Okay so this idea has been rocking around my empty skull for some time now just we know that Eddie can be a pretty mean DM and a shithead and I've been thinking abt romances in D&D and how it would work in Hellfire
And I had this thought that Eddie would like be "no romances!!" to the Corroded Coffin group (before the kids joined) and they're like why? and Eddie just to tease them says that he doesn't want to pretend to fall for their smelly ugly faces
Which just motivates them to try and seduce like every character that Eddie introduces for a fucking month and it leads to the creation of the rule: Every romance/seduction directed roll must be rolled above 15 to succeed AND if Eddie decides that the attempt is particularly bad the roll is with disadvantage
The Corroed Coffin boys are obviously teasingly like ohhh so we get an advantage if it's good?
"Doubt that would happen boys, but sure, if you make me, Eddie fucking Munson, to blush like a fair maiden then you'll get the advantage on the roll"
They try, they really do, but all the CC boys succeed in doing is killing off all of their party in three sessions and Gareth who is a little shit is actually rolling his third character (because the consequences of a failure are fucking brutal) by the time Jeff and [unnamed freak] give up
After that they know better (except Gareth who still sometimes does that just to annoy Eddie and be a little shit) to try and then the kids join Hellfire and Eddie has even less of an desire to flirt with fucking Wheeler, Henderson and Sinclair (they're baby children!!)
But the kids are a little shits too and they see Gareth being a little shit so they copy
It ends badly for them, they gripe about Eddie being unfair because like "all three of us have girlfriends Eddie and you don't so we clearly know more about romance then you do" Dustin not only gets a flick on the head for that but his character might have ended up being put into situations™ throughout the session that are "totally unfair!"
But fair to say all of Hellfire knows the rules and all of hellfire knows that no matter how well they try and how smooth they are (they really aren't ever smooth) Eddie will not blush or even consider they attempts as "good", the best they got was "tolerable" (Lucas got it and he's still very proud of it, as he deserves okay?), Eddie is impossible to fluster and so it's just is this fun thing they sometimes do when they feel particularly like little shits
And that's it about it
Until Vecna and all the upside down shit and the surprising friendship of Eddie and Steve happens
And suddenly Steve Harrington is not only sitting but playing D&D
Everything is going actually pretty good and Dustin practically vibrates out of his chair at how proud he is of Steve for how well he is doing so far and then
And then Steve tries to flirt with a pretty bard
Dustin deflates, he is ready for the absolute disaster that is going to fall upon Steve, he makes eye contact with Lucas - both of them ready with "it was actually a pretty good line tho!" at the tip of their tongues to defend Steve's decisions, he doesn't know Eddie's special rules after all and it would be funny to see Steve fail, sure, but it's Steve's first game and the kids wanted it to be good for Steve so convincing him to play again would be easier
But now Eddie is going to absolutely rip into him and Steve will never want to play again and-
"Roll with advantage" Dustin gasps, audibly, loudly, the room is silent, except for Steve who's very unaware of the chaos he just created and just rolls the dices, his usual confidence in place
And if someone looked closely - and all of the hellfire is fucking looking - Eddie Munson has indeed a light blush on his face

The renfaires in Gotham must be on the next fucking level
At least three villains have been mistaken for regular attendees and left in a huff because no one feared them and at least least five people commented on the lack of accuracy. Some redhead was complaining about an obscure food that apparently “didn’t taste the same” and a seven year old (“I’m thirteen”) shouldn’t be able to handle a sword that well. At least a third of Red Hood’s crew is there. This one lady had the best costume out of anyone but then started floating leading to theories that she’s actually a ghost from five or six hundred years ago. Nobody wants to be rude and ask. That guy might actually be Red Hood. At least four people escaped Arkham to be here but they’re not causing a fuss so no one’s telling just yet.

Oh, I watch my soul it floats above me
It's like every cell is hitting light speed
Got a new step movin' with momentum
Add it up, double it, take it and then some
Crystal clear like diamond
Waist deep in my thoughts
Found the silver lining
Buried in a box
Universal timing
What if we got lost?
Somewhere we fit right in

The D&D party HEHEHEH
Geshtu plays a vampire drow Warlock named Ilewela (iLewela).
Hopps (oc belonging to @ickyguts) plays a drow swashbuckler rogue named Atlas.
Kyle (oc belonging to @technicoloranimalviolence) plays a Cleric
Mime plays a bard, Toothy a fighter, and Giggles a druid.
Sniffles is their DM naturally hehe
Geshtu kinda stays glued to Hopps during the sessions, he’s still uneasy interacting with most treefolk. Luckily it helps having a character to hide behind. He slowly opens up more over time, but he still keeps his distance for the most part. The others find him odd and a little creepy, but….he’s a really good warlock and is really good at driving the game. Its almost like he has a lot of leadership experience or something.
Hopps spent WAY too much money on cosplays for them. But they sure do look fly as hell.
Geshtu in his Ilawela cosplay:
Ilawela in game:
They are the same exact person. Geshtu basically just plays himself. He thinks he’s a great role player.
I’ll post about the story of their campaign later but for now….have this >:3
