It seemed like roughly time for a new avatar, given the last one was from three years ago.

Any dnd characters with a backstory needs to have at least one sibling or ex, those are absolutely the most fun relationships to pull at as a dm and to navigate as a player.

I am thoroughly enjoying all your strong opinions about how fantasy races are. Do you have any fun ones people probably won't think to ask about?

tieflings have the concept of an ideal horn shape. a traditionally attractive horn. unfortunately this also means that tieflings might gravitate toward certain horned monsters that while sexy, are probably too dangerous to flirt with(personally i feel like tieflings as a whole would go bananas for antlers but what horns they personally like is between them and their god)

Another take: Veil is kind of a manifestation of Shallan's disdain for herself. She actively devalues everything Shallan likes or finds comfort in. She has and will happily use Shallan's skills but devalues everything it took to learn them, and her disdain for Shallan's upbringing and mannerisms is matched only by her disdain for Shallan's feelings. Veil is all ABOUT image, but actively devalues the substance behind it because acknowledging it would undermine her pretended expertise. 1/2

Ultimately Veil results from Shallan's failures of self-empathy. She is built as a coping mechanism to avoid processing feelings. But Shallan sucks at perceiving herself accurately, as is confronted in her meeting with Hoid in OB, and as a result Veil sees Shallan in her entirety as Shallan sees herself when she's most frustrated while ratcheting up more severe character flaws (judgemental, shallow, skating by on talent, etc) by throwing out feelings that challenge her self-confidence. 2/2

Would any of your followers with deep knowledge of the Cosmere be interested in proofreading an essay on the Cosmere for correctness and understandability? Would any with very little understanding of the Cosmere be interested in proofreading just for the latter? I can't offer money but I can draw pictures for folk.
