I CREATED YOU. YOU CREATED ME.

none of my friends have listened to the magnus archives and none of them wanna listen to the magnus protocol, so please someone talk to me im suffering in my head alone.

ah the classic story. allied too close to the sun and started developing sapphic feelings.

i am so overcome by the way knives is in love with an idea of his brother. an image. he is so infatuated with the idea of having a twin that he will literally destroy everything that makes vash vash, hollow him out until he's empty, just so he can have him by his side. just so they can be together. how devastating to love someone so much that you don't love them at all. how hideous it is to be loved that way, to be loved as an idol, and not a being.

So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?

Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:

With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.

With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:

Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)

Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion

Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent

And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!

It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.

This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.

These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.

So, what can we do?

Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing. 

Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it. 

And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall

the suffering never ends

There are so many moments in Heartstopper that are relatable, but nothing has hit me in the gut more than the moment where everyone is picking their roommates for the Paris trip and Imogen just stands there as a still point in the chaos, looking around even though she knows she's not going to spot anyone who wants her

I made this a couple of months ago but. hack your 3ds. do it right now.

possibly controversial opinion: i think “natural” makeup is, over time, more damaging than bold, obvious makeup

Till visibly softened when Ivan nuzzled him. I am losing my mind
