I hope, more than anything in the world, that Sandra Lynn actually slept with Bobby Dawn's wife. I think Fig pulling out that her mom probably gave this man's wife the best sex of her life as a burn is the funniest fucking thing that could ever fucking happen in the universe.

I keep seeing a lot of people speculating on what the Rat Grinders align with re: bad table etiquette (Mary Ann being the "all combat no rp" character and all) and I just wanna throw out that Conjuration wizards are so fucking broken in 5e and of you build them right they're like... capable of doing 100 dmg a turn at SECOND level, and that gets infinitely more dangerous if they're scaled up to ten or higher. They get 30 ft of teleportation as a class feature at LEVEL SIX. PLUS the ability to indefinitely hold concentration despite damage or confusion bc of arcane tattoos (which is actually a class feature at 10th level, so frankly, this might just be flavor for the feature rather than an actual Arcane Tattoo). And dragonborn have an innate breath weapon and are hardier than most other races, which make them a good base for a squishy wizard.

All this to say Kipperlily isn't the meta powergamer, despite the natural inclination halflings have to the rogue class. It's Oisin, lmao

I swear I get sad if I wake up and one is on the floor

Lou fucking Wilson has had 3 separate characters try to perform surgery and not a single fucking one of them is the ONE CHARACTER HE HAS WHO IS A LITERAL MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL

I think if I could simply focus on writing books and stories and didn't have to claw and scrape to survive, I'd probably make so much more shit. So much amazing, weird, queer ass shit.

Every day, I write down ideas and plots and make up characters and write the smallest parts of stories, and write book length projects for the fun of it, despite the crushing weight of capitalism, and to imagine a life where I... Just could write? And nothing else? And not have to worry abt starving? Baffling. Boggling. Imagine how many stories I ould make. Insane. I already crank out a solid several hundred words of snippets and piece and collab writing a month, so like...

Capitalism actively is killing my art lmao.

Would anyone be interested in an invite-only semi-lit to lit Fantasy High rp? Potentially 6 people, each with one main PC and possibly picking up various side characters?

Thinking about how when the Bad Kids asked Buddy where his friends were at the beginning of the Last Stand, he seemed confused and clarified "oh you mean my adventuring party?" And talked about Kipperlily like she was a person he'd barely gotten to know in the somewhere around 6 months they've been teamed up this year. He didn't think of them as his friends.

This just got me thinking about the shrimp party and how Buddy wasn't hanging out with Ivy and Oisin at it. He was on his own. They all went, but they didn't go together. Mary Ann didn't go at all, presumably, if Ruben went, there's a good chance that he was also in disguise. Kipperlily maybe went but wasn't there with them either. She was Busy.

I wonder if any of them think of each other as friends anymore. I wonder how irrecovably broken their friendships are at this point that they're just together to pass, and Buddy being a transfer student, just slotted in fine not knowing anyone to pass along with them. I wonder how many times they have considered if they even needed a cleric at all to begin with, anymore. He can't replace her. He doesn't even care if they're friends. They didn't need a cleric all summer, so why do they have to have one now? Better off without the dead weight. How much do we bet that Buddy, as a transfer, wasn't even officially in their party yet, and so if he died, well, no big loss?

He didn't even think they were his friends. When they asked about his friends, and he was confused, who did he think about? It sure as hell wasn't Kipperlily.

Just cause I aint seen anyone else say it, I have a suspicion that Jace Stardiamond is just Kipperlily in disguise. Gotta bring Brennan's joke investigator guy full circle, but also I feel like him flipping out right before we find out Kipperlily has major anger issues is pretty par for the course, even with the rash of everone having anger issues in the school (but who's to say they weren't all her trying to give the kids the run around... jk jk... unless....)

"Kipperlily hates Riz because she's got a crush on him," this, "Kipperlily hates Riz because he somehow snubbed her," that... First of all, this boy imprinted instantly in a bully throwing him in a trash can thinking they could be friends, Riz wouldn't just forget someone he met in any sort of positive or negative way for zero reason. If they met, even if she didn't make a huge impression, Riz was SO desperate for companionship in Freshman year I don't think he'd have forgotten or ignored her.

I think a lot of people are forgetting the complexity of Riz's story as a poor kid who is of a "monster race" going to somewhere like Augefort through sheer working really fucking hard on the part of both him and his mom, and that they have explicitly in canon faced adversity both for their financial class and race. One of Riz's driving forces to do really well this year is so he can even GO to college. Sklonda EXPLICITLY lost her pension from YEARS of sleepless nights working as a detective and working her way up through the ranks this year (and I don't think it's something to overlook that Kipperlily's mom works as a county clerk and may have had some say there). I think Kipperlily may just be a graden variety privileged bigot who thinks some "gutter scum goblin shouldn't be in classes with normal people." And that a lot of her work with Jawbone has probably been unpacking these internalized biases.

Like, from the outside, the Bad Kids were ressurected by the principal the very first day of school, throwing the whole school into chaos and got DETENTION for it. Riz not only killed, but ATE the vice principal, after they defeated Kalvaxis! They were all on the verge of failing if they didn't complete their Sophmore year spring break project (it was 70% of their grade or some insane shit!), and while most of them may still have passed, Fig and Kristen DEFINITELY needed that credit and that is mentioned in the season, Adaine is insanely stressed about them completing their quest for "school credit".

If Kipperlily grew up rich and entitled, with all the biases about poor people that can grow (especially if her dad's real estate office owns Strong Arm Apts and she thinks of it as a slum, because it's kind of described as low income public housing lbr here) and saw that some lower class goblin was EATING PEOPLE after defeating them (you know, like a monster does, clearly not taking any time to understand his motivation OR culture), and getting preffered treatment because the principal just happened to LIKE HIM and his party (because they took the time to become closer to him over the years and Augefort clearly values students who will absolutely kick his teeth in bc adventurers are "insane violent psychopaths" citation: the Seven), and breezing through his classes without doing ANY of the work (because she doesn't SEE the work or the sleepless nights or all the stress he's taking on for others) it absolutely tracks for her to grow this huge chip on her shoulder about it and for it to reinforce these biases she may have already had about goblins and esp abt POOR goblins like Riz.

I don't think Riz did anything wrong. I think Kipperlily just has shit to fucking work thru in regards to how she views the kinds of people she doesn't know or has had no opportunity to associate with. Even among her party, they're all rich to middle class for the ones we know the class of. She's 17 and has a bunch of internalized biases, likely from her upper middle class upbringing, and major anger management issues. Idk it just makes sense to me. I met all kinds of girls like her in college who were type A to all shit who resented me for seeming to "have it easy" despite how hard my life should have been coming from a poorer background than them.

It's time
