Hello! Do you allow podfics of your fanfic? I absolutely loved reading "The Long Arm of the Law" and would love to do a podfic of it :0

yes i do (with credits of course), thank you for asking! im glad you liked my fic enough to want to spend the time making a podfic for it <3

[reynauldapologist]

Im new to Darkest Dungeon, where did everyone get the idea that Tardif bakes from

it's from this irrational bark!

obv the nature of the game means that this doesn't 100% confirm that tardif bakes (irrational barks in particular are always a little suspect), it could mean that he only thinks he'd be good at it.

personally i think it's a cute character detail that suits him <3 patience, attention to detail, and a keen eye are the traits of both a fine baker and a ferocious bounty hunter

sorry to hijack your reply, but i wanted to add it, and i thought you might be interested to hear this:

fun fact, but this line could’ve also been a veiled threat! or a self compliment, but in a slightly another light than his overconfidence in his skills. it can be seen as a statement about his body.

bakers in medieval times had to do type of manual work that required a lot of upper body and back strength specifically - chopping firewood for baking ovens, carrying flour and water, carrying baked goods to the customers, and especially kneading dough by hand while being bent over the bread trough. kneading dough in the trough is extremely labour intensive and hard (in part because of the bent over part, which impacts the breathing), and only a very physically trained person could do it for the needed periods of time without switching with other people or taking breaks.

considering Tardif loves to specifically punch people or pull them - both activities relying on upper body strength (yes, both need strong legs too, but you won’t punch good if only your calves and quads are in shape) - he would’ve made a really fine baker because his body is already heavily trained and durable in the same muscle groups.

also, bakers needed to know the measurements, which would’ve helped in not getting scammed during pay - and they knew plenty of ways of scamming people themselves, which would’ve worked for cunning molars hunter too.

hope you don’t mind to have this addition ^^

Do you want Reynauld in DD2?

I want Reynauld in DD2 as a playable hero

It would be nice to see Reynauld as a playable hero but not mandatory

I want Reynauld in passing mention (like Junia's tavern)

I want Reynauld as an enemy (like Surprise road enemy)

I don't care about Reynauld being or not being in DD2 in any form

I don't want Reynauld in DD2 as a playable hero

I don't want Reynauld in DD2 in any form

DD2 is better off without Reynauld (he doesn't fit class system, gameplay, etc.)

Reynauld is better off not being in DD2 (considering handling of characters)

Other (please specify in any way you see fit)

i finally found the poll creation and i am genuinely interested in the attitude of others toward the question which has been bugging me ever since i've seen DD2

I had a tremor and hit the wrong poll option but anyway I personally believe the ancestor 100% fucked up the time line with the Heart of darkness bullshit

oh for sure, canonwise there’s SOME kind of time fuckery going on. the amount varies depending on how you interpret the breadcrumbs the game gives us. anywhere from eternal hell loop to infinite timelines layered on top of each other.

personally i subscribe to The World is Just Like This Theory, because i don’t have the ability or the patience to write or reason through time shenanigans. plus the world-building implications of that are fun to play with

[reynauldapologist]

What’s your take on the DD timeline?

the heroes are from different time periods and some have been resurrected

(^same as above) but brought together through timeline convergence

the world of DD is just like this and there’s no time weirdness happening

time loop shenanigans

the hamlet is actually hell and the heroes are being punished for eternity

it’s not that deep bro / i don’t think about it

Why is Reynauld Like That™?

born that way

chooses to be that way

is that way to spite you

because dismas is into it

So I have been working for days on exporting all the heroes animations as gifs, made lots of progress already-- only 7 heroes to go, with 3 animations each (idle, walking and combat) so about 21 * 4 skins each... 84 gifs to go... cries. I'm aiming for the enemies next but oh boy. Tired.

Interestingly enough, some of the animations need to be manually fixed, like with Reynauld, we need to replace one of his boots with a copy of the other so he won't look like that ^^^

Here's the correct walk, I still think it looks a bit odd on a second look but that's how it is in game! I just thought the wonky walk was too cute to be scrapped so there you have it!
