It makes me really sad to hear Anthony had a hard time with this season of Dungeons and Daddies because of the reception from fans and stuff but I will not stand for his Legend of Korra slander how dare you

(Then again maybe I’m like the only person in the world who loves LoK more than Atla but that’s just me)

#dungeons and daddies #dndaddies #listen I know it’s slander but I love Korra more than avatar for many reasons #and I have thoughts about what I like better about both dndads seasons but they’re so different it’s hard to compare #my absolute favorite npc is from s2 (if you’ve talked to me at all you know exactly who I’m talking about) #also the way I consumed the seasons was different too and I think that’s the same for a lot of fans #s1 I listened to all together but s2 was every other week #def brings a different energy #anyways point is I love legend of Korra

Something I doodled while listening to the Toonkind DnD game "Junkyard Crashers", DMed by @artist-of-obsessions! It was. So, so funny. Like this little thing isn't even in my personal top 10 funny moments from this game, but it happened quite early on, so it's the one that got drawn X)

Bob belongs to @fablegate and Doctor Gray Matter to @breaks-hetheon

Our lancer campaign is coming to an end, but dang if we didn't have some banger NPCs I'm going to miss

#lancerrpg #tabletop #npc #oc #my art #original #portrait #character portrait #artists on tumblr #she is so fucking rude and I love her so much #in her defense we did accidentally kill the last version of her before she was cloned again so like it's understandable to be a bit miffed #bubblegum #daybreak on the dawnline shore #gotta start tagging our campaigns there's too many

There is something really satisfying to me about the Story Quests in Genshin. I know that many people hate that the quests about the playable characters center around NPCs, but honestly? I fucking love that.

(this is more babbling than I thought it would be, but I was thinking about this before taking a nap, so now I'll put it here to stop walking in circles anymore)

They are people of this world. They live there with neighbors and fellow citizens; they work and have colleagues with whom they communicate with (or not); they have duties and hobbies and dreams, just like everyone else. The playable characters we meet and get to know are complex, but they feel more alive and well rounded, because the people around also have depth.

There are NPCs with conflict, complex histories shared among them. There is loyalty and love. There are dreams, and there is despair. The characters we are interested in are designed to be interesting, but they do live outside the Traveler's orbit too. They wake up and have a full day before them, they have plans and whims, deadlines and duties, they talk with people close to them, with people we don't even know exist.

And these story quests are a great way to show how these characters we latch onto, and want to know more about, how they interact with the world around them. How the world interacts back. What these characters think about others. How others think about them.

I loved Yoimiya's first quest a lot, because it was mainly about the NPCs. We saw what fireworks meant for them, how precious it was. We had two story lines paralleling each other at the same time, with the overall message being "this is what connects us and only us" and we get to know what Yoimiya gets out of bringing this to people. We didn't need to go in-depth through her childhood to know that this is fulfilling to her, that she loves bringing people a spark of happiness only they can truly understand, and we see people love and appreciate her back. We don't need NPCs shout how amazing she is, because she is their friend, their neighbor, a daughter, a role model. We get to see how they talk to her, what they say, what she says and how she says it.

Kokomi is still my favorite Inazuma character and her story quest made me love her more, because we see her care for Watatsumi, her relentless pursuit for the better future that hangs just out of reach now. We see how she's loved, revered, idolized and cared for. We see people needing her do her duty, but also caring for her wellbeing, because she's human like them. And we see she made a space just for herself when she's exhausted, when she needs to recharge and be Kokomi, not the Divine Priestess Sangonomiya Kokomi. We read her diary! We get to know she has a very limited social battery she needs to push daily to do her duties. She is anxious, tired, and so in love with her home and her people, she will go through this endless exhaustion with pride and care.

I even liked Ayato's quest, because it underlined his whole character nicely. He is important to the commissions, he has a good enough pull in matters. He is polite, and he worked his way up from not knowing how to lead to be at the place he is now. And meanwhile we are trying to solve the whole wedding fiasco, he is...quiet. He observes and comments, and observes some more. He pushed people to think for themselves in ways that benefited everyone, so he doesn't have to clean up more messes later. He is calm and pretty neutral overall, and the lack of interest from his side says way more than if he spilled his guts to us or we had an emotional conversation with him, when he is not the type of person to do that.

