girl who sucks at making OCs needs to make a DnD character send help
#I did make one who was rad but then got vetod by the DM and now I handed in a half-elf wizard but she's just so basic#she literally has no personality send help#and also idk what direction should we take because I have no idea what the other people will be like in the party#and I'm the only girl player there so I don't want for that to be like be a thing and bring a stereotipically girly character#and I could make her like a standard bookish wizard which obviously stands very close to me and would be super easy to play#but that's so cliche and I don't want to be like everyone's mom in game if everyone else is just running around and fucking shit up#but I know that I'll have a harder time playing a more reckless and careless character and if there isn't going to be someone#thinking for the team and we just go headfirst into stuff that also sucks.#and like I like to be someone who thinks about the solutions it just can't just be me being the party pooper if you get me#but poor wizard girl is just so mid with her 'my parents wanted me to be an X wizard but I'm gonna be an Y wizard instead' backstory#like wow such rebellion you're gonna show them girl#but at this point I'm a week behind schedule so I need to have a character like for yesterday#and I don't want to just copy others' dnd characters from D20 but they have like a group cohesion and individual arcs and that's so cool#and I suck at making up little men#miaing#mia's dnd adventures#I'm stressing so much over just making a character and meeting strangers bringing a character with anxiety disorder wouldn't even be rp#I guess great that my sorcerer got vetoed how would I play out being the face of the party

Happy New Year! Here's everything I watched and read in 2023
And also some misc. thoughts on the things that made an especially good, bad, or striking impression. If the thing is in purple, it was a rewatch! books are all rated out of five because there was a reasonable number of them. top five from each category are in the bottom for funsies.
*not including podcasts/dropout content. I'm up to date on make some noise, gamechanger, wbn, and d20 (mostly). I also watched the emily axford guest episodes and chapter 2 of candela obscura on CR
Movies
The Menu
Glass Onion
Romeo and Juliet (1996) (this is one of my fav movies of all time, I'll never get sick of it. just gorgeous top to bottom)
Rosaline (I went into this knowing I wouldn't like it and came out thinking it was just alright. lead actress is good, but I hate derivative Shakespeare works that don't understand the original story)
Hamilton
Tangled
Secret World of Arrietty
Honor Among Thieves (just a damn good movie, love the practical effects)
Mamma Mia!
Barbie and the Three Musketeers
The Three Musketeers (1993)
Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse
The Last Unicorn (rewatched this for the first time in at least a decade, what a gorgeous vibey fantasy film. something about the dark scenery and tone really sticks with me)
Nimona (thought Ballister was a great character and enjoyed the design choices for the world, a good piece of Knight (tm) media. however, I thought the animation was lacking and didn't think it deserved a best picture nom like a lot of people did. it was cute, not lifechanging)
The Green Knight (watch it)
80 for Brady (a request from my mom, surprisingly funny)
The Visit
Sweet Home Alabama (bad)
Barbie!
