There are a few fanfics where Loop goes back to their loops after alls said and done in ISAT and imma be real y'all, if that was me? Fucking carnage. I would DESTROY the king like holy shit. Kill murder death and glory cause oh god oh fuck. I don't think Loop would survive that tbh, I wouldn't! How do you even deal with that??? For them it's been two days! It was two days. Oh god.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys, the urge to do the same thing I did with the oitd silhouettes, aka slap text posts onto the art with no knowledge of their canon personality other than what they did in the trailer and pulling from the fandom's perceived personality for them, for the new oxventure characters revealed in that trailer is so real

Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.

I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.

I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.

It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.

The new trailer has injected hype straight into my veins (rip everyone who is tired of Varric narrating trailers feat. Solas, but I'm a sucker for both) and the art is just gorgeous as always so I took screencaps - figured I'd share in case anyone else wanted them!

[nostalgia-tblr]

i like when i see someone somewhere saying "does anyone else think mobius and ravonna had a vibe?" because YES THEY DO HAVE A VIBE I DID NOT JUST INVENT THAT IT'S DEFINITELY A TRUE CANONICAL FACT THAT THEY SECRETLY YEARN FOR EACH OTHER AND/OR THAT THEY SEMI-ACCIDENTALLY KISSED AT SOME POINT.

they had a vibe!!!!!!

I call it: unintentional Budweiser and Malboro advertising shot in a Blade Runner like style and how Ryder likes it to be.

Coldly.

Maliciously.

This was something I drew months ago as a sort of companion piece to my Squirrelcrow Pierre & Natasha animatic! I still kinda want to do the whole song lmao, maybe I'll get to it as a summer project eventually.

OK but I will always never understand "playersexual" criticisms in video game romances. Maybe it's because I'm both bi and gender funky flavours of queer but most video game worlds don't share our perceptions of sexuality and gender also who really fucking cares, if I want to romance my blorbo I should be allowed to regardless of gender ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[amischiefofmuses]

My sister gave me access to her amazon prime, so I can finally fully gif/icon the episodes and OH MY GOD I never noticed Niffty playing with Keekee when Sir Pentious originally arrives. That's so fucking cute.
