and then my gf requested i give them jorts so 💀

one more thing! i discovered that basically every song from mumford and sons album "wilder mind" fits CS. istg. the ones that match the vibes most are: tompkins square park, just smoke, cold arms, only love, and hot gates. (but the wolf, monster, snake eyes, broad-shouldered beasts, and ditmas fit well too) so do with that what you will

How are things going with Eddie? I always love seeing your posts about The Warlock Boi XD
Hello! We’ve been on hiatus for the campaign Eddie is in during quarantine time but we’re hoping to play again sometime soon! Last time we left off our party was in the middle of a haunted house, SO AAAA I wouldn’t say things are going well but it was definitely a wild place to end on a cliff hanger ahaha. I’m actually drawing a little thing with Eddie and the Winter Prince now so hopefully I can share that with everyone soon!

How do you come up with the traits/bonds/ideals/flaws for your backgrounds? it's something i've always found difficult when trying to homebrew my own.
I think my approach really comes from this perspective of “what are the different kinds of person who would have had/chosen this life,” or alternatively, “what would this kind of life do to someone?”
so, idk, let’s imagine a background called the Scribe. The Scribe background might be similar to the Sage, but it’s not as reclusive--instead, the Scribe travels around documenting the stories of people, or maybe one specific person. You know, we go through all the other steps, and we get to those personality tables.
Traits are 1d8, so they can seem a little daunting.
But okay, a Scribe as I’ve described them here might be a sociable person who loves drawing little details out from their interviewee(s), or maybe they’re standoffish because of the prestige of their job. Are they stubborn truth-seekers, are they enthusiastic storytellers?
Well, those are four different traits right there. Traits are best described as ways the PC will interact with other characters as a general rule. It’s sort of a core feature of their personality. The other three--Bonds, Ideals, and Flaws--are best described as exceptions to that rule. When a PC runs into a situation that connects to these other aspects of personality, those aspects will make them change their behavior.
Flaws are great, because they’re weaknesses that, as I’ve said before, are also assets. Writing a good flaw means not shying away from the bad part: most players will pick up the good side naturally. For our Scribe, let’s see. An interesting Scribe flaw might be that they’re gullible: who would lie to a record-keeper? So they believe all sorts of tall tales and made-up legends. This can translate in mechanical terms to a low insight score, but it doesn’t have to: this might just be a character’s blind spot. Or instead, the Scribe could be secretive, if the records they keep are for a private or exclusive institution, and they hesitate to share vital information. 
Bonds tie a character’s present to their past or future; unfinished business, lingering emotional stakes, or a goal of some kind. These can be the most backstory-ish elements of the background, so they make a good jumping-off point for a complicated relationship. Perhaps the Scribe used to chronicle the adventures of a hero they were in love with, but when the hero rejected them, they started tearing the hero’s reputation apart. Maybe the Scribe fears being forgotten after death, and works tirelessly to become a legend in their own right--as someone who records the lives of mythical people, it’s easy to see how they could end up being obsessed with their own legacy.
Ideals are in some ways the easiest one of these because there’s a simple formula to use: one is Good, one is Evil, one is Chaotic, one is Lawful, one is Neutral, and one could be any alignment. Regardless of your actual feelings on alignment, I think the Ideals section is the best way to use alignment. An Evil Scribe may believe that to be successful, you have to ruin someone else’s reputation. A Lawful Scribe might believe the most valuable thing in the world is honesty--brutal honesty, sometimes, but to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. A character’s ideals are a guiding code for their actions. They might judge others by their code, choose to live-and-let-live, or even have a hard time living up to their own expectations for themself.
Ideals and Bonds are motivators-- they’re reasons for doing what you’re doing. Traits and Flaws are characteristics--the way you are, as shaped by your life experiences.
I hope that helps!

