No worries dude, it will definitely be active for a good while yet

Usually they don't get posts this fast in such a small group, this is unusually high hype

if people have specific tags that they want to be hit by a cranky wizard or an alarming adept, hmu

saturday is going to have at least one top level and it will be jousting because she is an excellent jouster, actually. she's never had any training in it but she's very, very good

aran knows why

did you know there's no actual rule, in jousting, against tackling the other guy off his horse and punching him in the face?

XD

i love saturday

she's going to leave a trail of incredibly specific rules additions in the faeries games prompts

I got a TL up for cranky wizard or I can hit yours

im going to have at least One icon for raistlin but I can't promise more than that because icons bore me frankly

I can go dig up images and make you some squares if you want

(I do this a lot for friends)

if you want to but don't stress it

I don't even look at icons, really? they're just not a thing for me, I

I only get defensive because I worry that my incredible lack of caring reads weird to dwrp, icons seem to matter her

it's not a big thing
people mostly just like to use them as a bonus for facial expressions or w/e but it's hard if you don't have a lot of good material

book character hell....

AnabelVIII: also podcast characters...

Honestly the icons may be what matters the least in an account. The writing of the post is what's important!

there's actually a lot of good fanart of Raistlin but they're all very Dramatical Posing with intense expressions

I've had fun making my own icon sets but I've also had characters where I really resented it

(See, most recently, Nysek)

Am I going to do anything with her? Probably not. Did I want to do it anyway? For some reason.

I want to hit Saturday with Catra bc Catra will be genuinely so happy to see her ;_;

icons can be fun but these days I haven't been bothering with them as much as I used to
see p90 where most of the time I've just used the same default icon lol

I go over the top with icons but def do not expect this of others. Especially when there's less material

I used to pick songs or poems as keywords and try to pair each line with an icon...

gravenrose: awwwwww soon! i promise.

also GOD I can't remember, we're importing canon/CR from p90 yeah?

and now it's like lmao if I play a sword I don't need icon choice

you can have multiple angles of the sword

tho it's tempting to go commission someone for a sword design that I think fits the description better than the official art

this is true! or close ups of different parts of the same sword.

I am too lazy for song lyrics it is just for the visual

AnabelVIII: I plan on importing that juicy p90 cr

GOOD

Large And Small Friends ride again

when I did song lyrics and more than fifteen icons, sometimes I'd change my mind, laboriously delete, and re upload dozens with the same keywords so it all stayed in the same order
I had too much time on my hands.

gosh Im struggling to find a good pullpoint for raist tho

like his friendship challenge rating changes wildly depending on what point you pull him from - further along he's very hardened into "I am evil and everyone hates me so I will make them hate me first" sort of patterns

it's good shit

I used to play a character who wasn't like this about evil but he was like 10 years hardened into "Everyone treats me like shit, so I'll be the asshole they expect and hit them all first so it's my choice instead of something inevitable."

The major factors here are just "can the character work well enough with others to hang with the party" really

oh for sure i mean

it's very consistently not raistlin who starts shit

he barely even perpetuates it if he can avoid it

not when going off to sulk is an option

I desire complimenting Saturday on her jousting skills

that should be how they meet up again

guts: i wonder if saturday is here
/a fully armored knight arcs gently through the sky in the distance/
guts: there she is!!!'

there's always doing an early one and canon updating

I do have a jousting one but it's just guts being like "I'll just smack my opponent off with my anime sword"

but maybe she can show up secretly... and do cool moves

having to spend a little while re-acclimating to people not just hating him

oh that's such good angst tho

AnabelVIII: yes pelase...

struggling to yank his thoughts back to that naive happier track where these are his friends

and also being like << what if they're not

or something lol
haven't read that one book I did read in like ten years

under no circumstances should you re-read them, They Are Terrible

i'm only here because i want to join in the conversation about them and also i'm a masochist

three people have read these books recently despite my warnings, all of them have regretted it

this is not a place of honor, nothing of value is here, etc

nah I'm happy to let other people mine out any pieces worth keeping lol

you can get the clown value from me sporadically updating plurk on my progress

I can read good books
and mercedes lackey books, which... are mixed, but I like lots of them all the same.

believe me when I tell you I would rather read any given mercedes lackey novel than any dragonlance novel

at least everyone in valdemar has a moral compass and adult conflict resolution skills

sometimes she returns to a character after twenty years not writing them and completely forgets everything about them and refuses to check
but she likes to write Good People, so

and would presumably notice if an ocean vanished for 200 years

(i'm sorry i'm still not over that)

well
in the mage winds trilogy the cataclysm happened two thousand years ago
in the mage storms trilogy that came after that
it was one thousand years

🤔

there's more good in mercedes lackey, i think, but the continuity isn't any better.

no that's not that same thing as having the setting somehow miss that the major trading center for every single trading route around their central sea, is no longer on said trading routes, because the entire sea disappeared

like it apparently occurred to absolutely no one in this setting that an entire sea disappearing and reappearing somewhere else might. just. devastate. a local economy reliant on it,

lmao

I'll definitely throw Remy at Saturday. With that lovely p90 CR. And she gets to see how marriage suits him.
