One thing I really like about Fantasy High -- and honestly Dimension 20/Brennan characters in general -- is that even the good parents are not perfect. Sandralynn is easily frustrated, especially when Fig reminds her of herself. Jawbone doesn't always know how to back off and meet people where they're at. The Thistlesprings have terrible boundaries and are deeply uncomfortable with negative emotions. In Burrow's End, Tula is constantly grappling with the urge to limit her children's options due to her own fear.
The experience of having Good Parents isn't that you get your needs met perfectly 100% of the time -- it's the experience of having one or more deeply flawed adults doing their level best to do right by you in spite of whatever shit they have going on in their own lives and psyches. And that's beautiful in its own right.
brennan entering the dome: yeah we’ll change the lighting depending on if we’re roleplaying or in combat, maybe get up to a little projection action as time goes on
aabria entering the dome: so we’re gonna need a hyperrealistic bear carcass,
I love Lukas Burrows End! He’s furry and he’s allergic to dander! He’s a ride or die! He loves his mommy! He’s the only one appropriately reacting to dying! He’s just a little guy and it’s his birthday!
i love actual play shows show much. where else am i going to find a nonbinary asian person playing a curmudgeonly elderly women with two adult daughters, one played by a black woman and the other played by a white man? And the white man is also playing a mother to his irl wife's character? and they're all *stoats*???
