*MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD*

Away from the shipping angle, I believe Damian and Melinda like Anya and Yor because they see two people who are free to be themselves.

Yes, this is ironic given the Forgers are theoretically a 'fake' family and Yor and Twilight seem to suffer bouts of imposter syndrome every now and then.

But what Damian and Melinda see in the Forgers is also very much real. Neither Anya or Yor entirely have filters on. And neither care that Damian and Melinda are Desmonds and that they need to be deferential to. Nope. Anya and Yor are allowed to be who they are, while Damian and Melinda are constrained in their lives by who they are.

The thing with the Campbelldon Tennis Arc is...

Mr Lying-Is-Second-Nature/ Can-Lie-His-Way-Out-Of-Anything Twilight isn't really lying to Yor through that whole thing.

He indeed had a tennis tournament for work with colleagues

He indeed was not trying to run away with Fiona. She is actually just a colleague and he does not feel that way about her.

And of course, everything that he said on that park bench that night.

Arguably, by the end of that arc, he was really only lying to himself.

Yor: it’s amazing how Loid always looks so calm and composed.

Yor: I wonder how he does it?

Loid, internally: fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck-

Okay so I just saw the new Dungeons and Dragons movie

gotta say from the moment they went with the "let's dive out the window onto the Aarakocra" plan even as the council was like "WE PARDONED YOU" I knew it would be great because that is the exact kind of stupidity a D&D party would get up to

[thedeviantpariah]

One thing I noticed after my second watching of DND: Honor Among Thieves:(Spoilers btw)

When the party is in the Underdark, Holga and Edgin are the only ones that carry lanterns, possibly a nod to both them being humans and not possessing Dark Vision like the rest of the party.

I am happy to report that the D&D movie is:

1. Fun

2. Funny

3. Well-written, with an actual *plot*

4. Well-acted

5. Pretty; both the sets and CGI are believable, if not 100% realistic, which works fine with the tone of the movie

6. Clearly created by people who actually enjoy the genre

Will I ever recover from Xemnas saying to be human must take incredible strength? No. No I will not.

Yor : *treating Anya's wound*

Yor : You know, Anya, my mother once taught me to kiss a wound so it will heal faster ^^

Loid : /overhears/

Loid :

Loid : Frankie.

Loid : I want you to punch me in the face. As hard as you can.

Frankie : Say no more, bish.

My favorite part of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is that if you don't play DnD, it's a solid fantasy movie, but if you DO play DnD, you can feel in your soul the table talk that's almost certainly happening over the events of the movie. Like...

"Are you guys sure you don't want to take a perception check?"

"I said we jump out the window."

or

"And he turns and walks directly northwards away from you guys."

"The map shows a rock-"

"HE WALKS OVER THE ROCK."

or

"Fuck it, I throw a potato."

"Okay... roll for potato, I guess."

"That was a 20."

or

"I know we won, but I have bonus actions and I'm going to use them, damn it."

Specifically D&D™️ things about that new movie that I enjoyed very much

The entire party having low intelligence/wisdom bc let’s be real who doesn’t have either one of those as their dump stat

Receiving a magic item from the DM -> forgetting about it -> a party member going WAIT DONT WE HAVE THAT -> everyone using the shit out of the magic item and completely wrecking the DM’s plans

Travelling between locations that are geographically days/weeks away takes <5 minutes because the DM doesn’t want to do random encounters + the party doesn’t have a ranger who needs to feel useful by tracking

No healer + no rogue/ranger = everyone is constantly exhausted and has no idea of the traps/monsters in their surroundings ever

Druid being the most OP member of the party

The DM’s friend/sibling coming over to play their high level paladin from another campaign for an afternoon and then just noping out

The DM planning an elaborate battle arena with multiple well thought out stages and the players immediately find a way to circumvent it
