i never quite finished and polished up my Glimmer cosplay, but I still wore it at three cons and had a lot of fun being a glittering princess of power <3

I'm running a DND game for a group of four teenagers and it's honestly the best thing ever? It gives me so much hope for the future! These kids are amazing.. sure they sometimes think in video game logic and want to loot and level up quickly, but who doesn't?

They also do incredibly kind things like trying to soothe a hungry owl bear that surprised the night watch at camp, because surely it's just hungry so I will cast speak with animals and explain to it that there are a few bandit corpses about half an hour down the road that are not infected with anything like other carrion might be because they died a mere hour ago. Or they free the trapped and (poorly) trained wolves in the goblin hideout and even ask the caretaker if they would like to join them because he really seems to care more about the wolves than any of the other goblins and then they let him run away as well..

Don't get me wrong, they are also incredibly brutal and love to throw a fireball into the dining hall at the goblin hideout, but these were confirmed murderers and slavers.. and the undead haunting the cemetery truly just didn't belong on earth anymore

there is just something so refreshing about these kids navigating the horrors of an adventurer's life especially in the combat heavy dnd and still keeping up some kind of morality and thinking about them as people instead of hindrances

And all the while they are being so wonderfully stupid and silly and creative! The parents rotate a carpool for me, so I get to talk to some of them before and/or after games and they tell me how the kids have changed so much in the past year that we have been playing - about the tall boy that turned quiet and slouched to be less visible and now stands straight again and speaks up against excluding teammates at soccer practice as he learns about taking up leadership as a silver Dragonborn that naturally towers over others but is adamant about helping those that are small and defenseless and helping the other party members to shine in their own way by protecting the squishy wizard long enough for him to cast. About the boy who discovered that he liked writing while describing the dope monk moves his character does in game and who is going all-in with descriptions and conversations at the table that he was too scared to do half a year ago because they might make him look weird or stupid.

It's not just about the role-playing either! I hear about the boy taking his ADHD meds and therapy more seriously because I openly talk about having to take my meds mid-game and addressing our shared symptoms and strengths (he has his Stressbälle and fidget tool with him at the table now and when I ask him to let the other players talk or take a minute longer for their decision because their brains are not overheating and double processing all the time like ours) and the tomboy girl letting her hair grow out because she realized that she doesn't have to choose between girly and boyish things because hobbies aren't gendered and if I can love dnd and football and still have flowers in my hair and wear makeup she might as well try everything she finds interesting instead of putting herself in other people's boxes!

Truly just inspiring and beautiful and insane how much it means to me to interact with the younger generation in this way and to see them blossom and bloom in such a way and knowing I had some kind of influence on their lives

one of my favorite looks from when i had my head shaved - and an outfit that i still wear quite often!

this is for my fellow Germans:

Mops-Geschwindigkeit!

Nach jahrelangem "das müssten wir eigentlich mal machen" sind wir (@hipsterfangirlfashion​) endlich als Crew der Traumschiff Surprise unterwegs gewesen!

Ich war Käpt'n Kork, mit @lovetrashcan​ als Spucky und @jennyallalong​ als Schrotty

for confused people: I think this trailer speaks for itself, even if you don't understand German, but tl;dr (tl;ds?dw?) it's a famous German parody trios second movie (first one was about westerns) and it is hilarious!
