if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?

Instead of working, I drew Seven with seven colored pencils

"how can you be blogging about fun stuff while this horrible thing is going on?"

there's always horrible things going on somewhere. if you refuse to calm down until it all stops, all you'll do is give yourself a stroke

I fucking love that essek is risking exposure 1. to ask keyleth for any updates on caleb’s success and whereabouts but also 2. because his younger himbo brother *checks notes* wanted keyleth’s autograph on a book she didn’t even write

During the 7 years since the end of the Mighty Nein, Essek reconnected with Verin, and obviously had to tell him why he was on the run from the Dynasty. Verin forgave him, and is still continuing to work with him in these trying times. Essek just admitted that he’s “fond” of the Mighty Nein in front of him. Verin has met the Nein. Caleb has a dorky, poetry-reading, himbo of a brother-in-law. Matthew Mercer, you continue to do SO MUCH for Shadowgast enjoyers and I SALUTE YOU

"Oh but parents do have a right to control what their children eat. What if they just want to eat candy for every meal?"

Most parents can't even distinguish between random whims and autism dietary limitations and end up saying shit like this and starving their disabled children.

After meeting him, I know in my heart and soul that Verin Thelyss has a well read copy of Tusk Love

custom devo'ssa mini... i used to dream of times like this

I am seeing news that Essek is out as Seth with his brother or something and I just- I love how Essek continues to be this cool Genius Wizard who can help you seal your evil patron away in your chest while also being the dumbest man on The planet. Like what do you mean hes chilling in magic disguise in The same City as The entire Kyrn army? It’s giving Lord Lord from Around energy in the tavern tonight. What’s wrong with him lol

Essek approaching Vox Machina, heroes of legend. They don't know who he is. Even if they did know he was Essek and not Seth, they still wouldn't know why he needs to know that the Nein are safe. They don't know they're his family, that one of them is his partner. I'm fond of them, is all he can say.

He introduces them to his brother. His sweet baby brother, the only member of his blood family he truly loves. Verin, who's going off into hell (just like their father did) - but maybe, if these heroes know him, they might help him, they might protect him. Verin is far from the Beacons here; he has no second chance if he goes down.

Essek who once said, 'I haven't cared about anyone for the century I've been alive.' Essek, now aching with love, so much that he'll grasp at anything that could reassure him that his family are safe. Essek, having to let them all go: friends, brother, Caleb.

It was so much easier, back when he didn't care.

(He still wouldn't change a thing.)

Keyleth: Are you okay?

Essek: MY HUSBAND IS ON THE MOON, TEMPEST.

[gendertrickery]

Essek smacking Verin in the arm when he starts rambling about his helmet, Essek hissing “Verin, what the fuck was that??” as they leave, you can really tell the last 6-7 years hanging around Beau has rubbed off on him 🥺💕

[gendertrickery]

I don't know how Essek and Verin reconnected (though I CRAVE to know) but all that assumed, what are the odds Essek went "I'm going to go ask the Voice of the Tempest about my friends" and Verin went "THE Voice of the Tempest??? I'm coming with you and it's non-negotiable" and Essek made such a face and said FINE if you must

[gendertrickery]

Essek slapping his brother for being an idiot while pretending to not be a Thelyss is peak older sibling behavior.

[gendertrickery]

Verin is a dork

Verin read air ashari poetry as a kid

Verin asked for keyketh’s autograph
