How do you walk the line between not wanting to impose on the host and understanding they want the space to show their hospitality?

When accepting a favor would impose a financial burden, I usually push back twice and then relent. (1) "Are you sure, I can absolutely get this?" (2)"It's really not a problem, I don't mind paying." If they're still insisting at this point, I'll pack down, especially if it's obvious they're trying to do a nice thing.

I used to be more reluctant to accept that sort of help from folks, but there's a quote from the Thomas Covenant series that goes something like "in accepting the gift, one honors the giver." It's kinda stuck with me since I read it; let people give you gifts, it makes them feel good. Graciously accept, and think about how to pay it forward/back.

what are your silly character ideas?

I'm actually very proud if this one. I made a Kenku warlock for a one shot whose background was that he had previously been an actor in a traveling troupe that performed "The Great Wars of the Astral Plane." Being a Kenku, he only spoke in quotes from the play, which he mimicked perfectly.

For the entire night, I only communicated via Star Wars soundboard. It was glorious.

His name? Ujheddye the Fourth. "I am Uhjeddye (a jedi)...like my father before me."

Finished my Hogwarts House themed set

Yeah I'm real pleased with the results. Took me awhile to get the process down, if I poured right after mixing the colors just sorta blended together. I ended up mixing both colors, letting the resin sit for like 40 minutes, and then pouring. Kept them distinct while still allowing them to flow well enough
