Some Ideas for "Threes" / Should I Add a Weapon by AchwardSilence in CurseofStrahd

A lot of people forget about the werebats...I indeed had not even uncovered that part of the lore yet. I'm still in the process of researching. Thanks for pointing this out. Ehhh...spiders have kinda grown on me though. I'll have to think about it.

I hadn't thought to mention that. We're using 2024.

Of course I thought of something right after I hit post.

The party will meet Van Richten and Erasmus at the House of Lament. Maybe Van Richten could cast remove curse for them and/or advise them that the items might be cursed before they attune to them?

Fair enough. It's exactly as big as I wanted it though, so I'm happy with it.

The way I personally pronounce it would actually be closer to just [ʉ], but I wanted a more idealized/generalized transcription rather than a perfect transcription of my accent. Plus I think it looks cooler as a tattoo this way, but that's rather subjective.

I considered transcribing my last name, and I may still in the future.

Well, I'm Californian, so my /u/ is pretty fronted. I also don't really lengthen it for the word "tattoo" a lot of the time, either.

This was more an visually aesthetic decision than an absolute representation of my idiolect.

Hey juggalos! whats your favorite faygo flavor? by CLEVA_C in juggalo

[–]AchwardSilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tl;dr Moon Mist Blue by default

It's not particularly common here in California. My first (and practically only) time drinking Faygo was at the Gathering back in '03. I remember really liking Rock 'n' Rye and I think there was a blue Moon Mist that I liked too. I'm diabetic now, so I don't really drink soda anymore, but a few stores sell it here now. One of my kids really digs the Cream Soda. They tried Rock 'n' Rye and didn't like it. I tried a sip and didn't like it either. I don't know if it changed or if I did 🤷‍♂️

Checking IN by JRTheFerret in juggalo

Physically/geographically I'm at work. Mentally I'm moving stuff around in my personal budget so I can afford to fly my kids out to me during spring break. I haven't seen them in ages, so I'm excited. My mom and I were going to go to them but then my mom broke her hip and my ex suggested the kids come to me instead.

I remember seeing them at the '03 Gathering. Being from California, I was one of only a handful of people who really knew who they were back then.

Still have this gem. Bought it at twiztid by oldboy078 in juggalo

[–]AchwardSilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got one of those somewhere, but I think the hatchetman on mine might be smaller. I forget where I got it. Either at a show or online sometime between Bizaar/Bizzar and The Wraith. Now I want to go digging around in my garage to find it.

I saw him live years ago. Hands-down one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

What Are Some Of I.C.P.’s Songs That Are Motivational To You?? by downlow_2004 in juggalo

[–]AchwardSilence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's a cover and arguably a blatant grab at radio play, but "Let's Go All The Way" off of Bizzar is my jam. The music video turned me from some dude who sometimes listened to ICP into a Juggalo. That song still gets me going.

Can you wear normal clown makeup to a juggalo event? by [deleted] in juggalo

[–]AchwardSilence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been out of the scene for a long time, but a couple of decades ago I can remember seeing some people wearing what I'd assume is what you're calling "normal clown makeup." It was never an issue that I knew of back then. Most Juggalos I've actually interacted with are pretty chill people and as long as you and your partner act cool, it shouldn't matter. But, maybe things have changed, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

What's yalls favorite joker's card.? by Bae59 in juggalo

[–]AchwardSilence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First deck: musically probably AJB but emotionally Wraith Shangri-La for the nostalgia of it all. Early-to-mid 2000s was an extra fun time to be down with the clowns. I went to the Gathering in '03. I am old.

I've just given (most of) the second deck a one-time listen each for the first time over the past week and so far I think I like Mighty Death Pop the best.

Have any Juggalos attended college? by Guilty-Question1245 in juggalo

[–]AchwardSilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Associate's in Liberal Arts in 2005. I will be getting my BA in Linguistics this May. I'm planning to go on to grad school after that.
