marisol did nothing wrong,

roo, 27. used to be a dnd/critical role sideblog, now home to original fiction writing projects. feel free to ask about any of them !

[rosauni-verse]

criticaldemiplane -> rosauni-verse

going to be using this blog less as a critical role/dnd sideblog now and more as a home to store my headcanons, drabbles, random thoughts, and other stuff about my original fiction. my notion pages for explaining the basic plot, worldbuilding, and characters are here !

also, as always, this post will be tagged with a bunch of things to make navigating my own blog easier

happy pride month and shout out to “there’s nothing wrong with homos, guys”

if i were a guy i’d sooo be picking fights at bars as a repressed homosexuality thing

sometimes u headcanon a character as a sexuality but then also ship things that contradict that. sometimes you ship things you would NEVER EVER want in canon. this is because these things are fun and silly and not legally binding.

[captainclickycat]

Yeah I don't know where some people got this idea that fanfic is always like, auditioning to replace canon or being posited as "better" than canon, as opposed to people just borrowing the characters to play with in the sandpit for a while before putting them back in their box

me, staring at the one sentence i’ve managed to add in the last hour and the 12 open tabs on the specifics of shoes in 1845 Ireland: In theory.

whenever i look into a historical monarch who doesn’t get talked about much and is just kind of a blank spot in my understanding of the historical narrative, 95% of the time what i find is pure white hot blistering capability. a pencil pusher for the ages. a 39 year reign with no more than three hours of sleep a night. there aren’t any good stories from his reign because he systematically caught and stopped all catastrophic good stories before they could start. you shrimply must respect it

semi-related but it’s ironic that game of thrones famously neglects to worldbuild textiles when (for me at least) textile history has proven one of the best lenses for an “aragorn’s tax policy” grounded view of history, especially for a late medieval-early modern english setting. yes henry vii of england reinstated the court of the star chamber, but you’ll get a better sense for the character of his reign by looking at how and why and with what result he disrupted the trans-european alum trade. yes elizabeth i of england loved essex and killed him, but you’ll get a better sense for her reign by looking at her sumptuary laws, why she passed them and how they were obeyed. the history of european pin manufacturing sheds more light on spanish-english relationships than any anecdote of walter raleigh could

one of the most interesting non-straightforward writing phenomena i've observed is when a character insists on having a negative trait but it's like… not obvious why they have it. like alright so what happened to you. Why are you like this.

[ilynpilled]

trope i really like is self-loathing characters desperate for the catharsis of punishment for frankly rather selfish reasons who r also obsessed with repeatedly pressing others into hating them and hurting them as essentially a method of self harm. yes baby continue making it worse for urself and everybody around u instead of doing an actually productive and effective journey of improvement and redemption

[rosauni-verse]

the world history of this planet is really just that the denekells managed to create a global empire out of their absolute fucking asses

I saw an “OC Red Flag Bingo” floating around but it was not toxic enough for my needs so I decided to make my own LMFAO Feel free to use, but please credit me and link back to the original! :D (And @ me if you’d like—I’d love to see how bad your OCs can be!)
