I wrote this in my discord server and then posted on twitter. Time to annoy here as well, HEEHOO!

Jax's Personality Swap AU!

DAMN PIPELINE: Kody > Huxley > Gavin > Damien > Lasko > Kody

NOTE: Since this is a personality swap, these characters are gonna be out of character, but Huxley will still remained as a supporting character, while Kody is still not (only personality change, not roles)! Typing this just to avoid confusion!

Damien > Lasko:

Tired Air Elemental:

- he is tired

- looks older than he actually is, its the wrinkles and white hair

- bro doesnt sleep

- "you all are idiots, why do i hang out with you"

- "you have 99/100. you can do it next time"

- he has trust issues and has hard time opening up

- he means well when you get to know him

- "i try to push you to your limits, because i believe you can surpass them... i'm sorry, i didnt mean to break your boundaries"

- still a dnd nerd but more of a dungeon master with ton of research for his homebrew campaign

——————

Gavin > Damien:

Daring Fire Elemental:

- "are you lost, precious?"

- smiles all the time in a warm way

- "well, look at you, what a snack. are you cold? i can warm you up."

- very smart but doubts himself

- awkward with physical contact

- tries to be seen as overly attractive and an attention seeker to hide his emotional vulnerability

——————

Kody > Huxley:

Distant Earth Elemental:

- is not very friendly in the beginning

- trust issues! My favorite /j

- he can be a meanie :(

- "why do we keep bumping into each other?"

- freelancer does not give up

- "i can take care of myself, i am not that stupid" he sounded hurt...

- he misses his moms,,,

- he wants to fit in, but since people think he is stupid because he is an earth elemental, he decided to do the opposite and be alone by himself

- the only friend he had was Lasko but they fought they last time they saw each other

- "you actually like me, didnt you? what am i doing, why do i wanna hurt you so bad? im supposed to be your friend" - spinel from steven universe the movie

——————

Huxley > Gavin:

Oblivious Incubus:

Lasko > Kody

Bashful Water Elemental:

- he is so innocent!

- he is trying to be helpful

- "a-are you okay?"

- freelancer says its okay

- "i struggle with my powers, i-im so sorry"

- kody is following them.... ok?

features I'd like for future bg3 patches:

- manual grouping: [exists!]

sometimes I dont want to move the whole party at once, or split everyone. I would like to have the option to group party members to each other. Like grouping my 2 rogues together because they give each other proximity advantage for sneak attacks, or grouping the melee fighters together, while leading the casters to a save spot where they can attack from above and be save. Something similar is already happening in multiplayer but I would like it for single player aswell (I have been informed this feature already exists and I just didnt know. Very cool)

- scenic spots:

Exactly what it says. I just want spots where I can move the camera more freely and have a good view of something cool or beautiful. It does sound pretty hard to implement though.

- more enemy last words:

I would really like the option to get an additional cutscene or something if I don't kill boss enemies or important npcs in a fight, but instead knock them out in the fight. I was honestly expecting a cutscene after knocking out Gortash or Raphael. Even if it's just them begging for mercy and we have the chance to kill them or to spare them. Banning Raphael from the house of hope and making him aware that you could easily kill him seems more satisfying than just plain killing him and then its over. (Especially because the fight was a bit too easy.) I know this is a lot of effort and the voice actors would have to be up for it aswell so I dont expect much but it would be really cool!

- Zevlor romance.

You heard me.

- illithid memory sharing cutscenes

I'm all for more story cutscenes. We got one for shadowheart and I would absolutely adore seeing other characters backgrounds in visual form. As much as I love the narrators voice I just want to see baby Lae'zel and tiny Wyll. OH young Gale in his mothers kitchen with the bunnies! I have a lot of imagination and visualisation skills, but other people don't and I want them to experience those scenes aswell!

- consequences for using the tadpoles and mindflayer powers

I used the mindflayer tadpole powers ONCE in my entire playthrough. Didn't put any more tadpoles into my head. I was a bit bummed out when I found out there were no consequences for using/not using them. Seems like the final fight should be harder the more tadpoles have made Tav's little pond of a brain their home.

- manual insight and perception checks

This one is not going to happen but I would like to have it anyway. In DnD I'd sometimes ask/get asked "what do I see?/Do I believe them?/Can I use an action to check the room for anything like traps etc before entering?" Some of that is already happening automatically but I would like to have the option to manually trigger it ONCE every scene/location. Not once per character. Just one check, no reroll.

- access companion inventory

this might already be possible but I'd like the option to access the inventory of companions who aren't on my team currently. It would be incredibly helpful for un-/equipping items when a character isnt on your team currently. maybe the solution to this would be items being stored in a chest when the companion isn't in your team. a chest that is bound to their camp, cant be destroyed or moved etc. and once they join your team youll have to reequip them BUT they'll already have all their stuff right there? idk how hard it would be to implement the auto reequip option when you have the companion join your team

- give Karlach a good ending dammit

She deserves to be happy and I know you can go to Avernus with her but you have to leave your love interest behind unless you romances Wyll and that sucks so much ass.

What would you like to see in future patches? What do you think won't ever happen but you'd wish to see anyway?

Another Steddie idea brought to you by my 2 am goblin brain because it won't let me sleep.

Basically Eddie and Steve make a stupid bet, I imagine it's something dumb like who knows Dustin better and Steve gets all huffy because obviously he knows his kid better and he makes the mistake of saying "Wanna bet?"

Eddie is all for it. He is ecstatic in fact. They legit bet over what the first thing Dustin will say when he walks through the door of Steve's house since the Party is all meeting up there for a party. Steve thinks he has it in the bag. So he tells Eddie that if he loses he'll do whatever Eddie wants.

And OH.

Eddie is all for it. Eddie will fight dirty if he has to and will bribe whoever he has to to win this bet. Because what Eddie wants is for Steve to sit in for a one-shot DnD campaign. At first Steve is confused but agrees but Eddie is smirking and is just like, "Oh not just sit in Sweetheart~, You will play the roll of an NPC for me. I will have lines for you to read when I say - BUT - you don't know the character until you get there Big Boy."

And look. Steve is confident. Steve also doesn't really see how that could be THAT bad, at least he's not being made to actually play. Steve agrees on the condition that if he wins Eddie has to be the little nuggets chauffeur for a month no arguments, no haggling, no bribing them away or trying to make them ask Steve.

Steve loses.

The campaign is written and finally going to start and Steve is hosting it at his house and Eddie arrives early to set up and get Steve ready and Steve is a confusion because, "Get ready? I thought I just had to read."

"Oh no Pretty Boy~! You said whatever I want, so we're going all out. You get to play dress-up Princess."

