Ooooh, can you do one for wheelchairs except it’s a throne? Because I definitely feel like I’m cruising around on a throne.

I literally bought a cane this week because I was tired of worrying about what other people thought about me using a cane. And I decided I was going to be a bad ass with it. I feel like one with it. I wish I had seen this sooner.

I think they should make a fighting game where all of the characters are from the public domain

If you’re “Asexual” then you shouldn’t be making sex jokes

I make sex jokes because sex is a joke

[sylvanas-girlkisser]

Hi consider this your blessing from a certified forever GM, to please make your TTRPG characters Mary Sues.

Listen if you spend enough time in the hobby you will inevitably get people turning up their nose, saying you need to make your PCs “realistic”. These people are wrong! Especially when it comes to DnD. There’s nothing wrong with tropes but after a while all the human fighters who used to be in the army, and elf wizard trying to live up their family legacy start to blur together.

The same cannot be said for the diamond-skinned demi-goddess cleric who started her prayers with “Hey mom, it’s me”; the self-described “slutty pyromaniac” tiefling sorcerer; the ranger who wanted to domesticate an army of rats and declare herself “queen of the sewers”; or the slightly macabre mushroom druid who became a sheepgirl while trying to cast “trans your gender”.

[mylordshesacactus]

There is literally only one hard-and-fast rule in D&D character creation, which is one of basic courtesy to the DM and others–you have to create a character who, for literally any reason at all, would join an adventuring party.

(Like I said, this is basic courtesy; nothing is worse than the player who, when the DM introduces a plot hook, responds with “but why would MY character care? why would I get involved in this monster attack? MY character would just let the town guard handle it!” 

The answer to “but why would my character want to get involved?” is “Because you’re not the only player at the table, and you’re not the main character in a novel.” Pulling the session to a grinding halt around your character’s…lack of interest in the entire game….is rude and unfair. This is a team-based game, and an understood rule of conduct is that you are going to be playing a character who will–reluctantly perhaps, warily certainly, out of fear or self-interest by all means, but will nevertheless–join forces with the rest of the group and have some form of engagement with the plot)

And get this.

The vast majority of players snottily talking down to the actually interesting and engaging character concepts for not being “realistic” enough? They violate that one rule all the fucking time. A lone-wolf jaded rogue sitting by themself in the corner might be “realistic,” but if they keep no-selling plot hooks and refusing to engage with the plot because “it would be out of character”, then they’re not a good character for D&D and their players should have made a better one.

Literally the only law of character creation is to make a character who will in some way, shape, or form engage with the fucking story.

Make characters who are INTERESTING and ENGAGING and FUN TO PLAY and yes, don’t let assholes ruin your fun, but also: You are probably objectively better at this than they are and you deserve to keep that in mind.

NEVER take character criticism from people who only have one rule they’re expected to follow and still can’t figure it out.

[illusivewoman22]

My husband always follows the “create whatever you want and have fun” rule. So far, his characters have included:

- The Most Famous Goblin Bard (“well, have you HEARD of another Goblin bard? No? So I most famous, yes?”) all done in a Stitch-like voice.

- The weird Druid with a moose for a therapist

- The Orc who just wants to go home but keeps getting lost and (mistakenly) puts his trust in the group for directions

He’s had a few dozen more, too. He’s tried the “evil necromancer” and “shining holy light priest” but they got really boring. So every time he gets an idea that makes him cackle, he jots it down in a notebook for whatever campaign comes next.

And his friends still want to see his goblin bard again. It’s kinda cute.

I have the highest respect for actors that have gotten over, or perhaps never gotten into, the pretentious mentality that certain roles are beneath them, and just go all in on shit they think will be fun

Like David Tennant is a highly skilled Shakespearean actor, who has every right to look down on Ducktales, but instead he said "I'm gonna play the fuck outta scrooge mcduck, and it's gonna be a good fucking time"

[missmagooglie]

I mean. It helps that David Tennant is a highly skilled Shakespearean actor who knows that the correct level of seriousness with which to treat the work of William Shakespeare is often this:

Btw I’m pro-quitting.  This is a quitting-positive space.  If you’re doing something and you decide “I don’t like this” or “I don’t want to do this” then you should quit.  Quitting is awesome.  Grinding only works in video james.

I quit all the time.  It’s great.

Trans Zuko is so funny to me. I’m not saying this to try and make fun of people who headcanon him as trans - trans headcanons are great and I support them. It’s just wild because it implies Ozai was out here like:

[Image description: a white woman with blonde hair is saying:

‘I can excuse burning a kid’s face, but I draw the line at misgendering’.

The words ‘burning a kid’s face’ and ‘misgendering’ have been edited in.

End description]

[aromanticduck]

Possible explanations I just pulled out of my arse:

Being trans is very normalised in the Fire Nation and misgendering is considered dishonourable and makes you Look Really Bad.

Zuko’s transition was convenient because Ozai wanted a male heir.

Zuko went to the Mother of Faces or whatever the spirit was called to get a new (male) face and body and part of the magic was that his family would only remember the new him.

Ursa allowed Zuko to transition when he was very young and Ozai just straight up forgot that he used to be a ‘girl’ because he pays no attention to his family.

even when/if everyone gets vaccinated and we are able to reach heard immunity i am NEVER going to forget how selfish and ignorant and hateful some people were during the pandemic. i can’t look at some people or businesses the same way again and tbh i don’t want to. if your own feelings over the safety and health of others then i don’t want you anywhere near me idc if the pandemic is “over” which it’s not btw :)

The French can be very brutal when they have to be.

Ask Marie Antoinette about that one.

[randalfthegray]

Ok but this is the sensible way to frame public policy. Those who have done their part for society get to participate in it once again, while those who refuse to do their civic duty are just facing the consequences of their actions. If you don't want the vaccine, you don't get to make it everyone else's problem. It's great!
