#act as if he were bad at it either

[fucktheroyals]

I just want a dreamling fic of Hob getting Dream to do terribly human and mundane things. Sometimes Hob's just inviting Dream to do something he was already going to do. Sometimes Hob realizes Dream hasn't done something boring human thing and wants Dream to do it so bad. Sometimes Hob doesn't know whether Dream has done a boring human thing before but he just wants to see Dream doing it. It'd be so cute if whenever Hob doesn't have access to something, upon becoming better and better at navigating the dreaming, he just dreams up the situation there.

—OKAY WAIT THIS LITERALLY JUST FLEW INTO MY HEAD!!! Okay, you know how wives sometimes go with their husband's to golf courses and they literally just sit in the cart. CAN YOU IMAGINE— Dream's with Hob at Hob's place of work and Hob's coworkers/work friends invite Hob to play golf with them and Hob agrees for whatever reason and then Hob's work friends invite Dream along too and Hob didn't even think about it but now he NEEDS Dream to go and Dream reluctantly agrees. In true wifey fashion Dream shows up in full golf attire like he's going to play but just sits in the cart the entire time. I think it could be hilarious.

#I just want scenes of Dream being ///Hob's/// boyfriend/husband/lover #sometimes without him actually being Hob's yet #(for anyone wondering if the wifes do anything else while sitting in the cart. they watch their husbands play and slide into the driver's #seat when their husbands tell them to bring the cart over 👀) #I used to work on a golf course is why I know this. they honest to god looked like they were going to play but never leave the car. I would #need to figure out if they were playing bc I needed to know if they were going to hit or if I could continue working or not #In true Dream fashion he would know everything going on and how to do it but he wouldn't want to upstage Hob and I'm sure he wouldn't wanna #act as if he were bad at it either #I gotta write this fic man jeez. it twirls in my brain constantly. #dreamling #we've gone from conceivably cute and soft fic to dipping our toe into the crack fic waters but no fear all fics I write are crack #at least a little bit

well mark that down as situation 2938489 that I don't know how to handle

#i would love advice on this if y'all have any thoughts to share because i know what my parents think and im having trouble sorting it out #i love these three friends of mine but it is really draining to be around them now because all they will talk about is church drama #(re: our old church) and rehashing it all and being Outraged about the horrors etc etc #either that or being downright condescending about protestants/non denominations and acting like it's funny to talk like that all the time #i end up being more angry or resentful or exasperated at the end of our conversations than glad and at peace like i did before #(before all THIS ish happened and the three of them were like okay this is all we're going to talk about now) #i've tried to say in gentle ways (i am simply not capable of this kind of blunt confrontation) that maybe we should not be talking #so uncharitably towards other people especially behind their backs. like. yes bad things happened. we have to acknowledge that. #but continually making jokes and jibes at a priest's expense really rubs me the wrong way especially since i KNOW that he loves us #and in many ways was trying his best in the circumstances. and are we not supposed to be loving our neighbour #and is this not downright slander to keep going on this way esp since it goes on for HOURS at a time #anyway i don't know what to DO because if i keep chatting with them/meeting up with them conversation will be 90% this thing and i Hate It #but on the other hand i feel responsibility towards them because my godson's one of them and another is a friend who is a fairly recent #convert and if i leave them to stew in their own echo chamber i doubt it'll do them good #am i supposed to keep some distance? am i supposed to keep arguing whenever one of them says something unkind or inflammatory? #am i supposed to keep speaking up so that they hear a different perspective? am i supposed to run in the other direction for my own peace o #mind? anyway i am still thinking this over and it stresses me OUT #it used to be fun and life giving to be around these people and now it is so exhausting and seriously alarming in many ways

Okay, DL!Scott, here comes the promised rant. (p.s., Scar, if you're feeling nice, do you think your Watcher powers could override Scott? I feel like Pearl might need to hear at least some of this)

OKAY!

Pearl didn't mean to leave Scott. She was genuinely looking, and ran into almost nobody. She went to the nether with Martyn because he was the only person she could find, and they wanted to find some stuff for their soulmates. MARTYN was the one running into danger, while Pearl tried to play it as safe as you can in the Nether. Her main focus was getting mushrooms so they could heal any damage. Whenever she did take damage she instantly started shoving food in her mouth while yelling sorry to the air, because even though she knew that her unknown soulmate couldn't hear her, she was still so genuinely sorry. Martyn started pushing to go into a bastion, and she was the one to point out that maybe that wasn't a smart idea. When she and Martyn came back to the overworld, she was excited for like .2 seconds, because while they were angry and Martyn she was happy! Because Cleo and Scott and her were together again! And then it dawned on her that they were leaving her too. When, while I'm sure it looked different from Scott's pov, from her perspective her only crime was going with Martyn, let me reiterate the only other person she could find.

