I shot this back in 2021 but didn't get around to editing it until just now. Was fun but I wish I'd brought a better camera and shot a lot more footage.

Hecko hecko hecko everypony.

First things first: Ovarit has levels. rDrama is nothing if not an incoherent mishmash of the best (worst) parts of everywhere else on the internet so Aevann asked me how I feel about adding a leveling system to rDrama. I hated it at first and was dismissive of it because it's basically just truescore but with a "how do you fellow web 3.0 users look im gamified". On Ovarit, at least. But then I thought about it more and I got kind of excited. We can make it into something not shit here. Maybe? What would you like to see from a leveling system?

Badges, of course. Maybe shop discounts. Maybe gay little unlockable icons beside your name like for houses (and paypigs on WPD)? Titles in the style of Ruqqus? Loot (random awards/hats/coins/whatever) when you level up? Something else entirely? Brainstorm below, we'll go through them and see if any don't suck and then have more referendums if needed.

Second things second: It is the Year of the Chud. To make up for the decreased reach of /h/chudrama from homosexuals who won't unblock it, starting later today (probably, depends on Aevann's schedule), every thread in /h/chudrama will pay 8 coins per vote. Comments will pay 2 coins per vote. With the increased rate and overreach of chud purges, I am literally begging you to use /h/chudrama more. It's better there. Now it pays more. Seriously, unblock /h/chudrama and use it. You don't even need to chudpost there.

Third things third:

Wildcard thread. Regular Season MVP betting is still open. 7 games left Divisional (4), Conference (2), and Super Bowl (1).

Those 4 games are- Saturday 4:30 & 8 and Sunday 3:00 & 6:30

Why cant people stop brigading? Dude didn't even stream today yet this sub has been spammed by this bullshit today. Maybe you all should just go outside instead of constantly slandering someone else over a fricking video game. (37)

I respect Thor a ton. This just isn't a good look. Just accept blame and move on. It's a game. Why does Thor need to diffuse responsibility when he has stated the mage's blizzard ability and other tech are specifically there to save groups in dungeons? He knows about lvl 1 abilities saving mana. He knew he had a mana gem. He knew the group was trying to survive. Just say you made mistakes and move on. (-36)

Slandering? Really? Maybe you and Thor should learn to take a little criticism instead of Streisand effecting this drama. (-24)

Calling Thor a roach in WOW context is appropriate considering dude just ran. Obviously hate brigading and death threats isn't ok but none of that would've happened if Thor took accountability, didn't handle this drama in the worst way possible and didn't triple down despite being wrong.It's a classic example of Streisand effect in action. (-20)

The frick are you doing bro?The group had members who just woke up. They went in for a run completely unprepared and forgot all the items they needed to do the strat they wanted to do. They nearly wiped due to idiocy but escaped. A short while later, they went back in and AGAIN were unprepared and not paying any attention. They pulled 2 packs and the boss. At this point - the run was already fricked by the other players lack of competence.The call went out to run, again, and the group started to bail.Pirate was not wanting to get caught in the mess that an unprepared and unaware group had caused for a second time. Yes, he was also chatting and didn't call out the boss incoming, but it isn't a mages job to control where the tank pulls mobs to fight.While they fled, before it was clear they were completely screwed, the idiot druid started yelling asking "The frick are you doing bro", and calling people back to 'salvage' the fight. (He caused the healers death through this because of a ca... (6)

Dude. It's a fricking game. (6)

To be fair it's just a game doesn't work in this particular instance since it's wow HC. Idk if you know much about wow HC but it's an mmo that you decided to turn on perma death. Still takes dozens or hundreds of hours to get anywhere and you can lose all that in just a moment because other people made mistakes.It is crazy to me to play perma death in an mmo but it's fair to say you cant use "it's just a game" in this kind of situation. (-1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡🔘

Because this is a game culture he has grown up in and was shaped by. I do not understand why people are surprised. Thor comes across as a really cool guy when he's dealing with the business side of streaming, or his ferrets or anything else. He was a peepee in that dungeon, and probably a peepee in Eve ( I didn't play Eve). Plenty of people are kind of peepees in video games. This isn't uncommon, he's a good player and being a good player he gets a bit of an ego that he's a really good player. And then something goes wrong and he makes a bad call, and that bad call leads to two or three more bad calls. Someone in his guild is probably going to DM him when this cools down going "hey man, you were kind of a peepee for this" And that will be the end of this because this is a completely normal interaction in any hobby where you stress yourself out for fun.

In light of @HailVictory1776's recent diagnosis, maybe we can put the site to good use for once. Today is the fortuitously-timed start of the St. Peregrine Novena and that's good for him, your family, random cancer patients around the world, whatever you'd like to pray with intention for.

