so
when we slew a bulette, I got one of its scales as a trophy. Since I recently multiclassed into barbarian, the +2 bonus of having a shield and no other armor makes up for no longer wearing chainmail. We're at the trade fair, where there's a blacksmith who'd convert it to a shield, BUT for 50 GP.
there is a wrestling competition where I could win that money. And as long as we're doing this I want to do this right, and with an NPC's help, I'm getting a mask made.
SOY LA ORCO VERDE!

currently inspired to relisten to the Korngold music for the Errol Flynn version. When you think about it, Robin saving a family from a concentration camp is in character, even if it doesn't play out in the classical fashion.
also as regards Korngold, I feel that if there *is* a Global Jewish Conspiracy, it is, ironically, about popularizing the works of Richard Wagner.
mh - personal
turns out being trained that I have to prove my worth and, the convenience of using me but inconvenience of actually really doing anything in return, means I never get to feel I've successfully proven myself worthy, stacks badly with aging and feeling I fail to accomplish either the societal valued stuff (which, again, they were never going to actually reward me - this is largely about assumption rather than maliciousness) or what I actually wanted to do because I was too busy trying to survive... which fits into the trauma messages about being stuck, trapped and treading water.
Lucky for me, I know that existential worries at 4 AM thanks to broken sleep are about as helpful and valid as existential worries at 1 PM thanks to running low on energy.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
