Prepare for the weird

[onlysometimesafae]

Guys

You can say a lot about Matt Mercer. You can say he may be ignorant or that he doesn’t understand or shouldn’t talk about that thing because he doesn’t have the perspective. But don’t ever say he doesn’t honestly care about the story he’s telling and the people he’s telling it for and to. He just cried live on the internet because he wanted to share his story about how homophobia and ignorance has affected his life. He did this in defense of a story and game that a group of people are playing for themselves and their own amusement. Yes we as a community are involved in the story but it’s primarily a game that they play for their enjoyment and pleasure. And Matt just brought up a lot of emotions and memories that distressed him and made him remember things he maybe didn’t want to. All so people online, who don’t know him were telling him he couldn’t do something because he didn’t have the same experiences as they did, could understand where he was coming from. He cares guys, maybe too much, but he does care.

Today's Star Wars RPG game highlights

My twi'lek scout Rhea multiclassed into Jedi after being trained to use a light saber by A'zar her Kel Dor sith friend. The first few minutes of the session consisted of: •Rhea coming to get breakfast on the ship •Gar, her mandelorian jedi hunter buddy, senses Rhea’s new force powers and throws a chess peace at her face •Rhea stops it mid air and shrieks, then tells A'zar and Gar it’s not nice to play pranks, she doesn’t think it’s her doing this •Back in her room, Rhea’s belongings starts floating around her, more screaming •A'zar comes downstairs and gives the “force puberty talk” to Rhea •Rhea nervously eats toast as she tries to come to terms with her new powers •pirates attack and Rhea comforts the captain with chest pats as her companions slaughtered his crew

Damn. This gave me feels.

Easily excited

I just got WAY too hype about hearing @tmbgareok on the walking dead tonight. Like so hype that I excitedly texted my TMBG obsessed boyfriend about it, and he doesn't watch walking dead. He also thought I was psychic for a second when I said TMBG was playing because he was listening to the Lincoln album.

Petition for the Internet to Stop Calling Donald Trump DT

DT= David Tennant, who is a cinnamon roll and 1000% the opposite of Donald Trump.

It should be DD= Donald Drumpf.

 Make Donald Drumpf again.

Reblog if you agree.

I've been fostering some kittens for a few weeks. They used to be so smol but now they are big kittens that climb me like a tree and that's okay.

I am utterly and completely disappointed in America. Over these past few years, though it isn't always obvious, we have made so much progress towards finally treating everyone with the simple liberties and rights that they deserve. But now, thanks to a majority of America, it has been decided that instead of making more progress, instead of trying to fix how people are treated in this country so that this could be the country it was meant to be, it has been decided that instead of that, this country is going to give in to fear mongering and hate and disguise it as making the country "great" again. There is nothing great about threatening people into doing what you want. There is nothing great about wanting to outlaw an entire religion(in case you didn't pay attention in history class that didn't end so well the last time). Congratulations America, you did this and when it all blows up in your face, you will wonder why you did this. I cried myself to sleep last night and cried when I woke up and cried in the shower over this. I personally am not in danger from Trump's hate, but I know so many people who are. My aunt who hasn't even been married for two years could have her marriage made illegal, my sibling who wants to transition may never get that chance, my friends who wear not even hijabs but head covering related to a different religion will be prosecuted and even possibly beaten or killed. Men and young boys everywhere will learn that is okay to assault women. I'm still in shock that this country decided to turn to hate all because they were scared and/or uncomfortable with religion different than theirs and people who look a certain way or love a certain person.

Elections and cramps

I have to say, I am definitely not taking it as a good sign that I started my period today and currently experiencing the worst cramps I've ever had. Like, guys, my uterus is even crying about our current election situation, that can't be good.

A Very Critical Giveaway: Inktober Edition!

A Very Critical Giveaway: Inktober Edition!

It’s the fourth and final week of Inktober Critters! You know what that means! *Guitar shredding* Its time for another giveaway!

Just as last time, this is for Critters and such, and the drawing will be in black and white. Make sure you communicate with me once you found out you’ve one and try to describe your character in as much detail as possible. The rules are below!

The rules for entering are as follows:

1. In order to enter, you must reblog this post.

2. Do not reblog more than once.

3. If you win, please do not try to enter again or enter on other accounts

4. That goes for everyone as well. Do not enter under multiple accounts. It’s unfair to the rest of the people entering.

5. You may enter until Wednesday. I will announce the winner’s name Thursday  night along with that day’s inktober post and I will message them privately. If you fail to respond within a day, I will be forced to pick someone else.

6. If you win, make sure you have your character description ready and any reference pictures of their clothing. A backstory would not hurt either, as it helps me get the overall feel of the character. You can never add too much description. Pulling references off google also helps as I am not very versed in designing costumes. Make sure you have a very clear idea of what your character dresses in so that I don’t end up putting them in some really poorly designed gear, because that will happen if you are not prepared.

7. This is my little thank you to the Critter community, so please don’t be upset if you don’t win. I can choose to stop the giveaway if anyone who doesn’t win is being disruptive.

8. The winner will be picked at random. This is a fair giveaway. I won’t be picking favorites.

9. Have fun!

10. Also just as a note this giveaway is meant for the critter community, and for D&D in general, so I’d prefer that if you win, request something either Critical Role or D&D related.

Last chance
