3, 17, 19, 21, 22 for the NPC asks 💙
17 answered here & 21 answered here!
3. Do you build settings/encounters or NPCs first?
ooooh this depends but i would say generally (65%) i'm a setting first person!! i just love to know the overall vibes of a place so that i can populate it with people and establishments that really bring that out either by how much they do or don't fit in. knowing the setting gives me better footing to know what the average person there might be all about and how to make someone stand out or fit in in that spot. BUT sometimes a character concept is so overpowering i have to build them in somewhere, and!! sometimes players give me background npcs that need a place to go and that helps to create a well-designed background or organization (the dathdrim only exist because of wyn's character bc i got to thinking about whispers bards and how i wanted to reintroduce wyn into xarus' life and Boom really cool subgroup of the jilted creed was born in my brain)
19. Most changed?
nyx for sure! i don't take alignment very seriously most of the time bc i personally don't think it's a complex enough metric to define all of a being’s moral leanings but that's a lot for right now. she DID however make like a 20-session long "alignment shift" as she became her own person and stepped away from her relationship to eris in order to grow on her own, and yeah in personality, belief system, general wants and desires for her life i think nyx is absolutely the most changed npc at the end of the day (which also makes sense given she's one of the youngest in the crew).
22. Which NPC is the most difficult to roleplay? Why?
WYN!!! and don't get me wrong he is also proably the most FUN to play it's also just akjaskjlgjf i have to be so smooth and suave also put together and i Love dropping the most lines of all time on you sophie but i have to turn my brain on full blast for one very epic dude who i love dearly (was so proud of the empty letter right before castellane/mountain time)

1, 24, 32, and 64 for Eris!!
Hell yah, more questions.
1. What does your character typically keep in their pockets?
Answered!
24. What’s a controversial food opinion they would have?
She would have so many, some that are just wrong but she thinks are fun to say. The absolute worst one is one that I have both tried and enjoyed and it’s apple cider and milk. Objectively bad, but tastes so good. She also would be the type of person who wants ghost peppers on every food. Absolute nightmare.
32. Does your character daydream? What do they usually keep their mind occupied with?
I don’t know if she really daydreams so much as she actually thinks a lot about just everything that has been happening and hypotheticals stemming from what could happen next. She spends a lot of her time thinking about different timelines and potential futures. Also thinking about different stories she’s heard throughout the years.
64. What is one thing they want each party member to know?
I would like to clarify that I don’t actually know how helpful her advice would be and how much they really need/should here it haha. It clearly varies from person to person.
Nyx: You deserve your time to be the center of attention and your own person and I’m sorry if I’ve ever taken that away from you. I love you so much and loosing your would destroy man.
Lian: I don’t hate you, I just hate everything you represent in my mind.
Damien: Sorry for constantly bullying you, but it’s in attempt to let you know that being comfortable and being familiar with people often means being comfortable enough to fuck with them.
Theresa: Not everyone needs to be okay all of the time and sometimes being selfish and irrational just means that you’re a person.
Xarus: Whoever your parents were and whatever they’ve done doesn’t matter because people only mean as much to you as you let them.
Thalia: You’re doing the same let’s-not-talk-about-our-feelings thing that I do, how’s that working out for you? Cause I have yet to realize that it’s not working for me.
Piper: You’re way cooler than anything I’m doing right now. I don’t know what I could tell you.
Lux: Same as Piper, you just seem real cool.
Miles: Tell your husband you love him, your silence is hurting him.

On the back of each hand, he has a very intricate eye design, because he only has one eye and thought it would be funny.
It's Xarus! @colorofmagenta's blue barbarian/ cleric
ID: a digitally drawn bust of a blue-skinned tiefling with one hand raised to cover his left eye. He has horns that curve up and out at the tips; they are decorated with silver bands of varying widths. A strap to secure an eye patch crosses his forehead, disappearing under his hand. His dark blue dreadlocks are pulled back into a messy bun. He has pale purple sclera with white, pupil-less irises. He smiles crookedly, showing pointed canines. On the back of his raised hand is an eye tattoo with geometric accents. His fingernails are dark blue. Pale clouds are tattooed on the same arm. He wears a dark red shirt. The line art is dark red and the background is pale purple. End ID/

