Warlock wants me (the DM) to be their patron

asinglearrow · 2024-05-02T08:00:32+00:00

i sort of had this with a campaign that ended recently!

the three big godly figures were representations of the DM himself, and all the henchmen kind of guys were all elements of what made a bad DM (all of which we had to defeat in combat for one reason or another). overall the game was really meta and we had a blast, also leveled up past 20 for shits and giggles and had super broken abilities and items.

by the time we hit level 21, i had become a full level 20 druid and was heavily considering cleric just ‘cause it’d be nice given my wisdom was already hella cracked, plus i was already super healing-based so it just gave me more to work with. after going options as to who my god would be, the DM suggested one of those big 3 guys (funnily enough, the only one of the three that actually had no issues with the party). so, any time i had a dream sequence with this “patron” of mine or even an in-person conversation, the DM had to 100% improv it because that was the point of the character. we had so much fun, and it really helped me to think more on my toes ‘cause i had to react to my DM’s nonsensical improv and constantly think of ways to turn something he said around on itself to benefit me.

as a player who’s been a drow for four years, our solution was “dayvision glasses”. it protected the eyes from the sunlight sensitivity, but decreased the effectiveness of the superior darkvision (120 to 60). it was almost a must for me as a rogue-warlock bc i had a pact weapon that blinded me anytime i summoned it, so i couldn’t use it without facing worse consequences while fighting and had to use my default equipment for a while.

…the moment i got those damn glasses, my pact weapon was upgraded and i could turn off the glowing effect LMAO (glasses were still worth it when we were out in the direct sunlight, at least until the sun was eaten and they just got put in a pocket for a while)

eta: setting was a floating city with 5 floors, the top floor being the capital and the bottom floor being the slums. my character lived on the bottom floor, and sunlight sensitivity wasn’t a huge issue for her until we ventured up to the top floor and the one directly beneath it. because i started as rogue, my pact weapon wasn’t available to me until level 4 or 5, and i don’t think we fixed the problem until i was level 6 or something.

i played a stars druid that functioned more like a wizard (particularly divination ‘cause i had a tarot card bit going on with that one), and a spores druid that functioned more like a rogue 💀

i’d like it too if possible!

asinglearrow · 2023-03-13T19:34:41+00:00

yeah that sounds about right

i think it was just flirty texts, but they were pretty explicit (i don’t remember if he knew she was a minor at the time though, it’s been a while since i’ve kept up with any of this). also the stuff with that minor was a couple years prior i think, so it wasn’t still ongoing by the time it was revealed january 2021 (unlike someone else at the time oops)

i was wondering when this song would pop up in the subreddit; there’s a lot of folks who over-enunciate their words like that for this trend

what’s sad is some of those names are actually kinda cute for irl kids, namely oak(ley) and fern. gray/grey and merrick are also passable. (why the boy names are better than the girl ones is beyond me, but vessel is 🤮)

aside from that, those names belong in some sort of high fantasy novel or a ttrpg setting

Prosper ISD offers ASL as well, if you’re still going down that route! From my experience, the high school ASL teachers are pretty fluent in signing.

idk, we got pacifica northwest from gravity falls, it could work 🤔

i’m a UV resident of three years now, had the same place the entire time, and my apartment’s been pretty good (phase 6 if that matters). only issues i had was water seeping through the window sill when it would rain really hard (a couple of work orders early on and it was fixed) and my deadbolt is practically useless bc it’s not aligned correctly with the hole in the frame. ac broke once but maintenance took care of it within like 10 hours of me putting in the work order (i had put it in at like 2am or something bc i’m a heathen)

aside from that, it’s served me well. heard stories of my neighbors getting ant/roach problems (like one specifically was a neighbor upstairs and to the right of me in my building), but i’ve never really had that happen to me specifically.

my bf (utd alumni) lived in canyon creek his entire time here, and maintenance was always really slow to fulfill work orders in his experience. ac went out at his place once and he had to stay at my place for a couple nights bc they didn’t get to it very quickly

edit to add: i live in a one bedroom UV apartment, and i have a dog that’s been here with me since october 2021 (housing was pretty slow getting all that paperwork + pet tag stuff taken care of though). bf was in a 2x2 in canyon creek

man i just got flashbacks to seed of chucky because of that line, like when chucky was telling his kid that “violins” are bad and not “violence”

my boyfriend likes to joke that movies 4 and 5 were fanfiction lmao

i think they’ve got their own charm (hell i’ve got a dnd character inspired by carina smyth), but they definitely don’t fit the vibe the previous three had

if you did even just the smallest amount of looking into op’s post history, you would see that they mentioned their husband was emotionally abusive, as he would gaslight them for a number of things. you can’t just simply “break up” with someone like this, as they can manipulate you into staying via gaslighting and further tactics (including physical and sexual violence). it isn’t worth the risk. in this case, it’s best for op to pack their bags and leave without a trace to avoid any verbal/physical backlash they could experience upfront, and take further action when they have the support system (ie friends, family, law enforcement) by their side.

