New pinned post:
Hi, I’m Raven. I post about random nerd stuff, periodic salvos at bigots and fascists, and lots and lots of #Pathfinder and #Starfinder memes, recaps, pics, and memes. Not a swear-free zone—I’m not gratuitous with it, but when the situation calls for them, I’m not gonna shy away.

Funnily enough, when I posted this, I had completely forgotten that I was gonna be seeing “Fall Of the House Of Usher” (which Bastardhall’s lore takes several cues from) performed mere hours later. Wasn’t till the performers hit the “mirror-dark lake” that I was like, “Oh, yeah, that’s kinda funny!”

Spent my evening watching a phenomenal two-man (one actor, one onstage electric guitarist) performance of Poe’s “The Black Cat” and “Fall Of the House Of Usher”. In a cemetery. I dressed accordingly.

Raven, in front of a wrought-iron gate, at night. She’s wearing a grey tee with a raven silhouette (made out of the words of the poem), a black and grey cardigan with a creepy cemetery scene, and a black and red crossbody clutch styled to look like a book of The Raven (Yes, yes, it’s actually a poem, and maybe five or six pages long if you use a big font. You’re very smart. Now shut up.) Her transgender symbol necklace is visible below her collar, and if you look closely, you can see a black and silver ear cuff on her right ear. She looks very much the part of a Poe fangirl… or tbh, well, fanboy with a purse. But I wasn’t trying to femme it up anyway.

“I have a pleasure room. Do you want to see it?”

Two shelves in a bookcase. The top displays the pretty foil special editions of the Starfinder Second Edition Galaxy Guide, GM Core, and Player Core, resting atop some book I can’t quite recall. Next to them is a fuzzy blue Captain Concierge plush and the shiny Infinity Deck.
The shelf below it is Pathfinder-centric, with Sketch Cover versions of the four Core books, a Harrow Deck watched over by a grinning green goblin plushie, and then the Godsrain hardcover and the faux-leather, foil-embossed versions of the Kingmaker 2E books, and the Emerald Spire Superdungeon for First Edition.
It looks very swanky (and the shelves are positioned to be highly visible behind me in video calls, natch)

Nick Valentine was my fave of that or any Fallout game. Really wish I could’ve finished the Far Harbor quest line he’s involved with… but I just lost patience with those awful block-stacking puzzles.

Oh. That's not ominous or anything. 😅

Alghollthu Shells, long description about how these monsters bond to a biotech war machine.

A vanilla vodka cranberry sour and a Pumpkin Spice Waffle for a late lunch. Does this make me a basic white girl?

A reddish-orange drink in a tall glass, with a lemon slice on the edge, next to a tray with four overlapping quarters of a spice waffle, topped with pumpkin pie filling, whipped cream, white chocolate-dipped pretzels, and pumpkin and bat sprinkles.
I am the most basic of white girls.

Umm... the Kettlebelly clan and its various offshoots have a long tradition in the merchant transport business, and their members are highly coveted as caravan leaders both for their legitimate talents, and the shine of their impeccable reputations.
