"Build Your Character Like A Ninja Turtle" Random Tables

So, Friend of the blog Trent Troop, AKA @therobotmonster came up with a great concept called "Build Your Character Like A Ninja Turtle," with the idea of building a character via a combination of "Species/Type + Job/Skill + Schtick"

So, naturally I had to make some random D20 tables for doing that process, trying to go a bit broad and open-ended with it for maximum fun! Along with an optional bonus one to fit with Trent;'s toyetic aesthetics.

Roll once on each table to do the basic process or, for added fun, roll twice and try to combine the two results on each you roll up in an interesting way! (Re-rolling if you get doubles obvz)

You can try it for yourself here: https://stephkennedy.dev/experiments/parakeet_poet_v2/

Poems are generated on pageload, so if you don’t like what you get, just reload.

Added:

Real stanzas. Previous versions approximated them by inserting random blank spaces.

Chorus generation. Uses the modulus operator to determine how frequently to use the chorus (or if one is used at all)

Title generation

Better html markup and css styles to ensure phones don’t have to scroll sideways to read long lines or lines with a lot of whitespace.

Restructured code to allow for easier updates of the library used to generate the poems

A random poem for you:

Watched the horrible minecraft movie trailer </3 My friends and I decided to make this stupid thing while suffering Bingo to find out how bad that movie is actually going to be

@a-witch-in-a-dumpster thank you for half the ideas <3

bcuz i’m curious:

any phone number that you could rattle off without looking counts here

reblog with your age/generation bcuz i’m curious if it’s still common practice for younger people to memorize phone numbers

[goldensunset]

people who go through the main tags of big and tumultuous fandoms looking for new fresh good posts to reblog are essential to any circle. they’re like true hunter gatherers leaving the safety of settlement and braving the unknown wilderness to find food for the flock. they risk their lives every day and will come back with a few scratches at best and severe psychological damage at worst

The ninth doctor was so insane fr he was like I watched my planet get destroyed and I can't share this trauma with anyone. I will fix this by befriending a human girl and taking her to see her planet get destroyed. This is normal behaviour.

i know im not the first person to say this, but i think generative AI should be permanently rolled back to when it sucked ass. like when people were typing in "bloodborne mcdonalds" and laughing at the spaghetti of black and red that vaguely resembled what a snapshot of a dream about a bloodborne mcdonalds might have looked like.

what prompted this thought was a file i just found from 2021, when i was fucking around with those early, mumbly fucked up AI voices, and thought "man. if only we had known."

also because i had 0 recollection of writing this and it caught me way the fuck off guard. (transcript under the cut)

I am engaging high level online discourse with Minecraft YouTuber stans in a hyper-realistic holodeck, and in response to a point I made someone said I "looked like a proshipper," so I had to end the simulation because I lost the rhetorical scrim so hard that i almost started day-drinking.

Hot take: Bluey became such a massive hit because it's one of the few currently-running TV shows where parents and children are both treated as valuable people with rich inner lives.

After the death of the family sitcom, most shows are either: 1) aimed at children and show the parents as idiots who get in the way of the children's plans; 2) aimed at adults and show only childless single people; or (rarely) 3) family sitcoms where the parents and children are horrible people who hate their lives and yell a lot. So a show that portrays the children and the parents as people with interesting personalities who are doing their best and like spending time with each other filled a gap in the culture and people went crazy for it.
