OH MY GOOOOOOD

That trailer was so fun I'm so hyped. Also that CAST man. I'm so excited to see everyone's brand of comedy and RP mix with Matt's DM style. I can't believe they'd give us Anjali AND Aabria AND Brennan AND Lou AND Zac. I know we were all talkin like "who's Matt's emotional support player gonna be" but it makes so much sense that it's Brennan and Aabria. Like OF COURSE they'd give us the big 3 at one table. I can't wait AAAAHHHHHHHHH

#and despite it being a war the trailer seems like it wont be as lethal as acoc? idk #also why everyone so hot? #not brennans pc #but like of course zac comes out with a hot guy and goes 'yeah hes smelly and incompetent' #dimension 20 spoilers #dimension 20 #acoc #a crown of candy #anjali bhimani #aabria iyengar #matthew mercer #brennan lee mulligan #lou wilson #zac oyama #d20 #the ravening war

Dropout Does The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals

So my theory about overlap of Dropout and Team Starkid seems to be accurate, and people seemed to like my Dropout does Nerdy Prudes Must Die post, so I'm back for another. Same method and criteria as my previous post, you can go see that if you want to know what they are. Also, I have previously done a similar list with Internet Personalities that included a handful of Dropout people, but I'm gonna try to make this one different.

Also spoilers for potentially anything in the Hatchetfield verse

Paul: Ross Bryant

Ross is a great straight man (in the comedy sense, I don't know his sexuality) while being very funny in his own right, and I think, while Paul has a lot of his own funny moments, it's very important that his character is also the more normal guy reacting to the madness around him. Also, he would slay the Jekyll and Hyde homage that is Let it Out.

Emma : Siobhan Thompson

I think one of the essential parts of Emma's character is an underlying exhaustion with the world, and that is very Adaine Abernant and Ruby Rocks, so I think Siobhan would embody that very well.

Charlotte: Vic Michaelis

I don't think I've ever heard them do a transatlantic accent before, but I just have this gut feeling they'd be so good at it.

Ted: Ify Nwadiwe

While I do genuinely think Ify would be great in the part, if I'm being fully honest, this casting is because I (despite my better judgment) find Ted Spankoffski hot, so casting arguably the hottest man in Dropout in this part makes me seem less damaged for being attracted to the self-proclaimed sleazeball. Also him and Vic seem like they would be great playing off each other.

Bill: Brian "Murph" Murphy

He just has "refuses to drink during the apocalypse so he can be the DD" energy.

Mr Davidson: Brian David Gilbert

Since I'm splitting up all the parts, this basically turns Mr Davidson into a Princess Track where the actor just shows up, sings about desire and being choked while he jerks off, but laments how he can never achieve his dreams, and then pretty much leaves, and I don't know why, but that seems right up BDG's alley.

Melissa: Lisa Gilroy

Lisa Gilroy seems nice, but also kinda scares me, and those are the correct vibes for Melissa (#heymelissacore)

Sam: Jacob Wysoki

My only concern about this casting is that he'd go SO HARD in You Tied Up My Heart that he would keep breaking the handcuffs and/or chair, but that's fine, it would be worth it.

Nora: Katie Marovitch

The "Decaf?" parts of Cup of Roasted Coffee already sounds a bit like her TBH.

Zoey: Rehka Shankar

I feel like Zoey is such an underrated, funny side character in the show (I know she's a very small part, but like every line she has is a banger) and I feel like Rehka is a very underrated performer, so this is a good match.

Greenpeace Girl: Persephone Valentine

Making up the Save the Sea Turtles campaign is such a Sam Nightengale move, and also she would eat up Lah Dee Dah Dah Day.

Alice: Surena Marie

She's got a bit of a baby face (I thought she was like 25) and I think she would handle the change from Alice to Hivemind Alice really well.

Deb: Emily Axford

I'm definitely not just casting this because I want Emily to be my protective and caring girlfriend...

Professor Hidgens: Josh Ruben

I don't have an explanation for this one, this is vibes alone.

General MacNamara: Brennan Lee Mulligan

"Wear a Watch" and a song highlighting how the hivemind is essentially fascist and using the military to destroy any resistance to their regime is so Brennan core.

Homeless Man: Ally Beardlsey

I just feel like this is the part they'd want.

Dan Reynolds: Lou Wilson

Icons play Icons.

Donna: Aabria Iyengar

Icons play Icons

Hard Cuts:

Jacob Wysoki as Ted

Mike Trapp as Paul

Emily Axford as Emma

Jess Ross as Charlotte

Lily Du as Zoey

Grant O'Brien as Professor Hidgens

Grant O'Brien as Ted

Ally Beardlsey as Ted

I adore that Fabian is chronically bad with women despite being popular and hot everyone say thank u lou wilson

[frogonamelon]

Wow, familial love really ended up being a theme here huh?

Some Atlas (by the incredible @sodaspons) warmups for your consideration.

We have entered the unknowable for me in terms of 2k12 canon as I still have yet to see what isn't on Netflix and know next to nothing about the show moving forward.

I love Karai and Venus' dynamic so much! Adorable! I love that they get to talk about the whole guardian thing and share memories of Shen <3

Since I included HC Rise! Miwa:

'Jitsu for Justice' (Lou's second to last film and the last one before he proposes to BM) had a lone wolf and cub storyline in which Lou meets a young deaf & mute girl and takes her on as an apprentice. She would reappear in ‘Hot Soup Forever’, Lou’s last film.

This young girl is Huay Lian (meaning Blossom and Lotus respectively) played by child actress Miwa (undecided last name). This is also why Splinter knows some sign language to teach to his kids.

Lian is played by either Oroku Miwa (the descendant of Saki’s son/ Karai’s brother Hiroto) or Miwa Smith (with Jennika’s last name). Her and Yoshi's dynamic is very sweet and kind of parental/ fun uncle and precocious niece.

Inspirations: Mara Wilson & Danny DeVito (Matilda) in behind the scenes and Harley Keener in Iron Man 3 & Endgame and Jesper & Margu's dynamic from Klaus in JfJ and HSF.

The drawing itself is Miwa and Yoshi/ Lou on the red carpet. Yes, his suit is bright blue and sparkly in my head.

