#God I've gotta stop writing about Sam today

[chillinglikeashilling]

Ok just finished Adventuring Party.

It's so interesting to me the way Danielle was talking about how she felt bad for Sam because nobody takes her seriously not even Danielle (her actress) and she wanted to honor or give space to what that must feel like.

I'm sure Danielle was exaggerating for the sake of her point (I think she's put a lot of thought and effort into playing Sam) but even though I completely understood that fear as Sam voiced it and it fit how Danielle was playing her, I take Sam so seriously.

Sam talked three (maybe four?) ancient demons into leaving her friends body after a lifetime of them tormenting him, she's so incredibly charming that it's a running bit that ancient magical creatures respond to her (very casual) greetings in turn, she's a person who understands other people so well and is at the centre of all of these social dynamics!

And then Brennan mentioned how lonely it must be to make everyone around you feel like they're special but have people take no notice of your interiority, your pains and fears and needs.

Not only that, because you make everyone feel special, everyone assumes that's a reflection of your feelings about them, that you're light shines out around you like a halo and so of course they feel warmed by it without even noticing that you have left a space for them to shine back at you.
