ...

Control Water ... and now they're going TOWARDS IT too ... great ...

Turmoil! Yay!

Tentacles! Yikes! 22 points of bludgeoning damage to FRIDA, and 18 points of bludgeoning damage ... and now they're BOTH GRAPPLED!!! SHIT!!! AND a tongue attack? Crap! No joy against FRIDA, though ... phew ...

Elect to FAIL? What?

FCG: "Nobody tongues FRIDA except for ME!!!"

Fearne tries to torch it! Strangely underwhelming, though ... damn water beasties ...

Inflict Wounds at 4th Level? Ouch ... 6 D10s of damage ... dice maths ... 40 points of Necrotic damage? Holy fuck! Nice, Imogen! Whoa ... cloudy black eyes? Scary shit ...

BOOM!!! FRIDA shoots and FUCKS SHIT UP!!! Sharpshooter! Yeah .... NO!!! Miss! One more ... A HIT!!! 46 points of damage overall! Yeah! Wait ... no, 52 points! DOUBLE yeah!

Evil pixies! Shiiiiit! Laura: "Is this Charmed? Am I being Charmed?" Matt: "No! You are Polymorphed into a fox!" FUCK!!!

Tries the same on Deanna ... FAIL!!! Phew ... Deanna: "No! Shoo! Go home!"

And Fearne just SHOOS the same off! Nice ...

Deanna full on fucking DROWNS the pixies! Nice ... and that BREAKS concentration, so Imogen is BACK!!! Phew ...

FCG wants to help FRIDA ... so what, they THROW THEMSELVES at the creature? Really? Ah, no ... they just fire the grapple at its "toothy maw" ... and Sam rolls a 2 ... hmmm ... Spiritual Weapon, then! Slightly bigger than Deanna's. "Because it's a competition!" Znd they try the grapple again and LATCH ONTO THE BEAST!!!

Deanna realises all the robits really DO have a deathwish! LOL

Chetney pours on beaucoup Slashing AND Thunder Damage with Turmoil! NATURAL 20!!! Nice! Double damage!

And now it's gonna bite FRIDA ... yeah, sage to say 26 hits! And now they're SWALLOWED!!! FUCK!!! And now more tentacles! Imogen takes 17 points of bludgeoning damage and now SHE'S grappled too ... but Deanna's a miss! Phew ...

Fearne gets an attack of opportunity! Slashing it with her sickle ... 6 misses! Crap! But now it's her turn, so ... NICE!!! Strangle the fucker! And now Mister chucks some flaming shit! Nice!

No telepathic attack with FRUDA in it! Okay ... Imogen casts Inflict Wounds instead. 29 points of Necrotic damage! And Telepathic Shove? Yeah, that works ... bur doesn't actually DO much ... yeah ...

FRIDA uses bonus action to reload and uses Sharpshooter ... despite disadvantage, Nat20! 29 points if damage from INSIDE!!! AND IT VOMITS THEM OUT!!! BONUS!!! And now they're getting washed away in the river! Shit!

Pathetic pixie can't do shit on FRIDA! Phew ...

And Travis rolls a NAT20!!! ALSO a fail for another one. It just vanishes in disgust.

Deanna casts Mass Cure Wounds ... and then COMPLETELY FAILS to do anything else ...

FCG let's go znd grapples a nearby tree! Now for a mace attack with Spiritual Weapon ... 16 points of damage!

Beastie is HURT now, might be looking to BOLT ...

Shatter? Oooooh ... Chetney trieste blow down the tree to flatten the fucker ... AND IT TANKS its con save? Whoo ... so the tree crushes it ... CHETNEY GETS THE HDYWTDT!!! "Timber, motherfucker!" Oh yeah, it is IMPALED ...

So that's that ... and they carry on like nothing happened. After Deanna finally shoos off the pixies. "Your guy's dead! Go home!"

So there's no light ... NO LIGHT!!! (Sorry ... went all Florence + the Machine there for a second ... XD)

Imogen, DO NOT invoke a waterfall right now!

Fearne wants to talk to the fish to see what's ahead ... IS THERE anything normal in this water? Oh boy ... catfish? Are we SURE?!!! Okay, here we go ... wait, is she GOING IN?!!! She is turning into a fish! Blimey ... no, she's just gonna stick her head in and cast Speak With Animals.

