BOO

Kobolds know that a necromancer's worst enemy is another necromancer. They also know that Halloween is the spookiest night of the year, so necromancers are bound to be out and about. To scare them away, they dress up as necromancers themselves.

Pretending to be a necromancer is hard work, though, so thoughtful adults provide treats and sweets for anyone helping to protect the city.

i remember sophist saying that he grew up in a strict catholic environment, and i don’t think that’s something he’s fully let go of yet.

i’m saying this a a queer catholic teen who’s been lucky enough to have a leftist family and to attend a parish with an lgbtq ministry and the strong belief in lgbtq rights. but i know that (at least in america) we’re in the minority of catholics in this regard, and it’s more than likely that sophist was raised in a more conservative household considering his mom wouldn’t let him play video games as a kid.

and i’m not saying this is an excuse bc it sure fucking isn’t. there’s a strong community of faithful queer leftist catholics on tumblr, and I don’t have any other social media, but I’m sure that there’s a presence on other sites. hell, vern was raised in a jewish-christian household and he’s obviously the most open about his leftist views. speaking of vern, he’s often made lighthearted jokes about polyamory (nothing derogatory) like in their 3d world playthrough, and sophist never batted an eye. but the moment a legitimate polyamorous relationship is introduced into his life, even if it’s through a video game? he immediately expresses disdain toward them. funny how that works.

idrk how to end this- i just wanted to be the one to pull the religion card bc i don’t trust tumblr users to be respectful about catholicism

I live in a extremely leftist town so I’ve personally always had cool realtionships with religious people

Being trans and lesbian. Didnt really matter to them.

One of my best friends was this form of Jewish I never really understood where she wasent allowed to celebrate her birthday. Gays were a no and trans defeintly not. But over the years she’s not only soften but came out as bisexual and dated a girl.

My grandma stout Christian and I told her I was lesbian and trans and she deadass told me she don’t care. No matter what religious person I told they just said they were happy I was in their lives no matter gender.

Usually with religious people they’ll be really cool about alot if stuff but wierdly hateful of like one thing. My old religious coworker asks me how me and my gf are doing. And tell me a younge lady shouldent be alone at night and I should get a ride home. But I implied my male cousin should get a Barbie doll and he said that thinking was devils work.

So despite growing up atheist (my entire family was christan but I didn’t belive it and they told me that’s fine. So I wasent forced to do church stuff) I have very postive experiences with religious people. Of all religions.

But I do know that some Christian’s deadass about that stuff. No gays, no trans, no gender nonconforming, nothing they think the Bible dosent allow. And from the way sophist talks about his childhood it does seem like that’s how he was raised.

Moving to la. And (if were being deadass) being best friends with vernias and other queer people prob what helped him undo alot of that bigoted nonsense but hes clearly not finished with the undoing work. The viseral disdain he had towards the poly people in a goddam video game isent just regular polyphobia it’s some deeper beliefs about what relationships are “right” and “wrong”. My religious friend actually brought that up to me when we discussed this in private.

But at the same time like hes 27 in a liberal city with queer friends like you gotta hurry that growth tf up. Its 2025 theres no reason for you to still think that any relationship between consenting adults can be wrong. When you been outta your parents house able to play video games for goddam years.

I know tinder not in the Bible either.

Like if he need to talk to somebody nick grew up Christian too. Idk what type nick grew up with but either the conservative or progressive branch of religion would be useful to talk to when it comes to unlearning harmful ideas.

But is he gonna do that? Or is he gonna ignore it and hope everyone moves on like he does everything.

Rather rot in that room then grow as a person
