the biggest problem with writing fantasy in english is that there's really no alternate universe phrasing that carries the exact tone and context to the reader as "jesus fucking christ"
isn’t this great? we each get to choose the thing that eats us.
[ID: Fanart of Carpenter and Faulkner from The Silt Verses. In the first, they stand side-by-side against a dark blue background, backed by the cover art’s prayer mark and surrounded by bright green designs of waves, fish, fish skeletons, and fish hooks. Carpenter looks tired, and Faulkner is smiling a bit unnervingly.
The second is animated and shows a young Carpenter’s wide-eyed, sorrowful reflection in the goldfish pond. The piece is from her point of view, and her hand can just be seen on the ground. A tear falls from Carpenter’s eye and sends ripples through the water. End ID]
More stuff from that session
one of my players characters gaslit an npc and I fully thought that the player had somehow missed the entirety of the plot for a little before I realized his character was lying
The situation in question involved my players spending 20 minutes hyping themselves up to go down a trap door to a cellar with nothing in it.
at some point my players used basic logic and I was so proud of them
i think it's fun to think about how the starblaster crew probably doesn't understand how humans age. like they've got magnus and lucretia, who are technically adults, but still very baby. and then they've got barry, who is still baby to some races, but not in others. and i imagine that barry is probably regarded as the Human Expert because he's oldest, but he's so disconnected for the concept of Childhood that he gives everyone else wildly inaccurate information.
magnus is like "im in my twenties, man" and barry's just like "that's high school age, i think." and lup is like "humans come adults at 18, right?" and barry's like "...do we? truly?" he has no fucking clue anymore. barry's not sure when humans stop teething. 8, maybe? if he has to talk to a child, he uses the same language and vocab he would if he was talking to a college student.
magnus and lucretia 100% use this to their full advantage. like, sorry, i cant do that, I'm just a baby ))): in which case, barry decides that humans are adults at 18, thank you very much, magnus.

Screaming crying because I hate every piracy guide I come across on here.
Amber has like I minor eating disorder or something right. I skinny 13 year old should not be watching her weight. They fully restricted these kids media access but didn't mange to take out the parts of it that push unhealthy body standards. The watsonain explanation was that project Osiris was created by people who where not very smart.
In all serious this is the one part of the series that actually bugs me. It definitely normalizes some messed up stuff. If they called attention to it or made it part of her character arc it could have been really interesting.
Guys Amber Masterminds would be such a good character if she was written better

yap/ramble incoming:
godddd im so fucking bored. not like every moment just like. overall
bc literally everything pre-covid is just an absolute fucking blur to me, but august 2020 i got into dsmp and there was no turning back from there. so for as long as I can somewhat-clearly remember, I’ve been obsessed with various minecraft roleplays, and now I’m just not. and its so fucking weird I feel like there’s a giant hole in my brain and life
which may sound a bit dramatic for minecraft roleplay but listen. the past 4+ years pretty much every single day I’ve thought/daydreamed about mcrp in some capacity for at least multiple hours. every day. I’ve watched and rewatched hours upon hours of vods for pure enjoyment and imagined animatics of those vods, and of pretty much every song I’ve listened to. the past year I’ve been frequently listening to lifesteal vods like podcasts in my earbuds every chance I get while at school.
and even tho my interest in each different series wavered off a bit, something else came in to replace it before it was actually gone. but now I’ve lost interest in lifesteal and there’s just…nothing??? to replace it??????
for the first time in almost 5 years I don’t have any story to daydream about that I actually care that much about. nothing to take up as much time as mcrp series have been taking up almost as long as I can remember at all clearly.
like yeah I have a few hobbies outside of watching youtube and daydreaming, and mcrp wasn’t the only thing I watched, but like. I’m not interested in anything nearly as strongly as i was in mcrp, and now that interest is just gone and I’m so fucking bored
I’ve been endlessly playing worst premade ever videos to fill that time bc I do also sometimes daydream animatics of those videos, and I’m trying to get into d20 (partially bc the half-goofy half-dramatic tone + the fact its roleplay is similar to mcrp and partially bc i already watch+enjoy some other dropout shows so it’s easier to convince my brain to watch it) and the story is interesting but dnd’s long fight scenes are really not engaging for me so it’s tough
ok the process of writing this and putting it into words has made me realize that either mcrp as a whole or the individual smps I switched through being obsessed with may have been special interests (i got diagnosed w/ autism like a week ago) and thats why I feel so empty without it so im gonna go look into that bye 👍
