I love the batshit storytelling power of tabletop games.
Things my players have done in our campaign so far:
- Left Glaedr's eldunarí to freeze outside because they used him as an eye for their snowman and then forgot about him while they ran off to do their mission
- My werecat player traumatized the thirteen year old dragon rider student by giving him a "prophecy" about how he is destined for great things, but he was going to be betrayed by the person he trusts the most (he pulled that completely out of his ass).
- My dragon player has made a pact with the weird groundskeeper/janitor around campus to fuel her kleptomaniac tendency, and steal a gem from my blacksmith player. More on that to come.
- They did some absolutely heinous things to a pack of Shrrg in their first combat encounter. RIP.
- They adopted one of the Shrrg after they doomed him to a slow death of starvation by shattering his teeth (horrible). They healed him, and charmed him into being a friend, and then forged him a new set of magically enchanted steel dentures, so now he is going to be a permanent party member!
- They essentially ignored the main quest (a mysterious circle of destruction and mutated Shrrg that suggest a magical detonation in the same vein of the Vroengard explosion/the Galbatorix explosion only a few miles from the school) in order to go on a new self imposed sidequest of... Well.
- First the party cajoled Saphira into dragging back a Christmas tree.
- The bard (my boyfriend irl) has an antagonistic love-hate relationship with Glaedr (somehow) and spontaneously invented the holiday Christmas in universe while trying to convince Glaedr to sub in as a Christmas ornament. Glaedr refused.
- The whole party, now on board, convinced all the other eldunarí to be Christmas tree ornaments. Glaedr eventually caved and agreed to be the tree topper (the most prestigious position for the most important eldunarí, of course, they told him).
- They decided to name the holiday Gladmas in his honor.
- They came up with the (completely original) idea of a Gladmas icon- a man on the back of a beautiful glittering red dragon, who visits all the little children and leaves them presents. They came up with a plan to use all the eldunarí to power a hasten spell to get them around the world in one night. And they know just the perfect duo to pull this off! The only rider around with a red dragon who would fit the bill!
- So next session is going to be a side quest to convince Murtagh to become Santa Claus.

I am OBSESSED with the fact that Timothy Jackson Drake does not, in fact, have a spleen. It's a fact I find ridiculously hilarious and will forever be hilarious.

There is something so uniquely beautiful about the cinematography, production design and setting of I Will Knock You. It's beauty lies in it's simplicity, realism, and the way it captures the essence of middle class Thai (and most South and South East Asian) environment.
There's nothing luxurious, high end in it, unlike in many of the recent bls featuring houses with massive rooms and perfectly-synchronized-by an-interior-designer furniture. Nothing's wrong with luxurious houses in bls, it's just that I've seen way too many of it recently .
I Will Knock You, with its walls peeling paint, tin shades, mismatched furniture, a ragtag bunch of teenage boys in way-too-big suits, a college student tutoring high schoolers for a lil extra money on the side (ahaha Thi is me, only I don't have a hs gang threatening me every day XD) hits so, so close to home.
Like, one of my neighbourhood could be Noey (I'm not even kidding, some of them are real troublemakers) and another could be Noey and I won't be surprised (not too much anyway). Like, Noey and Thi situation is so possible! Literally, so many of ppl I know get in relationships with their tutors! Some even get married lmao (tho none of them are lgbtq+ sadly, thanks to the homophobia still in work here). IWKY captures the social (and architectural!) atmosphere of a South East Asian or South Asian that well!
I had no plans of watching it, but now that I've seen the first ep, I'm so hooked! My only hope is that the rest of the eps are just as good. I don't ask for much, just being as fuuny as the first ep will do.

My favorite thing about pukicho is how ppl will go into the notes on his posts and desperately try to be funny in order to get an interaction, but no, puki picks the most ordinary person to respond to

How many successful people, successful billionaires, do you know who are actually good? None. It’s nearly impossible to ethically obtain a billion dollars.
