the scientist

i am the observer, the scientist, the astrologist. 

how strange to study something so far away.

they tell me that the matter of the planets i study runs through my veins with my blood.

how strange to study what i apparently am.

but i do not think it is that star-filled blood that runs through me.

the heavenly bodies i study are nothing like my own.

i cannot see through their eyes, cannot understand how they exist, cannot understand anything they seem to do.

and so i am confined to research, to observe their behavior.

become the student of that which i cannot understand.

become the student of that which everyone knows.

become the student of that which everyone is.

except me, i think.

forever the scientist to these planets and stars that i cannot understand. 

i do love my job, though. 

the brilliance of the stars, the beauty of the moon. the vastness of seeing that blue planet from outside of it. 

it’s impossible to describe. but it brings a brightness to my eyes, a haste to my pen. 

i don’t think i will ever stop watching.

Are there any popular DMs you're inspired by?

Oh yes!!! DnD podcasts were my gateway to paying (though I knew of its existence and wanted to get into it long before, I just didn't know how). I'd have to say my biggest influences on DMing are Griffin McElroy and Matthew Mercer. Also, Haley and Gus from Unprepared Casters are super inspiring too, and I have a feeling will provide the balance I need between TAZ and Critical Role in terms of energy and techniques.

(major tw for su!cidal thoughts, particularly talk of martyr complexes)

Apotheosize:

To become like a god,

To become idolized.

The stories slipped their ideals into

My mind,

That before apotheosis must

First come death.

That to die young

To die tragically

To die for a cause

Was to become a hero.

A saint. 

A figure of some importance.

That’s what I wanted really.

They say attention-seeking 

As if to dismiss the thoughts,

But to some extent it’s true.

I wanted to be known.

Not entirely selfishly, 

I wanted to die for a cause,

To die to be a cause

For something.

I think I wanted to die to live

Because I felt like I was living to die.

A death at the proper due time

Just seems like the waste of a life,

A waste of an opportunity. 

But an unjust death, a too-early death

A death you can use.

That would be a death worth dying, I thought.

To die to live on.

To die to become more than mortal.

To die to become immortal.

To apotheosize.

“do you…” i say. “do you think this is forever?”

“no,” she says. “no, i don’t think so.”

“how do you know?”

“i don’t but it must be true.”

a silence like the beat of a heart. 

“one day you will laugh again.

maybe the day is not today, but it will be soon.

because it must.”

Are you DM out of choice or necessity?

A bit of both, really. I never would have stepped into the role if it didn't interest me, but I did start because I wanted to play but didn't have any party to join. The first one shot I ran was for my family, who I forced into playing on a family vacation (they had fun). I've done a few other one shots since then and am going to be running a level 1-3 campaign out of Explorer's Guide to Wildemount for a group I'm a part of once we finish the game of Lost Mine of Phandelver one of my DMs is running while he's prepping for a longer campaign. I also want to run a full campaign at some point when the pandemic is over and I can do cool in person props and things.

[hellebore-petall]

Do you prefer running social encounters or combat?

Social encounters!!! For some reason, I have to put all my concentration to stay focused in combat in anything, including books and movies, so social encounters come more naturally and are more relaxing to me. Plus, characters and character development is the true core of why I love D&D, so I love to see what my players do with the people I throw at them.
