Mod explain "net of awareness"
( Vash's proverbial dangersense ability and it's range; him extending or withdrawing his senses to get a basic feel for life and structures around him, with some obvious limitations. Like, consider the following--
Tumblr media
--as Vash's 'passive' radius, where-- going by D&D rules --each square is 5 feet. Vash's passive sense range is about 20 feet beyond his person. When he extends it out, it can go further, up to near 100 feet (he did this in Colt's thread as an example!)... but that's where it's actually a strain to keep it up for more than a few minutes.
When he's coiling up his powers, which is what he's normally doing--
Tumblr media
--the ability is still present, but it's more or less another him's body length away and that's it, c'ause he can't turn it off completely. I don't consider this as passive since he's actively suppressing it, which goes against the definition LMAO. And of course, if there's a building or something in the way, he can't sense through the building, and he's still capable of being surprised (think the fence he ran into in ep 5!)
But THIS is what I'm thinking when I say that shit LMAO )

Standing in front of your door at 1 AM to enable you to share information about pissbaby Cassius Crow.
Gladly!
As a preface for anyone on the outside looking in, the character I'm about to talk about is one not associated with anything on this blog; I should honestly set up a separate blog for him (provided people outside the PF2e group show any interest, that is), but that will come in the future. A VERY MUCH NOT BRIEF character synopsis is to follow under the readmore!
Trigger warnings for mentions of abuse and death.
Tumblr media
Cassius Crow is a character from a Pathfinder 2e oneshot I once GMed by the name of Nowhere, Breaking, who goes on to be a major driving force behind the party's actions in its follow-up campaign, Corruption over Letheia. He is a 14-year old boy who is the son of Petros Megalos, former renowned treasurer and reliquary keeper of the Graneyean Empire.
Not much is known about the cirumstances of Cassius' birth, even by Cassius himself. Equally as little is known about the reasons why he was kept sequestered away from society as a whole, relinquished to his room and kept in charge of his own enrichment and education with the masses of books provided to him. His father never spoke of his mother, his birth, or even his home city to him or anyone else. In the eyes of the country he lived in, Cassius Crow may as well not have existed.
Despite the Empire dissolving and becoming the People's Republic of New Ghindis 20 years prior to the events of the campaign, the Megalos family clung to the outdated ideals of the Empire; that magic reigned supreme, and if one couldn't make use of it, then they should prove themselves beneficial to the family and the government in any other way they can.
For Cassius' brother, Yorgos Megalos, his path was through strength. Working as a mercenary in the employ of the Crownswatch, a paramilitary organisation defending the reaches of Tahrea wherever they are able, Yorgos found himself returning home with stories aplenty to tell his younger brother in his father's absense, and providing a shining example of what a member of the Megalos family looked like - at least, in the little and sparse accounts he actually shared with Petros.
For Cassius himself, it was supposed to be intellect that would prove him worthy of the Megalos name. It is through the connections Yorgos made that he would eventually be able to contact a figure of renown in Tahrea and New Ghindis alike - the Sage Frazzlespark. With the help of the Sage, Cassius would be guided through many things he struggled with, and found that he had something of a proficiency for using scrolls, enchanting items, and a minor penchant for potioncraft.
In spite of his efforts, Petros would yet refuse to recognise Cassius as someone worthy of the Megalos family name. As a bastard, Cassius stood as the sponge of anger and frustration for Petros whenever the failings of his family and the empire got to him, day after day, to the point where Cassius' signature colour of outfit became a deep crimson to better conceal the blood spat from his mouth in the moments his father's wrath got the better of him yet again.
It is also through Frazzlespark's counsel that he came to learn about many of the magical items still in Petros' collection, the most notable among which being the legendary knife Starflayer, capable of rending tears in the fabric of the planes. This is a surprise tool that would end him later!
About a month or two before the beginning of the campaign, Cassius overheard the news being delivered to his father that Yorgos had been felled in combat. Wracked with grief and denied the chance to mourn alongside his father, Cassius felt as though he no longer had anyone left to be proud of him, or shelter him from his father.
