But like if I really think about it, being apathetic to stuff that happen around us is a great theme. Make me care!!!! I wanna care!!! i wanna feel stuff!!! Mental health!!!!

The issue isn’t finding things that I know that are right, like BLM and protect our planet from destruction. It’s more like…… what are the things that piss me off on the spot and that I could rant about for days?

come one I’m a hothead Latina it shouldn’t be that hard 😑 lmfao

Finally, Was Starting To Think I'd Never Get Anything Released! Y'all Ready To ROCK?!
Finally, Was Starting To Think I'd Never Get Anything Released! Y'all Ready To ROCK?!

Finally, was starting to think I'd never get anything released! Y'all ready to ROCK?!

Now, just to get this out of the way, I was really hoping to have something else done for y'all by now, that thing being the update to Flesh and Bone I mentioned in my last update post. Mechanically, it's done and has been for a while, and I'm VERY pleased with how it's coming along. However, it's proving to be a frustrating challenge to get it formatted with artwork that doesn't look awful. So, I took a much-needed break to work on something else and it's going on the back burner. It'll be out when it's out.

So what's this new thing I bring before you this day? With my main D&D campaign wrapping up, I've been working on a absolute TON of custom stuff for a new character, so that's taken up a lot of my creative energy. Now that we've had our first session and my work is done, I can pretty it up for y'all!

As one may surmise, I'm playing a heavy metal bard, so I put this together based on a combination of an existing college of metal I found on D&Dwiki and Matt Mercer's college of the maestro. The metalheads among you may have also noticed that yes, each feature and solo are named after metal songs, a lot of bangers too. Having run a combat with it, I'm already really happy with it mechanically and since it's my newest character it will be getting LOTS of playtesting. 

Another thing to mention is the little sidebar at the end. For this campaign I'm playing the 2024 playtest version of the new bard so that's what this was originally built for.  However, since most won't be playing it, I reworked it for the existing bard and added a way to "update" it for the new one for those who want it. For future content I would like to do something similar depending on how extensive the changes are, but we'll see how things shake out.

Anyway, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. A little sparse in the art department, but I think the theme I picked does a lot to carry it. Plus, I genuinely couldn't come up with anything that looked better, so hey, I'm not gonna let perfect be the enemy of done.

Anyway, that's all I got for now. So glad to actually be working on stuff again. Stay safe, don't forget to love each other, and I'll see you again soon.

We Wavered In What Had Somehow Become An Embrace Until He Lifted His Head, Found His Face Too Close To
We Wavered In What Had Somehow Become An Embrace Until He Lifted His Head, Found His Face Too Close To

we wavered in what had somehow become an embrace until he lifted his head, found his face too close to mine. i stared at him, momentarily brain-dead except for the nonsensical question of whether he’d ever looked at me quite like that before...

I’m completely obsessed with a certain niche of webcomics, and honestly it’s gotten to the point where it should be boring by now, but it’s not.

There’s also the writer part of me that begs me to write one of my own (hell, I even have an idea that semi-original comparatively.)

The Stanford prison experiment tapes were so stupid when I watched them in AP psych and so stupid when I watch this film about them. Literally they could’ve all sat and played cards and got $15 a day to tell ghost stories all day and be best friends. But masculinity and whiteness and power created this violent irrationality that positioned young ass men to be met with brutality and trauma and disrespect even when it was obviously taken too far. and it makes no sense. If someone put me in a room with Black girls and said I would get paid $90 a day (that’s the equivalent apparently) to be a prison guard, do you know how fast I’d be sitting with them and learning about them and exchanging Instagrams and like.. sleeping.. like what the fuck was the point of any of that…
