MINTHARA IS ONLY PORTRAYED AS "EVIL" BECAUSE D&D MORALITY SYSTEM (ALIGNMENT) SUCKS

This is a hill I'll die on. She's a perfect complex, morally grey character that in other TTRPG systems would work pretty well and would not be considered even slightly despicable, and/or pretty much excusable since her actions are never without reasoning. That's it, D&D makes Minthara "evil" because of shitty aligment system. I won't elaborate further.

Discord Icon we made for a man that has INVADED OUR BRAIN... Literally. It has been YEARS since we have THOUGHT of this series. Where did he come from. Girl I am possessed by a Ghost now. He has described his own canon to me that loosely follows the actual thing. Girl help. Girl. Can anyone hear me. Hello.

Early morning thoughts

I've headcanoned Betrayus' birth name to be Trayus, and his middle name Rotundin, named after his mother.

But thinking about it now, he could've easily been named Tropos.

As in, the troposphere and stratosphere.

Stratos Spheros.

Tropos Spheros.

I mean, it's plausible only on the basis that it fits the theme and rhyme, but it would need a bit of extra lore and explaining as to how he went from Tropos to Betrayus.

My reasoning for Trayus, initially, was that it could be a good starting point for him to build the roots of his rebellion on. It also works if we bear in mind that his mother's nickname for him is Tray-Tray. He's always been known as Trayus, but at some point, he realised by chance that if he puts two simple letters in front of his name then it changes the meaning completely. He liked the new meaning. And so he used it as his new identity when he led the revolt against the nation. He's been known as a betrayer ever since.

It's not as easy to come up with similar lore for Tropos. But if I spitball it a bit, it could be something like this:

His nickname ranged between Tro, Troppy, and Tro-Tro. Tro was often the go-to, in which everyone who knew him simply called him Tro for short. Tro-Tro was an affectionate nickname from his mother, and Troppy was mostly used by Stratos as a teasing term. 'Tropos' as a full name was only ever used when he was in trouble ("Tropos Rotundin Spheros, what did I say about stealing the cookie jar?!") With time, Tro slowly grew into the maniacal character that we know him as, and part of this change was his growing disdain for his name. It wasn't the name itself that he loathed, it was his old self and the family connotations that he came to despise. His relationship with his mother grew broken and sour, and so he hated his middle name more than anything else. By the time he made the decision to revolt, he was a completely different person compared to the Tropos that everyone knew in his youth. So much so, that in a twistedly ironic way, he gleefully dubbed himself as Betrayus Sneakerous Spheros as part of his rebellion and revolt. In the changing of his identity, he decided to live up to his new name to the fullest, only keeping his last name as a cruel reminder to his family that the world would now associate the name Spheros with tyranny.

If I had to choose, I'd probably stick with Trayus. But man, missed opportunity from the creators to play around with Tropos Spheros.

Headcanon that their father was named Exo Spheros.

mi fa molto ridere questa cosa che quando guardo le tette della mia ragazza (che sono tipo bellissime) le dico sempre "madonna quanto ti starebbe bene un piercing" e lei mi risponde con "ma vai a cagare, fa un male porco ma fattelo tu"

letteralmente io, che non ha i capezzoli:

Ignus Nilsen, Homebrewing

(3sentence)

An excerpt from the introduction to Ignus Nilsen's guide to homebrewing, aiming to rework of ethos of classic board games toward a newfound outlook: "Rules," writes the great thinker, "are not dogma. They derive from society and share its burdens; in order to envision a different way of living, it behooves the players to observe the board and reconfigure the terms of their coexistence in it.

Some constants, however, need to be observed for the proper cultivation of inframaterialistic consciousness, chief among them: no girls at the gaming table."

same thing that i wrote in the tags but are these two things related.?

(after talking about the case and hitting on Klaasje:)

failed check "are women bourgeois":

Similar thing happens in the successful check scene's end ("if communism keeps failing why try")

Steban callout post he was sexist to a girl once lol

Alternately he read a lot of Ignus Nilsen but he's a feminist and it's giving him cognitive dissonance

Elysium teachers are the gift that keeps on giving (ETA context: Saron Voronikin is the world's greatest entroponaut, and he's from the SRV. Also he's called Plain. Like the western plain, presumably. Bit on the nose there)

Qual trope de romance você mais odeia? Uma que é bobinha e realmente não tem nada de ruim, mas te faz morrer por dentro.

Vamos lá:

Quando é muito sexualmente motivado, literalmente não parece ter amor e sim apenas atração sexual. E taria tudo bem, mas aí no final acontece algo que eles lutam em nome do amor deles ou vencem através do amor e não dá pra acreditar porque o desenvolvimento é inexistente.

GERALMENTE, nem sempre, casais muito divididos por ideias heteronormativas de gênero. Seja esse casal entre mulheres, homens ou het mesmo. Tipo mesmo se for a obra mais boba do mundo e isso nem ser tão sério.

Aquelas obras (em especial livro het. Não nego que tenha nos outros, mas vi rolar mas em livro het adolescente ou young adult) que ficam frisando que X é uma pessoa baixinha, mirradinha, pipipopo e Y é um ser imenso, quase explodindo a roupa de tantos músculos. Tipo ok, entendi da primeira vez!

Quando fazem praticamente só o casal principal é perfeito intocável uns anjos sem defeito. Daí o resto é gente normal ou gente MUITO forçadamente ruim em todos os esquisitos. É tipo aquele meme do vídeo da Rita Lee falando ah ela é tão boazinha!

Triângulo amoroso com resposta óbvia. É até legal quando é bem feito ou o resultado te surpreende (raro, mas tem), mas quase sempre é uma coisa óbvia feita só pra gastar tempo.

Do tipo que absolutamente todo mundo quer a mocinha ou o mocinho, mas de uma forma forçada e chata.

Etc
