get ready for my hottest of hot takes you’re ever gonna read bc the general headcanons are boring
oh scary old Hive man who purposefully made himself look as scary as humanly possible so Guardians would be afraid of him. Got weird growths on his head or three eyes or looks half Hive
Toland convinced 5 people to trust his ass to take them down into a Hellmouth where he was going to leave them to die. Eriana was full of the need for vengeance but she wasn’t stupid okay. She was a Praxic Warlock and they abhor the Darkness in all things. She wouldn’t have trusted Toland if he looked categorically off the fucking deep end and like he desperately wanted to bang a Hive Wizard.
Toland was, at the very least, attractive and young looking. The type of bastard who’s got a pretty face and knows how to sometimes swallow his wicked sharp tongue and say nice things to you so you’ll shut up for half a second so you’ll listen to him. And if he doesn’t go into a full on rant he’s pretty convincing and charismatic. Toland desperately wanted to be taken seriously and listened to by his peers (or pretty much anyway) but had been so ridiculed for it he turned into a horrible toxic person. Toland is the pretty face, fucking rancid personality who might act nice to you if you give him space to talk about the Hive. Which Eriana let him and he convinced her and a fireteam that yeah, he’d take them down into the Pit, he’d lead the way, he’d get them their vengeance. And they fucking believed him. You don’t get that if you’re a rambling mad man. Eriana was dead set on avenging her girlfriend but from the way Eris talks about the others... they just kinda went along with it. They weren’t there for revenge. They were there for Eriana. If Toland had been a half Hive weirdo they would have had the self awareness to say ‘hey lets not. Or at least not with this guy’.
Broke: Toland’s a crusty old man covered in Hive shit who rambles about the the Darkness, Sword Logic, and the Hive
Woke: Toland is just Handsome Man 3 preset with a fucked up obsession and the worst toxic personality you can imagine

I'm actually so glad Grian had the self control to make Jimmy take a different mentor. If he'd been Jimmy's mentor his runs absolutely would have become just another bit instead of actually trying, and he probably would have died early level 1 being screamed at for all three runs.

Hi just properly scrolled through your blog for the first time and wanted to ask a question:
Re: Riz should be class president post from over a week ago - why should it be Riz over Kristen now that the class president position has stakes? Is it because of Kristen’s inconsistent access to her spells in case she needed to defend herself? I’d love to hear more about your thought process regarding this - assuming your opinion hasn’t changed since making that post.
My thoughts personally are that character-wise, it makes more sense to me for Riz to be the one strategizing as the campaign manager, because he’s the one actually finding a lot of the traps the Rat Grinders have put out for them.
Whereas Kristen makes more sense to me as a candidate purely because of her charisma and good radar for social bs - her weakness, of course, being that she’s a bit of a wild card in her choices regarding the campaign. But at the same time, she’s been able to get away with wearing a soggy salsa hat in front of the entire student body and still maintain some chance for the candidacy.
Obviously, I’m ignoring the more mechanical aspects of this comparison. If that’s what you were referring to in your original post idk then. I’m still wrapping my head around how Riz rolls so well now, level 10 dnd shit is way over my head.
Sorry if this was long, I just wanted to express my thoughts as well as hear yours! Idk how far away we are from getting back to the campaign to class president, who knows what happens after they get back from fallinel!
hi! sorry this is such a late reply, i've been away and i wanted to watch the new ep before i started posting about anything d20 in case of unintentional spoilers haha
so i think part of it is that, imho, brennan intended the class president arc to be riz's:
kipperlily is a rogue, v type a, and a narrative foil to riz, and this would have directly pitted them against one another
riz needed extra credit things for his college app, like being involved in student govt/being student president
there's also something about kipperlily being fundamentally riz but richer
kristen's arc was clearly always going to be about cassandra, trying to regain her favour, or increase her popularity, or resurrect her
nara is the kristen foil this season (once again, kristen but richer)
everyone has like an individual arc this season except for riz, bc his was supposed to be student president
beyond all of this, i don't actually think kristen is able to take the student president stuff too seriously - every time she tries, she ends up doing a bit instead, at the steel workers union, at the middle school, even at the party. i actually think if riz was the candidate, he would manage himself, in the same way that fabian wanted to be the party house and arranges that himself, and adaine needed a job and worked on and got that herself. so like i agree that he's the best campaign manager, but that doesn't preclude him from being the best candidate as well??
also, frankly, a lot of the good social graces kristen has had this year are from riz putting in the hard work - him joining all the clubs and making those connections, him taking stress to give her more popularity, his own popularity, etc.
like i'm enjoying the silliness of kristen's campaign, but i'm kind of with sklonda on this - riz would be a better candidate, and it is to some degree a shame that he's putting this much effort into running a campaign for someone else. if they legit need the student body president bc they'll become proxy headmaster, then i think a more serious campaign with riz at the helm and finally having his time in the spotlight is not a bad idea!!

