i have a cyberwoman (s1e4) question. can anyone tell me why jack snogged ianto when he was out cold on the floor?

#i’ve heard a few ideas but none of them make sense to me #was jack pulling an owen/gwen and acting on the premise that they were about to die and “might as well? #or was he giving ianto rescue breaths that turned into an unconscious makeout session? #and if so #unconscious people don’t want tea jack #torchwood #captain jack harkness #ianto jones #janto #cyberwoman

Headcanon that Mikoto & Fuuta avoid wearing eyeglasses in public

(Mikoto uses contact lenses as an alternative and Fuuta glares 24/7 because he can't see shit + too much of a coward to use contact lenses but would never admit it)

Also for this AU, I imagine they see each other in passing at college & think neither are the type to wear glasses because they have biased images of each other in their minds lmao

But then Mikoto visits Fuuta's place after being recommended to be a tutor for him and that happens

#milgram #kayano mikoto #mikoto kayano #fuuta kajiyama #kajiyama fuuta #mikofuu #au where fuuta's still a college student and mikoto does tutoring sessions as a sideline job #uhhhh yes based on a few fanfics I read with a similar premise #just that I wanted to add eyeglasses into the mix lmao #miruru-art

Content warning is a lot like lethal company but instead of grinding for the company ur making videos for spooktube

damn so instead of being a direct corporate slave ur a content creating machine 😔

#omg a convo !? #mutuals !! #cant catch a break in this world smh #but also??? i might???? check it out??? bc if it has the same premise as lethal company then it seems fun (in a horror/scary way) #but later or tmrw when i finish my tennis session ;w;;

Have you seen the new nasa ttrpg?

forgot to reply to this earlier but yes, i have! i haven't gotten the chance to play it yet but it seems fun! :D

#the premise seems really ripe with whatever you wanna go for #seems like a lite kind of game so if thats anybody's jam w sci-fi i'd say go for it! #it really impresses upon me the urgency pf how i really need to get the second session of the space heist game i was running. #its been so long....

yesterday at our Exalted table where we play young Dragon-Blooded we rescued the NPC inspired by FE3H Flayn who had been kidnapped(!!!!) and I kept staring in the face that my WWX-inspired character has a quasi crush on the based-on-FE3H-Seteth NPC, or at least, y'know, a lot of admiration and trust, because the NPC is

- principled and upright

- intelligent

- hard-working

- reliable

- grumpy in a way that's funny

big "I don't like him and he's no fun whatsoever, but I respect him. he's a good teacher." stance

and he kind of mentally files that NPC and his JC in the same category

like, subconsciously he kind of imagines his JC will be like that as an adult (we all know JC has very little principles, but apparently my character thinks his JC's boringness implies these principles. "principled and upright" 😬)

which in this case translates to nothing aside from the fact that my character is super trusting when said NPC says things. (the biggest divergent point from WWX is that my character is very ambitious and willing to be politically-minded, so I'm always checking for hidden meanings and stuff. But not with JC-inspired-NPC. And very little with Seteth-inspired-NPC.)

#ragara arkis #teen wwx having a crush on lqr would have been so funny 😔 #I didn't mindwipe anyone this session but i DID manage to steal a personal item from the headmistress in order to modify her dreams #bc my character is Very Unhappy with the way she deals with student death on the premises :)

[famewolf]

if im being honest and allowing myself to vent a bit about it ... another red flag was when the DM went 'wow i love the detail of your backstory but idk what i can do with it tho ):'

#[static] #it immediately made me feel bad for trying to make a character work with the aesthetic she had given us tbh #i could already tell she didnt seem to be super character story driven so i just made a pretty simple drifter-type #for a post-apocalyptic setting n such and made a group that tied into the whole over-arching premise #i also literally just did bullet points cuz i could tell she wasn't gonna want to read one of the backstories i usually do #and as someone who has mostly dm'd in the past i did my v best to make a character that was super easy for the dm to incorporate in any way #like a solid reason for being there a reason for wanting to adventure with strangers a reason for seeing the mission through no matter what #made a whole small faction and connected them to the overarching theme and plot in multiple ways #wrote down lore and npcs she could use for the faction if she didnt want to make up her own #like all the works and all i got was two sentences back about it ... one of them being like 'cool but i dont like the extra details' #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh #ok im done yelling now i just need to vent for a second #i feel bad for feeling kinda bummed about the experience because this is the first time i got to play at a physical table in years #and i know how hard it is to DM #but also when you come to the table with zero notes for the first session its ... probably gonna be disappointing jkfghdf #i DID have fun however because the party banter was hilarious and it was fun getting to hang out with ppl! #but communication between DM and players was not great #also let me be clear she did like that i made so many connections and hooks into the story and it helped her a lot #she was NOT interested in my character's past like ... jobs or npcs #but also u could just Not say anything about it and just be like 'sweet cool thanks for the info' LMAo

hm. i think i am going to stop going to counseling. he does not understand me. he pathologizes things that are not pathological.

