thinking abt trey!!!!!! need to talk abt trey!!!!!! ramblinf under the cut EEEEEEEEEEE

jack daniels straight from the fucking bottle LMFAOAOOA he doesnt usually go to bars

he showers like, once every two days (he doesn't leave the house very often so he's not SUPER gross) but when he does, yknow he stays cleanly. washes his face real good, he uses fuckin native body wash in the limited edition girl scout samoas scent 😭😭 he spends HELLAAAAA time on his hair tho. shampoo, conditioner, tons of serums and shit like you'd think it'd get greasy from the sheer amount of hair masks and moisturizers he uses but it's SO FUCKING SOFT. it always looks perfect because he spends LITERALLY 3 HOURS ON IT

WEED he blows like a hundred every week. no one knows how he stills has his apartment. or how he can take care of his kitty. trey's fucking goated ok TRUST

oh my god he's got a bunch i can't even like describe them all LMFAOOAA he's got a biohazard symbol right above where his pants it on his tummy, he's got a sexy clown chick with fat tits on his side, he's definitely got some kind of asking alexandria tat, and he has a bunch of shitty stick n pokes that ty and cass did for him, either bc they were drunk and it was funny or bc cass actually wanted to practice

he doesn't cry very much at all. the last time he cried was when he left his family for the last time. he got tired. he was tired of their bullshit. he misses his baby sister, vivienne. she's only 11. he's gonna take her in one day, he promises to himself.

he's technically the oldest. he doesn't talk about that much. don't ask him about it.

ok picture a pair of black converse. ok now add a couple holes in the seems and the soles and parts of the rubber falling off and a cigarette burn or two and also a pair of obliterated fucking shoelaces im talking no aglets on either side, they're stringy messes, they look like fuckin ugmmmmmmmmfmefhsejf string cheese.......... ok yeah there u go

he straight up has no bed. no box spring. it's just a kinda torn mattress in the corner of his room. there are some fatttttttt stains from where he dropped his drinks and a couple burns. he usually doesn't care to put a fitted sheet on half the time, but when he does, it's a fucking fnaf sheet. he gets super cold at night so he has like three comforters PLUS a super soft fuzzy blanket that he burritos around himself (it's a tortilla blanket) (one of the comforters is from the same fnaf as the sheet) (one of them is a hello kitty comforter) (the other one is fucking mario kart) (HE'S A LOSER)

halloween for sure!!!!! when he was younger, he'd always spend so much time coming up with his costumes. like he put in his ALL. he made his parents take him to spirit and force them to buy all the decorations he wanted them to. his favorite toy as a kid was one of those zombie babies that had a fake limb in its mouth 😭😭 the candy wasn't even his favorite part (but every halloween, he spoils himself and spends over $50 on halloween candy bc it's what he deserves)

he usually wears cargo shorts so he has extra pocket room. in his left pocket, he's got a penjamin, like $20, a mcdonalds coupon, and a red skittles flavored chapstick. in his right pocket, he's got a pack of ciggies, a hot pink lighter that says "FAGLORD" on it (he found it laying next to a dumpster on his break and snagged the fuck out of it), a dryer sheet he forgot to remove, and a pair of skullcandy earbuds. in his other pockets, he's got some other random shit. some monster tabs, a pack of smarties, several broken rubber bands, the carcass of a dead beetle, and Something Sticky

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)

Apparently Target is rethinking being anti DEI because foot traffic in their stores has been declining for like 10 weeks straight and their stock has been dropping in unison and listen, I know a lot of this is probably because consumer spending goes down in general when the economy is unstable (tarrifs, mass federal gov layoffs etc.) but I think we should just keep running boycotts of different brands to convince them that they only make money when they're woke. I know we dunked on rainbow capitalism because it was cornball and performative but I don't even give a shit. These companies shouldn't be able to be openly pro-Trump and expect us to ignore it. They should not be allowed to bend the knee to racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, abelist, generally bigoted culture war bullshit without taking a hit to their bottom line. These billionaire dipshits wanted unfettered capitalism with a madman at the helm and they should not be allowed to enable that without feeling some of the hurt along with the rest of us. Make these corporate assholes think money is stored in the woke

I love making a gag character for D&D, forgetting they’re just a gag character, and then take a step back to look at the original ref

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.
