Omg Reef!! Same kink, what the heck!? That's wild! 🤣 I will be happy to provide you tword drow content!!! I also have had Lee! Human brainrot. Once I get my side blog all transferred so it's a main please send me tword related asked about bg3 and dnd races! Can't believe I literally started a Bully drow tword fic cause I got inspired only to come back to this after getting embarrassed and stopping cause I thought it was too self indulgent.

I write exclusively x reader for my stuff and often it's got elements of self insert because I write for comfort. From really obscure fandoms like Creepypasta or Angels of Death to just being out there concept wise. Please, don't feel ashamed! This community is such a chill place, genuinely, and we'd love to have you!

Author; you're genuinely so great! Please keep being you and writing what makes you happy! Thank you for being so accepting btw 😅 Very used to being judged or people being weirded out, so I appreciate you more than you know.

Hope your side effects get better soon; make sure to stay hydrated! I'm also sick Atm- COVID's a bitch and my Mom who's a travel nurse had a patient who tested positive after she treated him so it was inevitable. Taking Nyquil and Dayquil sucks- I have to work myself up to taking the liquid every time because I can't take large pills but that stuff is nasty haha.

Anyway! Forgive my rambling I just wasn't expecting to check back at your blog and low-key get called out 😅 -S

I hope you have a safe recovery! Make sure to rest well and yeah taking a lot of meds really sucks and ruins one's appetite so fast.

Thank you for this sweet message <3 I hope Reef sees it.

Alrighty. I collected all my posts about my burgeoning horror story under the same tag. (Just calling it that until I have an actual title of sorts.) And here I’m dumping all the brainstorming and shit posts I made about it on my priv Twitter so I have them all in one place and can see the progression of it.

It still hasn’t quite come together, but I’m having fun poking at it.

*steeples fingers* I should make a horror story

Well, technically the haunted amusement park thing is, but it's more comedic. It's about two security guards who work the nightshift at an amusement park and have to contend with ghosts, possessed animatronics, and serial killers.

One is an engineering student and robot/monsterfucking horror fan who's having the time of her life, and the other is a very nice girl who recently was moved to this position as punishment by her shitty boss and has no idea beforehand what goes on at night.

The first girl has a pet domesticated fox who might be a former witch's familiar. Still not sure what's happening with that.

But it's just dumb and silly and gay and spooky and maybe gory, and might be part of a larger setting that includes a library with a history of cult activity and a night shift crew at a 24hr grocery store who protect their town from monsters and the end of the world.

Birget and Simon are well-suited to horror, but I can never quite pin their story down. It's more on the supernatural side, too. And then there's a set of characters that I've put in both a DnD-like vampire setting and a magic girl/urban fantasy horror one.

But I feel like I want a more... grounded universe to play in? Or at least a more slasher-styled story. Hmm.

What if I made a story that's to Saw what Scream is to slasher movies? 🤔

But then I'd have to actually watch the Saw movies. Ugh.

I just like the idea of like... a Saw story in a world where the Saw movies exist. Someone who got inspired and tried to be a Jigsaw figure would probably be some judgmental anti-vaxxing asshole and also would be really, really BAD at it.

Who the hell is gonna have the ridiculous varied expertise and connections to pull some Jigsaw shit off? No one!

I like... characters... that wear animal ear hats…

Am I making a new character that wears one? Ooh, mysterious~

What's better? A wolf-eared hoodie or a wolf ear hat?

This character is a grown person, btw. You're never too old in your heart for animal ear accessories.

I think this is my horror protag

What if I went full 14-year-old girl and made an Easton expy for my horror protag to gently romance?

My horror story has only the vaguest concept and the vaguest idea of a cast, but it sure does have a song already.

It's “Death Valley” by Fall Out Boy.

I should get back to my horror protag and crafting a little meow meow for them.

Protag doesn't even have a name yet. I've been calling them Wolf in my head 'cause of the hat.

They'll be about as self-insert as I can comfortably get. Which isn't much, but I'm trying to expand my comfort zone.

Horror protag isn't so much a self-insert as they are my raging id personified.

I need to stop finding songs for Wolfy, they don't even have a name or motivation or an actual plot.

What I know about Wolfy so far:

33 years old

Works in a comic shop (assistant manager?)