God q!BBH is fascinating. His paranoia especially. q!Bad has called himself paranoid in character btw. multiple times. but the one example that immediately comes to mind is when he was talking to q!Aypierre. When people call him paranoid he doesn’t really say “Nuh uh” (at least not seriously - he’s become a little more self-aware) he says “okay maybe I am, maybe I’m not. but don’t you understand why?”
for q!BBH the price of potentially overreacting and hurting his friends’ feelings with his lack of trust is significantly outweighed by the price of an egg fucking dying because he decided to relax. He has been the deciding factor in a life-or-death situation for an egg multiple times. And his overreactions have saved lives. Obviously his developing belief that he’s like the Lone Responsible Caretaker of the Eggs is like blatantly incorrect but it didn’t come into existence in a void. It isn’t just one of his inventions it’s a consequence of other parents putting (whether purposely or accidentally) a lot of pressure on him that he tried and failed to escape from.
So he doesn’t care if he’s paranoid, he doesn’t care if his distrust hurts people, he doesn’t care about what’s reasonable or not - he cares about the eggs being alive. And if being unreasonable has kept the eggs alive in the past then damn you better believe he’s only going to get more unreasonable. And he’s not going to be sorry about it either, not while he feels responsible for every single child on the island.

"Haha ASL Brothers haha more like American Sign Language" well, actually, YES. After the explosives that made Sabo lose his memory, he also started to have difficulties hearing and Dragon had to teach him ASL. He doesn't want to worry Luffy and Ace (he's alive. Shut up) when they meet again, so he doesn't say anything. But they start noticing he can't hear them well anymore and his fake smiles are too fake for his brothers not to notice it. So!!! Luffy tells Robin and Robin actually knows ASL?? And Marco does too, so Ace also has a teacher. Then, when they see each other again, Ace and Luffy start signing almost perfectly (almost. They're pretty clumsy and Sabo sometimes has a hard time trying to understand wtf they're trying to say). Sabo pretty much starts crying when this happens. Dumbass brothers that learned ASL for him. He loves them so much.

Consider: Yukino Aguria is a jacket magnet, to hilarious proportions.
The poor girl can barely rub her arms half an inch without somebody offering their coat, jacket, or cloak. it's not like she gets cold super easily, It just happens all the time. And she tries not to accept it, but it rarely deters the gifter.
Sting has given Yukino the shirt off his back more than once, which is made funny by the fact that the shirt didn't even have sleeves. Either time. It seems like Yukino has more of Minerva's sweaters then Minerva herself does. The only time the sabertooth guild had a fight on par with a Tuesday in fairy tail is when Yukino visibly shivered, and there was a war to be had. A war that Rufus won, he'll have you know. But it's easiest for rogue since he wears cloaks all the time, and sometimes Yukino won't even notice as she also wears cloaks a lot.
This does not stop with sabertooth. Millianna will also wrap her cloak over yukino's shoulders at the slightest sign of a chill. If kagura doesn't get there first, which she often does. Ichiya has attempted a few times but always fails, largely in part to rogue's ichiya-related traumas.
Erza has a basically endless supply of jackets that she never uses. It's less that yukino is cold and more that Ezra's giving them away. Lucy has also passed off a number of her jackets off, and when yukino tries to stop her, lucy will laugh and say if she gets cold, she'll bug natsu or summon horologium. Natsu himself has only offered once, and then Lucy pointed out that his jacket doesn't have sleeves.
Juvia does get pissed if gray ends up giving his jacket to yukino, but it's more like when gray chucks his jacket off it's now in yukino's hands. Yukino tends to try and offer it to juvia, but sometimes juvia just gives yukino her jacket as well.
No, Yukino is not used to this. at all.