Cassius decided to do something drastic; to take after his brother, and take the name through the path of power. To accomplish this, he would steal Starflayer from Petros' treasury and take it to a space that lay between the planes; the most convenient entrance he was able to locate (again, thanks to a note in one of Frazzlespark's letters) was an interdimensional pub known as the Nowhere Tavern, owned by a former were-owlbear known as Tawny. From that space, he would attempt to use Starflayer to breach the astral plane, and absorb its essence to grant himself sorcerous powers.
Tawny would, of course, take issue with Cassius' abuse of the pocket dimension he used to house his establishment - for in the attempt, he recklessly opened portals to the other elemental planes, inflicting random attacks by elemental entities upon the material plane. For the sake of the tavern, and of the waking world, Tawny called upon three adventurers to stop him. During their attempt to quell Cassius, he would finally succeed, and link himself to the Astral Plane - but even that strength would be insufficient to overcome the adventurers hired to subdue him.
In an act of desperation, Cassius wildly flung Starflayer about until he linked himself to all six elemental planes - but he would quickly get overwhelmed by the energy, and his essence was then split and scattered across the elemental chaos like sand in a dust storm. The adventurers barely escaped the collapsing pocket dimension Cassius had been using for himself, and awakened as though from a dream with Tawny's thanks - remaining entirely unconvinced that the events that transpired could have been a dream.
One member of the party, a researcher and librarian by the name of Juniper, would take the matter directly to Sage Frazzlespark - who happened to be her wife. Equally as overcome with grief and guilt, Frazzlespark would devise a spell to attempt to tether Cassius back to the material plane from where he lay scattered in the Formless Sea, using a ring that Juniper had recovered from the escapade as an anchor.
However, the ritual went awry due to interference by the grief-torn spirit of Yorgos - she was pulled into the remains of the pocket dimension again, only to be spat back out in the wake of a mysterious event called the Harrowing Echo.
And so, she may never know if their spell worked. For all she knows, Cassius remains scattered across the planes as nothing but essence.

How do they greet someone they like / love?
Tumblr media
@meteodrives
The Turks ╰┈➤ There are some Turks she's closer to than others. Reno, understandably, is the one she always finds herself drawing close to. He was her mentor, without explicitly being given the title. However, when she broke out of the tank, Tseng held her in interrogation and had the redhead accompany him; he was, after all, the fastest turk. : ̗̀➛ Reno: Rem greets him with lazy touches against his hands, his arms; she'll pull his ponytail or flick the markings on his cheek. She relaxes around him, if the setting calls for it. In battle, she feeds off of his energy: if he swaggers, she stalks. if he walks, she prowls. If he smirks, she's grinning that mad-cat smile. If he's in high spirits, she's at ease. If he's mad, she's furious. If he's sad, she's reserved. : ̗̀➛ Rude: Rem greets him with quiet nods. She lets her smile peek through, quick and in a hurry-- if you blink, you may miss it. She's timid around the brawler but never is she afraid of him. His anger makes her ready, snapping at the heels of the enemy. To see him rattled makes Rem focused, picking up whatever she can to help him-- whether it means she's the speed or the distraction, whether she heals him or aids him from a distance. : ̗̀➛ Tseng: Nothing about her greeting is superficial, yet it isn't warm. Sharp nods, barely spoken sentences. It's a "yes, Taichou." or a "no, Taichou". Rigid shoulders from standing at attention, it's a serious face that lacks the teasing glint in her eyes. Her jaw is set, she stands at attention. Formal, to the point, and never asking too many questions: she is seen and not heard. : ̗̀➛ Elena: brazen, loud-- she treats the woman like a little sister, despite the blonde being of higher rank than her. She pinches Elena's cheeks, slings an arm over her shoulder-- laughs like lightning and loves to make the other woman blush and stutter; loves how "by the books" she is, often pushing her luck with her attitude. When Elena cries, Rem levels mountains to make her smile again. When Elena is angry, she's backing her play-- she's slugged a grown thug before in Wall Market because he made Elena's cheeks flush with rage. Protective: ready to jump down someone's throat for treating Elena like a child.