And dammit that last pet name was not just a pet name. Eddie wrote Steve to be an NPC Princess character that the Players have to save in the one-shot. Eddie also brought Steve a freaking dress and crown to wear for the part.

It's with much bickering and pleading that Steve just accepts his fate and well, he's a man of his word and fuck this he can rock a dress fuck you Eddie.

Eddie thought it would be funny but he's screwed because Steve really can rock the dress and he looks fucking attractive and it's not fair but he can focus on that later. The players are arriving and Steve still has to find his seat.

Eddie makes him sit on his lap for the whole campaign. The players laugh at Steve's predicament and he acts all huffy but inside he is dying because he did not expect to enjoy sitting on Eddie's lap this much. Or the feel of Eddie's hand on the small of his back that would move to his waist and give a small squeeze when he had to read his stupid lines. Or the voice Eddie put on as Dungeon Master. And it's taking all his self control not to do something stupid.

Eddie is also having a hard time because he already had a big ass crush on Steve and apparently he likes making himself suffer because having Steve sit on his lap in that dress was doing things to him. And the way Steve would listen to him when to told him to say his line or move in a certain way when he said? KILLING HIM.

#they're idiots your honor #idiots in love #steddie #eddie munson #steve harrington #eddie took a calculated risk but man is he bad at math that is not related to DnD #steve is living his babygirl life he just doesnt know it yet

Puppet History Dnd AU

Since @slimylittlemaggot has been doing so much AMAZING art for this AU, I couldn’t resist doing a bit of a write up for what the plot might be!!! (Check out their character designs for The Professor, Ryan, and Steven!!!)

The Professor is a Chronurgy Wizard who teaches at a well renowned magic school, Ryan is his apprentice and the other special guests are students studying at the academy (explains why there are repeat guests and such)

Ryan is studying to be a wizard, but ends up becoming a warlock by making a deal with his otherworldly patron, the genie

All of the musical guest puppets don’t really have to be explained away… this is a fantasy universe. Horses can talk. Hippos can sing. Oars can fall in love.

As @slimylittlemaggot mentioned, the Professor is still a puppet. No one cares. You can kill someone by making a ‘your mom’ joke in dnd. A sentient puppet is FINE.

Essentially, the Professor takes Ryan (and another student) through time to learn different lessons about magic and history. They encounter different people / beings along the way (the puppets, god, all that jazz) who help them to learn about the different events like on the show.

The puppet characters won’t be exactly the same as in the show, since this AU takes place in a world with a completely different history than our own. However, the events the Professor teaches Ryan about are similar in spirit and nature to the world events Shane chooses to cover on PH, but are all connected to magic / the invention / discovery of important spells and artifacts that influenced its history. That being said, certain puppet characters will remain the same, others being slightly altered to better fit storytelling from a fantasy setting.

I’m unsure exactly on how the coveted cup / history master situation would work (thoughts on calling it ‘history wizard / lizard’ as a reference to the latest ep???), but the point of conflict in this AU would DEFINITELY be Ryan getting jealous about how the other students always seem to be better at history / magic than him. (Which of course leads him to making a deal with the genie in order to be better at magic and accidentally getting the Professor “killed” / sent back in time, however that would work in this AU).

I’m not EXACTLY sure about how the Substitute would work in this AU, but due to the existence of magic, he could definitely be some sort of evil clone / alternate timeline version of the Professor, or even some evil being pretending to be him!!! This and the Professor’s “death” (since death in dnd is rarely permanent, he could actually die!?!?) are two things that I don’t have concrete ideas on rn but know that there are almost LIMITLESS ways to translate them into this AU (very exciting!!! If you have ideas, please do share!!!)

I think it would be very cool to incorporate the PCs from SD&DND into this AU somehow… maybe as students at the magic school and possibly guests who come along for some “episodes”??? (I just love Steve, Stephanos and Quezza so much, dammit!!!)

Getting kind of meta here, but I think it would be silly if “Estranged Producer Shane Madej” was actually the DM. Does anyone in-world know about him??? Who knows. But he IS the creative mind behind Puppet History and it only makes sense for him to be connected to this AU in some way (if anyone thinks of a different, in-universe role for him to fill PLEASE lmk!!!)

Steven is NOT an alien in this au. Why would you ever think that? He could never be an alien. No way. He’s the LEAST alien guy I’ve ever seen in my life. (lying)

If you want to add onto this post or type out some au ideas in the tags, PLEASE do!!! Brainstorming with the community is so silly and I LOVE hearing what you Watcher Weirdos have to say!!! (Also, I typed this post on my computer. That’s how seriousI got about this. The brainrot is real).

(If you want more Watcher brainrot, check out @aceforwhatevenisthis and i’s Mr Peabody and Sherman Puppet History AU. Ace wrote out a miraculous lore post here, and drew a silly little screenshot here!!!)

#puppet history dnd au #watcher #dnd #the professor #puppet history #boogs mutuals #PLEASE keep the brainrot going #all hail the watcher #watcher entertainment #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim

ok ok, BUT but BUT BUT BUT Eddie getting a lee mood as u describe ur dnd character wrecking Eddie’s npc for interrogation 😳

🫢😈 ANON I'M ON DEMON TIME NOW ISTG SGAHDHSJDJDJ- And I wanna say thank you to two tumblr moots for helping me make these hcs happen while I'm still familiarizing myself with D&D 🥹 Hcs under the cut!

Eddie's such a smug little shit at first. Big bad DM thinking he's successfully gotten under your skin with an irritating npc who's refusing to answer any of your questions. But then...

"It appears that the only living soul who carries the information you seek is not willing to reveal said information to you. (Character's name here), what would you like to do?"

"I'm going to ask him if he's ticklish."

Eddie's going to short circuit and you can see his body language grow more tense. He will try anything to keep this from happening because of all places for you to throw him into a lee mood, it's during the club meeting??? (Not that he minds though 🥴) No matter what tactics he tries to use, you've always got a tactic of your own to continue throwing him off.

Is he making the NPC lie? Insight check time. You'll see the blush creeping up on his face when you roll. Eddie has different answers depending on what the outcome of the roll was, but even then, you're just as stubborn as he is and you're gonna tickle the npc anyway even if the roll was unsuccessful. You tell him as much.

