PLEASE share more about this dr! So sad that DC is not a popular place to shift to
Gladly! This is my favorite DR atm itā€™s just great all around honestly.
Fair warning, this is a long post!
Onto my backstory!
So basically, when I was a kid a new rogue popped up with some memory-altering gas and organized a really nasty attack on Gotham. I got caught up in the attack and got my memories fully taken away. So I just kinda wandered around Gotham until Robin found me and Batman decided to take me in (my only DR with a ā€œstableā€ father figure! Letā€™s gooooo).
I was really young, and Dick was still Robin, so I wasnt supposed to be a vigilante, but fuck than amiright? I started following them out on patrol and because of my meta abilities they couldnā€™t catch me. So Bat was like ā€œfuck it, another child soldierā€ and BAM 2 Robins!!
Also about my meta abilities, they manifested due to the trauma from the attack I was involved in. And theyā€™re bat-based! They were pretty subtle at first, so no one realized I had them until I started training.
Things are great, Damian joins the fam early after Talia decides to ditch her dad, Dick moves out, I break my leg, Jason joins the fam! Happy family, everythingā€™s great, weā€™re thriving.
Thenā€¦ BAM tragedy strikes. You really expected me to have a happy, un-traumatizing backstory? No way!
Jay and I get our shit rocked by the Joker. Thankfully, we live haha. I was able to keep us from getting crushed by the warehouse debris due to my enhanced strength. And B got there in time and called in Superman to pull us out of the wreckage.
Anyway, this event FREAKS ME TF OUT. Obviously both of us have to retire from being Robins, and I refuse to have anything to do with vigilantism or Batman. I even refused to speak to Bruce for a while.
I got some pretty nasty, very visible scars from this event. I was really ashamed of them, so I wouldnā€™t leave the manor or let the media see me. The public/media was told we were kidnapped by random thugs, but it was a conspiracy theory I actually died which is why I hadnā€™t been seen since it happened (obviously not lmao)
Few years later, Barbara convinces me to become the next batgirl after she had to retire. Night of my first patrol, literally about to leave the cave, bat signal lights. Joker escaped Arkham. Are you kidding me??? I completely flipped my shit. I refused to go out, and refused to ever be a vigilante again.
This didnā€™t last though, Steph and Cass joined the family and really brought me out of my shell. I helped train stephanie, which really brought back my love of fighting.
So I decided to train again, and just recently became Batgirl!
This DR has by far my angst-iest backstory, I promise Iā€™m not always this dramatic. Onto more fun things!
Stephanie, Cass, and I? Besties <3
Jason and I had lowkey beef with Tim at first because, cmon, we almost die and now some other kid is Robin? But donā€™t worry, we all get along now!
I hit the joker with a chair once.
I do ballet!
I was adopted second, but Iā€™m the third oldest sibling
Iā€™ve got a motorcycle
I have a scar on my forehead from where I tripped and fell face-first into the batmobile T-T
I also have a scar on my ankle from falling off a roof (this was not fully my fault, Dick was also involved LMAO)
People outside of Gotham know that Batman exists, but the rest of us? Full on cryptid energy. Best evidence is some blurry photographs, the occasional video of one of us being dumb, or anecdotes from fast food workers. Thereā€™s a whole buzzfeed unsolved episode about it.
I only recently started making public appearances again, which is fun
The majority of the family are fire signs (including myself) so thatā€™s going to beā€¦ a fun experience hahah
I normally work at night, but occasionally I patrol with Duke during the day!

BnHA Chapter 322: IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME
Previously on BnHA: Endeavor was all, ā€œKirishima please take Hagakure and Aoyama and put them away somewhere out of sight until weā€™re finally ready for the U.A. Traitor Plot.ā€ Shouto was all ā€œHEY DEKU DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT MAYBE YOU WANDERING THE STREETS LOOKING LIKE A GOTH PRAYING MANTIS IS EXACTLY WHAT AFO WANTS.ā€ Deku was all ā€œIā€™M SORRY I CANā€™T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF MY CRUSHING MARTYR COMPLEX AND ACCUMULATED TRAUMA.ā€ Mineta was all ā€œHEY DEKU YOU SWEET THANG, IF I COULD REARRANGE THE ALPHABET Iā€™D PUT ā€˜Uā€™ AND ā€˜Iā€™ TOGETHER, ANYWAYS HMU šŸ’–ā€, or at least thatā€™s what fandom apparently thought he said. Everyone was all ā€œWELL SINCE WEā€™RE BACK HERE IN KAMINO WE SHOULD DO THE THINGā€ and did the whole ā€œlaunching someone into the air to save someone by dramatically grabbing their handā€ thing that everybody fucking loves to do in Kamino so damn much. Iida was all ā€œ[bombards me and Deku with feels].ā€ Deku was all, ā€œą„‚(ŹšĢ“Ģ¶Ģ·Ģ .Ģ  ŹšĢ“Ģ¶Ģ·Ģ„Ģ€ ą„‚).ā€ I was all, ā€œ(;*ā–³*;).ā€ Horikoshi was all, ā€œmy work here is done.ā€
Today on BnHA:Ā 
Tumblr media
oh my god.
so I finally went back to look at what I wrote up for 321 last week, and itā€™s a hot fucking mess lol, and I really donā€™t want to deal with that right now, so weā€™re just gonna skip it and go back sometime in the next few days or something because I really want to read the new chapter and I have no self control. Iā€™M SORRY IIDA
oh my god heā€™s breaking out the narration word bubbles oh my god. shit is about to get epic isnā€™t it
Tumblr media
has there ever been a chapter that opened with these that WASNā€™T epic? serious question. anyways all aboard the Feels Express I guess
YEP
Tumblr media
I saved a bunch of other crying kaomojis when I was looking for ones to use in the ā€œpreviously onā€ summary, and right now itā€™s looking like that was a good fucking decision you guys. if Iā€™m going to be an emotional wreck I might as well do it in style Ź• ą²” ļ¹ ą²” Ź”
AND BY THE WAY!!
Tumblr media
SHOULD I JUST THANK HORIKOSHI NOW AND SAVE MYSELF SOME TIME LATER. THE MAN ALWAYS FUCKING DELIVERS WHAT ELSE CAN I FUCKING SAY GODDAMN. IS IT TOO EARLY TO DECLARE THIS MY NEW FAVORITE CHAPTER? I SHOULD PROBABLY READ FURTHER THAN ONE PAGE BUT Iā€™VE JUST GOT A FEELING
(ETA: itā€™s like. maybe my second favorite lol. A HUG WOULD HAVE PUT IT IN FIRST, Iā€™M JUST SAYING.)
anyway so Ochako is releasing Iida, which is actually hilarious, because idk if you all know this but Iida canā€™t fucking fly you guys
Tumblr media
like, I assume Ochako released him because she already knew that Kirishima was in place to catch him, but I really love this split-second of panic on Iidaā€™s part where heā€™s all ā€œHMM, IS OCHAKO TRYING TO KILL ME, ACTUALLYā€
LOL THEREā€™S A THOOM AND EVERYTHING
Tumblr media
thatā€™s some plus fucking ultra on Ochakoā€™s part right there. ā€œIF THEY DIE THEY DIEā€ goddamn girl did you leave your chill in the same locker as Momo or what
now poor Kiri is all ā€œDAMMIT DEKU ARE YOU PASSED OUT OR WHAT, I DIDNā€™T GET TO TELL YOU MY THING GODDAMMITā€
Tumblr media
oh my gosh he is curled up so small you guys oh my fucking lord
Tumblr media
RESIDUAL ā€œLOST CHILDā€ FEELS FROM LAST WEEK COMING IN FOR A LANDING!! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SEATBACKS AND TRAY TABLES ARE IN THEIR UPRIGHT POSITIONS OMG ( ĖšĶˆĶˆĶˆĶˆĢ„Ģ† ā‚ā‚Ž ĖšĶˆĶˆĶˆĶˆĢ„Ģ† )
LMAO IIDA IS TRYING TO CONFIRM THAT OCHAKO PLANNED FOR KIRISHIMA TO CATCH HIM, AND KIRISHIMA IS ALL ā€œNOPE Iā€™M JUST HERE BY CHANCE BROā€
Tumblr media
Ochako is the U.A. Traitor confirmed. Hagakure I am so sorry I doubted you. Ochako get over here. so are you Toga now or what
anyway so now everyone is running over before Iida can react to this casual announcement of his attempted murder. and now Mina is taking her turn, and Horikoshi is all ā€œHEY BTW IS MINA CRYING ON THE LIST OF THINGS THAT MAKE YOU CRY?ā€ and of fucking course it is, you bastard. Iā€™m not made of stone
Tumblr media
( ɵĢ„Ģ„ Ė‘Ģ« ɵĢ„Ģ„)

Tumblr media
THEYā€™RE JUST DEKU AND KACCHAN. holy shit you guys. because oh my god, but itā€™s like when Deku was talking to the Vestiges about saving Tomura, and he turned into his little child self because his heart and intentions were so pure?? and itā€™s like that again, except that weā€™re seeing them as their child selves because thatā€™s who they are to each other?? like, not that they actually see each other as children, but just, they can see past all of the stuff on the outside and see each other to their cores, to who they are inside, and when they look at each other they each simply see the other boy that theyā€™ve known their whole entire life. idk?? does that make sense??? DOES ANY OF THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE I DONā€™T KNOW WHAT WORDS ARE ANYMORE Iā€™M JUST SWIMMING IN FEELS OKAY. Iā€™M TRYING HERE
theyā€™re just boys, is what Iā€™m trying to say, I guess. just Deku and Kacchan. all the walls are down, all the gaps are bridged, and all it is is the one boy reaching out and connecting with the other, and just,,, (ź’¦ąŗ“āŒ“ź’¦ąŗµ)

sure letā€™s cut to Thirteen then, yay. I mean Iā€™m glad theyā€™re alive lol, donā€™t get me wrong
(ETA: I think that might have sounded a bit sarcastic so I just want to clarify that I really am happy Thirteen is alive and on the job again lol.)
Tumblr media
itā€™s just that if your name doesnā€™t begin with Baku or Deku I honestly am not interested for just these next five minutes okay lol. like Iā€™m just gonna be completely honest. I am too invested lol, please, they were having a moment, JUST LET ME HAVE THIS PLEASE
OH DAMN U.A. GOT SWOLE AF
Tumblr media
THIS SCHOOL HAS BEEN JUICING WTF. I THOUGHT YOU WERE TARTARUS LOL
Iā€™m literally not even reading the speech bubbles though omg Iā€™m so sorry. I really hope there is not a quiz, I promise I will come back to it later scroll scroll scroll
okay so they brought him back to U.A. and heā€™s all tired and out of it yes
oh goody Hagakure knows all about the security system
Tumblr media
(ETA: is it just me or is Horikoshi really laying it on thick with the hints about these two guys lately? Iā€™m on to you sir.)
THATā€™S WONDERFUL NEWS. GLAD THIS CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE IS SAFE IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE TRUST
ffs Deku
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHAT WILL IT EVEN TAKE TO CONVINCE YOU THEN?? SWEET JESUS
-- holy shit, what??!
Tumblr media
they know?? how did they find out??! holy shit???
Tumblr media
Iā€™m about to cancel the whole of Japan lmao. fucking try me dudes
-- THE PRINCIPAL!?
Tumblr media
NEZU GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!! WHAT THE FUCK
ā€œa ticking time bombā€ tell you what, this man is just asking to be punched in the face. literally begging for it omg
(ETA: I have been advised that I misread this part; Rat Principal told everyone how safe U.A. was, but heā€™s not the one who ratted out Deku; that wasĀ ā€œthe rumorsā€, apparently. which, if I had to guess, were probably started by AFO.)
oh I see, so itā€™s to be Feels, Part II then
Tumblr media
he looks so sad and tired and lonely and she goes right for the hand, god bless. though if Kacchanā€™s not gonna hug him, youā€™d think someone would at least. or is it because he still smells bad. hmm
AND THE CHAPTERā€™S ENDING ON HER LOL WELL OKAY THEN
Tumblr media
I MEAN ITā€™S GREAT AND ALL, I LOVE OCHAKO REALLY I DO, BUT WE WERE PROMISED GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER GODS, WHAT GIVES SOB. I WAS ALL READY TO BREAK OUT INTO SONG AND EVERYTHING. SURE, HE DID THE APOLOGY, BUT WHERE IS THE FOLLOW-UP GODDAMMIT
(ETA: just to clarify the reason for my rambling here, I was really waiting for the hero name reveal and the presumed deeper meaning behind it lol. but I guess that is a conversation still to come! and we still need Dekuā€™s response to the apology too for that matter. lots to look forward to still.)
WELL WHATEVER, SO THAT IS THE END OF THE CHAPTER! SHOUT OUT TO MY BOY RAT ā€œLET ME JUST TELL EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD ABOUT DEKUā€™S SUPER SECRET IDENTITY, I GUESS THATā€™S ALL RIGHT NOW, NOTHING BAD COULD POSSIBLY COME OF THISā€ PRINCIPAL. listen here you little shit
anyway but if youā€™ll excuse me... IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME. IF I COULD FIND A WAY. Iā€™D TAKE BACK THOSE WORDS THAT HAVE HURT YOU, AND YOUā€™D STAY. I DONā€™T KNOW WHY I DID THE THINGS I DID. I DONā€™T KNOW WHY I SAID THE THINGS I SAID. PRIDEā€™S LIKE A KNIFE, IT CAN CUT DEEP INSIDE. WORDS ARE LIKE WEAPONS, THEY WOUND SOMETIMES.Ā BUM~ BUM~ BUM~, I DIDNā€™T REALLY MEAN TO HURT YOU. BUM~ BUM~ BUM~, I DIDNā€™T WANNA SEE YOU GO. I KNOW I MADE YOU CRY, BUT BABAY, IF I COULD TUUUUURN BACK TIIIIIIIIIIIME...

Elizabeth/Vanessa/Vanny Playing Fire Emblem Three Houses (The Sequel That Literally NOBODY Asked For :ā€™D):
Plays as F!Byleth, recruits Sylvain immediately when arriving at the Monastery even though she doesnā€™t really need him- ā€œfree unit lolā€
*Fodlan Winds starts playing on the first level* ā€œDOOT DOOT DOO DOO THE FIRST LEVEL~ā€ (Michael/Freddyā€™s ears are destroyed by her terrible singing lmfao-)Ā 
IMMEDIATELY becomes an Edelgard stan and joins her army of simps: ā€œAdrestian Empire, the obviously correct choice.ā€
*takes one look at Hubert and turns to Glitchtrap* ā€œHe reminds me of you, Daddyā€¦ā€ (William inside: ā€˜Iā€™ve been compared to a goth kid by my own daughterā€¦ heart been broke so many times y u do dis to me ;-;ā€™)
Is suspicious of Rhea from the beginning, but the archbishopā€™s motherly nature kind of makes her miss Eleanor, her own mother *cries*
ā€œBlack Eagle Supremacy all da wae, ride or die lolā€
Yells ā€œZA WARUDOOOOā€ every time she divine pulses
Hilda cannot be recruited on the Black Eagles Route *cue Liz being held back by Michael from breaking her switch lol*
Doesnā€™t know how stat-buffing items and weapons work, so she just does some random bullcrap combinations and hope that they work-
ā€œHow does one bait mage aim without my squishiest character dying please help me.ā€
ā€œThe hell is def and res level-upsā€ (doesnā€™t know how instrumentally thatā€™ll help her down the line even with how many times she gets screwed over)
Axes and Reason Magic, the ONLY correct choice. :)
ā€œHOL UP DARK SPIKES INSTAKILLS THE DEATH KNIGHT!? Yā€™ALL ALREADY KNOW WHAT TIME IT ISā€
ā€œWE KNOW BITCH, YOU ARE FERDINAND VON AEGIR.ā€
ā€œKAHEEHEE DARK SPIKES T TIME BOISā€
ā€œOoo glowy bone sword what it do- DAMN SON ITā€™S A WHIPā€
*gets sniped by that one mage halfway across the map for the uptienth time. Again.* ā€œHow is Evan so good at this gameā€
Doesnā€™t trust the Crest System in the slightest, agrees with Edelgard on her later conversations and supports. Later learns about Edelgardā€™s past (spoilers so I wonā€™t mention it), and basically brandishes the dagger she got on her utility belt <3
ā€œBernadetta do be sniping everything in sight tho never listen to the meta kidsā€
*having a mental breakdown mid-map* ā€œAHHAASDGHAAHAH I CANā€™T DO THIS"
Evil laughs alongside Hubert every damn time he evil laughs, 10,000% ships him with both Bernadetta and Ferdinand (I just think theyā€™re cute together okay??)
ā€œMiklanā€™s map is shit uwu- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT KILL IT BURN IT OH GODā€
ā€œThe hell are gambitsā€
ā€œI wasted like four divine pulses and restarted my save file two times just to stop Lindhart from dyingā€
Least favorite characters: ofc Catherine and Cyril bc sheā€™s young and opinionated lmfao
Actually builds a healer, unlike her brother, but that only helps her a little bit since she still doesnā€™t have her tanks and dancers- (its Lindhardt lol)
ā€œFIRST PARALOGUE BABY LETā€™S GOOOOO- wait wdym I canā€™t control allies on main story maps what kind of tomfoolery is thisā€
ā€œHoly Tomb map is shit and I hate it uwu- wdym protect the Crest Stones does this look like the face of a remotely decent strategist to you I hate this gameā€
ā€œįµ’Ź° įµįµ’įµˆ įµ—Ź°įµ‰Ź³įµ‰'Ė¢ įµƒ į¶ įµ’Ź³įµ į¶¦āæ įµ—Ź°įµ‰ Ź³įµ’įµƒįµˆā€
Obviously protects Edelgard lol
Crimson Flower uwu <3
*trying to be sensible for once and scanning enemy stats pre-battle* ā€œDedue Molinaro stay the hell away from meā€
ā€œSHEā€™S SCARED OF RATS THATā€™S SO CUUUUUUTEEEEEEā€
Obviously very much pissed at the artificial difficulty of the final boss map, but begrudgingly agrees that it makes sense due to Rheaā€™s true nature as per the game lore (again, spoilers so wonā€™t talk about it here)
Almost sacrifices every single unit she has due to the entire map being on fire and the knights flanking Rhea with their stupid stats, but Edelgardā€™s her closest thing to a tank and Lysithea snatched Thunderbrand from Catherine, and Lindhart chillin in the back so sheā€™ll be fine lol (except for the GODDAMN ARMORED GOLEMS, OH BOY WE LOVE GOLEMS DONā€™T WE??)
S-Supports Edelgard bc she a disaster bi/pan
ā€œWhy donā€™t we get more chapters I wanted to see Skillrex sountrack and ICBMā€™s at Shambhala come on guysā€
*Edge of Dawn end credits theme starts playing* ā€œyā€™all mind if I praise the lordā€¦?ā€

Thoughts on Dark Fortress #2
(This post is under a cut due to spoilers.)
So late with this one! some stuff irl was keeping me really busy and hyper-distracting me lately, but itā€™s finally over now so Iā€™m back on my bioware bullshit. :D
Overall there were a lot of beautiful or awe-inspiring scenes in this issue, and a lot of great, meaningful / poignant character interactions and moments between characters. Itā€™s pretty impressive actually how much was able to be packed in. I posted some of my favorite panels here. also omg! the action sequences! the big reveal! the ending!! woww
cool scene-setting, panned out shot of Neromenian and behind it, the Dark Fortress, to immediately pull you back into the world andĀ ā€˜where we left offā€™. the combination of ruined dead trees, red lights, lightning and fire/smoke is very atmospheric and hints at whatā€™s ahead
ā€œFrom this... city, if we can call it thatā€ is a sick burn and reminds you that the Qunari are technologically more advanced than most of the rest of Thedas, from their cannons to their aqueducts
more individually distinct Qunari soldiers, sth I again appreciate
! last issue there were big ā€˜You havenā€™t seen the last of Tractus!ā€™ vibes, naturally, but I didnā€™t expect him to escape by stabbing and killing the Qunari using a chair-leg..!!
the last panel on the first page of Karasten is really good. the way itā€™s colored, the way itā€™s lit, the light and shadow, the fiery backdrop, cinders floating, the details of his expression..Ā šŸ‘Œ it also makes me think to the possible future, to DA4 when mainland Thedas may be continuing to face the entirety of the Antaam
in Vaeaā€™s acrobatics scene on the bridge, I know rationally that sheā€™ll be fine but couldnā€™t help but worry for her. again I like how they donā€™t shy away from showcasing Vaeaā€™s specific abilities. also the attention to detail - youā€™d think some rocks are just some rocks, but it highlights the risk sheā€™s undertaking that if she falls itā€™s into rough seas which could dash her against the jagged rocks :ā€™S. Vaea, gooooo!
Fenrisā€™Ā ā€œEnterprising girlā€ line has bigĀ ā€œClever girlā€ meme energy :D
my heart canā€™t take Fran and Autumn leaning over the edge after Vaea in worry ;; or Aaron looking back in concern over his shoulder ;; or Franā€™s tender reassurance ;; or Autumnā€™s Worried expression ;; the care and bonds which have grown between this group of characters ;;
notice Aaron starts drinking when Vaeaā€™s away from them and theyā€™re beginning to grow worried about her safety. the poor manā€™s nerves and stress levels
Fran touching the vegetation while sheā€™s considering if she could use her magic to open the entrance from the outside is a nice touch
did Marius leap in front of Fenris and Fran there when the entrance opened?? damn, heā€™s quick. and the three of them look all scary and formidable here ready for combat. notice how the curve of the door and the spikes that go into the ground, and the composition of this panel, make it look like theyā€™re standing in front of an opened dragonā€™s maw?Ā ā€˜teethā€™, a rumblingĀ ā€˜roarā€™.. some nice foreshadowing here.
the reunion panels are so cute. Autumnā€™s lil tum as she jumps and Fran and Fenrisā€™ lil smiles of relief and at Autumnā€™s reaction to seeing Vaea, then a rare happy beam from Aaron.. feel.. the love ;__;
red lighting in the tunnel sets a dangerous, dramatic build-up mood
šŸ‘€ more info on Fenrisā€™ past, on the specifics of the process which gave him his markings. in the panel where he says that it took a long time, his shadow on the wall behind him reminds me of the shadow of his past that has dogged him for so long :(
Fenris and Marius height difference
discussion of the process shows the power difference between blue and red lyrium. blue lyrium took a long time, red lyrium is almost instant
Autumn is such an intrepid little explorer and alert scout, tail and ears up, head forward. good girl!
ā€œI just... worry about you, my girlā€Ā Ā ā€§ĀŗĀ·(Ėš ĖƒĢ£Ģ£Ģ„āŒ“Ė‚Ģ£Ģ£Ģ„ )ā€§ĀŗĀ·ĖšĀ  Iā€™ll be so sad if these are death flags for Aaron and he doesnā€™t make it out of here. also note Fran in this panel, who recently had to kill her own father and is still dealing with that, watching the strongly paternal moment between Aaron and Vaea :(
love Vaeaā€™s faith in Aaron and her sense of humor. also I donā€™t know why, maybe itā€™s because Vaea met Sebastian, but herĀ ā€œMaker, no!ā€, although in a completely different and light-hearted context, reminds me of Sebastianā€™sĀ ā€œMaker nooo!ā€ at the end of DA2 hh
the reference again to Hawke, who Fenris saw haunted by what they tried to do - save their mother - and couldnā€™t :ā€™(. also with the shadow in this panel, hereā€™s another person struggling with the shadow of his past qq. this is later emphasized again in Aaron when he continues to talk about his past and in the panel is a chain and manacle. smart visual metaphors, a must in the comic medium with limited space
mushroom skullĀ šŸ’€šŸ„
ā€œIt isnā€™t about what Iā€™ve done. It isnā€™t about my failures. Or my choices. Itā€™s about their impactā€ - heā€™s misty-eyed here as he thinks back to Ostagar.. does this line btw seem almost meta to anyone else btw? :D it feels like a meta reference to the experience of DA players and PCs, who are always having to deal with the impacts of their choices
I wanna point out that I was right on reading issue #1, when I saidĀ ā€œIā€™m positive that in panel 2 here, itā€™s the exact moment when he sees Cailan dieā€ ;;
So Aaron is also a veteran of the Battle of Denerim
reference to the Hero of Ferelden -Ā ā€œThose were someone elseā€™s battlesā€. Iā€™m being captain obvious here but I canā€™t help but [heart pitter-patter] at any and all references to the HoF
I like the.. parallel? is that the word? Aaronā€™s stories were him trying to inspire people to make a change, or him trying to convince himself of that. and now hereā€™s Vaea, inspiring Aaron with her words in these panels. the little guys can make a difference! in the world of Thedas, you donā€™t need to be a big bombastic hero or a Player Character to have an impactĀ 
lmao Fenris right on cue. the moments of humor/light-heartedness are nice because they break up the tension and are sprinkled throughout without derailing build-up or taking away from dramatic story impact. yknow?
yeah Aaron!! leave it behind. leave it to rot with mr mushroom skull (and hey the mushroom skull was there for a reason). again tho if this is a death flag iĀ 
Fenris straight down to business with the tactics
its cute how close Autumn has been sticking to Fran
Tessa checking in on Fran again, as she did in issue 1
Could Vaeaā€™sĀ ā€œWell, shitā€ be an homage to Varric? :D they have met
I also wanna point out that I was right on reading issue #1, when I saidĀ ā€œMy guess is that the thing Tractus shows Marquette and Nenealeus is probably a chained up dragon or similarā€
the poor dragon :ā€™( big dragon the Qunari had in Trespasser vibes
the sword has a really cool design, kind of reminds me of something a samurai might be depicted wielding
šŸ‘€ lore-drop! so ancient elven arcane warriors used lyrium-infused swords. this seems to confirm the sarcophagus is an ancient elven artifact, no? makes sense, wasnā€™t it said that the sarcophagusā€™ design was based on the architecture/outfit-design type elements of a specific faction, and that this was done intentionally? it looks kinda ancient elfy in make, right? also about the lyrium-infused swords of the arcane warriors, well well well.. remember that the Evanuris and the ancient elves mined the bodies of Titans for lyrium, for power and to use as a resource. hereā€™s an example of that use
as I read through this portion I became increasingly concerned for my boy Shirallas.. we really are in it nowĀ arenā€™t we šŸ˜­
the Qunari are launching STRAIGHT-UP ROCKETS ohhhh
prettyĀ ā€˜lightshowā€™ over the wall in theĀ ā€œLetā€™s hope the fortress is as secure as Danarius boastedā€ panel hh
protective older brother Fenris, impish younger sister Vaea. love that dynamic, we love to see it. sheepish and exasperated Fenris is so cute
the Bone Pit dragon fight with Hawke and co reference!
I wonder how long the dragon has been captive here, and how Danarius/Tractus was able to capture it
lore-wise what are the implications here? when Fenrisā€™ ritual was being undertaken, the sword and the sarcophagus were bombarded with magic, fire spells. in this one they aim to have the dragon bombard it with fire-breathing. is it just fire that makes it work/powers it, or is there magic in dragonfire, in dragons? it reminds me of ā€œYour heart beats with the old blood, as well. Where do you think it comes from? It sings of a time when dragons ruled the skies. A time before the Veil, before the mysteries were forgotten. Can you hear it?ā€
purple color for the dragonā€™s growling sounds/typeset is a great idea
lets.. goooo!!!!
Marquette is such a nerd. later on when he activates the sarcophagus he has mad scientist vibes
the dramatic reunion face-offs begin!! as the prophecy foretold!!!!1
true to form, Marius DOES have nothing to say ahahaha, even at this, his personal climax. maybe Marius dies in the next issue, but Tessa lives and gets to go back to Charter
these Venatori look almost Star Wars
Shirallas my boyy.. nooo... donā€™t do it šŸ˜­
ah ah ah! try casting magic with no ARMS
Francesca a beacon of blue light and goodness
the splash combat page is masterful. everyone playing a part, so much going on, everything happening at once. a thing that sticks out to me about it is Aaronā€™s outstretched hand and alarm as he watches Fran fallĀ 
Autumn with her lil hackles raised
ā€œThe Venatori have returnedā€ dun dun dunn
goodbye Shirallas šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
the composition of the second to last page with triangle/diamond-shaped panels and the framing of dragon wings is awesome
the Dread Wolf rises, ā€œthe Tevinter Imperium will rise againā€.. on-point on-point cohesion
there he is, the red wraith
Super Saiyan Shirallas
what a note to end an issue on
wow wow wow!!
and separate to the above, some speculation based on the cover of Issue 3: the piece of metal looks like a broken collar coming off Shirallas, like the one there was on the cover of Issue 2 coming off the dragon. also heā€™s all bulky now with draconic talons/claws (reminds me of in-world legends of Reavers who dug too deep of their own power after drinking dragon blood and whose bodies consequently began to manifest subtle reptilian traits actually). Iā€™ll be interested to see what results of this allusion between Shirallas and the dragon!!

MEXICAN L'MANBURG LETS GOOOOOOO
(rp)THEY GOT NO PROOF AND HE KNOWS IT
Quackity is the only MFer who can talk CIRCLES around Dream and I LOVE HIM FOR IT
AGAIN, AGAIN, "Why are you getting involved" I LOVE EVERY TIME QUACKITY POINTS THIS THE FUCK OUT
Dream resorting to threats, his only resort is violence, it always is and thats why QUACKITY IS GONNA TROUNNCE HIM
"I think you're forgetting that I designated this the holy land" - wow they pushed him this far aND THEN CALLED HIM ON IT LIKE FUCKING CHAMPS LETS GOOOOO
"SO YOUR A TYRANT THEN" - Karl
"So your breaking the rules AGAIN" - Quackity
Quackity is so on point in shutting down Sapnap's instinct towards violence, he's right they HAVE to win this with words they HAVE TOO. They have Dream backed into a corner as long as they aren't the ones to instigate violence on the Holy Land and its AMAZING
also hes EXACTLY RIGHT there is LITERALLY no proof other than meta gaming that they caused the explosion its SO PERFECT
"If you pull that fucking [rocket launcher] that is actual terrorism. We're playing a politics game, this is easy, this is easy, we have the upper hand here" Quackity KNOWS how much of an upper hand he has in this and I LOVE IT I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
he's even talking about 'pushing narratives' hes so smart hes so smart I love him
...also I love the character arc Sapnap's on where he's realizing that Dream really really doesn't care about him. I saw it a little bit when he came to bully Tommy, trying to reclaim what it used to be like, to bond over one of Dream's interests really. But now, now Sapnap's stated it out loud and actually acknowledged it, and I love it
"raid MY castle, MY THRONE" omg
KARL POINTING OUT THAT DREAM THREATENED THE HOLY LANDS KING KING KING!!!!!!
lol Eret reaching out, they're too good for this, they don't deserve this happening to them lmao
"I literally don't care about the throne" gOD "its just a bunch of gold blocks" once again Dream not giving a SHIT about sentimentality and how this server RUNS
"KINDA SOUNDS LIKE A TYRANT TO ME" heyyy buddy, you know who likes to call his political enemies terrorists Dream?? Hey you know who likes to do that, huh buddy????? TYRANTS MOTHERFUCKER GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE
"WE PUT HUMAN LIFE AHEAD OF A FEW BLOCKS AND THAT MAKES US TERRORISTS???" KARL I'VE NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO YOU BEFORE BUT I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU OK, YOU, YOU GET IT
But seriously I think Karl is just catching on to HOW FUCKED UP DREAM AND HIS POWER IS, and is fully behind this, even knowing that Eret's not behind the explosion. Because the thing is, that DREAM doesn't know that (maybe not even cc!Dream knows that it's unclear!) so if Eret really HAD killed him, this is the kind of response he would have gotten. For getting KILLED, PEACEFULLY PROTESTING. and THATS REALLY FUCKED UP!!!!!
Also I would like to point out that they have made no indication that they're going to continue ''''griefing''', and yet Dreams goal is for them to "Stop". I think the reason Quackity had to do this, the reason Dream's so upset, is exactly because Dream does NOT like to be made to acknowledge the factions as actual Things until he has too (and even then he likes to declare war on them and say they aren't a country at the same time. Like a Tyrant.)
"In my mind Mexican L'Manburg doesn't exist" "So no one can form a country????"
"And I'll talk to Tubbo about it" FUCKER LIKE U HAVE THAT PULL ASS. what u gonna put the walls back up if Tubbo doesn't agree with you???? He really does see Tubbo as fully in his power now that Tommy has been exiled huh
"we just want to be recognized as a country" "THAT is the ONLY time you have ever stepped foot and EVER recognized us as something" BOOM THERE IT IS THIS IS WHY THIS HAD TO HAPPEN THIS WAY
Quackity trying to give up the Tyrant angle, because he knows its ineffective, Absolute King Karl not giving up on it because he BELIEVES (to the arguments detriment to be fair lmao)
Nothing is the operative word Dream, you like to ignore these things because as long as you don't acknowledge them, they're just another part of Dream SMP to you
"A country that is established has to have a fair and just and logical ruler" FIRST OFF, first time we're hearing these rules Dream thanks for laying that out to us soooooo clearly and definitely not just covering your ass bc your hypocrisy has been pointed out :) :) :)
SECOND, what bULLSHIT, to say that a ruler has to be "fair and just and logical", has to be up to YOUR STANDARDS basically to rule!!! its not enough for them to form and have people follow them, oh no, they have to be up to YOUR IDEALS. EPHEMERAL IDEALS that can CLEARLY be taken away, as seen by the L'Manburg walls being put up after a time of peace!
And lets talk about why you think Tubbo of all people is someone you consider up to your standards AFTER exiling Tommy. Because it wasn't TUBBO who changed, those standards have NOTHING in them about a cabinent or who lives in the country. NO, its because now Tubbo has proven to be CONTROLLABLE, and therefore a PUPPET GOVERNMENT
AND QUACKITY HAS ALWAYS ALLLLLWAYS SEEN THROUGH YOUR SHIT DREAM, NO WONDER YOU DON'T WANT TO GRANT HIM LEGITIMACY
lol its so much clearer because Tubbo has SO much chaos energy the HYPOCRISY
"Do you think through anything you do" the sheer AUDACITY, QUACKITY IS THE MOST CALCULATING PERSON ON THE SERVER ARE YOU KIDDING ME. It just goes to show HOW MUCH Quackity has this in hand and has Dream FOOLED, how much Dream DOES NOT UNDERSTAND QUACKITY AT *ALL*. He's had SO MUCH CONTROL over EVERY ONE in the confrontation, from Dream himself down to keeping his men in line, to keeping the conversation on track. ARE YOU TELLING ME SOMEONE WHO CAN CONTROL THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION with HIS WORDS ALONE is someone who DOESN'T THINK THINGS THROUGH????
Poor Eret, they truly are just a figurehead at this point, and nothing shows it more than the fact that they are only NOW joining the 'leaders' call. They were USED to get to Dream because Quackity completely understands that the crown is just a symbol and they really have NO say, despite the fact that it was really them who has been wronged in this case!!!! Dream isn't even PRETENDING he's upset on Eret's behalf!
Even Eret's body language, its looking up to Dream, its crouching, its supplication
Dream is really going off of either meta knowledge or PURE Assumption
the SMILE on Quackity's Face when he starts laying out terms he's COMPLETELY willing to do
"How about we start from a fresh slate, it's a bloodshed history, we'll change it" ayayyyyyy a dawn of a NEW DAYYY
"I'll Apologize to Eret but I won't Apologize to you" KING SHIT KING SHIT
WHAT A RUSH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heroes Fjeast Talk ep 105
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to another episode of SofĆ­a Overanalyzes Everything With Shipper Googles. I hope youā€™ve missed my stupid long-ass metas because Iā€™m about to peak apart that conversation the M9 had with Jester during their Heroes Feast and Iā€™m gonna do it mostly from a Fjorester POV so if thatā€™s not your cup of tea, not even from a purely meta standpoint, I suggest you get off this ride now. Otherwise, please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times because Iā€™m about to yell, use all caps, bolded letters and a ton of screenshots.Ā 
Ok? Here we gooooo
First of all, when Jester starts talking about The Traveler, Fjord looks so concerned but clearly seems like he doesnā€™t want to step in while sheā€™s talking about this, like heā€™s afraid sheā€™ll deflect. That is, until she looks straight at him while saying:Ā 
ā€œI know all of you [looks at him and quickly looks away] are concerned that maybe heā€™s [looks at him again, holding his gaze] taking advantage or he doesnā€™t have our best interest.ā€
Tumblr media
And Fjord lets her talk about how important The Traveler is to her and how she still wants him around even if he doesnā€™t want to be a god. And Fjord insists on why did he want everyone to come here in the first place then, but before Jester can answer Beau brings up the memory-stealing issue with this island.
Tumblr media
So Jester admits The Traveler knew. And Fjord. Is. Pissed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right up until Jester turns to talk to him again, trying to explain The Travelerā€™s plan and heā€™s trying to understand thisĀ ā€œunloading of peopleā€
Tumblr media
But heā€™s not happy and you can see clear as day how the dots connect for him, betweenĀ ā€œgetting read of peopleā€ and Jester being one of those people, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He even nods when she explains the thing about The Traveler wanting to beĀ ā€œnot as availableā€ anymore because, for the third time, Jester turns to him in her efforts to explain The Travelerā€™s actions, looking for support and reassurance.Ā 
Tumblr media
ā€œBut he sent you here,ā€ he protestes softlyĀ 
Tumblr media
AND THEN THEY SHARE A LOOK FOR LIKE 3 SILENT HEAVY SECONDS BEFORE SHE SAYSĀ ā€œYEAHā€ AND HE INSISTSĀ ā€œwhat if you forgot him?ā€ but seriously that look is so long and charged with silent words i could dieeeeeeeee
Tumblr media
ā€œHe promised me he would save me... and us, he said all of us.ā€ I love how Jester and Fjord just zero in on each other during group conversations, like you can tell when they are speaking to all of the group and when they just enter this little bubble when itā€™s just one on one. You can see it here, by the way Jester is telling him sheā€™d be alright and then sheā€™s like !! well all of us, and turns back to the group.Ā 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then Yasha asks how Jester feels about the Traveler sending people here and sheā€™s so sad. She tries to turn to Fjord as she explains how the Traveler doesnā€™t always care about how he affects people and Fjord is not happy about that because we know WE KNOW that that is his main concern when it comes to Jesterā€™s well being. Also, the fact that just as he turns to look at her she looks away?? i cry
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ā€œTo him we are like ants sometimes, you know? We donā€™t think about the fact when we squish an ant, you know? It doesnā€™t mean anything to us but the ant is just... really sad.ā€ LOOK AT HOW SHEā€™S TRYING TO TELL HIM SHEā€™S SAD
Tumblr media
ā€œOr just... dead.ā€ ā€œOr dead.ā€ HEā€™S SO CONCERNED. JESTER YOURE NO ANT. JESTER THIS COULD GO SO BAD. JESTER. JESTER PLS.Ā 
Tumblr media
And thereā€™s this pause that you might miss... where all of the M9 are at a loss for words. They all want to help, you can tell, but they donā€™t know how to. And when Fjord looks out to them, like heā€™s expecting someone else to intercede, they are all looking at him... expecting him to helm this conversation, even if he didnā€™t start it. I love that. I love that the M9 collectively acknowledge the depth of the bond Fjord and Jester share and when it comes to this, they often defer to either of them to help the other.Ā 
Tumblr media
ā€œJester, we all want whatā€™s best for you, of course. Have you talked to him at all about things going back to how they were when you were little? Just being... your best friend.ā€
But I love that Fjord is really really really really trying not to come off as judgmental or disapproving of the Traveler. Like, we know that heā€™s not his biggest fan, but Fjord has repeatedly acknowledged how important he is to Jester, so he tries to come up with solutions that involve trusting her belief in him.Ā Ā 
Tumblr media
And Jester is so frustrated, getting increasingly upset as she speaks about the Traveler becoming more distance. And I love that, again, when it becomes a little too much and her voice begins to break, she turns to Fjord for support and he gives her the softest nod showing he understands her being upset.Ā ā€œBefore he used to be here all the time, you know?ā€
Tumblr media
ā€œYouā€™ve done so much for him and I know heā€™s done so much for you but trying to make him happy in this, it puts you at risk... it has put you at risk, and us. That doesnā€™t seem, like you said, the most considerate thing.ā€
Tumblr media
DƑLAKJFƑAL THIS IS THE HEART OF THE MATTER FOR HIM. ITā€™S HER BEING AT RISK. HE CANā€™T TAKE THAT. HE WONā€™T.Ā 
But also I wanna talk about how Fjord seems to be talking about himself a little bit here?Ā About how much Jester has done for him?? and how, sure, heā€™s also tried to do things for her and support her but maybe heā€™s worried that his shit will put her at risk with the whole Ukā€™otoa thing still lurking around??? LOOK LOOK LOOK I KNOW THIS IS GOING INTO DEEP META TERRITORY BUT Iā€™m just saying, Fjord has a tendency of projecting what he wants to tell to her onto other people (like when he compliments Marion and talks about how lovely she is) so I donā€™t think itā€™s a stretch to say that his concerns about her relationship with The Traveler are a reflection of his own worries??
Anyway moving ooon
Conversation deviates to Beauā€™s offer to kill The Traveler and to whether or not Jester more/as powerful as he is. And, hereā€™s the thing, Jester doesnā€™t seem very comfortable with either of those premises. First of all, she loves the Traveler, heā€™s her friend and even if things might be strained right now between them I donā€™t think she wants him killed anymore than sheā€™d ever want any of the M9 killed. Second, the power thing is not how clerics work? AND implying that power is all Jesterā€™s and wasnā€™t given by the Traveler ā€”while it might be a comforting thoughts for others and comes from a well meaning placeā€” is again putting too much responsibility on her shoulders and sheā€™s losing that support that sheā€™s already mourning when it comes to the traveler being always there for her.Ā 
I think Fjord sees this, which is why his train of thought goes else where: he doesnā€™t point out her awesome magic or her powers (though we know based on his conversation with Beau after the reveal that he thinks what she can do is very impressive)... instead he focuses on what makes Jester special that is intrinsic to her, the things that no god can give or take away and what makes him value her so much.Ā 
Tumblr media
ā€œAnd you care, about people you know, about people you donā€™t know. You cause chaos but in the end you donā€™t wanna hurt people. You care. In many ways youā€™re much more than heā€™ll probably ever be.ā€
THE WAY HE LOOKS DOWN WHEN HE SAYS THAT LAST PART. LIKE HEā€™S CONFESSING SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY. LIKE HEā€™S SHINING LIGHT INTO A SECRET OF HOW HE SEES HER THAT HEā€™S BEEN HOLDING ON TO FOR SO LONG.
Tumblr media
This line destroyed me because i remember that one talks where Travis explained how much Fjord values Jester and how that was heightened after he momentarily lost his sword back in Xhorhas because it made me realize that powers werenā€™t as important or constant for him as her unwavering support and he realized that was what had true value for him. So him deviating a talk about whether or not sheā€™s powerful to highlight her kindness and how that is what makes her so much better than The Traveler could ever dream of being?? Im fine im fine im fine im fine im fine
also that look full of yearning and love and admiration he gives her after?
Tumblr media
TRAVIS PLS
so of course the talk goes on about how cool Jester is and how much the M9 love and admire her and iTā€™S WHAT SHE DESERVES AND IM SO GLAD THEY SAID IT and then Fjord ā€”bless himā€” gives us the ultimate golden way to close this with the truth about found family that he struggled to understand for so long as he came to terms with his relationship with himself, power and vulnerability... he says the one thing her constant support and love has taught him:
Tumblr media
ā€œAnd, if you ever want to, thereā€™s life beyond The Traveler. We are here.ā€
LOOK AT THEM
LOOK AT HER AS SHE THANKS THEM FOR THEIR SUPPORT
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THOSE SMILES
BYE BYE BYE BYE

RvB Reactions (3/?)
Excerpts from my chat with @tumblingxelian about RvB (S7- S9). [1 2 3 4 5]
Properly animated fight scene!?!?!??!?
fishyfod: "Simmons, transform to motorcycle mode!"
tumblingxelian: "You got it sir" Gegogegok
...
fishyfod: Caboose doesn't like Tucker too YES Caboose you're so valid
tumblingxelian: To be fair, its only cos he doesn't want Tucker stealing his BFF. Of course by the same token. Caboose said Fuck Tucker Lives and he's so valiiid!
...
fishyfod: "Prepare to get Simmonsized!"
tumblingxelian: He tries so hard
...
fishyfod: The short-term memory loss is brilliant
tumblingxelian: Hhahaha "Jesus Christ now I have two of them!"
...
fishyfod: Wash is rogue! Let's gooooo!
tumblingxelian: Wash is off the hook, what crimes will he commit?
...
fishyfod: "You're rounded and you can't wear pants"
...
fishyfod: Properly animated fight scene!?!?!??!?
tumblingxelian: Welcome to the arrival of Monty Oum's animation, what an arrival it was.
fishyfod: Their little animations add so much now
tumblingxelian: Gosh yes, so much personality.Ā 
...
fishyfod: Simmons hates sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
tumblingxelian: Pffft XD
...
tumblingxelian: Also gosh, seeing Sarge legit pull off a badass plan was great fun, especially as it still felt in character with their usual shenanigans and nonsense
...
fishyfod: "I saved Tucker! Oh wait. I saved Tucker."
...
fishyfod: My approval of violence inflicted on Tucker is quite high
...
fishyfod: "You know, pick up trails, like footprints." "Footprints. In the desert." "*scoffs* Don't special agents have the ability to track their targets through any kind of terrain, follow broken tree branches-" "Tree branches. In the desert." "Okay these are bad examples. Maybe heat signatures?" "In the desert."
tumblingxelian: Honestly same, fair and mood. I love that he then checks in with Meta on that front XD
...
fishyfod: Doc always gets stuck as a hostage, huh?
tumblingxelian: Its a tragedy XD
...
fishyfod: Sheila and Simmons talking is so good
tumblingxelian: Hahaha, gosh yeah those two work surprisingly well together XDĀ 
...
fishyfod: Sarge???
tumblingxelian: Oh gosh did he break?
fishyfod: "And Caboose... it's good to see you." "Thanks! I'm really enjoying the speech so far."
tumblingxelian: Hahaha Oh gosh that speech was great.
...
fishyfod: I see how a lot of his style here in RvB passed on to RWBY, especially Yang's fight scenes
...
fishyfod: Why do they have FACES!?!
tumblingxelian: Welcome to season 9, where everything changes, again!
...
fishyfod: S9 is just half normal RvB, half serious RvB with Monty's animation
...
fishyfod: "It looks like we have a mystery to solve!" Simmons you're precious
...
fishyfod: "Cuts? In fight sequences? Never heard of it." ~ Monty Oum, probably

ā€œThis flask is Taliesinā€™s new characterā€ shut up Sam donā€™t mock us
Theyā€™re FINALLY going to go check out the Taskers and i swear if Taliesinā€™s character isnā€™t with them Iā€™m gonna die
(unless this is all a trick and Taliesin is just hanging out until Molly can reasonably be brought backā€¦)
Caleb stepping in and doing some strategizing both makes me proud and makes me sad because I guarantee he was great at that before Everything happened
Beau and Caleb disagreeing over a spider
ā€œShady Debaters Debate Teamā€ I would wear that shirt
Nila wants to use her lighting let her fuck people up with her lightning draw people outside for her to fry please
Yes please get yourself some goddamn healing potions
YAAAAS NILA HAS HEALING WORDS
and good berries xD
GUYS I STILL LOVE HER SO MUCH I WOULD STILL DIE FOR HER
The Bone Orchardā€¦ooooooo
Necromancers maybe?
Please go to the Taskers first I feel like Taliesin has to be with them
If people have been torturning Jester Iā€™m gonna cry sheā€™s too sweet for this
Nilaā€™s smell bag is so cute yā€™all stop teasing her
ā€œYou are relying on me, Iā€™m very happyā€ sHEā€™S SO PURE
Oh shiiiiit she just saved them from freaky forest ground monsters thatā€™s my girl!
GRAVE SITE Iā€™M TELLING YA ITS NECROMANCERS
Caleb getting tired of the debate and just heading over the gate
Not just carelessly flinging herself after him smh
Spooooooky place I donā€™t know how I feel about this
YAAAAAAAAS THEY FOUND HIM HOLY SHIT AHHHHHHHHHHHH OF COURSE HE LIVES IN A GODDAMN GRAVEYARD I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HE IS THE ULTIMATE GOTH
HEā€™S A FIRBOLG???
ā€œCaduceus Clayā€ AND HES A CLERIC GOD BLESS Jester will be delighted that she doesnā€™t have to do all the healing anymore
Caduceus seems delightful Iā€™m delighted I MISSED YOU TALIESIN
fuck i love him already
heā€™s like the goddamn grave keeper TALIESIN COULD YOU HAVE GONE ANY MORE GOTH
B: ā€œYouā€™re drinking dead-people tea?ā€
Cad: ā€œArenā€™t we all?ā€
THE. ULTIMATE. GOTH.
ā€¦canā€™t bring Molly back. Iā€™m not surprised at all given that it would be weird to bring his own character back, but still. Thatā€™s okay. Itā€™s fine.
He just figured heā€™d sit there with his tea until someone came to help him leave lol
C: ā€œWelcome to the Mighty Neinā€
Cad: ā€œThereā€™s only, uhā€”ā€œ

I canā€™t decide if this is going to be a disaster, them going after them again right now, or???
LETS NOT SPLIT UP AT ALL EVEN JUST TO KILL TWO GUARDS
Taking off her armor is a horrible idea guys
Guest!Ashley has the cutest face and the purest laugh??? I love her
While weā€™re on break Iā€™m trying to decide, is it weird that Taliesin chose to play a cleric when they already have a cleric? Part of me is like ā€œwhat if he did that because he knew they were gonna need the temporary heals and heā€™s just gonna stick around as Cad until Jester is back and then heā€™s gonna rez Mollyā€ and part of me is just like bfs girl Molly is gone let him go??
I donā€™t think Iā€™ll be able to move on from Molly for sure though until the M9 move on from Shady Creek, with Cad tagging along.
Frumpkin the 3-HP spider
Not asking Cad questions nervously is adorable
Beau just sticking her face in the bag for the luck orb xD
Caleb: talks about breaking a guyā€™s skull
Nila: ā€œexcellentā€
Poor Taliesin having to figure out a whole new character. Heā€™d barely really figured out Molly yet.
20 for a perception check nice job Keg!
Sumalee accidentally meta gaming is honestly just cute enough that i donā€™t even care she could metagame all day and iā€™d be fine with it

DONā€™T TAKE AWAY HASTE

Cad coming in with the heals heck yes

Aw first time he managed not to have issues
Maybe Lorenzo isnā€™t homeā€¦ that would be greatā€¦
Or heā€™s downstairsā€¦
Damn, Taliesin, thatā€™s so amazingly morbid and fantastic. Just melting them away into fertilizer.
Nott apologizing for not being able to unlock the door and Caleb reassuring her that itā€™s not her fault. My heart.
Trapped door.
They are all getting silly xD
Oh god okay here we go
ā€œI like pink better than purpleā€ Liam how dare you
Manacles again ffs Matt
God a whole underground place
ā€œHeā€™s looking for green or blue or gothā€
Fuuuuck they gotta get through at least 3 more??
And still no Lorenzo
fuck i donā€™t like thiiiiiiis
Lorenzo is absolutely in there. If he was upstairs he would have come down.
Youā€™re assuming that there isnā€™t another way out that they could escape through and flank you
Mattā€™s like ā€œI just got the downstairs map out guysā€
Cad/Clay/Whatever like ā€œletā€™s just?? ask??ā€
Oh no

ā€œfucking Phil, ammiright?ā€
fuck this son of a bitch up
16 damage fuck him uppppp Nila!

Clay justā€¦ turning him into mulch Iā€™m crying
Damn Iā€™m so impressed they took care of that so well
fuck traps
PLEASE LET NILAā€™S BABY BE OKAY
Nila being such a mom is my favorite like Iā€™m so here for the peaceful person who has never hurt anyone, but will fuck you UP for touching their loved ones
SOMEONE HEAL ASSAR
IM CRYING
MATT STOP IT
itā€™s fine Iā€™m only crying a little
ā€œbe well. be well my son.ā€
Iā€™m very much crying
Let her rip it open Matt let her do it
Okay Nila itā€™s okay let Nott try or Caleb then if Nott canā€™t
SAM stop with the 1s!!
SHES GOT HER FAMILY BACK AGAIN I CRYYYYYYY
the power of love is stronger than metal bars hell yes
ā€œI love it when it works for the narrative!ā€ lol Matt at his most DM-i-est
FAMILY HUG ITS FINE IM NOT CRYING
oh god Iā€™m gonna miss Nila so much
WE LOVE YOU NILA I HOPE WE SEE YOU AGAIN SOME DAY
FIRBOLG HUG
Iā€™ve cried way too much these past like idk 7 episodes
Nila is forever a member of the M9 yā€™all save that feather
itā€™s fine
itā€™s totally fine
How many members of the M9 are there now
Fjord Jester Caleb Nott Beau Molly Yasha, then Shakaste, Cali, Kiri, Keg, Nila, and now Clay.
God this was such a good episode.
Caduceus is great guys. Heā€™s different enough from Molly not to make me heartsore, and I think heā€™ll bring a nice new dynamic? Iā€™m not at all disappointed by him (not that I expected to be, I knew Taliesin wouldnā€™t let us down).
Iā€™m gonna miss Nila so much. Like Marisha said, she was the softness the group needed.
I canā€™t believe Sumalee has never properly played before! Thatā€™s amazing! She was amazing! I hope I can be half that great at my first proper game!
And Iā€™m so excited to see how it goes next week, live from GenCon! Excited to see how this section wraps up. Itā€™s gonna be amazing.
