Am I the only one bothered by alignment chart memes that just throw nine random things in a grid instead of having some consistency regarding what is good, evil, lawful or chaotic?
It just takes a few tweaks to make something at least moderately consistent.
And see, I’d swap your Lawful Neutral and True Neutral, as then all the neutrals would feature one long bed edge placed against a wall.
That would also make sense, it would just be changing the pattern.*
In mine, Lawful is center aligned with one side touching a wall. Chaotic is tilted to touch corners to walls instead of sides. Good is head towards walls and foot towards the interior. Evil is foot towards walls and head towards the interior. And true neutral… is not bound by any of these rules.
* A pattern that would be based on the idea that neutral should be a defined side, one that presents its own rules in each dimension of the chart, rather than merely being the absence of one of the other alignment dichotomies. If this were just about chart making, I would support that as I like things to be orderly, but because this is alignment I stick with what I believe to be the better representation of that system.
I guess I’m lawful neutral good now
Yes! It’s stupid how many of them just throw random shit in without thinking about what would make sense.
Should show the door’s relation to the room
How about a diagonal bed in not touching any wall? Or just touching one wall?
You monster
Rotating circular bed in the middle of the room with a mirror ceiling?
Swaggerly swinging alignment.
Chaotic evil should have other furniture overlapping with the bed.
At least half the bed should be used for the “not dirty enough to wash, not clean enough for the closet” clothing pile.
Like, a cat tree.
What about a bed that perfectly fits into a nook in the room, meaning that part of the room is nothing but bed with only one side open? Sized exactly so nothing sticks out either
Because that’s my bedroom
I’m going to say that’s a level above lawful good.
I want that arrangement with the opening along the foot of the bed. But I imagine as a child this would terrify me, having no other possible escape route but through when the zombie shows up.
Sounds a bit of pain for two people if one side is the free one. Sounds a bit of a pain for both if it’s the end that’s open. Sounds like utter madness if it’s the end with the pillows that’s open, but insane enough to earn my respect.
Yeah sure, but what’s the alignment for the monster under the bed?
Monsters under the bed follow a different system. I don’t know all the details but I believe if there’s a cross hanging in your room you get a priest. If you have a poster of a fast car you get a bully. And if you have an anime wall scroll featuring cat girls you get a robot.
Chaotic Evil is the best if you actually have a nice view.
I guess I’m true neutral. If I shared the bed with someone, I’d be Lawful Good.
Amatonormativity, am I right?
The bed’s position would be lawful good; what happens in the bed wouldn’t.
Sorry, I don’t know why I said that. Corrected.
True neutral, I like having the wall next to me. My wife gets the open side
I switched away from this to both sides open because I hate climbing over someone or someone climbing over me.
That’s why you scoot out the bottom!
I don’t like to do that. I used to have a really cramped room with two people in the bed, it was always climbing or scooting.
I scoot off the foot of the bed :)
Dang, you folks can afford having both both the sides free‽
And here, ladies and gentlemen, we observe the extremely rare interrobang in its native habitat. Absolutely fascinating.
You can’t tilt it in the corner or else the monster has space to rise behind your head.
Currently lawful good but true neutral is aight too
i assume chaotic good means the best, right?
Chaotic evil, I guess. I move relatively frequently, and commonly the apartments I rent have TV on the wall, a dining table in the middle, and a couch at the opposite wall. What I mostly do is I put my PC on the dining table and push it against the couch to use as a workplace. But then I sometimes want to use the TV to watch something in the background and not run HDMI across the room, so I move all of it to the wall the TV is hung on. But then I fall asleep on that couch often, in the middle of the room, under the dining table, facing the wall…