You know a silly thing I want?
I think that Naomi and Gin should team up and be a non-superpowered version of Soukoku. They're already enemies via being on different sides but more than that....Naomi's intelligence and quick thinking + Gin's almost supernatural skill with knives? That's more soukoku-y than the more fighting-based partnership Akutagawa and Atsushi have.
But even more than that...they are both sisters to powerful members of their organisations, they are both the only significant character-based rather than author-based characters, and they both have that whole illusion/more than they seem thing going on. Also, IRL Akutagawa and IRL Tanizaki bickered or something about literature, didn't they?
Anyway, yeah...it would be cool to me to see them team up....

requited unrequited
so there was something going around a while ago when people where discussing 'requited unrequited' and how it's hilarious,
i didn't think too hard about it but like yes ITS SO FUNNY
the idea that both parties think the other has a crush on them and is too polite/embarrassed to shoot them down
and then their actual respective love interests are losing their mind
ITS GOLD ITS FUNNY WHAT DO YOU MEAN
and i deadass haven't seen a single fic like this, can someone drop a fic rec if they know anything and they belong to the following fandoms????

It doesn't need to be said (I am preaching to the choir), but after seeing a very bad faith interpretation of Gale nearly half a year after release, I am going to say it again regardless!
Gale is a victim, not a perpetrator. In his relationship with Mystra, he was preyed on and hurt, not Mystra. Yes, Mystra told Gale not to seek out the missing part of Weave that is a part of her, but Gale had no idea it was Karsite in nature and was not aware he was looking for something that was actively corrupt and dangerous until Act 3. Mystra did not inform him right out the gate. Gale may have went to seek it out despite her disapproval and erred and doomed himself for it, but Gale was also aiming solely to apologize for...wanting to be her equal. And I am saying it one more time: it is NOT Gale's fault for wanting to be on the same footing with his lover. No one wants to feel like they're looking UP at their lover, beneath them and not worthy of them. Gale was groomed. Gale was preyed on and eyed by Mystra since he was a young boy. He was her pupil, she, his mentor, and later, he became her lover. Of course Gale wants to feel equal to her. Of course Gale wants to be more. How could he not want to be more, to live up to his goddess that gave him an OUNCE of her attention? Lord forbid.
Gale is not some manipulator. How the idea that he, a mere mortal, could manipulate Mystra, a goddess, is truly beyond me—a goddess who told him to literally die to earn her forgiveness. While he may have had a more haughty personality in EA and was originally supposed to have tried to usurp Mystra in CONCEPT, a lot and a considerable lot has changed upon release. Gale is remarkably human. He is remarkably honest. He is so bare, so forward, and is practically the FIRST person to reveal to you everything you need to know about him among the party if you prove yourself trustworthy, which, let's be real, is a low bar (you save a child and he's impressed. Like. Truly. The bar is THAT low). Gale is arrogant, sure, but is also remarkably modest with his desires and has befuddlingly low self confidence and self worth. He does not try to manipulate Mystra or the player into anything. He's a dying man who honestly just wants to be told he's worthy of everything as just Gale DEKARIOS, not just as Gale of Waterdeep. He's ambitious because he has lived his whole life with the impression he's only worth something if he makes himself out to be something. There is no manipulation here, just a deeply wanting man who looks at 'the world is better FOR you' like it's worth more than all the riches in the world.
Gale may have his hang ups because he is well and truly traumatized, but that's because he's absolutely the victim in his situation. I get it. He's older. He's a grown man and Mystra talked so 'calmly' and didn't physically hurt him (even though she did turn a blind eye when Gale, you know, was afflicted with and living with a bomb in his chest), but that doesn't make Mystra any less the perpetrator of his traumas.
