I’m reaching out to anyone who is planning to attend D&D in a Castle in either 2022 or 2023.

We had booked in better times (pre-Delta/Omicron), but our circumstances have changed and we cannot attend. This was meant to be a once in a lifetime experience for us and has completely fallen apart, and we’re hoping to at least recoup some expenses; the only reason we could afford this was because I had money from being made redundant, so it’s not like this is something we could just go and do whenever.

We have USD$7,400 of store credit that we really need someone to purchase from us.

Please send me an Ask with your email address if interested.

Signal boosts appreciated, also suggestions of other places to share this besides here, Twitter, and Facebook.

A kind individual has helped us out with this and there is still USD$2,425 available if anyone is attending on their own/is better able to commit to the lower amount. Please send me an Ask with your email address if interested. We deeply appreciate all the signal boosting.

[image description: An ink drawing in a Mesoamerican style –  a brightly colored serpent (all greens, reds, and yellows) is seen in profile as it consumes a grey-suited business person (with bare feet) face first, the bright sphere of the sun glowing behind them. Text reads, “39, QUETZACOAXIAL, the small god of CABLE SNARL”]

He has broken better people than you.  He will break better still in days to come.  Where true chaos reigns, he is there.  Where entropy stands dominion over all, he is unquestioned and unchallenged.  Where a knot needs to be rendered entirely undefeatable, he is ready to rise to the level of his own divinity.

He came into being in the hands of hunters, in nets that refused to open and fishing lines that would not disengage.  He leaves the knitters and seamstresses and weavers of cloth alone; they belong to another divinity to torment.  His are the cables whose purpose is not becoming a part of something greater, but remaining as themselves, against all else.  All save for him.

He has been haunting humanity for centuries, but his true ascension was born with the age of electricity, when everything became cables.  Since then, his power has only grown, fed by every half-loop and swear word.

Amusingly enough, both toddlers and kittens—any baby animal with access to the inside, really—falls under his domain, and it is by his grace that as few of them are electrocuted every year as are.  He understands innocent chaos better than any, and he will not harm them if he has any choice in the matter.  For that, truly, is his secret:

For all that he raises blood pressures and stubs toes across the world, he is not malicious.  He is a god of mischief, not evil, not even trickery, for everyone knows what he’s going to do.  He has no surprises, and he doesn’t want any.

He just wants to braid every charger you own into an impenetrable bezoar of screaming and unhappiness.  Is that really so much for a small god to ask?

Watching Failed Save today reminded me that I do not really comprehend the appeal of roasting someone, I don’t think it would be fun aimed at me, but also Vince absolutely did look like Gumby at Pride and Xander was right to say it.

So I’m leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this

Just like… a whole ass hawk. Dude’s gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it’s just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn’t budge. And there’s only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.

So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn’t moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I’ll talk to them, so I’m just like, “Hey, man. I don’t know you. You don’t know me. This feels really threatening. I’m just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You’re a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I’d appreciate if you didn’t, ok?”

It didn’t move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I’m as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn’t going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead

Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just… there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.

This is so funny because that’s a freshly-fledged juvenile red tailed hawk.

It didn’t leave simply because it didn’t really know the giant gorilla thing walking towards it was a threat. You were menaced by what amounts to a teenager who just passed their driving test just chilling under a tree.

This thing weighs all of 1 pound and barely knows it’s a bird.

the bird got a nat20 on intimidation from a die it knocked off the desk

For disability pride month (and the rest of the year) here’s a shout out to

- people who have to take “scary” meds like antipsychotics, tranquilizers, schizo meds, lithium, opioids, and steroids because they’re the only things that work

-people taking medicinal drugs that may be illegal in some areas

-people who have to get dangerous procedures and treatments

-people who will literally die without their meds and can’t stop taking them

- people whose meds cause undesirable side effects

-people whose meds damage their bodies, but improve general quality of life enough that it’s worth it

-people who get told to get off their meds constantly by people other than their doctors (or their doctors didn’t want to put them on the med bc they’re “too young”)

-people who can’t take medicine other than ibuprofen or Tylenol due to allergies, interactions, etc.

-people who are addicted to their medicine and don’t want to stop taking it

-people who are addicted and want to stop taking their meds

-people still suffering from unforeseen side effects that still affect them even though they got off the meds

Our relationships with our medicines/treatments are complicated and no one body is ever exactly the same. Please be respectful of people’s choices and feelings about their meds.

Thank you!!!

We as a fandom talk a lot about the Prime Deities lately, and for all the god shop talk, we haven’t given a whole lot of attention to the Betrayer Gods. So, here’s a poll for funsies. Remember, that this is about these gods as depicted in Exandrian lore specifically.

Which is your favorite Betrayer God?

Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Hells

Bane, the Strife Emperor

Gruumsh, the Ruiner

Lolth, the Spider Queen

Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion

Tiamat, the Scaled Tyrant

Torog, the Crawling King

Vecna, the Whispered One

Zehir, the Cloaked Serpent

Talking meaning chatting online, interacting irl, or even exchanging one or two messages. I just want to see how much tumblr users actually talk to each other!

Threads is the Hot New Garbagedump by Certified Scum Of The Earth and Facebook/Meta owner Zuckerburg. It is like if twitter was even worse.

There is ONLY a For You page, meaning you can never just see the posts from your followed accounts who, yknow, you followed for the purpose of seeing their posts.You can’t see those. you have to see the algorithm’s posts ONLY.
You also require an instagram to get full access to all the features like Posting Images. You need a separate social media account to properly access this new social media. And once you’ve done so, the only way to delete your Threads account, is to delete you instagram account. The Whole Thing. For Some Fucking Reason.
Not to mention, obviously since it’s zuckerburg, the thing syphons your personal information like crazy, worse still than twitter.

Like ALL your data. as much as it can get. (Love that it says “Other Data” btw. Nice subtle way of saying “whatever else we want”)
ALSO wouldn’t you know it? It’s fucking banned in the EU because it violates a bunch of fucking privacy laws!! So it’s DEFINITELY not safe to use!

It is as predatory and exploitative as can be, created by someone that we collectively agreed Sucks Shit and Has No Empathy For Human Life and Individuality, and nobody should be touching it with a ten foot pole let alone sign up for it. Not even to test the waters or because it’s where everyone is heading, or to see how bad it is for yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re joining to get an account ready in case the platform ends up the new big thing. You’re feeding the statistics.
Even if you’re not using that account, Zuckerburg can show the number of signups to shareholders and investors to prove to them that it’s viable. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon in case it succeeds, inform people why they shouldn’t join, to reduce its chance of success! It’s like strikes and protests; The more of us get the word out, the more effective it’ll be!
