Something very familiar and heartbreaking about Ashton saying that what you do for family is let them go when they don't want to stick around anymore. When you're no longer useful.
"I would have done the same" was just him trying to say "I'm not better than them" but those are not the same messages. They think themselves harsher and more pragmatic than they are.
POV: you’re a Jason Todd fan watching his life fall apart for the 20th time:
WOW
my hands hurt. This whole digital art thing is no joke-
okay, from left to right we have TJ (Tensen), Stefan, TJ (Talia), Cirice, TJ (Tenia) and Blue (Tilly) probably all of the Wagner Kids.
Now to swan dive into my next project
the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore
who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”
at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it
A non-exhaustive list of things that the Mighty Nein will now need to explain to Molly:
‘Nott’ the goblin having always been Veth the halfling
Veth being married with a child
Fjord’s accent change
Fjord’s patron change
Who Caduceus is
Who Essek is
What the dodecahedron they carried around for a month was
‘You know how when the war broke out, you immediately wanted us to not get involved in any way whatsoever? About that…’
Why Yasha’s wings and hair are different
The Gentleman is Jester’s dad
Fjord and Jester are dating now
Caleb and Essek are ‘It’s complicated’-ing now
Beau is a secret agent
Jester’s god is actually an archfey (and a weasel, sometimes)
How different his friends are now. They’re not the self-interested assholes they once were, and it’s so much to do with him. He made one remark about leaving things better, and they took that and turned it into a rallying cry, made it a mission. It inspired them, it steeled them. They became people who stopped a war and prevented the awakening of an evil god. They touched so many lives and finally saved the world. They’re not what he remembers. They’re brighter and braver and kinder and so, so much stronger
‘We definitely told our two new members about the time you put egg on your dick, and we gave them absolutely zero context.’
Vox Machina is literally "We defeated you with the power of friendship and this gun we found"
I could not find a 30 day challenge I liked, so I made one. You can just use the bolded word, or get inspiration from the following ideas. Descriptions, drabbles, dialogue, drawings. No rules, do what feels most comfortable for you. I haven't numbered these, you can do that yourself, in the order you want to.
First meeting. A new friend, sibling, business partner? First impression of someone? Or perhaps someone else's first impression of your OC?
Memories. Good or bad, one or many. One almost forgotten or maybe one they want to make?
Inventory. Special items, a random collection, only the necessities? Or maybe an item they lost?
Fighting. Skills or magic? A general description or perhaps a favourite spell? A special style or move? A situation where it was used?
Anger. What makes your OC angry? Do they fight or is it silent anger?
Formal wear or event. Anything from acquiring formal wear to wearing it to the event itself.
Romance. Is it something they want? What is romance? Small moments or a full blown fairy tale?
Friendship. An old friend or one you just met? What does friendship mean to your OC?
Sickness. A small flu or a chronic illness? How does your OC deal with being sick? Or when someone else is?
Hurt. Emotional or physical.
Travel. A journey they will always remember? One they want to take? Or perhaps somewhere in the middle?
Shoes. Yes, shoes. Anything to do with shoes. Or the lack of.
Sleeping. How do they sleep? Dreams they remember? Have they slept somewhere unusual?
Darkness. Dark night, mood, mind, location, fear. Take your pick.
First light. An early morning. Why are they awake? Lounging on a bed or already on the move?
Above-average. Does your OC excel in something? Do they have special features? How about in the opinion of others?
Water. Rain, river, lake, a bucket of water? Get soaked.
Air. Flying, high spaces, wind, breathing.
Symbols. Does your OC have symbolic features? Do they like symbols? Or maybe they are the symbol.
Fire. Stories around a campfire. Cozy fireplace. Accidents. Or maybe a fiery nature?
Earth. Getting your hands dirty. Life and death. Or maybe just lying on a grassy hill.
Jewelry. Do they have heirlooms? Buying jewelry as a gift? Wearing them?
Hobbies. Physical or mental? Creative, entertaining, useful?
Sensitive. Do they have subjects they avoid. Are they ticklish? Or maybe sensitive to the feelings of others?
Happiness. What makes your OC laugh? A situation they felt happy in?
Keepsakes. Items that have special meaning? A gift? Something they found?
Soft. Clothing, touch, mood, texture.
Embarrassment. Does your OC get embarrassed easily? Maybe they are the cause? Do they like to embarrass others?
Intimate. What things do they consider intimate? Are they willing to share those? With whom?
Imagination. Use it.
That's it. 30 things, 30 days. I will do it too, after I get back home from my trip. Feel free to use on any fandom~
suggestions for gender neutral version of mom/dad? something less formal than just ‘parent’
