#I really wonder how that game goes

So I don't know if it was ever revealed how Duncan felt when we killed Malistaire all three times but I'm wondering if maybe some part of him could hate us for that too. Like you hear that and you go "but why. Malistaire was terrible and even Duncan knew that(?). Why would he hate you for getting rid of him."

But like I think it's so....... interesting in a very, very, very sad way how Duncan so easily latches onto anyone who directly feeds into his delusions of grandeur. And that's no fault of his own that he was manipulated by the nasty Schism but when you think about how desperately clung to the idea that Malistaire, easily one of the greatest necromancers any of us had ever heard of (at that time), somehow actually recognized Duncan's talents (even when canon supports that Duncan wasn't all that talented, at least no more than the next necromancer) and then praised him for it so often that Duncan believed that he would be the next Death Professor is. I mean ☹️

So like with that mindset I unfortunately feel like it would be quite easy to twist even Malistaire's death as something that's horrible and awful and all our fault. ESPECIALLY if the Schism was feeding into Duncan's already broken mind and shattered ego and was constantly telling him that everything bad that ever happened to him ever in his life was Our Fault. That's like a realistic conclusion that someone like Duncan could come to

And like, at this point in time, are Malistaire's crimes even a factor in how he thinks????? Was Duncan ever able to separate Malistaire's talent and skills and prowess from the terrible and awful things he did? If Duncan wasn't able to consciously tell that distinction in the first place I can't imagine it would be any better during the years he was being manipulated and isolated and lied to

Like in Duncan's mind it probably isn't, "maybe I shouldn't idolize a national criminal, or idolize anyone at all for that matter, and aspire to be like someone so harmful when I can recognize my own talent and build from there" it's probably more like, "you (the wizard) permanently got rid of a brilliant mind, an innocent person who just made a few mistakes, and someone who believed in me no matter what just so that you could be the better than me and loved by everyone else" and that's! very sad actually!

me when i write a character who is prone to dooming themself and then they run off and doom themself. core traits are stubbornness and a willingness to disregard their own humanity gET BACK HERE IM NOT DONE WITH YOU

Yesterday's Windtrace session was utter chaos but it peaked with this game. Why play by the rules when you can *checks notes* go on a double date.

sweet sweet re:kinder community... I would like to ask y'all how you came upon the game and your experiences with it because i wanna know. im genuinely so curious to hear about other people's experiences and little opinions about this game because of how wild the game is (/pos) I'd love to hear it. do ramble to me about it

[ghoulhusband]

ok because i’m on the train and i just bought some what do you think the best post apocalyptic rugelach filling would be. (if you don’t know what rugelach is, click that wikipedia link, or the truncated version is it’s a filled small pastry originally from jewish communities in poland but now it’s made all over the world and people put all sorts of fillings in them. the filling can be jam, nuts with spices, flavored pastry cream, or even savory fillings. the kind i just bought are chocolate, in case you’re wondering.)

[illidan]

can everyone listen to greyfoo’s world of whatever/spacebar clown album with me rq

[goldensunset]

hmmm scarvio brainworms again. i think the reason so many people like this story is that if you strip away all the wild shenanigans it deals with a bunch of really simple and broadly relatable things like

•forming an intense emotional bond with a beloved pet who’s been there for you when no one else has

•having a complicated relationship with your parents (who were not great at parenting but also still have definitely always loved you)

•being bullied at school and then being vilified for fighting back because the teachers were ignorant to the reality of what was going on and therefore didn’t help you

•being really good at something but then being so far ahead of the rest that you start to stagnate because nothing’s challenging you anymore, while also having others start to casually resent you for being too good at it

•having a special interest in general and not being able to turn off said interest brain

and many more such things to minor degrees. basically just like. this game has so much heart and soul in it even outside of the crazy stuff the story stays good consistently through every little detail. the power of friendship. chasing your dreams and holding onto what’s important to you. none of these things feel like they’re randomly shoehorned in they feel like a living essence of the narrative at all times. y’know. i love this game
