Ochre World OC

that really pretty when its on the other side of a cell phone screen. I imagine i would require my brown trousers if i were there IRL

i get so miserable off that scenario i made up in my head

like im not a freedom fighter or some blazing revolutionary i just know i have the means to provide a hot meal to others, i can donate to programs that make sure children in my neighborhood get school supplies, i can spend a little time at the library helping ppl sign up for resources they need to keep the lights on, that is a hell of a lot more than what these politicians r doing right now this very second, and u can do it to, it doesnt have to be ur whole paycheck or ur whole pantry or ur whole closet, u can spare a little, even if u cant give any of that stuff ur itself time can be spared…. u can google stuff in ur area and see where u can pitch in, sometimes all some groups near u need is more reach to help people, a few flyers passed out, a few numbers shared around, this is not rocket science

Taking the "like a vampire but toned down for game balance purposes" implementation of dhampir and doing it with succubi instead would be such an evil thing to put on a character like hey. you've got some weak Seduction Powers whether you're into that or not. do people actually like you or are you using the evil powers on them without knowing it? are your feelings genuine or do you want to feed on the people you think you care about? haha people think you're an evil sex demon and every interaction you have with others is going to have that lingering in the background

Hazy nostalgic flashback montage but instead of a dead wife it’s a defunct kebab shop

"The Ancients were capable of wondrous things, but they often made mistakes, and 'dungeons' are the outcome of those mistakes" is a common conceit in dungeon-crawling fantasy, but the Ancients' fuckups are typically framed as products of hubris or madness. I want to see a setting where they messed up for the same reason that real-world engineering and public works projects often come to horrifying ends. The safety reports were suppressed because the architect was somebody's cousin. The plans clearly called for unobtanium rods, but a malfeasant contractor swapped them for mudanium and pocketed the difference. Somebody got sick of having to re-summon the hellgate each dawn and propped it open with a shoe.

my actual vampire hot take is that if you're going to be a 'vegetarian' vampire (a vampire that only drinks the blood of animals) you MUST have hunter education. i'm so sick of people being like oh well predator animals are mean and scary because they kill cute 'harmless' animals like NO they're crucial for the environment and if you're going to hunt animals for blood you still need to stick to regular people hunting guidelines and only hunt things that are in season and abide by your areas bag limits

vampire that did a detailed study about whether vampires can get prion diseases and concluded they can't and preferentially hunts animals with chronic wasting disease. and then incinerates the corpses.

vampire who is a woke predation abolitionist and so exclusively hunts predators, leaving primarily herbivorous and scavenging animals alone

Also, consider. A magical version of the bends. Whenever someone from a non- or low-magical land has to go into a very magic rich forest or land or dimension, having to take breaks to let their bodies adjust to the new magic exposure or else their blood will boil in their veins or they'll Transform