Sharkboy and Lavagirl
Pride and Prejudice 2005 (another one of my all time favs)
Sleeping Beauty
The Aristocats
La La Land
Red White and Royal Blue
The Princess and the Pauper
Barbie and the Three Musketeers (again)
Howl's Moving Castle
Girl Vs. Monster
10 Things I Hate About You
500 Days of Summer (made me cry, which I didn't expect. can you tell I had a joseph gordon levitt moment lol)
Get Out
Twilight
The Conjuring (I watch this every year, one of my fav horror movies)
Scooby Doo: The Witches Ghost
Kiki's Delivery Service
Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Love, Actually
Honor Among Thieves (again, but with my DnD party)
The Holiday (I mean. it's Jude Law)
The Boy and the Heron (holy fucking shit this was so good)
Asteroid City
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
In The Tall Grass
Books
Harrow the Ninth by Tamryn Muir: good! I fucking struggled at the beginning getting through but it paid off. (3.5/5)
The Falls by Joyce Carol Oates: a fun gothic romance/tragedy set in Niagra Falls which took an environmentalist angle I was not expecting at all. Picked it up at a Goodwill and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. (4/5)
A Game of Thrones by GRRM: I mean, it's a classic. The way the plot unfolds at the end really is incredible, but from the first chapter it grips you. (4/5)
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas: HOLY SHIT if you read one book because of me let it be this one, it is criminally underrated for how well known it is. It is thee action-adventure novel of all time, hysterically funny and easy to read. (5/5)
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern: I took a little dip into YA to bring some autumn vibes to my summer internship. Plot was bad, vibes came through. (2.5/5)
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte: fucking slaps!! anyone who thinks it isn't romantic is dead wrong, I found it much more engaging than Jane Eyre, the other Bronte novel I've read. (4.5/5)
Just Above My Head by James Baldwin: a gripping account of two black families before and during the civil rights movement, of which one son becomes a famous gospel singer. Julia, one of the daughters and a child evangelist, stuck with me long after I finished it (5/5)
Nona the Ninth by Tamryn Muir: enjoyed it more than HTN, Nona asking about her birthday present made me cry, as did Campal :( (4.5/5)
That Summer In Paris by Morley Callaghan: put me in a massive reading slump over a silly little Goodwill read, never have I been less entertained by what was essentially a book of entirely gossip about 1920s writers. (2/5)
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: read it immediately after ABOSAS, holds up in its entirety, particularly in the environmental descriptions (4/5)
A Clash of Kings by GRRM: I've already posted about this a ton but holy shit, it's slow getting there but the payoff is incredible. really excited to keep reading bc George absolutely sold me on this web of political and personal relationships. (4.5/5)
A Place Bewitched and Other Stories by Nikolai Gogol: the cap for the year, bleak Russian short stories about weird little tales. would hit harder during fall. (3/5)
Shows
The Last of Us (as good as people said it was. sold me on zombie media as someone who does not like zombie media)
TLOVM S2
You S4 (a decent ending, parts with Love Quinn were the best lolol)
Succession S4
Shadow and Bone S2
Partner Track (CUTE. wish netflix didn't cancel it)
Marvelous Mrs Maisel S5 (a letdown tbh)
Game of Thrones S1
BBC Musketeers (I had a big three musketeers phase this year; this was my fav adaptation I watched. a lot of heart and a lot of silly, I am very biased about it)
BC Strike
Bridgerton - Queen Charlotte (I watched this in French, had a miserable time)
The Terror
The Bear (twice)
The Summer I Turned Pretty S2 (steven and taylor!!!!!)
Legends of Tomorrow S1-5 (rewatching with Roommate)
Yellowjackets S1
Over The Garden Wall (I watch this every autumn)
Gilmore Girls, Seinfeld (continuously)
The X Files S1-2
Blue Eye Samurai (shockingly blunt and visceral in everything from it's depiction of racism to fully committing to animating a boner).
Unfinished: Fionna and Cake, the Fall of the House of Usher. we're working on it.

current TTRPG blorbo lineup:
Madea: no1 blorbo. (she/they/depends on what face she's wearing)A fiendish changling who was raised in a church (did not go well) has a totally normal relationship with the girl she was raised with and has very good coping mechanisms (this is sarcasm). Has so much fire magic and really can only cast fire magic. her highest stat is her charisma, which is 16, and her lowest is strength at 8. girl failure is doomed by the narrative and is just falling apart at the seams. the party thinks she's doing so much better than she actually is doing. Killed her shitty dad at least
Ale: aka Omolale a mausraman (human subrace homebrew) binder (dnd 3.5 class) (they/he/she/it). They're the old gods specialist little guy, but they really do not like being chosen for four different warring factions. They were put on this planet for a good time, not a long time, and are just baffled why so many people hold them up and say, "This is the dude (gender neutral) I want". Recently found out that they aren't even from the current universe they reside within and are just so in over their head when they want to just hang and get high and maybe smack some monsters for cash, but the multiverse seems to have other plans for them. Also, their name is a slur in their mother tongue, which is why they usually just go by Ale, they just think being called an alcoholic beverage is very funny: Ale's highest stat is strength at 20-24 (depending on what buffs they have active) and their lowest score is dex at 8. ale is a charisma caster.