#purrs #the premises of counseling / therapy are that you need to have boundaries and be self sufficient and fully healed. FUCK THAT! relationships #are not transactions. we are allowed to need each other. we are allowed to blur lines. we are human and messy. our thoughts and feelings are #PRECIOUS. im not letting go of my thoughts they mean EVERYTHING to me they are the key to the WORLD. im not letting go of redacted why on #EARTH would i stop redacteding to redacted that is HELPFUL for me. i don’t CARE about the roots. who the fuck is it hurting????? NO ONE!!!!! #the way he flat out told me he agrees with my mom. bitch im done forever. im done literaly forever. i don’t know how to tell him but im done #forever. maybe it’s just my id which is what he said to me LMFAO and like maybe i just don’t like being uncomfortable or facing hard truths. #but i don’t fucking think it’s TRUE!!!!!!!!!! yeah i need to grow yeah i have unhealthy behaviors. but i don’t need to let go of the whole #THING bc of some arbitrary transactional concept of what relationships are supposed to be / mean. ive NEVER had a counselor try to uproot th #the whole damn thing like omg what is WRONG with you. i #im paying this man $25 a week to UNDERSTAND me and not ONCE have i felt understood by him. counselors can disagree with me but i literally #never feel like he is on my side. he’s adhering to conventional ideas about what parents are supposed to be and friends are supposed to be a #and work is supposed to be etc etc. and so patronizingly said just enjoy being 23 you don’t wanna waste your 20s! FUCK YOU. i will not #regret anything even if it’s unusual. FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! #and also i know he probably watches back thru the recordings and has like his supervisor and professors watch them too which means that #there is a whole team of scientists + my family studying me in a lab and thinking im insane and finding ways to tell me. but fucking bold of #him to assume he can give me any meaningful valuable insight when he is actively checking his laptop / phone during our sessions and rarely #if eve gives me a chance to drive MY OWN CONVERSATION THAT IM PAYING FOR and is so phony abt being on the recording. like Omg. maybe im just #grown out of it. it fucking SUCKS bc i actually have things i am not normal about and really need help with and i can’t actually get help fr #from ppl whose job it is to fucking help me bc they think im not normal about things i PROMISEEEE i am normal about. and the way i effective #effectively told him that and he responded that he can’t take that credibly bc there’s no action behind it BY WHICH HE MEANS I HAVENT #STOPPED REDACTEDING TO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT REDACTED IN MY WHOLE LIFE? THAT I HAVENT DECIDED IM DONE LEARNING SND GROWING AND CUT IT #OFF?????? DO YOU FUCKING HEAR YOURSELF. INSANE. the ANTITHESIS of human. we are MEANT TO BE CONNECTED. FUCK!!!!!!!!! #delete later #my old counselors challenged me and disagreed with me b it i never felt like they flat out were unwilling to meet me where i am and #compromise with me. is that not what counselors are supposed to do???? or have i just had bad counselors until now??? because im NORMAL. i #swear to fucking god. im normal. im literally normal and it is not doing ANYONE harm. what is wrong with you. GOD

[vynive]

wow ok dungeon meshi very very good

#its like. exactly the kind of thing id make. ive literally thought abt doing a tabletop session with this premise before #and its so well done!

[blujayonthewing]

on the one hand I think an interesting direction to take melliwyk getting increasingly stressed and overtaxed and frantic would be for her behavior become increasingly careless and reckless, but the problem is that a part of why she's been Like This is that I don't want any of the Important Things she's trying to figure out to spin out of control

