#but this is not the kind of narrative thats gonna be resolved easily and drama free and i Love That Shit

[rnelodyy]

"why are bells hells still arguing about what to do they should make a decision already" no!!!!!!! this is the "fly by the seat of your pants" party. this is the "we panicked and made porn" party. this is the "concussion theatre" party. i want them to not make any choice until they are At the fucking controls, hem and haw and argue for an hour and then panic and do something insane.

they are faced with an impossible choice that will affect the lives of the entire world. there's eight people in their party, all of whom have different opinions and perspectives, and they are on a MASSIVE time crunch. their options are risk the world to chase off the gods or go back to the status quo, and there's no way orym would agree to the former, and there's no way dorian and/or ashton would agree to the latter. this kind of debate is what you can make a career out of arguing about and they had to figure this shit out in like a month. Just yesterday they got another option they hadn't previously considered and they're having to talk about it in the middle of All The Other Shit they have to do, but if they pause to debate it NOW the decision will be made FOR them.

^^^^^ that is literally the juiciest fucking character drama imaginable. and you want it to stop??? you want them to just agree on a course of action and stick with it??????

look this is just what a morally grey narrative does to a mf. the mighty nein and vox machina didn't argue like this bc they didnt HAVE to, their villains (while absolutely deep and complex characters) had all the moral greyness of a saturday morning cartoon, so the only options they had were "stop them or dont and if you dont you're fucked". i fucking love VM and especially the M9 but istg im going to personally add five more minutes of God Arguments to the next episode for every person i see complaining that BH doesn't have the simple solution to the complex problem yet.
