For the blorbo from my shows ask

Favorite is hard but for blorbo I think the most about krejjh.

Scrunkly has to be the little dude. I'm forgetting eir name the like...kid. Oliver? Took one look at McCabe and went "is this my older sibling who I should bother and annoy?" And man I can relate. It's a crime I haven't drawn e.

Scrimblo bimblo/ underrated fave is definately ejjhgreb. LOOK. he such but in such a cool way! And he's the source of most of the dwarnian phrases we have right now who I am to not be grateful I just—

Glup shitto: Hreshval, or chissvatham. Case In point that I thought I was going to struggle to spell those names and I didn't. I missed an apostrophe somewhere though. But yeah everytime we get cultural information for dwarnians I won't shut up about it.

Poor little meow meow: look im not caught up but based on some of the things I've heard I think it might be Arkady. But this one just isn't for tscosi I have more interesting awnsers for other media. I love Arkady though. Stop killing people queen <3. Go to therapy queen <3. Please <3

Horse plinko: there was a dude park and McCabe worked with in season one, Greg or something, and he is mentioned in like 3 of my fics because I hate him and he should be mad. Fool. Clown. Idiot boy.

!!! Thanks for asking!!!!!!

Context: the fic takes place Fairly recent in post-cannon time, after the Vesbud retirement. The crew take a break, but they get back to hiests, pro-bono, eventually. It's what they do. The fic is the first instance in which Juno and alone have a hotel room as such.

Onto the awnser: immediately after the fic, Peter and Juno wake up from a good night rest and sneak out of the hotel with the power of intel and a clever disguise. Honorary Captain Rita Redacted insists that they rest and recover, and so they do. Sleeping on the carte-blanche's bed together as the did before feels odd, but with enough reassurance they sleep well.

The next time they go to a hotel it isn't immediately hiest-related. They have time. And so they spend a few hours of the afternoon on the bed cuddling & watching cheezy romantic streams (Juno likes to point out the unrealistic bits, and Peter makes a game out of using those exact lines on Juno. They work like a charm).

That night they sleep on the floor.

And they do this again and again, slowly changing Peter's associations. Juno holds his hand far more than he needs to, to the point of mild inconvience, and time after time again proves that niether of them plan on leaving. A few month go by like that, niether of them are in a rush.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I'm a POWDER KEG about this fic. Idk how much I wanna share publicly just yet........but the TMABB discord has seen some bits so.... why not?

It's a WIP, a JGM & WTGF, midevil royalty, mutual inconviences to mutual pining to lovers fic with *political intrigue*.

It keeps on surprising me! The chapter I need to write right now (the fic'll completed when I start posting) is 90% off the original outline. And there is so, so much rep i didn't really plan to add and then it showed up! And the research is kind of stressful but I have people sensitivity reading (if you're seeing this 😘 you're the best) and I just really, really want to do good by the people I'm portraying. (I have cried over this before and I will again. It's fine.)

I'm trying super hard to weave in themes of intersectionality and friendships being as important as romantic partnerships. (MARTIN. AND. MELANIE. AS. SIBLING. FIGURES.) And is it really my writing without miscommunication and healthy communication in equal, very heavy doses?

There are also some OCs thrown in the mix to fill in the necessary gaps for hereditary royalty and i...gosh I hope people like them. I promise they won't overshadow the main cast, though! (Like Compass Jane, if that means anything to you)

And last thing I'll say for now: I am having WAAAAAAAY too much fun putting characters in positions they can thrive in (yk what they said about tragedy being the protagonist in the wrong story? That but flip it.) So

1. Martin's the most powerful person in the room. Any room.

2. Jon gets socially kneed in the balls cause he kinda deserves it (he's fine)

3. Gerry gets to burn books (it works out in universe.....;D) and be a badass

4. Georgie ...*sighs wistfully* she.... I'm not abandoning her cannon thing for independence, that's important. That's all I'll say for now.

5. I can barely talk about Melanie without spoilers oh BOY. She has a sword and really heccing knows how to use it, and she's basically an e-girl.

