Here’s my piece for the @ddfanzine!​! I just can never stop thinking about how Vvulf’s guarding move is the only one who doesn’t give PROT to the guardian. He literally puts himself in harm’s way to protect his men... makes himself an easier target... Ugh, I love him SO much. :(

(Vvulf headcanons and some comments about the zine under read more!)

Don’t get me wrong: I don’t mean to woobify Vvulf, I love him mean and evil or morally gray at best. But it just tugs at my heartstrings to think that despite everything, he actually cared about his brigands to the point of risking himself. 

I have a headcanon based on the Wolves at the Door event: did you ever notice you can find some Madman with the brigands on the corridor battles? Correct me if I’m wrong, but when you find them in the usual missions, they’re always accompanied by Cultist Brawlers and Cultist Acolytes, not brigands, right? So I like to think the Madman are brigands (captured by the cultists and tortured to madness) and those in the town event are rescued men. They rescued them from the dungeons before the raid on the hamlet, that’s why they’re with the brigands now.

This whole ‘leave no man behind’ thing when applied to Vvulf makes me SO ILL, he loved his boys to death. I just... AUGH </3 </3 </3

But yeah, about the zine, the version I posted here is slightly less edited than the one I ended up sending. I think I overdid with the blue highlights and grainy textures in the end, I like the less edited pic more.

My DD zine bundle arrived last week!! Everything was SO beautiful, not only on the zine itself but also the extras, from the digital wallpapers to the little stickers, good job everyone, good job @ddfanzine <3

(Some fic recs and other random stuff under read more!)

So I have just finished reading all the fanfics, kudos to all of them too!! The ones who stuck in my mind were (in no particular order):

"How to woo a holy man" by MnM_ov_doom (tardif following dismas's advice to approach damian, so funny and endearing)

"Ballads of the Lost Souls" by Leenu_Heath (a different type of poem for each hero, so creative!)

"Trinkets" by asimawv (loved the timeloop premise and that. ENDING. </3)

"Puppet Master" by Carpe_Natem (a tragic closer look on the Butcher's Circus Ringmaster and her decaying state of mind)

"Heaven of stone" by wyrd_eater (delicious pain and torture like only she knows how to do it)

I won't say much else to not spoil those who haven't read it yet, but do yourself a favor and pick it up to read it if you haven't already!

Also, if I have to choose one(1) favorite thing from the bundle, it will have to be the little maid jester sticker. It is so tiny and adorable, I mean, look at it!! I can never stick it. Nice job @aloetech!

[Also, totally unrelated to the DD or the zine, but if you want to, do pay attention to the books I used as a stand for the zine, I totally recommend them as well!]

The blue book is "Roadside Picnic" ("Piquenique na Estrada" in Portuguese), a Russian sci-fi novel about a setting in which aliens briefly visited the Earth but left without interacting with humanity, and the story of the book is centered around a stalker-- a man whose job is to go into the zones the aliens visited to grab and sell the odd artifacts they have left behind. (This book inspired the STALKER game series, if that sounded familiar!)

The pile behind the zine are all the volumes of "Dungeon Meshi" (or "Delicious in Dungeon"), a fantasy/comedy manga in which in order to survive and descend the dungeon to obtain their goals, the party must make delicious meals out of the dungeon monsters like walking mushrooms, slimes and even dragons. It is SO creative and funny, with such great world building and solid characters!!

(Do let me know if you follow any of these recommendations, so I can level up my 'trusted recs' badge or whatever.)
