#koboldcore

[hecho-a-mano]

a kobold will say "yip!" everytime one of their characters level up in an rpg

[druzysaur]

so you guys know how sometimes lizards can have two heads

my idea now is to make a two headed kobold for a future campaign. they are a paladin/champion both following the same deity (i have not decided which! suggestions welcome!!!) but have very different interpretations of what being a champion of so-and-so actually means. Neither of them are wrong but they will often argue with themselves over what to do and what a true champion of whoever should actually value. ofc they do agree on some things and both can agree that the most important thing ever is protecting their friends and those who can’t protect themselves! i probably won’t get to play this guys for a long time but i’m excited to make them

Being kobold/dragon is play-wrestling with the people you care about, Gotta Keep 'Em On Their Toes (affectionate)

Koboldcore foods

Due to mostly obtaining food via scavenging and highway robbery, rather than agriculture, kobolds don’t have a cuisine based off a small selection of staple foods which they can access regularly, but rather by combining niche and eclectic ingredients.

Our lizardy boys prize preserves, pickles, smoked meats, and spices, as they can be stored for a long time, when opportunities for new food are lacking. They do also perform *some* underground farming, and have a lot of mushrooms because of that.

Spices are especially valuable, as they can give a sense of cohesion to the chaotic ingredient-combinations that kobolds are forced to use, in their lack of staple foods.

Living in large communal tribes, they prefer to produce large meals for the whole group. Especially tagines and curries, as they make good use of their large hordes of spices.

It’s a sin I’ve never heard of Koboldcore, so here are my suggestions for the aesthetic

VALUES/PERSONALITY/IDEALS

Be gay, do crime is the slogan

Doing your best and being there for loved ones is a key value, but it’s okay to be scared or be “weak”

Literally anything you own is literally the best shit in the world, even if it’s just sticks or dust

If it glows in the dark it’s the best

Don’t deal with bullshit, only work with people you like working with and make you feel happy

✨ E m p a t h y ✨

Minecraft

Traps, Knick-knacks, toys, arts and crafts, projects and making things = oh yes please, bonus points if it’s either “useless” or doesn’t make sense to others and only makes you and other Koboldcore people happy

Saying no when you don’t wanna do stuff? That’s the shit

Trying new things is cool

God is a joke

Being open with others is highly welcomed, being touch-starved is everyone, being dramatic is recommended and just trying to survive is expected

ALL HAIL THE MOM FRIEND

Using a scary amount of emoticons + slang is very nice, like XD or LOL or ;-; or whatever you wanna say. Also capitals iN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE IS PRETTY COOL TOO

Fake accents are just *chefs kis,* bonus points if it’s an accent for a language that doesn’t exist. Speaking of which, made up languages are expected and conversations should be held where nobody understands each-other more often

Basically just live your best life even when life is whooping your ass

FASHION

If it’s wearable, you should wear it

Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t match or shows too much skin or “isn’t for your weight” (again, don’t deal with BS,) if it makes you happy WEAR IT

Gender is just an accessory

Most common fashions are what you’d find the average 8 year old to wear, graphic tee’s + shorts, coats that are way too big, crop-tops and/or Velcro shoes but wear what you like

Shoes that make sounds are very nice. Heels with click sounds, boots that stomp well, sketchers and squeaky shoes are a gift from whatever god is out there. Tap dancing is just,;;;;$;$4&;

ACTIVITIES

Doing random arts and crafts

Plotting

Spending time with loved ones

Spending way too long in the bath/shower debating life

Popsicles

VENT ART VENT ART VENT ART

Being annoying but like in that lovable way

Buying random food from the store you’ve never tried and tasting them

Therapy

Doing things society says you shouldn’t (don’t do anything illegal without inviting me)

Having (friendly) competitions and challenges

Honing skills that either do nothing for you or scare people

Stimming

Scaring people is very good

Napping

Flirting (bonus points if it’s with yourself)

Treating yourself as much as possible

Surprising people with gifts for no reason

Being vague and concerning (Marking calendars where people will see in red marker saying “The thing” and constantly talking about the thing without elaborating and spending the thing day just doing what you want, randomly leaving the room silently and coming back in like nothing happened, sending friends sitting next to you pictures of them making a weird face, giggling to yourself for no reason, randomly exclaiming “OH SHIT” or something and resuming what you were doing, etc)

Sprinting down halls screaming “THE GNOMES ARE COMING”

Talking to trees

Infodumping

Spending way too much time reading the backs of products, looking at the background of a movie/video, staring into your eyes in mirrors, etc

More may be added soon

I recently was enlightened to the existence of goblincore and as someone who likes rocks, moss, shiny things, curated clutter, and almost exclusively plays as a kobold when rolling D&D characters I must say that I'm definitely VIBING with this hashtag. As is my cat.

My take on the aesthetics for the "creature cores”  (dragoncore, crowcore, ect)

Goblincore: Broken pieces of pottery, incomplete sets of silverware, cool plants (real and fake), Purposefully sloppy patchwork and repair jobs, fungi/ fungi themed items, bags of small shakeable objects (rocks, dice, teeth, chunky jewlery), playful wrestling, Baking, Shineys

Dragoncore: Mythology books/posters, journals full of pictures/poetry/ect about Folkloric/Mythological creatures and animals you think are cool, Gems and Jewlery (bonus points if kept in a really pretty/special box), Fancy Embroidery, themed outfits, throwing shade with your friends, Horde Piles

Crowcore: Small versions of normal objects, anything black/purple, bones, pelts, clothing that conceals your body shape, beads!!, Stickers to graffiti with, anything that covers up your face from the nose down, seed bombing, being mischievous, Nests (both for you and Your Things)

Koboldcore: Leather objects, crafted metal items, real and fake gems (the bigger the better), weird rocks, doing stupid stuff with The Squad, Well-made Hand-made items, layered clothing, fringe/bells on everything, Cooking, Giving the best Treasures to those you love