Rossien: (he/him) an elf beaskin wizard from the ficcoria (basically the fairy country) who came from a lower-noble family and was blessed to be a beaskin, he looks like a large slender owl with humanoid proportions, and while his whole large family had a propensity for the magic he found his way to the wizarding arts. after an unknown force attacked his family so he found himself out on his own he tried to settle down and start over but failed to do so ending up divorced and back on the road for a few years. he is trying once again to get his life back in order by getting his education and ability to vote where he currently lives but due to ending up in an adventuring party it's not looking good on that front.
Ida: (she/her) a now retired adventurer (ie has turned into an NPC) human bloodhunter order of the lycan. the TL:DR for ida is she got bit by a werewolf that attacked her home. She went out for milk (a cure to her lycanthropy) for a decade. Decided that she had enough control over her power to go back home and is not back to being a lesbian housewife <3 also, she adopted like a half-dozen kids along the way (her adventuring party). she has a loving wife, a biological son whom she has a strained relationship with (see leaving for a decade), and an adopted tiefling son who she found on the side of the road and took home like a mangy dog.
Tyblin: the newest blorbo and is yet to be 100% fleshed out due to the game starting at level 1, and not yet even going. Tyblin Stonecutter (she/her) is a ranger drakewarden goblin. Due to a bout of Encephalitis when she was a wee bab she has nerve damage in her legs and lower spine, causing great difficulty and pain when she walks. her mom is excellent and made sure Tyblin did not die during this time and is trying her hardest as a single mom. Tyblin's father is a mystery Mamma Mia esc situation where Tyblin's mom was an adventurer for a brief time and had many relations with many strapping young men and women, so even she's unsure who Tyblin's other parent may have been. Anyway, Tyblin is going to get a weird dog who does not leave her alone, and also that dog is a nuclear warhead and one of the queen's swans. once she's settled into being an adventure she's going to love it but until that moment clicks she's so in over her head
Joan: (she/her) Technically an NPC, Joan is one of my favorites to run. she's 18, she's 50, she's a spoiled brat, she's seen the horrors of war, she's an atheist who works directly for a goddess, she hates adventurers, her brother was an adventurer, she's dead, her best friend is a dog, she kills undead for her job, and she's even asexual. every time she shows up and introduces herself as Graywinter the party and players are like, "holly shit your last name is GRAYWINTER like the BBEG?!" and every time, she's just like "This is why I hate adventurers

Mike is not the “Heart” he's the “Leader”
Spoilers for Stranger things 4
Tumblr media
In vol 2
Will calls Mike the heart of the group
I now think that was Will’s way of viewing Mike concerning himself not necessarily the group or even El
As to Will Mike is the heart because of how he would care for him and the rest of his friends
Screencrush went over this already and it wasn't a bad video so watch it if you want
But since I wanted to go into depth differently, I'm going to break down the five-man band trope for the kids
Tumblr media
Five man band trope is a trope where there are five characters that fill five archetypes
Since no one will fit each role 100% as there will be overlap, I'll try to match each kid to each role
Also to point out that the show Dnd roles have some backing to this
Mike: The Leader
Tumblr media
In season 1 Mike was clearly the leader of the four kids
In seasons 2 & 3 he didn't lead as explicitly but among the kids, he did take charge a lot
In season 4 the group was divided but in Mike’s group even with Jonathan being the older one Mike could be seen as the leader of that group as he wanted to find El, had the Suzie idea, etc
Other qualities that help make him the leader are that he’s pretty outspoken and confident to a certain degree and does have a way of having people support his ideas
Dustin: Smart Guy
Tumblr media
In season 1 Dustin had the most knowledge of the kids, especially considering Will was MIA and Eleven doesn't know much, from the compass to just calling their science teacher for more knowledge
This carries on through all the seasons as no one is as nerdy or geeky as the kids and Dustin is arguably the smartest of them
Plus he used a lot of tech, as he's the one primarily with the walkie-talkie, compasses and DND knowledge, etc
The smart guy is usually not the most physically capable but is the one with plans or figures out problems which fits Dustin
Lucas: Lancer
Tumblr media
Lucas was tricky as he's the one where this role can be swapped with someone else depending on the situation
I picked him as the Lancer
as the lancers' main thing is how they foil the Leader
Foil as in they highlight certain qualities of their counterpart which in Lucas's case is Mike
In season 1 Lucas was the skeptic to Mike’s accepting/optimism as he was the one doubting and not liking El and wanting to find Will whereas Mike was super focused on El
His skepticism carries through the series even in season 4 where he was last to believe more crazy upside-down stuff was happening again as he didn't believe Eddie, etc at first
