MCD Rewatch S1 Ep29: Sasha of Meteli

Do you need to watch this? 8%

Is it fun to watch? 8%

Plot Summary: Aphmau returns to Meteli, learns some more about Sasha’s history there, then fuckin dips. She just leaves. Goes “I don’t know magic, have fun with being a chicken I guess” and hits the bricks. Okay.

Personal Notes:

nearly looks enderman in the eye

LAURANCE

SMOOTH

Aphmau and Laurance aren’t going to tell Hayden and Kenmur about Cadenza being a chicken because then CS would absolutely get killed

Laurance and CS are old friends, I want to know that story

at 3:26: “Even though I tend to be a little bit...forward sometimes. I truly care about what I do and those I protect. Even if they’ve gone off and made a small chicken village of their own.”

guard calls Aphmau out for stealing Hayden’s sword GOOD

sword returned GOOD

SASHA AND KENMUR WERE ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED??

Kenmur’s childhood town and family burned to the ground, rip. came to Meteli with a guard and has been there ever since

Sasha and Kenmur were in love, and Sasha had a noble heart. Then Sasha went to the nether to rescue the Lord and never returned.

“brief” (too long) return to CS house for inventory clearing and picking up some stuff left behind on accident last episode. CS not around, left a note saying he’s “out on business” thank god

the chickens talk btw. forgot to mention that

Aphmau simply leaving the town since she doesn’t know shit about magic to help Cadenza

going back to help cat lady

Aphmau REFUSING to connect the dots on the nether King corrupting guards, Sasha being a noble guard, Sasha going to the nether and disappearing, and Sasha being a liar who GIVES HER POISON. its frustrating. you cannot play a character this dumb. you’d need -2 intelligence, -2 wisdom, -2 charisma, hell i’d say -2 on ALL stats because to not make the connections happening here you must not have enough dexterity, strength, or constitution to support your brain

Aphmau gifted 4 more dogs by the plot

these animals will be neglected

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

The stewards of the old world are always keen to give you a glimpse of their might... According to legend, the ancients built specialized chambers to seal away false prophets.

The Arcane is waking up.

Inspired by some other polls that have been going around lately, I'm trying to see something:

[inbabylontheywept]

so i left the mormon church as a teenager (15ish? 16?), but stayed in attendance until i was 20. i was pretty up front about the whole deciding-it-wasnt-true process with my bishop, who frankly took it really well, but it wasnt like i pulled all 150 ward members aside and had a heart to heart with them. anyway, i didnt believe, so at 19 i didnt go on a mission, and while some people in the ward were totally fine with that, others werent. and there was one woman in her late 50s who pulled me aside one day to interrogate me why i hadnt gone on a mission.

"the duty of every young man" she said.

and the thing is, im autistic. and a lot of people assume that when youre autistic, your social skills just arent very good. but thats not exactly true. your Be Polite skills are kind of eh, and they tend to stay that way, but as a sort of survival mechanism your Be Rude skills become amazing simply because you get put in tons of situations where your choices are to Function or Be Polite. and no one can choose Be Polite forever. the world demands function, it merely encourages politeness.

anyway, it can really catch neurotypicals by surprise, because hey, heres this kind of awkward, graceless guy, who stumbles over his words a lot and is very apologetic. hes probably a huge pushover. but i'm only like that when we're playing The Polite Game, because i am frankly kind of bad at it. but when its time to play The Rude Game, i go fucking ham and asking about the not-going-on-a-mission thing is Super Rude. so i said:

"sister hadlock... they wont let me go because i lit-er-ally cannot stop sucking dicks. i dont know why, its just so, so hard."

*dramatic pause*

"also - its very difficult to stop."

anyway, it almost killed her. i think she'd expected to just kind of steamroll me for the entire conversation, but the answer crushed her soul. instead of continuing her interrogation she made a noise like a horse drowning in a bog and left.

to add insult to injury, she went to the bishop after that, thinking he'd chew me out for being an ass, but instead he chewed her out for not minding her own business. then she went to my parents after that, who basically went "yeah, babylon was pretty rude. but youre also pretty rude. what are you, mad that he's better at it than you?"

i really loved that ward.

bring back zooterkins, the best 17th-century swear word

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)

actually, i did want to ask you all - a commonly shared sentiment about character creators in games or dressup games online is there's very frequently a lack of black hairstyles.

so it made me curious - what are some black hairstyles you wish would be included more in character creators/dressup games? or ones you get really happy to see are included?