Thinking about Exandria Unlimited Calamity and the PCs

I think that the best character was Nydas Okiro. Those lines "Are the stars still there?" "We cannot be responsible for what happens" "Material goods mean nothing anymore. Life is what we'll save." And Lou Wilson's own admission "I didn't plan on being this character in this story. I planned to be flippant. But as soon as you put one little prophecy in my face." It says a lot about Nydas that he can't just wave it away. The writer in me wants to explain it as while he's just as arrogant as the rest of them. He was a pirate. And pirates are notoriously superstitious. All the weird stuff happening. Things looking worse and worse and worse. And he just cannot get that prophecy out of his head. He doesn't want to believe it. But he can't put it away. He's the first Arcane User to admit that they were wrong (not in words but in deeds). And I love him. I love him and his dream. His brother. Him and Zerxus. A tough but firm firm firm love between the two of them.

The player who fulfilled the assignment best is absolutely Aabria. Laerryn Coromar Seelie is the single most arrogant, too-smart-to-deal-with-you, closed off, workaholic, shut in of a wizard I've ever seen. And the trick of it all. The white hot truth. Is that it's deserved. Probably the single strongest 14th level wizard in the city. (The septarion are probably "stronger" and have "9th level spells" but she could probably kick their asses too.) She makes it work because she really is that smart. Which beautifully, poetically, thematically, and literally destroys the world as they knew it. Yes yes I could go on ablut the act of love that doomed the world but while that is true and beautiful I would much rather focus on the act of arrogance. Laerryn killed that tree because she didn't know what it did, it was planted by druids, and because it was draining her cities power. All incredibly foolish reasons. It's fair to say that she thought that because it was unknown to her it couldn't be important, because the druids planted it it couldn't be important, because it was draining so much of her precious energy that she needed to finish her life's work it couldn't be important. And she was wrong. Aabrias face when Brennan tells them exactly what the tree is for is utter despair. And honestly it looks like Aabria kinda convinced herself that that tree was evil (props on the acting if that was all for us though). This is all to the point that I love Laerryn. She's great. She definitely pissed me off the most as the character who shrugged off or explained away the apocalypse as hokum until it quite literally blew up in her face. But that's what that character is for. And the fourth episode gave us her utter and true redemption. To completely upend her life's work and to change it's trajectory in a matter of almost two dozen minutes is both insanely impressive and a feat you only do if you know that your ambition isn't actually worth the world. And also I say redemption and make lot of emphasis on Laerryn destroying the tree. But Brennan was pretty clear, that blight just pushed opened an already leaking floodgate, not to mention the rest of the betrayer gods doing their own thing. Yes they all screwed up and Laerryn definitely screwed up. But this was all still going to happen anyway.

Can we talk about these characters and not bring up the one and only Zerxus Ilerez? I mean. Come on. Who is the most Proud Man here? Talk about a character dedicated to the true and utterly futile. And talk about a man who constantly constantly constantly tells himself that he is better than all his peers and honestly I imagine his friends. Asmodeus was right. All of his actions can be justified, but he rivals Laerryn in the distaste for the Holy and Natural. He just happens to be nicer about it. Laerryn hates I imagine the idea of power that is given to you (Holy) or the mysticism (natural) instead of the pure arcane you get from taking it for yourself. Zerxus I think truly and utterly believes himself to be better than the gods. That there is no wisdom to be had, no worth to be taken from them. The only reason Asmodeus ploy works is that Zerxus was 100% ready to believe the gods were these towering horrifying subjugating forces. He despises them in a unique way to most of the other brass ring. And it truly fucks him over. Also I have never seen a character so truly ready to double no triple no quadruple down on a bad decision. There is no explanation I can think of for not taking that Out at the end that Nydas had given him. Maybe it wouldn't have worked and the deal had already been struck. But to not even try is so incomprehensible to me. I love it. Also props to Brennan as Asmodeus, Father of Lies. As a patented Devil and Hell lover, this fed me so well, both his sweet lie and his ugly truth.

I wasn't expecting Loquatious to have as much Depth as he did. It makes sense. These are all great players. But I wasn't expecting this deeply deeply lovestruck man. More than anything his greatest failing was loyalty. It was beautiful and touching and wonderful. But well, attacking Nydas? Killing a woman? Potentially lying to the whole city? The whole world? All to save one woman. He's able of course to see the bigger picture. He got Laerryn to stop after all. But his loyalty doomed the world, just as his loyalty saved it. I'll say it here I'm just now noticing that all of their "Fatal flaws" played a part in starting the Apocalypse just as much as it played a part in mitigating it. Quay wouldn't stop Laerryn until perhaps it was too late, and then chose to stay and be with the woman he loves and to help her and help the city. Laerryn literally destroyed the tree and then ensured that the Titans couldn't come through. Patia had to know what the tree knew, and then gave all of that back to the city. Zerxus made a deal with the devil because he thought he saw a spark of redemption and then did the same thing again with Vespin Chloras and it worked. The only two that didn't have a direct action that I can remember in causing the apocalypse are Cerrit and Nydas, they both of course have their general blames, Nydas hoarding for much too long and not valuing the people until he did and Cerrit realizing that the order never looked up at the people running things whichet a crazy plan like this happen.

Speaking of Cerrit. Man Travis killed it. The only survivor of the ring of brass. The only non magical man there. The only one to say enough was enough. To call them out and to keep an eye on them. Nydas was the one that made me the happiest, I love a character desperate to avoid their horrible fate, the one character in a tragedy that tries to avoid the things to come. Laerryn is easily so central and important and cool and awful (in that "how do you not see it!" Way) and wonderful. But Cerrit was just so genuine. Yeah he was a Noir detective bird man. But also he was just a dad. Just a dad. And he cared so much that it saved them, and he cared so much that it saved him! It's just really sweet.

Patia was great and Marisha was awesome. But weirdly and I mean this in the most complimentary of ways. Patia probably made the smallest splashes in the group. Makes sense for the woman constantly controlling herself and others. She had her clutch moments and being a badass. She showed a caring in her surprising for her trope. But she never shocked or awed me personally. She was a conduit for shocking knowledge though. Through the scenes with the tree. I really don't mean this in a negative way. I think it's true to her character in a way I can't really describe.

That's what I think about the characters!