Oh ... UGLY BLIND FISH!!! Lovely ...

Wow ... Fearne completely blanks on what she's even saying to it ... ye gods ...

Fearne thinks the fish with the creepy second mouth is CUTE ... "the Wolf King"? What the FUCK?!!!

Fearne: "What's he eat?" Nasty fish: "Probably you."

Oh okay, and now it's ON HER ARM!!! Bloody hell ... "Bye!" as she YEETS it off ...

Chetney thinks perhaps HE is the Wolf King ...

"Recognise the Alpha" returns again ... Deanna: "I'm still weirdly turned on by that! It's the goat's blood!" Matt: "Nature's aphrodisiac."

Night falls and they go to sleep ... FCG's on watch ... CRAP!!! RAPIDS!!! AAAAH!!!

FRIDA's watch next ... and now Deanna's up too ... heart-to-heart ... and they're talking zbout the possibility of FRIDA being a werewolf, and the future in general ... hmmm ...

Prayers to the Dawnfather ...

New day ... Travis rolls a 17! Oh thank the gods ...

Chetney's keeping his nose open for unpleasantness ... particularly undead ... yup ...

Deeper, darker, more unpleasant ...

Another day ... Aabria rolls shit ... no! Here we go again ...

Curse Geysers? REALLY?!!!

Oh bollocks ... just FUMIGATED!!! This is SO BAD ...

Fearne and Deanna take a direct hit ... 2 points of exhaustion each and their hit points are reduced by 5? NASTY!!!

Fearne and Deanna both: "I don't like it!"

Ruins on the banks ... oh, here we go ... and they go aground now. Smart, especially after what just happened.

So there's a tower ... a mile or two away ... hmmm ...

FCG's viking blood bread ... okay ... AND it gives them BACK the lost hit points! Perfect.

Even telepathically Imogen's mouth is full ... "Thank you."

Wait, they are SERIOUSLY gonna walk a mile and a half through the Savalirwood?

Oh yeah, this place isjudt UNPLEASANT. There us just MALICE all around them.

The tower is in sight. And it's NOT the only one, either ... yup, this us what they've been looking for.

It's Elven ... oh yeah, this is DEFINITELY the place. Wait ... WEBS?!!! SERIOUSLY?!!! Come on! Do not do THAT to us, Matt ...

23 with disadvantage on Survival? Nice roll, Ashley!

Are there any trees around? Matt: "Oh yeah, there are SO MANY trees."

Those are some RIDICULOUS high stealth rolls, guys!

Thought Eater, the Crimson Shade ... so cool ... and a seriously SWEET entrance.

A massive elk? Whoa ... and it's AGGRESSIVE too ... fuck, that's it for the Shade, then. And this thing has NO FACE. And a FUCKLOAD of legs. With two it's just DRAGGING ... yuck! Oh my GODS and it also has HUMANOID ARMS ...

Travis: "This frequency's been compromised!"

"Long broken egg sacs"? REALLY?!!!

Deanna: "It is FUCKED in here!"

Imogen: "Chh -- we can only hear each other in or heads, there's no need to whisper." FRIDA: "Chh -- she's right."

BODIES in the trees? Actually IN the trees? Charming.

Matt: "And that's where we're gonna call it a night!" Just as he gives us all nightmares ...

TAG SOMEONE YOU WANT TO KNOW AND/OR SOME OF YOUR BESTIES

thanks to the lovely @lucky-bishop for the tag <3

favorite color: purple and pink

last song: "Shot Shot" by Gomez because that song came on in an episode and do you ever had a needle drop that is so perfect for you? And then you get to wax nostalgic about where you were when In Our Gun was released?

last movie: We had "Nightmare Before Christmas" on in the background earlier

currently watching: Suits (I blame @punchedbymarkesmith), D20's Burrow's End, and slowly but surely making my way though too many things to list.

other stuff I watched this year: I don't even know... what year is it? what have I watched? I have not been good with keeping up with movies, but I have watched a lot of shows... mostly these days I'm watching all of the Dropout content. It just makes me happy.

shows I dropped this year/didn’t finish: I mean pretty much everything I watch I accidentally don't finish. My watch list would be the equivalent of people leaving texts unread. Like why did not not watch the last 2 episodes? Idk I got distracted and forgot.

