#the abyss d&d

[dhampiravidi]

hot take/a theory: Stranger Things

ok so, starting off by saying that I've never watched the show, but I know pretty much all the lore (the characters, the stuff in the Upside Down, what psychic powers are canon, etc.). I've also recently gotten into D&D, by reading a bunch of the Forgotten Realms wiki & even making my own characters using DNDBeyond. so I have a theory.

the Upside Down is some part of Toril--either the Underdark (because Mind Flayers) OR the Abyss (because of how it looks; namely the fact that it's a copy of Hawkins & yet filled with otherworldly shit)...maybe the experiments fucked with reality, either making Dungeons & Dragons real in some sense, or by simply making it easier for people (especially those with psychic-related abilities) to access Toril. if you look it up, the Forgotten Realms wiki actually mentions Earth as a planet/realm separate from the one the game is typically set on (Toril), to the point where a person from Earth was said to have seen beings from Toril cross over into our world and back again.

Sorry if someone's already posited this. I just got excited and wanted to share...

Swear Words By Fantasy Language

Common: hit your thumb really hard and see!

Dwarvish: Dwarves don’t have any swear words. Rather, a Dwarf must show their craftsmanship by combining non-swear words in a vulgar way. You’ve not been truly offended until a dwarf calls you a house-painting-horse-bargainer.

Elves: Elvish has exactly one swear word, and each elf can only use it once in their life. If uttered it kills all plant life in 300ft and everything capable of hearing must make a wisdom saving throw or disintegrate on the spot.

Giant: Giant contains such swearwords as “double fuck”, which is like normal fuck but twice as big.

Gnomish: Gnomish uses things like “tax returns” and “fiscal responsibility” as swear words. Mentioning your accountant will have you thrown out of respectable gnomish society

Goblin: Honestly, it’s easier to list the words in goblin that aren’t swear words.

Halfling: Halfling has incredibly harsh swear words, to the surprise of everyone when this pastoral little man toddling around a farm and eating muffins calls you a motherfucking shithead cockface

Draconic: Draconic swear words translate to things like “gosh darn it” and “oh heckers” but, to be fair, they come off as more serious when roared at you while you’re on fire.

Orcish: Orcish contains no swear words. Don’t assume based on stereotypes.

still thinking about this lady’s solemn, stoic approach to committing acts of lesbianism.

[pebblerosegamer]

was thinking bout xero, and what his failed attempt would mean for these two, which is mostly distress as i expected! have this mini messy comic i made during my wondering.

my hornet- in her younger years feared death a lot so she'd be quiTE wORRiEd and my pk has experienced a similar dread, so who else better to both worry with her and snap her out of it! (and continuing worrying, ignoring his own advice.)

and if you are wondering! pk is holding his half of the kingsoul :D

now have a littol behind the scenes (or techinically behind the text bubbles)

Your bio says you can be bribed with lux, but what about 13 postcards I found randomly? Would you take those?

..THIRTEEN????

[burrowingdweller]

I still think it is so ingeniously of me to come up with this

[dnd-smash-pass-vs]

Jubilex, Lord of Ooze. Makes slime, summons slime, controls all slime, and is an incredibly corrosive slime constantly expelling poison. Can also restrain, of course. Here's a fun fact, despite what everyone seems to think, Jubilex is one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent creatures in existence. He knows the true names of the eldritch gods and thier goals, the true nature of the Abyss, and when desired can move with near unrivalled strategy. Creatures that even demon lords dare not speak in the presence of, and Juiblex reads them easily. None of that matters because he has 0 desire to use any of that. He hates politics and conversation and pretty much anyone that isn't a slime. Has no need for the power, he's happy to just roam his half of a domain and chuckle as he eats things. Just him and the oozes that feel happy just from being around him. He's older than any god or eldritch horror because he's stayed out of every conflict, just chilling with his slime friends. If you managed to pull this off...I mean, you'll be a legend just from getting him to like you enough, let alone if you survive.

old au has come back to haunt me + some random scrlmis

Had this lil comic idea since the trailer dropped, and finally got around to finishing it

hehehehe, I know Khaji is a lot more tame in the movie, but I wish I could see Jaime call Khaji-Da a xenomorph (derogatory). Cool weapons or not, that kind of thing scars someone.

Look at me being fancy, using the text tool for once instead of hand-writing it. It's actually readable for once.

"Out of the Abyss" is going... well we met HIM - the chungus himself, Themberchaud, so it's definitely going somewhere. He strong-armed our 'lil guys into working for him, gave us pins with his face on them, and sent us on our merry way. Bart, my Kenku warlock is just feeling like he's going to get in trouble like he did with the Zhentarim... again.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus is a grave cleric and Gideon Nav is an Oath of Devotion paladin and they make out sloppy style about it when debating faith

[minniiaa]

That's when I realized I'd had it coming all along.

I'd deceived those gullible bastards, but that wasn't what I was being punished for really.

It was for deceiving myself into thinking someone needed me.

What else did I expect?

That's what comes of looking at the world through a veil.

[helloxviolet]

What are they cooking up?

[marzipanandminutiae]

my friend's two-year-old son cannot manage my name, and calls me Ken instead

(not sure where he got this- he calls at least one Julia "Drac," so it's not necessarily related to the person's actual name)

She's Just Ken I guess

[goldenvulpine]

the reason why shonen and the best fictions rarely kill your favorite characters for good isn’t because they want to see him happy

it’s because the writers want to make him suffer more.

freaks.
