For the Pride Month asks: 📘- what is your coming out story? + ❗️- when did you realise you were LGBT+?

I’m not 100% out of the closet yet. Only with immediatefamily and a couple of friends. Only last year actually. Because I went to areally religious school I’m still not comfortable sharing with the friends Ihave from there yet, I don’t know where one of them stands and the other a fewyears ago had pretty much admitted to being homophobic (I hope she’s changed,but I’m certainly not gonna ask). 

I just kind of blurted it out tbh. I’d had a date plannedwith a girl I met online (didn’t work out with her tho) and just kinda wordvomited it out to my mum XD. I had to say it at least three times because I wassuper anxious about telling her and kept saying it too fast or mumbling. I knewthat she was accepting of LGBTQ+ people, but my anxiety kept telling me no. I’msuper lucky that she’s been incredibly supportive.

I fully realised just after I left high school. I can’tremember the moment of realisation, but after I left that bubble that was myreally religious high school I started to think more and more that I wasn’tstraight. I did have a few crushes on girls in both high school and primaryschool, but I was not going to admit it at that age, even to myself, so I kindof pushed them down and tried not to think about it. 

As an adult, for a time I didn’t know I was biyet though. I flipped flopped between identities, maybe thinking I wasbiromantic but homosexual, for a time, lesbian before settling on bisexual (tbhI’m more pan, but I prefer the bi label and flag XD).

Amaura! obvs. Also N and every fictional dad ever

Awee you big sweet Rae. 

i know you didn’t specify patton, but he just personifies the fictional dad thing sooooo

For your accurate suggestions, here are some of my fav dad jokes. Ahem

Want to hear a joke about paper? Nevermind it’s tearable.

This graveyard looks overcrowded. People must be dying to get in there.

The rotation of earth really makes my day.

Compliment: Youre editing skills are fuckin rad Insult: you live in australia and i do not therefore i am insulted you have not met me yet. Story: To come later due to character limit. Why do I follow? Because I met you on discord and liked your humor. If i met you I would punch your arm and then run away with your dog Molly after i made you cookies. Cute Message? No who do you think I am. I want to tell you that you rock. I want to know your favorite cake flavor.

Story Time: Youre alone. Its a Tuesday night and the clouds cover the stars and moon and only a streetlamp outside illuminates your space through the curtained window. Your hands shake, and the papers clenched between them crumple with the force of your trembling. It cannot be, you tell yourself. A mental mantra of pleas. You release the paper so you can cover your tearstained face. The wrinkled paper lands in the swath of light from the window. The shadows read it. ‘You ran out of characters.’

Dfhadjskfldjfasdfjkds cant handle compliments halp. I amalso insulted that you have not met me yet, Rae. One of us needs to win lottoor something so we can all have a huge meetup. Australia is too far away from y’all dammit XD

And that story. That story. Such good writing talents!!! Im love?!! But that ending is both ominous and hilarious, I love it. Seriously, I love your horror stuff dude. Your descriptions and tone are just… amazing

Run away with Molly? Hah! I’d like to see you try. But thosecookies sound rad tho. Rae you are cute, AND I WILL PROCLAIM IT UNTIL THE ENDOF TIME!! YOU ROCK MA DUDE!! Am I right ore am I right?

Also my favourite cake flavour is red velvet.

Thank so much Rae!

2, 4, 14! :3 tell me about one of your dnd characters :o

Oooh thanks for the ask chib!

I have so many dnd characters, I'll tell you about the 2 I'm playing atm!

Hazel: Previously a toriel-esque old lady Valenar High Elf wizard, now middle-aged half-orc wizard!

Thia: Dumb of ass firbolg shadow magic sorcerer (formerly wild magic before it was "cleansed")

2: What do strangers notice about them first?

For Hazel, they definitely notice her arms first, since her death and reincarnation she has been described as a "muscle mummy". Either that or she always seems to have something smudged on her face from baking, whether that be flour, jam or other ingredients.

