@Snackness If you tell me when it is up there, I will buy one! It will be my little work buddy at the office.

@Snackness Do you make baby cthulu’s? Asking for a friend who misses her best eldritch horror dress up buddy. But also cause I wanted to ask before I go buy something else you have up there instead

@Testament One day I will create an alt that has moldy blue cheese ball eyes. ONE DAY.

@RightMeow I feel this. I was often warned off of trying to dig in to reincarnation stuff as Azova. And the last thing I wanted to do was cheese it and try to get an NPC to tell me. I regret not taking that leap, honestly.

Until the very end, it was a pretty pervasive thing it feels like, to discourage people even if it was just IC. Only so many times an avenue of rp is closed off before you give up OOC as well.

This is such a cool thread!

So, Alis secret: She had one from the beginning, about having nightmares that a den of white dragons was attacked in their sleep by a horde of shavs that were poofed in by a dragon with a black claw. And she realized after hearing what happened at Sanctum while she was training in Arx that she’d dreamt of what happened to the family, and knew it must have been something other than what it seemed.

But, later on I got a much bigger secret through RP. Irony had contacted several people asking for someone to tell her about being a Knight and what it was all about. And Alis being all Oathlands Knighty was like ‘I am not letting letting someone that isn’t a //Valardin// Knight talk about Knighthood without getting a word in about how WE do it. So ofc she volunteered. And when Irony asked to be Alis’ squire she absolutely said yes, and had no idea that Irony was really a dragon. Not until much later, when Tolv came to Alis and was like 'hey, there’s a dragon that’s been trapped in a pit in YOUR LANDS since forever. You might wanna get them out before they’re consumed for Primum. And in the course of the rescue, in the best scene ever, Alis was injured by giant insect things (b/c of course giant insect things) and Irony got BIG MAD. Literally big mad, and turned into a dragon cause someone hurt her human. And that is the story of how Alis became a young dragon’s familiar. Big ol secret to those outside the Red Wardens until endgame.

Azova’s secret, on the other hand, I didn’t ever get to fully explore, which makes me sad. It started with just having the ability in any battlefield or place like the House of Solace, to know who was the most injured and close to death and exactly where to find them so they could be helped.

Found out through my final rfr that she’s the reincarnation of a Caer’alfar era champion of Lagoma. One of the goddess’ aspects of healing in battle.

I didn’t know any of this when I leaned heavily into her being a Mercy and asked for Legendary Mercy as my title for getting Medicine 6. But, it would have been so cool to play on all of that in game.

All in all, I think both characters and their secrets in the end kicked ass

What’s up

@tsar hey there

When someone asks for volunteers, and so you volunteer. But then they completely ignore your messenger, and don’t even bother with a token ‘sorry, no room for you’ response. So you’re left hanging until you see the scene they needed volunteers for begin.

Please enjoy my crazy dog in a crazy dog costume! I’mma stuff him in this on Halloween so when he barks like a maniac at everything that wanders by, he will look the part

@Pink If it helps (I know it might not), there are plenty of us there who are more than happy with a couple of well written lines as poses. Some days I am in an okay mood to be able to write a novel for a pose, but mostly my brain is way too fried for it. I’ve been in scenes on Concordia and elsewhere, where zingy one liners wind up as the end of a scene cause that’s just how we roll.

Kudos to those who manage to consistently feel capable of 1000+ word poses though, and some are lovely roleplayers whom I always enjoy rping with. Even if I feel a little inadequate for my relatively smol poses in comparison

@crawfish I’ve been exactly there. It sucks so much. Screw anyone who can’t give you some grace right now.

@Aria Hello member of my tribe! I wish I had good advice or product recs for this. But I have only solidarity.

How my dog begs for treats. Infuriatingly adorable, we can’t say no!

Try using CTRL + Up Arrow and see if that works.

@junipersky I am laughing so hard right now and I am in the office, with not enough noise around me to mask my hilarity.

*sidles up next to @Snackness *

@junipersky
I second this. We switched school districts, and not only did I walk over that IEP, I had to walk over and email her independent diagnosis confirmation with full report, and firmly insisted on the addition of a one on one aide for her since that had been added later.

I don’t think it matters what state you’re in, though some are better than others. Advocate, advocate, advocate!!! They won’t know what your child needs better than you do, so don’t be afraid to speak up.

14 is my favorite, because 10 billion is a LOT of people who immediately just cannot. I like to think I only cause 9 billion people to do that.

@kalakh That pic just made my day, ty.
