Calling it now, 2025 is gonna be for the Sword Lesbians* *I’m saying lesbians bc it’s catchier to me idk but all queer femmes are welcome šŸ¤—

I have reached new levels of feral about a Critical Role video game. You have all been warned 😈

CRITICAL ROLE VIDEO GAME IS NOT A DRILL I will have to leave the Bad Place entirely before then, bc I'm already acting up in IGN's comments and the game is barely a twinkle in the eye. www.ign.com/articles/cri...

Elon Musk trying to buy Hasbro to mess with D&D shows how out of touch he is with the TTRPG community. Like dude, we talk about how much we hate Hasbro like every 6 months. Do you really think people won't make their own homebrew stuff/use old versions/seek other systems? #NerdSky #TTRPGs

There’s nothing new under the sun yall. Most stories are inspired by or draw from other stories, bc that’s how creativity works— you soak up things you do and don’t like like a sponge until they flavor your own work. Most games are built on the structures of other games.

If I had a nickel for every scholarly angsty mage scientist who I ended up liking almost against my will who was later confirmed as aspec by their creators… I’d have two nickels, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

Oh yeah, and we need to kill this idea that all tropes are bad and like of course, genres will have tropes, that's the entire point. that's what stories ARE, they have TROPES they are not inherently good OR bad, they just ARE*. And you can like or dislike certain ones, but that doesn't CHANGE them

Prepping for holiday meals really have you like on the most epic quests. You get everything and then are like 'oh god, I need chicken fat, baking soda, and a new spatula.' and none of them are at the same store.

The new BG3 path coming out is basically just free DLC, and I am stoked. I can finally play all of my irl d&d characters if I want. And take pictures of then being adorable little problems

If there’s ever an Exandria video game… prepare for me to be insufferable. Like. The MOST insufferable. I will reach levels of annoying nerd you simply won’t be able to comprehend šŸ˜…

if you're working today* you're allowed to have two beers on the clock *this is the exception for americans and the guaranteed by law minimum for europeans

ā€œModern gamingā€ is dope as hell. We are just currently stuck in a deeply regressive social spiral and those tend to want to take art (which includes games and ā€œnew mediaā€, now) back in time too.

It’s wild to me that the moment you have the time, energy and resources to pursue hobbies, there will be some a-hole telling you you shouldn’t have those hobbies bc they’re ā€œchildlikeā€. Feel free to tell them to eff off, honestly šŸ˜‡

… Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is just a dunamancy simulator. I shall not explain myself šŸ˜‚ (I’m having a great time lmao)

Crochet Project: Bellara Lutare from Dragon Age: The Veilguard! So it was only a matter of time before I started making Veilguard companions in amigurumi form! I accidentally bought the wrong color yarn for a custom Rook and decided to make Bellara too! #amigurumi #dav #veilguard #dragonage

Never has the two cakes theory applied more than Dragon Age: The Veilguard and BG3. It’s TWO. CAKES. One cake existing doesn’t make the other cake bad. Have em both, have one, whatever you prefer.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

i know it won't happen but if I could do a DnD session with anyone from the Critical Role cast it would absolutely be Taliesin as Caduceus. That firbolg is a balm for the soul I swear and bless Taliesin for creating him

Those who can’t do… gripe on the internet about other people’s creative output 😊 People really need to try MAKING something that requires actual effort. The endorphins are similar to a runner’s high.

This has me absolutely cackling. Even his professional partners are like, Nah Drake. Nah. Ouch.

Blocking is a boundary. If you take that as an act of violence, that’s on you and says a lot about how you probably treat people’s boundaries irl.

I played through Siege of Weisshaupt yesterday. If you are refusing to give this game a chance, idk what to say to you anymore. You’re missing out on some great moments. If you are enjoying it— who else had to take a couple of attempts at that boss šŸ˜‚ #veilguardspoilers

ā€œreading fics is for jobless peopleā€ the best fic you’ll ever read is written by women in their 40s with incredibly successful corporate jobs that allow them to buy ungodly amounts of merch, i promise you

I love that I’m finding all my fave CritRole madness over here too 🄰

his 'oh shit i'm a dad' look #veilguardspoilers

An eye for an eye leaves the world blind, y’all. I’ve seen a lot of people forget that recently. I’m petty, but I’m not gonna stand for people being cruel to others over imagined or (frankly) tiny slights in the grand scheme of things. I’m not THAT petty.

I think a lot about what would have happened if Freddy Mercury had access to today’s HIV drugs and what more he would have done with that. And I’ll keep yelling about it, so the next generation of queer folk might have it even better re: treatment options.

my sister: why do you delete so many posts me: sometimes you don't know something's really stupid until you send it out into the world my mother: *staring at me just a beat too long*

I want to say that the dev(s) who designed the companion banter in DA-TV to start over if they/we are interrupted deserves a HUGE bonus and a icy, cold pint.

This. Contribute to the fandoms you are in beyond ā€œdiscourseā€. Share gameplay, book passages, movies you love or find fascinating. Write fanfic. Make fan art. Do something aside from type out toilet thoughts. It will change your experience of fandom forever.

Oh yanno, screaming in public health nerd as usual šŸ˜‚

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

I don't know, have you ever just tried maybe, not being shitty? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