#long post #exandria unlimited: calamity #exu laerryn #exu patia #exu zerxus #exu nydas #exu cerrit #exu loquatius #i know aabria sometimes looks at stuff like this. just wanna put this here in case she looks. i truly do love laerryn. absolutely beautiful

for the question thing i am requesting fabien aramais seacaster <3

an interesting start! see fabian isn't necessarily my favorite of the dimension 20 kids (hiiii kristen applebees hiii fig faeth) but i'll take my shot at everyone's favorite pirate boy

favorite thing about them lou wilson's performance in general is amazing, but i think my favorite facet of fabian's whole thing is that he walks like a jock but in every other way is a fucking loser. brennan lee mulligan put it best during the party episode during season 1 when he was able to, despite being the big man on campus sportsbro type, perfectly communicate with the nerds. fabian is at his best when he's kind of pathetic and this is true both before and after his toxic masculinity arc.

least favorite thing about them his heterosexuality

favorite line "what the fuck is that. what the FUCK is THAT." in reference to fig's sexy rat

brOTP FABIAN, RIZ, AND GORGUG FRIENDS 4 LIFE. The Boys Night one shot means the world to me

OTP idk tbh the ideal fabian is perpetually alone coz he cant get pussy. ragh barkrock i guess

nOTP aelwyn, while i love their toxic hatesex conceptually i think that fabian deserves slightly better. i do think its INSANELY funny that he canonically fucks her because she reminds him of his dad

random headcanon fabian doesn't actually know the rules of bloodrush he's just been kinda winging it. fortunately ragh doesn't either and gorgug is only sort of aware of what's going on so nobody's called him out yet

unpopular opinion honestly, my only popular opinion on him is that he's not like the best character in the cast. i love him, i love all the bad kids with all my heart. but idk i really vibed with kristen's character arc more and while i think his development with season 2 was really good i never quite vibed with him as much as some of the other characters. also i think he's gay

song i associate with them "hot girl bummer" by blackbear

favorite picture of them the specific pic from @notoriousmasc where him and ragh are doing a pirate cosplay

#ask #character ask #lenroot #dimension 20 #fabian aramais seacaster #i DO quite like him tho #like i hate on him but it's out of love

If the Parks and Rec crew played D&D

Ben arranges a game of D&D for the office in an effort to boost team morale. Leslie shows up mostly to support Ben. 

Ann shows up because Leslie begged her not to leave her alone. 

Tom shows up because he’s heard D&D is super hot with the ladies right now and has bought some very expensive, very gaudy, very not-weighted correctly dice that never seem to roll high numbers. 

Ron shows up partway through the game after being goaded by Leslie. However, he believes this sort of “make pretend” to be lying, so his character ends up being a human fighter named Ron who has proficiency with woodcarver’s tools, because “these are all true facts about me.” 

April and Andy don’t play and are just there to watch until halfway through when Andy becomes gripped by the role-play and joins in, complete with a really compelling, deeply thought out character… that has no character sheet. 

Chris plays because he thinks it’s just the neatest thing in the world, but ends up dumping all his stats into constitution and creating a super unbalanced and broken character, realizing that he’s been doing the same his whole life.  

Donna doesn’t show because she’s not interested in Ben’s “silly little fairy game” but that’s actually because she’s in a long-time, super high-fantasy epic campaign DMed by Matt Mercer and players Joe Manganiello, Lou Wilson, and Aabria Iyengar.

Gerry buys dice and a player’s handbook to learn the game and then gets texted the wrong address. He never gets to play.

Where Do I Even Start: Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDPOD)

Start with: “Frostwind’s Mandatory Celebration of Maximum Luminosity: A Somber Festival (Holiday Special w/ Amir Blumenfeld)” (released December 19, 2019)*

Why THAT Episode?

This episode is a one-shot with the three recurring characters from the first Bahumia campaign, plus guest Amir Blumenfeld, who had not played D&D until he guested on NADDPOD. You get a good introduction to the first three characters played by regulars Emily Axford, Jake Hurwitz, and Caldwell Tanner, as well as the DM’ing style of Brian Murphy (who goes by Murph). There is a lot of humor and fun - even as things go wildly off the rails in the first few minutes!

This is also a great episode to start with if you have never played D&D before and don’t know what it’s like. I sent this episode to a friend who was new to D&D to give them an example of how loose and silly D&D can be, which helped them feel more at-ease about being a newbie at the table! The characters all play at a low level for this episode, and the players aren’t shy about being silly. Plus, listening to a session with a brand-new player can make you feel better about not knowing as much yourself. (And you get to see what happens in a worst-case scenario...but you’ll have to listen to figure out what I mean!).

Asterisk * time! If you’re ready to commit to a few more episodes than just one, but aren’t ready to jump into the beginning of their first long campaign, you can also try “The Mavrus Chronicles- Ep.1: Hot Boy Summer (w/ Zac Oyama),” the first in a 7-episode mini arc. It’s straight-up fun, with Emily DM’ing for Caldwell, Jake, Murph, and Zac. Ever wondered what D&D + MTV Spring Break equals? It’s The Mavrus Chronicles!

And, of course, if you want to jump into their first long campaign, I would actually suggest starting right at the first episode, “Ep. 1: Green Teens Gone (The Moonstone Saga).” They do a good job of finding their feet quickly in a way that will pull you into their show.

So, my recommendations are: “Frostwind’s Mandatory Celebration of Maximum Luminosity: A Somber Festival (Holiday Special w/ Amir Blumenfeld),” “The Mavrus Chronicles- Ep.1: Hot Boy Summer (w/ Zac Oyama),” and the very first episode of their first campaign, “Ep. 1: Green Teens Gone (The Moonstone Saga).”

What Is The Podcast About?

Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDPOD) is a live-play Dungeons & Dragons podcast DM’d by Brian Murphy and consistently featuring Emily Axford, Jake Hurwitz, and Caldwell Tanner. They’ve rotated DM’ing duty and have had long-stint guests like Zac Oyama and Lou Wilson. They play campaigns of their own making, and have plenty of silly moments with some deeper, more serious moments thrown in.

Why Should I Listen To It?

They know how to have fun! This group isn’t afraid to be silly as they make up things on the fly, and they have a lot of funny one-offs/short arcs you can listen to (they have a Donkey Kong series. DONKEY. KONG.). They have a lot of quick jokes that stick with you - like the saying “I’m an agent of chaos and a manager of expectations” (from the recommended episode)!

If you listen to The Adventure Zone, you should try it because their silly-to-serious ratios are about the same (as I said in my TAZ post). If you listen to Critical Role, you should give this a try if you’re ready for a lot more silly moments!

~Happy listening!~

-Is Siobhan switching to an American accent randomly? Whenever she interacts with an NPC?

-Princess Elody??? I already love her.

-Is Murph gonna play a dipshit handsome prince who is no longer handsome?? I feel like that has slight Himbo energy, but not quite.

-Oh no... I don't like how they flip the camera on Brennan when he switches NPCs... That's BAD

-Oh yeah, Murphs for sure a dipshit. I love that for him.

