#Wtf Taliesin

[that-ineffable-devil]

Taliesin said about Ashton "I don't think there's really an inner child in there..." and I felt like I'd been suckerpunched in the SOUL.

[your-turn-to-role]

"look, i've been meaning to talk to you..."

"about, my sister"

YEAH ABOUT THAT

[ahmoseinarus]

They... they really fucking did that... the "raving mystic"... none other than Taliesin Jaffe himself. I'm fucking dead. I just can't with those smart asses, I swear to god...

[piratespencil]

The way Sam/FCG was like no I am gonna keep Ashton alive and they are gonna succeed was my favourite part of the whole shard bit tbh.

[diabeticgirl4]

That episode was. Insane.

[littlebosslady7]

Taliesin’s face when Teven said Fearne is bound to him and Asmodeus was WTF. 😅

[torchflies]

How did the gang find out about the Disney times of ice like was it the taliesin jaffe (& sam riegel) bit of "man I love the explorers" "dude I was in the explorers" "wait wtf no way!!" "yeah I was the kid brother"

Or was it more Bradbrad has to go to bed after movie but to try and make it last longer he insists that the credits count as part of the movie and thus not bed time yet, then "pops look he has the same name as you" "yeah cuase that is me, good spot Babby Goose" Sli&mav both staring at him like "we talking about this when he goes to bed"

The Disney Times of Ice should be a whole other album name 😂😂😂

Honestly the Disney stuff is probably what they figure out first, since it is technically still under his real name. But of course, he would never admit to it.

Oh it is SOOO the Baby Goose version. If anything, little Baby Goose’s favorite movie is Dumbo when they first meet. And even though Dumbo pre-dates him by a lot, Ice is still a Disney kid and sings him a perfect rendition of Baby Mine as a lullaby. In front of the flyboys. It puts Bradley down like a light and one of the flyboys makes the connection, or maybe Carole even 😂

They NEVER let him hear the end of it, especially when they find the interviews 😂😂😂��️ Little gap-toothed Ice telling reporters that he loves working for Disney oodles and lots, mister. Or when he got his little bitty child Oscar.

[revvethasmythh]

taliesin really said "they've gotten up to so much bullshit since I've been gone, I HAVE to one-up them somehow" and then he did wtf is this story

[the-genesis-caveat]

I'm so totally normal about the wildmother and the crawling king

fully insane abt torog rn after watching downfall. i think a cleric of his would be fun as hell to play, especially if it ends up being a mirror to the wildmother; people think of pain as something negative, but you cannot have growth or change without pain. having a holy symbol that hurts to hold, that is covered with barbs... phenomenal stuff. zaharzht was a phenomenal character thank you so much brennan lee mulligan and taliesin jaffe for that scene with him and melora

[admathoughts]

It baffles me when people put this all on Taliesin and are mad at him.

ALL of them are responsible for what happened (tho Tal gets more don't get me wrong) Ashley/Fearne didn't want the shard and stated it very clear; could she do a better job? Yeah, and there is the main problem.

HELLS.DO.NOT.TALK Players were weirded out/ confused at the sudden change and plead for privacy... and you are telling me that they characters wouldnt be??? Everyone at the table was 'wtf', and they didn't rp it even once. You mean to tell me that suddenly Chet and Imogen respect someone privacy just like that, without questioning? That they just walked away without even a single question asked? Also, they're starting very dangerous ritual with ancient tech and there is like no talk between the group? No ' be safe/ we're right here/are you sure?' like, THERE WAS NO TALK. Massive ritual is starting and there is no emotional/reassuring/even suspicious RP'ing? Did Ashton fucked up? yes very badly so and need to take responsibility for it. But were more people at fault? Also yes.

So If you are pissed at Tal kindly fuck off because the whole group is at fault and I hope this will help them see that Bells need to fucking communicate!

[oryms-shield]

The first half of Bell's Hells ep 77 could be summed up as; the ladies goes on a midnight adventure, encounter ghost, snd Delilah makes her presence known.

The latter half starts off with sledding.

Then.

Then.

Oh my God Taliesin what are you doing? You absolute mad man!! Matt warned you against this!

10 rounds of this? Only a ring prevented your death? WTF!?

Fearne and Fcg was constantly pumping healing spells into you!

This screenshot best encapsulated all of their feelings.

[towards-toramunda]

No but seriously I’m so tired of the “how dare anyone question the gods as if orym’s family wasn’t killed” argument because Matt wants them to question the gods! Taliesin went into this campaign having decided that to be punk in exandria is to dislike/distrust the gods! A lot of the arguments made against them or even neutrality about them are very valid! It is interesting to think about what the world would look like without the gods and to question where they came from and how much importance they really hold if a mortal has usurped one of them!

