"Now I'm not saying that we rush into there headlong and start fighting this Light...but...(t)here may be answers there that maybe could break this cycle and stop us from just being...I'm going to appreciate that I'm not in my congregation. I am with my family, and me talking as a member of this family with children on the way, all I want is to keep us safe."

- Thorn Vale, Burrow's End Ep. 3

"But when this conflict happened here, I was lining up a shot and you swept my leg at the last second. 'Cause you were talking, talking, talking and I was like, he hasn't mentioned his kids! He hasn't mentioned that he's gonna be a dad. And I swear to god, Tula was gonna fucking—"

- Brennan Lee Mulligan, Adventuring Party, Ep. 3

Anybody ever have a rough time watching D20 because Brennan does parenting in such a specific and painful way for people who have complicated relationships/feelings with their parents? No? Just me?

*sports commentator voice* Brennan Lee Mulligan, reigning champion of creating mom-characters, gets it done, once again. Was it ever really in doubt? I mean after such feats as Sandra Lynn Faeth and Caramelinda Rocks nobody would have expected less.

*second commentator voice* Though let us not forget, Erika Ishii brought him a real fight. Her “bringing up man to set her daughter up with” move was expertly executed. A truly worthy second place.

I think about Sklonda finding out about the tattoos all the time. Just. Brennan’s face, voice, words, intonation… so perfectly mom

if there's one thing about brennan lee mulligan, it's that he is way better at (and fond of) playing an exasperated mom than you'd think (unless you know how much time he's spent working at summer camps)

Brennan lee mulligan playing mothers:

Tula (spoilers burrow's End): ptsd from the death of her husband and her own death, scared of messing her kids up because her mom pushed her issues on her back and made her carrying the weight of this family. Trying her best but being so so scared of what could go wrong and what could her hurt kids. Losing her connection with her kids because she's so scared, but thankfully gets it back. Absolutely tragic.

Hallariel (spoilers fhjy) : immortal woman with a mortal kid, depressed and unable to get a grasp on reality. Takes immortality for granted and neglect her child because of her depression and her incapacity to understand mortal life completely. Absolutely tragic.

Caramelinda (spoilers acoc) : lose her wife and get pushed in a political marriage with a boy who refuse to grow up. She got two kids and you try to connect again and again but you also need to prepare them for the life they didn't choose and you didn't chose and it's so unfair. Cause you fought so hard for this country, you accepted and endured so much and the price was the live and trust of your kids. Absolutely tragic.

Sandra Lynn: abused when you were barely an adult, very much still a child. Got messed up for life, making real connections a challenge for you. You got a kid, she's so much like you. She's the mirror of your mistakes and you love her more than anything in this world. But you never succeeded on connecting with yourself so how can you connect with her? She is so much like you. Absolutely tragic.

Sklonda: got the good life, awesome husband, great kid. Then your husband dies and you got to raise this kid right? So you do and you work and he grows OBSESSED with the same things your husband loved, that you loved about him. You see all of this consuming him bits by bits, day by day and you're terrified you might fail him and he gets devoured by his work. Absolutely tragic

Brennan's mum characters are the best mum characters in media, change my mind