They/She/He

Probably has liquified gummy candy in their veins instead of blood

Monsterfucker

Only takes off the hat to shower

Wolfy has Shane Madej's aggressive disrespect for ghosts and monsters while wholeheartedly believing in and liking them.

They just wanna start some shit.

"LET'S FUCKING GO, MOTHMAN!"

"BEST ME NOW IN COMBAT OR SUBMIT AND BE MY BRIDE!"

Ghosts and monsters are much more fun than masked serial killers and septic death traps.

Hotter, too.

Easton expy might be the only one actually initially injured. For the sole purpose of being able to provide comfort.

I mean I have potential plot reasons for it but it's mostly to fuss over him.

Very tempted to call my horror story (or at least the first part of it, depending) "Little Pig, Little Pig."

🎵🎶Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, the big bad wolf, the big bad wolf?🎶🎵

Wolfy vibes are like... "What's My Age Again?" by blink-182 but it's 33 instead of 23.

On the one hand, I want to make goofy stories about weirdos dealing with lots of different horror genres.

On the other, I want to make an at least semi-thoughtful deconstruction of Saw that leans heavily on the idealistic side of the scale and works under the belief that people are basically good and want to help each other.

Wolfy might have a real name.

Bellamy Logan

Lam

Though some other characters probably do call them Wolfy at least once.

Not sure if the cast of my horror story should know each other at all or be complete strangers at the start.

I barely have my horror cast imagined, and I'm already pairing them off.

Spoiler alert: Nobody's straight

Bellamy is my little snarl snarl.

Small and ready to brawl.

Not sure if anyone has ever asked u this but I'm curious, what inspired you to create adri and mimics :0? Absolutely adore you and your characters and art btw :") 👌🏽

i think ive mentioned this before but the idea for adri actually came from a dream i had :> i still remember it perfectly but yeah thats where my first draft for him/his story came from. ive just been tweaking it since then

as for the mimics when i was still developing him a while back i didnt know what the fuck i could call him? cause i had no idea. id just made this oc without a single monster or anything in mind, it was smth completely new for me. the only thing i knew from the start was that he pretended to be human and eventually at some point the word ‘mimic’ popped into my head and i couldnt shake it off cause it just fit really perfectly

“he’s a mimic”

now i know that mimics are originally from dnd yeah but theyre just limited to chests and i thought hey maybe they could be Other Things too and just went ‘its free real estate’. its most definitely not an original concept by any means but yeah thats basically how the whole thing went along and ive been developing them since

the other mimics i made were originally a lot more sinister but i couldnt make that work for adri himself (so then whats the point??) and i changed them accordingly recently so i can make him fit there but im most likely going to bring back their older concept for another set of different monsters :3c

#mimic stuff #i guess?? h #man. looking back its so wild how things have changed tbh #also heres a fun fact that i love to mention #after i woke from the dream i tried to design adri #but i did it so fucking BADLY that it made me abandon him for a year until i decided to pick him back up again #cause i remembered the idea and said hey i liked this guy. thus sealing my doom bc look at me now #but yeah. can you imagine how fucking bad i did that first time? it was atrocious #anon #ask

My first almost D&D but Not DND session!

