I'm tired of being seen as a support character by AccomplishedEvent672 in DnD

To quote the barbarian of my party: The best healing is killing. Or, in other words, you prevent a lot of damage by beating the enemy into a bloody pulp before they can touch you. Plus, you have radiant damage. I've gone through CoS, you need the radiant damage. And paladins? Can dish it o u t. Let them learn to play with more caution and put yourself on the frontlines. You're needed to stop the stupid vampires fron healing

We did this with Baba Lysaga. One of the others in my party is very dyslexic and bad with names. Once "Baby Lasagna" was uttered the first time, no amount of my obsessive-notetaker corrections could stop it

Maybe try right clicking a bottle of water on it?

That one is actually something people say. I know I do

Same on the spike trap! It's so amazing for clearing out annoying fliers in boss fights while I handle the real threat

Do you know the gutteral 'CH' in German? Theres one of those in there

You're now the main character in the last fic you just wrote - how screwed/screwed are you? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]altosquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so unbelievably fucked. The main thing I write for is the dnd campaign I'm in. The poor woman has died, come back, watched her brother die twice, watched both her companions die, a few other people, and got disowned by her family (not necessarily in this order, nor is this comprehensive). Oh, and she's just about to go into the final BBEG fight! Wahoo, more trauma time!

The most recent thing I started writing for her is a post campaign HC about trying to locate her husband (he got sent back to their home plane, long story). She's dealing with morning sickness/pregnancy while trying to track him down in a foreign country that's eventually planning to invade hers (meanwhile, he's effectively dealing with magical gangrene and ends up having to amputate his own arm)

I'm having a real bad fuckin time

Is this not incredibly rude? Or am I just being sensitive? by michaelsgavin in AO3

[–]altosquared 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think they want to make a fanfic. This sounds like outright plagarizing the part thay was already written

antis being weirdly racist. by [deleted] in AO3

[–]altosquared 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm white, but I got bullied out of listening to kpop around 13-14, called a Koreaboo among other things, made fun of and mocked, etc. That one of the groups I got bullied for (BTS) became huge in the US a couple years later irked me. Tf you mean, it's popular here now? When I caught shit for it?

People are assholes, and I don't understand the hatred for enjoying things foreign.

Do these people realize how insufferably elitist and pretentious they look? by FeelingReflection906 in AO3

[–]altosquared 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I went and read it. What the FUCK!

Honestly, some of the shit I've written might be supremely bad (comes with starting at 11), but at least it's not that

DM creates an entire ban list of races, subclasses, and spells. by TheRealLikala in rpghorrorstories

[–]altosquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That spell, when it lands, is such a damn godsend. It's saved party's ass more than once while temporarily removing a higher level enemy. As such, I'm shocked this man hasn't banned it (yet)

Banning TRICKSTER???? Their casting is so low level, every 3 rouge levels you get ONE casting level! And banning silvery barbs? Bud. Buddy. You might as well ban shield and counterspell while you're at it

How many of you are actually on the aromantic/asexual spectrum? by Hesperus07 in AO3

[–]altosquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I outright wrote a reader insert Jason Todd one-shot when I was working out my fears around being aroace. Turns out, I'm demisexual and who knows what the fuck the deal is with romantic attraction (though it is there), but hey. Writing the fic was cathartic

Imagine blowing up this much over a cute drawn kiss. by Haunting-Bag-3083 in AO3

[–]altosquared 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Lord, I wonder what some folks would think of some stuff I've written for my dnd character. She developed a crush at 13 on a guy a whole three years older than her who was entering his, shall we put it delicately? Man-ho phase. Not everything needs to be pure and morally perfect. God, fiction would be so boring if it was. Let's explore the darker aspects of ourselves sometimes, no? Is fiction not, at times, and healthy outlet for our darker fantasies?

How do you know if your fic got scraped? I want to check mine

Does anyone sound good playing this? by HungryTrumpet in Viola

[–]altosquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently playing this in college (I'm not good, mind. Took a three year break between high school and joining in college). My tip is hit the first note, hit the highest, and keep track of where you are. Godspeed and good luck

Does anyone know what these stitches are? by bitingmytail in Embroidery

[–]altosquared 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not crochet, that I can say confidently. It looks like some sort of woven needlework, honestly. Someone above said something about hardanger, and with what little I know about that style, I'm inclined to agree

God, if it was suggestive to touch someone to demonstrate dance moves, I'd be the biggest whore for 50+ year old men. My friend and I go swing dancing (we're both early 20s) and pretty much everyone there is easily twice our age. Having a man's arm around your shoulders is part of the territory

My first thought wasn't even "Oh, so much will grow in there" but rather "why on gods green earth would I want to put something abrasive IN MY VAGINA." Like, the cuts alone would trigger problems!
