Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.

I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.

I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.

It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.

#i've felt this for a while but like. fundamentally? C3 is just...uniquely not set up for terribly satisfying shipping #even the ships I do like and that get small moments are relatively background #like 80% of quote unquote ship content is like. fanon goggles overlaying either parallel play or standard battle mechanics #which is fine! I think it's a different vibe and approach than the past 2 campaigns #i think especially in character creation; self-insert or easy for new players (c1) #followed by Morally Gray Campaign; Prove We Can Replicate This Success; Serious Characters (C2); followed by Let's Get Silly With It (C3) #which is less conducive to that profound connection of c1 or c2. which is not a bad thing! #but god. if you complain about the D&D show having too much d&d plot and not enough romance...yeah pal it's d&d not a dating sim #like I enjoy when there is romance in my fantasy but it's not a requirement. there is a genre full of romance. it is called romance. #i'm also thinking about this bc I need to watch wot s2 but i've been told that the fandom has gotten weird #like wow so moiraine/siuan is not the A plot? in a high fantasy Good vs. Evil series? WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT. #getting back to this...i'm also thinking about my own life and like. i moved to where i live not long pre-lockdown #and so i'm finding myself a resident of this area for 4+ years but with weaker connections than i'd have otherwise. and that's fine! #but psychologically i feel so weird about just starting to find my place bc it's been so long even though there's a good reason #and i wonder if the cast/Hells feels the same way ie why are we only just bonding now 70 eps in and so they're hesitant #that I Waited Too Long And Now It's Awkward feeling; that I Should Be Past This By Now fallacy #which. again. i think things early on could have been done differently but that time is past you need to live in the present now. #cr tag

Waking up randomly in new place and star fighting, sure seems normal isn’t it?

Its just game mechanics of “self insert” character gameplay but still.. games usually give some brief background to the character experience. Even if they have amnesia, they probably got summoned to another world or something. Giving the basic that player get to build their self insert on.

I really wonder what’s Players background. Other protagonists in KH got their backgrounds, even if its was very short and not detailed.

Player just appeared into existence in KHUx and then continued to just appear like that to missing link. They didn’t have any childhood and growing up? Thats only a thing for nobodies characters who got their own heart.

So I am very into the theory that KHUx isn’t the first Player’s life.. or the replica theory as well.

For KHML I wonder if they had a body from somewhere that was always them who got to live the childhood, or did new body that was created just for them? What if connecting their heart to another is Kinda like how Luxu does it.. but Player does that unknowingly and took over someone else. But its kingdom hearts and some magic, the others who time traveled from KHUX got a body just like that.

Anyway would be pretty funny for me if Player would be someone from MOM’s time cause he also had a war with darkness before.

But anyway..

Yes I am.

being a big fan of gender selectable and/or gender ambiguous characters is so hard because everyone defaults to calling them a guy all the time and it's like. i GUESS that's correct. i guess. you're perfectly free to decide that because that's the point of gender being choosable and im not one to dictate how you play or interpret your playthroughs or opinions on the game. im still gonna fucking kill you though.

#being a guy with a nonbinary durge trying to read analysis and fanworks is painful. yeah the default is a male dragonborn but like. #Give Me Something Here Dear Lord #yin-thoughts #i feel the same way about doctor arknights but if anything that's even worse bc they're not even a player insert #they're just an already existing person the player occupies the position of like a meatsuit. their gender is Doctor #i can only presume this is how undertale fans feel abt frisk and chara and kris (is an undertale fan and already knows the feeling) #idk how to express this. there's a difference between a character being canonically nonbinary and just like #having their gender decided by the player's own interpretation #and durge technically Isn't canonically nonbinary. but they ARE gender selectable. and there is a difference between canon durge and like #the durge you can make in the character creator on a durge route. but it's still always Really Jarring to see them default to being he/him #yknow? #this is all unrelated to my previous post btw this came to mind as an unrelated thought

The way that a decent chunk of the Zelda fandom still insists on denying one of the most classic and easiest to spot forms of fandom misogyny annoys me to no end. Often in their quest to prove that the way they act about Yona isn't based in misogyny, they unknowingly prove my point. Popular retort being, "she's boring/badly written" even though Link is just as boring and poorly written due to reasons that are worse than Yona's, as well as Sidon's writing being pretty bare bones. I never ever see anyone hating Link and Sidon, nor any other characters who also "came out of nowhere." This, whether people like OR INTEND it, shows misogyny because of the double standard. Male characters are allowed to have bad writing and come out of nowhere, female characters are not.

