God it feels like forever since I posted any art (because it HAS been)! I've been busy but hopefully I'll be getting more me-time so I can draw more TTRPG related things :Jc

Anyway, I know I promised Rahadin as the next designed NPC--he's next I promise--but we finally arrived in Vallaki and Saverio made quick friends with a very sophisticated man he met and I just had to draw him. Our Vallaki has a Victorian vibe to it, and my DM based him off of Gary Oldman Dracula so I went along that line of thought while also adding a little bit of Gankutsuou inspiration because it felt right.

Sav thinks he's so cool~ I, on the other hand, am suspicious as Hell... (No spoilers please 💕)

there's a lot of things to love about the pjo series, and I do love all of it, however. in this third episode, watching the pegasus (pegasi?) just hanging around and existing? inexplicable childlike wonder.

a somewhat niche mcyt phenomena i absolutely love is when a cc who only really does a very specific type of gameplay plays the normal vanilla game and becomes absolutely enchanted with everything they discover, like mogswamp on the sos smp and rtgame with his let’s play. there’s so much negativity about minecraft’s updates and developmental choices that it’s so nice to be able to watch someone fall completely in love with just the base game all over again

Aging rockstar Eddie Munson who goes viral on tiktok after dueting a fancam of him and Stevie that is backed by the bi wife energy audio.

It's shaky, clearly a spur of the moment response, Eddie is obviously captivated for a second by a clip of Stevie that starts to play. He sighs and directs his attention back to the audience. "I love my beautiful wife, the sun to my moon, the light of my life."

You can just make out another voice from somewhere in the background call out, "Love you too!"

"But I did not survive being an openly gay teenager in the 1980s in rural Indiana to be called a heterosexual!" 

He zooms in closer to his face, it's unclear whether this was intentional, "I did not go through a sexuality crisis in the early 90s when she transitioned, to be called a heterosexual."

Stevie comes out from somewhere behind where Eddie is ranting to drape herself around his shoulders, "Oh that's a good picture of us." The original video is a step above thirst trap and the picture in question is a pap shot of Stevie and Eddie from a long past Halloween. Stevie is in the famous Farrah onepiece and Eddie is in first husband Lee Majors' Six Million Dollar Man red tracksuit.

"You just like it cause we actually ran into Farrah and she liked your hair."

"It was also-"

She isn't dislodged as Eddie fails, well practiced at staying on her perch. "I didn't cancel the back half of our 1995 tour because of morning sickness to get called a HETEROSEXUAL!"

Stevie's smile is indulgent and soft, it wrinkles the corners of her eyes in soft crows feet that betray her age. "You can be trans and straight."

"A fucking ally then!"

She's got a sage Mona Lisa smile as the video ticks to a close, "I love my husband, and he's actually bi."

[ID : a chubby skywing dragon named Pyrite, who has yellowish-orange scales with a lighter yellow underbelly and dark freckles across her scales, resembling the inside of a peach. she has a crest of dark spines along the back of her neck and on the tip of her tail, antler-like horns, her body is dappled with scars, and she wears a cord around her neck like a choker. she is sitting down, facing towards the left, with her wings held open and an uncertain expression on her face. the background is a teal rectangle with white peach blossoms overlayed on top of it. END ID]

justice for long live, she did not deserve to be cut from the setlist. there were so many opportunities to cut another song (WANEGBT/trouble mashup or cut, betty, mtr, wildest dreams or bad blood, mastermind) that she did not take and instead brought speak now back to one pity song. especially when long live is arguably one of the most valuable contributions to the tour setlist