^ What he looks like when you two are in a verbal joust over this friggin interrogation tactic of yours. He's very stubborn, but so are you. You are going to roll for every advantage you possibly can and the entire time you're arguing with this friggin DM, he's growing more squirrelly and squirmy. The rest of the club is so done with both of you LMFAO 😭 /lh

You came to this meeting prepared, lemme tell you AHJSJSJRJR. Whether your character can perform and has prepared the "enhance ability spell" or if any of your fellow club members can, ohhh boi. Edward Munson isn't ready. If you use "hex," wiggle your fingers in his direction and watch him squirm 🫢

Tickle checks somehow end up becoming a thing after Eddie spends some time racking his brain over how "tickle checks" would even frickin happen. He's gonna make it difficult and will act like a smartass about what you'll need to roll for.

^ This smugness fizzles away real fast 🥴

Alas, your stubbornness wins and Eddie's efforts are futile and the npc gets tickled. He doesn't want to put actual effort into the voice acting because he's flustered to hell and he'll be damned if he lets you win. The rest of the club ain't letting that slide though.

"Eddie! You have no problem getting theatrical with the fucking voices any other time! Commit to the character, dammit!"

"Yeah, Eddie. Do I actually have to tickle you just to really sell it~?"

"N-Not one fucking step closer, you absolute fucking heathen!"

^ I am convinced Edward Munson uses words like "scoundrel" and "heathen" because he is a nerd <3

If you do end up tickling him while y'all are playing, it's likely going to be after you've rolled a crit hit, and you exclaim as much before pouncing on him and next thing you know the damn DM's on the floor flailing like a fish and screech-cackling. He knows better than to ask the other club members to save him. You think they'd skip on an opportunity to knock the DM off of his high horse? Give one of your fellow club members the "help" action and wreck this adorable little shit with tickles 👏🏾

If you don't end up tickling him and making him sink from his chair onto the floor during the actual game, he's absolutely gonna be in a lee mood still and will find a not-so-subtle way to provoke you into finally tickling him after the club's done playing for the night. Probably via telling you that your character's getting shown no mercy the next time y'all continue the campaign. Or, he's so annoyed and salty that you didn't actually tickle him so when the club meeting is done, he insists you actually do so because:

"You had the fucking nerve to say all that tickle shit in the middle of the campaign and now you're not gonna do it!?"

^ Bby just wants tickles now 🥺 👉🏾👈🏾 Indulge the poor lad LMFAOOO /lh

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anon, this concept is ✨IMMACULATE✨ Thank you so so much for sending this in 🥹💖 /gen /pos /pla

I hope you enjoyed reading!

~ Ushu 🤍 (/p)

Balder’s Gate/ Dnd 5e

Pack Mates don’t leave Another Behind.

Writers note: Please forgive if any of this is off character. Writing Astarion is tough either way the early game/before the romance option.

Trigger Warnings: Cursing

Astarion was stunned as he witnessed the crazy ranger woman, Tasara who he thought would be all protective and on board with the Druid’s Grove. That was until they met Kagha when the shifter puffed up her chest and screamed in elven, cussing her out and calling the elven woman a dumbass, stone cold bitch. Spooking the tiefling child Kagha had captured for ‘stealing the idol’ to which Tasara chewed her out.

“And yet you fucking decide you’re hot shit when this Halsin guy goes missing and try to run this pack like it’s yours!? Get over yourself! You clearly didn’t bother to go searching for him to decide you’re going to run things your way!” The shifter growled with her emerald eyes growing sharp. “I don’t give a shit if you think you’re trying to protect this grove if that means threatening a pup’s life.”

Kagha was in shock by this crazy half blooded woman coming in and challenging her decisions before snapping back into reality with a venomous look in her eyes. Telling the party to leave or else she will have to force them to.

Tasara growled once more before turning to look over her shoulders at her worried party members before huffing. “Gladly.” Her words oozing with venom as well before quickly turning to leave. They got their answers from Nettie as well as the toxin much to both Tasara and Astarion’s disagreement on taking it.

As the party begins to leave the gates, the young tiefling girl rushes over along with her parents with a big smile on her face. Showing their gratitude for standing up against the druids. Tasara, not used to compliments let alone thank you awkwardly just shrugs and mumbles a ‘Sure, whatever.’

Later at Camp.

The shifter grumbles and curses as she struggles to sleep even with her honey badger companion resting next to her. Her twin brother still on her mind as she lies on her back wondering about his whereabouts and safety. That soon ended as she hears some movement outside her tent as she swiftly jumps out to see.

A loud yelp of pain would be heard as the shifter woman falls back and holds her head in pain. “Bloody hells!” A familiar voice calls out from outside the tent. Astarion rubbing his forehead from the accidental headbutt.

“Fucking dammit. What do you want?” Tasara growled as her walls automatically rose back up. “If you’re hungry or something go drain a squirrel or that bitch Druid lady.”

A warm chuckle left the spawn’s lips as he shakes his head. “Oh please, a squirrel isn’t a filling and I think that woman has venom for blood. No, I was coming by to…applaud you for your foolish bravery today. Shrieking at that devil woman like a harpy.” He muses with another chuckle. “I was beginning to worry that you would agree with those fools when we were searching for a cure.”

Tasara rolls her eyes with another huff as she shifts her sitting position to get comfortable. “Well the kid only did a petty theft and that shouldn’t be a death sentence. Kids do stupid shit a lot for desperate reasons.” Her voice murmurs in a hushed tone. “Even making a fucking deal with a hag..”

“I mean… I suppose if the hag had a good bargain, I don’t see what the problem is.” Astarion scoffs while waving a dismissive hand. Rewarding him with a scowl from the shifter. “Even trading your own eye to protect your family?”

“Oh dear, did I hit a nerve there?” The spawn teases with a smug grin before getting shoved back. “Fuck you. You’d act differently if you had people care about you.”

Those words pierced through like a hornet’s stinger as Astarion stumbled back. Returning the scowl to Tasara. “Your loss.” He hisses the words between his teeth before walking away. Leaving the shifter alone with her thoughts and protective pet by her side.

Twisted Wonderland and DnD Ideas

Okay, so I know that this sort of thing isn't technically in my ballpark, but dammit, it's been bothering me for a few days and I need to just get my brain going because I'm distracted with this idea and I'm tempted to make a funny side-series on it alksdfjlkajl

As you can tell by the title, it's TWST with DnD because of the shiny math rocks and all that fun stuff are there and chaotic adventures.

How the NRC boys learn about DnD is from Yuu/Yuusona. They get invested in the crazy world that Yuu has played in. They think DnD is a video game or something, but no, it's a TTRPG and it's all based on dice and decisions.

Some of them like Ace and Epel initially think that it's a little nerdy and weird, but in actuality, they learn about the freedom that DnD provides due to the whole dice mechanic.

Deuce would be into it as well, but the mention of math would make him hesitant until Yuu mentions that it was simple math and using calculators was okay, so that's fine!

