i need to find and rb that viktor/fire comic that shit slapped so hard and i missed it

If you have left me a nice tag please know I've plucked it out and dried it in the warm sun so I can then use it to garnish bubbly sodas to drink and feel refreshed even once the season has passed

being slammed by life stuff but can i just say. everyone talks about getting screwed (lol) by the vampires in strahd but absolutely no one talks about how fucked up the houses are. everything is booby trapped. our party keeps getting eaten alive by these home alone castles and towers and we were NEVER WARNED!!!

oh m ygod i dont have more art to post bc ive been in work/life hell but i did a one on one with dm for roma to have a date with ez and it went. EXTREMELY WELL

(holding roma) i love my son i think he is so charming.

roma has the charm of a shibe that DOESN'T want to go on a walk anymore, and you gotta pull his collar and his face scrunches up and you gotta drag him and his stupid little scrunched face along. roma has the charm of a husky that's like. sitting in the car and REFUSES to get out no matter how many times you tell him its time to get out and he's just staring at you in that knowing husky way because you BOTH KNOW!!! HE'S NOT MOVING AND YOU CAN'T CONVINCE HIM TO LEAVE THIS CAR WITHOUT MAJOR INCENTIVE despite YOU KNOWING YOU CAN'T LEAVE THIS HUSKY IN THE HOT CAR.

Roma has the charm of a young person who hasn't experienced the world latching onto some niche detail and being SO CONVINCED of this little thing's GREAT IMPORTANCE that when you mention that this thing is alright HE'S SO BEWILDERED? like what do you MEAN you don't think guardians of the galaxy is PEAK CINEMA... and is just SOO passionate about this random mainstream thing because that's all he's experienced ... and has convinced himself that YOURE the strange one about all this

Roma has the charm of a cat that brings dead birds and mice and lizards into your house that theyve hunted and then MEOW SO LOUDLY AFTER THEYVE HUNTED THEM!!!! and these little corpses are just SO NASTY but your cat is so damn PROUD

roma is very stubborn and rude and annoying but he means everything he says and everything he does 100% and that's a part of his charm!!!! all the bad parts and all the good parts he will own up to completely and while he ends up grating at a lot of people i think there's something to his naked earnestness and honesty that's always on display. he's a stinky, willful dog and everything that comes with it!!!!

can't believe ive been given (entire self imposed) the sisyphean task of having to make my own content to feed myself. what the fuck. whose idea wsa this (it was my own idea)

anyway i love both ez and roma (and every other npc) and i just think its funny that my description i will not change says that my posts are mostly going to be roma when ez is Rapidly Catching Up

Hi! General announcement that this is a 21+ blog, not necessarily because this blog is nsfw or the like, but because I am an adult and will naturally talk about and post adult (general) things.

thoughts

wuv ez amd roma. i take one of them in each hand and jam them against each other

POSTS TWEETS HERE BC I DELETED THEM AND I GOTTA REMEMBER THEM FOR SESSION NEXT TIME

SESSION TODAY

SESSION TODAY WAS FUN..!!! Roma did his interview to get into Vallaki and it was interesting because despite the fact that Roma didn't know common and could really only answer with yes/know/a scattering of words, the guard was able to sus out enough that the reason questions like "are you here to commit ACTS OF SEDITION" or "ARE YOU CONTRACTED WITH ANY MALIGN ENTITIES" didn't raise any red flags with the Lie Detector Spider was because Roma's value system didn't align with the one in place in Vallaki... or in place in Barovia in general.

