me, trying to design a D&D character while listening to music: okay… class. I think bard. Yeah, I’ve always wanted to try bard.

me: race… warforged? No, I’m trying that for a different oneshot. Uhh.. tabaxi?

me: …Puss In Boots, I’ve reinvented Puss In Boots

*Fearless Hero continues playing over my headphones*

me: that checks out

[conrebtm]

I was quite frankly expecting bard automaton to be the outcome, but y'know, this makes sense too

[lt-catbolt]

accidentally made the main themes for a new character I See Fire (the Hobbit) and Remember Them (Epic the musical) and now I'm slowly perishing as I realize the sheer amount of angst that can be induced from the duality of the lines "remember them, as the fire begins to fade" and "I see fire, blood in the breeze, and I hope that you remember me."

good sir why are you making me feel things

[conrebtm]

The First Days of College

*Niv POV*

His hands in his pockets and his favourite music on way too loud, Niv walked behind his mother and little sister towards the college he had been going to for, what, two - maybe three - years. The summer holiday had ended way too soon and he hadn’t truly been ready to say goodbye to his homelife yet.

Certainly not knowing he would be getting a new roommate.

‘Niv?’ his mother - Siri Larson - called out, having stopped walking so her oldest child could catch up. ‘Are you okay, pumpkin?’

Niv shrugged, noticing his sister roll her eyes. ’M'fine,’ he said, pulling off his headphones and glancing down at his mom. ‘Just… A bit sad that dad an’ Helene couldn’t come with us.’

Siri nodded slowly, taking a deep breath as she grabbed his hand. ‘O-oh, I know, honey. I’ll have your dad call you when I get home, okay?’

‘Okay,’ Niv muttered, squeezing her hand tightly.

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Just as Niv was about to sink back into the comfort of his music, he was nigh-bulldozered by what could only have been a titan-class dragon– except it wasn’t  a titan-sized dragon, it was a 5ft-something black-haired girl. With a sharp exclamation of surprise, she grabbed Niv’s wrist to make sure he didn’t topple over. She hastily stammered an apology, letting go as soon as she’d ascertained that he was standing on his own two feet again.

“I’m so sorry–” she apologized, her cheeks flaming in embarrassment, “I wasn’t looking where I was going, and I think I’m late, and– do you happen to know where I can find dorm 42B?”

@mona-does-rp

[artinandwritin]

Quickly pulling his arm back, rubbing his wrist - damn, the girl was pretty strong - Niv wanted to react. However, his mother reacted a bit faster. ‘That’s the same dorm my daughter is going to stay in,’ she smiled, putting a hand on Sunniva’s shoulder. ‘Right, dear?’

‘Yeah,’ Sunniva muttered, stroking a strand of hair out of her face and pushing her glasses a bit further up her nose. She glanced Jazz over from head to toe, a frown appearing on her face. ‘I hope the dorm is big enough for us both.’

Niv cringed silently at the young girl’s comment, knowing she didn’t have the best social skills. This was probably her trying.

A nervous laugh escaped Siri, and she gently squeezed her daughter’s shoulder - when her phone rang in a strange tune. A groan escaped her as she picked it up. ‘Hi- yes. Yes, love, we’ve arrived-’

Niv chuckled as his mother took a few steps away from the trio to - apparently - calm her husband down over the phone, before looking over at Sunniva and the new girl. ‘So, is this your first year?’ he asked the latter, crossing his arms over his chest.

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

The girl’s eyes flickered between Niv and his sister, seeming to study them both for a moment before snapping out of her trance. “Hmm–? Oh, yeah, I’m freshman in Criminology.” She let her gaze wander back to Sunniva, inspecting her future roommate. Unfortunately, Niv wasn’t able to read her conclusions from her neutral expression. “What about you two?”

@mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

‘History, I’m starting my final year. She’s doing biology, first year,’ Niv answered, glancing down at his sister. ‘Right?’

‘Yeah,’ Sunni nodded slowly, ‘I like how plants grow. I wish I were one sometimes. My dad made me a flower costume when I was six, but it was really ugly.’

‘Oh, yeah, I remember that.’ Niv grinned to himself, not really understanding how she jumped from biology to their dad’s stupid costumes, but it seemed pretty logical for her.

