Aaah! I got another pic done of my halfling paladin, Karrigan Goodbarrel! This time in her new gear, with best girl Calla the brixashulty! I’m so happy with how they both came out! Karri looks so goooood ;A;

A wonderful new(ish) commission of my baby girl, Ember. This was done by the amazingly sweet and talented @maxxdick ♥ I’m sorry it took so long for me to get this posted - this is truly amazing and I am so happy with how he captured her. She looks badass, her tattoos are gorgeous, her muscles are on point, and the details of her axe are absolutely ridiculous. Thank you SO much Maxx!

Omg where from I desire

Deviant Desserts! It’s a one-woman chocolate company that makes all sorts of anatomically correct candies- hearts, teeth, skulls, tongues, severed ears, things i’m not allowed to post on Tumblr- as well as Very Fancy Cakes in horrible, horrible shapes.

In this life where we spend most of our waking hours drudging through what must be done and grousing to each other about joint pain, our daily fun spot is dinnertime, and our favourite way of spending it is separately, dining at our monitors back-to-back, as we...drudge through dailies and grouse to each other about shitty drops. Well, we haven't MMO’d since my computer developed a problemTM sometime back, which was okay for a bit after we got bitterly disillusioned by Wildstar's changes (then demise but uh), but the itch has been building back over the previous year and increasingly hard to ignore. Instead of looking into getting my comp fixed and maybe shelling out for FFXIV subs like normal people, we decided to play our old City of Heroes characters with the mini TTRPG system we've been slowly polishing over the last few years like the penniless people still crying over CoH that we are. We primarily play our TTRPGs through GoogDocs so...that...counts as an MMORPG right...

This mini TTRPG system we’ve been working on: fundamentally we’re just really, really lazy people, who really, really love RP, so instead of sticking with any of the many TTRPG systems we’ve dabbled in to varying degrees of dissatisfaction, we read a ton of shit and wrote up a double-sided folded sheet’s worth of rules to easily set up and play (and simultaneously DM because there’re only two of us, but that’s optional) with because we’re really lazy people. The last time we trialed this was disastrous, because we got so obsessed with our cyberpulp campaign that time ceased to hold meaning, such that at 50k words we lost our nerves and bailed right before the final act, fearing we would never emerge. Good times. >_> Since our cyberpulp protagonists were just normal squishies (who in fact got into only one (1) fight in 50k words, where Maxx got tased five (5) times), this time round we decided to try a superhero-verse, figuring that dealing with superpowers would help finetune our modifiers and battle rules. It has proven immensely elucidatory so far - it’s been swell!

Anyway, all of that was just a long preamble to contextualise how our old CoH mains accidentally *killed a little old lady in their first TTRPG appearance (GM narration mostly @maxxdick and his diabolical talent for Unfortunate EventsTM through rolls at short notice) - now as illustrated here...! <_>:

ACT 1 SCENE 1

Featuring the male-presenting nipples, the angry alicorn pony, and the kinkshamed cake that Tumblr’s new content bot found far too offensive.

If you’re understandably moving off the blue hellsite and would like to keep track of me on your stomping grounds, I’m on:

DeviantArt: maxxdick

Instagram: maxxdick (currently only has WIP images, but I may start posting completed work)

Twitter: maxxdicking (empty right now but I will use it at some point)

FurAffinity: maxxdick (empty right now but I’ll bring it up to speed sometime)

Since I don’t post explicit work, and because I’ve found so many lovely people on Tumblr, I will be here until there is an appropriate long-form social media platform to shove off to. o/

Tagged by @maxxdick​, who I haven’t talked to in far too long.

Rules: Tag nine people you want to get to know better that I think would not mind a meme of which I have no idea whether you’ve done @lizardbeans​ @sproutyhead​ @javertsconfusedboner​ @lapillus-the-gargoyle-gecko​ @justnoodlefishthings​ @followthebluebell​ @slightlysociablehermit​ @whatshouldisayimshy​ @wheremyscalesslither​ (also @jundoe did he make you do this yet if not you should do it.) and anybody else who wants to, of course!

Relationship status: Wedded to my career. We’re quite happy. This is us:

Lipstick or Chapstick: Both, actually. The lipsticks I like are rather drying (curse you, mattes!).

Last Song I Listened To: “The Man Who Sold the World” (David Bowie). Specifically the 1979 SNL video version with Klaus Nomi. I’d just gotten done explaining who Klaus Nomi was- longish story, a friend had shared a thing with a picture of the Marquis de Sade and I said that he kinda looked like Klaus Nomi’s long-lost grandpa and then it turned out that said friend had no idea who Klaus Nomi was, so I had to share the Lightning Strikes video and then that reminded me of the Man Who Sold The World tuxedo thing and so of course I had to go listen to that, I’ll never not listen to David Bowie.

Last Movie I Watched: Pacific Rim- I like to watch that with Juju. It’s so funny, she looks up every time they say the word “kaiju,” which is very, very frequent.

Top 3 Characters: Captain Janeway (Star Trek: Voyager), Death (Sandman), Sam Vimes (Discworld)

Top Three Ships:  This is actually the hardest question here. I have a lot of crack ships, each one more hilarious and improbable than the next, but like, fictional relationships I’m actually invested in and enjoy experiencing are more frequently than not super strong friendships because I am an absolute sucker for created families- people adopting sibling roles, parent roles, coming to see this stranger they’ve been thrown together with as somebody they really care about. So these are my top three relationships- not just romantic relationships.

If I had to think about the fictional relationship that means the most to me, it’s the relationship between Kathryn Janeway and her crew from Star Trek: Voyager- specifically her friendship with Tuvok. Spoilers for a 20+ year old TV show: in the last episode, she unmakes reality to save her best friend’s mind. (And for many other reasons both personal and tactical, but Tuvok’s dementia is one of the most compelling reasons and the one that’s explored most in the show.) It’s quickly followed by the relationship between Ben Sisko and Jadzia Dax on DS9- that kind of loving, playful friendship that’s closer to siblinghood than anything else is something that I really enjoy watching.
