dude why is ander’s lore so acutely stupid. what do you mean he’s a
that’s not how nieces work.
let’s say, hypothetically, ander is a firstborn, and his parents have him at 18. when he’s 30, his parents are 48. let’s be generous and say they stop having kids at 50, and their last kid is velrisa’s dad. he grows up. let’s be generous and say he’s 30 (we see him in middle age in the clip with vel’s sister) when he has velrisa’s sister, and 35 or 40 by the time velrisa is born.
that would make ander 85-90 when velrisa is born. he promises to protect velrisa as long as he lives when she is three. that makes him 88-93 at the time she starts living with him. she is 19 at the start of the campaign- and nobody has any mentioned birthdays so let’s consider all ages static. they all were born on january 1st.
19-3 is 16, so our estimate for ander’s age becomes 101 to 106 at the time of canon. instead, he’s
and like. i get it. i do. bad storytelling? found in the bad storytelling place???? fork found in kitchen!!!! dick found in ass!!!!!! nobody is surprised!
but on like. a genuine level. i made the most liberal efforts possible to defend ander being
and it is just not making sense. like. he and vel’s dad are described as looking to be a similar age. he and vel’s dad have a close relationship soured by ander’s championship to the goddess. ander was crowned champion long before velrisa entered the picture and probably before her dad was even born. no fucking unborn baby is gonna have beef with one of their brothers finding spiritual fulfillment.
we can infer the rest of the family doesn’t have beef with it, as ander was close enough to the rest of his family to have context on velrisa’s life and curse. why the fuck is he
okay so turns out me obsessively drawing and thinking about br'aad for 2 days non-stop was not me just being "silly with it" but i am in fact on my period instead😔
scythebelts? in THIS FUCKING ECONOMY????? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUVE NEVER WATCHED THE FATED HOW HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED THE FATED. YOU JUST GODDAMN NAILED THEM. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WROTE FOR THEM IM PILLAGING YOU AND OCTO’S AO3 POSTS AFTER THIS
@parallasso go follow them the lola fic revival is cancelled read this RIGHT NOW this fic singlehandedly made me decide to finally workshop the second work in the “diplomat/dueler” au
this is so so good man i can’t praise it enough??? lmk if you want some good ways to consume the general fated storyline without super involving yrself with the main podcast. (although if you can get through the first few episodes the rest of it is a goddamn content goldmine and i could scream about it and the complexities of their bullshit for hours) (it is tinged by the presence of j*red and it will force you to remember that the jrwee gang is cis white guys but honestly watching them grow as people and as roleplayers is super rewarding i recommend it) (okay rant closed the work was beautiful bye)
been cooking this up all day. here’s another addition to the scythebelts fic pile + velrisa introspection (are you guys proud of me)
Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com
Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.
FATED SPOILERS:
random hot take: i think bra’axi, as much as we all love it, would not have made a good match until post canon. we can see bra’ad slowly getting more in touch with the others and himself, getting character arcs away from ob’nock’shai, joining the storyteller, becoming more comfortable as himself, developing morals and loyalty and generally evolving as a character. taxi, conversely, never gets that arc for himself.
(probably because his character development is tied to oriana and jared refuses to give female characters depth. cough misogyny cough.)
so i think we need to see the fated post-ungaroe, with new paths and levels and ideas and wants and development, and then bra’axi could work because it’s two people in a new world looking to better themselves and Be Gay Together
hey guys i survived the show i was running!!!!!! i’m baaaaaack!!!!!! and mentally illllllllll!!!!!! tag me in everything ever i love you all so much!!!

writing about dnd characters is just about writing an idealized version of yourself getting emotional closure and feeling secure in their place in life. that’s why it’s fantasy writing.
