#he loves shadow too they are worsties

[pomdor]

when your whole arc is learning patience and empathy so you come out the other side of your harrowing adventure irreversibly changes but undeniably more mature and more able to not only recognise the skills and brilliance of the people around you but able to express love and appreciation for who they are.

anyway blue loves his family and also is probably rife with trauma.

Group H, Round 3, Poll 4:

Propaganda under the cut

Nadja of Antipaxos

Gaslights her fellow vampires when she knows she's wrong, gatekeeps info from familiar Guillermo, girlbosses by running her own doomed nightclub

She is the Girlboss, but also Girlloser of the show. Turned her own husband into a vampire (taking charge in a male-dominated field!) And further, in Season 3 she came out on top when her and Nandor were fighting over who would truly lead the Vampiric Council. Opened her own Vampire Nightclub! (Which she embezzled to death but shhh!) As for Gatekeep, she definitely gatekeeps both vampirism (Guillermo) and her friendship (The Guide). Does hypnosis count as Gaslight? I'm gonna count it in because she does hypnotize a lot of people. I could go on and on, but anyways Nadja is an icon and a queen and I love her.

Ianthe Tridentarius

She is trying so hard to be the main character by lying and manipulating her sister, her cavalier, her mentor, her ?love interests? (Spoiler???) And also god. Not sure how it's working out for her but she does love to lie and manipulate

Worstie Ianthe is the DEFINITION of gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. She is one of a set of necromancer twins that are the heirs to their houses rule. Except wait, only she is a necromancer and she has spent their entire lives doing necromancy for the both of them. She is constantly mean to their cavalier, Naberius, who she occasionally nibbles on like a chew toy, before eventually killing and eating him to ascend to sainthood. She goes to gods spaceship with another woman who ascended to sainthood who she has a crush on, this other woman is like…. Both incredibly mentally unwell and also haunted by at least 211 ghosts. Ianthes method of flirting with her? Gaslighting her about the corpse that keeps moving around and hiding under her bed. For no real reason tbh. She is clearly plotting to overthrow god, and at the moment that consists of her manipulating him while he’s too sad about his long term partners betraying him and subsequently exploding to really care. She dresses in terrible outfits and makes soup by burning onions to the bottom of a pot, putting meat in and some vegetables and then it doesn’t taste like anything so she puts in a few teaspoons of salt so it tastes like a few teaspoons of salt. She had her crush amputate her arm and regrow her a new one out of bone and it’s one of the horniest things I’ve read in my life.

"Gaslight = told her lobotomized (she helped), schizophrenic girlobsession that there was no corpse under their bed, even tho there totally was. Gatekeep = girl did NOT share the secret to god-like ascension. She kept that shit to herself until it was time to eat her boytoy, and by then everyone knew already. Girlboss = she has a non-necromancer twin sister, and literally Everyone thinks they r both necromancers because Ianthe is so good at it. She reverse engineered ascending to the aforementioned ascension without even completing any of the supplementary tasks. She held her own in a fight against a 10k year old lyctor. She becomes the figurehead of her entire empire. "

She uses a man as a chewtoy in the first book, literally gaslights the protagonist of the second book about a corpse, and elder-abuses God when he gets depressed in the third book. Nobody is doing it like her.

Dives headfirst with no regrets while basically laughing and covered in blood into murdering her cavalier once she realizes what the gothic locked room mystery/competition leads to while everyone else is questioning it, helps perform lobotomy on harrow so she doesn't remember the person she loves, manipulates everyone to get to the top

idk just everything about her

her relationship with her sister is incredibly Bad, she fosters codependency and views Corona(the sister) as an extension of herself. This does not stop her from keeping up the con that Corona actually has magic (She doesn't, it was always just Ianthe) for 22ish years and every single person who interacts with them falls for it. She killed a man against his will (most dying for this purpose specifically go willingly) and she consumed him and she will be burning his soul for eternity. She's completely repulsive and still somehow incredibly hot.

she takes advantage of the fact that the main character is prone to hallucinations. at one point she gaslights the mc into believing that the corpse under her bed isn't real just because she can. she reverse engineered a set of very complex trials on her own without anyone realizing she had the skills to complete them normally. she's also babysat god through his drunk and pathetic era.