Answer with 3 random facts about yourself. Let’s get to know the person behind the blog!
Tagged by @colorofmagenta
1. I have a long torso in comparison to the rest of my body. Whenever I sit down, I appear much taller than I actually am to the point where I’m the same height as my 5’9 brother sitting down but six inches shorter than him standing up.
My students made fun of me when I stood up once and it was revealed I was shorter than half of them. They were middle schoolers. I was defeated.
2. I thought going to an all-girls Catholic high school would make me closer to God and strengthen my faith. Instead made me a gay socialist atheist. Who knew?
3. On that note, picking our parking spots senior year in high school I wore a “Nobody Knows I’m a Lesbian” shirt. I was openly out and tbh most of my classmates were gay, too. Signed my name on the sheet and looked up.
Turns out I was wearing this shirt face to face with a NUN from the convent at the school. She was just staring at the shirt. Perplexed. Bewildered. Undoubtably questioning not only my life choices but my fashion choices. I just smiled awkwardly and walked away.
I tag @wenightmareyou and anyone else who wants to!

Happy sleepover Saturday!! I hope you’re having a great night!! What are your top 5 (or 10) moments so far in any dnd campaign you’ve played in?? 💛
happy sleepover saturday sophie!! it's been a good night so far, vibing w my roommate and making tea <3
top five dnd moments!
5. "do you have blood?" beans team scene from ehas! i simply love the vibe of our comic relief trio over here and like. the things they know about themselves and each other and what they think is important! but also. i have been overthinking this scene very hard and it has led not only to me threshing out more of thi's worldview but also i have some Theories about the beans team's secrets
4. henlyn and vita fish last rites scene from celestine secrets! vita (grave cleric) asks henlyn (triton bard) to read a short passage in aquan (which vita doesn't speak) to help the souls of some fish that are literally in henlyn's mom's fishmonger's stall pass on. vita doesn't know that the passage is an extremely spiteful "you fucked my wife! i'm gonna piss on your lawn you son of a bitch!" style note between feuding water genasi neighbors, NOT a sacred text. watching fio (vita's player) mime extremely earnest blessings over these dead fish while meg (henlyn's player) improvised chanting a solid 3 minutes of this bonkers note was. it fully halted the session. absolutely fucking legendary.
3. ari confession scene from wandering isles. on just a personal level playing this scene was the most wildly cathartic thing and we'd also been planning this dynamic and waiting for a good moment to have it all come out for like. most of the time these two had been in the campaign at this point. so fun to scene partner with aj always and so proud of these characters in that moment and just. a "holy shit dnd can feel like this?" moment
2. castellane double nat 20s on the docks to power word kill nyx from wandering isles. god. god. god. this scene. it's a top scene not because i think it's fun it's a top scene because it BROKE ME and i still think about what-ifs for it on the regular and it was such a clear moment of. dice tell a story. this crew is powerful but death can still touch them. we're going to fuck up prynne castellane until no one even remembers his name. just such a peak dnd feeling but GOD.
1. everything about the wandering isles epilogue. what isn't there to say here it was just. SO good and they get to live and i think about all the postcampaign connections between the crew and the lives they got to make for themselves all the time. i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss these buddies so much

8, 9, 24, 29 for Tâm!!
8. how did your character feel when they left home for the first time?
a little reckless. i think there is a home or at least people/resources still that she could have gone back to, but she’s just a little too proud to go back.
9. where does your character look when they’re the only one walking down a road?
ahead, and maybe also scanning around the sides of the road just in case.
24. what made your character the angriest they’ve ever been?
oh this is a very fun question for tâm specifically.
jolting up from a hasty sorcerous revivify, on the ground after being fully dead, to see and hear ari getting dragged away from her kicking and screaming, into gelinish hands. 100% the first time she wild magic raged. it was BAD it was a BAD TIME

Happy sleepover Saturday bestie!! How’s your day going?? Tell me some things that have made you happy recently! 💛
happy sleepover saturday sophie!! my day's going well, got to sleep in and also do driving practice (i am trying to get my license :/) so it's been uneventful in a good way! and some things that have made me happy: placing lots of holds at the library, attempting to try every cafe in town with my mom, rereading a long way to a small angry planet!!

