you ever love a story so much that you just want to burn your house down? 

[jakey-beefed-it]

Since people really seemed to like the saga of Olaf Olafson, I’m gonna tell you guys about one of my own characters, Brenan the Punch Wizard.

My friend was running a Dragonlance game back in college, and I jumped at the chance to not have to DM for once. I ended up rolling up a Neutral Good farmboy mage whose proclivity for magic was discovered relatively late (like… late teens) and so compared to the other wizards he was a total hayseed who knew fuckall about the theory of magic. His familiar was an his old farm dog ffs. An Australian Shepherd with a red neckercheif.

Well, he passed his test and became a White Robes mage (as you do when you’re not a shithead) and started going on more frequent adventures. Brenan quickly established himself as a pretty excellent hard-counter to enemy meatheads, with his suite of nonlethal spells targeting their usually weaker Will save. He was a good kid. He really didn’t want to kill anybody. We took a lot of prisoners with Brenan around.

Eventually, though, we started running into the Plot, which meant- among other things -running into a lot of Evil Wizards. Their Will saves were usually pretty damn high and so there was little chance of catching them with Sleep or Charm Person or the like. But almost all the spells that targeted their Fort save were kinda brutal, and the Reflex saves weren’t much better. He could counter-spell them sometimes, but not always, and it didn’t solve the problem, really. Just put the onus of murder on our Solamnic knight, running up and stabbing the cackling Black Robes with a huge fuckoff sword. That wasn’t very satisfactory, either. What’s a near-pacifist to do? Fireball?  Finger of Death? It was a dilemma.

Until Brenan picked up a null-magic zone spell. I can’t remember the name of it. But you cast it, and for a fairly sizable area, nobody could cast any spells. The enemy mages and clerics would start to fret, but they felt secure at least that Brenan was equally screwed.

Only, he was a farm boy. With a Str of 16 and a feat in Unarmed combat.

By the time that campaign ended, Brenan had personally captured over a dozen renegade Black Robes and dragged them back to the Tower for judgment. They hated and feared him- most of all because he didn’t even have the decency to kill them. No- every last one of the world-bending megalomaniacal sorcerers he defeated had to live with the knowledge that they’d been beaten by a farm boy prodigy and his mean right hook.

“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”

A little doodle for one the most beautiful lines from any poem, The Old Astronomer.

[primalheart]

This is not a little doodle. This. THIS. This is fucking MAGIC. You have captured pure wonder and whimsy and romance and bliss and that almost melancholy wholeness when you look up at the sky and just feel the smallness of your being and the grandness of the universe. All this captured with a lover’s eye. We cannot see her face but I feel the tender passionate ardour for this petite but mighty creature in the world. While at the same time I feel the bittersweet swoon of wanting to be gazed upon myself with such whole and overwhemling admiration and love. It is goddamn masterful.

I am fucking following your tumblr charliebowater you are amazing.

I really like Rothkos, although I admit that the average Rothko could be just as well produced by a halfway competent interior designer

[voxette-vk]

Just curious: what do you like about them?

[bpd-dylan-hall-deactivated20190]

I like looking at them?

Representational art, to me, is like looking at a man with very well-sculpted muscles. I can tell he put a lot of work into them, and that is admirable, but it does not make my brain fizz. Abstract art makes my brain fizz.Therefore I prefer abstract art.

in your otp who punches the wall and who decides to frame it

[acollectionofcanticles]

Gonna do this for a BUNCH

Lutan=puncher, Kavita=framer

Suri=puncher, Caro=framer (not romantic, but hella brotp)

Araz=puncher, Annox=framer

Hyo=puncher, Etsuki the Platonic Bro=framer, Sam=smiling a tiny delighted smile which is the Sam version of a hysterical giggle

Ryk=puncher, Sam=flincher/apologizer  (he would freak out just thinking about doing the framing thing to Ryk)

Ryan=puncher, Marco would not frame it and would not notice it had been framed and might not even notice that there was a hole.  I don’t know if Bree or a Jazz Band member does the framing thing.  The humor is a little too subtle for Bree, but she’s more likely to be in Ryan’s house.

Miranda=puncher, Anjali=framer, and tbh this is the couple that fits the meme the best so far

Neither Trey or Janelle would punch a wall, since they are both Too Chill, but if one of them did the other would definitely frame it

Tori=puncher, Abigail and Shoshanne=framers, and tbh they have both literally done this.  For the first, Abigail did it to ease the tension after a particularly tough and Thanksgiving with one of their homophobic families and it led to Tori laughing her low, sexy laugh, growling “come here, you”, and having Passionate and Loving Married Sex with Abigail.  For the second, tbh Tori was probably trying to punch Shoshanne and Shoshanne escaped, then snuck back in and framed the whole to taunt Tori.  Afterwards Tori masturbated and felt guilty about it.

Norah=puncher.  Tbh if Rass punched a wall he’d probably apologize to it.  Saphra is clearly the framer but for some reason I can’t actually picture her doing that?
