Since It's A Fantasy World We Are Talking About, He Could Also Be An Ancient Rome Style Magistrate -

since it's a fantasy world we are talking about, he could also be an ancient Rome style magistrate - so an elected government official of.. some kind.

I had no idea that this word has it's uses in modern day English, so when I first heard him say it, my first thought was that he's a politician

If playing bg3 has taught me anything, it's that a lot of people don't know the difference between Magiatrates and Lawyers.

Astarion says he used to be a magistrate in the city. Not a lawyer. He wasn't the one speaking to a judge on behalf of someone, HE WAS THE JUDGE.

The definition of magistrate is a civil officer or lay judge who administers the law, especially one who conducts a court that deals with minor offenses and holds preliminary hearings for more serious ones.(literally copy and pasted that definition from the dictionary)

He's not a "Your honor, respectfully, you weren't even there"

He's a "ew, this is so cringe, guilty"

Am I insane or is Homestuck greatly influenced by the Book of the New Sun?

Tags

homestuck book of the new sun like aliens travelling back in time to meet a guy who is clueless but does things of cosmic significance paired with a cycle of restoring humanity after apocalypses and to lesser extent but lore delivered in a form of seemingly unrelated tangents? I'm either dumb for seeing the connection or dumb for noticing it so late not to mention an author as a part of fiction and characters casually returning from the dead

I guess mother Russia gave me at least some trust issues

Because I just found myself at 4:00 being sad that I'll eventually have to stop being friends with all my friends because they will probably end up transphobic or something

It doesn't help that I already know that they are not homophobes. They are actually all queer. (We only found it out by accident after playing dnd for half a year, no one asked, no one mentioned it)

The fact that they know that my gf is former trans activist doesn't help either

In my head everyone that didn't explicitly state their support for some minority group is against this group and it's too dangerous to ask

nah I'm probably sad just because I just fucked up 3 out of 4 books that I was binding not because I need a therapist or something you can't pay for therapy with books anyway

The other half is fangirling over that one NPC and not being able to share it with anyone because my players aren't even supposed to know the NPC's name this early in the story

Half of my experience as a GM is running a 5e adventure every once in a while only to realize "ahhh so thaaaat's why I haven't touched this absolute brain frying machine of a system in a year, I should remember not to touch it with a 10 foot pole ever again"

But then I let people on the internet gaslite me into thinking that 5e is not THAT much harder then OSR and the cycle continues