In season 2 his and Mike's roles kind of swapped as now Lucas was the one excited and accepting of the new girl Max and Mike was skeptical, etc
So even then they contrast each other even when they flip perspectives
Lucas doesn't necessarily become the leader when Mike’s not there as other characters like Steve Nancy and Hopper take that role,
But he's often one to be on the front lines, contrasting Mike as he’s not the one to be confronting and more protecting, as from the slingshot to the fireworks to fighting Jason he steps up, even with a small example like the both wanting to be the same ghost buster in season 2 he and Mike have the similarities that make then foil each other
And he’s also the one who’s most likely to go off on his own which is another lancer trait, as season 1 he went off after he and mike fought, season 2 he was more with Max and Dustin, season 4 he had the basketball team etc
Well Lucas and another character have this trait
Eleven: Tough guy/Powerhouse
Tumblr media
Another tough one could be another one that could fill Lancer because of her relation to Mike and how she has her side adventures a lot of the time. So very much can be switched with Lucas
But Eleven is undoubtedly the most powerful member on our side
She also has the “dumb” but tough trope but altered as hers is just a lack of knowledge and a normal upbringing as she could barely speak or understand things in season 1 and even now she's still working on her English
The tricky part is Eleven is arguably the main character so you would think her role would be different, which in the show it is she's a big focal point and arguably the leader, heart, etc of the whole show
But in the group of 5/6, I think this is her role as power dynamics, etc aren't a big factor as they're all friends and Mike being the leader and Dustin being the smart guy doesn’t diminish her
As even though Eleven is this super powerful character she's still a teenager that listens to her “parents” and friends
Will: The Heart
Tumblr media
Will is in a lot of ways the emotional core of the group
In season 1 everything was because of Will and the group was falling apart without him
In season 2 can be seen as the group being more healthy with Wills presence despite the plot and only real issues was unrelated to Will because of Max and Eleven
He's the most sensitive one too, literally and emotionally, he's the one that can sense when the group is being fractured and also when the upside-down stuff is happening with his neck tingle
And also the boys do kind of “big brother” him as despite being the same age they do protect him and encourage him a lot as he's more shy and quiet and smaller
And El is basically his sister now and they look out for each other
The group in a lot of ways doesn't work without Will as we can see in season 4 as the Hawkins kids group were divided, Eleven was struggling and etc
Will even if he doesn't realize it is the emotional support of the group
Max: The sixth ranger
Tumblr media
Just the term for when the group gets a later sixth member
She came “late” as she's a season 2 character and everyone else is a season 1 character
She changes the dynamic of the group from Lucas (and Dustin) crush on her, Mike's dislike of the feeling of replacing El, El's jealousy, Will losing friends, etc
She is in a lot of ways the outsider that is only really apart because of Lucas, Dustin and in season 3 El
She also foils a lot of the groups characters causing some friction but growth as well
Max kind of fills in whatever role she needs to be in seasons 2 & 3, she can lead, she can foil, she can be the smart guy, the tough guy, or support
For Mike she's a foil, to El she supports, to Dustin she's tough to his smart, etc
Bonus
Erica Sinclair: The tagalong kid
Tumblr media
The younger character that tags along
Usually later or temporary member and is usually the “7th” member
She’s the youngest, usually, a younger sibling to a member in this case Lucas, and in a lot of ways is more innocent than the rest but can also fill in a role when someone’s not there like she did for Lucas for Hellfire DND and she fills in for another one of the kids since Mike will and el are elsewhere for season 4 and in season 3 she fills out Dustin’s group dynamic more as Steve and Robin had there dynamic and now Dustin had someone to bounce off with
All in all
It's not perfect like I said Lucas and Eleven can flip roles or can even both be Lancers, Max can be plugged into any role
And since rarely all six are together there's usually someone else like a Steve that would fill the role someone else usually does
And in other groups, people like Mike and Lucas fill different roles
As like in season 1 Mike was the leader Lucas the lancer and Dustin was most likely the Heart which makes the power trio for example and this happens a lot as you can separate a lot into trios or duos like the Dustin Lucas max trio or the El Will Mike trio, the El Max duo, etc
But when it's the five/six/seven of them Mike is the leader with strong feelings for his friends, Dustin is the smart guy with a plan, Lucas is skeptical but loyal, Eleven is the powerful sweetheart that's still learning and naive, and Will is the sensitive one that can detect danger and problem, Max the wild card with really a heart of gold

DQXI Crossover prompts
Crossover week: Home | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
A various selection of four fic ideas I think would be cool mixed with DQXI.