6. Minimizing the ""cop"" (in quotes for no-cops-at-au-only-knights reasons) characters and maximizing the muslim Arabic characters is a surprisingly easy thing to do!

I'm gonna do this one for theraline because there are some repeats!

How would they describe themselves?

Theraline thinks its a bit of a ghoulie and would like you to respect that. It's long since accepted its own monstrousness, and they would like to show it more, but propriety demands you not scare small children when there's the option to avoid it. Bummer. However, they do consider themselves a kind and dependable person! Just not a pushover. Never a pushover.

What’s one childhood memory they’ve never forgotten?

Theraline is very used to pain. Growing up with an autoimmune disorder will do that to you. But some of her most precious memories are with her brother, who would hold her, or just sit nearby, and let her be in pain nearby him. Not demanding anything more.

What’s the typical first impression after meeting this person?

0h this ask came to me at a peak imposter syndrome moment Jesus fuck. UHHHH I CAN DO THIS. TOTALLY. UH.

1. Funny? I think most of the gags i write land really well and they make me laugh on rereads. I have way too much fun restructuring diagloyge to allow a pun to be made.

2. Definitely heart-wrenching. I think I'm good at soft shit and emotionally rending characters limb from limb yk?

(I got excited and this jumps around a lot)

OHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHOHO SO!!!!!

Its a sci-fi fantasy world in a solar system of five planets and two stars. The premise is that the party need to go around collecting artifacts to bring their celestial patrons back to full power so they can get paid. I have to keep it pretty structured cause of reasons i won't get into but I think the players appreciate the balance of clear goal and freedom to explore.

I'm so excited about this coming session cause everybody leveled up and I'm putting together my first ever battlemap for the first miniboss; she's an archivist who the party needs to convince to give to give them info on the artefacts. I have all her shit set up & even altered the combat system slightly so that information is a big part of the encounter and talking requires an action (thematically appropriate!) I MIGHT even force players to use their communication only in character as a limited resource. But I'll think about it.

I'm also really excited about the world. Party said zero child harm. I said okay! The seven year old queen is insanely powerful. Problem solved. Her mother is...well I'm leaving her open for BBEG reasons but she's A Lot.

The coronation is also next session so I've gotta prep some magic items my rouge might wanna steal in the crowd. I've written some stuff for the event that is in essence "ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE INSAAAAANELY WEALTHY"

I have a feeling that this session's event may span two sessions, which is fine, but I'm excited for the next bit. I think I'm going to send them to the desert planet next. I've got worldbuilding to do. Like, imagine the kind of creatures who might lurk in dried up ocean beds, scrambling up the sides of continental cliffs to get to the villages sit above in safety or quietly waiting for someone with too much courage to climb down. It'd be great if they stumbled upon a political mess to find out the monarchy is not great. Ehehehe ideas...

But YEAH! That's a lot of it (not all cause holy fuck) but we've been having so much fun. Ended up with three bards in the party which is hilarious and they get up to so many shenanigans. Its the kind of role-play forward game I love.

The players got into a predicament that I knew they were going to solve some batshit way so I didn't even take notes for what would happen next. The three bards dressed as palace maids approached the eight guards stationed outside the dungeons to rescue their party members (who were in there for drinking smooth brain juice, why the FUCK would you attack the first maid you see????) And, knowing that they reeked of food from working in the kitchen, rolled ridiculously on charisma to convince the gaurds they were there to have the prisoners taste if the food was poisonous (point of inspiration for that), then used a steel string to pick an easier lock and access the storage room with the rouges lockpicking tools to finally open the cell. I didn't even give them anything I was all but on mute.

Other things that happened that session:

The dragonborn rolled above 20 on charisma to roar and ended up harmonizing with himself

On bard approaches the head guard for a handshake and takes one "ouch my hand" damage

After giving his party members sonic damage from rolling super high on roaring as loud as possible right next to her, the dragonborn "roars politely"

CPS = Carrots per second

Bard rolls a 2 on mopping the floor and creates a domino effect which sends a chef flying into the soup. Frames a poor little kobold for his crimes.