For better or for worse, Roma also was very forthright and in some ways generous with his statements, since its in him to be honest not just because of his nature, but also because he doesn't yet believe in the value and power of words, and doesn't feel like what he says can be turned against him in any literal, meaningful way... at least, not like in the Fey Forest where he grew up, where words are literally Binding and here its like, whatever. It makes mse SO nervous and its hard to not Not say things bc I as a player Know the consequences but ROMA.. DOESN'T CARE..!! HE'S GOTTA SAY OUT LOUD HOW STUPID HE THINKS STRAHD IS AND ALL THESE PEOPEL

Thankfully when he said he was visiting a girl here ("What reasons bring you here?") the guy thought he was. visting his girlfriend and not trying to rescue Our Fated Ally SDKJOGIJ

answering questions from that meme that popped out at me (aka the ones i can answer quickly)

2. what was your original concept for this character? how did playing them change that concept?

roma's original concept was a gentle person who desperately wanted to be loved/liked (VERY VAGUE CONCEPTUALLY) and this photo

His name used to be Amata to reflect this. Roma's current concept started with that "I was, in fact, raised by wolves" backstory snippet from DM's Guide, and that's still currently one of the cruxes of his character.

4. what one person, place, or thing do they love more than anything else?

van wicky c:

7. there’s a magic item (or technological innovation, or special resource) made just for them—what is it?

a pouch that dispenses little trinkets that he can give away, usually nature-y things or sparkly trinkets... things fey generally like

8. what songs remind you of them? if there are specific lyrics or movements, list ‘em!

this section from phoebe bridgers' graceland too

and that era of really high energy petty early 00s pop punk, paramore's misery business and olivia rodrigo's good 4 u type vibes

13. what are some motifs you associate with them? did you intentionally bring in those motifs, or did it happen over time?

Deep forest greens (intentional), shadows intentionally and also unintentionally thru campaign events, pinecones and pine trees (unintentional)

20. what attracts them to someone—platonically and/or romantically, anything counts.

i described roma's type to a friend of mine and they said "so someone who looks like they'd survive natural selection?" and that's pretty much it

23. in what moment did they consider themselves to be “grown up”?

When he could keep up with pack hunts without physically struggling. When he got taller.

24. are they close to any family members?

He was actually very close to his (dog) mom and pretty close with the rest of his (dog) family.

29. what feelings do they internalize?

Pain! Mostly physical, but on the occasions he can't dispel it mental as well. He's pretty good at hiding it in that, wild animals hiding their wounds way

35. when did they feel loneliest?

Dying after Strahd killed him, and having to broker a deal with Osybus to live again.

39. are they insecure about their appearance? how about their personality? what aspects specifically worry them?

Not normally (at least not for long) but currently their biggest worry is that Osybus is going to change Roma into someone he currently would hate, but after transformation he simply wouldn't realize.

Generally, he is worried about coming to hate the people he currently likes, because the deal he has with Osybus seems to mean that every time he makes a wish in the future it'll continuously change Roma as he knows himself until unrecognizable

48. do they relate to anyone in their group? conversely, which person do they relate to the least?

In the party, when they were still around Roma connected with Elle the most, and for the most part Roma's felt fundamentally opposed to Vice.

52. how would they dress themselves up for a formal event?

Unfortunately they wouldn't go to a formal event ): But I imagine if they went they'd dress in a simple black linen dress, square shaped neckline, narrow sleeves that go over his knuckles, and a Really bushy flower crown made of pine leaves and smaller pinecones. Pine perfume. Barefoot.

53. do they keep their plans close to their chest?

No, he infodumps if people care to ask

56. who would they trust with their life, unequivocally?

van wicky

58. how often do they swear? do they mind when others swear?

Doesn't swear, doesn't mind if others do though!

63. what’s a meme or tiktok or vine (or whatever) that you associate with them?

every now and again i browse my twitter followers and im startled by a Really Good Artist I Didn't Notice Before Following Me, For Some Reason

Endlessly frustrated that I close my eyes and see nothing. No mental image. No imagination. Nothing. Just emptiness. I want to turn my writing into comic, to make more things, to create, to inspire, but my brain is broken and cannot translate written word into visuals. I can’t imagine a fucking apple. I can’t imagine a pose. I spend all my time looking at the world and references and trying trying trying because it’s just… blank. I’m so frustrated by my stupid limitations, that I open up even a doll posing software and I can’t frame anything because I Don’t Know How without existing reference.

I hate this.