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

The stranger chuckled, tucking a rebellious strand of hair away behind her ear. “Heh, so long as you don’t turn into an evil flower.”

She held out a hand toward Sunni, beaming a smile. “I’m Jazz, by the way– I guess we’re gonna be roommates, huh?”

@mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

‘I guess so. I’m Sunniva,’ the blonde said as she took Jazz’ hand, shaking it slightly. ‘My brother is named Niv.’

‘It’s nice to meet you,’ Niv grinned slightly, ‘and 42B is in that building there, I’ll be staying there too. But, in a different dorm, of course. I think you’ll like it here, Jazz - there’s a lot of stuff to do.’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Jazz’s smile widened somewhat. “Awh, thanks, I hope I’ll like it here too.” She drew back her hand, sticking it into one of the pockets in her jeans. “Well, I’d better get going– I guess I’ll see ya in a minute, Sunniva? Unless you wanna come along straight away.” @mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

Sunniva glanced back at Niv, who grinned ever so slightly as he pointed at his mother - who was still wrapped up in a heated phone call with her husband about who knows what. ‘If mom’s okay with it, you can go ahead.’

‘She’s too busy listening to dad being stupid. I think she’ll catch up to me later,’ Sunni said, before turning to Jazz. ‘I can come with you. As long as you aren’t too loud all the time.’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

“Sounds like a plan!” Jazz grinned, before faltering into a confused frown. “Wait, was I being loud? I hadn’t realized I was being loud, sorry about that.”

@mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

‘No, but I can’t handle a lot of noise,’ Sunniva explained, fiddling with a bracelet she was wearing. ‘It fries my brain.’

‘Yeah, our dad and sister always forget that’s a thing,’ Niv commented, shaking his head slightly. ‘Anyway, you two have fun, I’ll just wait here for mom.’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

“Ah… that makes sense,” Jazz hummed, “I’ll bear it in mind! And if I get too loud without realizing, feel free to just… I dunno, punch me or something.” She chuckled light-heartedly, gesturing over her shoulder with her thumb. “Shall we go, then?”

@mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

Sunniva nodded, before walking towards the building Niv had pointed to, leading the way. Her brother waved as the two girls left, before turning to his mother and tapping her shoulder.

‘Hey, I’m gonna put away my stuff. I’ll see you in a bit?’

Looking up from her frantic conversation with her husband, Siri smiled softly at her son, whispering; Y-yes, go ahead! This is gonna take a while, your dad forgot how the microwave works again.’

Niv chuckled, before kissing his mom’s cheek and walking towards the building as well with a few of his bags.

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

He paused for a moment in front of the large doors, taking a slow breath. Time to find out who he’d be stuck with this year. It couldn’t possibly be worse than his roommate last year, right?

Right? ~ g a s p ~ it’s a perspective switch! *MEL POV*

The room was exactly like last year’s– eerily so, in fact. The bunk bed was tucked away beside the same dirty window, the closets were just as creaky, the drawers just as jammed– even the old mirror atop the splintering dresser was cracked in the same corner, although the jagged shards cut through it ever so slightly different.

Mel set down his two bags in the least-cobwebbed corner of the room, surveying the scene with his hands on his hips. It would need some work, but with a little love he’d be able to make it home. If he started with the cobwebs and some dusting, maybe aired out the place a bit and scrubbed the window… yeah. Yeah, it would work out.

It would have to.

He hummed a melody to himself as began searching the room for something to clean with. The room itself wasn’t large, but it came equipped with its own sink– thank the stars – which meant that if he could just find a bucket, or maybe a broom, he could get to work. After some digging around (and nearly tearing the doorknob off of a particularly stubborn closet door) he managed to find a duster, and decided to start with that.

He had just perched himself on top of the still-empty bunk bed to reach the webs dangling from the ceiling, when the sound of footsteps in the passage carried to his ears. He paused, paying no heed to the small spider that gratefully sprinted towards the window in the moment’s respite. It wasn’t the first set of footsteps that had wandered past his room, since plenty of students were moving into their dorms today, but he still preferred to be prepared. Sure enough, these footsteps halted in front of the door, and Mel lowered his arm to stabilize himself atop the bed as he glued his gaze to the entrance in curiosity.

@mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

Niv POV

Struggling with the door for a moment - damn, this was one heck of an old building, he kept forgetting that - Niv was finally able to force it open. The sight he was met with, however, made him stumble back a bit.

