Similarities between Blake Brockington and Leelah Alcorn

1. They were both Transgender.

2, They were both rejected by their families. (Blake was in fostercare because his family kicked him out)

3.  Their ages. (Blake had just turned 18, and Leelah was 17 turning 18)

4. They both commited suicide.

So explain to me why this well known Transgender activist, Blake Brockington, who raised thousands for charity and became the first black transgender homecoming king is getting almost no media attention. Leelah Alcorn trended across Twitter and Tumblr—even got her own Wikipedia page and article in People magazine. 

This is by no means a comparison or a contest for opression. But Blake Brockington deserves the same memorial Leelah Alcorn was given— if not more.  Three thousand to three hundred and sixty four( and that is including articles about him winning @ HOCO) .The only clear difference between them is his race. Preserve this young man’s life.

REST IN POWER KING, BLAKE BROCKINGTON.

Necrobotany is such a cool idea like:

  • druidic nature magic + necromancy
  • undead skeletons being supported by plant fibers to make up for missing muscles and ligaments so they can run instead of shamble
  • turning said skeletons into multi limbed monstrosities with vine arms
  • or piecing together bones and limbs with vines to make fleshier monsters
  • adding thorns or huge venus fly traps or poison onto minions
  • undead exploding into petals and leaves like a smokescreen, or infecting opponents with disease from pollen
  • suffocating opponents from the stench of rotten minions and corpse flowers

Roll for Seduction (Part 1)

yourplayersaidwhat:

Context: We’re on a gnome-built ship, trying to discover and get rid of whatever has been sinking their ships as soon as they leave the harbor. It turns out to be a couple of homebrew aboleths-on-steroids.

Early on, our elf rogue suggests seducing the tentacles (homebrew aboleths on steroids) just to see the DM’s reaction.

Many rounds later, while a tentacle is thrashing around through a hole in the cargo hold, our elf cleric decides to actually go for it.

Cleric: Do I know the mating call?

DM: No, you wouldn’t know it.

Monk: You do have the crown of languages though.

Cleric: Oh, right! I want to try to seduce it speaking its language.

DM: O…kay. Roll for persuasion.

Cleric: Okay, that’s a 17.

The DM looks kind of uncomfortable, and the whole group bursts into laughter.

DM: The tentacle calms down and kind of gently brushes your shoulder. Roll a constitution save.

Cleric: 6.

DM: You’re now diseased. Also it now wants you to follow it into the water. *makes a come-hither motion to approximate the tentacle’s movement*

*more group laughter*

She subsequently fails a wisdom saving throw, is charmed, and follows it. (Fortunately the disease leaves her able to breathe under water.)

Interviewer: You’re turning fifty this year–
Keanu: Oh yes, I am. 
Interviewer: How do you feel about growing older?
Keanu: It’s fantastic, glad to be here. 
Interviewer: You’re not worrying about aging, or–
Keanu: Of course, yeah, aging means death, yeah…I’m totally freaked out.
Interviewer: [Laughs] You don’t seem it.
Keanu: I am, but…you know, it’s okay.