- Zac said "okay, me first" and I'm ALREADY in love with this character.

-Thats a VERY big acting choice for you, Mr. Wilson. I hate it at the moment, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

-OoOoOo Lou and Zac being partners in crime. This is gonna be GOOD

-Okay it's been.... Ten minutes?? And I officially love Lou's voice.

-"I can Kind Of read now?" "What a start!"

-"You just skyrocketed from 7 to 3" 🤣

- Emily's vocal acting choice is SUPERB

- "I'm kind of a... Medieval gay prepper" YAS Beardsley!!! Your true form!!!

-Mark the time everyone! 01:08:55, Ally Beardsley's first pop culture reference. H&M.

HOT DAMN y'all that was fucking FABULOUS!!

Seriously so in love with this season already 😍

#neverafter #live blogging

[brainrockets]

So I am not trying to start discourse or anything so I'm not going to like at the person/people doing this but I have to word vomit or the logic loop is gonna just keep spinning me around.

Someone posted a screen grab of Lou Wilson looking fine as hell. There were some hornt up responses because he was again, looking hawt as hell.

Then people were like, oh no don't aim your horny beams at him something something parasocial whatever. And suggested aiming any horniness at his character "in case he finds it".

(Also, someone was like "he's not hot, he's a goofy guy" and like please FLING YOURSELF INTO THE SUN. Lou being hot is just a true fact.)

And a couple of things.

1. How is it parasocial to CORRECTLY observe that Lou Wilson is a hottie? And be horny about it. It might be weird or a lil nasty, but how is it parasocial. Pretty sure parasocial is more like "my good bud Lou" behavior?

2. Why would it be better to aim horniness for Lou at his CHARACTER who is in this instance a literal wooden puppet CHILD?! This is a wild thing to say. Absolutely WIIIIILD.

I'm not saying that everyone was acting correct even. I don't even disagree with remembering that he's a real person who has feelings and might not appreciate being idk objectified? That's a good instinct. But like you post a picture of someone being objectively attractive and then suggest that horniness is parasocial and that it'd be better to aim that at Pinnochio??? I just cannot math this in my head. What. Is. Happening.

Anyways. I think I understand the sentiment but the actual words made my brain try and ride the logic teacups at Mach 5.

(Also looking sideways at people suggesting 'lil uwu' Eursulon had those panties for innocent reasons when his father "lived well and lived deep" like no)

like what I do? buy me a coffee on ko-fi. :)

It was so warm that the heat off the pavement made the ice cream vendor on the corner of River and E 161st look like an oasis. Straight off the D train, which unloaded an ocean of white and blue pinstripes, Bucky knelt to offer you a piggyback ride–nevermind that it was too hot to tolerate someone else’s skin against his own; it was all in the name of your birthday, and that meant scoping out which intersection the sunglasses vendor had posted up at. Wherever the ice cream vendor was, Sal’s Sunglass Shack would be at the adjacent corner (Sal flirted with his wife across the street, as she scooped over-large helpings of vanilla into waffle cones before they could liquify, and pretend like they were thirty years younger).

“There!” You spotted Lara’s Ice Cream. “Think she’ll let me dunk my whole head in rocky road?”

“Doesn’t hurt to ask,” Bucky laughed. “Why’d you have to have your birthday when it was pushing a hundred?”

“I like seeing you sweat, Jamie.”

“What a pest.” He lovingly pinched your thigh, and crossed the street with the tide of sports fans when the light turned green.

It was unfairly hot, sticky even, but… Bucky didn’t mind that you were clinging to his shoulders, occasionally brushing your lips against his temple. When you had come out of your bedroom when he picked you up, holding a gift bag, he had narrowed his eyes. It was your birthday celebration, and here you were giving him gifts. So now, he was walking with the girl of his dreams in matching Lou Gehrig jerseys. They weren’t vintage–you’d said you had them made after he told you Gehrig was his favorite player as a kid, and your names were embroidered over the left breast, and it was the most thoughtful gift Bucky had ever received.

Then, you had put your cap on backwards and kissed him. Like you kissed his cheek now: sweet and lingering. “In case I forget to say it later, I had a nice time today.”

Bucky glanced up at you. “Don’t jinx it,” he chuckled.

“Doesn’t matter what happens. I might take a foul ball to the chin. Still. I’m here with you, and that’s the best thing you could do for my birthday.”

“I haven’t given you your present yet.” Bucky was so nervous about said present, he’d be sweating even if it was twenty below, but he was trying not to show it.

“What did you get me?”

“You gotta wait, doll. We have an agenda, remember? Two scoops of rocky road. Three pairs of sunglasses. It’s pretty far down the list.”

Upon arriving at Lara’s cart, Bucky allowed you to jump down. The gray-haired woman beamed; she had come to know both you and Bucky this season, and she knew before you had to ask that you both wanted “the usual.” Two scoops of rocky road ice cream, in a cup.

“It’s her birthday,” Bucky mouthed to Lara, pointing at you, and looking away innocently when you caught him. You poked him in the side.

“Honey! You came all the way here to see me on your day?” Lara said, like a history-making rivalry wasn’t being played out fifty yards from her cart.

“Technically it’s tomorrow, but yes.” You grinned. “Nowhere else I’d rather be!”

“Well your scoops are on me. Not yours, kiddo–you’re not special today.” She winked at Bucky, who couldn’t agree more.

Bucky gave her enough cash for three people’s worth of ice cream. “I gotta see a man about some sunglasses.” He signalled to Sal’s stand, where one Sam Wilson was currently perusing like he hadn’t been waiting for the two of you as planned. You gave him a thumb’s up. Bucky jogged across the street. Sam whistled as he approached.

“Look who’s in new gear! Gehrig, too? With your name–you’re kidding me.”

“That little nightmare had it made.” He nodded at you. You stuck your tongue out, and then used it on the rapidly-dripping ice cream. “I would’ve cried, except I am way too nervous.”

“I picked these out,” Sam said, temporarily ignoring Bucky’s nerves. He presented three identical pairs of sporty sunglasses, which had dark oil-slicked lenses and glinted from purple to yellow in shifting light. They were ridiculous, and perfect. “They’re not aviators, but I thought they’d make her laugh.”

“Say no more.” Bucky batted Sam’s hand away when he reached for his wallet. “Please. Hemorrhaging money helps me calm down. No offense, Sal.”

“Nobody else I’d rather gouge than you and your girl, Barnes.” The old man wore a tiny pair of circular sunglasses at the end of his nose, which served no purpose except making him look like he flew a dirigible.

