    u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnD

    u/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]

    Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

    Summary

    “That’s not my favorite.”

    “Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”

    Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.

    “Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”

    Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.

    Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.

    Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”

    Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

    Summary

    "She should have seen the signs sooner in hindsight.
    N hadn’t been his usual, cheerful self in weeks… and to say it was becoming concerning would have been the understatement of the century."

    It was hard to watch.
    Uzi's patience could only extend so far; seeing the person she loved most suffering with something he uncharacteristically refused to share with her. So when N finally comes to her with a painful burden, and she realises the true extent of the damage the past has done to him, Uzi resolves to do everything in her power to alleviate his suffering.

    Summary

    Mike's been touching Will, sleeping in the same bed, playing D&D but only the two of them, and calling him beautiful. Will Byers is losing his mind.

    Season 5 rewrite (byler, henderhop, steddie) where Will has a gun, Mike becomes a vampire, and the dead are brought back to life to be kissed. Vecna has also decided to play a horrifyingly real game of D&D.

    “Hey, look, I’m on my knees, and I’m asking, El, please, I’m asking you, tell me what’s wrong.”

    Her fingers are claws, and she stretches them forcefully so they are straight. She will not be upset. There are words she can say to make him stop talking. There are things she can do.

    1. Throw him across the room with her mind.

    2. Show him Will’s sketch-paper.

    3. Ask why Strahd has a boyfriend.

    These are all stabby things that will stab Mike. So she says, “I like Dustin. I kissed him, and I like him better.”
