Hey how about a new intro post

I'm Stevie, after several years of going by a different name I realized that it made me miserable so here we are, subject to further changes :p

I like dnd, comic books, and a lot of other things

This blog is only chaos and I have given up any organization

I have 3 cats :3

My comic sideblog is fluorescent-starro

I have an Interactive fiction game that is on hiatus

And that's about it 👍

Something I really appreciate about Sam as a player (that makes a lot of people on the internet really mad) is his absolute refusal to meta game.

To be clear, the goal of DND is not to make The Correct and Strategic Choice all the time. Critical Role isn’t just DND either, it’s Actual Play, which is using the game as a medium for storytelling. Actual Play is a performance, it’s telling a story, and stories are so much more interesting when you make messy choices.

Wick going to find Teor even when he knew Teor was dead made so much sense because

1. We’ve been shown that Wick, as a character, is excellent at denial. His entire religion was revealed as a farce and he’s still a believer. That’s consistent characterization! Being told Teor has died was of course going to be met with a ‘no! It can’t be!’.

2. Wick knew there were other party members with Teor, of course he’d be concerned about them. For Wick to just assume Thimble and Co. would be fine wasn’t realistic!

It takes a really good actor to be able to see a piece of knowledge offered to them that their character could benefit from, and continue to act according to only their character’s beliefs.

Every time Sam does this (Scanlan deciding to leave the party because fuck these guys there’s no cosmic force saying he has to stay, Nott high out of her mind trying to cast a spell she doesn’t have) it makes the story he’s participating in telling better! Funnier! More interesting!

Wick became a killer because of these choices and it spun his entire character arc in a different direction.

Sam Riegel is GOOD AT HIS JOB and that job is to cause problems in the narrative.

I’ll get off my soapbox now.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

The anti-vax and anti-science propaganda is very real - and also, frankly I think doctors and nurses would've had an easier time getting people not to fall for it if they spent less time treating people like fucking shit

This post is about a lot of things but it is especially about racism, medical abuse, and eugenics
