honestly, i wonder a lot about eiffel's past relationships, when 1) the way he describes his relationship with kate gives the impression it was intense and burnt out quickly (though i can definitely imagine they were very on-again-off-again for quite a while as well), 2) if we go by gabriel urbina's estimate that he imagined anne was about ten by the end of the show, eiffel was about 23 when she was born. they broke up before anne was born, and i don't think they were ever together again after (i would imagine kate was probably adamant about that, and about prioritizing anne's well-being), but eiffel was obviously still in her life, in some capacity, until kate got full custody.

eiffel's got that line in a matter of perspective: "i've been awake for twenty-six hours straight, half of it because i've been sitting by the phone waiting for a call that never came. it's like my teenage love life played out on an intergalactic scale." and while it's a self-deprecating joke, it's probably not... entirely untrue about his dating life in general? we know why his relationship with kate was toxic (the implications of "things get real sid and nancy" speak volumes), and eiffel strikes me as the kind of person who prefers emotional intensity to casual indifference, even if it's terrible for everyone involved. i don't like to lean too much on things the writers have said - not least because gabriel urbina has been very clear that nothing that isn't in the show is strictly canon - but this is all speculation anyway, and the idea that eiffel was a "tv is my parent" kid who grew up unsupervised has always explained a lot about him, to me.

kate is his most significant ex because she's the mother of his daughter, obviously, but i'd be surprised if there were many other people he was that involved with for... a long enough period of time. like, don't get me wrong, i think eiffel has had plenty of hookups, one-or-two-dates, and even ex-girlfriends, but these aren't people who stay in his life; he comes on too strong for casual and doesn't have the day-to-day stability for someone who wants commitment. he's a lonely, stimulation-seeking person - he was a teenager who didn't have luck in love, and then a young adult who made a lot of bad choices (and didn't maintain any stable friendships), and then just... kinda a guy with a lot of baggage. a lot of things just kind of fizzle out because he assumes disinterest from people who don't meet him with that immediate intensity, or, otherwise, he says he's fine keeping things casual, but then he hooks up with someone once and he gets weird whenever he sees her from then on like, wow, crazy that you're here and i'm here... just two people who are both here... hanging out... like friends do. yup. and he tries to put his arm around her and she blocks his number.

Cooking when you don’t know the ingredients (aka pre-research on a topic you have zero clue on)

Idk what kind of job Price will be, but Im thinking something more niche, like idk a tour guide(for some reason), or forest ranger(mmm), journalist? Maybe he’s travelling around documenting? Office jobs???? An editor??? A bar owner???

Much to think, but im very excited to draw non-traumatized Raven, she’s a lot more soft, less intimidating…she’s happy…URGH SHE’S SMILING….

hot take but I think a lot of current fantasy has lost the "what the heck" nonsensical vibes and that's why a lot of it is so bad

hm yeah so Campaign 1 has fairly basic accent work like Vex and Vax are posh half elves they get posh english accents, Percy is posh so he gets a super posh english accent. Grog is not posh and he is stupid and he is a barbarian, he is uneducated, so he gets an uneducated, working class London-esque accent. This is very common in fantasy and I adore Travis's accent work, it's genuinely one of the best non posh accents by someone who isn't English, but if you start thinking about it 'stupid/idiotic' people or races getting real 'uneducated' accents and smart people and the ruling classes getting 'posh' english accents is something that does bother me and a problem to be noted across fantasy works, even if they're american and american is the neutral accent they still do this? And it's okay because it was just a home game put on screen and they pulled on popular tropes and their previous VA experience etc. It's fine, but it's also boring. I want the ruling class to have a different accent damn it.

But in Campaign 2 the accent choices are more varied out of just English speaking countries, but I want to talk about Travis's accent choices are rad. He's doing a Texan accent but you realise it's not his natural accent and his natural accent is an English one (more neutral and light than the posh C1 accents). So like this Texan accent is something Fjord uses because he saw someone use it who commanded respect. So like instead of this weird constant fantasy trope of posh accents commanding respect is flipped as it's a Texan one. It's not completely as it's not like a cultural or class thing (from what I gather, unless FCG has a southern accent because that's the most respectful accent so of course a robot would be designed to have that accent) that causes Fjord to use the Texan accent it's because of one guy he admires BUT after so many damn posh accents and English accents in fantasy it's just more interesting to see this inversion and this character not picking an RP accent to be taken more seriously. And I don't think Travis was trying to do anything-- I imagine he just picked two accents that contrast each other clearly imo. But after stupid grog with his stupid accent

I am a very serious storyteller. I definitely did not call one of the largest and oldest cities in my story setting "tall sheep hill". My brain definitely doesn't go "hehe...tall sheep :]" every time I have to figure out something relating to it
