@ridesbymelanieb So the other day, one of my future brides asked what made me decide to work primarily with brides. It was the first time someone pointedly asked that question, and I had to think about it, because I couldn’t articulate it at the time. .
.
In a nutshell, do you see the way my bride @eboogie29 AND her husband are beaming?!! I mean they are literally CHEESING 😍and he is even pumping his fists like he hit a home run! (Which he did 😉)Their love and joy is UNDENIABLE. I do what I do because I get to play a little a part in that type of joy! Which in turn, brings me joy! Many times, I get a chance to get to know my couples and build a relationship as I am taking the journey with them. Sometimes, I may only meet the groom to be once, but in those moments, I watch them together! The little giggles, the little stares, oh how I love, love!
Being able to make a bride feel like she is the Queen of Sheba as she presents herself to her man, and the guests at her wedding, is a big deal! If she looks and feels amazing, then my job is DONE, and is a direct contribution to her overall feeling the entire day. What an honor and a blessing. .
Gravity Falls, proof that you can have an emotional, heartbreaking, heartfelt, amazing story without killing any characters. Other shows/stories, take note. Killing isn’t always necessary, if you are only doing it to make someone cry or to make it more “real” or “edgy” you are doing it wrong.
You’ve forgotten, they did kill one character. A kind character, who heroically sacrificed himself for the sake of his community, and met a tragic, heartbreaking end.
Why’s it always a goddamn mad wizard? I want to see other classes build dungeons.
The mad fighter’s dungeon, which is a tactical nightmare of Tucker’s Kobold proportions.
A mad sorcerer’s dungeon, which is like a wizard dungeon but she has to make it using only 15 spells so it’s kind of predictable and crap.
A mad bard’s dungeon, which is that giant floor piano from Big but as a puzzle. And there’s just a gynosphinx dishing out lame riddles. Ad naseum.
A barbarian’s dungeon, which is just a hole in the ground with spikes. And he’s just there.
A mad thief’s dungeon is one where you think you know what to expect - whirring blades, narrow walkways, treasure chests rigged to explode. But it seemed like a pretty bland dungeon at first - just endlessly curving passageways carved into rock with the occassional security spell to bypass. It was weird, but nothing that an entire party of adventurers would have trouble with.
You break through the steel wall encasing what you thought was the mastermind’s lair, and realise that the thief isn’t there - it’s the city bank’s vault!
Your spells and weapons have carved a path from the dungeon entrance out in the woods all the way here, and the mad thief has been making Hide checks every few minutes to stealth alongside the party every step of the way, emerging only to claim the loot for themselves. The treasure vanishes before your very eyes, just in time for the bank’s guards to open the vault and see your party awkwardly standing around.
A theif’s dungeon would be the worst. The one who goes in and disarms the traps? Yeah, that’s the guy that knows how to make the traps impossible to disarm, the locks uncrackable, the poison darts murderous.
I couldn’t come up with a thief’s dungeon joke, because every other class is a tresspasser in the dungeon. The rogue is the dungeoneer. It’s the ol’ briar patch, and if you hear of a dungeon made by a retired assassin or thief, do not go near it.
The mad Druids dungeon- It’s just a hell forest. No paths, no markers, no way to find were anything is besides remembering which tree you’ve past and unless you know the forest by heart or can ask that sparrow for directions good luck. Even if you could speak to them, the druid has been spreading rumors amoungst the wildlife that you and your party have come to destroy their home, so all the wild beast are hostile and you’re too busy being chased by wolves and bears to find your way around.
I don’t know what the mad monk’s dungeon looks like but the monk looks like this
This is a really good point to bring up because monks tend to opperate in ways so outside the norm for most D&D classes that dungeon made by a high-level monk for a high-level monk would be exhausting for anyone else to deal with. Hope you have full-party spider-climb or flight, you unenlightened chucklefucks
hes just chilling in his zen garden, you say ‘hi’ and then he starts punching you while reciting koan