╰┈➤ The President : ̗̀➛ In the privacy of his office, when the blinds are drawn and the door is shut, she stalks towards him like he's her prey. She skitters across his desk with playfully, walking fingers. Her ass doesn't sit in the chair, but rather on the corner of his desk or sometimes in his lap. Always toeing that line of having herself thrown into HR but the real punishment comes in his home. When he's hurt, Rem is hurting. When he's displeased, Rem would slaughter a whole planet to make him happy again. When he's in hospital, Rem lays at his side like the loyal dog she is. She's clocked out and welcomed into his home, Rem kneels before him with her head bowed and her lips parted; she is pliant, she is playful but demure. She sheds the want of being a killer and only wishes to be for him.
╰┈➤ AVALANCHE : ̗̀➛ Tifa: with jumpy looks and hesitating touches; always wanting to help her. Rem's been known to clean her path before speaking to Tifa: hands full of empty bottles if the bar is busy. She wants, so badly, for the other woman to treat her the way that she does Marlene and Denzel, but Rem knows she isn't a child. She greets Tifa with respect, a sharp tongue of slum slang and swear words, and sometimes it's harmless barks or a tongue laced with anger but never is it directed, specifically, at Tifa. She is wary of the woman, walking on eggshells and just on the precipice with her. : ̗̀➛ Marlene: with a scrunched-up nose and hands crooked into harmless claws, chasing her around the bar or the dusty ground. With breathless laughter and whispering hisses as she feigns to snatch her up and tickle her until she's squealing and giggling. When Marlene cries, Rem panics and immediately seeks Tifa; she tries to watch her mouth, and never smokes around the girl. A little sister, indeed. : ̗̀➛ Denzel: not-too-rough punches to the shoulder, a ruffle of his hair. Sometimes she hooks him in a headlock and feigns punching him in the gut. Her hands are open towards him, instructing him on how to fight (much to their dismay). She wrestles him, obviously letting him win, and sometimes they argue. Sometimes, Rem forgets she isn't his mother, isn't his sister but Denzel never seems to mind. She picks him up carefully when he falls asleep waiting on Cloud, trying her best to be careful when she puts him in his bed; she doesn't hide situations from him. Rem is cautious, just like with Marlene, because she shouldn't get attached and these children are pure. Rem ruins things that are pure. : ̗̀➛ Cloud: always running to him like an injured pup. Their days vary, and their mood varies on how she reacts; if Cloud is calm then Rem is a flurry of chaos. She'll get as close as she can stand, just to watch him squirm. She cackles loud, sharp to see him jump and she loves to get a rise out of him. She'll steal his 10mm and pocket it for a week, only to have him call her and demand it back: playful, and never afraid to get into a fight with him. She touches him briefly, pushing his hair out of his face when he's falling asleep on the bench in the garage. When it's a bad day, her eyes are cold and she bares her teeth when he comes towards her; spiteful words, words that aim to wound and he gives it right back to her. She wants, eventually, to be able to touch his hand and not want to peel her skin off-- eventually, she wants to greet him like she greets her Turks, but it will never happen.

