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

Summary
Mike grins so widely that he displays each one of his baby teeth. "Open it," he says. "It's a card. I made it for you."
When Will gingerly peels the birthday card open, Mike’s uneven handwriting is displayed across the page.
The p’s in happy are backwards, the y wobbly and curled at the end, and the k in Mike is also flipped the wrong way. The word birthday is etched in their kindergarten teacher’s steady print, and it seems like she'd also added the punctuation for him.
Happy birthday, Will!
Love,
Mike WOr: Will Byers' birthdays from age six to adulthood, told through cards from Mike.

Summary
“Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”
Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”
“He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”

Summary
Will got shitfaced drunk for the first time in his life, that night in the Village. It was good to feel loose, dizzy, to leave the lonely boy shivering in the woods behind for a few hours. It was even better to feel eyes on him, wandering hands on the dance floor—to feel wanted, seen. He didn’t quite remember how he got from the club to the guy’s Chelsea apartment, but he remembered the rest. Hands, lips, muscled biceps. The pain, the stretch, the aching pleasure. The pre-dawn cab ride home. It was a wholly decent first time, all things considered. He told himself that in the dark, cold days that followed, hiding away in the studio, furiously working, avoiding all his new friends. The guy was nice; he used a condom, Will was 95% sure. Weeks passed. Will didn’t get sick. And the next time he picked up the phone and heard Mike’s voice on the other end of the line, he went out and did it again.

Summary
“I can’t wait to die in your arms,” Richie says, and then swoons so dramatically that Eddie has to catch him.
“I think you technically die in mine,” Stan says dryly. “Wait, no—”
Richie launches himself at Stan and the two of them almost go down in a tangle of limbs. “What do you think the odds are that we’ll make it to opening night in one piece?” Bev asks Eddie, conversationally.
“Less than zero,” Eddie says, and he pushes Richie through the door so they can all get in the goddamn theater.

Summary
It’s the end, the chills whisper, sweeping around his ears. So close now.
Will helplessly lifts his hand to his neck, wishing he could press the reflex out of existence. It feels like he’s seen a pencil rolling off a table, moving too fast to catch as it teeters on the precipice. He can only watch the weight tip over the edge, tumbling down, down, down—

Summary
Will ignores a timid reply from his classmate, his focus fully on this strange interloper that could be his best friend’s twin.
Evil twin, as Dustin would say, his voice low and incriminating. Ultraman type shit. Will considers relaying the situation on their upcoming weekly call to make the current situation less unsettling.
The guy is cautiously smiling back now – a reflection of Will’s unconscious expression at the thought of Dustin’s clarification – and it doesn’t falter, even once Will loses his amusement. Instead, the grin widens, almost too big for his face and definitely too big for Mike’s usual range of expression. His eyebrows rise above the rim of his lenses.

All that’s on repeat in Andrew’s head is a repeating reassurance. You’re alive. You’re alive. You’re alive. He tries the words on his tongue, mouthing them silently.
There’s a possible way out of tragedy, sometimes.

Summary
“No, but really. If I were a girl,” Mike presses on, looking up at Will with red-rimmed eyes through dark lashes. Leaning in. Somehow, fully unaware that this line of questioning has Will's heart climbing up to his throat. “Would you want to kiss me?”
Will and Mike get high in the desert.

Summary
“Woah,” Will whispers to himself incredulously, laughing a little under his breath as he shuffles through the pages of the letter again. He can’t help but admire the smooth, off-white stationery, its pleasant weight in his hands. A serious-looking “MJW” watermark adorns the top of each page, totally at odds with the entertaining missive and its author’s garbled cursive. Will laughs quietly to himself again. What sixteen-year-old boy on earth has monogrammed stationery?
Michael J. Wheeler, apparently. Where did Max find this guy?
Mike Wheeler is insecure, even by normal teenage standards. So when his friend, Max, connects him with her old friend from California, he's surprised by how easily they get along. But as the weeks wear on, their letters grow increasingly personal, and they make plans to embark on a week-long trip, Mike can't let go of one inconvenient, anxiety-inducing thought: What if he wants to be more than friends?

Summary
"What if we left right now?"
Andrew looks over at Neil. He's tying knots in the strings.
Andrew doesn't need to ask him to elaborate --he knows Neil means the road trip. What if it started now? It would be stupid to leave now. No one would know.
Andrew pictures going back to Abby's, locking and locking the front door, going into the room with the squeaky fan, alone; waking up to the wrong sunlight.
Or he could leave right now in the middle of the night, driving on an open road, no sunlight. With Neil.
It feels more right than it should.
*This is Andrew's POV of what happens after the third book ends/a road trip with Neil. It's part 3 of the series, but you don't need to read the first parts to get it, I promise it's fluffier than it sounds, I just suck at these things*

Summary
Charles tried to pay attention, because Edwin was really upset, and Charles still didn’t understand why, and it seemed like this might be important. It was just, they’d been at this for a while, and Edwin kept asking him the same questions and not leaving him time to answer, so. His mind may have wandered a bit to how he would reinforce the next cricket bat.
His attention snapped back to the present when Edwin said, “This can’t happen. You can’t risk this, I can’t be the reason you risk it. You have to move on.”
“Move on?” Charles repeated blankly. “Move on from what?”
“From here, Charles!” Edwin shouted, suddenly furious again, suddenly shouting even though his eyes were filled with tears. “You have to go with Death! You have to leave!”
“I don’t want to go with Her,” Charles said, nonplussed.
“Fine, that’s your business, but you can’t keep hanging around me!” Edwin snapped.
Charles’ world suddenly tilted on its axis, sending everything askew. “I can’t?” he asked, his voice small, his heart wide open and exposed.Series
