When I Said I Would Like Her To Use Him Like A Chair, This Is What I Meant (reposting Other Stuff From

as the years of study wear on, the mind clutters

Hello! I wanted to do one of those 'meet the party' introduction posts for PCs and major recurring NPCs. Info below the cut, and best viewed on a blog :D Spoilers beware!

MEET THE PARTY

Robin “Basil” Cantemir (circle of dreams druid/wood half-elf feytouched) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Dahlver-nar) Cradle-robbed (literal) and forced into fey servitude. Party dad and default party face because no one else is remotely qualified. Romantically involved with Ireena and currently has her as a tooth in his mouth. 

Ireena Kolyana (NPC) she/her STATUS: Deceased CONDITIONS: is tooth A sweetheart. Party darling and moral center before her untimely death, undeath, and disintegration. Currently brought back as a tooth in Basil’s mouth.

Vicelinus aka Vice (grave cleric/variant human aka lizard) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: none Wandering holyman and servant of the Raven Queen. Self serving coward turned reluctant protagonist. Major arsonist tendencies. Party healer and part time devout follower (sorry Raven Queen.) 

Milivoj (champion fighter/human) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Taar Haak), Dark Power (Tarakamedes) Barovian and former oniichan. Extremely normal mcnormie normalson when he’s not shaking like a frightened chihuahua or being racist against Vistani. Party tank and Basil’s figurative son. 

Roma (gloomstalker ranger/human) (PC) he/him STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Osybus) Party dog with anger issues and primary DPS. Raised by wolves and socialized via Fey and it shows. Smells awful.

Maraschino aka Elle aka Kristiana aka Twothka etc. (trickster rogue/changeling) (PC) he/him STATUS: Deceased CONDITIONS: Dark Power (Vaund) Resident carefree prettyboy, wannabe gentleman, and former face of the party. Cluelessly insensitive. Roma’s closest friend in the party before he was consumed by Vaund. Haunts the narrative.

Van Richten (NPC) he/him STATUS: Alive Tsundere old man and verified Sadgirl (TM). Roma and Ez’s mentor, and the former’s favorite person ever.

Ez (NPC) she/her STATUS: Alive  Too cool for the party. Puts “the fool” in “fools go where angels fear to tread.” Roma’s maybe friend and not-girlfriend.

Stella Wachter (Fated Ally) (NPC) she/her STATUS: Alive CONDITIONS: Existing (The Stella Condition) Doing bad! Keeps DDLG-ing the party and giving them psychic damage because of it. Party’s fated ally that they want to teach counterspell to so bad.

Party doesn't have a group name, but the dynamic is four (formerly five) socially nerfed individuals and one (1) token girl. Practiced situation escalators. Frequent bickering and infighting due to conflicting value differences, stubborn egos, and the general stress of Barovia. Extremely rough around the edges, but through trial and error settled on a tenuous alliance and mutual understanding.

i mean this so seriously if you have any sort of creative project you can and should be a little obsessed with it. you should reread your own writing and look at your own art and brag about your ocs its literally good for your health

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

IVE ONLY BEEN SCROLLING TWIT IDLY FOR AN HOUR AND IM ALREADY LOCKED OUT THIS IS SOOO FUNNY? Anyway I don't think it'd be bad to talk here more (since I already blast out my thoughts on twitter) but I'm not used to the long format of tumblr so that may take some time to get used to (thinky emoji)

i'm so depressed i feel sick, is that the most ridiculous thing you ever heard?

oh m ygod i dont have more art to post bc ive been in work/life hell but i did a one on one with dm for roma to have a date with ez and it went. EXTREMELY WELL

sun, wind

MEME TIME MEME TIME

DRABBLE CHALLENGE 2024: DAY 5 / RING Roma gets new clothes.

Rahadin’s armor fit Roma perfectly--an honest surprise considering so few things did. The fine leather breast piece lay flat and uncomplicated over his clothes. The boots neither squeezed his toes nor chafed his ankles. Even when the collar was clasped fully shut, he felt like he could breathe comfortably. 

For someone who had a lot of complaints about clothes, Roma could admit that these were nice. They would serve as a good replacement for his tattered traveling leathers... though, cynically, Roma was fairly sure whatever benefit they provided would be negated by Strahd’s rage upon seeing that he, of all people, was wearing the chamberlain’s armor.   

Roma fished out the signet ring Rabbit had plucked from Rahadin’s body; like everything else, it was a satisfying weight at the center of his palm. Roma remembered the monster hunter they’d parted ways with just a few days earlier. 

“Knives would like this.” He thought as the raven insignia glinted in the early morning light. “I’ll give it to her the next time we meet up.” 

Roma pocketed the ring again. 

Well. Whatever. Strahd was dead set on killing everyone anyway. Not something a ring and some armor was going to change.