Sam snorted. “Got any birthday deals in honor of the Princess?”

“Oh, I charge double for birthdays,” Sal snickered.

“How about for Cap?” Bucky suggested.

Sal shook his head. “Can’t afford the endorsement. But when I hit the big time, I’ll give you a ring.”

“You got it, Sal. Buck–Why are you freaking out?” Sam asked, when Bucky stole a glance across the street for the millionth time.

“Well…” Bucky hadn’t exactly told Sam the whole truth when he had invited him to come join the two of you for the big game. Mostly, he’d just insinuated that given how crappy your last one had been with Steve ditching, he had wanted to make it up to you. Sam readily agreed, and had even suggested going in with Bucky on season tickets as your gift, but… “I’m gonna ask her to move in with me.”

Sam blinked. He glanced between you and Bucky, and scrubbed a hand over his face. “Y’all are… don’t tease me, man. Please, for the love of god… is this a thing? You two?”

“Depends,” Bucky blushed. “Are you happy about it or not?”

“You’re joking.”

Bucky scratched his cheek. “It’s very much a thing.”

Sam’s face fell for a moment, and his head dropped forward. He let out one long breath. When he looked up again, his eyes were shining. He held out his hand, and pulled Bucky in for a firm hug. He kept shaking his head, and smiling, but he looked so sad. Bucky patted his shoulder.

“Yeah,” he breathed. “I think that’s the feeling.”

“I’m sorry. I don’t know why it’s hittin’ me like this. You two deserve it.”

“Thanks, man.”

“How long?”

“Ran into each other by chance about five months ago,” Bucky said. “And, um.” He shrugged. “It was like… we both could breathe. Dunno. Maybe it sounds stupid–”

“Man, it sounds like you both finally got some sense,” Sam chuckled. “I never understood why she stayed with him when he ditched her all the time. Not complaining–it meant I got to know her when she wasn’t doing the Cap’s Girlfriend thing where she just… you remember how she’d stand behind his elbow and smile? God. Killed me. She’s the funniest person in any room, unless Steve was there, and her entire sense of humor got siphoned away–sorry. I’m clearly still pissed at him.”

“Nah. I’m sorry it took us so long to tell you, but we’ve been dealing with Steve’s stuff and trying to sell his place–turns out it’s hard to do when the owner had no will.”

To say it had been difficult was the understatement of both centuries which Bucky had seen, but it was resolved. Steve’s things were gone–given away to museums, thrift stores, or tossed if neither places wanted them–and now you and Bucky might actually focus on moving forward like you had been prevented from doing for so long.

“Christ,” Sam sighed. “Shoulda told me. I would’ve helped.”

Bucky shook his head. “She had a hard time with it. Sometimes she couldn’t handle me being there. It was something we had to do slowly, and give her a chance to breathe into the empty spaces until it was all gone. So. That’s done.”

“And now you’re gonna ask her to live with you.”

Bucky nodded. “Yeah. I still… Sam, sometimes I wake up and worry he’ll come back.”

“Won’t happen.”

“Too many unknowns to feel secure in that. But. She knows how I feel.”

“You have been head over heels for that woman since at least her last birthday.”

“Longer. God–way longer. Years.”

“I know,” Sam said. He clasped Bucky’s shoulder. “I’ve seen you spend your whole day with her and then I’ve seen the aftermath, when you’re so sad you can’t form words, because you had to put her hand in his and walk away. Hurt me to see it. You two have always been two peas in a pod. You always fit better with her, and–”

“And now?” Bucky motioned to you. You were standing on top of the cement planter box, hands on your hips. You waved and grinned with delight.

“Come on slow pokes!” You hollered.

“She’s a live wire,” Bucky said proudly. “No making herself smaller, none of that shit anymore.”

“Thank god.” Sam pointed at you, and howled when you pointed right back.

“If you two are standin’ here all day, mind if I take a smoke break?” Sal leaned over the table covered in colorful frames, none of which likely cost him more than a dollar a piece, which didn’t account for his prices in the mid-twenties. He gestured to the sunglasses Sam had picked out. “You keeping my girl waiting?”

“Sorry, Sal.” Bucky paid Sal for the glasses, and put his on to hide the terror in his eyes. “I’m so nervous, I’m afraid I’m gonna ask her to the tune of take me out to the ballgame.”

“First of all… she would love that,” Sam laughed. “She will cry of happiness.”

Sam was right. Bucky knew that. It didn’t make him feel any better. Making you cry had about a fifty-fifty shot at making him feel terrible and lose his nerve, even if you were crying out of happiness. He couldn’t help it. He never wanted to see you weep when he was involved, but it couldn’t be helped in this case. There was no way you wouldn’t. He also was pretty certain you’d be happy. So.

When Bucky and Sam joined you across the street, you doubled over with laughter at the sight of them in their shades. You had to set their ice cream down or you would’ve let it fall to the pavement. Once you recovered, you lept at Sam for an enthusiastic hug.

“Hey, Bean!” Sam twirled you around with a laugh. “God, you are so old!”

“You’re older than me, Robin.”

“Nice of you to take two old men out for your birthday.” Sam set you on your feet again and offered you the glasses so you would be stylin’ too. “I hope these are ridiculous enough for your weird sensibilities.”

“You have such subtle taste,” you giggled. “But I gotta say–you both look very sexy in them, and if I didn’t know better, I’d say you belong in the Yankees dugout.”

“Strippers were expensive, so. Play your luck right and you might get your own personal dance from our resident hunk.” Sam shoved Bucky’s shoulder, pushing him right out of the brooding panic he was in. “Not me, though. Got bad hips.”

“See? Ancient,” you giggled. “Can we go in?” You handed them each their own ice cream soup.

Sunglasses on, ice cream finished, wet wipes used from the small cross-body bag Bucky wore, the little party entered the stadium.

The seats Sam and Bucky had gone in on together were behind the first base line, right where you’d have the vantage of players coming out of the dugout. As far as you were aware, that was the grand birthday present you were waiting for. Bucky sat with you, while Sam took off in search of several combo boxes. You wiggled in your seat in excitement, chattering away about your favorite players as their faces flashed up on the jumbotron, and how very likely it was that they would beat the Dodgers, given their stats, on and on… how cool it was to be able to see the stitching in the baseballs, how much you loved the smell of the dirt…

“Baby, this is so cool!” you finished, fingers pressed into your cheeks to try to put a bottle on the smile which was threatening to cramp your dimples.