Soo way back when, my dad gave me a book - a AD&D DMG from a market stall. And it was soo intriguing - but completely almost incomprehensible. A DMG made some sense - but all the numbers & mechanics were weird alien concepts that followed no simple path (some went up, others went down - and there was all these weird changes to add or subtract everywhere! AD&D was a chaotic book to say the least). Later, I’d discover my school had an original D&D players guide (ok, it was actually just the D&D book. There was only meant to be one. It was the very first book every made & meant to be a all in one concept). Suddenly things made sense - and we even had 2 modules. D&D could be had! Sooo I went to a friends house & he loved the concept. He also loved elves - no really, you have to understand he worshipped elves soooo much his ears gear almost 2 inches longer & pointy when he was leaving highschool. it was OMG scary. No surgery, no fakes - just straight up brain power misspent to reshape his body after his favorite image. He was already kinda tall & thin. And a pale skinned gaming geek naturally... So all he needed was to grow out his hair & grow pointy ears. Sooo he did... Kinda freaky... Kinda explains a lot about being human - and yeah, ‘Worshipped tolkieen type elves’ is the best description I have. But otherwise a nerdy nice guy. Annyyywayyy, I went over (pre-elf state) & asked about D&D. And he produced a rulebook - for Lord of the Rings. I didn’t care, we’re doing this. So we rolled up some characters. He had a Warrior or a Paladin I think. And I had a rogue - were-tiger. The LOTR RPG was a point buy system similar to white wolf games. You buy advantages and flaws to gain talents/powers/magic/skills & flaws. I found some for balance, jumping & damage resistance. And something like claws/teeth. Add in some rogue skills & movement skills & I was set! Now my friend was the by the book type - which I thankfully cured immediately by suggesting we do a ‘By the seat of our story pants’ session - we just started. Soon we were running atop rooves of the city doing a chase scene - totally awesome for a thief. And the paladin was running below trying hard to keep up. Rogues are totally awesome! Ooohhh yes! Anyway - we dived into this brave new RPG world. We had lots of fun. At some point we decided our setting was Faerun’s Waterdeep - we’d read a D&D novel about it & that was all the inspiration we needed. We also grew our party to like 3-4 people, maybe 5? And we were working for the political movers & shakers of Waterdeep. But we started with 2 characters chasing a thief across rooftops... Using a completely alien system that had almost no magic what so ever - improvising everything from rules to dice. We knew D&D needed d20s, so we rolled d20s plus our skills. That worked well. Damage was a d6 or 2d6 for something big. Life was soo simple - then we got loot! And we had a DMG for that! OMG, but my mate surpassed me here. Suddenly we had a gnomish inventor with a self moving carriage. It was steam powered.. ish... Magic steam I think... And we ended up with a self shooting crossbow on top at somepoint. That was actually scary - it shoot anyone & everyone, sometimes even us! I remember leaping from the rooftop of our carriage as it steamed it’s way over snowtopped fields, leaping for our opponent’s horses & chariots. I had to make so many agility checks (or was it balance?) - and aced them all. I was a were-cat & I knew where to specialise. Movement skills! Later our paladin died - and we wanted him back. So we planehopped over to the elvish heavens to steal his soul back (we’re adventurers after all! We know we’re here to loot the place!) So the GM distracted us with various scenes of heaven. I was really tempted to try and open this ornate obsidian door that seemed to glow with red runes everywhere. It was chained up with heavy mithril chains & magic locks - and omg it was so tempting... But the party managed to guess it might actually be a portal to the Nine Hells & dragged their curious kitty away... Then the GM tried to distract another player with a beautiful glade. However it was the Kitty who ended up wandering inside & being all curious. There was an elf there & we talked a lot. We kinda got into a debate about religion - and realized we had the same goals, but completely opposite perspectives on how to achieve it. We laughed a lot as everyone else realized the GM & I we’re arguing the same points from the opposite side of the lens. After that, I decided I liked this god - and well our campaign was slowly getting a VS Evil Hell Demons vibe. So believing in a particular god was appropriate. We did a lot of the ‘I pay homage to each different deity when I do something related to their portfolio’ type of prayers - partly as jokes & partly just to be characterful. So having one God was kinda cool. Anyway this elf asked if I wanted to start on the path as a cleric. Sure I said - now the other players had noticed when the GM said this god was forgotten on our world (it was a grey hawk god I think? Some other setting besides Faerun either way). And we’re pretty powerful folk now. We dance with the city’s politicians, royalty & gentry. We go to fancy parties & hang out with the royal poisoner, do work for the head Assassin sometimes & we even helped out the temple of helm so much we have a writ from the High Priest of Helm - allowing us shelter, food, aid & even a few coins from any temple of Helm. Amazing right? Well imagine my surprise when someone introduced me as a cleric of ‘Long Forgotten God’ when we finally retrieved our Paladin’s soul, avoided accidentally opening the door