for real though, personal posts get a bad rap
like i will see people apologize for making a lot of them and i’m just
dude
a) it’s YOUR blog, you can recite the greek alphabet one post at a time if you really want to
b) you don’t owe your followers shit
c) personal posts are fucking interesting, man. if i am following a blog i am okay! with knowing about the person behind that blog! nobody’s gonna begrudge you having a life outside the intermajig and talking about it.
or should i simply wait
Day 12!, young or old (exuse the line art in this one....my cat tried to help and i didn't wanna start over...)
@spacebunprince

dont kill yourself tonight ok
you have a really pretty smile and i know its not always easy to manage one but itd be a bummer if we never had the chance to see it ever again
youre really important and you matter a lot so stay safe and try and have a nice sleep
(Context: we’re playing Curse of Strahd. One of the random encounters is a crazy dude and five twig blights. Our party of five, myself included, quickly get through most of them…but we’re having a lot of trouble with the last blight… After going an entire round with no one hitting this thing:)
Me: Geez, this thing is badass. We should keep it as our mascot.
Cleric: ….. I try to reason with it.
DM: Uh, okay, what do you say?
Cleric: “Hey little guy, calm down. We won’t hurt you. If you stop, we’ll be friends.”
DM: Roll persuasion.
Cleric: [rolls] ….Uh….low….
Me: I give him advantage.
DM: Okay, what do you say?
Me: “We’ll be great friends! We’ll take you out of here and give you lots of sunlight!” (At the time I didn’t know they were vampiric, lol.)
Cleric: [rolls again] 26!
DM: You see the bush pause, seeming to listen…and then it lashes out at you! [rolls] ….Critting!
(Everyone collectively loses their shit. It’s the sorcerer’s turn.)
Paladin: Wait, wait. Can you delay? I want to try something.
DM: There’s no “delay”, but you can hold an action.
Sorcerer: I hold a firebolt if it attacks.
DM: Alright. Paladin’s turn.
Paladin: Okay, I try to reason with it.
DM: What do you say?
Paladin: I come over to it, and start to pet it. “It’s okay little buddy, we’ll be nice, we promise.”
DM: It attacks you. [rolls] ….Critting again!
Sorcerer: I launch my firebolt. [hits, rolls damage]
Everyone: NO!
DM: The shrub goes up in flame and keels over, motionless.
Me: NO, LARRY!
(There’s a few minute cut here in which we loot the corpse and I, a grave cleric, bury the dead man and try to decide what to do with Larry. Eventually…)
Me: I plant Larry and hope his roots are strong.
Cleric: We can come back later to check on him.
Warlock: We can just take him with us.
Me: OMG yes. Anyone have a pot??
Sorcerer: I have a small chest…
Me: I plant him with some dirt in the chest.
DM: Wow, guys. Wow. Okay.
(We proceed to roll nature checks to figure out what this thing is and how to take care of it. The Paladin rolls high enough to get its full creature block. We now know that it’s vampiric.)
Cleric: I was hurt in the battle, so I drip some of my blood on the plant.
Warlock: I’ll do the same.
DM: [in total disbelief] Okay, both of you take one point of damage for feeding the shrub.
(They happily do so. Much later we encounter a woman on the road to Valaki, the lady who sells dream cakes. The DM forgot about her in the village so he put her here so we can have an interaction. We eventually discover her secrets, beat the crap out of her, and she escapes, leaving her cart behind.)
Me: So it has a hatch and stuff? I want to put dirt in the hatch and plant Larry in it.
DM: …You….You do so…
Me: Sweet!
(Now we have a twig blight we torched and are now attempting to nurse back to health. The DM has since gone to a DM group to ask advice about this development and he’s basically been told to give us Larry. XD I might be back in another week with a Larry update…)
