About Me

Hello! I’ve been here a bit but I figured maybe I should actually introduce myself. 

My name is Tessa, I use she/they pronouns ( please do not call me girl ) 

I am a capricorn, bisexual, and neurodivergent (specifically autistic/adhd)

I like, comment, and follow from my main @margoshansons and I use this blog for mostly D&D, Dimension 20/Dropout, Critical Role, and WorldsBeyondNumber content. 

I try to tag spoilers as much as I can as well as the shows I watch, currently watching Neverafter and using #neverafter spoilers.

I write a lot of fan fiction, especially OC fan fiction, and this blog also houses my dnd ocs and provides a way for me to share that content with you

Please feel free to send me asks about anything, I love discussing characters, plots, and just good old Dungeons and Dragons with people!

Most of my big revelations/metas happen in the tags so keep an eye out!

Thank you for visiting, love and appreciate you!

The Shores of Will ( 1/? )

Gale Dekarios/Original Female Character

She was trapped. A prisoner in the caged bars of her mind, once a tenant now relegated to a squatter. She tried to move her arm. Pain shot through her temple. Her eye twitched yet again and she swore she could feel something wriggle into the bowels of her body.

Panic threatened to wake her.

She was no longer at the helm.

Brennan: your 20 did not allow you to successfully hide. so go ahead and roll damage without sneak attack

Honored to be able to see Brennan’s last D20 live show before he pursues his dreams

[youarealwaysontime]

do you guys ever think about how Brennan doesn't include bigotry into his worlds and stories UNLESS they are requested or canonized by his players? like with pete in unsleeping city, we deal with his transphobic dad/peers but this is only because ally wrote it into pete's story. sam nightingale is trans, and we see her deal with transphobia from her label, her agent, her mother, etc., but that was sepphie's choice to include that part of the story. kristen is a lesbian and the church of helio being homophobic is part of her story that ally wanted to include.

in comparison, think about characters like riva or fig or timothy or so many others, where their identities are never relevant in any sort of homophobic or transphobic way. they just are. these are queer characters that don't face the same kind of institutionalized bigotry because unless they are important to a character's backstory and made canon by that character's player, brennan does not include it.

the reason i felt like pointing this out is bc I feel like there is a huge population of the d&d/ttrpg community that feel like the only way to make a story or setting "real" is to incorporate real-life or real-world issues into their fictional worlds. which, in some cases, does work. but they are not the only way to do it, and to do it without permission from the pc's that will suffer from it is just cruel and unnecessary. idk. just makes me smile to think about how much of a nonissue representation and queer stories are in d20

he doesn't fuck around with his representation. and I love to see it. there are a bunch of other examples that I'm just not thinking about right now so shout them out in the tags if you think of them :)

I'm going to say that it's valid to not like or not want to consume Misfits and Magic, but i also feel that treating it as if Aabria and Co are doing a Harry Potter spinoff with She Who Must Not Be Platformed's blessing, is just a tad disingenuous

[say-hi-intrepid-heroes]

more than a tad. that's downright wrong and disrespectful.

[re-reclass]

In the Adventuring Parties for the original season, they straight up looked at the camera and all yelled “FUCK TERFS”.

Given things have only gotten worse since then I’m sure they’re aware of the optics and is why, judging from the S2 trailer, it looks to have evolved beyond being a HP parody. They clearly know what they’re doing and aren’t platforming JKR.

People flinching at "Make sure to chop his head off so he can't be revivified" and acting like it's a wildly too brutal or somehow out of character (???) thing for Riz to say are weak and have forgotten our roots

Do y'all not remember shooting Biz's fingers off one by one? Do you not remember "Take his eye!!! Do you want it? I'll bite it out for you!"

Our special boy has always been an unhinged little violent maniac, and frankly? Good for him! 💗 That's my favorite guy!