Questioning these things and wondering why people would go to the lengths they’ve gone to to be against the gods is important! Seeing the humanity in the other side (like with the Dragonborn’s locket and bor’dor) is important! Noticing the harm that religion has done to these people is important!

And it’s so exhausting to see people on this site say “if you ask these questions you side with ludinus/ support the killing of Orym’s family” because wtf are you talking about? I understand Orym thinking that way because Liam said that Orym isn’t capable of looking at this situation objectively (and honestly I love it it’s so interesting to watch), but idk I just get frustrated seeing so many takes on here just siding with Orym because he’s the morally perfect one who can do no wrong to them.

(Honestly I think seeing that take just bothers me because I feel like I can see Liam doing so much that’s really INTERESTING with this character and I feel like not viewing him as flawed almost takes away from that? Idk I’m rambling.)

Thoughts on C3EP77 of CR (I hyperfixate on imodna constantly, but I swear that I talk about the rest of the characters as well)

Delilah fucking briarwood. It has not gone past me that we got to have this great laudna moment on the same ep where they announced the book. WHICH I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED ABOUT.

Imodna will never not be iconic in the middle of a fight. That one moment when laudna was being cornered by the ghosts, and she kept going back and forth between acting like Delilah and pleading for them to understand that she wasn’t the one they were after, to finally Imogen killing two of them, and as they vanished, her gaze was finally visible to laudna as the cloud of smoke dissipated and she told her that it would be alright, only for laudna to lash out once again and unleash her attacks on the rest of them. Chef’s kiss. What a scene.

Imogen calling Delilah Briarwood a bitch will never get old.

Laudna making Imogen promise her to move on and be happy if she died- I can’t. My sweet farm girl was so heartbroken the entire episode. THERE WAS ONE MOMENT TOO, when orym was talking about missing Will every day, and how he would want him to live and be happy, and Imogen was just like 😣. She needs a hug. Someone has to give her a hug

FEARNE FINALLY KNOWS ABOUT IMODNA. The moment that laudna said “she makes me so happy!” I literally fell to my knees.

Fearne’s soft little “you are??” After Orym said that he was so glad that she was there with them broke me into a million pieces. Ashley Johnson you’re an ✨actress✨

Laura deciding to end imodna, not because of the moon, not because of the gods, or Delilah briarwood, but because marisha made a bad vex impression. I respect it.

Imogen still has her yellow scarf. This is very important to me.

Imogen praying for laudna to be alright- Destroyed, heart broken, I’ll never recover + Laura and marisha’s little smiles after the scene, when Laura was wiping off her tears😭 + THE FUCKING RAVEN QUEEN. She better scram the fuck away from the girls, cause I’m not ready for vaxleth 2.0. I’m just like imogen, I refuse.

CALLOWMOORE AT THE CLOCK TOWER. I was giggling, kicking my feet - then by the end of it I was like wtf taliesin, what are you cooking? And then fearne ran away 😭

Terrified of the amount of potions being distributed for the next episode… also, excited.

Ashton. It’s just so funny because Imogen was so hesitant about it all the entire way, but she had the circlet. She wasn’t inside Ashton’s head so he got away with it. Marisha’s innocent “what is happening?” To then being explained Ashton’s plan and saying “you’re gonna die” so incredulous, so sad, and everyone’s face after she said that. My heart started speeding up. Just what the actual fuck. The way he treated fearne… I will not be ok with him for a while because of that. He almost killed himself, he almost killed them all. They just burned a bunch of spells and potions and they’re going to the moon… honestly, I don’t think I’ve been this stressed since laudna’s resurrection

It’s just so… Ashton advocating for down time, so that they could remind themselves that they loved each other before anyone did anything stupid… I EXPECTED SOMETHING BUT I DID NOT EXPECT THIS

Just… Fearne… I understand being an asshole, but I do not understand being an asshole to Fearne. The way that he used their friendship to make her do his bidding, straight up awful.

I've had to rewind Caduceus talking about looking for that crematorium up in the mountains, twice now. What is it with me and not paying attention to Taliesin?!

I mean it always seems like he's confused and, sadly, an after thought (like Yasha but Ashley isn't there). And it seems like he has to force his way into the narrative. But like Caduceus is SUPER interesting! I want to know about him! And Taliesin seems like a cool cat, wtf me?!

TO BE FAIR THOUGH! That would be me. Not knowing what to say or how to say it, forcefully try to get my say in or point across. Or, most likely, just be a body at the table and not say or do anything.

RPGs are not for the weak. I apologize for this post. I'm gonna pay attention now.

[spooky-magnolia]

Taliesin: *dances while talking, like twice or something*

Me: Wtf, I like this dude.
