🎲 Character Class is in Session! 🎲

This week I played around with some of the new character creation options available in Strixhaven, the latest addition to the world of Dungeons and Dragons - in a video sponsored by Dungeons and Dragons itself! 😱💖🎲 Which one’s your fave? 👀

If you wanna see the process that went into this set of character designs - (and hear more about the new Strixhaven Sourcebook that inspired them!) - check out the full speedpaint over on YouTube!

Is there rly any softer scene than when o'malley sees duchess and falls in love with her at first sight in the aristocats, complimenting her at every turn and climbing into a cherry blossom tree to make the flower petals snow gracefully down on her? How dreamy 🥀💕

[filmnoirsbian]

This Is Love 😍😍

Not to mention when he found she had kids, he was thrown for a second, then proceeded to not only still help her, but dote on them too.

“Not all men” you’re right, Abraham DeLacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O’Malley would never.

Relationships are about helping each other grow and that involves emotional labor on both parts both big and small things. If you know your partner has some sort of anxiety issue or w/e sending “hey i’ll be busy today i’ll text you when i can love you” will literally absolve so many issues in less than 30 seconds. But you freaks up here seem to think that caring about someone and catering to them (to a certain degree) is weird and unhealthy. And you wonder why you have no good relationships romantic or platonic.

This is so important.

trans vampires rb if u agree

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

super looking forward to the Among Us movie adaptation

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

no it isn't happening yet but it's just a matter of TIME. how many hollywood writers do u think are currently scribbling out screenplays. I can hear their bic pens scritch scritch scratching. fingers crossed we get an entire franchise of films

[ask-red-and-jeff]

See, you say these things, and one of two things happen.

- the madlads actually DO it and it turns into the next Ice Age franchise, or, worse, the Land Before Time franchise, with never-ending sequels until the non-existent endpoint no longer resembles the beginning

- they laugh and, while the scripts are there, they’ll remain hidden away, never to be seen or bought. 

Either way, they’re made, and it’s because of the feral Faustian energy you are made of that will make this unreality our own reality.

How does fire transmutation impact living creatures? Does the soul barrier protect them, or does fire transmutation work differently than basic elemental magic in terms of soul? You’ve gone on record saying that there’s no current method of true shapeshifting, so I imagine it must be more complex than turning one living being into another creature.

Fire transmutation doesn't tend to be used on living creatures, but it can have an effect. Transmutation and life magic can be combo'd to "temper" a mortal body, usually making it stronger and tougher, but the process is gradual - one of the only ways to bypass the soul barrier is through incremental changes too small individually for the body to reject, which tends to be how long-term life magic effects are applied and made permanent. Transmutation changes the body on the basically-cellular level, though, not on the large scale - shapeshifting would be more like sculpting than forging, and doesn't seem feasible through this approach, at least not on this scale.

So, it’s a little like Mwendo’s “Forged him” thing, but slower and potentially more deadly?

society if comics remembered that despite their stupid hero/villain dichotomy literally every superhero is 100% a criminal... like. they don’t have permission to do the shit they do.

[pollackpatrol]

every time a superhero tries to pull moral high ground above ANYONE using law or legality or any law enforcement agency i get so mad like SO mad. realistically there is nothing separating you from these people on a legal standpoint. you HAVE to recognize that crime is a social construct (but hurting people—and helping them—is not) in order to be a compelling superhero writer IMO. instead they write weird shit like “if you have an FBI file on you you’re a bad person” as if any well known LITERAL VIGILANTE wouldn’t realistically have their own FBI file a mile long

[pollackpatrol]

“im better than you because i’m not a criminal” CRINGE. YOU LITERALLY ARE. “i’m not inherently better than you and you’re not inherently worse than me. you choose to hurt people, though, and i choose to help them” im kissing you on the mouth

[pollackpatrol]

if your only exposure to superheroes is the mcu then this post is NOT for you. die

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

funniest mistake you’ve ever made that seemed like a good idea at the time?

@out-of-context-things​ said: You know those little flower seed planter things that are made of paper and full of seeds? I tried eating one thinking it was a chocolate chip cookie

…i once tried to make a pot of tea with one of these

[kaldurcalm-deactivated20240513]

I fucking love that you both tried to eat it

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

scuse you. I tried to DRINK it, which was an infinitely messier process

super can’t relate to all these horror movies that start with a upper-middle class couple buying a nice house

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok so it’s haunted by the murderous ghost of a chainsaw wielding witch or something so what? am i supposed to believe a poltergeist is more petrifying than a mortgage? in this economy?

“an entire family died in this house” bitch none of my friends can afford to start a family. “my child is demonically possessed” demonic or not your child’s behavioral issues are significantly less horrifying than my credit rating

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“this home is possessed by vengeful spirits” buddy I’ve shared a refrigerator with 6 roommates simultaneously, i have SEEN WORSE

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

wait so technically vampires are vegetarians

[yaoib0y]

op elaborate

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

blood is a non-meat animal product, like diary or eggs. that counts as vegetarian don't it

[erratic-meowmeow]

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

if a vampire only feeds on villagers it finds wandering around in a haunted forest or whatever, that counts as eating both local and free-range

All the children born over the last year are going to grow up deeply and profoundly bored with hearing about how they were born during a global pandemic

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

being born in 2022 like "you were one of the very first babies of the first post-covid generation" "I know grandma but can I please borrow your charging field my holo-gloves are at 13% and this animal crossing duel is gonna be a bloodbath"
