I'm excited to jump into this because I have been preparing it for months.

There are bits that have not aged well in regards to the portrayal of the Vistani so I consulted with someone who is himself Romani. He also gave me some ideas on how to portray things.

A couple cool things about this arc coming up in my #Darkon game:

I adapted it from the original Bleak House module which is massive so I pared it down considerably. Some of the text I read aloud is directly from the original but a lot is me.

Another choice bit:

“They wanted something modern with lots of color” and “to carry on that wonderful experience that their patrons have when they visit the restaurant,” McKeown said.

Wasn't there a Peebles in a BTB episode who somehow managed to become a militia leader?

And like Tracy Hickman has never been subtle about how Strahd is a dig at that particular type of guy. I believe he has said "He could have been a great man had he been able to get over himself."
athenarose.bsky.social
Let that statement and who made it sink in.
athenarose.bsky.social
Asshole DM, aka the guy who would not stop pursuing me despite repeated and emphatic declarations that I am a lesbian and not interested, stated he changed it because "It made [him] uncomfortable."
athenarose.bsky.social
Did I ever mention why Strahd in our original #CurseOfStrahd game was straight instead of bi like he is in canon?

Fucking YouTube. Watching my horse girl show and I hear Noem's voice "If you're an illegal alien..."

Hot Cheeto Hatred returns?
theradioghost

I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR OF MY OWN HOME
ONLY TO FIND THE DEER THAT TRIED TO KICK MY ASS LAST
YEAR STANDING RIGHT THERE IN MY FRONT YARD. BOLD AS
BRASS.

AM I NOT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE

theradioghost

for those of you who were not here last year: this deer is the most
obnoxious, unnatural red-orange color I've ever seen, only appears
when it's raining, and once chased me a quarter mile through the
woods. her name is Hot Cheeto Hatred and she is my nemesis

All right, baby's first 4 intubations complete!

Feel like a real medic now.

It wasn't directly that instructor's fault but in my opinion he created the sort of environment where stuff like that could happen. And there was a lot of that.
athenarose.bsky.social
And then there's how one of the instructors was very bro-y and he eventually got fired after one of the students came back from a long lunch shitfaced, jumped in his car, got a DUI and thrown out of the program and fired from the company where we worked.

Realizing my paramedic program kinda sucked even without COVID completely fucking us over.

I don't think I could recommend it to anyone in good faith realizing how much they didn't teach us that is supposed to be standard.

I find it genuinely frightening and it's really only by chance I didn't get into that and just never stumbled across it.

Considering I was discovering I was nonbinary, undiagnosed neurospicy (still am but we knew even less back then about that) and into a lot of that woo woo stuff and very *very* depressed and lonely they absolutely could have gotten me.
athenarose.bsky.social
I was listening to an interview with someone who was in that Twin Flames Universe cult. And would have been *so* vulnerable to that had I stumbled on it at the right time in my life.

I know the premise sounds silly but #Umamusume: Cinderella Grey is genuinely a really good show.

The animation is top notch and the opening is a banger.

You might notice the skeleton arm sticking out of the ground is in the V sign position that means "fuck you" in Britain which I did deliberately. Most Americans wouldn't know the difference from a peace sign.
athenarose.bsky.social
The kneeling skeleton is also kind of an accident because originally he was standing up but I couldn't get him to stay standing up so I positioned him like that which makes it look like he's fallen to his knees in despair.
athenarose.bsky.social
It's even funnier from this angle.

The funny part is the reason one of the skeletons is missing an arm was cuz I accidentally broke it while putting them away last season.
A Halloween display showing two skeletons, one in a wheelbarrow with a black cat raising both arms up and the right arm missing below the elbow and the other in a brown flat cap kneeling next to the wheelbarrow as if in despair, while off to the side a two headed season skeleton the size of a medium sized dog had the skeleton's arm in its mouths. There is also a sign reading "Beware Of Dog (crossed out) Dragon"