And then Martyn turns around and says "I'm breaking up with you too." And then Ren banishes her from Box calling her a demoness. And then Tilly, the only living thing on that server that had showed her any kindness, died in front of her eyes. Of course she went mad. She wasn't just the crazy ex girlfriend, she was a hurt and lonely and grieving girl who had just watched the only person she cared about die.

And you have the nerve to call her the ignorant one? She is the one that's in the wrong here?

.

You're the least likable version of Scott, you know that? You call the others, who are all much better fighters than you according to the statistics, weak because they were attached. Yeah, maybe you weren't married, maybe you didn't have quite the same relationship as the three G's, maybe you didn't have an ally that you allowed to kill you because you were going to die anyways and if anyone is going to get your time it's them. But you did have Cleo. Don't act like you're above attachments. In the one game where you were supposed to have partners, the single game where the mechanic was designed so that nobody would end up alone, you pushed Pearl away. Martyn and Cleo became on at least decent terms towards the end, you and Pearl did not. No matter how much Pearl wanted to. You went against all of that. And still you think that you are somehow better than the others?? No wonder the Watchers hate you.

You're a b*tch, DL!Scott. I hope you know that

-Luna

(wow that was impressive)

#asks #trafficblr #author answers #/Well that was what more or less what I expected/ #/Of course Pearl is oh so sad and the victim of big bad Scott and Ren and Martyn and Cleo but... you don't seem to understand I don't care #/I can't say that I enjoyed her being miserable either of course because I literally couldn't care less/ #/As for Cleo?

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

nah but like

they're "seiros lapdogs" because they're fighting back against the people who attacked them completely unprovoked??? also because it so happens that thales is at garreg mach so they have to go there to reclaim the area to defeat him???

i just hate this because it's just perpetuating things about faerghus and its people that just aren't true. it frames it like they jumped into the war willingly for the church and that they're only here for the church. like nah buddy, it's not faerghus' fault you're out here fighting to protect thales and ludwig.

it also is batshit to me how he and leopold are fighting to stop faerghus from advancing but like... they know what's happening to the empire and that edelgard isn't even calling the shots anymore, yet they still stupidly fight for the very person who is literally razing their country and burning their villages. they know the empire is in shambles and that the kingdom isn't targeting them and is specifically aiming for gm to get it back from who? thales; who, mind, at this point is in his real form and not posing as arundel anymore. everything is laid out plainly, but they still act like faerghus is the bad guy.

but yeah, okay. faerghus BaD for defending themselves, fighting back, finding out who is behind all the puppeteering and heading to take him out. sure, that makes them seiros lapdogs. like what are you, an agarthan mouthpiece??? may as well be like yeah you go retreat and leave you agarthan lapdog. if they don't realize it's Someone Else in charge of course, then ludwig lapdog works fine too.

and it sucks because other than this shit, i like waldemar just fine as a character. it's just like, it feels like they forced someone to have to stick in that final faerghus BaD insult before the grand finale so they just randomly picked someone to remind us that faerghus is Always Wrong as long as they continue to fight back and prevent being attacked in the future.

waldemar here is just basically ag caspar. fighting and risking his life for thales, who is destroying the empire and basically holding the emperor hostage. if the writing here had any decent plot points, they would've all stopped and have been like hey wait, shouldn't we be fighting to get our emperor back? why are we stopping these guys from killing the people who are destroying this country?

and like, they literally went from siding with ludwig during the insurrection to siding with edelgard in this timeline to... jumping immediately back to ludwig as soon as he was at the top of the food chain (thales notwithstanding). as soon as the person in charge changes, they jump ship immediately; then of course get mad that the people they attacked are coming after them... and fighting them as they defend the very people who are letting adrestia become a literal, physical ruin.

it really just tells me that these people don't care about adrestia itself, but status, power and wealth. they don't care about the country itself as long as they're doing well. that's like, the only thing i can get from still fighting with/for ludwig/thales. the fact that they just fight for ludwig again as soon as edelgard is out of commission is also pretty gross to me. they have no loyalty at all.

and it's like, i want to like waldermar and leopold, but they come across as just selfish, entitled and only there for their own asses to be covered. and i get that - that is a realistic take on politicians, but the fact that the game regularly loops back around to faerghus BaD despite that and despite portraying these people as opportunistically selfish is like... what are they even trying to write??

#DCB Three Hopes Run #ah yes. the hours i wait for to post this stuff. #it's like whenever i finally find an adrestian character i like they have them spew some bs like this #or in ferdie's case i loved him and hopes made him another edelgard simp instead of like #the one person around her who contested her views and BLATANTLY OUTRIGHT told her "you're wrong'' #but ofc yes edelgardwash him bc that's too extreme in a fodlan game #and in this case with waldemar it's not EVEN edelgard. it's just ''faerghus evil for trying to retake gm'' #''we attacked gm and won so it's OURS now the ppl who lived there first don't matter anymore'' #''what do you mean it's being held by a threat to all of us? no such thing only you are a threat'' #literally like they either killed off the adrestians offscreen or made them stupid as fuck just to have you #fight named characters. like if leopold KNOWS all of this then why is he STILL fighting and acting like it's for adrestia #when his actions in that moment were actively HARMING adrestia? #but yet somehow it like I said loops back to faerghus bad... but yet the writing in general #does portray faerghus as doing the right thing... and then has other characters insist they're bad #and so much so like they're purposely shoving it in your face TO believe it #it's like saying someone helped save a village from destruction and protected all the children in a safe shelter #but a bunch of characters say those ppl are evil and it keeps pressing and pushing that statement OVER and over #like rly what are you trying to write with this? i love ag but the last few chapters are just like #wow how dare you try to kill ludwig the one true future of adrestia who is being puppeteered by thales. like. okay.

And Another Thing it's not like i Don't like roygarth or that i'm particularly Against the ship cause no. but i think their canon relationship is so much more interesting than this weird fanon version of them where they were always Best Buds.

like canon roygarth starts with them being angsty teens dealing with their own shit and fully refusing to understand each other. garth latches on to everyone who's even a Little nice to him and roy is stuck in his I Don't Need Friends They Disappoint Me stage. roy also has very high standards for himself and gets pissy with garth cause he feels like garth shouldn't be a hero. which obviously sets garth off because he Also feels like he shouldn't be a hero but the other titans were usually supportive and understanding whereas roy would actually say it and insult him directly.

And Then garth fucks off and only talks to the titans when they talk to him first, then he's Fine Again but goes through Rough Shit. meanwhile roy's life is Also falling apart. but they get older and they get more mature and they get to this point in their life where they don't Want to fight each other anymore. the titans are their home and they're constantly losing people and they don't Want to lose what little they have left. but they also won't apologize or talk about what happened because they're both emotionally repressed so they just never clear shit up.

it's obvious that later on roy Does respect garth and Does see him as a hero, but he never apologizes for what he said in the past so garth still has doubts. and garth starts to gradually leave the titans out of stuff and only update them once a fucking year so roy is like ?? What Are We??? and as adults you can see that playful banter and that familiarity they have with each other and yeah it IS genuine but it's also burying all the blood bad they never actually sorted.

they're just in this really weird zone where they're Family but they're not Friends. they would give their life for the other but they never talk. they pretend to understand the other but they don't know anything going on in their life. they're best friends and they're just some guys. like imo their canon relationship is so interesting and has So Many Layers that really highlight their individual problems but the fanon version is always like "yeah sometimes they sass each other :)". like.

#yeah im still thinking about them what of it what are you gonna do about it #ajhdgljagd #like i think its so interesting how they really only became 'friends' because theyre so familiar with each other despite not being close #like roy is Not close with garth in the same way that he's close with dick #and vice versa hell man garth feels more comfortable with Wally The Republican than with roy #but theyve known each other for So Long and theyve both lost so much that they just can't do it anymore #they can't fight they can't insult they can't force themselves to not understand the other #but neither of them want to bring that shit up either so they just... start acting like they were always buds #and its Weird and Awkward #roy still doesn't understand what jokes are okay and garth still takes things way too literally #but they're Trying and they do respect the other but they also REFUSE to actually talk it out #they both refuse to talk about their personal lives with the other and only give the most bare basic necessities #garth still has insecurities and feels like roy actually hates him and doesn't want him there #roy still feels bad but is also still burned from garth being too nosy or not understanding his addiction #and like. that's just so much more interesting than yeah sometimes roy calls garth a fish hahah funny right #dc #garth of shayeris

so wait… furina is the name of the archon role that “furina” had to play

wouldn’t make more sense narrative wise to give her a name of her own?? like scara gets his own epic chapter about him ridding himself of his past and adopting a new name then proceed to ignore said name in favor of “hat guy” but the actress playing “furina” doesn’t get to be known for her own name?

