cackling out loud about antiope’s leader tattoo debacle
as someone who’s been the sober one surrounded by people tipping into the ‘making bad decisions’ phase of being drunk, it’s very familiar
zelda (and brennan tbh) just caving and calling it the “jed quest” is extremely funny to me
“that’s another one for the therapy list”
oof. same, penny, same
i wholeheartedly love danielle’s characterisation of not being grossed out or getting bad vibes from things outside the norm
it makes so much sense considering her background, her principles, and even her magic! mushrooms and fungi are the liminal beings of nature, and some of the ways they grow tend to put people off. they remind people of death and decay, and some of them look really gnarly. yelle choosing to work her magic with them and that paralleling how she chooses to think about other people is such a great character choice
“should i cast lightning again at the skeleton?”
“NO!”
“it’s just an idea”
ahhhh Sephie is the coolest and i love her Sam!!
“i think we as a group need to heighten our standards a little bit”
“not all of us has been quarantined with a partner, okay!??”
i love this group of people so much!! they’re friends!! and they razz each other!!
(the lil look brennan and izzy gave each other, and izzy’s zip motion across her mouth is so cute 🥺)
this!! this was the first thing i thought of when penny said that nobody needs a rogue.
riz, trying to be the Best Investigator because even if they don’t need a rogue they sure as hell need that. riz, who cares about people so much he will tear his hands apart to get to them, but still sees his value in being useful above else
penny who strives for the best and achieves the most because nobody really needs a rogue and riz who works hard to make himself useful so his friends won't leave
the conversation between sam and penelope is Gutting. the simple fact that they know each other down to their bones, and knows perfectly what to say and how to say it in order to hurt each other the most. neither of them willing to let the mean girl facade slip even when one of them is in Literal Hell is just…shiver inducing.
penelope, who delights in pain!!! and sam, who does not!!!! my god, persephone and brennan acted the hell out of this scene
sobbing at danielle’s conversation with her tree mom. erika is so good at what they do!!
jawbone!!! i missed that voice, and that comforting, accepting cadence<333
but also, oof, penny is very very relatable here as a high-strung, anxious perfectionist who Cannot Handle It All anymore
aabriya absolutely Yeeting rekha’s dice (both times!!) is inspirational
this jones sibling energy!!!
antiope clearing out a full classroom AND overriding her older, actual teacher sister with one sentence is Big Leader Energy. whether she wants it to be or not
EDIT: corsica saying the same thing after just vindicates me so much <333
i love love love erika ishii’s decision to play the therapy/mom friend at the table, no matter what setting they’re in
evil servants of the dark lord? yes, i’ll be the gigantic spider-mom who saves all my friends, thank you
high school adventuring party? anarchist mushroom druid who takes care of the emotional needs of my friends
in conclusion: i live for the way they play d&d!!
god, making the fighter and front-line barbarian the conflict avoidant characters in the group is such a beautiful decision. the katya and zelda dynamic is just *chef’s kiss*
“EVERYTHING is happening, so just take your pick”
i love ostentatia and the way izzy plays her!!
meeting someone arthur fucking aguefort describes as “disturbingly chaotic” is going to be a trip and a half.
they’re either going to be a goblin tsunami of a person or a completely straight-laced, lawful neutral being. cannot wait for the shenanigans!
the seven + arthur aguefort going to the library simply has the most chaotic energy and i’m absolutely thrilled
also!! esther calling ricky “sweet pea”??? the most wholesome thing in the world
“...and his name will be known to him before it is known to any other”
i’m so??? emotional about this line. truly a passing sentence in a bigger scene that made me felt Seen and Known
i think a lot of its impact is because it wasn’t a Big Thing™️. the scene didn’t grind to a halt to mention pete’s transness, the language used wasn’t anachronistic and fits right into the historical setting.
transness is just another facet of who pete conlan is: he’s someone’s descendant, he’s quick-witted and fast-talking, he’s A Mess sometimes, and he’s trans
trans people existing as fully realised people with hopes and dreams, pasts and futures to come; it just means a lot to me
‘did someone just out-astrology me?’ is another quintessentially ally beardsley quote
brennan telling ally fuckin’ beardsley to google something about astrology is the biggest flex, dear god. what a capricorn move
his death’s avenger; his father’s son
[ID: an illustration of riz from fantasy high, poised dramatically on an enormous red dragon’s head, as he stabs it through the skull with a black sword. the background is a bright yellow, and contrasts starkly with riz’s enormous shadow, cast behind him. riz is a tiny green but well-dressed goblin, wearing a button-up, vest, tie, pants and nice shoes. determined, riz glares fiercely at the dragon, which is rendered in high detail and growls at riz, mouth open. the second image is zoomed in on riz, perched above the dragon’s eye.]
“kingston, you hear a deep rumbling coming from within the city hall subway station.”
[ID: a drawing of kingston when he meets the dragon of bleecker street. the dragon is immense, serpenting around the small space, covered in white, green and blue scales. he has long blue whiskers and grins at kingston, who barely reaches his nose. kingston is a young black man wearing a bright t-shirt and shorts. he faces away from the viewer, reaching tentatively to the dragon. the scene is shot through a large, darkened cobblestone archway, a few steps below the platform. a circular window in the ceiling casts the dragon is pink and gold from behind.]
i didn’t know i wanted it, but now that it’s been said i’m fully YEARNING for content in which cody calls kugrash “master splinter” to his face
brennan nodding along and smiling as kugrash is speaking and expositing lore is DELIGHTFUL
and murph seems so comfortable back in the old grumpy rat man persona
i cannot believe that ALLY BEARDSLEY, of all people, have not seen the egg tube. sacrilegious
the absolute SOFTNESS in brennan’s voice when he says “a ~penguin~”
just thinking about how multiclassing in d&d can actually be so queer,
