Funniest bit of the dnd movie is Xenk clearly being an NPC the DM introduced for lore and plot purposes who’s a competent fighter because of course he is, his reputation and backstory require it. But whoopsies the DM made him too powerful, the whole party likes him, and now they want him to come with to fight the BBEG which will completely and utterly fuck up the encounter balance

So instead of there being any actual plot reason he can’t join Xenk just says “I can’t. This is something only you can do.” And then walks off, never to interact with the party again because the DM just knows those little shits will find a way to use their OP creation against them

#but this movie was fun! clearly understood and had fun with its source material without being pure fan service #like don’t get me wrong there was fan service and jokes but I feel like even not knowing dnd you could enjoy it #I also really liked how you could tell what each spell was as it was cast even if they weren’t named! my wizard main self was so excited lol #xenk yendar #dungeons and dragons #honor among thieves #dungeons and dragons honor among thieves #dungeons and dragons movie #dnd #idk what we’re tagging this with gang so I went with all of it

[words-writ-in-starlight]

listen I expected literally Nothing from the D&D movie okay, like I can't make it clear enough that I expected the most soulless money grab with a good cgi budget imaginable, I went in having already gone through every stage of grief and landed on acceptance and LISTEN

I fucking CRIED during this dumb RPG movie. it wasn't just "not terrible" it was objectively good with a clever plot and compelling characters and sincere emotional beats. this movie loves D&D so fucking much and it NAILS the "a bunch of goobers try to be cool and accidentally discover The Power Of Friendship And Also Great Violence" classic D&D party vibe. their barbarian's last name is fucking Kilgore and my entire family cried in the theater.

I hope they make twelve of these motherfuckers.

#honor among thieves #dnd #dungeons and dragons: honor among thieves #holga kilgore #she is a BARBARIAN whose name is KILL GORE like who among us has not been in a party with this exact character #some new player who picked whatever they were told was the easiest class and gave them a name that is 98% a joke #and just piggybacked their backstory onto the most experienced player's as like rp training wheels #and then smash cut 60 sessions later and we're all getting choked up over john dingus or whatever #do you motherfuckers know how rarely i cry????? about ANYTHING????? #god it was so good #i am going to watch this an unhealthy amount #i want a separate movie for every red wizard and also one about xenk's backstory #his name is X E N K with an X these writers have played some fucking DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS #do i have to buy dead in thay now?????? i think i have to buy dead in thay now #i literally ran dnd on friday and this movie put me in WITHDRAWAL i want to play some dnd Now

Alternate sword styles and hairstyles for Xenk, from 'The Art and Making of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves'

#dungeons and dragons honor among thieves #dnd honor among thieves #dndhat #xenk yendar #dndhat bts #swords #long hair xenk #it's cool how his hair in the film is kind of a combination of all three #like they kept the locs but a bit shorter #and also the undercut

[aces-to-apples]

Xenk Yendar doesn't traffic in colloquialisms because he's so old he doesn't know any anymore

#the same way i don't understand tiktok-speak xenk hasn't understood slang in 80 years #speak plainly or shut the fuck up this man has a mission. and a quest. and a campaign. and sidequest. and a— #he's so old every time he drops a colloquialism it's so buckwild and outdated it does psychic damage #he once met a quest-giver's 100-year-old great grandmother and they chattered excitedly for over an hour #the quest-giver can't tell anyone what they discussed because those old fuckers code-switched and they couldnt understand 8 words out of 10 #xenk yendar #dungeons and dragons #honor among thieves #by apples #linguistic drift is real and it is the fucking devil #like yeah he's autistic and that's important but don't forget he is also. hella fucking old. #he's seen the rise and fall of entire royal families. he probably remembers when 'bitching' had to do with pouring tea.

I went back to sleep this morning and I had a dream about seeing a Xedgin prompt on Tumblr that I came up with a little ficlet for... Then I woke up and was mad that it wasn't real :(

#also I don't remember exactly what the prompt was sadly #something about food? meals? cooking? #it was really short and cute and I was like 'I could just write this' and plotted it all out #and then I woke up #Xedgin #Edgin x Xenk #dnd honor among thieves #d&d honor among thieves

[nightlight-jpeg]

I watched the dnd movie the other day and can I just say, dnd jesus can GET IT 😏😏😏

I’m literally going to see it again tomorrow and you’d better believe he’s AT LEAST 90% of the reason

#xenk yendar #dnd movie #I’m literally so obsessed with him #new babygirl alert #i love him #babygirlification #i have brain worms #help #i just think hes really neat #I also think he’d be really nice to me and I like that in a man #also his little forehead tattoo looks like a sunshine and it’s so cute 😭 #I want to keep drawing him but I have to go to bed #the world is cruel #why does god give me his toughest battles

Saw honor among thieves and had to draw my faves

#d&d honor among thieves #honor among thieves #d&d movie #xenk yendar #sofina #idk if those are even the right tags. lmao #myart #actually really liked the movie. pleasantly surprised #all my friends told me I look exactly like the tiefling #curse of red hair #even when I dye it I still am compared to every famous redhead #also drawn on stream lol #is there even a fandom? I suppose I will find out

[drawnecromancy]

one of my favorite things about the dnd movie is Holga Kilgore's last name being Kilgore. like. Kill. Gore. Barbarian. Yes.