like people of fontain (partly maybe) know the truth so why not let her free? let her enjoy the simple human life she so so longed for? even the other furina wouldn’t want this

#i think her story is a better use of the (give character name) mechanic that wasn’t really needed in scara’s arc imo #like yeah it’s cool and all but we literally saw him throw the actual physical manifestation of his past into the fucking void!!! #i personally think it was kind of wasted on him on top of me thinking that idea was entirely stupid to begin with and hyv keeps proving tha #no one actually refers to him as wanderer or by the name they choose online.. its just scara #thats both bad marketing and confusing burying the character away from new players #and like the amount of shit u have to go through as a new player just to name ur weird huge hat angry little dude is just.. #but imagine how impactful such a mechanic would be for ‘furina’ who spent all her live acting a role she wasn’t #at the end of all that agony do u think she could endure hearing people call her by that name?? #unlike scara she did that for the people every moment of those 500 years knowing that the fate of every person is mere a breakdown away #there was nothing in that for her or for a reward she thought deserved.. just suffering on her own #it just makes more sense for her to want a different name a different identity that has nothing to do with that role #and again i think that mechanic is stupid anyway but if it had to happen i’d loved it more with ‘furina’ #or idk give her like a clueless friend she gets to meet that keeps calling her a different name for reasons and her liking the name or smth #maybe give her a different role she gets to play.. or have neuvillette give her a name #same with scara i think it would have been a lot better if he went by a name he choose when all his previous names were chosen for him #i dont see how the entirety of genshin writers and devs agreed to this mechanic being implemented honestly #like traveler is literally there waiting for a single soul to address them by their actual name (the one we choose) but every time it’s jus #traveler traveler.. even their most beloved companion calls them traveler #like that alone should've changed the writers minds bc such a name would 1. either not ever be used or replaced by a nickname #2. the hell devs had to go through to not allow certain phrases and names and 3. the hell both teams will suffer should they add a new char #tl;dr stupid dumb mechanic but they should still give furina a new name #genshin impact #furina #fontaine archon quest #scaramouche

people really need to start treating janitors and housekeepers better neither profession is ‘dirty’ and the way i have heard people talking about that line of work is disgusting

#as a Latina woman i have heard alllllll the stereotypes abt how it’s my place/my relatives place to be cleaning ladies #that isn’t my job — not that i would mind either career it’s just not where the cards led me #but it’s so?? insane to me that people act like it’s a bad thing #as if your worth can be measured by your career and even if that were true there is nothing wrong with it #one of my relatives was a school janitor for over 20 years — he loved his job and felt good abt keeping things clean #but ppl constantly disrespected him for it #even some of our other relatives who were much better off #it just. really drives me crazy. #🐈‍⬛

AU where Wukong didn't kill macaque (i know, hear me out) and it was a long play by LBD to get Macaque on her side or smth. And Macaque fell for it despite being a master of illusions himself...maybe LBD used the shadows against him? 🤔still playing around with that

anyway, Macaque eventually realizes this after LBD dies and now he's awkwardly got to apologize to wukong about it, but Wukong wants nothing to do with him because he's deeply hurt that Macaque thought he did that.

then: Macaque awkwardly hanging around Wukong and trying to get back into his good graces only for Wukong to blow up at him and vent his hurt and frustrations and macaque is just...really regretful

they eventually make up or whatever, but i saw someone mention they like the flavor of "macaque hanging around wukong, and wukong wants nothing to do with him" and i was like yeah, that'd be easy to make an AU for because there's nothing too complex going on LMFAO

#if this were to be an actual thing from me it'd be called #dust au #but idk when i was typing this out i thought 'hmm i don't actually like this' #idk why LMFAOOOO #it could work but something about things playing out /this/ way doesn't seem right to me #i think i can only get with the 'macaque is a little annoying shit to wukong' if they both legitimately did bad things to each other. #hmm don't like that either LMFAO #maybe because macaque can be a little annoying shit to wukong even if wukong killed him LMFAO #like!! i don't think the petty fighting and macaque desperately wanting wukong's attention is specifically tied #to events having to play out a specific way #in constellations macaque is constantly a little shit. like he wants to hurt wukong sure but he also wants to annoy him #he wants wukong's attention /no matter what/ #no matter the au #so i guess it feels disingenuous to be like 'macaque only acts like this in this specific case!' nah #that's just his character #and if macaque is enough of a little shit. then wukong will start walking away

