One of my favorite things in GF fics is when Stan throws something Ford has said/ written about him in his face.

Like, for example, some time during their travels Stan somehow reveals that this whole time he's had this creeping thought that Ford only wants him around out of guilt or obligation. Ford is naturally taken aback by just how far from the truth it is and, more importantly, very hurt that his brother can even think that about him.

And so Stan says something along the lines of

"Am I supposed to believe that you suddenly give a shit about me now? Or is it just that I've done something worthwhile for the first time in my life? That I was useful to you?"

And Ford's immediate reaction is

"God, Stanley, why'd you even think-

-oh"

Like, the whole thing of Stan still thinking about those words that were said years ago, now when everything is fine and when Ford is actively doing everything he can to show his brother that he loves him. Meanwhile Ford never thought much about those words, never placed any importance on them and only perhaps meant them the moment when he said them, when he was angry and very tired. He didn't even really regret them because he didn't remember about them, that's how little they mattered. But they mattered to Stan, still do and haunt him every day

i know it's been said a million times by now but Neil making the FBI agents give him a to-go container before going with them to the headquarters and then pulling it out MID INTERROGATION to continue eating is so fucking unhinged. i love him so fucking much. i fully believe that was a completely intentional power move on Neil's part i doubt he was even that hungry he just wanted to be a little bitch.

I think a fair number of (able-bodied) people don’t understand that cripple is a slur. It’s a slur. It’s offensive. Physically disabled people can reclaim it *if they want to*, but they don’t have to. They can be offended by it if they want to as well. Both are valid.

Also, you can reclaim it FOR YOURSELF! You don’t just get to call other people cripples because you decided to reclaim it. That’s personal. Saying “oh, I can say that because I’m physically disabled” only applies if you’re referring to YOURSELF that way. You do not get to tell other people in your community what they should and shouldn’t be comfortable with.

The worst thing Fadel can do to Style is to let him go.

Imagine,

Fadel: I don't want to kill you

Style: * very happy and about to say some unhinged shit*

Fadel: " Leave my life. That's all I want. I can forgive you but never want to see you or be with you again"

Style: * low-key freaking out* "What do you mean by that?"

Fadel: "I mean whatever this is, is over. I don't want to see you, I don't want to be near you, I don't want to hear your voice, I don't care what you do with your life, I just want you out of mine. So get out and stay gone"

Style:*with tears actively falling from his eyes and heart shattering* " Fadel I'm sorry, I fucked up, I get that. It'll be difficult to get past, I know. But I'm in love with you and not being with you is worse than dying so please take it back. I'm begging"

Fadel: *says nothing, just gets in his car and drives away*

Style: * shouting, screaming after Fadel to no avail* "FADEL!!!!!"

Now if someone could write the fanfic or direct to me one like this, I'd appreciate it.

I think that discussions of TTRPGs would be much more productive if the advocates of moving from D&D could separate out the ideas of "WoTC is part of the massive Hasbro conglomerate which engages in the shady capitalist practices massive conglomerates do"; "D&D is not suited for every single type of story or gameplay style"; and "here's how to pick a different TTRPG that suits you needs" because as I've said many a time like 99% of them are just trying to sell you on their favorite game, which might be out of print, prohibitively expensive, something no one around you is interested in playing, or is just as bad if not worse a fit for what you want to do as D&D.

I also think said conversations would be more productive if acknowledging many people came into TTRPGs via Actual Play but would be willing to branch out if you weren't the world's most condescending dickhead towards them*; if people considered the hard truth that if you're fluent in D&D and own the materials and have a group already the pitch for Pathfinder specifically actually becomes much harder, not easier; and, as always, if people tailored their recommendations. I agree that heists or space operas or low-combat social games don't play well in D&D; they also don't play well necessarily in your favorite game that you recommend for everything that isn't magically better or more versatile just because it's from a smaller company.

Anyway the point is if you just want to whine about D&D being a dominant force be my guest but you will probably lose all but the most impressionable/desperate for the validation of strangers portion of your D&D-playing audience. If you're actually interested in changing minds and not jacking off to how much cooler and better you are be prepared to ask or answer these questions:

Is D&D genuinely a bad fit for what they want to do, or are you just an intrusive hater?

What is the person you're trying to convert interested in doing at the table? This is is a complex question that covers genre and tone; session-to-session gameplay such as combat vs. RP balance but also (for example) granularity of rules; and overall scope of the game (eg: is this something that you can play a long-term campaign in with character progression? Or is it fairly static and intended to be a few sessions at most?)