Important rules/tips I've learned as an adult that helped with anxiety
If people are mad at you, it's their responsibility to tell you, not your responsibility to guess
If they're mad at you in secret anyways, they're the ones in the wrong, not you
If people don't like what you're doing, it's their responsibility to tell you
If they say it's fine when it's really not, they're the ones in the wrong, not you
People are allowed to be wrong about you
If they are wrong about you, wait for them to bring it up, because if you try to, you will inevitably overcorrect
Some people are committed to misunderstanding you. You will not win arguments against them. Yes, even if you explain your point of view. They do not care. Drop it
The worst thing that will happen from a first-time offense is being told not to do it again. Maybe with a replacement if you broke something
You can improve relationships and gauge willingness to talk to you by giving compliments. It's like a daily log-in bonus and nobody thinks twice about it
Most things are better after you sleep on them
Most things are better after you have a meal
Most things are better after you shower
Your brain makes up consequences that are irrational. If the worst DOES come to pass and someone acts like they do in your head, they are overreacting, and you are entitled to say "what the fuck"
If your chest hurts after you feel like you've made a social error, that's called rejection-sensitive dysphoria. It means your anxiety is so bad that it's causing you physical pain, which is a good indicator that you're overreacting. Tense yourself, hold it for 20 seconds, let it go, then find a distraction
If you're suddenly angry at someone after you feel like you made a social error, that's also rejection-sensitive dysphoria. You are going to feel annoyed about it for awhile, but being genuinely pissed off is your anxiety trying to find something to blame to take the responsibility off your shoulders, and getting scared because it can't justify itself. Deep breaths, ask yourself how much you ACTUALLY want to be angry at that person, then find a distraction
"Sour grapes" is more healthy for you than stewing. Deciding you don't like someone who's perpetually annoyed with you, won't talk to you, etc. makes letting go of anxiety over them easier
If people don't like you, they will find reasons to be annoyed with you when they otherwise wouldn't. If people do like you, they will find reasons NOT to be annoyed with you when they otherwise would. People do not ping-pong between the two
You DO have to make a conscious choice not to think about something. If you're having trouble circling back to it, say out loud that you're done thinking about it and why. Then find a distraction
When you're upset, part of you is going to want to make false bids for attention (suddenly texting differently, heavy sighs, etc. but when someone asks you about it, you tell them it's nothing). Do not listen to it. You gain nothing from it except more misery
People like to help people they care about. It makes them feel good about themselves
If you think you're insufferable for needing help, see above. Yes, really. They get a serotonin kick from it
If you think you're insufferable for mannerisms you have, you either have to consciously choose not to do them, or accept that they're part of the package that comes with you. Being apologetic about existing does nothing except make you more miserable
If you do things you don't like when you feel meh about it, it makes it easier to do them when you hate it
If you avoid things you don't like when you feel meh about it, it reinforces and magnifies how bad it feels when you hate it
Seriously. Read those last two points again. If you can make yourself make a phone call when you've got nothing to lose, you will slowly lose that panic you get when you have to make a phone call you haven't prepared for. You do have to CONSCIOUSLY take that step
Hobbies that make you care for something get rid of that nagging feeling that you're not doing enough. Go grow some rosemary
If you don't engage with your hobbies regularly, you will feel miserable, and anxiety will spike
Hobbies are things that give you a bit of happiness. They do not have to be organized or named to do that. Go be creative in something. Play with coins. Make up lists. Start a new WIP
No one cares what you look like
If people point out things they don't like about how you look unprompted, they are being rude. You are entitled to say "what the fuck"
People who like you will find you pretty to some degree. Minor things about your appearance go completely unnoticed. Literally, scars and dots and blemishes do not register to someone who likes your company
You looking at yourself in the mirror is 10x more closely than anyone is going to look at you
If you're anxious about your body type, and you're creatively inclined, make/write an oc with that same shape. Give them nice things and make other characters love them. Put them on adventures. You'll start to see yourself in the mirror more kindly
You care about wording and perfect lines/colors way more than anyone who views your work ever will
Sometimes when you're upset, you're going to feel like not eating. Do not do that. Not eating makes you more miserable
Same with things you normally enjoy. Denying yourself helps no one. You are punishing yourself for being sad. Stop it
Both of these will take conscious decision to break the habit of. Make yourself do it anyways, and it will slowly get easier
And again, to reiterate: If someone is mad at you, it is THEIR responsibility to tell you, not your responsibility to guess

sketti and vash's mobile-friendly rules and reminders!