currently reading: I have been reading non-stop this year (and less fic that any time in recent memory). I'm currently reading "Watership Down" to get into the vibe for Burrow's End, and I'm reading "Boyslut" by Zachary Zane. I'm also listening to "Re: Dracula," so that counts as reading "Dracula," right?

currently listening to: I'm training for a 1/2 marathon, which means I'm listening to a ton of podcasts and books on tape because I don't run to music (I'm weird, I know). I've been trying to pick my way through the Sheridan Tapes (which I was liking a lot when each episode was kind of a spooky story, and now the meta narrative is dragging a bit -- also i love a good DIY podcast, but start getting annoyed when you can tell one person writes all the dialogue because every character has the same way of delivering a very specific line, in this case: what the hell?)

currently working on: work stuff mostly. I have to sit down and finish the last chapter of "Gimme Danger". Also Maybe planning a Stargent fic in my head.

current obsession: Dash mini waffle makers. I always knew I would have some eccentric something as I got older. I didn't know it would be having a ton of mini waffle makers in different shapes an colors.

[upside-down-uni]

hellooooo! For the tea asks - chai and hibiscus tea

For matcha - what's your most hated movie and book?

Have a great day babe<333

hiiiii anu beloved!!! <333 i just woke up and the sun is shining, I'm going to have an anu-sanctioned good day!

7. Chai: Where do you want to travel next?

I have some travels planned already, but the one I'm most excited about is a short trip to Manchester for the D20 live show!

16. Hibiscus tea: What is a song you can always hear?

Pretty much any Hozier song, maybe especially To Noise Making (Sing)? I can put him on when I'm tired on a trip to get some rest or when I'm severely overstimulated and having a breakdown and it just calms my brain!

30. Matcha: my most hated movie and book....

I'm struggling to remember a book I actively hated.... I dont usually read things that make me feel terrible... Oh, but I'm talking to someone in the discord about Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica, we are both extremely disappointed and annoyed about it. It was such a frustrating book to read because you see at every turn what it could have been but it simply never delivers on it's potential! Aggravating, to say the least!

And movie...(here is where I regret not having a letterboxed because I do not remember any of the movies I've watched) Does it count if I say Riverdale? I havent seen it but the way it exists (see: Jughead) is an affront to every aroace part of me. I will never forgive them.

I'm glad you have a good group of people to rely on! That absolutely helps get us through the hellscape that is American capitalism.

That makes sense. Getting a lot of emotional input- even if it's positive- can sometimes be overwhelming!

Oh, I don't mind at all! I'm the night shift pharmacy technician at the hospital in town. We're short staffed (have been ever since I started, and probably always will be), so I'm the only pharmacy tech between 10:30-11:30pm (depending on who's working) and 6am. I have a pharmacist that I work with too, obviously, but he's lazy and doesn't help me out much 😅

My job is basically filling and delivering all the first doses during the night; making all the IVs in the batch as well as ones that come in as stats; cleaning and restocking the IV room; restocking the IV alcove; putting together "poppers" (which are diluent bags that have a spike on the bottom of them that we put into vials of powder to make it easy for nurses to mix IV antibiotics to give to patients); making sure all the kits for anaesthesia, endocrinology, labor and delivery, the ER, the OR, and the crash trays on each floor are fully stocked and charged to the correct patients; and doing my monthly outdates. Also probably more that I'm not thinking of at the moment!

It's kind of a lot, and pretty intense and busy sometimes, but I don't mind it!

Do you mind me asking what you do?

-🪐

Holy shit that's really fucking cool and important stuff you're doing! I'm sorry the pharmacist doesn't help.

I'm glad it's working out for you though :)

I'm an HR assistant at a nonprofit that mostly runs group homes for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities, but we've got a service coordinators/case management department as well, and that's where 85% of my attention goes.

I'm super new to the HR field; all of my experience before this was general administrative assistant stuff and I've only been at this job 6 months. So I'm learning a lot and so far still almost entirely doing data entry and filing.

I fuckin love it. My boss lets me work basically entirely independently, so I can do things at my own pace in ways that make sense to me, including having d20 on as I work and fucking around on Tumblr more than I probably should lmao