I'm thinking we'll do this every day at 1500 EST (it's current 2130). You're welcome to mention that you're participating below, or keep it to yourself, both are fine.

Will repost reminders every day.

!catholics and even !christians

Prayer here - https://www.praymorenovenas.com/st-peregrine-novena

Or if you'd prefer to stay on rDrama for some reason -

Sign of the Cross

Amen

Dear holy servant of God, St. Peregrine, we pray today for healing.

Intercede for us God healed you of cancer and others were healed by your prayers. Please pray for the physical healing of…

(Mention your intentions)

These intentions bring us to our knees seeking your intercession for healing.

We are humbled by our physical limitations and ailments. We are so weak and so powerless. We are completely dependent upon God. And so, we ask that you pray for us…

Pray for us, that we will not let sickness bring us to despair.

We know, St. Peregrine, that you are a powerful intercessor because your life was completely given to God. We know that in as much as you pray for our healing, you are praying even more for our salvation.

A life of holiness like yours is more important than a life free of suffering and disease. Pray for our healing, but pray even more that we might come as close to Our Lord as you are.

Glory Be

Amen.

Sign of the Cross

Amen.

In case you've been living under a rock, Ariana Grande, pop singer superstar and current actress in the movie Wicked, destroyed two marriages to be with this very ugly looking man named Ethan Slater:

She was married to this man, Dalton Gomez, when she had an affair with Ethan:

(There aren't a lot of pictures of Dolton, since he was pretty low key, but he's way better looking than Ethan)

Ethan was also married during this affair. Ethan's wife and him had been together since high school. His wife had just given birth, and it was a high risk pregnancy as well. The sick thing is that apparently Ari met Ethan's wife and even held their newborn baby while this affair was secretly happening and the wife had zero clue. Here's what Ethan's wife looked like:

We could talk about what huge piece of crap Ariana and Ethan are for being selfish and not thinking about how they were destroying two families. But I don't really care about that right now. Instead, I want to talk about why Ariana FREAKING Grande decided to be a homewrecker for such an ugly guy. I mean look at him:

The thing is, even Ari's die hard fans do not like Ethan and don't understand why someone as hot as her would ruin her reputation for such an uggo. It would be one thing if he was mega rich or talented, but he's neither of those things, his biggest role before Wicked was playing freaking Sponge Bob in some musical. Ethan's wife was the breadwinner and making more money than Ethan. And if you're thinking "Well maybe he's super charismatic!", he isn't. You can look up interviews with him, he has zero charm or charisma.

Everyone was confused, until someone pointed out something disturbing. Ethan Slater looks exactly like Ariana's brother, Frankie Grande. And I don't mean they kind of look alike, I mean they look like twins separated from birth. See for yourself:

Ethan on the left, Frankie on the right.

Frankie on the left, Ethan on the right

Someone decided to only photoshop Ethan's hair on Frankie. Ethan on the right, Frankie on the left.

For those who are unaware, Ariana and Frankie are super close. They are BFFs and Ari has made it no secret that she cares about Frankie more than just about anyone in her life. With that in mind, it kind of makes sense, in a sick sort of way. Ari can't frick her brother (He's literally gay so he's not interested in her even if they both wanted to act like they're from Alabama ) so what does she do? She goes for someone who looks just like him, but isn't related!

Obviously we can't say for sure that this is why Ari went for Ethan. But it is the theory that makes the most sense, seeing as how Ethan has zero other redeeming qualities. This theory has gained so much popularity that people have started noticing that Frankie has recently changed up his hair and makeup, in a possible attempt to make himself look more different from Ethan:

Idk how well it's working, they both look related still lol

What does rDrama think? Is Ari subconsciously trying to get with her brother, or it just a coincidence? Either way, ever since Ari has been with him, her looks have downgraded:

PREVIOUS THREAD

Hello once again, drama enthusiasts, trolls, and unapologetically messy queers,

The nominations are in, the chaos has been tallied, and we've officially whittled down the contenders for this year's Drammy Awards to the top four in each category. That's right, the site's favorite pastime of arguing over absolutely everything is entering its final stage.

But before we get to the nominees, let me remind you: I am still far too lazy to write any of this myself. My ChatGPT-powered assistant (yes, the same one who wrote the first post) is back, and honestly, it's doing a better job than I ever could. Consider this a love letter to capitalism, automation, and my inability to care. If you have complaints, please send them to modmail so we can make fun of you.

The criteria for being chosen for the final round is the same as always:

• The nomination was in the top 4 most voted nominations in its category

• If there were 4 or fewer nominations, then the top N-1 nominations go through instead

Just like last year, only upmarseys were considered and downmarseys were ignored, except to break tie votes.
