Also if my partner of multiple high stakes cons suddenly dumped my ass in the desert, still tied up, without my cut of the money for the last con? Of course I'd be furious!
Justice for Tuco. He deserves his revenge.
When Clint Eastwood's character gets unjustly hanged and betrayed, his mission to seek vengeance paints him as the heroic protagonist. But when I, Tuco Benedicto Pacífico Juan María Ramírez ...
Hadestown live: new favorite Hades???
May. 21st, 2023 05:48 pmForgot to warn my girlfriend how hot Hades as a character is and uhhhh welp, I welcome the new hyperfixation to our lives XD
And like, look, I've loved every cast member since the original concept album. THAT SAID ... Matthew Patrick Quinn's Hades might be my favorite Hades? His voice. Goes. SO DEEP. All Hades performers are going for Leonard Cohen with a bit of Tom Waits gravel. Quinn did, but he also made it something new. .. dare I say a bit of a classic Disney villain style? In the best way! The smug "oh, it's about me!" aside to the audience as Orpheus starts. The lanky prowling around the stage. The lingering looks at Eurydice and Persephone.
Maybe I'm biased because this is my first time seeing the show live but ... idk. Overall the tour cast felt a lot more soulful, more gritty, than the Broadway cast (whom I adore!) I hope they release a proper recording of this cast, I know that's rare but I can dream.
Monster Smash Letter: 2023
Mar. 16th, 2023 04:22 pmHazel/Moon: got a bit obsessed with this last year on tumblr and that has not gone away. Their complicated dynamic is just so intense to me. Hazel's seemingly unending trauma, especially when he's hanged almost to death for desertion, is something I'd love to see explored. Moon's struggles with human limitations and needs would also be great. She's so very much NOT human and I love how eerie she can get.

Otto von Chriek/Sacharissa Cripslock/William de Worde: One of my favorite OT3s. Please, literally anything, I will read it.
I'd love to know how they get together, who hits on whom first, is a third approaching a couple, do they all fall together after a late night on a breaking story? I love how the book shows us all of them paired off and then together, the dynamics at play that differentiate. I love how Otto and Sacharissa keep William grounded when he gets too bigheaded, how William and Sacharissa defend Otto, and how Otto and William deal with his father.
If you're up for smut, I'm not at all opposed to Black Ribboners being allowed to nibble their partners in bed. In fact I think that would be really lovely to explore the trust involved in that.
Very much interested in Otto relapsing, or having to rescue one or both of them from scoundrels outraged over the latest newspaper story and getting a bit carried away.

Jack Barnabas/Agnes Montague: It's just one episode, but "Burning Desire" really stands out to me. Agnes trying to live a "normal" life for a time, with this guy Jack. What if things had gone differently, and she'd kept seeing him? What if she hadn't died when she did? What if the burning kiss turned Jack into an Avatar himself? What if they'd found a way to be together without touch?
Elias Bouchard/Melanie King
This is complicated. I was trying to work this out and came up with "the 70s horror appeal of an abused woman lashing back at her abusive boss and raping him at knifepoint but like he enjoys it too much and it's really weird." If that makes sense to you, great! If not, don't worry, I have more words:
I want Melanie to have her vengeance. I want her to get back at him. I'm real mad she wasn't there to see him arrested. I'm real mad she didn't get to stab him. I feel like Elias enjoys women hurting him way too much, maybe play that out a bit? Maybe they have a messed up, dark, deeply unhealthy relationship while she protects the Institute and he tries to steer into more of a Slaughter Soldier type. Maybe he can compel statements about her sex life and kinks, either to humiliate her or turn her on or enrage her. Maybe she has just enough Eye powers to turn that back on him for a change and drag out all the disgusting things he thinks about all day. Love the idea of her making him suck her fingers, her boot, her knife, anything to stop his lying tongue. Also remember for all his posturing, Elias snapped and beat a man to death with a pipe and called it an "overreaction" he's got violent rage going on too. You could really lean on the corporate horror of all this, the paperwork, contracts, reviews, disciplinary measures, etc.
My super self indulgent guilty pleasure concept: Melanie pins him down with a knife and fucks him in his office chair. And she's not fussed about him getting hurt in the process.

