They both are! Our group just hasn't been meeting super consistently and I have learned that really destroys my drive to work on extra doodles for the campaign, but now things seem to be stable for scheduling and so I'm back on my bullshit.

Ah yes the personality hires, let me get their business cards-

The oldest cat in the house is named Hoshi (Hoho, Bubs). He's like 12 years old and loves my husband more than anyone else on this earth

We adopted him from a family friend of a friend after he ate two of their birds randomly (this is after living with them from kittenhood). The person also owned a big parrot they'd had longer than Hoho so the convicted murderer needed to be rehomed. Terribly nervous around new people, like 16 pounds, would never hurt a fly (except like he's a convicted killer). Always hungry, never been fed before.

Next is Millie (Milbus, Millieeee~), she's 11 but you'd NEVER know it. She's got cerebellum hypoplasia, you've probably seen the wobbly cats around on the internet. Acts like she's 5 months old. Perpetual kitten. Capable of great amounts of crime, has a terrible (but ever improving) vertical leap. We adopted her through the SPCA decidedly not near us - somehow I managed to convince Mr Row to drive like 2 hours to go see this poor cat who had been in care for like 3 months and had to go to a home with no stairs. She was in really bad shape when we first got her (really underweight, missing all her overcoat (SPCA had her listed as a grey cat, not a tabby), her ears were clipped by her old owners and were still scabbed over when we got her), but she's improved immensely in the like 3? 4? years we've had her. LOVES people. We've yet to overstimulate her with pats. Could be pat 24/7. Softest cat I've ever touched.

And our newest man, Sophia the Boy (Stinky, Binks) He's a little foster fail who the rescue just straight forgot about for a year and at that point we sort of were like 'ok he's ours'. He sleeps in the bed with Mr Row and I, like under the covers. He snuggles my Husband more than I can. Incredibly chirpy and merpy, still has extreme kitten energy, only like 2 years old. He's just recently been given a clean bill of health after struggling for... basically a year with what we were told was a bad prognosis. Thankfully he's fine, he's still stinky, and back to committing crime and sitting on any available lap.

I don’t mean to be rude, but if I might ask, does rebloging art count as reposts in the tumblr? I’m still not very familiar with things and want to avoid being an ass/disrespecting people’s wishes.

A lot of folks seem confused which I think speaks more to the ecosystem of social media as a whole - No worries! REBLOGGING/SHARING/RETWEETING(Don't be on twitter folks)/ whatever a sites IN BUILT sharing system is - is good! It keeps the original artists posts searchable and it always links back to their original work. You can find them and more of their work, and these are almost always appreciated by all artists (myself included here). It's a good system for showing off things you like and an accessible way for artists to be found by other people, which is neat! REPOSTING is its own separate thing, though confusingly it does become 'sharing' shorthand sometimes. It is when art is saved and REMOVED from the artists original context and reuploaded elsewhere by people who aren't them. I don't allow this, unless it's your own personal commissioned piece in which case... eat it, it's yours. Plenty of artists also have a blanket 'no reposts' policy as well. Reposting removes all artist links, all sources, all context (if any), and its sometimes used as an engagement farm to take credit or eyes away from artists. Also it feels really bad!! From personal experience having your art reuploaded by a large (sometimes even corporate - yuck) account with no link back feels like shit! Don't do this! Even with links back to the original artists... I don't like it, it feels icky to me. The reblog button here on tumblr is inherently cool and good because it really just shares the OG artists post. Never feel bad about using it, it's a wonderful thing!

Fear not!! The two of them are doing great actually, around the time of our campaigns 'act 1' finale so to speak things were just very up in the air and I was indulging in some angst. The worst bits of angsty 'what ifs' never even got posted anywhere you guys have no idea how sad things go.

However you are right in that I don't think I have a public facing summary for these two's story. I do extensive post-session recaps every week but nothing public, and to ease your fears we're going to be doing one now, starting from the top.

I'll likely break it into two parts for my own sanity so look out for that later this week!

Halthwyn is a mercenary at the end of her rope by the beginning of the campaign (a heavily modified Stormkings Thunder). Having run away from her family VERY young to try and protect them from the political issues which inevitably crop up in Watersdeep when you have a Tiefling kid in high social circles, she dropped her real name (Olliane Fairgrove) and joined a mercenary company called the Knights of the Grave. The group was renowned for getting shit done, and they accepted a kid as a way of training a new merc from the ground up, so to speak. She was sent south for several years to learn to fight and toughen up, having some of the worst years of her life, before returning to the sword coast basically unrecognizable as the giant melee machine we love.

By the time the years have passed and the campaign is beginning she is tired of working, tired of fighting, and tired of life, really. She's hunting for a job that's going to get her killed and decides this groups the one to do it.

It's a shame, then, that one of the party members is a cleric and Halthwyn will not get her wish.

(My server makes memes that are way better than anything I draw)

Glad you asked! It's because Maggie 'Mags' Chafton is having the worst fucking time possible <3

It is incredibly crazy what one failed space combat, an explosion to the face, and 210 years in cryo will do to a woman I think out of any PC I have every played Mags deserves a break the most. Will she get one? God no. Absolutely not.

We were just talking about this yesterday on the discord actually! Halthwyn is the "I have been forced into violence but my heart longs for the gentle life devoid of fighting" Type, she is actively trying to do good even if it puts her in harms way, super (to the point of self detriment) self-sacrificing, feels like she's incapable and undeserving of love. She is trying to do good for the sake of doing good and being a better person. There's a lot of atonement tied up in what she's up to these days for her time as a mercenary, there's a lot of self doubt. There's a deep desire to be loved despite everything, and to grow and change and become more like the child she was when she left home. Halthwyn craves a return to a normalcy she'd never really experienced in her adult life. She's never owned anything that wasn't able to fit in her pack or on a horse. She'd probably cry if told she got to own a chair for the first time. Maggie fucking Chafton on the other hand would sell your soul for one corn chip. She's shot at striking workers before, she got paid to shoot whoever corporate wanted her too, and she shot them, and she only loses sleep over the cosmic horrors (and powerful men) we *haven't* killed yet. Has said she'd kill a child, absolutely meant it. She likes working in a unit and runs her mouth way too much, but hates the prospect of being in charge of anyone. Responsibility scares her. Mags does have a soft spot for soldiers from all walks who get sort of washed up and tossed out, partially because she's one bad job away from it being her and realistically chains of command do not care about one soldier, and also because she does have a deep fear of ending up a crippled and abandoned marine forced to beg for subsistence. In the dystopic future of Mothership that gets a lot worse. Watching your credits tick down each day, forced to choose between starving to death to pay your air fees or failing to pay those and asphyxiate? Bad way to go. She'd probably take a second round with the carcs over it. Mags is entering into a pit fight on behalf of another PC for their personal stuff, and her thought process for the whole thing is "It'll be easy to kill a pit creature with knives for hands, we'd fought like before. But, I absolutely have to win because if I don't the others will never let me live it down and fuck if I'm gonna suffer that." Where as for the Champion of Winter Tourney and Halthwyn it was "I don't want the accolades I'm only here to help Nylef. I'd never enter otherwise, it makes me uncomfortable."

So they'd probably hate each other <3

But like, it's such a fun dynamic. I do not usually play people as quick to violence as Mags but it's been a really fun time stepping outside of my usual tropes to be a bit of an asshole. I love her dearly. Have some recent doodles here!! Thanks for the ask! <3

Begrudgingly! And likely only if asked