And that's another thing I like: the spaces between what is said. The insinuations, the lack of elaboration, the glossing over and switching of topics that were trying to get somewhere. Sometimes we get to know more about people by the things they don't say or that they avoid. And I like that it's portrayed in characters that aren't really open about themselves, be it through emotional distance, their work-life balance, or just them being really liking privacy. And it's not just the silent types that do that like Ayato or Alhaitham. Yae Miko doesn't really spill anything either, with her being so seemingly light hearted with a sharp edge, she directs the conversations masterfully away from places that are vulnerable.

I just love that we can see different facets of the characters through them talking, people talking, the silence and omission, the hints and jokes. The world is alive, the characters are alive, the NPCs are alive, and they all coexist. It's just the Traveler that gets roped into the shenanigans of the few powerful ones that have visions and those are the characters we follow.

There are so many characters I love, that make my day, that give me new train of thoughts to evaluate and settle my own mess of a life. Some are frustrating to the point of intrigue. Some I don't vibe with and I love them for that more, because that makes me wanna understand more.

I just really love the way the game handles the characters, even the ones I don't like. There is care put into them, and yes, there are obviously some that are more fleshed out by a lot more details and are brought back over and over in events, but all these playable characters have depth, even if it's sometimes overlooked or overshadowed by someone else. Sometimes the depth is hidden by frost to not get deep, sometimes the characters themselves put stones in the way so no one tries to dive deeper.

My love just simply overrides the weaker moments, and my mind fills in the blank spaces left behind, and I don't mind that at all.

#genshin impact #i'm rambling again #i could dissect Ayaka's story quest and why it's so dear to me #I could rant about Alhaitham's for 4 hours straight and still go on a tangent after that #i love seeing my emotional support terrors exist and i like to care for the NPCs too because they fill the world #there are too many NPCs i care about in general. some i might love even more than a playable character with how attached i get #maybe one day i will write physical love letters about all the characters that make the challenge of living so much more rewarding

Playing RGG really is a throwback to my teenage fandom years:

My favorite Characters die and I am stuck desperately creating head canons how they miraculously survived & live happy lives far away from the plot & canon (´∀｀；)

I fixate on characters with little to no fandom content (I am starving in a corner right over there D:)

My Daddy issues are going strong again

It's the only thing that keeps me sane right now ✌

I love it so much, I can't believe I missed out on it /affectionate

#reflecting on my teenage fandom behavior makes me feel old :p #some things will never change #but thank fuck many did & my fandom experience extremly improved #future me you know exactly which characters im talking about #i love you kasuga ichiban #i wish the fandom would show you more affection D: #silently crying about nishitani & nishiki #and i have yet to start playing kiwami...but i know too much already ＞﹏＜ #npc tess rambles #npc tess fangirls

FINALLY

#that was. #wow. #lacey is a worthy opponent #love her as a character but like i did not expect her to be that wicked strong #think that was my… fourth attempt? #sheesh that took a lot of strategizing on my part #absolute wildest thing is i had my hisuian zoroark in first #disguised as my corviknight. as sort of an afterthought #and that thing stayed in the game disguised as corviknight until *the very last round* #or in other words it was not so much as targeted by ANY of her pokémon almost the entire match #talk about accidental strategic genius. if you send in a bunch of other meh pokémon that the ai would rather target #somehow your little buddy can fire off a nasty plot and kill everything the entire match and no one even realizes it’s a zoroark #man even *I* forgot it was a zoroark. in the end it got killed by excadrill’s high horsepower #i was stuck there confused for a second like i thought it was immune??? and then i was like oooooh #wow that was wild. i spent too many resources on that fight #hooo man and according to an npc: ‘despite lacey’s type advantage she’s never been able to beat drayton!’ #dawg if fairies can’t kill that guy’s dragons and especially this chick’s fairies #what hope do i have #the sv dlc experience #sv dlc spoilers

I'm now obsessed with DoL, I blame you for this! I would also now die for Sidney, I wish to lose my handholding virginity to them

#sunshine #asks #PLEASE let me take him away from the temple 😭 #they are. my fourth favourite I think! #of the love interests at least #I'm too in love with too many unromanceable npcs 😭

18. Has your OC ever had a prophecy made about them? Was it a big deal or did they ignore it? Was it straightforward or cryptic? Did it ever come to pass or did they circumvent it?