#the stakes are high enough that I'M too stressed about fucking things up to play too much into 'she's cracking under pressure' :') #justin got to play out zhartook struggling to process trauma with a really narratively cool PC-and-DM-controlled Loss Of Control #in the form of tying his first circle of the moon elemental wildshape to an uncontrolled emotional response #for melliwyk there isn't anything really Like That? I guess I could work with the DM to script a longer sleep incident but #that's not really the same-- for one thing zhartook becoming an uncontrolled fire elemental was An Encounter; both solvable and over quickly #for another thing melliwyk sometimes not being able to be awakened for longer stretches of time is a known possibility #(the mechanics behind the premise that if I ever couldn't make a session my character could just be asleep the whole time) #it's not CLEARLY tied to stress and it's not really actionable on my part or the party's #in theory-- or in a scripted show or written story-- it would be a chance for the party to pick up for her #after which she realizes she really doesn't have to put so much on just herself without asking for help #in PRACTICE I feel like it would just be really annoying for everyone lol #I dunno! she's definitely pushed herself more and slept less #but again I as a player don't wanna push 'your wizard isn't long resting' too far either :') not really fair to everyone else... #there's a necronomicon that's probably cursed but the benefits of attuning to it anyway aren't extremely clear? #I MEAN it definitely HAS benefits but they're not anything urgently useful right now #alas I continue not to be creative or intelligent enough to roleplay a chaotic wizard gnome #about me #my OCs #melliwyk

yellowjackets season 2

#yellowjackets #misha speaks #i'm also thinking abt how i went for a stargazing session w my friend who's in an astronomy class right after i watched e1 #and i was telling my friend this and the proff heard the premise of yellowjackets #and kept referencing it he was like that's the north star- thats what you would follow if you were a soccer team and your #plane crashed in the wilderness. speaking of cannibalism here are two nebulas that are ripping each other apart. #that proff is amazing anyway #this is from 212 by azealia banks btw #cannibalism m

DM quick tip: 1 hour of combat equals 1 post-it note

What you need on the post-it note:

an objective for the hour (save villagers by stopping the sacrifice)

Number of enemies and of which kind

what happens if the players succeed (cultists will try to complete the ritual using themselves as sacrifices)

what happens if the players fail (fiend summoned)

General timing of the fight (whether the sacrifice is attempted on the first or second round of combat)

whether there is anything special about the enemies (cultists have Produce Flame cantrip)

what loot is awarded, if any (ceremonial dagger). loot can also be information

This works for if you have fights longer than an hour as well, you just have to split the larger fight into phases with separate but related objectives

The example above is actually about double what I usually write, because the monday game has a fluctuating number of players (usually 3-9) that I have to account for

#dnd #BAP campaign #this campaigns combat is run fairly loose and improvy since its just a beer and peanuts style game #like its a 'we got 1.5 hours ti get shit done heres the premise go forth and kill' #so this is the ONLY combat they'll be doing for the session #so in a normal campaign youd prolly want less enemies and not to give your CR 1/8 enemies a cantrip that does 1d8 damage #dnd 5e

[pagesofkenna]

anyone wanna bounce around ideas for an episodic campaign i could run

#im trying to figure out premise ideas #like 'oh do a home base campaign and every session is a different mission they go out on!' ok yes right #whats the premise tho. just generic dnd style adventurers with a castle doing job board quests? #i need like. a Thing #like the campaign idea where the players are dungeon cleaners or something? thats a concept on my list #we're not doing dnd tho so i'm not limited to generic swords and sorcery either #i kinda want to pitch a pirate campaign but idk what the episodic adventures would be? #another idea i have written down is Kids on Brooms bc that sounds fun to run but. i also dont know what the episodic adventures would be

just saw a tweet where someone was like "I hate succession, all the characters are horrible selfish people, if I was in that environment I'd say fuck the money and just get out" and like. It's been a long fucking time since I've seen someone misunderstand the fundamental theme of a show this badly wow

#suck session #succession #jay talks #look it's fine if you don't like it that's totally fair but like. don't act like it's badly written just bc you don't enjoy the fundamental #premise of the show

Screaming.....crying.......frothing at the mouth;; the way life consistently thrives with positive reinforcement is hitting hard tonight boys

#went to a training session on the effects of positive reinforcement #be reminded of your experience with children and consistently how positive reinforcement works better #how showing good examples made people feel good and others strive to be better #now im watching cat clicker training #have experience with dog clickers and know basic premise of instant reward/positive reinforcement #video - not only does it enrich the cats life but it can create a deeper bond #even plants shift their limbs to reach for the sun... are we not all looking for a little more warmth and love in this cold world? #how can we not understand the power of kindness and thoughtfulness? #dont mind me.... being blown away by #(and dont think i don't have a fuck ton of baggage with the following word but its the most accurate) #gratitude #a wild olivia appeared! #olivia rambles in the tags
