15ish character builder questions for Rivulet Brook - part 3

My DM sent us these 50 character builder questions for your tabletop character by Ginny Di and I'm going to answer them 15ish at a time for both of my characters, but now I'm answering for Rivulet Brook (and answering in the first person).

  1. Do you love or hate being alone? I think I love being alone in a group of people--I love to people watch and listen in, but I'd hate to be alone with no one around
  2. What’s the last nightmare you remember having? A series of violent and dark images as to what could've happened to my parents
  3. Do you admit to mistakes when you make them? I'm inclined not to, but I will
  4. Do you want to grow up to be like your parents? I don't know as I never knew them
  5. How do you deal with being sick? Are you stoic, or super whiny? I express my feelings through my lyre
  6. What did your parents expect from you when you were born? I'll never know
  7. Do you have a strong sense of style? Yes, but my limited budget means I have to mostly just keep myself nicely
  8. Would you rather camp outdoors or stay the night in an inn? Night in an inn--I can play my lyre and people watch
  9. Is there a food that most people like that you absolutely hate? I don't think I had much of a chance to be picky
  10. Are you more of a hoarder or a minimalist? Minimalist--it's how I was raised
  11. Are you superstitious? Yes. It's important to think about where our water and the goods we get from water. I always say a prayer before consuming or interacting with water or the oods we get from it
  12. Are you the kind of person who remembers people’s birthdays and pets’ names and stuff? Absolutely--what town gossip can't keep such things straight?
  13. What do you do to feel better when you’re sad? Play my lyre
  14. Is it hard for you to trust someone? Somewhat, I know everyone has secrets
  15. Are you susceptible to peer pressure? Not really--I didn't become a temple priest after all
  16. If you decided to stop adventuring and settle down, what kind of job would you take? A musician
  17. As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? As a small kid, I wanted to be a Geshtai priest, but I grew out of this as I yearned for more

(Prompt by me/one of my DMs/Ginny Di)

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