b for the oc meme !!!! MISS YOU AJ! i hope you're doing well <3

HI I MISSED YOU TOO LITERALLY SO MUCH 🥺

bruce calhoun - dbd - i am.......... normal about him! i am not freaking out about getting to talk about him. anyway. gotta give some backstory for this to make Sense but this was originally just an au for jen's Actual Ex Bruce bc i was really into the aspect of him being taken by the entity and having to face his childhood nightmare (aka danny johnson) but then i was like...... what if he WASN'T jen's bruce bc y'know. dbd is canonically a multiverse and the dynamic of him looking at her and seeing the love of his life and her looking at him and seeing the man she hates more than anything was genooinely insane to me. THE ICING ON THE CAKE? bhvr putting out a short story about a waitress in the leadup to all things wicked and giving me the ULTIMATE excuse to go full crazy. so with all THAT out of the way let me actually get into it!

bruce was the son of bruce calhoun sr., one of danny's victims in 1993, and that has definitely affected how he goes through life. he is highly paranoid about Everything... and at the same time, deeply obsessed with what horrors lurk in the shadows. he eventually channeled his trauma into a love for creative writing and attended film school (screenwriting major) where he met his long-time girlfriend, evie laurent (his terra's jen; she never lost her parents so she had a much, much different life and is generally a lot happier). things were going great for them! until they weren't bc it turns out evie is very attuned to the realm and what's happening to her other self. without saying too much bc i've got Plans to go more in depth about it, this leads to her sudden disappearance after a shift at work and bruce is sent into an absolute spiral trying to figure out what happened. thirteen weeks after she goes missing, he's taken by the entity for fun times in the realm. fun times include getting punched by jen bc she doesn't realize he's a different person and coming face to mask with danny for the first time in eighteen years. his worstie and his worst Nightmare!

[kriskross]

personally i would love to know about your dnd ocs

I'm obsessed w u.... ok so rn there are 5 dnd ocs that live in my brain but I have more they're just kinda dormant/I haven't solidified their designs yet. There's a lot (though I tried to be brief) so I'm putting it under a read more

Clementine Waitrose (redemption paladin) is my main guy rn I like them sm... their name isn't actually clementine but I can't say what it rlly is because the other players for this campaign follow me lol BUT they used to be a "knight" (if you could call it that)! It was their childhood dream to be captain but after they actually got to do that they soon grew to hate it, choosing instead to leave their position to pursue domesticity! But now they're adventuring because they have a few promises they left unfulfilled. They have a lot of lore I can't say outright

Tanis Skorzeni (shadow sorcerer). He sucks. I love him and I am shaking him around because I think he needs it. He wasn't always magic but he went caving one day, blacked out and woke up outside the cave with magic. Ran away from home when he was 13 because he was tired of the stress his dad caused him and found work playing piano in taverns and whatnot! He's 26 now and he's engaged :] his fiancée is ill though and the town clerics are too expensive so he's journeying to find money or a cure! Ended up in barovia though and can't get out. Also Strahd likes him a bit too much

Erebus Jiendia (eldritch knight)... they live in Icewind Dale, which has been experiencing winter for 2 years now and it SUCKS BAD. They come from a long line of wealthy artisans, so they're also a part of that, but they put down their pottery business for a while to go kill a God about this winter. They're very very angry also about something else I can't say and ending the winter seems like a productive outlet for that. They're the one that wears a mask they don't take off. Not because they can't but just because they don't want to. They're very nice though to their loved ones, including their worstie (not-so-secret best friend) Aster, who's another party member

Gale Kari (wild magic sorcerer) bimbo of my heart amen 🙏 ❤️. She was looking to reconnect w her bio parents a while back just out of curiosity, fell in love with someone named Jaz, decided that finding their bio parents wasn't that urgent, and settled down in a small town... Jaz went missing one day though and Gale has been waiting for xem ever since. She got tired of waiting in place though and is now out actively looking... but also trying to have fun about it as much as she can. To stay optimistic

Deus (aberrant mind sorcerer). Also came from a wealthy family but she got all up in her head about it. I'm sorry they would be into NFTs if they knew about them. I'm sorry. I'm sorry it's all a part of a planned character arc. I promise. He kinda sucks... he's stuck up, rude, and wouldn't be caught dead in anything less than a 4 star hotel. They're going through it though. They were warned but didn't care and now everything's happened all at once and they're trying to make sense of it all and maybe one day they'll realize that they need to want to be a better person or something idk (I do know. They will.)