What games are accessible to them? This means within their budget (unless you advocate for pirating from small indies, which will not really help with the whole WoTC dominance situation); within what they and their table have time to learn (or, if they are looking to get into games in the first place, what they might be able to find a group for); and again, I can't believe I have to say this but I really do because I've seen it multiple times: whether the game is in print.

Have you considered gently directing them to their friendly local gaming store with answers to the second and third questions above and unleashing them upon a person who knows the gaming scene in their area and (while I've dealt with a Comic Shop Guy or two in my time) is less likely to call them a dumb bitch to their face if the answer ends up being "I'll stick with D&D"? Again, is this about them having a good time? Or is this about you?

*the best way to describe this, since I've been talking a lot about people attempting to claim the status of the systemically oppressed, is that a lot of non-D&D/non-AP fans of TTRPGs on Tumblr act like they are an oppressed class and it's like Kevin, you are a white sysadmin Monte Hall Games fanboy, you are not oppressed by the girlies making Keyleth-inspired D&D characters. You are not part of the more popular fandom and indeed dislike it; this does not make you of a lower class.

This account will be used for my music and sound art

Thank you 🙏

[buttercupshands]

Just a break from drawing something else also figuring out height for Loop that I had in my head while playing

Feat. Paper figures! Those guys are now always here

I also don't have a good place to put their first photo on a tree so here you have it.

They had a tree hangout for a minute or two now because it's dangerous to keep them like that for long

[franconianmenace]

with hetalia i just think we should give up individual shipping and let them all have an orgy call it pangea

perhaps even with explosions

Knight Commander Grenzel 'Zell' Hellsing - 10 of Swords

This piece has been so much fun to work on. I've learned a lot of new techniques and rekindled my love of illustration with this; I'm very excited to see where things go from here.

I went back and forth on doing a tarot-inspired portrait for my Knight Commander, partially because I didn't want to lean too hard on my gamer roots as a Dragon Age fan, partially because making a Tarot piece feel like it hit the mark is HARD.

Eventually I decided not to go for any one specific style and just let myself feel things out as I went, playing around with texture and composition until I landed on what looked and felt good.

As such, this turned into more than just a 10 of Swords piece, rather something that represents the full suite of Swords as well as the narrative themes that follow this particular character. Betrayal, Loss, and Anxiety paired with Clarity, Inspiration, and Ambition. Meanwhile, hidden in the background are clusters of six arrowheads representing victory within creative problem-solving. They look something like trees among winding riverbeds or nature trails- a reminder of his nomadic lifestyle and formative times in the River Kingdoms.

The scarlet halo suffused with blue light, and the blue cloth stained with blood, represent the constantly warring nature of his ancestries as a Dhampir and a Celestial. Heaven's light draws him, but also burns him, as represented by Lariel's flaming blade. Desna's butterflies remind his desire for freedom and secretly dreamy, romantic nature.

I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do! Now to find somewhere I can get this printed onto a blanket or something.

Since you mentioned pre-loop alters last ask I have two questions :3

Would Siffrin have any introjects of characters from his favorite plays? Since he loves theater and stuff.

And secondly is Siffrin the original host, or did be become the host at a different point? I’ve always like to head cannon that Siffrin became the host after the island was erased and the system woke up un Vaugarde. So I’d love to hear your thoughts :3

Oh yeah introjects of fictitious characters is absolutely a thing that makes sense with the Siffrin system. We know Siffrin can enjoy comedy plays because of a line in the House Library: "You gently touch the back of a Vaugardian comedy you remember liking." (I also find it interesting that Siffrin likes Poetrian plays more than Vauguardian plays, but that's unrelated) so maybe at least one alter came from comedies?

And also that's an interesting idea of "Siffrin became host only after appearing in Vauguard" and that fits very well with what I have planned for that other alter so I may just steal that detail from you......

AFK JOURNEY - HUH... SOME SHIP HIM WITH... HIM...

I do expect some people would ship Ravion and Indris... Because it was as if hinting in some places in Sal'Thorin (side quests n some nobles talking about them)...

Well... For my take... I thought of shipping Indris with... Parisa... The dynamic of two gentle Elves together are just... Lovely, you know... And both of them seem to be... "Broken" in my eyes... They could support one another in the ups and downs of their lives...

And both of them are willing to protect their homeland and fight against corruption !

. . .

Note: Indris is The Captain of the Sal'Thorin guard while Parisa is The Former Captain of the Thorned Guard Faction... Isn't that already befitting for them to be a couple..? They could exchange strategies to protect their Homeland... Really...

. . .

Note: Husband and Wife... Eheheee

. . .

Well... I guess the dev probably won't show us when the Essail clan got up to the surface...

So, yeahhh, Lemme be in my dream space for this ship troupe (Indris n Parisa)... and others are all aboard if wanting to join me... Eheheee