Thia on the other hand, has a slight shadowy afterimage around her thanks to her new sorcerer origin. Kind of like Dark's aura, but it only reflects her actions that she just displayed and not anything different. If it isn't as pronounced, you would be drawn to her outfit. She wears very bright colours, and considering she's travelling a gloomy demi plane ruled by an edgelord vampire, she sticks out just a little bit.

4: How do they act around a crush?

Hazel's married to her longtime wife Ivy, but they still act like teenagers in their honeymoon phase. The party tried to help out at their bakery once and all the recipie cards had little love notes in elvish written on them from one another.

Thia hasn't experienced any crush or romantic feelings, but if she does she would be incredibly awkward around them, to the point where it would be obvious to everyone except for her. No eye contact without blushing, that kind of thing.

14. What attributes do they have that are inherited from their parents or shared with their siblings/other relatives?

Before Hazel's reincarnation, she was told she was the spitting image of ther father, but with her mother's demeanor. Ironically, she was reborn into the same kind of humanoid as her adopted son, and her new form shares similar blue eyes and jawline with him.

Thia is rather different from her parents. Her face looks more like her maternal grandmother's than either of them, and although coming from a family of druids, she is terrified of shapeshifting. Although, she and her sister have the exact same lavendar hair, and if you placed the two of them together you wouldn't be able to tell who was who from behind.

1, 2, 9, 31! for the D&D asks!!!!

Thamk for le ask Chibi!!!!

1. What do you think your D&D race would be?

Halfling. Absolutely no doubt there. The goal of just finding somewhere peaceful and quiet to live is so wholesome and pretty relatable ngl.

2. What class?

Bard. I mean photo manips is technically art right??? Id just use illusions to make that job a lot easier.

9. Has one of your characters ever died? How?

Not yet thankfully, but I'm anticipating my Curse of Strahd halfling bard is going to die next session. While the party was invited to dinner with him, Vani (said character) excused herself and charmed Strahd's elf follower (I know) to take his most valuable item and leave the castle with it so she can go rescue her charmed sister from Strahd. Easy enough right? You'd think so.

She decided to follow him and then go get her sister afterward, because loot, and the elf follower pulled out this giant powerful magic sword that caused an earthquake in the castle upon it's removal. Last thing that happened was Strahd was furious and disappeared from the dining room. So yeah she's pretty screwed XD

31. Tell me about your current party!

I've got 3 parties atm

1. In the Curse of Strahd one human(?) Paladin, gnome artificer, dwarf cleric, dragonborn sorcerer, eladrin elf barbarian and me the halfling bard. We're all disasters and we know it.

2. Homebrew campaign The Fate of Suroein human rogue, elf wizard, centaur ranger, gnome artificer, aasimar paladin, tiefling bard, and me dragonborn bard/draconic sorcerer. We're pretty much the accidental murder hobos.

3. Our Ravnica centaur fighter, half elf rogue x 2, and me the vedalken sorcerer. Our motto is basically be gay do crimes.

I could honestly ramble about dnd forever so if y'all interested: 50 D&D asks

[amaurapond]

Hmmm is it technically a color? A bright blue ocean lapping at a deep Navy starry sky.

Ooooooh I like that. Its a colour now!! The people have spoken! And space??? Aksjfhajfhsk

Such a compliment!!

Thank you, anon!

Cleric and Ranger for Hallia :3

Cleric: What does your character place their faith in - a deity, universal energy, themselves, the government, etc.?

Hallia doesn’t really place her faith in dieties or other religious figures. She is a pretty secular woman, but she does puts most of her faith in her magic and the Izzet League, especially Niv-Mizzet.

Ranger: What one thing does your character hunt for - money, a family heirloom, a source of power, a lost love, a missing relative, etc.?

Can’t really go into much detail without spoilers, but basically Hallia is on the hunt for justice and possibly revenge (we’ll see how that turns out ;)) for the deaths of two of her friends and colleagues.

Thamks for asking friend :3