“It is,” Bucky laughed. He put his arm behind your chair, but thought better of holding your shoulders, given how hot the metal seat back was. He had never been more thankful vibranium didn’t retain heat.

“To think–we used to have to imagine the baseball from all the way up there.” You indicated the nosebleed seats, where you and Bucky had been sitting habitually this season. You were beaming, but your glee settled into an anxious itch as the music began to play.

“It’ll be over quick,” he soothed.

“You think I’ll ever get over his stupid voice?” You peeped. You meant Steve’s voice–Cap, as he made the formal announcements. It had been several weeks since you’d been to a game, but usually, you waited in the beer line so you didn’t have to see his face up on the jumbotron, either. Bucky brushed your temple. First would come take me out to the ballgame, and his deep, resonant voice would boom, welcoming fans to Yankee Stadium.

“You’ve heard it a million times, you know it’s a three minute clip and it’s done.” Bucky was always as shaken by it as you, but he tried to look passive for your sake. Still, you sagged into his side.

“I’m so sorry,” you murmured. “It’s just–”

“Hey.” Bucky tipped your chin up. “Why you apologizing?”

“I don’t want you to think I… miss him. Or something.”

“It’s okay to miss him, doll. He’s no threat to my peace of mind,” Bucky lied, like he hadn’t admitted to Sam that very fear. Still.

“Okay,” you breathed. “But. Before I get all goofy, I… you know I love you.”

You hadn’t been saying it for long. A few weeks, at most, but. Bucky never got tired of hearing it, even though every time you said it, it hit his ear like you’d been practicing it in the mirror. You were still nervous to tell him. As if he hadn’t been in love with you since Steve introduced the two of you.

“I love you too.” He smiled gently. “Especially when you’re goofy.”

The song ended, and you laid your cheek against Bucky’s shoulder to brace for impact. But Steve Roger’s narration never came. Instead… you gasped. Captain America strode to the pitcher’s mound. Your Cap–the one who had cried at a sunglasses stall over being happy for you and Bucky. The man who kept his promises.

Sam.

The crowd roared. He was wearing a different jersey than his usual Ripken duds, which he had been wearing when he met up with you and Bucky–his own custom uniform, with Wilson on the back in bright red lettering against the navy blue, offsetting the subtle white pinstripes. Obviously outside the usual uniform standards, but exceptions were made for Cap. He was still wearing his stupid douchey sunglasses, and a hat with the Yankees logo, but with the shield behind it. It was perfect.

“They gave him a jersey with away colors?” you protested, but you were sniffling.

Sam winked at the two of you, and chuckled at your stunned faces. “Good afternoon, Yankee Stadium!” His voice bellowed. He had a little microphone pinned to his collar. The crowd was electric. “I would like to personally thank you for coming today, on this, the hottest day in the history of baseball. We are about to witness an iconic game, a rivalry between the coasts. As a Louisiana boy, I can’t pick sides… but one of these fine teams gave me a free t-shirt.” He gestured to his torso and the truly beautiful jersey he wore. “As a side-note… I want to thank you all for being here for my first game as your Captain America.”

If the crowd could’ve stormed the field to lift Sam on their shoulders, they would have. The whole stadium chanted Cap, Cap, Cap, Cap… on and on. Bucky squeezed your knee, and you shared a look of awe with him. Pride, too. That was his best friend. Sam wasn’t one to let fame go to his head, but this was different. He loved baseball more than most people like anything, and he was getting this opportunity to share his new role with a whole stadium of people who loved baseball, too. It was awesome, in every sense of the word.

When the crowd calmed enough for him to speak, Sam said, “Please join me in welcoming to the field… the Los Angeles Dodgers!” And the attention was diverted from him once more, as he liked it.

As the starting lineup for the Dodgers jogged on the field, Sam read off their names, and each man in turn raised an arm to greet the crowd. A smattering of Dodgers fans cheered. Then, the music changed. New York, New York began, and Sam grinned.

“And now… your boys… give it up for the New York Yankees!”

You and Bucky were on your feet in an instant, and you cheered so loud for your favorite players, Bucky was certain you were going to lose your voice.

Sam took a baseball and a glove from the Yankees catcher. He fit the glove, took his stance, and threw out the first pitch–a beautiful, fast throw which had the catcher wincing. This was, after all, the man who regularly threw a heavy shield. Sam shook the catcher’s hand, and pulled a marker out of his pocket. He offered it to the catcher, and had him sign the baseball. You and Sam often talked about how good number sixty-six was, how much of an asset he was to the team; it was surreal to see him speaking to the man himself. Then, Sam was crowded by guys from both teams, shaking his hand or patting his back, thrilled to meet Captain America. He passed around his baseball and glove to as many players as possible. The field was a little bit chaotic, but for Sam’s first game as Cap… it was perfect.

The regular announcer took over, but not before Sam ran over to the railing. He held out the glove and ball… to you.

“Happy birthday, Bean. From your team.” He winked. You looked up at Bucky, who was as shocked as you.

“Samuel Elizabeth, that was a dirty trick!” You crowed, clutching the ball and glove to your chest. Sam hauled himself up over the railing (which was an illegal and uncouth thing to do, but the security guard standing nearby chortled and gave him a thumbs up), and pulled you into a tight hug.

“Listen, I… I’m proud of you,” you said, making eye contact with Bucky over his shoulder. Sam squeezed you tighter. “Please tell me this is permanent.”

“Oh yeah, baby! You’ll hear my dulcet tones at the top of every inning, too.” He rubbed your back.

“You didn’t plan this specifically for my birthday, did you?” You pulled back sharply to look Sam in the eye. He shook his head.

“Happy coincidence. This guy didn’t know, either.” He patted Bucky’s shoulder. “So. Surprise! Y’all are my people, and I’m so glad we’ll be sitting in these seats together for every home game.”

“Seriously. You two are so sneaky. I cried on our tickets this morning,” you admitted. Bucky nodded when Sam looked at him for confirmation.

“You know she will sleep with that glove on,” Bucky snickered as you held the new leather to your skin. “Gonna have Gerrit Cole’s autograph printed on your forehead.”

“It would be an honor,” you said dreamily.

“I gotta go do a press thing,” Sam said, “but I’ll be back before the second inning.”

“With those sunglasses on?” you teased.

“I know you ain’t insulting Captain America’s shades.”

“I would never.” You pulled your own down the tip of your nose and winked.

Sam rolled his eyes. “Sure you wouldn’t, Princess Beanie.”