As a part of the board game club, Idia and Azul think that it's an interesting game, the former being so excited about it that he basically makes Yuu/Yuusona describe it all in detail as much as possible.

Idia would definitely want to play the game, although the social aspect of it would make him want to strictly play online than in person. Idia would make a bot to play on TWST's version of Discord and implement everything that's needed to make it run.

Azul would wonder about marketing strategies based on the concept and Yuu would off-handedly mention how there were places that did just that in their world, so if Azul wanted to, he could do it.

I imagine Yuu being a Dungeon Master/Game Master and that's why they know a lot of the game mechanics off the top of their head. Forever DM and all that rip.

Either that or Yuu was going back home after a long session of DMing for their group and brought all their DnD stuff with them to TWST. I can see them having a digital copy of all their books on an iPad or something because that's always good to have on hand. Or something along those lines because I've got ✨ideas✨

Anyways, Yuu would have to explain that there are ways to play DnD. If the others want to play DnD, they hold a Session Zero because you should always have a Session Zero to discuss what should go on in the campaign. Brainstorming away, they get everyone's stuff ready for the most part, and yeah, that's how things begin.

As for classes... I've got some in mind for the others :D

Deuce would want to play as a Paladin, mostly because the idea of a knight character with an Oath sounds a lot like himself. Either that or a Fighter because it's pretty simple and straightforward without being too confusing.

Ace would lean somewhere between a Bard, Rogue, or a Warlock, mostly because he's smart enough to use Charisma to his advantage in real life. Rogue because it suits him and his sneaky nature, plus sleight-of-hand tricks are an essential part of being a Rogue.

Epel would be a Barbarian. Rage, full-out attack, and just being the strongest person on the team- that's a dream for him. It's either that or one of the melee classes. An interesting pick would be a Cleric, although he'd go for a War Cleric.

Jack is a tricky one because he can fit into a number of roles. An interesting one would be Monk, mostly because the idea of Jack playing a Monk makes sense to me. He's another person who can be a Fighter, but Druid could also be interesting for him, depending on the context of his character. Also, Unleash the Beast is basically Wild Shape if only limited to him turning into a wolf.

Sebek would want to be a Magic Caster and is warned about the Spellcasting mechanics of the game beforehand. He's a diligent guy, so he listens carefully to the rules and remembers them. That being said, Sebek would definitely want to play something like a Sorcerer (Dragon lineage) or possibly a Warlock with a Pact with the Fae. He'd definitely be choosing a Half-Elf as his first character though.

Ortho would be interested in the idea of an Artificer or a Wizard. The reason is for their intelligence and Ortho's always excited to learn new things. Also, an interesting one to consider for Ortho is a Rogue that's diving into the Mastermind subclass. Sorcerer's Clockwork Soul is an interesting one to consider too 🤔

Your opinion on minimalism, your favourite notes in perfume, silly little walks, smudged khol eyeliner, what brand of cigarettes Soap smokes and the zombie Ghost skin and its broken jaw 💖💖

as far as interior design and western minimalism as a philosophy goes, i FUCKING HATE MINIMALISM. I HATE IT WITH ALL OF MY HEART. EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THAT FETID, FOUL FUCKING MUSCLE. oh god, and the fact that it's essentially a tool of rich white assholes who've not only thoroughly fucking warped principals of already existing philosophies--get this kez, you'll shit--including stoicism and buddhism, but has essentially come to subtle-signal wealth and elitism bc you do not need to stock pile possessions on the off chance of not being able to replace them. lose your $500 fountain pen? just go buy another one. and on that point, it feeds into useless consumerism. i hate it i hate it. other facets of minimalism i can't really comment on bc i'm not as familiar dslkjs.

my favorite notes in perfume are very silly and widespread, but they make me happy!! ((: i love rose, and cherry, and jasmine. i LOVE musk and patchouli. tobacco and leather and coffee!! my ALL TIME favorite scent i've gotten to wear is jo malone's blackberry and bay. one of my very very best friends, wards, bought it for me as a christmas present bc they read the description and it reminded them of my second dnd character, jakobi, and my heart broke in little pieces at the sweetness of it. i wore it until the bottle ran dry and i can't wait to get another one slkslk. the site description of it: "blackberry, bay leaves, cedarwood. Childhood memories of blackberry picking…A burst of deep, tart blackberry juice, blending with the freshness of just-gathered bay and brambly woods. Vibrant and verdant"

silly little walks are HEALING, DAMMIT. oh they make my heart pleased. i like just wandering, and i wish i did more of it for the sake of doing it.

SMUDGED KHOL LINER IS SEXY AND I WILL HEAR NO NAYSAYERS ON THE TOPIC. god i've wanted to get into it so bad, but i always forget until i don't have money and then i don't remember dskjsdl. but good lord, throwing some smoke around some eyes is an instant way to get some stunning brightness, my achilles heel for real!!

oh god, soap is trouble when it comes to smoking, i feel it in my fucking bones lkjsds. i see him as a social smoker, where if the situation calls for it he'll grab a pack or bum a couple if he's hanging out with some ppl, and god help his lungs if he's drunk, CONSTANT chainsmoking with this boy, always lighting another before his current is even out.

oh dear GOD i just looked up what cigarette brands are popular in scotland, ALMOST FIFTEEN POUND FOR A PACK OF MARLBORO REDS?? MY CIGARETTES ARE 6.24 POUND CONVERTED. jesus christ. yeah, so that leans into my hc. he is going to always go for the cheapo lung shredders, and i'm thinking chesterfield menthol lights! i feel like maybe he picked it up from his granddad or some gaffer he got tossed at as a kid to work off extra energy helping him out. they're familiar and make him feel nostalgic, but he realizes that the memories he's missing aren't what he remembers.

i want to kiss and marry and love and take care of and wipe the face of broken jaw zombie ghost skin and i am in fact writing something about this or at the very least cooking ideas slkjla. i saw a theory that he broke his own jaw to keep himself from biting people and good god the idea of that level of brutal pragmatism taking him over with maybe his last moments of consciousness EATS ME ALIVE. AND HE'S DEAD. IT WILL NEVER HEAL. IT WILL NEVER BE WELL AGAIN.