Dungeons and Dragons but written in the fashion of the Adventure Zone graphic novels — i.e., we’re seeing everything from the perspective of this fantasy world, but there are indeed third-wall-breaking moments where, for example, the DM might pop in to say something or the characters might talk directly to him. Breaking the immersion is part of the fun.
So, the DQXI cast goes on a DnD adventure but with the meta of each of those characters being played by someone existing in modern times. So, maybe two plots happening at the same time? Or focus could be given primarily to the DnD party and their shenanigans. Who is the elf? Who is the orc? Who’s boring and decides to be a human? Which classes do they choose and what kind of ridiculous strategy do they concoct for defeating a bad guy? What is everyone’s awesome backstory shrouded in mystery?
Persona Series: Haven’t actually played any of the games, but I know a Large group of high school students team up to defeat an evil whose time is literally ticking. In Persona 5 there were confidants, and before that social links. (Also, it’s really funny— if you google “confidant,” some of it is P5 stuff lol)
Who gets which confidant? Why? Who are they trying to defeat? What sentiment animal thing joins their team and has some weird quirk? And why do I have a crush on literally every Persona protag ever???
Pokémon: Give each DQXI character a Pokémon team. Make it themed, make it random. Maybe Erik has a Sneasel and Meowth, or maybe he has a Trubbish because life is cruel and you don’t always get to decide what team you’re gonna have. My personal HC is that Eleven will pick up whatever Pokémon he encounters, so he ends up with a lot of Pokémon he met at the start of his adventure, and yeah, it’s a little random but he loves all of them.
Hendrik and Jasper could be Team Rocket and Obsidian the, uh, Mudsdale, could replace Meowth!
Dragon Quest Treasures: It’s not even out yet and I already want to do a crossover. I’ve seen bits of fanart floating around with the concept I’m envisioning: Erik and bab prince!El traveling around this little universe. Perhaps Erik and Mia were traveling on a boat and they got shipwrecked, so Erik and Mia are separated when Erik wakes up and he has to find her again. Alternatively, Mia and Erik arrive on El’s lil island and El offers to help them look for treasure.