“I swear to god.” You punched his arm, and immediately winced from the impact. “Get out of here with your stupid nicknames, and bring me the shittiest beer in the place when you come back!”

Sam saluted, and disappeared again, back up the steps this time, after giving Bucky a prolonged hug. Sam received many pats on the back as he passed through the fans, and there was something really… moving, watching him walk through the crowd, instead of trying to avoid them like… well, it didn’t matter. Comparison was pointless. Sam was Captain America, baseball’s Cap, and Bucky couldn’t be prouder.

You sat beside him, and handed your new souvenirs over for Bucky to inspect. He pushed the sunglasses to the top of his head and whistled. “This is amazing. We gotta get you a real good display. Something that swivels so you can see all sides.”

“Where would I put something like that?” you giggled, as Bucky reverently ran his thumb over Cole’s autograph.

He gulped. “Well. Honey… you, um, could keep these at mine.”

“Yeah?”

“But… they would miss you, so. You’d have to visit pretty often.”

Your eyes sparkled with laughter from beneath your own sunglasses. “We haven’t spent one night apart in five months, but do go on.”

Bucky touched your chin. “Y/n… You know how I feel about you.”

“Remind me.” You leaned into his touch. Bucky narrowed his eyes. “Please?”

“You're gonna make me get sappy in front of total strangers.”

“You don’t mind, do you, sir?” The man behind you was on his third beer and couldn’t have cared less if you jumped Bucky right there. “Go on.” You took off your glasses and hooked them on the front of Bucky’s jersey, smoothing your hand over his heart to give him courage.

“You are so lucky you’re cute.” Bucky cleared his throat. “I’m in love with you, babydoll. I’ve not made any secret of that since you snotted on me on our sushi date. But. I want to share a closet with you. Well… give you my closet, you know I have one suit, I’m not a hanging clothes kinda guy. And I wanna put up all our photos on one wall, and have his and hers mugs. So. Really, what I’m trying to say is: now that we’ve sold his place, I would love it if you moved in with me. You basically already live there, but. I got you a copy of my key. Actually–I wasn’t supposed to do that, so please don’t tell the super,” he said quickly, nervously. “I should’a asked you a while back, but I think part of me was still… I dunno. Not sure. If this is what you wanted.”

“Take a breath,” you said, breathless yourself. Sure enough… your eyes were brimming with unspent tears. You held onto his wrist as his thumb made circles over your jaw. “You still worried that if he was standing right here, I’d pick him?”

Bucky’s heart was in his throat. He didn’t want to nod, so he kissed you. Softly, to ask for forgiveness for being weak. But you hummed.

“Let me put you out of your misery, handsome. I’ll move in with you. I would love to.” You kissed the corners of his mouth, and his forehead. “I should’ve known from the minute I met you that you were it, Jamie. It was you who made my skin all tingly, not him. I wasted a lot of time because I thought I was lucky Steve chose me, but… you made me believe I deserve to be chosen. If he was here right now, I’d probably… well, I’d throw up on him out of shock, most likely. That would say everything. Just, all over his stupid Keds.”

“Gross,” he laughed. “But effective.”

“Yep. And I’d look him straight in the eye, and say, ‘the love of my life is James Barnes, so skedaddle!’ Something old-timey to twist the knife.” A tear streaked down your cheek to punctuate the feeling.

“So evil, so cute.” He wrinkled his nose. “Well. Okay, then. You’re gonna be my live-in lover.”

“‘Live-in lover,’ Jesus Christ. Am I your dame, old man?”

“I’m sorry, woman!”

“Oh boy. You hate the word ‘girlfriend,’” you giggled.

“I’m going to tickle you to death.”

***

The Yankees beat the Dodgers just for you, and Captain America provided a full flight of New York’s shittiest beer on tap to celebrate. You had a better birthday than you ever remembered having, and it was capped by Bucky and Sam helping you move what little belongings you had left into Bucky’s place the next day… your actual birthday.

Sam filled the long wall down the hallway with framed photographs–of the three of you, several of only you and Bucky on the various excursions and dates you had gone on since reconnecting, baby pictures of you, Bucky’s enlistment headshot, family photos of the Barneses… filled. Bucky built a bookshelf for your tiny collection of books, which barely filled one box. It was aspirational, he told you. You tossed your underwear into the drawer with his, and hung all your clothes in the closet, just like he hoped.

Seeing your belongings next to Bucky’s–sometimes indistinguishable from them–filled you with such a sense of peace that you wanted to stay awake as long as possible to enjoy your new reality. Sam left shortly after midnight, after treating you all to the best pizza in New York. Bucky fell asleep hard, soon after. But you stayed up, snuggled against him in the bed you’d slept in as long as you’d been together, but now was yours permanently. Bucky’s resistance to the word ‘girlfriend’ wasn’t discouraging, as far as forever was concerned. In fact…

At three fifteen in the morning, Bucky was awoken by soft fingers smoothing hair from his forehead. He opened one eye. Yours were glassy in the moonlight, and you smiled.

“Hey,” he whispered sleepily, catching your fingers and pressing them to his lips. You smiled, but… “what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” you said, but your voice caught on thick emotion. “Everything is so perfect that I found myself laying here, crying.”

“Why, darlin’?”

“‘Cuz you’re good to me.”

“You deserve that,” he said. Bucky kissed your brow. “You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

“Yeah?”

“Oh, no contest.” He laced your fingers together. “That’s been true since the day I first laid eyes on you. It’s only gotten more obvious with time. And now you sleep in my bed! How’d I get so lucky?”

“Because every morning,” you began, pressing your hand to his bare chest, over his heart, “you wake up and choose me.”

Bucky yawned. “Listen—it has never felt like a choice I have to make. That would be like ‘you, or breathing.”

“Had a nightmare the other night,” you admit, softly. “I was running to catch up with you, but you couldn’t hear me. And I was screaming, and trying to tell you how much I love you—but you turned around, finally, and realized I was there, and you vanished.”

“Shit. Been binging some Greek mythology?”

“Right? God.” You winced.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I did. Kinda. You rolled on top of me and said something I didn’t quite understand, and then started snoring.”

“I’m so charming,” Bucky snorted.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Anything.”

“Would you wanna marry me? Someday. Not… not this second.” The moment it came out, you rubbed your cheek in worry. “I’ve never been with somebody who I wanted to marry before. But it keeps popping into my head. Every time I think about it, it feels so perfect. And not because you gave me season tickets to the Yankees, even though I’m so happy about it I want to cry all over again! And not because you asked me to move in, either. It’s everything else.”