1, 9, 10, 11, 21, 33 for Tâm!! 💚
1. what kind of clothing does your character like to wear? do they have a style? anything they avoid wearing?
i won’t pretend this wasn’t at least a little inspired by “overalls are gender” conversation (because they ARE) but! i am justifying it with Practicality that she’s got an overalls/jumpsuit over a shirt situation—it fits her priorities that clothing 1) is easy to move in 2) has pockets to hold the things she needs 3) is unfussy and comfortable. for this reason i think she avoids things that have a lot of fussy fastenings or that move/swish/make noise a lot (pants rather than skirts, short sleeves, almost no jewelry unless it has unusual sentimental value).
10. would they sneak out at night to look at the sky? how long would they stay there looking?
under no circumstances. i actually think tâm has almost certainly caught ari doing this and nearly dragged them back to bed because you need to sleep, that’s important is almost a personality trait at this point. to be fair i think she’s spent her fair share of time idly looking at the stars keeping watches at night (iirc ari wrote a paper on astrology once? so maybe trying to see if she could find any of the constellations they were talking about) but it’s not something she’d specially stay up/wake up/sneak out for.
21. do they touch or mess with their hair/horns a lot?
i don’t think she does! partly because she intentionally puts her hair out of the way/doesn’t particularly care about it very much and partly because even though she IS a nervous person, she almost always has something else in her hand to fidget with instead (i’m picturing her rotating her pike in her hand a lot or rubbing her thumb over the wood or the ridges of the grip instead)
33. where are they in a group hug? (dead center, outside, etc)
outside, trying to keep an eye on everything but absolutely getting sucked into the hug!

21 for cat, 23 for kima, and 39 for thi!
ooh ty sophie!
21. How did they become an adventurer?
cat is an adventurer because they want to see the weird, messy thing that is the world! i think they hitchhiked their way out of the feywild on a night when the veil was just a little thin and quickly picked up on the fact that they'd need to get good with a weapon not just to stay alive but also to fund this wanderlust of theirs. it's a little mercenary but cat knows what they want and doesn't regret their time as a gun-for-hire before joining up with the party, especially since it let them skip town and hop around as much as they wanted
23. What is their role in the party? Not just their class on a meta level, but among the individuals who make up your party?
party dynamic definitely still developing, but kima sees her place in the party as trying to be a little bit of grounding and support. their two cantrips are guidance and mending and she uses them a lot—i think that's a pretty good summary of what kima's all about!
39. If someone could tell them anything about the future they asked, would they want to know? Would they ask?
god yes. thi would want to know literally any certain truth about the future that someone was willing to give them, no matter how small. but most of all: will i find what i'm looking for?

thank you sophie, sorry for getting to this late! i had a pretty chill saturday at the library, i hope your day today is a good one! <3
17 and 28 already answered!
1. coffee mugs, teacups, wine glasses, water bottles, or soda cans?
i mostly drink water but aesthetically i think soda cans are neat (there's this milk tea in a can that i think is fun for some reason!)
69. a fun fact that you don’t know how you learned?
sue the t. rex @ the field museum in chicago uses they/them pronouns and i'm love them

Happy sleepover Saturday!! For no reason in particular, what are some of your favorite baked goods?? Also tell me something good/something that made you happy recently!! 💛
happy sleepover saturday sophie! we’ve got fairy lights and fun soda flavors in this internet sleepover pillow fort and i am handing you fun snacks! ooh for baked goods i’m the kind of person who loves corner brownies and crispy chocolate chip cookies for the for the texture but also a sucker for anything with citrus! something good lately: one of my roommates and i went to the asian grocery store and stocked up for the week together and it was so nice to just. wander through the aisles and vibe and bond over “oh my god remember this asian snack” “that was my CHILDHOOD”! i haven’t had a ton of time to hang out with my roommates but it’s nice when we get to do chores together and make it less tedious <3

this might be late bc I fully forgot to send it but 8, 28, 32, and 53 for redacted campaign 2 pc!!
never too late, thanks sophie!! <3
8. What is something they cannot resist?
people with Purpose. friends.
28. Why do they keep secrets?
I don't think they keep many! If they do, it's because of uncertainty or shame.
32. Does your character daydream? What do they usually keep their mind occupied with?
They don't really daydream as in idly imagining or fantasizing, but they are always turning something over in their mind like a worry stone, doing that thing where you come up with a scenario and then rabbit-hole down it until you figure out why it wouldn't work or get to someplace ridiculous or hit a wall, then discard it.
53. What does freedom mean to them?
Fulfilling all the debts you owe to other people. Freedom means freedom from doubt, too—being certain about what you want to do and being able to do it. They want freedom very badly.
from these dnd asks!
