Just had to block a bunch of aphobes so friendly reminder that,

✨Asexuals/Aromantics belong in the LGBTQ+ community✨

✨Cishet Ace/Aros belong in the LGBTQ+ community; They are still Ace/Aro✨

✨Aphobia is real and Ace/Aros experience their own oppression✨

✨Children are allowed to identify as Ace/Aro, and you’re incredibly fucking stupid to think that minors can’t expirence sexual attraction or lack of✨

✨Asexuals who do engage in sexual activities are perfectly valid; There’s a difference between having attraction to something and engaging in something✨

✨Stop assuming all Asexuals are virgins✨

✨Stop being a nasty fucking exclusionist and learn about Ace/Aro history✨

That is all 🥰

a sand castle-building contest gone terribly astray: the day after the event, one of the sand castles has grown to the size of a real castle. the party may be charged with determining the cause, rescuing a wayward child that ventured inside, or simply recovering any treasure to be found within its sandy walls.

a limestone cliff cave system inhabited by lizardfolk or kobolds, who have enlisted the party’s help with something–perhaps dealing with their “neighbors” deeper underground, resolving a territorial dispute with a black dragon, or excavating something dangerous they found while exploring the innermost burrows.

a lighthouse, abandoned with time after a newer lighthouse was built nearer to town. the party may be camping there to escape bad weather, resolve the report of ghostly screams from the area, or hear rumors of the old lighthouse-keeper’s buried treasure amassed from old wrecks.

a low tide where the local bay has been drained of water, revealing several sunken ships–the mission may be to get treasure or capture pirates that fled there to hide from the law.

people going missing in the sand dunes–the dunes shift and change, but surround what appear to be underground tunnels, and entrances and exits appear and disappear.

an offshore drilling rig has been destroyed or sabotaged. the mission objective might be to determine what they were drilling for, rescue any survivors, or recover important documents from the wreckage, all while evading the mysterious cause of the destruction. Spooky Points if the rig is partially made of glass.

I want to try something...

Reblog if you think that it’s entirely possible to have a loving romantic relationship without sex.

(I mean, obviously it is, but I want to see others opinions.)

some dnd backstory ideas that give your character a reason to leave home that isn’t “everyone in my family died.” (just to say: i have nothing against those backstories (i use them a lot), but its fun to mix it up!)

family/friends/personal

• someone close to you is sick. you need to adventure to find a cure
• someone stole something important from you and you need to find it
  
• you’ve received a message from a long lost relative and are trying to find them
  
• someone that you love has been kidnapped (maybe you have to earn money to pay a ransom or complete some deed…)
  
• adventuring runs in the family! everyone is expected to complete one quest in their lives
  
• your family/culture sends people out to complete certain tasks when they reach a certain age as a rite of passage
• another player’s character saved you in the past so you feel indebted to them and travel with them, protecting/aiding them
  
• there’s a magical drought in your hometown and you have to fix it
  
• your hometown doesn’t have a lot of jobs so you have to travel and send money back home
  
• some childhood friends and you made a “scavenger hunt” where you try and complete a checklist of certain tasks (ie. defeat a barbarian in hand to hand combat, steal x amount of gold, slay a dragon, etc) in an allotted amount of time
  

quests/jobs

• a god/patron has sent you on a quest to do something for them
• you’ve been hired by someone to complete a task (and you get sucked into the big adventure along the way)
• you’re on a quest for knowledge. maybe it’s to learn the best ways of fighting, maybe it’s something more academic related
• your priest received a vision from your god and they sent you on a quest
• you’re writing a book about the world and different cultures and you need first hand experience
• you’ve found every map you’ve come across is shitty, so you decide to become a cartographer and make your own
• you’re a detective who helps solve crimes and need to travel to solve a particular case
• you’re a collector of a certain object and travel across the land to find it
• you’re apart of an adventuring academy and have to complete a quest to graduate
• you’re an artisan and you travel with your wares, trying to sell them. alternatively, you’re trying to spread word of your business and gain new business partners
• you worked at a tavern your whole life where an old bard would sing songs of their adventuring party and that inspired you to go and do some adventuring of your own
  

feel free to add some of your own!

you just learned how shitty the world is and damnit somebody’s gotta fix it

you did something embarrassing and need to get the hell out of dodge

you’re taking a gap year

your arch nemesis is dying and you need to call them a bitch one last time before you go

hrt is free in a certain monastery

you met your significant other on fantasy tinder but they live across the kingdom

you’ve heard humans have this thing called “djinn Der” and you want to know what that’s all about

resume building

you’re adventuring to save up enough money to hire a wizard to cast True Polymorph on you because you wanna be a dragon, damnit

your friend got super drunk and stumbled into a random teleportation circle and you were the only sober one at the party so you have to go find them

you want that super powerful dude’s sword and will do anything to get it

you wanna get swole by hitting lots of different things with very large hammers

you want to prove the arrogant bard who told that super incorrect story in your tavern wrong by bringing them the evidence yourself

you read someone’s biography and want to imitate their life ultra-fan style

you found a message in a bottle asking you on a date

you want to find somewhere where your allergies will be less annoying but no one knows where that is so you have to find it for yourself

you really really want to see a volcano

you heard about another culture’s food and are desperate to try it

you’re interning with/shadowing a professional adventurer before you set off on your own

spite

^^^ Really like the spite one so here’s some more detailed specifics pertaining to it:

• Your magic/craft is really unconventional and no one thinks it’s useful so you head out on an adventure to prove them all wrong
• You made a bet with your sibling/friend that you can find and kill a dragon/some other big monster
• Honestly any bets of unlikely magnitudes are very fun
• Your (possibly ex) god/patron told you a problem can only be solved one way and you don’t want to do it that way and you think there’s another way so hey, guess who’s being a rebellious child?
• There’s a legendary recipe (potion or legitimately baking/cooking) that requires incredibly rare, hard-to-procure ingredients and no one thinks it’s possible to be made. Guess who’s doing it
• Yeah sure everyone may think the world is bleh but that doesn’t mean you’re not gonna go and and spread kindness to counter it
• Or maybe you think the world needs… less good. Maniacal laughter time
• Spite is very fun

• boredom

Backpacking around Fantasy Europe while taking a gap year, got a bit carried away.
