Emmrich's quest was really fun, i actually think it's my favorite companion quest so far. Blackthorne Manor reminded me of Danarius's manor in da2, i liked exploring it a lot. in my opinion Emmrich really brings some levity to the team, his personality and age compared to the other companions is a fun contrast and his whole deal with Hezenkoss feels separate from the main plot in a way that makes it a fun and refreshing break from everything else.

his story is bittersweet, but not dark like you would necessarily expect-- i really love the way the mourn watch and Emmrich approach death as this very natural and beautiful thing to be revered and respected. and despite Emmrich being a part of the mourn watch for (presumably) 50+ years and working closely with spirits and the dead, he still has his own fears about dying that he's not ready to face, and we get to help him grapple with this as we deal with Hezenkoss.

i loved the final choice because it was actually difficult, and both felt right-- either way Emmrich has to face his own mortality and accept the inevitability of death, and i really loved the phrasing he uses when talking about Manfred and "honoring his sacrifice and letting him rest." bringing someone back from the dead isn't always the right choice! sometimes it's just selfish, and denying that person's right to death can be disrespectful and against their wishes. and with Emmrich considering lichdom, this is something he has to accept-- people die. you can't always bring them back.

of course, in this instance, you can bring Manfred back, too. and it's selfish but also another sacrifice, Emmrich giving up his chance at immortality for the sake of love and friendship... to acknowledge that you can't live without that, and so eventually you will die, but accepting it and choosing instead to enjoy the time you've already been given.

really great quest, i loved having to answer this question in the midst of fighting supposed immortal gods and an ancient blight, and forcing both Emmrich and Rook to face the reality of the death that's been all around them this entire time.

Dethvanity is really funny to me conceptually as an episode because you can see how little they had to make the characters insecure about for the bit. They swing for obvious lowblow choices with Pickle' baldness and Nathan's weight and even those require some suspension of disbelief because ok. Sure. Nathan '(said extremely proudly) never skipped a meal in my life!' Explosion is insecure about being a big man now. Nathan *guy who everyone thinks is smoking hot 99% of the time* Explosion is a tiny bit larger than usual and is insecure about it now. Lol. Lmao even.

But anyway then we hit Skwisgaar and Toki and there's like NOTHING to swing for, you can see them going uhhh ok Skwis doesn't sleep he probably drinks a lot of coffee, and Toki? Shit, what does Toki have to be insecure about with his looks. He's perfect, he's adorable, he's ripped. Um. FUCK IT, HE'S DOING NOTHING BUT EATING LEMONS. WE GOT NOTHING, WE GOT NOTHING, JUST GIVE THE BOY CITRUS FRUITS.

WOE 🍋 BE UPON YE

I'm sure i could make some smarter points about the attempts at applying vanity in this ep and how outside of this and a few other moments i do actually like that the show rarely takes pot shots at things like Nathan's weight, but you see Nathan has shirtless scenes in this one and so my intelligence is impeded when all the blood rushes out of my head and into my-

haaate how my two favourite ships (surgamy + espilver) typically involve the less popular character losing their edge and acting really out of character (but in an in character way?) because when i go through periods of not drawing/writing/whatever much when it comes to surge or espio as standalone characters (or at least outside the context of shipping) i get scared im gonna forget who they are and that theyre actually so cool

relative to urself, not to the countries they're in or by the (varying) guidelines for what's a city vs a town etc- like if there's a city near u that's the same size as worchester, would u consider that a big city?

Have you heard “Just Lay Still” by John Congleton and the Nighty Nite? Your one art piece (which I adore) reminded me of it, though I would not say it conveys the same things. If you aren’t familiar, I will give a warning that “Just Lay Still” is, on some level, about sexual abuse/exploitation. Doesn’t mean it’s not a damn good song, though.

DAMN THATS A REALLY GOOD COMPARISON I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT. ANON YOUR MIND.......
