Does Critical Role Count As TV? I Watch It. CR And DA: Veilguard? Matt's In Both, That's Already A Crossover.

I desperately want more information about this!

Taash: Why are Emmrich and Rook standing facing away from each other? Harding: They had an argument. Taash: But they're still holding hands? Harding: They both get sad when they fight.

"Why are there so many dragons to fight?!" I mumble, exasperated, as I play the latest installment in a franchise entitled DRAGON AGE.

OH so when the Dread Wolf uses the lives of spirits to advance HIS cause, everyone forgives HIM, but when *I*, Johanna Hezenkoss—

I understand the controls better on my second run, it's not quite as bad.

Hard agree on sensitive horns. It doesn't make sense to me. I will admit to have added purr-like moments to my fics, but they're more because I like the idea of low and rumbly chest noises, not necessarily purrs.

I'm not a big fan of overly sensitive tails, even the bases, but you want to hear my controversial take? Tiefling tails ARE NOT PREHENSILE! Having tails that function like a full fifth limb really takes me out of the story.

Please don't be mean to me about this 😅 It's a sincere request and I still love that everyone is having fun with all of this.

I mean no shade or nastiness towards the people who write these things or are into these things, and I'm not trying to be the fun police. Do you and have fun! But, like...

Can I get some tiefling fanfic that doesn't talk about their "sensitive horns" or how they "purr"?

The horns thing moreso. It takes me right out of it every time. Which sucks because there are so many awesome fics out there, that wind up doing this thing, and then my brain kind of checks out.

As a fanfic writer, myself, I get that fics are usually written primarily for the writer, and I totally appreciate that fact. And as such, I'd honestly just write it, myself (like I did for the lack of Dwight Fairfield {Dead by Daylight} stuff) instead of asking the community at large, but I'm so burnt out I haven't been able to work on anything on my current list, and I've been living off of the incredibly talented people writing for Rolan and Zevlor in particular. Seriously, you are all so wonderful and your work has been a bright spot for me right now during a majorly difficult time I've been going through ❤️

Although I read someone on a different site say that tiefling horns could be viewed like goat horns because devils and goats are so often associated with each other, their horns seem to be a lot more like ram horns. This is an important distinction because goat horns have important nerves inside of the horn, whereas rams don't.

If a goat breaks a horn, not only is it incredibly painful, but they can bleed out and die. Rams, not so much.

Tieflings are shown to not only have broken horns (i.e. Karlach) in both D&D and BG3, but filing the horns down is also an option tieflings can take... Which means that there aren't nerves inside of the horn. If there were, at best, something like that would be unimaginably painful. At worst, they could die from it. And considering tiefling children can straight up break off a horn and grow it back, it's even more highly unlikely that that's the case.

If there aren't nerves in the horn, they can't feel it if you stroke the horn, or graze it with your fingers, etc.

I know we all wanna write steamy sex scenes and such—and, again, because tone is so often lost in text, I don't mean this as something mean or eye-rolly—but not everything needs to be an erogenous zone. Besides, horns can still be grabbed and used as handlebars! That's super sexy!!!

As for the purring, or other Infernal traits that get written similarly, like I said, that's way less a thing for me. But they're not Tabaxi and were originally made from humans whose blood and bodies were altered by making deals with Asmodeus. It's why tieflings can only be born of two tieflings, a human and a tiefling, or two humans with infernal blood.

Again, if you're into this, or write this, I'm not trying to tell you to stop lmao. It's just that this is everywhere and I'd like some variety that takes these things into account 😅

if you'd rather read on ao3, look no further!

METASTABLE. Ch. 1 Ch. 2

metastable: "(of a state of equilibrium) stable provided it is subjected to no more than small disturbances." Or, " theoretically unstable but so long-lived as to be stable for practical purposes." He's fine and cordial and perfectly polite. Of course, that's until he meets Rook.

THE BATTLE OF WORMWOOD. Ch. 1

"It has to be Bellara who snitched. With her penchant for knee jerks and quick answers. Thoughts from the heart. Secrets run through her and the truth gets strained and filtered, however lovely her smile may seem. She’s also the only one who knows about the two of them, and knows Mr. and Mrs. Mommy and Daddy." Or: Rook's parents now know she's seeing someone and demand she bring him to dinner.

DELIRIUM.

She's an angel, he's a dog. Or, the confessions of a white tenured male. Contains: smut, brief mentions of corpses.

MISDIRECTION. Ch. 1 Ch. 2

He's a hopeless romantic and she's just hopeless. Or, the sugar daddy au you've been waiting for.

My IRL husband has done this and yes, it's absolutely as hot as you think it's going to be.