#holler holler get $#THANK YOU KEZ BABE I LOVED THESE SLKJSLK

Me and my friends play DND

DM: No stop trying to use Charm, it's literally a fucking tentacle monster. ME: Getting frustrated. WHY CAN'T I USE CHARM IT SAYS I CAN SEDUCE ANYTHING! DM: Because you can't seduce a goddamn tentacle monster! A monster made entirely out of tentacles! Think about it! ME: LET IT FUCK ME GOD DAMMIT DM: No! Absolutely not! ME: IF I WIN I CAN DISTRACT IT WHILE YOU GUYS GET AWAY AND IF I LOSE THE NECROMANCER CAN JUST REVIVE ME AND I CAN TRY AGAIN DAMMIT DM: No, absolutely not! It's just a tentacle monster! What are you gonna do, seduce it with a mating dance? ME: I VERY WELL COULD IF I WANTED TO! DM: I absolutely do not believe you. MY FRIENDS: *Trying to to laugh.* FRIEND 1: Don't encourage them. FRIEND 2: The best part is even if she did have a chance, it definitely wouldn't be a good thing if it worked. DM: Exactly! Do you honestly want to be in the situation where you're having to explain to the rest of the party why you're pregnant with a tentacle monster's baby? ME: Oh shit. ... I'll just get an abortion. DM: …Wow, you're even more irresponsible than I thought. FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 3 burst out laughing at that one, FRIEND 2 is giggling. The DM groans and rubs his temple. DM: I guess this is the level of responsibility expected of someone who thinks you can seduce tentacles. FRIEND 2: You should let them roll for it out of sheer curiosity. FRIEND 1: Agreed, I wanna see if she actually has a chance. DM: Oh god, fine. Go ahead and roll a [Charisma] check. ME: Angel: Great. Rolls a dice and gets a good number. Okay now what? DM: …You rolled an 18. You somehow managed to seduce the tentacle monster with your mating dance. Congratulations. ME: Pumps my fist in the air. Sweet! DM: It's not sweet! Now you have to explain to the rest of the party how you got yourself impregnated by a tentacle monster. ME: Jokes on you my character can't get pregnant so suck on that. DM: You're going to be the reason the DM has to add "tentacle impregnation immunity" to the racial traits of goblins now. ME: Grins. I'm glad I can affect an entire species just by being a whore. FRIEND 3: Still giggling a bit. You know I kinda admire their courage now. Not many people would have the guts to roll for something like that and then stand by their word. FRIEND 2: Bursting out laughing. FRIEND 1: She really does have a talent for making me question my own sanity.

I was planning on doing this on this coming Saturday, but then I realized that there’s a non-zero chance of getting at least one of these this week, so I figured I’d better do it sooner rather than later.

Also, in case it isn’t clear by now, I’m doing these 30% because it’s fun and I want to, and 70% because if/when they do happen, I can have this in writing and therefore have bragging rights.

KC’s Top 5 CR Player Character Classes Wishlist

(Note that this says “classes” and not “subclasses”. The options on the list should make it clear why, but also I Don’t Actually Know DnD That Well, and don’t have particularly strong opinions re: subclasses.)

Number 1. Literally Any Artificer. There’s been exactly 1 player character artificer in all of Critical Role, and that was Taryon way back in campaign 1. We only got him for 15 episodes, he rarely actually gets included as a member of Vox Machina (even though he absolutely is, dammit), and back then artificers were still Unearthed Arcana. I was SO sure that we’d be getting one in EXU: Calamity, but things didn’t work out that way. Also I just think they’re cool.

Number 2. Literally Any Ranger. Fun Fact: There have only been two player character rangers in all of Critical Role. Vex’ahlia in campaign 1, and Sam Riegel in Liam’s Quest parts 1 & 2. I know Rangers in 5e are Not Great, but there’s some really cool stuff depending on subclass choice. Swarmkeeper, Horizon Walker, Fey Wanderer – there’s so many really cool & creative options. It mostly just boggles my mind that there have been so few of them, across main campaigns and mini-series and one-shots, despite being a core 5e class.

Number 3. Monk (but not Way of the Four Elements). In a very similar vein, there have only been a handful of player character monks. Beau, Farriwen, and Fy’ra Rai are the only monk PCs in Exandria canon, two of which are genasi Way of the Four Elements monks and the other of whom is a homebrew subclass. The only others are Marisha in Liam’s Quest (no subclass given), The Headmistress in CelebriD&D and D&Deisel (no subclass given), and Mezzek in the goblins Pathfinder one-shot from way back when.

There are so many other cool monk subclasses to explore, and while I know that we just had a monk as a main campaign character, that hasn’t stopped them from having a barbarian and a rogue and at least one cleric in every main campaign party. Also Liam would rock Way of the Long Death or Way of Mercy, and you know it.

Number 4. Any Blood Hunter that isn’t Order of the Lycan. Have you figured out the theme of this top 5 yet? :p

But seriously. There have been six player character blood hunters so far, and five of them have been Order of the Lycan (Tova, Chetney, Portia, Benicio, Lawrence). Thank all the gods for Mollymauk Tealeaf for at least attempting to be an Order of the Ghostslayer. I certainly don’t begrudge Travis his manic pixie werewolf dreams, but some variety would be nice, y’know? I’d particularly like to see somebody play an Order of the Mutant, but I’d be fine with any of the other three subclasses.

Number 5. Lingering Soul. Very shortly after I started watching Critical Role, I found out about the plethora of homebrew stuff that Matt has up on DMs Guild. Of course, I purchased and read through all of it, and of course I immediately loved the Lingering Soul class/post-death option that he created. I know it’s a really tricky thing to try to work into a campaign, and it’s something that he’s barely talked about (pretty much everything else of his on DMG has been used by either a player character or an NPC). Right after Molly died in C2, Taliesin was asked on Talks Machina if he would bring him back as a Lingering Soul, but he chose not to. I just… really fucking wanna see someone play this it’s so fucking cool.

DIShonourable mention goes to yet another fucking fighter or rogue. Across campaigns, mini-series, and one-shots, there have been 23 rogue player characters and 19 fighters. I have no problem with either of them, but holy shit pick something else.

DND and diversity is something of a quagmire, but I enjoy thinking about it. I run two campaigns atm with some wonderful players, and they keep challenging me. I learn a lot from them and their characters.

Also, dammit it's difficult to find good, not fetish-y fantasy art of fat people. I put effort into having diverse npc's in terms of skin color, age, gender, sexuality, and body types, and finding fat character art is by far the most difficult one. I want to have fat npc's who are not portrayed as jokes, so having to dig through piles of "ha ha fat character eats messily" bullshit makes me want to break something.

I hate the idea that hero/good person=skinny/"normal-bodied"/conventionally attractive, because getting used to that means you associate people who are not those things with negative traits. It's a reflex from players too to think that an ugly or "suspicious" token art means the npc is antagonistic.

As a white person I obviously have no business in trying to create POC stories per se, but I do research them, too. My DND doesn't have fantasy racism, but (at player discretion) I enjoy exploring prejudice and ostracization. My focus is usually in overcoming the past and the hate, and sometimes getting revenge or payback.