to hell a second time (It glowed and everything! I mean spoilt sports!) and we went to a royal ball to our success & our Paladin’s resurrection! Cleric’s were kinda a rare thing - we had lots of priests. But they could do no more than light healing (cure wounds & disease, produce food & water kinda magic. Very limited- because the system was also kinda limited in regards to magic) but clerics could open portals, summon angels & do real magics. Of course, I had 1 spell (*cough I had just enough exp to buy 1 ability cough*) - and slightly elfin features. There was the promise of an elven lifespan if I was a dutiful cleric though. So almost immortality was a pretty cool boon for a were-kitty... Now you’re wondering what the catch was - because there was one. I was just a cleric of this god. The only cleric actually. I’d been charged with spreading the word & given a cool title. Cleric! And then someone finally completed the sentence - we walked into the Royal Ball - and I was announced as the High Priest of ‘Long forgotten Elven God’... High priest... Yeah... The GM saddled me with ‘promote my faith’ & ‘High Priest’ in a political campaign... Now the GM was cool - the royal folk gave me a plot of land to cultivate into a druid glave with an underground cave/temple space. Which was cool. I even got a gold grant to help transplant soil & plants to the space. And it was near the Temple of Helm. The High Grand Temple of Helm... Where we have that lovely writ of aid... Soooo I maybe started preaching on the steps to the Temple of Helm... About my new god. And that made the High Priest of Helm just a little mad... Then we summoned a angel. The GM read about this spell where you could trade goods & gold to gain the service of angels. And they were anime angels that could build cities in days instead of months. Or nuke cities filled with undead and such... Sooo we traded some stuff from our stash & roll a d100 like all good gamers asking for a miracle. Got a 99 or was it a 100? That called forth some angels, saved our city in a big climatic battle & then sponsored a massive party - and our Angels turned DJs & Dancers and we jammed all night long! I mean we literally had them in our service for 2 days, so we just jammed & partied, then cleaned up the city some the next morning. Amazingly, given how rare Clerics with real magic were, this had an impact on the populace... Preventing the Devil Apocalypse, Summoning Angels & Jamming with the rarest of planar beings after kicking all the BBEG’s collective butts! Yes we made an impression... Now prior to this I had established a kitty theme for loving high places. I always liked to sleep atop these massive columns that adorned the Temple of Helm. 20 to 30m tall columns that were under an even taller roof - so I could nap up there or watch the city flow below me like ants... it was awesome! Which meant I was now awoken by crowds of faithful, flocking to the temple of helm, to wake my charrie up with shouts for wisdom & sermons. I’d tell stories on the front steps (just so I was taller than the crowds. They had a bunch of statues to climb over and leap atop too!) & it was sooo fun! Anddd the GM was secretly making rolls to see if the High Priest would finally snap & do something evil against me... Even turn to the devils just to ‘silence’ this menace to their god... I totally stole so many of their followers... I mean the GM saddled me with being a High Priest... So I lied, tricked & teased my way into becoming the most popular cleric in the city. You let the rogue make a faith after all. This is totally before we ever read Terry Pratchett btw - So you can’t think I’d ever read Going Postal or Making Money. All original madness I’m afraid :) - And yeah... I nearly broke apart the campaign world in my childish teasing of Helm’s chosen... Heeh... Still almost no remorse there :P Sooo that was my role in our first campaign. I mean, we fought wars, assassinated assassins trying to kill us in our supposed sleep, raced steam chariots & besieged armies! We stole artifacts, invented flawed intelligent items like repeating crossbows (we had a sciencey type player who got on well with the mad gnomish inventors guild) and ended up nearly killing the party 3 times with our own repeating crossbow (twice we luckily ran out of arrows, the third time we had to throw a boulder onto our carriage - and boy was that expensive to fix...) And don’t get me started on the politics... It literally flew over my teenage head... I was so clueless then. I even was tricked into being a high priest... Seriously, our party laughed me out of the room when I realized my easy-street lazy rogue was now saddled with actually working & promoting something, raising funds & even having to preach to get followers... And then people worked out I was actually a really good talker & on state debate teams... I just really enjoyed being lazy, stealing & leaping my way through problems... Anyway... long rambling stories... Probably not that interesting - but OMG my fondest memory is just that beginning - we rolled up characters & started playing before we read the mechanics. We invented everything we needed in 5 minutes & learnt some real rules later - which we half ignored as we tried to recreate the spirit of DND with d20s & Lord of the Rings Character Sheets. Still have that sheet too! If you ever want to start a game - just take whatever books you have and go for it. Don’t stress about the rules, make stuff up. Borrow the Advantage/Disadvantage system from fifth Ed - and just go with the flow. If it feels like success, tell the player. If it doesn’t, describe the player's misfortune...
