The Ending Of D20 Fantasy High Junior Year Was Disappointing To Me In Some Ways (the Bits Were Great,

The ending of D20 Fantasy High Junior Year was disappointing to me in some ways (the bits were great, I just felt like there was a lot of squandered potential narratively). Luckily this beautiful AMV fills my heart, single-handedly making the season narratively worthwhile as well, and in only two minutes. If you haven't watch (all of) FHJY yet, I think the AMV is evocative enough that you can watch it without being spoiled for FHJY, just don't expect this level of emotional resolve from the season heh (but again, the bits were phenomenal, just go in with the right expectations).

love me. love me. love me.

I usually don’t reblog things, but I guess the start of my Tumblr career beyond lurking has to happen sometime and what better moment than this post by @geraltsbeard who kindly told me more about their OCs! Generally, I don’t get attached to characters through images alone, but @geraltsbeard OCs are so visually appealing I immediately wanted to know more about them.

They gave the above lore dump about two months ago, after I asked about more info, thanks so much for the lore dump and sorry for the million years it took to respond! I love them and the overall plot sounds like something I would love to read. Especially the idea that Aedan is questing to be able to settle down really speaks to me. It reminds me of the motivation of the hobbits in LotR, although the curse makes it very different as well, since he’s not protecting his home by going on the quest, he’s looking for a way to be able to create a home somewhere. Such a cool idea imo. Varah is just, my ideal protagonist in so many ways, I’m a sucker for these kinds of characters.

The original image that got me interested by the way, was the two of them bathing. A fantasy adventure with two people that love each other dearly traveling together appealed to me already, but the fact that it’s platonic makes me so happy. I think the original image that caught my attention also conveys the relationship you described here perfectly. In short, I can’t wait to see more of them whenever you feel like making more! 

BIG LORE DUMP about my OCs under the cut in case anyone wants to know more about them hehe :3

As amusing as this train (ha) of thought is, I’d like to add that the Trolley Problem isn’t so much about who’s fault it is that people died, but about the best course of action when in a situation where you have to choose between two evils. In this situation would it be bad to intervene and by doing so condemning others?

Keeping with The Good Place references, I’d like to imagine this post as op standing on the trolley screaming: ‘Who designed this trolley without an emergency break!’ while driving over five people.

Hey so the trolley problem is dumb because the real person at fault for any of the deaths is the person who designed the trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who put in the purchase order for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who approved a PO for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who delivered a trolley without an emergency braking system, the organization that inspected and certified a trolley without an emergency braking system,and the operator who did not make a huge stink about being assigned to a trolley without an emergency braking system.

Whether you pull the lever is irrelevant, because a whoooole mess of people fucked up for you to be in that hypothetical situation.

Seriously, like, as a professional engineer, I find the premise of the trolley problem offensive. Cause like, so many safety regulations have been violated that it's just... insane.

Yes brain, thank you.

Yes, I am petty.

Also, apparently bread is bad for ducks. Peas are a healthy alternative, but let’s be honest, we wouldn’t ask the genie for brocolli either.

(also, duck art is a populair tag and it makes me very happy)