Rules: answer the questions and tag 9 people you’d like to catch up with or get to know better
Favourite colour: purple, or ocean blue 
Last song listened to: with words? I relistened to HNOC last night, so it would be Once And Future King. However I was listening to the wolf 359 soundtracks after that, so I suspect the actual answer is “Concern That The Current Course of Action is Vaguely Unethical”. I love the titles of these. 
Last show (completed): uhhhh I haven’t watched TV in ages? The podcast Zero Hours. 
I just finished: Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims. It’s a good book, I highly recommend it!
Currently watching: Nothing. Unless you count staring at my copy of The Wintertime Paradox and trying to convince myself not to start it until Christmas. I am spending a lot of time staring at the book. I should probably put it away somewhere. 
Currently re-watching: Again, I’m not really watching TV right now, but I am relistening to Wolf 359. 
Sweet, spicy, or savoury: I’ll go spicy but all of them are good
Craving: lunch at that one specific Cambodian restaurant in Christchurch, which is not helpful, since I’m in a different country
Tea or coffee: Herbal tea. 
Tagging: @lesbiandanieljacobi, @onthebirdroads, @6-and-7, @bellesaysmeow, and anyone else who wants to do it!!!

tep i think it's HILARIOUS that u call baby yoda "yodito;" is there an origin story to this nickname, or is it just something u randomly came up with?
OH okay so I didn’t come up with the nickname. I don’t remember the first place I saw him called yodito, but the post I always think of when someone asks is this one

Rain maybe you and Charlotte should run as like,,,,, president and vice president together or something; you can decide who's who via pool noodle duel XD
kldsfjlskdjf Vote for Charlotte & Rain! I’ll start printing badges n stuff. Charlotte can be president, she’s obviously the ideas person. My job is just to shout “trans rights!” whenever she pauses for effect.

What's the name of your new DnD setting? and what's the culture like at large?
It’s called Morterra and it’s early modern but nothing’s hugely based on anywhere in particular. There’s even a eusocial country

asfjdkg ivq when did u get into ynm? have u liked it for a while, or did u only recently discover it? also do u have any meta thöüghts on it? 👀 (i noticed u tagged it "braxcore" in one post, which is A Mood XD)
I binged the anime and manga in two days!!!! ive just discovered it (2 days ago..)and its SO to my tastes william is basically brax if hes born in a stagnant shit society with hopes of change… also going on w similarities they both wanted to make symbols out of themselves(and their own sacrifice, but im talking deindum war brax now so spoilers for benny s11) but moriarty makes his own identity a symbol and inspire change while brax wanted to become a more abstract symbol of hope? like his personal identity and his image does not matter that much in his grand scheme of things
and I love how moriarty is actually more moral than brax that he knows he shouldnt be imposing judgement and execution on others’ lives no matter what, like he isnt above others (commie shit!!!) while brax literally treats everyone including himself as pawns while he executes his plan like a chessmaster?? hes not controlled by his own morals and feelings but the grand plan so that allows him a guiltless detachment at least while he is executing his plan(no time for grieving and self reflection) and I fucking hate his stubborn convoluted ass!!!! like allow urself some humanity pls bitch
im also. lowkey sad the moriartys have a found family that trusts each other while brax fucking reveals nothing to his found family
also like professor?? PROFESSOR?????? dont mind me ill go sob in a corner

We let our cows out of the barn today and let them run onto the fields and they were very happy animals. We normally let them out in May time but with the Weather being so nice here for once in the UK, we let them out earlier than anticipated.

i rly like the idea of blacker having a cat; what are more of ur headcanons about barbara?
she likes lying in the sun and lying on top of blacker’s work that he took home with him. these coincide a lot. 
he brings her to work with him occasionally and she sleeps in the corner most of the time. ruby’s more of a dog person but Nobody Is Immune To The Power Of Barbara and she appreciates this good good cat a lot too. 
froghorn’s allergic to cats which is tragic but also he knows how much blacker loves his beautiful furry girl so he makes an effort to take his allergy meds and not complain