User @cxe_prpr on Twitter made some cute inspiring artwork: 1, 2, 3

the bakarina anime is done! it’s just a drop in the ocean that is the otome isekai genre so these are some recs + what you need to know about them. i just listed most of my favs otherwise it’d be too long :p
in no particular order. includes some non-isekai ones too. needless to say most of these aren’t completed yet
my next life as a villainess: all routes lead to doom
using this to plug that there’s more bakarina content in the form of light novels, manga and 3 spin-offs
an observation record of my fiancee - a self-proclaimed villainess
told in the pov of prince cecil, whose fiancee bertia straight up tells him she’s a villainess of an otome game from her past life
if you ever wonder what jeord from bakarina might be thinking half the time, this is probably close. cecil is the same kind of prince who initially finds things bored and predictable until they met the mc
the things cecil would get up to for bertia? hoo boy
also the way the mangaka draws hair is addicting to look at
the villainess cecilia silvie doesn’t want to die so she decided to crossdress
the title speaks for itself~ after remembering an otome game she played in her past life, cecil (previously cecilia) is now the one capturing the hearts of the academy ladies instead
it’s fairly new so there’s not much of it yet :c but it’s pretty interesting
the original otome game had a whole rpg combat system going on and i’m hyped to see how it’s gonna lead the story
the Angelique vibes are strong in this one
the villainess wants to marry a commoner
isabella used to play an otome game in a past life, but she was really only interested in a side character named ursch. and then one day she finds him in her mansion garden
her past life self is such a mood - i too have 100% otome games in hopes of side characters getting hidden routes but alas
definitely deserves the ‘video game’ tag. isabella can see status screens and character stats/skills etc, and all the gacha rewards and grinding transferred over after her reincarnation. she’s the isekai female protag we’ve always wanted
seriously the main ship is too op for their own good aha
deathbound duke’s daughter
in a past life, erika only managed to finish 2.5/7 scenarios of an otome game thanks to an unlucky encounter with knife-kun. with the different flags of her impending doom approaching, she takes things into her own hands years before the game events start
very fantasy-oriented (the most on this list) and pretty action-packed, once you get past the game exposition in the first 3? chapters
the world building is brilliant, from the hafan mages to the aurelian alchemists, and there’s beasts and wands and spells and dnd stuff sprinkled in
the cast has quite interesting dynamics and interwoven plotlines, and they’re all dorky in their way :>
beware of the villainess
melissa remembers a novel from her past life and desperately tries to cut off contact with the male leads, but they still make her life hell & she rages
she’s just so done with everyone and you can’t help but relate to her
definitely the funniest on this list XD melissa and her reactions takes the cake but even the shit characters are hilarious in their own way
there’s also a lot of parodies to memes etc & best of all, there’s cussing. all the shits and fucks. a whole lot of it
it’s great
death is the only ending for the villainess
penelope wakes up as the villainess from a game she’d been playing in her past life, only right now it's on the hardest difficulty where death is literally everywhere. thus she tries, well, not dying
what’s cool about this is that penelope has access to the original game system. she can see menus, choice options etc. the male leads even have affection percentages floating above their heads :> which is always cool to see (and what i’m a sucker for)
but it’s definitely one of the darker ones on this list. iirc there’s depictions of violence, abuse, drugs and then some. just a fair warning
the daughter of albert house wishes for ruin
upon realizing that she’s the villainess from a past-life otome game, mary decides to stay as one. chaos ensues
i love this manga so much, everyone is so quirky and there’s something to laugh about on almost every page. the story almost feels self-aware of itself and just lets the characters do whatever. like ride bikes
addie is so cute ;o;
it’s definitely something everyone should experience
i’m a villainess daughter so i’m going to keep the last boss
one of the finished ones!
post-annulment, aileen pulls a Lisa Tepes and asks the demon king claude to marry her. he refuses. hijinks ensues
mostly on the fantasy side, as it builds on the world of the monsters
the cast is pretty fun! aileen’s smart, funny and pretty competent in her own right. plus she and claude are positively adorable together
milady just wants to relax
post-annulment, ronia decides to open a cafe in the countryside. it later becomes the frequent hangout of a beastmen mercenary group, who are intensely feared by the townsfolk
well... beastmen. that’s all you need to know /wink
okay, that aside, it’s just as chill as the title suggests. ronia slowly makes friends she can trust, and the beastmen find a second home in the only cafe that’s willing to accept them. it’s pretty wholesome
the banished villainess! living the leisurely life of a nun making revolutionary food