Agnes Montague/Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist
I'm super intrigued by these two characters. They have a lot in common and not much opportunity to talk about their own issues. I would love to see them meet somehow, perhaps the soulbond with Gertrude managed to save Agnes from death, or the world ending brings her back? Or an AU where Agnes is still lurking around and feels herself drawn to Jon now that he's the Archivist? Will she help burn down the Archives, or will she need convincing? Feel free to lean WAY into the dark religious implications of Agnes especially if you're comfortable with that.
These are two characters who've both died in canon in a way, how do they feel about rough sex, about relative immortality? What does that soulbond feel like when they touch?

Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner
Werewolves werewolves WEREWOLVES! Go WILD with this! Hunting each other down in the woods! Heats! Biting! Using sex to cope with murdery feelings! All the consent issues! let. them. FIGHT. Or fuck. Or hunt together! Or hunt each other! Maybe Daisy's struggling with her urges and has violent sex to try and stave it off. Or she gives in and then regrets it, blood still warm on her lips. Or they team up in the apocalypse to survive. Or they end up together in a What If and are hunters together in England from the show's start. I'd love to know more about Trevor and Julia's relationship, hunts, dynamic. I don't personally see them as father/daughter but if you wanna lean into the implications there by all means go right ahead, I'll read it.
For the moresomes pairings ... Werewolf pack! Maybe Hunt avatars go into heat and Trevor kidnaps Jon to satisfy Julia, since he's been struggling to keep up with her lately. Pie in the sky, dreaming big ... I'd love for Jon to get kept by this pack. Trapped in a cuddlepile of murderers where he feels safe, so long as he doesn't try to leave of course. If he tries to leave, they'll run him down.

Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier | Dandelion/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg: ah, a beloved OT3. I'm down for Witcher physiology being weirder than in canon, Yen having some interesting shenanigans going on, or Jaskier getting cursed or suddenly having nonhuman lineage that pops out all of the sudden, or a mixture of all of that. I'm not super well versed in the lore so feel free to set it whenever or in a complete AU timeline.
Jaskier | Dandelion/Witchers: my needs here are simple. Ravish. That. Bard!
Which Witchers? Whichever you fancy! Feel free to invent OCs and fling them into the party too!

Nikignik/Danielle O'Hara: Their meeting in Season 1 was brief but very interesting to me. How many such people has Nikignik met over time? What does Danielle's future hold? What if they met in a different time and place?
The Countess/Yaretzi: This is self-indulgent of me but like, come on. Werewolf and Vampire! Mutual interest, tension, teeth for biting, long lives and much to discuss.
Polly/Yaretzi: They're such a strange pair, and I've been drawn to them from the start. The devil and the ancient werewolf. Locked into promises with each other and forming a strange kind of family with Mort. I'd love to read like, anything for them? Especially if they start trying to be intimate together and explore their potential with each other.
Ricou Chapman/Nolan Thair: These two are just so sweet. I wanna know more about how they met, how they work out their relationship together, their varying issues of their bodies and senses of self. Perhaps one night something comes out of the lake? Or a stranger at the hotel makes trouble for them?

Female Mad Scientist/Nonbinary Overworked Assistant/Nonbinary Vengeance-Seeking Creature: I nominated this one. I'm so weak for this dynamic. Long suffering assistant(s) in love with eccentric boss, I can't help it, I love it. Perhaps some experiment goes kinky? Perhaps they make it go kinky? Go as campy or serious as you like with this. Perhaps the Creature wanted vengeance and has been mollified with offers of kindness and love. Perhaps the Scientist is disgraced for refusing to give up the Creature to their former colleagues for study.
Stolen Human Raised By Faeries/Changeling Raised By Humans: This is one I keep nominating in various exchanges in the hopes of seeing it written.
I'm very into the game lore for Changeling: The Lost but don't feel beholden to that at all if you aren't familiar.
Trans Man Put in the Stocks Overnight/Group of Monsters Who Find Him: Ah, the old "sexy stocks punishment" set up. I gotta admit this compels me every time I see it in an exchange. What sort of monsters? Anything that strikes your fancy and isn't in my DNWs. I'm partial to werewolves and tentacle beasts personally but don't feel limited by that, the world is full of monster lore and this man in the stocks is there ALL NIGHT.
Nymph/Pack of Werewolves: I love werewolves and I especially love packs of werewolves and I particularly love packs of werewolves sharing a lucky lady around or lavishing her with attention. (Not all the werewolves have to be male btw, any genders welcome and encouraged.) I like the idea of them meeting in the woods perhaps during Midsummer and the energy in the air causing an orgy, or perhaps the nymph's got access to some sex pollen that makes the werewolves go wild for her. Dubious consent is very much welcome here, I'm down for some ravishment, or even something more intense and rough.
Warrior Prince/Demonic Queen he's In a Politically Arranged Marriage With: I love the potential here for a Queen who looks perfectly average on the surface, but in the bedroom shows a very different form. Or a Queen who looks exquisitely demonic at all times and the Warrior Prince knows just what he's in for from the get go. How willing he is to be in this arranged marriage, and what's on the line if he displeases his
Multispecies Band of Female Adventurers/Captive Male Drow: Yes yes, D&D lore around the Drow is inherently very problematic. Let's eroticize it here though. Feel free to build the party however you please, though I'm a big fan of size difference in D&D parties. Would love to see some bondage of their captive, and use of fun toys picked up during their adventures. How willing or not the captive is, I leave up to you.