Bucky swallowed hard, and rubbed his eyes. “You didn’t want to, with Steve?”

“No.”

“You’re serious,” he murmured. “You’d wanna be with just me, forever.”

“Only you, Barnes.”

“I’m—I—how… shit, gimme a second.” Bucky pinched his nose. Your face fell. “No, don’t do that, doll—I gotta find the words. Still half asleep. My brain is outpacing my mouth, here.” He grasped your chin between his thumb and index finger. “You’re telling me… I could call you my wife?”

You nodded faintly, smiling.

He didn’t hesitate, then. “Yes.”

You blinked. “Yeah? You mean it?”

“I want to.”

“You sure?”

“Babydoll, I’m serious as a heart attack.”

“You can live with this mess for the rest of your life?”

“I insist on it.”

“Might change your mind when you’ve had me as a roommate for a while.”

“Impossible.”

“Okay. That’s all, then. Go back to sleep.” You curled into his chest and fit yourself in such a position which had him laughing because of how ridiculous it was to have you burrowing as close as possible. He rubbed your back until you fell asleep.

But then he couldn’t sleep, because… because he was right. Right to love you, and to ask you to move in, and right to let himself feel every hard thing about Steve leaving until he could pick his fear apart and let it go, because for once, he wasn’t really scared about the future. The intrusive thoughts might still trickle in now and again, but his girlfriend was you, and you wanted the same things he did. Whether it was an entire afternoon of pro-baseball, or a life together. You were in.

Internet Personalities Do The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals

The rules I am setting for myself:

No one who has already been in a musical set in the Hatchetfield universe

The actors will be portraying the same characters the actors did in the original (so the person cast as Zoey would also play Alice, etc)

This is not like "influencer" internet personalities, I'm pulling more from like, Dropout people, ex-buzzfeed, internet comedians, etc.

Also if you don't see a name of a side character, assume I just forgot their name, I'm writing this as I think of it so I don't forget my ideas.

Paul: Shane Madej

The famous skeptic, playing a man forced to believe AND think of the implications? Plus, we know he can sing, thanks to Puppet History.

Emma: Jen (from Fundie Fridays)

I love Jen, and their vibes are just absolutely perfect for Emma. They have that "I've worked customer service jobs long enough that I have lost the ability to feel anything but contempt for mankind" vibe that Emma has.

Charlotte/Nora/Deb: Aabria Iyengar

She's such a talented performer, I could see her absolutely nailing Charlotte's sweet naivete, and then fucking annihilating Join Us (And Die)

Ted Spankoffski/Homeless Man/ (he is) Dan Reynolds: Grant O'Brien

The Heel of Dropout, Grant excels at playing the asshole, so who better to fill the role of everyone's favourite douchebag?

Mr Davidson/Sam/ Man In A Hurry/Sargent MacNamara: Zac Oyama

I'm not factoring in the ability to hit Jeff Blim's ungodly high notes, but acting wise, Zac is absolutely perfect. For Sargent MacNamara, we have Zac being amazing as the Skipper in A Starstruck Odessey, and the rest of the characters are weird little guys with something in their brains so... I won't say more so as to not spoil Starstruck but, those who know, know. Basically, make Zac Oyama all the weird little guys 2026.

Professor Hidgens/Hot Chocolate Boy: Keith Habersburger

He would absolutely DEVOUR Show Stopping Number. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Alice/Zoe/ Greenpeace Girl: Emily Axford

She's incredibly charming, versatile, snarky and thanks to Dimension 20 Fantasy High, we know she's excellent at playing a rebellious teen.

Bill: Brennan Lee Mulligan

I want to see Brennan and Emily do the scene with Bill and Alice in the school. It will make me sob my eyeballs out but they would destroy it.

Backup choices/Hard cuts:

Ally Beardsley as Paul

Reason they were cut: They are too cool.

Lou Wilson as Ted:

While he would kill this part, he's too hot

I'm late but what/who is aso?

buckle up, nonnie. i'm about to be insufferable.

aso is short for a starstruck odyssey. it's an actual-play ttrpg campaign show season that's a part of a larger show, dimension 20 (d20) by dropout (formerly collegehumor).

the campaign is based on a pre-existing setting - the starstruck comic series by elaine lee & michael kaluta, and run using the sw5e system (similar to dnd). gm'ed by the one and only brennan lee mulligan (fun fact: brennan is elaine's son!!!), and with d20's main recurring players: emily axford, zac oyama, siobhan thompson, lou wilson, ally beardsley, and brian murphy.

aso is, in summary, idiots in space dnd.

it follows a spacer crew, the wurst, through a bunch of space shenanigans. we've got a sex gun robot discovering identity, a supersoldier clone, water alien in a mlm, cyborg engineer in medical debt, girlboss extraordinaire who started a rebellion, and norman "skip" takamori. they're all dumb and hot.

like a lot of dnd shows (as is the nature of the game) it's hard to explain a main 'premise' because there's a lot going on and it's improv. but some of the major plot patterns are beginning to appear - mostly the aforementioned rebellion of a moon owned by a corporation, being wanted by a few different factions, and the wurst crew doing jobs for money. but there's a lot, a lot, that's also going on. this show is buckwild, completely insane, and that's exactly what's so good about it. there's a billion moving parts - sid being a prototype android replaced by a new line, barry syx and barry nine who killed the other barry clones, the whole pleasure putty mlm schtick, gunnie's paying to be alive, marge's mixed up love life and reddit, and uh. norman. continually no spoilers on that one.

a lot of messy issues being grappled and explored in a lawless, chaotic galaxy... and it's just pure fun. i always love the different dynamics that come out of d20, and honestly aso might be my favorite campaign that i've seen so far. and aso is fucking hilarious. period

it's just a show that i've been enjoying very much and like a normal amount. there's 18 episodes (at the time of this post, we're at 5) that release every wednesday, so it's just been something that keeps me going and gives me something to look forward to every week!

you can watch the first episode here on d20's youtube! unfortunately, they're not planning on uploading the full season there (it's on dropout or paid on youtube only), but if you are interested in d20 as a whole fantasy high freshman year, unsleeping city, and escape from bloodkeep are up on yt, and a lot of the premier episodes of the other campaigns are as well. but honestly, i pay about $5 a month for dropout, on which aso is only 1 of several of my favorite ongoing shows now, and it makes me really happy to be supporting them.

but yeah! that's my little aso primer. now you know what i'm screaming about all the time