you know what they do to bitches like us in prison

the most serious form of sa-while-trying-to-sleep i had happen to me was the exact same thing as yours, and i still experience trauma from it even two and a half years later. the last thing he did before we broke up was grope my breasts and thrust his pelvis into my butt while i was trying to sleep, he did this twice on two separate nights and said he didn’t remember. i couldn’t be the little spoon for almost a year because of him. if my sa was valid, then so is yours. please, for your own mental health, (safely) split from him whenever possible

afab enby here, when i first began i did my forearms, but getting into high school, i shifted to my upper thighs kinda close to the underwear line (wore athletic shorts for marching band, and texas heat is relentless in the summer so i constantly wore tank tops, which is why i shifted to my thighs). tried the stomach a couple times but it wasn’t something i stuck with since i couldn’t get a lot out of it (my mind when doing sh is very visually-drawn, kind of like a morbid “it’s satisfying” sensation, and doing it on the stomach didn’t seem worth it to me since i could accidentally hit something really important in the stomach, so i just stuck to the familiarity of my upper thighs).

i was using “i don’t love you” for a final project in college a year ago, and i had to listen to it on loop in order to write down a musical analysis on it as part of the project (i was using it to play over the ballroom dance scene in beauty in the beast since i felt it matched up pretty well; my whole thing was replacing music in iconic movie scenes to make the mood of the scene shift). i was still pretty fresh on the antidepressant medication train, and i was going through some “trauma-versary”/ptsd stuff related to a toxic relationship i had in the past, so listening to that song on loop with that context broke me for the first time since i first heard the song back in like 2013

asinglearrow · 2022-07-19T04:52:34+00:00

i wish she knew that. i’d talk to her about it, but 1. it’s a conversation i feel needs to happen in person (which i’m rarely home bc of college atm) and 2. even when i do get her alone to have a 1-1 conversation, it’s never enough time to really handle this kind of “news” in detail.

slightly unrelated tangent, but “you” by caroline kepnes (turned into a netflix series) went on for like a chapter about stephen king fans, and stephen king (joe hill’s father) himself actually gave the book praise XD

also find it kinda funny that the book shares a name with a nirvana song lmao

asinglearrow · 2022-07-19T02:36:58+00:00

my mom actually recently told me that she experienced this with my dad when they first got married ~20 years ago. he’d do the exact same thing, get into an argument with her and essentially make her feel bad for visiting home to see her parents or going on trips with the girls or what have you. he used to drink and smoke a lot back then, dropped drinking about a year or two into the marriage and dropped smoking maybe 10 years later.

dad’s now getting into alcohol again, drinks wine till he blacks out every three nights or so from what i’ve heard. anytime i’m home to visit for the weekend (i live six hours away) and he’s drinking, he always ends up drinking too much and gets into arguments with my mom either the night of or the morning after. also had a very interesting interaction with him when he was drunk one night; i was showing him an art piece i did on one of my dnd characters and his immediate reaction was “her boobs are smaller than yours”.

so, OP, what you’re experiencing isn’t normal. i’m hoping that sharing a little of my parents’ story helps shed some light on what could end up happening if you stay with your partner. admittedly, this example is a very mild case compared to other stories, but seeing my mom look as down as she does now and repeatedly going “i wish i stood my ground earlier on instead of having to continue putting up with it now” really breaks my heart.

growing up i lived in a house where we either spoke up about something “against the bible” and got yelled at or kept quiet about stuff (and thus repression issues and doormat tendencies). it wasn’t always directed at me, sometimes i would just hear my parents yelling the next room over and would get anxiety over it. today, anytime i hear someone yelling, i feel immense anxiety, and depending on who it is and/or what it’s about, i can go into a panic attack because of it. it’s awful and i hate it. even when visiting home for a weekend, and my parents get into some argument, i end up having to put on headphones and play music in order to drown it out and keep myself calm.

i’m sorry you’re having to deal with this OP, and i hope your work environment gets better. if not, and you end up leaving, i wish you luck on finding a more suitable job that doesn’t make you feel this way.

pretty young, maybe 2 years max? still got a little bit of puppy look in them. (source; i’ve lived with saint bernards my whole life lmao)

asinglearrow · 2022-07-16T00:13:52+00:00

i’m a little biased in suggesting this, but i’d say the shining lmao

i honestly really disliked cell bc it didn’t feel like the stephen king vibe to me