Moving, February 2023
Feb. 9th, 2023 02:08 pmI haven't moved this significantly since I left college, almost 8 years ago.
Last time, I had a Volvo. I could hitch a uhaul trailer to it and put my stuff inside. My mom and I traded off driving.
Now, I have a much smaller, more fuel efficient car, and way more stuff. I had to rent one of those cubes and hire people to load it up with most of my stuff.
I've driven cross country 5 times now in my life. Most of those times I was driving alone. I actually really enjoy road trips, I find them soothing, a time to reflect, reset, or just relax with my music and podcasts, all on my own terms, no demands other than getting to and from my destination. I've been very much looking forward to this one, after a lot of life stress, job stress, and that it's been a while since my last road trip and I feel antsy for one. I get that from my grandfather, he had the "travel bug" as my family calls it, and he was so delighted when I discovered my love of road trips.
This time I'm driving with my cat. She has never been on a road trip. I hope she isn't too freaked out. I have vet-approved drugs to help her relax, but still, wish I could explain what's going on to her.
I'm exhausted from my job's tasks this week, from packing, and from the emotions of saying goodbye to my friends here. Especially my longtime roommate, a friend from college who's lived with me all these 8 years. I plan to visit of course, but things will change, and we all know that and are grappling with it to varying degrees of success.
It's the end of an era, as one of my friends put it. But also, the start of a new chapter in my life. Much to reflect on. I'm so glad I have a road trip to help me process.

Critical Role Campaign Two
Fandom specific DNWS: Permanent deaths of Artagan, Jester, Marion, or Astrid. Marion/Babenon content. Rape/noncon between Yussa/Marion or Astrid/Jester.
Crossovers/AUs: I'm into roleswap AUs, class swaps, What Ifs, pirate AUs, sci-fi AUs, and superhero AUs.
Artagan/Jester Lavorre. Smut would be amazing. So would his strange Fair Folk thoughts about her and how excited he is about her growing power. I'm also fond of the idea of Jester getting herself off and that energy transferring to the Traveler through their bond. If smut's not your thing, them pulling pranks together, doing art together, grappling with the realization that Jester's changed him as much as he's changed her. What does the future look like for Jester and Artagan's relationship? Would love to see her take off with him to the Feywilde post-campaign.
Artagan/Jester Lavorre/Caleb Widogast. Jester deserves everything she wants ok, and if that includes Caleb AND Artie so much the better! Down for anything, flirting, smutty first times, an AU where Feylock Jester spirits Caleb away to the Feywilde to introduce him to her patron, post-campaign adventures, anything.
Avantika/Jester Lavorre. What if Jester wasn't just angry about the Avantika/Fjord dynamic because of her crush on Fjord, but because she had a crush on Avantika too? AU where Avantika fixates on Jester instead. AU where Jester decides to try and seduce Avantika and it works. What If alternate where Avantika is in port and Jester wants to flirt with the beautiful woman in the tavern. Smut would be great. So would confused pining and Jester sorting out her feelings for Avantika.
Yussa Errenis/Marion Lavorre | Ruby of the Sea. Look I just ... really don't like who Marion ended up with in canon. I really wanted to see her and Yussa get together in the show. AU where maybe Yussa is a regular client? Maybe he admires from afar? Maybe a big AU where Marion is sent to the tower of the mighty dragon and charms her way into his heart? Maybe something fun post-campaign of them in Nicodranas together enjoying each other's company?
Jester Lavorre/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast. OT3 Donutmancy. I love this trio so much. I love how Jester teased Essek, and later held his hands during the big reveal. I love how Caleb and Essek have this intense flirty spy vs spy magic teaching dynamic and then Caleb got all intense with him later after the reveal. I love how Jester and Caleb bring out the best in each other. I'd love to see the three of them flirting, falling in together in some way, figuring out how to make things work.
Astrid Beck/Jester Lavorre. Their brief meeting in episode 110 was soooooo good! I want to read more about them interacting, teaming up in a fight, saving each other, flirting, nudging each other cautiously and then not so cautiously. I think Astrid could benefit from time with Jester, and Jester could impress her with some direct insights.