#dnd movie #i have several favorite things. #like. Xenk existing. #he's so handsome too #the costumes are also my favorite thing.

[andsotheuniverseended]

his autistic swag and side character charm have bewitched me

#anyways i watched the dnd movie! #Universe Ends Posts #dungeons and dragons honor among thieves #dnd hat #oh thats a fun acronym #anyway im glad we're all in agreement that xenk is the best character #he's lawful good. he's half undead. he's a paladin. he walks only in straight lines. he's queer. there is something deeply wrong with him. #he is a good man to his absolute core. he's even autistic! #(also you are ALL wrong he and edgin should not get together they should just have intense homoerotic tension) #(edgin REFUSES to admit that's what it is. then one movie Xenk shows up like 'i would like you all to meet my husband') #(and Edgin is SO normal about it guys he's so normal stop looking at him like that)

[carolofthebell]

Finally saw D&D Honor Among Thieves. Loved it. It never forgot what it was and you can tell the producers love the source material.

Also this guy:

I’m definitely in love with this guy.

Even though I’m not convinced he won’t be the big bad in a sequel.

#I’ve been hurt by one DM too many #also my brother once #betrayal is fun at the tabletop #I’ve also played the changeling that replaced my character and deceived the party for like a month and a half time… so a week in game. #never trust a dmnpc #especially the helpful ones #xenk #xenk the paladin #honor among thieves #D&D

[userastarion]

the fact that regé-jean page is not in every second of the d&d movie is a crime actually

#also xenk x edgin enemies to lovers in the sequel? #anyway i have missed seeing chris pine on screen. i haven’t watched him in a movie in forever. #this was like the perfect Chris Pine Character™️ & he’s genuinely so funny i love him #it was like having chris!kirk back except if kirk was a bard instead of a starfleet captain #LOVED the found family aspect #& the surprise bradley cooper had me squinting at the screen to make sure he was who i thought he was 😂 #anyway it was SO fun and i’ll 100% watch it again eventually #b:personal #oh also the point of this post is that rege-jean page is too hot to leave out of like 85% of the film #text post

Ok so I just watched the Dungeons & Dragons movie, Honor Among Thieves, and it was really good?? I didn’t really have any predictions or expectations, but I loved it! The setting, character names, plot, and music were all very D&D! There were moments when it was like, yeah, that’s a failed roll… or else, whoa! Nat 20! Also the best part was the ✨found family✨ cause that gets me every time… Anyway 12/10 definitely would recommend!

#And Edgin & Xenk are so shippable… like the only dynamic better than lawful good paladin/bard is paladin/rogue #but Edgin has rogue vibes anyway so that’s fine #My only regret is that we didn’t get to see Edgin doing bard magic… where’s my inspiration? Hideous laughter? Vicious mockery?? #Oh and also a 100% platonic m/f friendship… love that!! #honor among thieves #dungeons & dragons Honor among thieves

Finally saw Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves tonight. It was fun and I enjoyed it. There were dungeons, and there were dragons, and, there was, in fact, honor among thieves (sometimes). There were also practical effects, which looked very cool and are something I always respect and appreciate. Why are there so many "and"s in this paragraph?

Anyway if they do make a sequel I hope we see more of Xenk Yendar, because I liked him a lot and also want to see more of his paladin abilities, because he didn't really use any aside from Divine Sense. I guess his sword glowed after he said some magic words which was supposed to be...something? I don't actually know what that was supposed to represent, it didn't seem to do much at all. I just really want to see him smite a lich or something lmao.

#rambling and raving #film talk #also while i only mentioned xenk in the body of the post i did like all the other characters lol i just wasn't sure how to fit that in

[hazardsoflove]

just saw honor among thieves. fun movie but my only criticism is that no dnd party has that many straight people in it

#like not ONE gay person? anyway edgin and xenk should kiss in the sequel #to me theyre all gay. also i wish they did more magic w edgin and doric bc bards and druids are also spellcaster but it was still saur fun #i want ten more of them #r.txt

[croc-odette]

whenever people are like ‘it’s so wonderful that these guy and girl best friend characters aren’t given a romantic arc!’ and i’m like yeah..... but wait a minute what if they were

#me thinking about how holga could just pick up edgin and hold him on her hip like a laundry basket. hm #the appeal of edgin and xenk is so real so true. but also holga....... #ALSO... lmao the way that when this happens..... there usually... are other ~coincidnetal~ factors... #that may be a less savory reason for why they don't have a romantic arc together....
