oh no he’s hot
When the DM says something like “The room appears to be empty” or “so you touch the object?”
Fun DM tip: always do that. Even if it really is empty or nothing will happen. Really helps curb meta gamming and can get some funny reactions. My favorite is asking how they open the door or asking “so you just stand in front of it and open it normally” then suddenly they’re trying to describe a totally abnormal way of opening a door that doesnt involve them being in front of it
niko thats mean
When my players roll a bad perception check I like to say, “there *seems* to be nothing there.” Especially if there is actually nothing there.
This is a PSA
Stormy Weather 2 was a good episode and here’s why (Spoilers ahead):
- While there was a ton of old footage used, it serves a great purpose in showing what is internally important to each character. This is especially needed because we see most of the show following Marinette. This episode is not about the Akuma, it’s about character growth and the flashbacks show how they are learning from past mistakes, and sets the stage for a lot of important things to happen soon in the season.
- Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that it has been confirmed that Emilie Agreste is not actually dead so I’m bringing it up: Emilie Agreste is not dead. Nathalie said that she slowly fell into an eternal sleep. This could possibly be a result of the damage to the peacock miraculous.
- Nathalie is still affected by her transformation into Mayura, this can lead to a variety of different future plot points, including her fate being similar to Emilie’s.
- Nooroo calls Gabriel out on his lack of affection toward his son. This could lead to future plot points.
- Marinette makes a real effort to get more comfortable around Adrien. This shows how she is growing as a character and really sets up for some good things to happen in future episodes.
- The DjWifi scene where they reflect on how they met and got together was so important. It shows us how Hawkmoth’s appearance has really changed the lives of each person in Paris, not just Adrien and Marinette.
- The Akuma attack was shown following regular citizens instead of the heroes. We haven’t seen an attack from this perspective before. We usually don’t think much of it, Ladybug and Chat Noir will always save the day, after all, but in this episode we see the fears of those who live average lives and it’s incredibly important.
- Adrien almost grows a brain cell and figures out that Mari likes him, almost. While it is extremely frustrating that his ultimate conclusion is that she’s just a friend who’s into fashion, it’s still important because he brings it up as a possibility and gets his mind off of Ladybug.
- In Conclusion: Stop bitching about this episode barely having any new content because it has a ton. It brings a whole new perspective into the picture and sets up for an amazing, plot and growth filled season.
this was possibly the worst version of “she’s just a friend” we have had yet
he was so close
so close

One of my favorite animation stories is when Disney hired a group of female animators to work on Snow White and like this was a huge deal, it was Snow White, it was going to be the very first full-length American animated movie, it would go on to win a special Oscar designed just for it (they didn’t know that at the time of production, obviously, but this is how groundbreaking the movie was). And obviously this was back in the 1930s so everything was hand-drawn and hand-inked but…because they had the actual physical cels right there in front of them, they could put whatever they wanted to on the paper, I don’t know about you all, but I feel like I definitely take that for granted. You think ‘pencil, ink, paints’ and that’s it. And apparently Walt Disney had that mindset too because he was confused by the texture of the makeup on Snow White’s face and so he asked his female animators and they were just like, “Sir, we used our actual makeup” like these animators actually did Snow White’s makeup which is mind-blowing enough but then you realize that there were over 250,000 cels in Snow White and okay, sure, only a fraction of those cels actually featured a closeup of Snow but it’s still insane to think that we’re looking at somebody’s real blush here (once you see it, you can’t un-see it):
Animation, man.