Anyway. Especially the Avernus campaign (which has been running for a full year, woo!) has made me push myself in terms of what good and evil mean. The party is in literal Hell, and that means they have cooperated and allied themselves with so many characters who in any other setting would be straight up villains. And they're still doing the Right Thing, or at least trying to.

RaR Musings #9: Defining Fun

Once upon a time, I was designing Road and Ruin v001, adding all sorts of variables and rerolls and sorting high-to-low, on the expectation that there was no reason not to rely on digital integration of tools at the table, if people were gonna be putting their character sheets and pdfs on their phone anyway, and googling their spells rather than checking the book or writing them down.

I pulled back from that for a few reasons. First, because the more variables there were, the harder it was for players to learn what they do, and where they come from, and why they matter. They didn't care if the computer handled it, they straight up didn't remember what they did. The second reason, is for the sake of elegance; it was a kind of challenge to myself, to boil multiple different variables away, until I was left with a single equation that best simulated the mechanic effectively. But the last, and probably most important reason, was that it wasn't fun.

It takes a special kind of nerd to get excited about a system that asks you to sort variables, reroll certain numbers, and multiply and divide, and while I wanted that kind of person to have fun sitting at my table, I started to care about the number of people who'd sit at that table. Not that I'm not willing to appeal to a niche audience, absolutely, but as a social game, it's important that you're able to find, and RETAIN, a certain number of players, in order to keep the game going.

Or you could do what I did and draft rules that allows players to play solo and without a dungeon master in a group BUT BESIDES THAT

I read an AngryGM article that references a paper, aiming to quantify eight different kinds of fun involved in a game: Sensation, Fantasy, Narrative, Challenge, Fellowship, Discovery, Expression, and Submission. Talking about how much people appreciate tactile feedback of dice, paper, and minis did a lot to get me to reassess why so many friends had inexplicably not warmed to the idea of playing tabletop games digitally during the pandemic, or over long distances when living too far to visit.

_____________________

Historically, ttrpgs like Dungeons and Dragons were a nerd hobby. It involved fantasy, something shunned by the socially well-to-do, and math, delighting only those who found a kind of joy in assigning values to fiction and modifying them with know-how. DND has since become mainstream, scooping up vast hordes of non-nerds who wander into just about every space, whether it's suited to them or not, and demand to be entertained. Some people stay, some people leave, but there begins dark mutterings about whether people are "playing the game right".

The common rebuttal is that there is no way to play the game right; that if you're having fun, then you're playing it as right as it can be played. Discard the rules, fudge what isn't satisfying, this is your free time and you deserve fun, dammit, and DND is fun!

But then, what is fun? Why is it some people don't have fun when playing DND? How is it that some people have fun playing DND, but only sometimes? With different hosts, different players, different rules?

No other game genre has the same expectations. Someone who enjoys a game, but then plays a session they don't enjoy, is almost exclusively the result of somebody screwing around and ruining the experience. But in ttrpgs? It's expected, nay, STATISTICALLY LIKELY that there are going to be groups you quit because of how they're playing a game that you otherwise enjoy, and that somehow you're in the wrong for it, not the group who threw the rules out the window.

Past a certain point, there's no sense trying to appeal to everyone. Making sure you entertain enough people that they can keep the game alive and going, that's definitely important, but I don't think there's anything wrong with people being told, "if you didn't have fun with this game and these rules, then this game and it's rules aren't for you. Feel free to seek a different game", rather than bending over backwards to try to fit 100% of all newcomers into the same narrow margins of modularity the game is capable of. And, there is also something to be said about community, togetherness, yadda yadda. It is important. But how big does the circle have to be? How many people does it truly have to encapsulate, before you start to undermine the enjoyment of the people who were there first? Why does there have to be a game that fits millions of people, at the cost of it's most diehard fans? Why can't there just be different games that appeal to different people?

I think a lot about this, as a fan of other, non-DND games. I'm not in circles where I get to start them up often, whereas DND players are overflowing at the brim, desperate to play, but few GMs are willing to host a game with 8+ players, and those who do, don't do it twice, and there's a non zero chance that the game your player thinks they want, and what they expect, isn't what you enjoy or are willing to provide. When the game's population has reached critical mass, but there aren't enough GMs to host, we should ask ourselves why. Clearly, the kinds of people who 'have fun' hosting are not the same breed of people who don't, and if the people who HAD fun hosting, don't anymore, then the game's most important, limited resource starts to decay, and it becomes harder and harder to find someone with the enthusiasm and the patience to host.

____________

So, as a designer, I'm at an impasse. I can design for myself, knowing that I distinctly don't represent the interests of the mass public, or I can design for a slightly larger, but still niche audience, or I can throw all my own preferences to the wind and churn out some mass-appeal game, that'll never manage to dislodge the abject obsession that people have with DND anyway.

I began by designing for myself, but over time, I realized that even I wasn't enjoying what I'd made, because I'd "forgotten to put the fun in it." Years later, I'm not sure that I fully grasp what's 'fun', but I am designing better, more game-y games.

My goals for Road and Ruin include having a split of simulation-type mechanics, to give a stable expectation of how the world works and what the average person is capable of, and input from player interpretation, to bridge the gap between players becoming game hosts, and to blur the line between what roles and responsibilities that the host is meant to have. The exact brand of fun I want to provide is one of invention and discovery; as a story is generated and twists occur, failure should be exciting, because of the opportunity to design what failure here means for a character and the narrative, rather than some kind of personal slight or punishment for something that was ultimately decided by dice in the first place.

In short, as I've been accused before, my goal is to create a game that's meant to be played by dungeon masters. But, crucially, the goal is to create a pipeline that warms 'players' to what being a game host actually means, and have them join the ranks of people who host games, using all the same skills that they would normally have developed as a player. A lot of people claim that there's no such thing as a GM and a player, that the GM is just another player at the table, but I'd say that the player is just another GM, and it's time to bring them up to speed.

The Demon Bros Play DND!

Who’s ready for some Stupid Headcanons?

So, the Satanic Panic of the 1980s claimed that the tabletop RPG known as Dungeons and Dragons had the power to turn your children into satanists and devil worshippers. So of course, the brothers have totally played DND after hearing about all the human world nonsense.

Lucifer the Back-up Back-up DM

He’s too busy to play this game dammit, stop inviting him! What do you mean both Satan and Simeon can’t DM the one-shot? Ugh... fine.

Despite all his UUUUUUUUGGGGHHH, Lucifer is a damn good storyteller, prepare to be immersed as hell.