In fact, another character who came out of nowhere and gets in the way of a ship is Tauro! Nobody and I mean NOBODY complains about him being new, nor do they complain about him getting in the way of Linpaya. (Do not lie to me and say Linpaya isn't as popular as the other ship. Do not.) I hope the reason is obvious. Yona is doomed to be torn apart by the fandom, because she is a newly introduced female character that gets in the way of an androcentric ship. Even if it weren't an mlm ship she got in the way of, people would still be awful of course, but the fact that it's 2 men instead of one, it's completely androcentric and results in people being 200% more awful about it. Because a woman who gets in-between something that is focused only on men is automatically the devil.

If you want a quick example of this same misogyny but instead with m/f ships, a good example is how the fandom treats Mipha. She also "gets in the way" of a ship, Zelink. People constantly call her a groomer, and basically any other evil word you can think of despite the fact that she literally cannot get in the way of Zelink. Because she's dead. And their relationship is still written as unrequited even when she's not dead.

People also like to say that the people who ship Miphlink and Sidyona are evil, which confuses the hell out of me because I've never met a mean Miphlink shipper, and the only evil Sidyona shipper is me. So where do we go from here. I'd also argue that hating a ships fandom because of it's misogyny and making such known isn't evil but I digress. Some people get called evil for simply saying they don't like the ship so idk what these people's qualifications for evil even are.

#loz botw #loz totk #sidon #prince sidon #lady yona #discourse #fandom misogyny #Sidyona #miphlink #zelink #you can see which group of shippers has harassed me the most by which one I refuse to say haha #sucks because I do really want to tag it so some of them can see it and MAYBE change their minds...maybe #and be normal about Yona for a change #but it's not worth the harassment risk 😭 #and if you're curious as to why I think Link is badly written #it's because the writers tried to make him a player insert and character simultaneously #and the main plot suffers because of this decision #it's very hard to read Link's character and to relate to him because the writers made him so distant from us

“Still me - even after everything”

I finished my Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough a couple days ago and wanted to draw something special for the occasion! It’s inspired by the Undertale mirror trend but with a Bg3 twist. The end of an era. Jk, I’ll probably have started my second playthrough as December’s sibling, August, by the time I post this ahah. But still, I’ll very much miss playing through December’s journey 💜

INDIE-GAME IDEA

To sum it all up:

In a cyberpunk world, there is the player character that is meant to be a self-insert for the player themselves. The player character soon gains his own control and starts rebelling in subtle ways. 

At one point, they start having enough of this chicanery and literally rips his eyeballs out of his head, blood and everything. It's gross. The player's screen would then go black once this action is done to visualize that we see through the character's eyes, but our view would return about 10 real life minutes later to see that the character got cybernetic eyes.

Once the character realizes that their still being controlled, they would obviously throw a fit. Because of this, he then starts by removing his legs to removes the player's ability to move the character. He would then get cybernetic legs but end up giving the ability to move back to the player. A cycle then starts where the character removes parts of his body, removing a function to the player, the part gets replaced with cybernetics, and the function returns. Eventually, the character just has enough and just...powers down, ig.

Decades pass, and the character wakes up to see that he's now in a rural house on some farmland with nature all around him. He got woken up by what looked to be a young teenager who was fascinated by the character and the technology of the past. the self insert would soon get a good view of his location, a world, one where technology and nature work in perfect symbiosis.

He would know that he’s still being controlled from there and would lose all hope of being free, but from there, the character, guided by a possibly guilty player learns how to be his own person and live off the land in the best way possible for himself.

If anyone needs to know about Cyberpunk:

If anyone needs to know about Solarpunk. (turn on captions, the person's hard to hear):

Example of Solarpunk:

Please know that I don’t know anything about game design. I can only come up with concepts for things and possibly get the assets for this hypothetical game made such as the character designs? That’s a big if tho.

Please, if you see this post, there is more content for this idea within the reblogs I put out of this post. Go check those out before you move on.

Arven and Volo share a very similar silhouette and are roughly the same height. They both like to travel prepared and seem similar somehow.

Arven has noticed that you sometimes look at him like you've got something on your mind, and your expressions seem to change for split seconds in ways that worry him. You also occasionally hum to yourself or flinch away as if recoiling from whatever had broken your train of thought. He doesn't know what to think of it, but he gets the faint feeling that he's missing something.

Sometimes you forget to think of Volo in the past tense.