( Hello! Sketti here with a little mini rules post, so people don't have to fish up my carrd, or if said carrd invokes a bit of eyestrain on mobile. Just keeping some of the more important stuff handy for folks!
Mun and Muse are 25+. Muse is of unknown-but-very-much-adult age, and Mun is 30! Mun is also she/they!
I definitely prefer to write with people 21+. It's nothing personal at all but I am literally 30. Please don't interact with me if you're a minor.
My timezone is EST, and I'm only usually around starting at about 8:30PM-9PM until 12AM-1AM on weekdays. Anything I don't reply to is in drafts!
After a bit of trial and error, it seems like I try to match my partner's writing style in reply posts! So write how you want!
I am using the beta-editor and cannot change it, apparently. If you can't trim your posts but are using the beta-editor, I'll trim the post no problem~! If I can't trim my reblog off your post, I'll let you know!
If you're a multi-muse interested in interacting, please DM me and specify with which muse or muses you wanna introduce to Vash!
No god-modding, no forceshipping, no drama, anti-call out post unless it's someone hurting people with proof, etc. Be respectful and I'll do the same.
Triggers will be appropriately tagged, but I am human. I am absolutely fine with being prodded (nicely) if I accidentally heck it up.
Speaking of, I have a blanket tag for that kind of thing! Blacklist LOOK AWAY;; to hide anything I might have with more than a handful of triggers! I'll try to put that kind of content under Read Mores, or moving it to Discord.
Until Stampede stops posting new episodes, Saturday is ICON DAY. Replies will be slower due to me updating my reserve of icons!
Vash is non-human and is both very perceptive and capable, despite how he presents himself. I will never use this to insta-hit another muse, but I can and will use it to occasionally dodge or non-lethally counter.
Muse opinions and thoughts do not reflect that of the Mun!
And finally, I'm just here to have fun. I love angst and messing with my boy here, but I also like fluff, and fun stuff, and silly anon asks. If we vibe? Good luck dealing with my shenanigans. > V<
And that about covers it! And as a bit of a side-bar, I am more than willing to exchange Discords if we vibe well, but due to a pretty recent personal issue, I don't have it set to auto-login anymore and often forget about it. If we add each other and I'm on Tumblr but you wanna talk on Discord, feel free to ping me here and tell my forgetful butt to get on! )

Okay, so this munday actually happens to fall on my birthday so I wanted to get some thoughts out before I go play DRG with some friends.
The past few years have been... REALLY fucking tough for me. I’m not about to say that means things have eased up that much for me, but I’m happy with saying I’m in a way, WAY better place than I was before. Sure, things could be better, but... the occasions where I cry myself to sleep are VERY few and far between now that I’m out of academia and thriving in the real world.
I’m more of my own person than I’ve ever been and I love that for me, and I’m glad that, in some capacity, I could share that journey with all of you. I’ve made such innumerable friends through my roleplaying and writing and I wouldn’t give any of that up for the world. Even if I don’t have the spoons to get around to threads some days, each and every one of you that reads this truly does mean the world to me. Every character, every thread, every interpretation, every drabble I have the pleasure of seeing does nothing but uplift and inspire me.
In the spirit of munday, I’m gonna do something rare and share a 5-year comparison, between when I was 19 and just yesterday, on the cusp of my 24th birthday. If it doesn’t speak for itself for how far I’ve come and how so very proud of myself I am, I don’t know what will.
Happy munday y’all, and bless you all.

[ID: a screenshot of the “Bad Art” coloumn of the table shown in the original tweet.
The sections are: “makes you feel weird”, “saps energy”, “sets off a downward spiral”, “confuses the mind”, “produces stagnation”, “weed” (as a drug analogy), “unstructured and obsessively anti-rhythm”, “instinctively recognised as a scam”, “a malevolently bad map”, “obfuscation, lies, resentment”, “wises to destroy the canon”, “mocks the concept of values”, “enfeebles life”, “spits on beauty and actively celebrates ugliness”, and “bad art is whining, coping, seething, and a waste of time”.
