Had My First D&D Game Today As DM

a rlly good trope is a teenager who was forced to grow up too fast suddenly being surrounded by teens who love having fun and goofing off, and just slowly starting to come out of their shell and do dumb stuff just for the hell of it bc they can finally act their age

I've been thinking a lot about the like moral frame work that Malevolent sets out because I don't know, what else am I going to do with my braincells.

Interestingly, and fittingly, it's very much a coming together of one ideal from Arthur and one ideal from John which both together make up the central part of the story.

From Arthur we get the precept of having to own your past. To John in episode 14 he says "You are the King. You don’t get to deny that because you’re choosing to change. Own it. Grow, change, be better, but own your mistakes." This seems to be the same rule he holds himself to with Faroe, or perhaps he holds onto thia ideal because of what happened with Faroe.

On the other hand, John brings to the table the idea that anyone can be redeemed. As early as episode 3 he says "I have to hope that any creature can be redeemed." This is before John knows who or what he is, but faced with the possibility of what he might be he wants to believe that he's capable of changing. This idea continues to carry through the Dreamlands arc after he learns he's the King in Yellow, but I think it's become most evident again in episode 26 when he conforts Arthur about Faust. The King has not won. If John can seek redemption after everything he's done, than certainly Arthur, a human forced to those extremes under intense stress and trauma, can be.

But... The ideal that Malevolent sets out isn't either one of these things, it's the combination of both. You cannot forget your past mistakes. You have to live with them. But you can be redeemed from them. No matter what mistakes lie in your past you can move forward and become a better person. You carry those things with you, but you are not restrained by them.

Would recommend these fics for anyone looking for something new and angsty to read… and because I have no life I’ve already read most of them oop

I dunno if this has been asked before, but would you mind recommending some good ol bnha fics? If not that’s okay! I just really enjoy reading the ones you mention on your blog

why not bust out my whole dang list

now most of these fics are focused more around plot than shipping but there are some shippy ones here n there

also 90% of them are also at least 20k words at minimum bc do i love my slow burn fics

under the cut i divided the fics in some categories so its just not one giant mess lmao hope you can some you enjoy in here

symbol guide:

*     - great fic, if you’re not sure where to start give these a shot || **    - one of my top favorites ||✔    - fic is part of a series and the first (or multiple) of it is complete ||✔✔ - fic is completely 100% finished ||

edit: main ships in fics have been tagged as requested (but once again, most of the fics do not revolve around the romance, so keep that in mind)

Bastard (Good)

You’re a bastard. A wet cat, if you will. And we love you for it. You’re a little shit, but in the good way. You are the baddest babygirl. You killed a man, but you looked good doing it. You flirted with the hero and the enemy. All of Tumblr is madly in love with you. Congrats, I guess?

Tagging EVERYONE but especially @magicaltear, @the-beeses-kneeses, @wafflesrisa, @mykingdomforapen, @marbat, @scientistsinistral, @halberdierminister​!

I’m not a classicist, but I suspect one of the reasons so many of the Greek gods are portrayed so unflatteringly was less because they were seen as villains than because they represented their domains.  Of course Zeus sometimes misuses his power, that’s what a king does.  Of course Artemis’s wrath is wild and painful, that’s what nature can be.  Of course Hades snatched away a young girl from her mother’s arms, that’s what death does.  This is one of the reasons callout posts for some gods comparing them negatively to ‘nicer’ gods are kind of missing the point.

This is a happy birthday present for my friend, as sort of a thank you for getting me and our other friends into D&D. We've all been wanting to play for way too long, but it's thanks to them that we were finally able to play together and just have fun experiencing it for ourselves.

Self-deprecating inner monologue & backstory that involves several years of lethargic depression

Shut up, I don’t have a problem (･_･;)

Reblog with your most common writing cliche

I’ll go first. All my characters have a habit of Raising a Single Eyebrow. 

Can confirm, literally anyone with ocs is silently spending every spare moment wishing they could tell you everything they love about their little imaginary babies and how far they’re going

Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol
