#bh liveblog

[gayspock]

theyre too repressed to fuck each other but they have at least had one spontaneous joint jerk off sesh they dont talk about

[sparring-spirals]

Ashton being quiet and assessing (much like when they met Keyleth, much like whenever they meet a powerful unknown party that claims to be helpful), and it makes sense, but by god I want to see what happens when him and Beau interact.

i bet on losing dogs (bells hells).

The first half of this episode is giving "seeing your toxic family over the holidays and immediately forgetting everything you learned in therapy"

[hand-of-devotion]

Thinking about Fearne crying her eyes out in fear when she lost Orym in the Otohan fight. Thinking about Fearnes scream of terror in Imogens name when she thought Predathos might have been taking her away in her sleep.

Staring directly at choices being made immediately after Fearne finally took on the shard.

Anyways…

There's so much I can say about Orym's choice of going on ahead to the ship, without telling anyone and with no backup. Then he proceeds to take 26 damage...

No liveblog tonight (and probably next week), have fun, folks! Not making any concrete promises about catchup time for fear of life itself pulling some shenanigans to prove me wrong, but I will almost certainly consume secondhand info through my dash. Hope a creature doesn't get unleashed to eat the gods! Or if it does, its at least like. real cool and rad when it happens, before its terrible.

please never stop being a cr hater ur so right for this <3

i actually love CR usually!!! and i love a lot about the bell's hells campaign too — i unconditionally love every single one of the pc's in this campaign! — but the way the predathos and apogee plot had been going had made me start to lose interest in it because it just felt like exu calamity: the remix but...... not as compelling to me personally, lmao. but after this episode i feel genuinely insulted. what was the point of watching the last two campaigns and getting invested in those characters and being brought along on the beautiful story they all told, only for matt to do all that with the players' characters in campaign 3. i'm especially insulted by how marisha and liam's characters were treated by the narrative matt wove — not only beau and caleb essentially being rendered useless based on rolls he wouldn't tell liam and marisha the details of, but also with keyleth, whose whole campaign 3 arc turned out to be "she's bait for her boyfriend <3" and with vax, who had a beautifully ended story get retconned so now he's a fucking orb in the god-eater summoning machine i guess?

and i think it sucks even more because i usually do love CR and the world that matt and the players have built, so this feels like a real rug-pull that matt's done here for "all bets are off" Shock Value. i know lots of people are thrilled by this but i'm not one of them.

[inconmess]

Finally I can watch the whole episode without wifi issues and anything in between *sighs* but the first half was so good and I cannot wait to watch the second half in it's entirety!

Also, damn I am a teeny tiny bit bummed that there wasn't more angst with the failed wisdom saves but I loved Ashton's reaction to it so far!

Also, Imogen chatting with "her mom" while Dorian saw his dead brother and Chet saw dead kids

Sam Reigel having Braius just to flirt with everyone

Fearne not knowing the full terms of her deal and not remembering what was actually there

Braius downing one healing potion, getting cure wounds before casting lay on hands on himself

Imogen's "I don't know for sure" when Braius asked if she was single

The irony of one of Sam's character waking up to his people dead and his next character "waking up" to his people attacking him with no reason. Karma I guess

Teven: We are bonded

Fearne: *Fumbling a lot* Yeah. yeah

Teven: I am bonded to many

Something about Braius asking everyone if they are single reminds me of Dusk in a way?

You know... I think the whole of BH is on an acid trip and by the time we finish the campaign, one of the most knowledgeable people of the most bizzaire stuff

I had more favourite moments but I will liveblog as I go :)

I realize I'm not sure I saw, and I haven't asked: what got you into the FMA kick? Did you watch it for the first time recently, or was it a rewatch? What made you want to watch it? Gimme all the context of your obsession.

OKAY OKAY. so actually what made me BE like "holy shit fma? ohhhhh" was. uuhhhh one, one of my mooties (red-r0ver thank you) like not often posting about it but agreeeing when things about it happened or something. there's a media axis thing somewhere on this website that like was like :"well made art-udder dogshit" on Y and "ok.-I will never be the same again/made me eat glass" and ON THAT. in "wellmade art-neverbe the same/made me eat glass" side of it was Fullmetal alchemist. and like it got agreed with or something idk. anyways that's how it fell on my radar. as a like "hmm I don't know anything about it but I wouldn't be opposed to this. it seems like it'd be enjoyable." and yeah. also I should feel I should mention that in the vauge void of it not quite existing in this time period it conisitantly connected in my head with Doctor Stone for some reason. I've literally only seen doctor stone or whatever through crunchyroll adds when I was wtaching that time I got rencarnated as a slime but it somehow got mixed up with fma. wirse crossed or something. idk.

but what ACTUALLY made me watch it was a video that was talking about Disabilities and Queerness in the Owl House. and DURING that. The person who had made the video brought up FMA and Izumi and was going through scenes of stuff of it. I'm pretty sure they were talking about Izumi with her organ damage and not being able ot have kids(how having disability rep can become related in points of your life), but it was going through some scenes of the show.

BASICALLY. I've seen Alphonse around very vaugely. I knew that he existed to an extent. I knew he was a lot of armor or a robot or something. But I had no clue where he was from and who he was. but he existed in a vague void of "cool character design that I want to kiss SO BAD" but nothing else really. did not know jack about him. not even his name. So I saw HIM in the scenes they were playing and I basically went

so. knowing me. an absolute sucker for armor and robots and things of that sort.(stares at ultrakill longingly). I went into a gc with my friends(it's called monster fucker faggot central btw. mffc. it's great) and I. WAIT I can actually get my exact words hold on. FUCK my screenshots are broken on my computer hold on. I will remedy this.

LIVE SPENXER REACTION.anyways. that's how my friend told me before his account got hacked that fullmetal alchemist is supposed ot be like thr greatest anime of all time. and then he told me to watch brotherhood and I DID and then I became OBSESSED and then I read the manga and now I'm watching 03. from literally the first 5 minutes I became obsessed with Alphonse. Alphonse. . . save me alphonse elric. . . alphonse elric saveme. . . anyways. yeah. I also have uerhmmmmm liveblogs somewhere skewed abount my servers and stuff of when I first watched it and when I read the manga. there's actually an image of me bawling my eyes out when I finished bh that my friend saved bc it's his favorite photo of me ever. teehee.