Scuffs my boot

Hiiiiiiiii friend

She kind of sort of does! The prophecy is generic enough that any nun could fill it. But… she’s the youngest and most likely to succeed so the weight of it falls upon her shoulders. It certainly feels like a big deal, to her, as it is the thing that started her on the path of a paladin. Something to do with lost saints, missing holy weapons, you know! God stuff!

It’s a prophecy from Menphina ‘herself’ so there is zero chance of Odette trying to ignore it or circumvent it. She would do anything for her Holy Lover’s affection.

It is pretty straightforward in the end goal, but vague in the… how to get there. She’s struggling through this part, now. But she has some time! She’s gotta get good with a sword and shield before she can wield the holy relics that are her’s to claim.

My end goal is to, eventually, do a mini-arc with Odette and her friends helping her find and retrieve the items! She can’t do this alone, she’s just a nun, but she is lucky enough to be friends with some very cool people!

Thank you for the ask, my friend!!! > Get to know my OC <

#Answered #about #I say end goal because I am being very slow about putting the story beats together #because I plan to open this up to friends #so I wanna be REAL CERTAIN AND SURE of things before I start it #because I can change things willy nilly when its just me playing dolls #but if I am including other peoples dolls I wanna be extra careful and mindful so they are also having fun #I've had too many friends who have had other peoples' plots make them feel used or like their OC was ripped from them and made to do #out of character things #you know? #idk #I'm also real bad about plots that focus on my own characters #it feels weird and bad !!! #i don't mind and I actually love filling a bit of NPC role for other people because odette is such a helper #but we're getting there!

Starting a sims legacy is the best and worst decision I ever made all I can think about is my lil digital people

#I’ve never played progressively like this I tend to turn aging off and just dick around until I’m bored #but I started a few months ago and I have like 60 sims in this family now lmao #I’m too obsessed with big families #the only ones I have let die so far are the OG parents. they had 3 kids I haven’t even let them become elders yet #bc I’m not great w change #but anyway I love them all sm it’s becoming a problem #literally every original NPC is long dead and many of their descendants are gone too #bc the townies become. so ugly after a few generations. and I have to repopulate from the gallery

i always wanted to make a torna cooking zine...maybe someday ill get around to it yet...

#like. xbc2 cooking zine with mostly recipes from torna and then some pyra and npc recipes #i know someone else already started one and you should go get it if you havent theres not many recipes but its CUTE and I love it and #cooking recipes require a lot of testing okay. #the argentum noodle soup for example is gonna kill me bc i have a specific vision in my mind that requires homemade broth #one of the things i think i suck the most at making orz #but white hot eggy curry is p much already designed and then some of the desserts are too~ and cloud sea crab sticks #with a shellfish-free equivalent bc my wife cant eat shellfish but still wants a fried thing #its 2 am but you can tell im thinking hard about food bc im making a grocery list #and im always thinking anout xenoblade #txt

more people need to play apico i think. it's a really delightful game, and it has a lot of tasks but none that are super time-sensitive if you don't want them to be, and it creates a nice sense of gentle pressure where you're always doing things but it's still chill. the first big update came out earlier this month, and it added butterflies and solitary bees, and a couple new mechanics, and i'm really enjoying those too!! plus, there's a small modding community with an in-game mod menu, for those who like to add a little spice- i haven't personally, but i have my eye on a few. overall i think it's a really neat, underrated little game

#kbitycus talks #apico #i loved when i first got the boat and got to sail around to different places and see new bees #and pick up spices and meet new npcs and such #i need to make my house bigger & nicer sometime but i don't like cutting down too many trees