Critical Role Campaign Three
Fandom specific DNWS: Permanent deaths of Laudna, Vex, Imogen, Dorian, FCG, Joe, or Ashton. Rape/noncon between Laudna/Dorian, Laudna/Dorian/Imogen, or Fresh Cut Grass/Imahara Joe.
Crossovers/AUs: I'm into roleswap AUs, class swaps, What Ifs, pirate AUs, sci-fi AUs, and superhero AUs.
Laudna & Vex'ahlia
Laudna/Vex'ahlia
Wow there's a lot going on here. Shippy or gen, I'm super curious about if they had more time together to talk. Laudna was picked because she resembled Vex, there's all sorts of guilt and anger and grief mixed up for them because of that. Also into an AU where Vex finds Laudna in the woods and helps her.
Laudna/Dorian Storm. They didn't have long to interact, but the combo of spooky former-peasant woman and easily-flustered nobleman? Just really got to me. This could also be fun as an AU or What If meeting scenario.
Laudna/Dorian Storm/Imogen Temult. Laudna and Imogen seem so closely attached. I feel like whatever's going on between them, sharing Dorian between them would feel right. Maybe Dorian angles for one before learning they're a package deal, maybe they team up to seduce him together.
Delilah Briarwood & Laudna
Delilah Briarwood/Imogen Temult
Delilah Briarwood/Imogen Temult/Laudna
Delilah Briarwood/Laudna
Would love to see this before the CR3 episode 38 confrontation, or perhaps afterwards if Delilah didn't fully vanish. Could be Laudna trying to hide this from Imogen, or agreeing to share so long as Delilah doesn't harm her, or weird body-sharing consciousness shenanigans. Maybe a dark AU where Imogen is also a warlock to Delilah?
Fresh Cut Grass/Imahara Joe. These two were just plain fun together. Would love to see them go on a date, or a series of dates. What would a relationship between them look like? What about an AU where Joe fixed FCG up after the traveling trader came by? I'm extremely into robot ethics so feel free to go philosophical with this one.
Ashton Greymoore/Jiana Hexum. This leans into dubious consent scenarios fast. Perhaps there's another way Ashton can work off that debt. Bonus points for Jiana messing with their mind/memories/head trauma. If you don't wanna go that dark, maybe a mutually beneficial arrangement between these two characters in the crime world of the city.
Ashton Greymoore/Percy
Ashton Greymoore/Percy/Vex'ahlia
There was some VERY interesting energy going on there. I'd love to see that explored, if not in the canon timeline then some kind of AU.

Critical Crossovers
Fandom specific DNWS: Permanent deaths of any requested characters. Percy cheating on Vex (if he's hooking up with someone, he should have Vex's consent.) Rape/noncon between any requested ships.
Crossovers/AUs: I'm into roleswap AUs, class swaps, What Ifs, pirate AUs, sci-fi AUs, and superhero AUs.
Percy/Caleb Widogast
Percy/Vex'ahlia/Caleb Widogast
I'm into this idea either as Percy, with or without Vex, having a time with this handsome younger man. Maybe an AU where they meet during Caleb's vagabond era. Maybe post CR2 when Caleb is at a diplomatic function? I think Percy would see a lot of the traumatic backstory written on Caleb's face, and Vex would have a soft spot for a bit of a scoundrel/thief type.
Shaun Gilmore/Caleb Widogast. I just want to see these two together and what would happen. Maybe Gilmore catches Caleb trying to steal from his store? Maybe Caleb is shopping post CR2 and they start to flirt? Maybe an AU where Caleb ends up apprenticed/working at the shop while on the run?

First Trick or Treaters!!!
Oct. 31st, 2022 08:12 pmThey were so adorable. Such a joy. I didn't get what half of them were so I guess I'm a real adult now. There was a little baby being carried by their parents who looked so confused. There were kids who just used their backpacks for candy.
This is my favorite holiday and I'm so happy to get to participate in this part of it.
