Writing with Banshee: LARP Fic

Writing is my full time job, but my writing has a hobby…
That hobby comes with a bit of a confession. I LARP. And not only that, but I write fiction about those LARPS after the fact. 
Hold for applause, hold for booing, hold for confused noises…
LARP, for those of you who have blessedly not seen *this* is Live Action Role Play. Think like Dungeons And Dragons, but instead of using dice and a…

St Hugh of Lincoln is often depicted with a swan, because he was friends with a swan. The swan would follow Hugh around, eat from his hand, and reputedly attacked people who threatened his saintly human BFF. For this reason, the best pictures of St Hugh are the ones where the swan looks like it’s about to fuck you up. Like, massively.

MESS WITH ST HUGH AND HIS SWAN WILL END YOU.

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

Rest in Peace Daniel Licht. His award winning Dishonored soundtracks never bore me. I listen to them often at work and at home when I’m reading. Beautiful, haunting movie-quality music. Strings, bells, and light touches on the hammered dulcimer. This is my favorite game series so please take the time to listen and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. <3 :’(

EDIT: I’M SO EMBARRASSED. I wrote “David” instead of “Daniel.” Fixed!

The “HeartQuest” books were a series of choose your own adventure books set in the Dungeons and Dragons world, published by TSR, that were romance themed and aimed at girls. 

They wanted to make choose your own adventures to sell D&D stuff to the romance crowd. The books were not successful, but they did have some great art by Larry Elmore.

i think the best practical joke any video game pulled was Skyrim opening their game making you think the rebellion was this amazing noble cause against an oppressive government (as most fantasy universes frame it), but then you pretty much immediately find out that the stormcloaks are just racists with swords and the empire isn’t really all that terrible save your standard government problems. 

yall are gonna have to stop sending me messages about how im an imperial government of tamriel apologist

the greybeards aren’t any help either. or the blades. Skyrim is just a bunch of rednecks who hate each other.

THE DARK BROTHERHOOD WAS GOOD TO EVERYONE

they killed people for money

But at least they weren’t racist about it
