I think we should try for Dashcon 2. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

Whumpy potential of Aasimars

I was recently watching a video discussing how aasimars are approached in DnD, their abilities, origins and so on and how some problems could be fixed. For those who don't know, Aasimars are race of angelic aesthetic and are playable in Dungeons and Dragons.

In the video I was watching it was said that in a way "Aasimars are opposite of Tieflings". And since Tieflings are often considered evil by nature + dangerous +unwanted, it would mean that Aasimars are considered good and welcomed? Well, yeah, but it gave me whumpy ideas.

What if people welcome Aasimars because they are expecting "good guys who are helping us with our problems"?

I mean it's a good thing, right? People like them, so it's nice? But what if Aasimar can't take three steps without being asked to help someone with something? What if no one ever bothers to pay them back?

What if refusal to take care of someone's else business is considered rude and Aasimar person asking for help can do total 180° and start insulting one they hoped to get something from? What if any attempt of establishing boundary is considered as betrayal even if you just meet? What if Aasimar who is not helping everyone is called 'fake"? Think fantasy equivalent of "if you really liked art you would draw this for me for free"

What if people demand that Aasimar help them even with stuff that are against Aasimar's personal values? (Like: help me take revenge on this person or make this couple break off so I can steal my crush) What if people demand Aasimars to do the impossible and get mad when they don't get what they want?

What if body parts (hair, feathers etc.) of Aasimars are told to bring blessing? What if everyone tries to get their hands on some of them? Sure, cutting few of your hair doesn't hurt, but how many of them can you give before you go bald? What if some people don't ask and just rip off feathers out of wings?What if some are kept captive so their Masters can sell fragments of them?

(Speaking of which, wing whump)

What is Aasimars glow faintly and can't really hide? Really bad if Whumper is looking for them.

This also could be a starting point for backstory of many playable characters. Some could try to disguise themself to not be bothered, other could live away from all civilization, some joining a temple so charity time would be regulated from the top, some turning away from people and refusing to help anyone at all, some just accepting their fate and trying to please everyone (and doing surprise pikachu face when their party cares about their well-being)?

Aasimars are apparently one of least popular races to play and I think we could help it if we added some angst in worldbuilding

Here's an idea - What if they compile all the footage from today's light projects (and other shows) and make a music video for "the greatest"

It would literally make so much sense!!!!!!!

OMG ANON THIS IS A GENIUS IDEA

FANDOM UNITE! LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!

✨ My Rick and Morty season 6 wishlist: ✨

Elon Musk shows up again and gets a whole episode dedicated to himself

Rick looks directly at the camera and says "Birdrick is platonic!!!"

Rick actually says "I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right" in the show

One episode is just a twenty-minute YouTube video called "The DECLINE and SHITIFICATION of Rick and Morty"

Pickle Rick again, but instead of the deconstruction of Rick and Beth's characters, Rick rambles about how he should be allowed to use the word "retarded" for five minutes

One episode is just a clip show of every "anti-PC" moment from season 1

The "My man!" guy who became a meme shows up again for no reason

The dog from season 1 reappears and says "Where are my testicles, Summer?", triggering a laugh track

Morty jumps on the counter at McDonald's and screams "PICKLE RICK!!" at the terrified employees until they give him a barbecue sauce packet

A return to the Gazorpazorp planet where Rick rolls around on the ground for 20 minutes yelling about how womenfolk are dumb

Another Elon Musk episode where Rick starts working for Tesla and says "Wow, E, I've been wrong about capitalism all along! This is great! You're basically the real-life me!"

Rick unironically gets into the NFT business

A crossover episode with that nasty Mr. Pickles show called "Pickle Rick"

Family Guy crossover

Yet another Elon Musk episode where Rick tours his companies' facilities and high-fives him every few seconds with a song by Grimes and Kanye West at the end

An episode where Rick makes a bunch of meta jokes at the start about how this is going to be a mind-blowing episode that forever changes the Rick and Morty universe, but the actual episode is just 20 minutes of him crying quietly to himself in a dark room

Futurama crossover where the characters all beat each other to death

"Wubba lubba dub dub!"

I will work hard so that I can attend the Blue Dragon Film Awards not as an award presenter but as an award nominee the next time.

Amy Dallon hated Tár

amy dallon hated tar because she saw too much of herself in tar. she sees the inflated self-importance. she sees the shallowness. she sees the hidden specter in every frame. amy and cinema have the same power: to resurrect ghosts. lydia's former protege haunts the interstices of the film much in the same way the wretch haunts amy.

Calling all Off Menu and Taron Egerton fans: let's try bringing these two worlds together, please.

The man is a follower of both the podcast's account and Ed's personal one, and Ed rarely fails to like Taron's posts. It's just a marriage waiting to happen, really.

Taron's first on-screen project in three years is finally coming out in a month's time, and we all know how good the Off Menu boys are at doing promo for topical releases—books, movies, comedy shows, TV series and the like. Wouldn't it be amazing if one of the pieces of promo Taron does was an hour-long episode of Off Menu, finally revealing his dream meal and getting roasted/thrown in the Thames by James Acaster when he inevitably picks a cheese platter for dessert?

If the idea titillates you, please join me in (gently and very politely) spamming the @offmenuofficial account on IG, and why not, maybe also @edgamblecomedy. Let's do it, folks.

So I agree that real people can't queerbait, but what's the word for the Misha Collins bi-not bi debacle?

I nominate queeroopsing.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’

this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry
