Dumptrucks & Dragons

Queer person, 30s, polyamorous, posting whatever I want. Mostly that means:

Architecture & Urban Planning

Psychology, esp. Environmental Psychology

Dungeons & Dragons / other TTRPGs

Encouragement and support

Stage Magic / Card Magic

Frutiger Aero babyyyy

Anything I'm making (art, design, cooking)

But why limit yourself? It's the internet, it's your life, do whatever you want. I might break out of these categories whenever I feel like and frankly you should too. Never box yourself into a corner.

Felt like doodling our necromancer duo*

Concept: gay

My friend's character is sun-themed and an easily-flustered lesbian. My character is sun-themed and a muscular butch. They technically share a universe by virtue of both being made for Forgotten Realms games.

Mashes action figures together

Wanted posters for the PCs in my Strixhaven game, after the Toadhop Arc (which is not formally part of the adventure module).

Boycott Buddy tracks all the various brands owned by a given corporation, AND provides a nice little summary of why you might want to boycott that brand in the first place (with sources!).

That doesn't seem right to me (about the conclusion vis a vis magic, not the "lying to grease the wheels of social exchange" part).

It feels more intuitive to me that the reason we're okay with being deceived is because that's the universe we consent to when we agree to be shown a magic trick? Like, you know a magician is trying to fool you. That's the point. You're here to be fooled. That's what makes it entertaining.

Consenting to ignore socially unacceptable behaviors for the purpose of entertainment is really common. See: almost every kink. Or... a boxing match, right? Sparring. In the real world, you can't generally beat a dude into the floor and expect to be friends the next morning. But a boxing ring is a universe where you've consented to set aside the social faux pas of punching someone in the face; moreover, you're both expecting it to happen. That's the whole point.
