FCG’s heroic sacrifice

“I am alive. I am alive for the first time. And I am alive, not because I was made by D or Dancer or even the Changebringer. I’m alive because they made me alive. And it’s the connections that I made with all of them. And it’s a feeling of joy. And I’m happy to do this, because they saved my life and I’ll save theirs.” - Fresh Cut Grass

Part 1/2

What if Rob doesn't feel comfortable role-playing romance? He's new at this table and maybe he's uncomfortable with it, or it's not his style. The cast only begins their romance because Marisha and Liam break the ice first. And Travis only got into this because his WIFE made him feel comfortable role-playing romance. It's sad, but maybe that's why both of them don't take a bigger step.

Tips to finishing creative writings

Have one main piece and several smaller ones The story you are most eager to write and has some form of a developed plot should be your main story, but don’t limit yourself to only that piece. That’s when you abandon it. Instead, tell yourself, “I have a good idea for another story. Let me write 500-1000 words of it.” This allows you to put what’s in your mind on paper. You can also get a feel for it and see if it is really something you think you could write an entire story for. When you finish your main story, come back to it and make that your new main if you still want to write it.

Use your desire to write another story to finish the one you’re working on Continuing with the point from above, if you are still extremely excited about your small work, use that enthusiasm to fuel your current story. Tell yourself, “I need to finish X story before I can write Y story.” You will write so much more and so much faster than you ever planned. You can also be proud that you finished something you originally planned to abandon.

Love your characters This may seem obvious, but writing is hard if you don’t even know or like your characters. Draw your characters together. Give them funky clothes or send them abroad. Even make an AU of your story in your head. If you can’t draw, find an avatar creator and give your characters a tangible image. The more you love your characters and give them personalities, the more eager you will be to write about those characters.

Take a break Be kind to yourself. You’re only human. If life is stressful and writing is more of a chore than it is fun, take a break. When you have more free time and are excited to write again, sit down, grab a pen, and find yourself happily immersed in a world you haven’t visited in a while. Good luck with your stories and be kind to yourself <3

After hearing it mentioned on the most recent Between The Sheets episode, here is a throwback to the Gather Your Party episode where Marisha does her take on a Desdemona monologue from Othello!

Reposting what Caleb learned in the library about the Kryn back in Ep. 31 for posterity’s sake! Copy and pasted from the episode transcript!

“Much of the recent studies into current drow society across Exandria speak of growing paranoia and madness that’s seeping in with the believed influence of Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion. Whether it be by proximity of remnants of his power deep beneath the surface that have grown close to these societies, but there is whispers and research that say that some of these dark elf societies are being driven slowly mad by this influence. Strangely, what studies you’ve been able to find that talk about penetrating the Kryn Dynasty’s intense boundaries…what little is known of the Kryn Dynasty, there is little in iconography under Lolth or Tharizdun. And what remains of that is ancient and crumbling and largely ignored by the society.”

“However, it does speak of the dynasty worshiping something other, something that is new and dangerous as far as the Cobalt Soul is concerned, with what little research they have. They refer to it as “The Luxon” and seek to bring all under its burning banner. They’ve rallied to the surface of Ghor Dranas, casting the skies in eternal midnight that spreads with their dominion. They’ve begun taking the ravenous hordes of beast-men and terrors of the Xhorhasian wastes, and indoctrinate them under this new false god.”

So it seems to me from what we learned tonight, that the Tal’Dorei Drow were previously experiencing what the people in this city are only just now experiencing. For whatever reason, this corruption is only just now happening. Perhaps it is a natural progression. Or perhaps something is helping the Kryn resist this. Maybe the Luxon? Maybe Dunamis? Most likely both? The Luxon and Dunamis seemed to be completely tied together seeing as how its holy symbol is the dodecahedron itself. Or perhaps the Kryn, when they moved to the surface of Ghor Dranas, awoke something pertaining to the Chained Oblivion there. A reminder that Ghor Dranas is essentially the holy land of the Betrayer Gods, and it is where the barrier between the Material Plane and the Lower Planes (Like the flipping Abyss!) is thinnest. The Chained Oblivion doesn’t just live in the Abyss, it IS the Abyss. In the Tal’Dorei Campaign Setting states it is less like a god and more like another world, it dreams the infinite depths of the Abyss into reality along with all its demonic legions. If it is busting through the Divine Gate anywhere, it’s gonna be in or around Ghor Dranas. 

Also, are we ever gonna figure out the truth behind the Empire propaganda that the Kryn are stealing Empire children? We have seen absolutely nothing so far supporting the Empire’s claim on this. Mark my words, something fuckardly is going on here and I don’t think the Kryn are truly behind the kidnappings. Or if they are, it goes way, way deeper than just doing it for the war effort etc. Or it’s a small subsection of higher up assholes doing something dastardly. Almost like a fun narrative parallel with a certain bastard archmage we all know and love to hate. 

We got so much lore this episode and my brain is reeling!! I cannot flipping wait until next Thursday! I live for this nonsense!!
