omg thats a lot! ty!

1. What was the first race you ever played as?

elf! im elf loving trash.

2. What was the first class you ever played as?

ranger.... again the obvious choice for me. animal friends! bows n arrows!

3. Have you ever been dungeon master?

ya! 3 times. i dont think i was very good the first two. its like... much harder than u think it’s gonna be to keep so many plates spinning and still tell an interesting and immersive story and at least seem like you prepared for any inevitability. so i think i used to be a bit railroady. the third time i was more prepared for the players to do any sort of nonsense - which they did - so i think everyone had more fun!

9. What is the funniest thing anyone has ever said in a d&d session you’ve played in?

oh i answered this already but to elaborate on the first one (cause the second was more funny in the moment). mordecai is our hapless chaotic-something warlock played by fitz, and our campaign is abt solving crimes. theoretically.

so in the first instance we were in a suspect’s house and we had pissed him off and he was trying to make us leave but we wanted to see if he was hiding anything. mordecai was out of spell slots so started casting detect magic as a ritual, which takes 10 minutes - and our dm stipulated, reqiures u to sit in 1 spot and concentrate. so the ritual kept getting interrupted as the guy shooed us out of his home, and the rest of us tried in vain to distract the npc as mordecai sat in the staircase trying to surreptitiously do a 10-minute-long magical ritual. all of this was funnier in action than it sounds, but basically, at the end, we totally failed and just went fuck it and left. ....approx 10 minutes later, fitz randomly asked “what does eldritch sight mean?” 

...eldritch sight is a warlock feature which means u can cast detect magic at will. instantly. for free. we nearly fucking died. (and to add to this, a few sessions later we found out that this random npc was in fact magically hiding the final boss dungeon under his house)

14. What is the longest d&d campaign you have ever been part of?

im not sre if my first campaign from uni is the longest, or detectives! well detectives has been going for ages but we never fucking manage to meet up 

15. What is your favorite weapon?

greatsword! 2 dices. better chances. big sword. stab good 

20. Do you like to play in big or small groups?

That is indeed his name. This would be a horrible turn of events! Clearly I have no choice but to obey.

 Video Game Asks

1. First game you played obsessively?

- It really depends on how young I was tbh, the three I can remember playing ALL THE TIME as a child though were the Kelly Club game (I still have the disc, it lags a bit but actually STILL works on my current computer! Even though it’s almost 20 years old!), Barbie: Beach Vacation (several of the Barbie games actually, I also remember enjoying Barbie as Rapunzel, Barbie Pet Rescue, and Barbie Horseriding Adventures), and the first Pajama Sam game, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It’s Dark Outside (I can’t BELIEVE that game is 21 years old now, omg) which tbh I sometimes still play today - the Humungous Interactive games were really fun!

5. Ever use cheat codes?

- When I was younger? No, because I don’t think I really knew how then, I mostly used to use the internet for dress-up games and didn’t really realise stuff like that was something I could just Google (although, most of the games I played didn’t need cheat codes). Oh WAIT unless cheats for The Sims count?! Cause I used to play The Sims and The Sims 2 round at friends’ houses and they taught me the ‘klaupicus’ (I think that’s how you spelt it), ‘rosebud’, and ‘motherlode’ cheats. Still use Sims cheats today :P And if walkthroughs count, I do use those more than I’d perhaps care to admit :P

14. Favourite game music?

- Ooooh this is a tough one, I have lots of favourite music/soundtracks in games. Love the Nancy Drew game soundtracks, the ones for Telltale’s games are pretty good, the Heart’s Medicine (a time-management game series) games generally have really lovely soundtracks, the music in Stardew Valley is GORGEOUS, can’t forget Life is Strange - the licensed tracks are particularly well-chosen but the original score is also great - Oxenfree’s soundtrack is amazing… Oh, and gotta give a shout-out to the music in The Sims 3, that stuff is catchy (I’ve played so much TS3 that I recognised a piece of music from it when it was being used as “gameshow” music on TV in an episode of Elementary :P) I think that’s about it for my absolute favourites.

21. Game you didn’t like or understand as a kid but you do now?

- (I have no idea why) I think when I was a kid I didn’t used to understand why people liked Tomb Raider, but I do totally get the appeal now and I’ve even been playing the 2013 version of Tomb Raider myself!

23. Game you’ve logged the most hours into?

- Before Steam, got no idea. But going by my Steam records, currently The Sims 3 (I thought that might be the case, lol) with 131 hours played.

39. A sequel you would die for them to make?

- Three words: EMERALD. CITY. CONFIDENTIAL. It’s a point-and-click adventure game set in Oz, about 40 years or so after the original Wizard of Oz, it presents Oz in a very noir-esque style, and the main character is a private detective called Petra. SUCH a good game, probably one of my favourites of all time. Unfortunately it’s not possible apparently because I think they don’t have the rights to it anymore or something? I already asked the creator (Dave Gilbert) about it a couple of years ago on Twitter. He DID (I think) say though I think theoretically they could make a game that takes place in the same universe (Oz) since it’s public domain or something, they just couldn’t use any of the characters or places (I think) they used before :P (Which defeats the point a bit but tbh I’d be curious to see what it’d be like)

41. A genre you just can’t get into?

- Horror. (Exceptions for things like The Walking Dead game and maybe a couple of other things, if those count) It’s not a film or TV or book genre I like either, it’s just really not for me :P

56. Did you ever play Rollercoaster Tycoon and kill off your guests?

- Did I ever play it? Yes! Did I ever kill off the guests? No, mostly because I didn’t even realise that was a thing, I wasn’t much good at the actual game itself if I’m honest, I could barely figure out how to play it properly, let alone kill off characters :P

67. Do you have a happy gaming-related childhood memory you want to share?

- My sister used to watch me play all the time, any time she did that was pretty happy and fun and it’s sweet to remember. Also sometimes she’d unintentionally help heaps without meaning to. One time, I was playing Pajama Sam 4: Life is Rough When You Lose Your Stuff and there was this bit when I was trying to figure out how to get Sam across this river made of fizzy drink/soda. Now, I was playing this around Christmas, and my sister randomly came into the room with something in her hand and said something like “Look, it’s a nutcracker!” and boom, it was a *lightbulb moment* because a few places back in the game, there was this giant nutcracker, and one of the only things I had in my inventory was a giant peanut. I raced back to the nutcracker as quickly as I could, clicked on it with the peanut and used the hollow peanut on the soda river - and bingo, that was the answer! That was a fun moment. 

70. Very first game you ever beat?

- It was probably the first Pajama Sam game (as I said earlier, No Need to Hide When It’s Dark Outside), not exactly sure though.

Thanks Holly! :D

ah, thank you!!  I’m so glad you like all of it, it’s been a good project.  I’ve always liked bird but it just skyrocketed in the last year or two so of course I gotta draw them haha

Yeah, this all is pretty ridiculous. Looking at the tags they have on a lot of their villains, they just sort of throw every term they can at a character. :/ And, going from what little I know of LoK, I definitely wouldn't call P'Li a "femme fatale" either.

Hopefully you won’t have to see that ever again for any character you like/love/respect. I have them blocked too, so I don’t see how much they post, but to see your response kind of shocked me. I didn’t think they had that much time on their hands.
