ask me about my dnd guys or fated the musical

btw roleplaying various characters with your friends is the singular most healing thing in the world. playing with toys for adults

But watch out

the problem with trying to get into a genre is that if you dont have any friends who know about the genre you basically have to start with "everything that alleges itself to be part of the genre" (waaaay too many things for a human to intake) and work your way through "everything randos online are saying is the best of the genre" (at least 65% dogshit by volume) until you reach "cool awesome works of the genre". so getting into a new genre is kind of like walking 5 miles across hot coals. but you still have to do it or youre asking when he steals the bread forever

And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles

If you draw a character who's textually in their 50s as a twentysomething with one (1) grey streak in their hair, I'm not actually going to do anything about it, but I will silently judge you with furious intensity.

Fascinated by the number of people in the notes who seem to think this post is complaining about inaccuracies regarding the average age at which people's hair starts going grey and completely ignoring the "drawing a character in their 50s like a twenty-year-old" part.

Discussion about Types of Guy in tabletop roleplaying groups is always "the Rules Lawyer", "the Method Actor" and never "Guy Who Always Plays A Human And Invents New Setting-Specific Slurs For Their Character To Call A Specific Type Of Nonhuman Characters" even though see the last one a lot more.

At some point you've gotta sit a player down like "okay, in our fantasy game you played a guy who hates elves and made up new slurs for elves; in our transhuman cyberpunk game you played a guy who hates robots and made up new slurs for robots; I think your actual goal here is just to be a guy who says slurs".

people take "drug seeking is a nonsense framework" to mean that like, no one ever lies to get drugs in medical contexts which is just categorically untrue but the question they don't bother to ask themselves is "why do people feel the need to lie to get drugs?" which leads into the further question of "why would someone abuse stimulants/opioids/etc" which is like. i feel like kinda the major question one should ask no. why do people do drugs. what reasons might someone have to lie. why do we exist in a system in which people feel the only way to make decisions with their own body is to lie to medical professionals.

drug seeking is a nonsense framework not because people don't ever lie to get drugs for recreational use or whatever but because people shouldn't have to go through medical hoops to get drugs period. regardless of if for recreational use or otherwise.