despite actively trying to change her ‘villainess from a past-life otome game’ fate since childhood, elizabeth gets annulled, her noble title stripped, and is sent to a church in a neighboring kingdom. she enjoys it more than expected, despite the appearance of the ever watchful leonid
there’s plenty of 21st-century food like sandwiches, cotton candy leonid’s muscles <3
the entire cast is lovable, and can chris get an f for all the heart attacks leonid keep giving him
seduce the villain’s father
yereninovica (or just yerenica) realizes that she’s in the world of a novel she read in her past life, but as the aunt of said novel’s mc. after thwarting a kidnapping that’s basically the mc’s origin story, she takes it upon herself to also prevent the tragic death of emperor belgoat
a bit different since it switches the roles around (side character x side character) and goes into the “parent generation” of the original work
there’s also an interesting bit where the world seems to recognize her as a hijacker, and where that takes her, we’ll see in due time :o:
plus the way yeni habitually calls him ‘father’ cracks me up every time
transferred to another world but i’m the savior of an otome game
after a ritual gone wrong, “yamada tarou” (fake name) is stuck in the world of an otome game. the only way back is with a magical ring, normally obtained after becoming the lover of one of the male leads. he of course says no i’m going adventuring but the game doesn’t like that
it’s absolutely hilarious - the leads treat our mc like a heroine, and there’s a lot of otome tropes that are called out on/parodied. like the seiyuus’ names oh my god
tarou’s reactions are great and his appraisal skill is the funniest thing alive
endo and kobayashi’s live commentary on the villainess
in modern japan, endo and kobayashi start their playthrough of an otome game, which becomes a bit glitchy and odd. they discover that siegward, a male lead in the game, can hear what they’re saying. they use this chance to finally give lisolette a happier ending
much of the story’s focus is on the characters slowly warming up to lisolette, and a bit on endo/kobayashi’s irl relationship. despite being the primary drive of the story, lisolette herself hardly moves the plot - if you know what i mean
regardless it’s undeniably adorable
tearmoon empire
no isekai, more of time travel? chronoskimming?
mia wakes up 10 years in the past after being sentenced to death. now afraid of guillotine-kun, she strives to solve the issues in her kingdom that had previously led to her doom
a bit similar to bakarina in terms of concept: avoid death flags, unknowingly recruits the people she meets into her little saintess cult. the misinterpretation is very strong, and in brilliantly funny ways
it has really fun narration ngl especially in the light novel
of course, i’ll claim palimony!
to prepare for her annulment, yulia starts scheming recording her fiance’s meetups with the heroine to use as evidence. if you’re gonna lose a suitor, might as well get some money out of it, right? along the way she gets involved with rudonik, one of the male leads
no reincarnation. rather than an otome game, the villainess story comes from a book written by a side character, and the “heroine” just decided to play it out in real life
the cast together is a riot, and it’s entertaining to watch yulia only think in profits and every connection she can make to achieve it
the villainess’ slow prison life began with her broken engagement
no isekai, just a plain old villainess
post-annulment, rachel is sentenced to imprisonment. which she enjoys and is thoroughly, hilariously prepared for
everyone’s a little afraid of rachel and for good reason. it’s better to find out yourself through the LN or manga, but let’s just say that even the king doesn’t want to deal with her XD
the holy grail of eris
now this one is interesting, putting the villainess trope into a mystery ghost story. that said, no isekai either
our innocent heroine constance attends a party and encounters scarlet, an executed villainess from ten years ago. a body possession and some public embarrassment later, they decide to team up to solve the mystery that might be behind scarlet’s death
i mean, ghost villainess? sign me up
+ some honorable mentions
i favor the villainess (the heroine goes for the villainess- girls? girls? yes)
a bellicose lady got reincarnated (a delinquent reincarnates as a heroine; what a concept :o unfortunately there’s not a lot of english content for it yet)
it seems i got reincarnated into a yandere otome game (i like that the mc actively makes it so that game can’t ever happen the way it should; plus, yanderes are always interesting to study)
inso’s law (modern isekai, and quite cute!)
the reincarnated young lady aims to be an adventurer / holy guardian tiger (similar to deathbound duke’s daughter in that there’s more of a focus on the fantasy aspect)
expecting to fall into ruin, i aim to become a blacksmith (so far the only one with a shounen tag that i like; its main charm is probably the cast and their interactions with each other eliza best girl)
since i’ve reincarnated as the villainess’ father i’ll shower my wife and daughter with love (big big wholesome vibes)
level 99 villainous daughter (severely op lady who takes no shit from the people looking down at her, and regularly thinks about blowing up the academy within the first 4 chapters? hell yeah)
may i please just ask one last thing? (post-annulment, the mc literally punches everyone in the room; it’s great)
this is getting long now oops
edit: i also made a visual-friendly personally-tagged-by-me bookshelf here!

