Korrilla insight check

When you speak to Korrilla in Sharess' Caress after taking Raphael's deal, there's an insight check that gets you some rare dialogue if you don't press her on it.

Notables:

"He's as honest as his life is long" - He does not lie to you. His contract might have loopholes, but that's on you for not reading right.

"treats me right and feeds me well" - He's good to his allies as long as they do good work (he notes in one of his journals that Korrilla does a good job)

"he's barely been home since he met you" - Likely why the HoH is in such a state. I doubt a being of order would approve of the rotting dinner table.

"I hope things turn out well for you" - She likes us. Raphael likes us. They like us.

To me, he's not an actual villain. He has a clear liking for the main character. And he only attacks us if we betray him and rob his house. Yes, he's lawful evil. But he's not a villain to our story, unless we become a villain to his.

I thought I should make a post explaining why I add a moral alignment to every character I write for!

This way of describing characters came about in a 1977 version of the Dungeons & Dragons handbook by Gary Gygax. The alignment system was based on the fantasy stories of Michael Moorcock and Poul Anderson.

It was a way for players to decide how their characters would think and act in the game. And I’ve now integrated it as a part of how I see characters and their motives.

Here’s a few alignment tests if you’d like to find out for yourself!

(P.s each test has different questions so one might not give you the same answer as the other. Quite like the Hogwarts House quizzes).

Comment down below or reblog with your result!

Test One.

Test Two.

Test Three.

Test Four.

Test Five.

Across the Spider-verse is 10/10 in animation, story, voice acting, and soundtrack (MILD spoilers)

To all the people who “Spider-Man can’t be black!” in 2018, Imma need y’all to hold that L indefinitely. Due to the concept of the multiverse, Spider-Man is literally all races, creeds, and backgrounds and it’s canon. There’s Indian, Muslima, paraplegic, Latino, and 4 different black Spider-people. The movie is 2hrs and 20-ish minutes, so PLEASE don’t bring your toddler cuz their attention span is gonna plummet an hour in. The plot of this movie is for the people who saw the first movie, so it’s matured with the original audience. Miguel O’Hara wants to preserve the multiverse (saving billions of lives), meaning each Spider-person’s story has to play out the same (get bit by a spider, your uncle dies, police captain dies). Miles Morales was NEVER supposed to be Spider-man (remember his spider came from Universe 42). Miguel’s all like “you’re not supposed to be Spider-Man but since you ARE Spider-Man, your police captain dad needs to die to keep your story consistent with the rest of us.” Miles response is “Hol’ up, you want me to sit back and let my dad die? I know these deaths make us who we are, but if we have the power to save people, then we should do the responsible thing and save them.” Both Miguel and Miles think they’re doing the responsible thing (letting canon play out vs saving lives regardless of canon). Miguel is lawful evil, believing the needs of the many outweigh the few. Miles’s very existence disrupts Spider-man canon, but he IS Spider-Man, whether he was fated to be or not. Also, Miguel keeps saying that the Spot is the huge threat to the multiverse then spends 15 minutes chasing down Miles, diverting a good portion of his resources to capturing him. HELLO, I thought you said the Spot >> Miles so why are you focusing on one kid and not the multiverse-ending superbeing?

Who said it: Strahd or the DM?

(I thought I’d share players’ favorite OOC game to play, courtesy of our campaign quote list)

“I tend to be somewhat vindictive when caught on a bad day.”

“Brooding is very important to my self care”

“The world is full of disappointments. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be mad about its inefficacy.”

“What is your deepest fear? […] That’s stupid. Pick again.”

“You can be self destructive in other ways. You simply aren’t thinking creatively.”

“I too get angry at small children, contemplate their doom, and then find them utterly amusing all in the same evening.”

“You underestimate my peerless ability to self-isolate.”

“Personally, sleep deprivation is my drug of choice.”

“The control issues are bad, but I’m far too controlling to give them up.”

“I say this with the deepest kindness I can muster: did you simply lack human contact for an extended period of time? Were you, perhaps, raised by wolves?”

So what I’m hearing is the SK bros are lawful evils, right?

I can see why you'd see them as such, but we find them to be more Lawful Neutral, or even True Neutral.

Here's the definition for Lawful Evil according to Google:

A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts. He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order but not about freedom, dignity or life. He plays by the rules but without mercy or compassion.

Sun and Moon do take in regard who they hurt; not just the Rulebreakers, but their families too. They care about the freedoms of the abused and mistreated children. They may show no mercy for the Rulebreakers, but their compassion is directed towards the children and anyone else who was hurt by Rulebreakers.

Sun and Moon protect who they can, and hurt who they have to.

Found my notes for when I was trying to make sense of alignments

No, you don't need to box your character into a single alignment, and yes, they're silly

But it's always nice to just have a starting point. Like, "you need to know the rules first so you can know how to break them" type of thing (that's paraphrased writing advice I've come across and really love)

Without further ado, H / V = Hero or Villain respectively, but they're just stereotypical hero or villain here. Please feel free to break the norm and mess around :)

LG, H "I do the right thing coz it's the right thing to do"

LN, HV "I'm just following the rules." could be good or bad rules

LE, V "I'm evil but I have a code / standards."

NG, HV "Good =/= Law." sometimes you might have to break the law to do good

TN, V "Eh. I do what I want, but calmly."

NE, V "I'm evil how I want to be."

CG, HV "I'm trying to do good, sometimes it has costs. Or sometimes I go over what's socially acceptable and seem silly but am appreciated."

CN, V "I have fun doing what I want."

CE, V "I enjoy destruction."