A young man, standing on the top bed of their bunks, holding a broom tightly in his hands as he stared at Niv. A bit… Weird. Yeah. Weird.

‘Um, hi?’ Niv tried to greet, awkwardly moving his hands around and bouncing on his heels. He glanced around, not knowing what to say. 'So… Roommate?’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

For a moment longer Mel stood frozen, taking in the newcomer in a split-second analysis: dark curls reaching down to their shoulders, glasses perched precariously on the tip of their nose, their sun-tanned skin darkened by the bags under their eyes. Said eyes seemed dull with exhaustion, and the flecked green bore a mixture of demurral and awkwardness. A typical tired college student, then– although there definitely was something fascinating about the air with which they carried themselves.

Satisfied, Mel slid off the bed in one fluent gesture, landing gracefully on his feet with only the slightest bounce as he hit the floor. Setting aside the cleaning supplies for the moment, he extended his hand towards the young man in the doorway. Halfway through the gesture he thought better of it, realizing his hand was coated in cobwebs and muddy dust, so he stuck it into his pocket instead.

“Heya, I’m Mel, nice t’ meet ya,” he beamed, rubbing the back of his neck with his less-grimy hand, “don’t mind the dust, I was doing some cleaning– these rooms tend to be about as clean as the inside of a trash can at the beginning of the year, so I usually do some of my own cleaning before I move in.”

He gestured vaguely to the room. “Feel free to put your stuff down somewhere so long though, I’ll try to make it quick.”

@mona-does-rp

[artinandwritin]

Niv POV

Niv nodded a bit, glancing around for a spot to dump his things. Eventually, he just decided to put them on the lower bunkbed, before turning to Mel.

'My name’s Niv. Uh, Larson. I’m starting my fourth year in the history course,’ he quickly introduced himself, pushing his glasses higher up his nose. 'The room… Looks clean. More clean than the last one I had, tho. My last roommate liked to smoke weed and invite every girl that interested him to smoke weed as well. This is a total upgrade.’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

A short laugh escaped Mel at the other’s remarks. “I suppose any room would look clean in comparison.”

He picked up the broom, twirling it idly as he looked up to see which parts of the ceiling still needed cleaning. Spotting one last cobweb to his right, he reached up to sweep it into the broom. “So, history huh? Got any particular time periods that interest you?”

@mona-does-rp

[artinandwritin]

Niv POV

'Vikings, I guess,’ Niv answered, sitting down on the lower bunkbed and leaned back on his hands. 'But only 'cuz my dad and aunt and uncle kept telling stories about how the village we come from descends from them. We’re from Norway, by the way. That would probably make it make more sense.’

He yawned slightly. 'And you? What do you study?’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

Mel paused, setting aside the broom as he finished with the ceiling. “Biology,” he answered after a moment’s thoughtful pause, before moving to search the cleaning closet and re-emerging with a bucket and cloth. He set the bucket under the tap, turning to face his roommate arms-crossed as he leaned against the wall, waiting for it to fill up. “Life… interests me, I suppose. Plus there’s a lot to learn about, and plenty of job opportunities.” It was a standardized lie, one he’d perfected over the past few years. Perhaps it came to naturally because it was partially true– life did interest him, just not for the reasons people usually assumed it did.

@mona-does-rp

[artinandwritin]

Niv POV

'That’s one way to put it,’ Niv shrugged, 'life is pretty interesting. Mainly cuz there’s so many different… Types of lives people live. It’s fun.’

He grabbed his backpack, glancing around. 'Do you want the top or bottom bed?’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

“Either is fine,” Mel responded, shutting off the tap and slinging the bucket out of the sink. “I’ll take the top one if you don’t have a preference.”

After tossing some soap into the bucket and stirring it around a bit, Mel dipped a cloth into the suds, wringing it out thoroughly before beginning to wipe off the windowsill and other surfaces. He stuck out his tongue in disgust at the amount of black dust that clung to the fabric, rinsing out the cloth repeatedly as he worked his way slowly around the room. Glancing over his shoulder, he could see Niv claiming one of the beds.

“So… do we need to set any ground rules?”

@mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

Niv POV;

The young man thought for a moment. 'Well, as long as you don’t do weed or something like that, I’m fine. Oh, and you should probably know that my parents love to call me at random times, so if im ever not around and the phone goes, you can take it. And… What about you? Any boundaries?’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

“Not really,” Melatron hummed, deciding he was satisfied and tossing the cloth back into the bucket. Dusting his hands off, he pursed his lips thoughtfully. “I mean… just don’t be a jerk, I guess? I tend to go to bed pretty late, so let me know if I’m keeping you up or something. Other than that…” He rubbed the back of his neck pensively, his eyes drifting to the ceiling. “I mean… I know I can come off as a little… odd… sometimes, so if something confuses you, please just ask.” He smiled awkwardly, laughing away his nerves. “I’d rather you risk offending me than you starting rumours about me behind my back– accidentally or otherwise.”

@mona-does-rp

[mona-does-rp]

Niv POV;

'I’m not really a rumour guy, don’t worry,’ Niv cracked a soft smile, 'it’s more likely people make rumours about me than that I make rumours about others. Kinda don’t like them, ya see? I-’

A knock on the door made him perk up.

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

Mel’s hand dropped back to his side as his gaze shot to the door. “I’ll get it,” he spoke quickly, conjuring up a friendly smile in preparation as he strode up to the door. He swung the door open in one fluid motion, leaning against the frame casually as he greeted the person beyond.

“What can I do for you?”

@mona-does-rp

[artinandwritin]

Niv POV

'H-hi, this is Niv’s room, right? He forgot one of his bags from our car-’

Niv shot up as he heard his mom’s voice, rushing to the door to greet her. 'Hi mom!’

A smile appeared on Siri’s face. 'I-I’ve got your bag, dear.’

Niv nodded, before turning to Mel. 'This is my mom, she’s really nice. And makes great food!’

@mel-does-roleplaying

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

Mel had stepped aside as his roommate sprinted up to the door, and now smiled fondly at what he assumed to be Mrs Larson. “It’s nice to meet you ma’am,” he beamed, straightening his shoulders respectfully as he addressed her, “my name’s Mel, I’m Niv’s roommate this year.”

[mona-does-rp]

Niv POV

'It’s nice to meet you too,’ Niv’s mom smiled, 'I hope you and Niv will become great friends! S-seeing as his last roommate was… Well.’

'The absolute worst, you’re allowed to say that, mom,’ Niv snorted, 'Sunni called him way worse, remember?’

Siri laughed softly, putting Niv’s bag down. 'O-oh, yes, I remember that! Your dad and I still don’t know where she learned those words.’

[mel-does-roleplaying]

Mel POV

Biting back a laugh, Mel’s glance flickered between the two Larsons. “That bad, huh? Well, I’m sure I can do better than 'the absolute worst’, but I suppose time will tell.”

His gaze dropped to the bag she was holding, holding out his hand. “Shall I take that for you?”

[conrebtm]

That one moment where Niv starts his sentence with "I--" and gets interrupted. WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAAAAAY???

[devilart2199-aibi]

Time to shovel some snow! ☃️

Etho knows how to handle the cold! It's time to bundle up. A winter skin for the season.

The design ⬇️ I ended up changing it from my other post with Tango, Bdubs and Etho. I think this fits a bit better! ^^

[conrebtm]

I love this design so much it looks so comfy

[ask-a-robot-superstar]

he has a stick, you’d better watch out

[conrebtm]

More Melatron animatics owo? Can't wait to see the finished result (if it ever shall exist)!

[minewarz]

So I just heard some air flowing through the radiator but it sounded like human breathing and I- Holy shit I need a moment-

[conrebtm]

Yep, that's what it's like. Playing music helps sometimes

[minewarz]

Y'all know that feeling where you don't quite know how to reply to some random message of a friend?

And you start typing a reply, decide it sucks

Try a new one, and a new one

Meanwhile your friend is wondering why you're writing an essay

And after 5 more attempts you give up and just reply with "cool"

Wasting 10 minutes and you just wanna disappear out of shame-

[lt-catbolt]

and the counterpart to this: when you’re typing in a chat to test/draft a message, and the person notices you’re typing…

and then they start a conversation, expecting you to bring up whatever topic you were typing about—

but you were just testing something and now you’re just awkwardly staring into the void

[conrebtm]

Heh hehe

Woops

[lt-catbolt]

it’s wallpaper sized. do with that what you will