(Context - my dnd party had lost a few of its NPC members and was looking for new ones when we stumbled across a hero-looking human in a tavern with a longbow and spear)
Cleric: hey, you look like the adventurer type! Whats your name?
Human: Yes, I am Abar
Me (mishearing as ABBA): Are you... a dancing queen?
GM: please no, its Abar
Cleric: would you like to join our party? We are on a long and glorious quest!
Me: yeah ABBA! Take a chance on us!
(Eventually he agrees)
Cleric: yes! I got him!
Me: but, if you change your mind, Abar, thats just fine. Because we are still free.
GM: goddammit
(Later Abar is with us and we are infiltrating an enemy base by sea and decide we all need codenames)
Barbarian: okay so 'gimme gimme gimme' and 'money money money' are hanging back as team 'Take a chance.' They will provide distractions and signal us of guard patrols
Me: right! 'One of Us' and 'Abba' make up team 'Fernando' and they will be going in first and looking for the gold
Barbarian: then me('Angel Eyes'), 'Super Trooper' and 'Mamma Mia' will be team 'Waterloo' and we will be entering second and looking for the mage to kidnap
Barbarian: may the best team get their goal first
Me: winner takes it all
DM: ...
DM: I hate you guys

Character intros! For my capstone project/ comic Craven :)
All of these are still in the design and concept stages but more or less this is what I nailed for the designs (excluding sam). These are from my look book series which is why they look spiffy but in their actual universe where they are struggling college students you know they be lookin like a hot mess and when they initially start they are 18/ 19 years old in their second year of college
The order is the same as above :D
Kailani “Kai” Rivers - half black / half hawaiian
Practicing wiccan from her father’s side. Film major. In a committed relationship with Mia Tram for half a year. She is head strong but very compassionate. Her dream is to direct musicals/ plays and to continue doing work with Mia in the future. They are currently roommates in the same apartment complex as Leo.
Leonardo “Leo” Mori - Half filipino / half japanese
Digital Art major and supernatural enthusiast. Leo is shy and awkward but when you get to know him he warms up to you. He loves conspiracy theories and believes in the paranormal. His best friend is Sam and he has a very noticeable crush.
Mia Tram- Vietnamese American
Vocal performance & acting major. Mia is really fashionable and is very outgoing and passionate about music. Her goal is to perform one of her gf’s plays / musicals and continue to work together. Her fave musical is Rent.
Taemin “Tae” Park - Korean American
Game development/ computer science major. Taemin is sarcastic but a compassionate friend when you get to know him. He loves dnd and often hosts games for his friends. When Taemin came out as trans Leo was the second to know, Tae’s twin sister was the first.
Samuel “Sam” Carson - White/ Native American
((OG belongs to @inflomora-art​ but was so sweet to let me include him in my capstone because originally the cast was just supposed to be him and Leo on adventures :D))
Doesn’t go to school but works freelance in photography as well as part time in a brick and mortar shop. His best friend is Leo and other than having a just as noticeable crush he is interested in cryptids. He drove to the small town of craven from montana and is known as a “mysterious outsider.”
Wallace “Wally” Oliver - white (British/ Scottish decent)
Film Major. Plays baseball for the Craven Ravens (they kinda suck). He comes off as a jerk but is really a sweet guy who needs better friends. After meeting the group he tries to be a better person. He has a slight crush on Kailani but admires her work mostly.
These are my characters and i hope to make them official and introduce them in my story :’) I love all of them and I can’t wait for them to hunt ghosts!
Basically for my thesis I wanted to focus on representation and and diversity in storytelling. As of lately I’ve been seeing a lot of graphic novels touching on topics such as identity, sexuality, ect. books like The Prince’s Dressmaker, Taproot, Nimona, and OMG Check Please have a fun and charming story as well as wonderful representation. For my senior year I really wanted to try and do that too so this school year I hope to  prove to myself I can make this happen and hoping to grow as an artist and person.