Also, sorry guys, he’s a rule whore. If something’s against the rules, YOU AREN’T DOING IT.

He’s also a complete sadist who will randomly get everyone to roll perception checks for NO REASON.

Lucifer has definitely stood up and slammed his hands on the table while giving a description for extra effect, Mammon screamed and nearly fell out of his seat which REALLY ruined the mood.

“Everyone, we’re rescheduling, I’m too busy.”

He’s been a player a few times, and he’s NOT good at it. All his characters end up being really generic and boring. He’s better at being the world and everything in it, not the dummy wandering around it.

Human/fighter lookin’ motherfucker

In conclusion, he’s a good DM, but he’s probably too busy to play.

Over-Powered Self Insert (Mammon)

This game is for nerds! He’s not playin’, Levi!

Fine, his character is great and amazin’ and is also him. MC! What do these numbers mean-

Mammon’s the type of player to make his character a self insert and not take it too seriously, then get really REALLY attached as the campaign progresses.

He’s the type not to make a backstory for his character either, so go wild DM MCs!

He also both purposefully and accidentally metagames a whole bunch. Like dude, YOU know this, YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT.

Shit he forgot his dice, can he borrow some?

“Okay MC, that’s five points of piercing damage.” “I RUN OVER AND HEAL THEM! I’LL SAVE YA MC!”

Mammon goes out of his way to save MC’s character long before it would make sense in-character to do so.

“Well, as your first man it’s my duty to save your character! You’ll probably be a blubberin’ mess if I didn’t...”

He’s not the best role player, but he’s also not the worst at it either. He tends to break character when things get too serious and he doesn’t know what to do.

Notes who? He came in here with one sheet of printer paper and it’s for doodling only.

He and Asmodeus start the tavern brawls. No question about that.

Theft is very common, he’s stealing from everyone, including but not limited to: the party, the royal guards, the dead enemies, the giant fuck-you dragon that Satan dropped in there to deter Mammon from stealing...

“I’m gonna steal that crown from the dragon.” “Roll stealth.” “Nat 20 BITCHES.” “Fuck you.”

If his character dies, may the Demon King have mercy on his greedy little soul because he’s going to mope about it for a damn long time.

Over-Powered Self Insert Again (Leviathan)

His character totally isn’t a self insert, shut up! He just looks and acts like an idealized version of himself!

He’s the one with twenty pages of character info and backstory AND the amazing commissioned art.

Levi has about 40 sets of expensive blue dice that he claims gives him the best rolls but an average session with him usually leads to roughly 10 crit fails.

While his luck with dice isn’t that good, he’s the player who will get as much out of their turn as possible, AKA break out the calculators and notes we’re doing some math.

His turn goes on for at least ten minutes because of all the shit he’s doing. When you finally think it’s over he goes “I still have my movement!”

Takes notes like a madman, every bit of lore and character info is being written down, meaning it’s a headache for everyone involved if there’s a continuity error because Levi WILL point it out.

“So you all head to the east, the great Valley of-” “Hang on, valley? In the second session you said there was a mountainous area to the east.” “Levi, shut up.”

Levi is the self appointed “guys come on let’s get back on track!” player, and whoever’s DMing is grateful to have him.

Levi is kind of the opposite of Mammon in terms of character seriousness, at first he’s taking everything super seriously and then as the campaign goes on he slowly loosens up and has some fun.

Out of curiosity one day he searches up a magical girl DND class and he’s ALL OVER IT. PLEASE LET HIM BE A MAGICAL GIRL NEXT CAMPAIGN-

Damn good at roleplaying, he’s carrying the entire in-character discussion until everyone else gets into it.

The Done With Your Bullshit DM (Satan)

So, this is the game that’s supposedly summoning him all the time despite the fact that he hadn’t been up to the human world since the 50s... what the fuck is everyone on up there?

It was the 80s, probably a lot of drugs.

When Satan DMs, you can only break the rules if it enhances the story... or if it fucks with Lucifer’s really boring character.

He will fudge dice rolls every once and a while, he also gets very attached to the characters everyone has made so he doesn’t want to perma-kill any of them unless they roll a DND quadruple natural 1 sin or something.

As attached as he gets, he isn’t above completely raging, killing everyone’s characters, and ending the session if everyone’s being annoying.

Don’t worry, your characters will be safe and sound next session once everything calms down... just don’t mention how Satan burned your character sheet right in front of you. It’s your fault if you didn’t make a second copy of your character sheet!

He’s pretty decent when it comes to improv when a player stumbles into something he didn’t plan out, but that’s not going to stop him from getting a little annoyed.

Though, if you somehow manage to get to the big bad too soon... yeah sorry, he’s got a way more dramatic fight scene planned, your player’s getting conveniently blasted out of there.

As a player, Satan is pretty decent at the game overall, but he tends to be a little aggressive if there’s an overarching mystery to be solved.

He needs to understand what’s going on! He doesn’t care if it upends the plot or it’s too early to find out! He needs to know!

His character is actually distinct and different from himself, Satan thinks it’s more interesting that way. All the books he’s read have made him a pretty awesome role player!

Satan’s notebook both as a DM and a player is filled to the brim, no detail is too insignificant to be put on the page.

Satan doesn’t fear dungeon puzzles... dungeon puzzles fear Satan.

“Are you all stupid?! This puzzle is so easy a four year old could solve it!”

I ROLL TO SEDUCE- (Asmodeus)

At first he didn’t want to play, he doesn’t play these kinds of games, sweetie. He’s too pretty.

When he’s finally convinced he puts a decent amount of effort into his character, but leaves the backstory pretty open.

Asmo would probably be the bard... right? No. He’s the warlock with the magic sugar daddy patron, and the warlock patron is spoken to as such.

“Hey baby... how’ve you been? Have I been good~?” “...”

Huh! Who woulda thought that all the bedroom roleplaying would transfer so well to DND!

Simeon is the only DM that doesn’t immediately shut this down, so Asmo will be extra inclined to play if Mr. Nice Shoulders is DMing.

When he gets really into it he buys a bunch of sparkly and very pretty dice, they bring him good luck in every roll!

Asmo has a fictional harem, no question about it. It gets to the point where Satan, Lucifer, and Simeon stop describing NPCs as attractive.

He’s rolling to seduce either way, he’s turned many an antagonist into a lover. To be fair, Asmo’s horniness has gotten everyone out of a lot of jail cells... so they can’t complain.

His notes consist of really random comments about the plot and the other players. It’s also COATED with doodles.