#my favorite on first listen #i need to go back through the whole thing again but 95% of the time the album does exactly what it should #in terms of sounding like a txt album and doing the kind of experimental stuff a minisode should do #as a whole i like it and the aesthetic better than the last album #however i think the killa shouldn't have made it to the album idc #literally two days ago people were saying a zionist was involved in producing it and now it's all yayyy ~sex~ song #like it sounds generic and it doesn't go with the plot of the album and soobin has literally talked before about being oversexualized... #...making him uncomfortable and everyone just ignores stuff like that bc everyone acts like the second you don't make a idol sexy the... #...second they 'turn legal' that they're 'grown ass men' you're infantilizing #like. idk how to explain to you how annoying it is just to define being an adult by having sex like it's not universal 😭 #i don't even mean to say this in some kind of puritan censorship kind of way it's just annoying to view adulthood just as sex time? #especially in this situation this is his job 😭 he's at work 😭 #and everyone being like but this song sounds gay 🥺 well a zionist produced it i'm so glad you have moral standards #it isn't inherently infantilizing to not talk about sex or to not have sex either that's such an annoying marker of adulthood #and this little prince concept is so unique and interesting just to toss in a generic ass song #like stick to what makes txt unique and stop trying to make broad appeal music #they took me out with all of the bad collaborations last year like just stooooppp #especially when you hear members say they only get to make music that's their own personal taste sometimes like let them have more voice!!!! #anyway 😭 #music

Like I love to criticize jjk as much as the next person but all these really annoying ppl who are saying the series is bad because characters are dying…… 1. Grow up. 2. Why in fresh fucking hell did you EVER think everyone was gonna make it to the end of this series

#I 100% get having issues with HOW characters died #like I’m still pissed about everything regarding yuki’s death #and while I wanted Gojo to die I also wasn’t satisfied with the death we got #but like…. to act like the series is bad BECAUSE these characters are dying and not HOW they’re dying #how are you missing the series core themes….. #how are you missing that the point was that everyone was gonna die #like either yuuji was gonna die to solidify that Gojo and megumi failed #or Gojo and megumi were gonna die so yuuji is cursed to living knowing HE failed #like I just always acknowledged???? that was the direction the series was going????? #so to see people get GENUINELY PISSED that characters are dying and yuuji will almost certainly end the series unhappy…. #like I do not know how to tell you that was always gonna be the point….. #and if you thought the series was meant to have an overly happy ending you were NOT paying close enough attention #like it’s not a happy story? it hasn’t been at any point? #why would it END happy it would feel so out of place? #idk it’s just confusing to me #like by all means criticize it the series fucking needs it #but you are complaining about the wrong fucking things #idk this also might be my thing where if ppl genuinely get so attached to characters that you get unreasonably angry when they die #and can’t ackowledge that sometimes it makes more sense narratively for them to die #to the point where you like throw fucking fits about it…. #I dunno….. I think you just need to take a step back #or at least know yourself well enough to not get into media where it’s obvious characters are gonna drop like flies 🤷🏼‍♀️ #like I get major character death isn’t for everyone and that’s fine #but if it viscerally upsets you to that point #yeah…. yeah I think you need to take it upon yourself to avoid stories that are obviously gonna contain it like idk #kaz rambles

i watched the 2007 rgg movie tonight just to see what its like and i have a lot to say about it but for now i just doodled my favorite scene bc i could not handle it

#ryu ga gotoku #yakuza #overall my thoughts about it were that it was very funny but mostly in the ways it wasnt supposed to be #the casting was.... mostly bad honestly #kiryu's actor's face made me SO MAD he just pissed me off every time i saw him #he looked like some slick asshole i hated him #he didnt move or emote like kiryu either like that was straight up a different man #majima looked... not good. and sounded worse. BUT. his actor really fucking gave it his all #he was acted very well and conveyed majima perfectly i think. many good majima moments this was but one of them #funniest part by far was the nishiki reveal tho. MY GOD. he looked SO EXCEPTIONALLY BAD. #i was laughing for five solid minutes i had to pause and take a picture #my cheeks fucking hurt laughing at nishiki. dear lord. im very sorry to his actor he just. LOOKED. REALLY BAD. SORRY. #there were also so many random people i spent half the movie going who the FUCK is that?? #overall it was like. if you never played the game you wouldnt understand it. #if you DID play the game.... you wouldnt understand it. also you would hate it. #who was this for??? idk. but im glad i watched it. #actually the throat-sitting scene singlehandedly saved the entire movie. my god. holy fuck. holy shit. oh my god. #they should do that in the game. ill combust into flames. #ok thats all <3

Thinking about that "If K*ylo R*n were a woman everything would be better and this character would have worked" post, but after some consideration...I genuinely would have still hated this character.

