27, 31, 37 for giselle :]

27. Who was the first person your character ever trusted (outside of family)?

Outside of like...copout "random four year olds in her dance classes" answer, I think her first ballet teacher after she went en pointe. Bad ballet teachers are really bad but good ones are...really good.

31. Who was the first person your pc killed? How do they feel abt it? (if they havent killed anyone, what is their moral stance on taking a life? under what circumstances wld they if any?)

Girlie has not killed anyone despite getting pretty close. Her moral stance on it is...really muddy. It's really messy! She is able to acknowledge that there was not really another option outside of killing Theo while also being so vehemently against the idea of a Glitterheart ever ever ever having the power to...kill someone/cause someone's death and also being 20 years old and also not wanting to argue anymore because there are so so many bigger problems. She tells herself she wouldn't kill someone and that she'd always be able to find another option. She also is Odette.

37. If you could give your character one piece of advice, what would you tell them?

Unfortunately bestie Giselle has all of my worst personality traits, including being totally incapable of taking advice. But if I could drill it into her the extent to which I firmly believe that quitting things is literally so fine and good that would probably be good for her,

hey, do you know where i can read the locked tomb short story? thanks!!

(assuming you mean the bonus one in the htn paperback and not the dr. sex one that's free on tor.com)

unfortunately I don't anymore!! I read it a couple months ago when the amazon preview was glitching, but now if you go to the amazon page and click "look inside" it'll give you a normal preview of the first 2 chapters or something and no bonus content. I believe there are google doc transcriptions of it floating around on here?? somewhere??? but I am not the person to ask about that. in the unlikely occasion that I do buy it (unlikely bc I already own the hardback), I'd be willing to distribute it, but I don't have immediate plans to do so. sorry I can't be of more help!

hey! i'm just curious, where is that melora quote from in your shang chi edit? thanks!

Wait you're talking about the quote "the world should have protected you"? Apparently it's from a podcast but honestly i don't know. I've seen it so many times on tumblr...

5, 7 and 9 for cas!!

5  What was the first time you really connected to this character, if ever? Why do you think this moment made the character special to you?

hannah asked this too but another moment for this one was when the guards spotted us - we all rolled super low perception and the first warning of it we had was them being literally behind us and cas, on instinct, casting invisibility in the middle of the market was so stupid but also i was like. yeah this is what she’d do. she doesn’t deal with problems she just hopes they go away or hopes she can go away. it’s the figuring out how they deal with conflict of it all. and then later in the prison with devo and luca not telling them what was actually really going on because she felt really guilty and scared and just. holding devo’s hand for a little bit because she is still just a kid (i say, about a 20 year old, at 19 years old myself). and it was more she was digging her nails into her palm rather than talk about it and the only way she could think of to stop doing that was to hold someone else’s hand because she wouldn’t hurt them. it’s so easy to play characters when they’re just flirting w people at a bar or in combat that doesn’t have emotional stake but man. the past coming back to haunt you do make you think.

7.  Did you ever rewrite/revise their backstory during the campaign? How much of a change was it? How much do you think the DM cried, and how sorry do you feel for their tears?

i don’t think i’ve revised anything so much as i’ve just fleshed stuff out? because with the tulas “arc” being first we got to the island and i was immediately like “huh i need to figure out what cas’s family is really like etc” and so then mac and i spent a while talking about her sisters and the country and cas and amias which was delightful. it didn’t change much (except the one thing that i talked about in coggers a bit) but it did make it easier for me to just say shit which i love doing. i doubt mac cried and if they did, whoops.

9.  What are your character’s relationships like with every member of their party? Bonus, if you want to write a short blurb on your character’s opinion of them.

ah delightful! they simply don’t know each other yet but that’s okay:

sera: cas has forbidden older sister emotions about sera but it’s Fine it’s just a LOT for her sometimes. she thinks she’s very sweet and delightful and is a little scared of her because she seems incredibly powerful without knowing it.

jettie: cas has less forbidden older sister emotions about jettie. she admires her strength and her resolve and is mostly still confused about what’s going on there but she also trusts jettie with her entire being to either beat some fuckers up or reveal something crazy like wings to save their asses (jettie uses an ability she hasn’t before and cas just goes. you know those days when you’re like. this might as well happen. adult life is already so goddamn weird)

fin: cas is legitimately so awed by fin because she knows SHIT about her and thinks she’s fucking cool as hell. also right now cas probably thinks fin’s magic comes from somewhere mysterious and unknown too which it does but not in that way. also. fin’s been to JAIL?!

devo: literally. yeah. cas has forbidden emotions about devo too in the opposite direction and needs to ask her like nine thousand questions once we’re done with this battle but cas would literally fight with devo til the end of the earth it’s just how it be.

bonus round luca: cas loves him and thinks he’s fucking hilarious and is constantly worried for his well being. amias: cas still likes him but jesus christ man get your act together no sleepovers for a while we both need to be healthy human beings (elven/infernal beings, whatever)

overall: cas is starting to like. trust the party to have her back and trust herself to have theirs and it’s nice :]

lydia stormborn for the character thing!!

MY WIFE BUT ALSO SOMEHOW MY MOM

How I feel about this character

listen she? good. she was already cool when we just knew her as The Widow but as soon as we saw that flashback? as soon as “my turn to be a god”? as soon as that THING where she SAVED ALL THE DWARVES by putting them in her SWORD? i love....her. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character

i genuinely think it would be hilarious and great if she hooked up with Moonshine. moonshine hooking up with hardwon’s mom is a) what she deserves and b) so PERFECTLY in character for naddpod. i’m also into Alanis/Lydia--is this mostly because i think they’re both hot? yes. I also like Lydia/Elias for what it was, or for what I imagine it to be--a sort of naive, youthful relationship where he showed her what it was like to be free of the Chosen and they both loved each other but he ultimately couldn’t put her and her family above his own stubborn pride? fuck! that’s so tragic! but it’s tragic in a way that i like. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character

her relationship with Hardwon? beautiful. iconic. darling. i love it. i also adore the Potential that exists in her relationship with Red and Gunther--they were PIRATES TOGETHER!! they ALL loved Elias!!! she TRUSTED them with taking care of her baby son!!!! 

My unpopular opinion about this character

i LIKE the concept of her and Elias’s relationship!! it had a shitty end and it probably wasn’t the healthiest thing in the world but i bet they had some wild and wonderful adventures together and i bet they really really loved each other but he just.....couldn’t put her and hardwon above his own pride. and that SUCKS. but i don’t think it means the whole relationship sucked, ya feel me?

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

i’m pretty happy with how things have gone? i would like to see the shadowfell armies play a part in the Big Final Battle, i’ve been WAITING for them to storm the material plane ever since Moonshine first brought it up as an option in episode 75.