‘Wow, this character is such an asshole, I hope Belphie kills them.’ ‘Shit.’ ‘MC looks so cute when they play their character!!!!!!!! :D’

Poor bab forgets the rules a lot... it’s just too much to remember, okay?! How was he supposed to know that he ran out of spell slots an hour ago?!

Please help him, MC...

*Dice Cronch* (Beel)

Homeboy has been given edible dice, no question. He has also eaten the non-edible dice...

Beel goes to Satan for help with making his character, and he ends up really loving the character! :D

Problem is, he’s not that good at roleplaying... D:

“Can my character eat that person?” “Beel, no- you know what? Let me check what you’d need to roll to do that.”

I’ll save you MC part 2 electric boogaloo, but when it comes to Beel, the entire party is getting protected, no matter how little it makes sense in-character.

While Beel does take notes, a lot of them don’t end up being very important for later events. For example, he’ll jot down stuff about the layout in one room, but it turns out he didn’t take notes for the room that was actually going to be used for a boss fight.

He’s always nice to the NPCs, shame Belphie doesn’t show them the same courtesy.

Murder Hobo (Belphie)

Chaotic evil.

“Belphie, your character’s alignment is neutral good, remember?” “Fuck that, this guy’s annoying me.”

If Belphie doesn’t like an NPC, it’s up to the rest of the party to stop him from derailing the campaign and killing them.

He has space themed dice because cow-man likes space and thought they were pretty.

Notes? NOTES? You think Belphegor, the Avatar of SLOTH, takes notes? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-

He’s drooling all over the notebook... ew. Someone wake him up and tell him it’s his turn.

He puts about 35% effort forth to make a halfway decent character, and approximately 4% effort to actually roleplay.

Belphie sleeps through important plot details so he’s almost always really confused. He’ll turn to MC and ask them to explain what he missed before not learning his lesson and going back to sleep.

Wake him up for the dungeon puzzles though, he and Satan love those.

“Okay, we can’t see what’s in the room because none of the conscious party members have dark vision?” “Nope, what do you do?” “...I shove Mammon inside and shut the door.” “WHAT?!”

Bonus! The Best DM (Simeon)

Our favourite angel has homebrewed this entire campaign and boy fricken howdy are these players going to enjoy it.

Simeon fudges the dice rolls to avoid anything too irreversibly bad happening, buuuuuuut he’s still a total asshole who does the random perception rolls to keep everyone on their toes.

Everyone gets a character arc god dammit, even if they don’t have a backstory, one will be provided!

He’s got a map, he’s got miniatures, he’s got dice and backup dice for the backup dice, he’s got DM notes for days!

Simeon could be a voice actor with the amount of character voices he can do, no one ever gets confused with who’s talking.

Did someone just uncover a massive bit of plot that was meant to be found out later? Good job! No harm done! Simeon’s DM improv is second to none, and the plot will adjust accordingly!

#Obey me #Obey me!#Obey me Headcanons #obey me! headcanons #Obey me Lucifer #Obey me Mammon #Obey me Simeon #Obey me Leviathan #obey me beelzebub #Obey me Belphegor #Obey me Satan #Obey me Asmodeus #Obey me MC #obey me shall we date #obey me! shall we date?

I've been rereading some of your fics, and with you saying prompts are open, I gotta ask, update on director sanvers v with Alex as the hinge? Absolutely no pressure, esp cause it seems you wanna branch out a bit more, but damn if I've wondered how they are doing

Hey there! Probably won't get to a whole fic about these three anytime soon, but perhaps you'd enjoy a few random headcanons about how things have been going? (also I've been feeling particularly attached to them of late after seeing TLW Gen Q really drop the ball on their attempt at poly stories :/ )

- Alex is still the hinge partner; Maggie's not seeing anyone else, but she's really enjoying having a bit more time for herself and the community garden plot she got (after 2 years on the waiting list); Lucy went back to the law after Marsdin's new legislation hit the books, and she splits the time she's not holed up in her office with Alex and Vasquez (who she's still dating and still refusing to go camping with; no matter how good at it she can be, it doesn't make it something she wants to do)

- Superfriends game nights have pretty much abandoned certain games like charades, pictionary, and taboo because even with a "no Danvers sisters on one team" rule, no one stands a chance, and it always came down to Alex and Maggie vs. Lucy and Vasquez. Winn campaigned hard for them to try DND (dammit, he's always wanted to DM a big campaign), and once he had Brainy and Nia on his side, he managed to sway the whole group. (Alex was the most resistant, but she was finally swayed with the promise that she could design her own weaponry.) Kara proposed that they play in the Sky High universe, and it was just ridiculous enough for everyone to agree. Lucy and Maggie both voluntarily chose to be classified as sidekicks, and they've bonded over pitching the most ridiculous schemes that only their random sidekick powers can facilitate, supers be damned, and Lucy's got a +7 on charisma that pretty much guarantees she always gets her way. (Their characters are now dating, and they tease Alex about how much she blushes at seeing them flirt.)

- Maggie and Vasquez joke a lot about buying a row of houses so that they don't have to build commute time into their massive shared calendar anymore. It was a running joke until they found a massive duplex on the outskirts of town with enough space for Maggie to garden up front and a big fenced-in backyard, which feels more and more important by the day as Alex keeps spamming the group chat with 90lb mutts in need of a loving home, and everyone's fairly certain that they'll be at a 1:1 human:dog ratio before long. The house needs a million and one repairs, but dammit, they've got tool belts and a bit of knowledge and an extensive history of YouTube searches about "how to x," and they're making it work. (Plus, Kara's handy in a pinch. Like when they need someone to lift the house up just enough to peek at the foundations...)

- Technically the houses are divided, but they've installed an inside door that's almost never locked. Besides, the good kitchen is on one side, and the better living room set up is on the other, so it's only fair that they keep an open passage readily available. (After Gertrude gets a brother who Alex names Harold to the surprise of no one in the house and the confusion of everyone in the neighborhood, they take down the door entirely. Apparently doggy doors don't work too well for 110 lb great pyrenees mixes barreling through them at 25mph.) On Saturdays, Vasquez, Lucy, and Maggie pile into the good living room and watch college football, while Alex and Kara head out to brunch for some well-deserved sister time, though once basketball season starts Alex is the first one in front of that TV. The neighbors aren't really up to speed with what's going on with the house and its residents (Maggie's overheard multiple people swearing that only 3 women live there, plus one neighbor who's convinced that every last one of the superfriends has a bedroom in the house), but they're welcoming enough regardless. (Except Terry, but Joan, the elderly woman next door, assures them that Terry "doesn't have much going on up there, if you know what I mean.") Besides, what really matters is that they win the neighborhood Halloween decorating contest. Every. Single. Year.
