Twins at the Carousel Animation Meme but DCC // Not a spoiler, just artistic representation of the repeated cycle of trauma endured in the dungeon

[russianblush]

no ai usage over here. you’re gonna get my shitty authentic writing whether you like it or not

[sandgrassbagel]

mordecai with donut and carl is such an embodiment of that one post that's like "is that my..? fuuuuck that's my circus. and are those? dammit, those are my monkeys."

ONE DAY I'LL DRAW A BACKGROUND!!! BUT NOT TODAY!!!! (IMANI 🐱🐱🐱)

i like her alot

[overheard-in-the-dungeon]

My friend said this so credit to her but I think the most refreshing thing about Dungeon Crawler Carl is that it’s nice to read a book series about adults, for adults, where the adults act and communicate like adults, that is still humorous and fun to read.

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

The Anarchist

[luffysfakebeard]

the most afraid Carl has ever been

[fae-of-the-wild]

I have an idea for an AU for no dungeon DCC:

Carl does in fact take Donut when he leaves and he starts using social media to pay for her. We still get the Princess Posse! They would do numbers on social media. Ex-military man who has a cat that sits on his shoulder, not to mention his voice, if he could gain a little traction he could make bank to pay for Donut.

He absolutely should do a follow me on “Donut’s Journey into the Dungeon” aka the outside on a leash. We could definitely translate some of the mobs into irl stuff. Like the Goblins are children. Rats are squirrels and the like she tries to chase.

Eventually Carl makes enough to quit his current job and take Donut hiking for content.

We still can have Donut and Carl meeting their friends. Maybe the Meadow Lark crew is outside and see Carl walking Donut and they get know each other from there. Carl gets new friends and Donut has some many more people to pet her!

On a trip into the dungeon, Donut bolts off and finds baby Mongo, a bird of prey chick that has fallen out of the nest and broken a wing. She decides this her baby now. She’s very displeased when the rehab people Carl calls take Mongo away.

Katia gets met via online (look the cats silly adventures make her feel better through this awful time in her life) and eventually in person on a trip where Carl films Donut hiking in other countries.

Baptista send a fan mail package that has silver vine and catnip teas for Car and Donut with every clear instructions on how to prepare them. Carl says this the only tea he has ever liked.

Mordecai is a veteran living in the same building as Carl. He and his brother went into the military to pay for college. He gets to study fungi. He kinda adopts Carl as a little sibling/cousin. He occasionally will go on the hiking with them and he will point out what mushrooms are and are not safe for human and animal consumption.

Odette is still a talk show host. And she has them on the show a couple of times. She gives solid advice about how to deal with the fame and money.

Beatrice is furious that Carl is being a successful pet influencer. And when all of her atrocities come to light, oh that does not look good for her.

AI is being creepy in the comments about Carl’s bare feet of course.

anon in my inbox said fanfic writers who wrote about dark and taboo topics were not “real writers” because of what they wrote about.

reblog if you believe anon is wrong and writers are writers, no matter what they write about. no matter how they portray these taboo topics.

reblog if you believe art can be about topics that are controversial, taboo or outright disturbing, and artists who create controversial, taboo or outright disturbing art are as valid as artists who create art of conservative values.

reblog to laugh at anon ♡

"minor-coded" "sibling-coded"

you are fucking dumbass-coded

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

DCC Carl is the Guy™ of all time. 6'3 ex-coastguard trained in hand-to-hand combat. Was 100% gonna fight Bea's rich lawyer dad for custody of her cat, Princess Donut. Religiously hits the gym 2-3 times a week. Is completely at ease saving the world in heart boxers and, when necessary, completely naked. Also embraces his luscious long hair. Has the uncanny ability to combine, bend, and break game rules to suit his needs. Despite his intelligence, still regularly falls back on "bomb the shit out of it" as a solution. Curses like a sailor. Says "I love you" with no hesitation. Has surrounded himself with competent, scary-ass women and when they go, "Carl you fucked up" his response is, "Yeah, I did. I'm sorry." Ultra daddy issues. Works hard to never become his father. The two times he prioritized ~sexy lady~ over survival he was literally charmed. A friend to everyone who has his and Donut's back, be they human, alien, sluggalo, goat, or sentient sex doll head.

Did murder a bunch of goblin babies though. And allegedly jerked off a crab.

Ah well. No guy's perfect!