Like...Idk maybe there's something to be said for the still-subversive nature of characters like this being allowed to be horrible women, but I don't hate this character because he's horrible, or even because he exemplifies a bunch of things in fiction I'm tired of seeing, I hate him because he doesn't feel fully-formed as a character to me and I don't think the movies know what they're trying to accomplish with him from a narrative standpoint (which are, imo, the biggest Story Sins a writer can commit). All of which would still hold true if this character were a woman.

#I WILL say. this character wouldn't be as popular as they are (and they ARE popular. fandom is not just limited to pockets of tumblr) if #they were a woman. nor would The Popular Ship be r*ylo. that's not me scaremongering about misogyny that's just. true. #we have SEEN that be true again and again and again #the OTHER thing about this character is that...I feel like he was MEANT to come across as #'he's so tortured and pained and complicated' but then they never did anything to SHOW ME THAT COMPLEXITY #if I look at like...(idk using another Tortured Male Character Who Did Bad Things) Theon. I can get from point a to point b with him. #I SEE the things that influenced him and I SEE how he got to a point where he thought acting the way he did was the only way forward. #I do not see that with. the other guy (sorry I am trying SO hard to make sure this doesn't accidentally end up in the character tag) #you either need to show me where the 'horrible'-ness comes from or you need to commit to the character just choosing to be horrible #not every character needs to have some Deep Reason Why they do what they do (like they can literally just be evil it's fine) but you can't #try to convince me there IS a Deep Reason Why and then NOT EVER SHOW ME THAT REASON #they (meaning sequel trilogy) like...sort of tried? a little? I guess? but the 'trying' was...barely anything and then they #didn't ever fully COMMIT to it. #THAT'S the problem I have. #(the 'not following through on alleged complexity' is also one of the big problems I have with [character I also hate but whose #name I'm not saying for reasons of self-preservation]) #and yeah maybe because of Subconscious Bias they WOULDN'T have been so wishy-washy on how Deep or sympathetic™ this character's #motivations were if they'd been a woman maybe they really WOULD have just made her straight-up evil with no Underlying Reason #(which yeah that WOULD have worked better for me I think?) but if we are saying 'this character is exactly the same but a woman' #.......no sorry. unfortunately a female character I can't defend this time. #(and I DID think about this. like 'do I hate this character due to a knee-jerk reaction toward men--even fictional ones--I consider to be #threatening/because he reminds me of people I don't like irl' or 'do I prioritize Hating Men' but...no I truly would just #hate this character regardless) #like I really do think my biggest pet peeve is when the story/creator themselves tries to hit me over the head with 'this character is #so COMPLICATED and DEEP and PSYCHOLOGICALLY INTRICATE' and then not ever actually PROVING that to me

I need to confess something so I’m gonna put it in the tags and hope that nobody who Knows will see dhsksj

#THIS ISNT BAD OR DRAMA OR DISCOURSE OR ANYTHING this is me being like teehee I did something I’m not supposed to #anyway my latest dnd group is like a subset of an existing discord #so our dm created a thread so he can talk about campaign spoilers with the rest of the server #without us players seeing it #but secretly ………….. I check the tag regularly #IM CAREFUL THO about things #I only look at spoilers that pertain either to myself or the campaign at large #I DONT LOOK at anything to do with the other players and their backstories #(okay I did see ……….. one thing I’m not supposed to) #(but I PROMISE I can keep the secret! I can act like I don’t know!) #AND LIKE OKAY TO BE FAIR ALSO a lot of what I’ve seen is stuff that’s like. well I do not know what this means because I don’t have context #or like ‘here’s an npc that is blorbo’ #and since it’s a pre written module that I haven’t read but others in the thread have #the dm doesn’t expand on it so I don’t know what they’re talking about anyway! #and there were a few things I snooped on they went and later told me about privately anyway so y’know what. that’s fine dhsksjsh #I’m just a nosy person who enjoys spoilers okay and I don’t think I’ve done anything that’ll ruin things for me #OR ANYONE ELSE because despite appearances I CAN keep a secret #(okay the thing I know about another character would’ve been a really interesting reveal if I didn’t know) #(but since I do I can consider it. dramatic irony! for me and me alone mwahahaha) #delete later
