art and stuff @lslanw - Tumblr Blog

Hello there!

Pinning this as a general introduction.

The main thing I do on here anymore is talk about D&D shows like Critical Role, Naddpod, Dimension 20, and Dungeons and Daddies. I would love to chat about stuff! It feels like a lot of lonely shouting into the void and missing each other on this site these days. I like to write fiction, though not fanfiction, and read books. (No offense on fanfiction, I did when I was younger and it was a nice time, but I cannot keep up with fandom and fan culture anymore) I LOVE talking about structure and poetics. I'm so down for this at any time.

I like to draw and am working at getting better at it. Here's a small halfling monk from a D&D campaign.

I also like Arthuriana, Stardew Valley, and poetry. God I love poetry. Big fan of nature walks. I'm trying to learn more about different local trees.

Wick 🕯️ P.S. Sorry, I might've gone too crazy with this one. Something possessed me

I will take some issue with the fact that many of the posts I've seen about folks not taking Bolaire seriously as an abuse victim posit that the same people are gushing about Occtis Tachonis, the perfect, stainless abuse victim, which isn't something I've actually seen. If anything, I've mostly seen people who dig that Occtis is still a Tachonis, and willing to immediately do things that are both dark and entitled.

Honestly, if I were going to pick anyone opposite spectrum on the Trauma Olympics from Bolaire, I'd have picked Kattigan?

We're a while into the Campaign for me to bringing this up but I do love that CR4 is a story about people going on adventures, where on average the women are older than the men.

Now Tyranny is by far the youngest PC, and Thimble is a bit hard to factor given that while she looks young (and was un-aging for some time) she is old enough to be a guardian fairy to Thjazi when they first met.

But looking at the other three main women, I believe Thaisha would be the youngest chronologically at 40 something. At 800 years I have to believe Vaelus is at least equivalent to that if not older in Elf life stages.

In comparison for the men while we do have Teor, Hal and Kattigan to add a little salt and pepper to the mix, Bolaire at 70 something is likely the oldest male PC. Julien, Occtis, Azune, Wicander are all at various stages of their 20s.

There's more mainstream stories being made about older women these days but, similar to the older PCs in Unsleeping CitY, these are types of characters that are still not often the center of adventure stories like this and I am very happy that actual play gives us a medium in which they can be without having to wait on the mainstream to catch up.
