(CUT)

I was working on SS and I was a little worried because I don't paint anymore and I was worried that the recipient would be disappointed about getting a single figure with flat colors, so I made up for it by drawing every single character they sent me

holy shit i just realized my dm doesn't follow me here so im free to post my Cringiest Takes

playing a mini campaign that takes place in a horror/gothic setting and made a barmaid :)

more thoughts under the CUT

One of roma's deep core beliefs is that the world is full of Beasts, and when Beasts are hungry, they Hunt. All Beasts Hunger, without exception. When Hunting, the strong crush the weak and then then everyone who isn't strong must Struggle or Die.

It's very defeatist, and he believes in this in both a neutral and negative way, in that while he's accepted many ... systems isn't the word he'd use, but that's basically what it is, in the world operate like this, roma is still sometimes Soooo bitter about it because. he doesn't consider himself one of the Strong, and while struggling is an Option, Struggling Sucks Ass. Being Prey Sucks Ass. Being Weak Sucks Fucking Ass. And he carried SOOO much anger and bitterness about it because he Knew there weren't folks who weren't struggling and being a person who Used To Be A Part Of A Human Family, roma Knew things didn't have to be this way But They Were And No One Was Helping Him.

I dont think that anger is gone when he talks with VR, but I think that his anger is part and parcel with how much he loves VR. Roma adores VR because he has a certain understanding of how shit and hard things can be and he's SO happy VR does actions that go against the weird cycle of the world, so if VR were to abandon the morals that roma Assumed VR had and loves so much, I dont think it'd be hard for roma to key back into his anger and be So reckless about it, bc the origin of love and anger are the same thing in him

WAIT i can talk about secret character lore bc none of party is on tumblr

one thing i Do Think About is that roma's big backstory secret is tl;dr that he was a cannibal for a little while, like hunting and killing actual people, and then VR saved him and he stopped being a cannibal and awful person bc the rescue was so affecting, but recently the party came across a diary where VR was talking about. killing All The Vistani bc he was aggrieved over his dead son and inwardly roma was like :) you're not allowed to do this and then yelled at vr to not do this

but if there ever came a point where VR didn't back down on doing that i imagine that roma would spiral So Hard... like mileage may vary but roma would do his best to Be The Monster Van Richten Told Him Not To Be

DRABBLE CHALLENGE 2024: DAY 2 / PEPPER

A new tree appeared leeside the mountain suddenly one morning, as an almost sure sign of a shift within the Fey courts. 

Of what shift, Roma could almost be sure. 

It was some trek to get there--past the landslide from two springs ago and the waterfall that flowed even in winter--so it was no signal for the humans in the village. Were anyone hoping to make an audience, their introduction would also go unheard, for its location so far above the treeline meant it was beyond the listening ear of noble houses Oak and Maple. 

There's an outsider. Roma concluded. 

It was grand; flies and bees swarmed around the enormous crown choked with tiny white blooms, delighted by the abundance of flowers so late in the season. Clusters of bright red berries grew like grapes along the lower boughs, and even lower so--below the branches-- the shade was so thick that when he reached into it, his fingers disappeared. 

As was custom, Roma stepped back ten paces and buried the offering within the loamy soil--not so close as to impose, but close enough to show deference. However the courts changed, he wanted to be on the right side of it. 

The decision proved to be prudent. 

The next day, the birds moved slower than usual. As he cut open the pheasants from that morning’s hunt, Roma saw their stomachs were full to bursting with bright red berries.
