I love Liam acting as Jester, he’s way too good at it XD

---

Also, Jester asking via Liam: “Is there anyone here you find super attractive~?”

Molly, immediately: “Yes.”

Voice of God: (she wanted to ask Yasha)

Liam: ... Oops

Still bitter that Molly flirting with the party and Caleb never got to be explored more in depth

holding mollymauk “i don’t care what terrible things any of you have done, you’re here now” tealeaf and caleb “i believe in second starts and that’s enough for me” widogast like barbies and smushing their faces together to make them kiss

[beauregardlionett]

Yasha: admittedly, i am not very good at throwing things also Yasha: spends the back half of the campaign just chucking shit at enemies

[doctorloverboy]

also, the reason the lucien thing is so funny to me is a quiz to find out if your oc was a mary sue that i took in middle school. one of the questions was whether their name was some variant of lucy (i.e. lucia, luc, lucien)

Me, listening to The Gentleman speak in Ep 14: Oh, this guy F U C K S

[skeleton-or-die]

Remember when, in Talks Machina, Taliesin said he wanted Molly's backstory to be a secret for a long time?? He wanted his to be the absolute last revealed???

Looks like Matt. Has his own ideas.

pumat: you gotta give us time to restock, your friends here are mighty hungry

yasha: well they're the mighty...nein

yasha: *INSTANT REGRET*

Okay, I'll bite, especially because I'm not seeing a lot of fans discussing these thoughts...Kingsley, minus a few feelings and vague memories, hasn't done anything that wouldn't fit with a Mollymauk with most of his memories removed. Kingsley could easily be a Mollymauk mostly rebooted back to when he woke up before he met the circus...just like Caduceus asked to put the soul back as it was.

How much of your identity is from your memories, and how much of your identity is from muscle memory (juggling), and how much of your identity is from your heart/"soul"?

A true character analysis would deserve a lot more than what I'm currently going to say, but just a few points:

1) Mollymauk woke up saying "empty" for a few weeks. So did Kingsley (until the restoration spell seemed to accelerate the process).

2) Mollymauk never recognized that who he was before he "woke up" was him. He was obstinate and irrational about denying the identity that came before his current existence even when old memories surfaced.

3) One of the first things that The Mighty Nein said to their newly revived purple tiefling is that they suggested that maybe he might want to change his name...which he promptly did once he woke up out of his fugue state. (Side note, that was actually a good move on their part...Mollymauk was never truly his name...per Taliesin on the Talks Machina for c2e14, Gustav named him Mollymauk. Taliesin said, "He didn't choose his name. It was chosen for him." Kingsley at least was allowed to choose his own name.)

4) Mollymauk was obsessed with looking fashionable/stylish and modeled his fashion off of the first people who took him in. Kingsley did the same.

5) Kingsley appears to have residual feelings about The Mighty Nein that mirror Mollymauk's feelings for them.

6) Mollymauk was very extra, indulged to excess, and was joyful but also sarcastic and judgemental of others. Kingsley's personality mirrors Mollymauk's personality.

6) Mollymauk was a con artist, but he always said to himself that he was a con artist but not in a mean way. He tried to convince himself he wasn't hurting anyone. Kingsley will apparently figure out an elaborate con to steal a boat and abandon Fjord in order to join the Revelry, no doubt while also gathering a cult of personality around him like he does. He will be "a pirate, but not the worst." A good con artist. A pirate, but not the worst.

The nature of this character remains the same. This character was always about waking up with only vague memories and starting almost completely anew.

"It's not the best thing that happened to me; it's the thing that happened to me. I found peace in building a new person." -Mollymauk, "Fleeting Memories" (Episode 14)

I feel like when you’re ready to know your past, I would support that // You don’t even seem curious about yourself... we really liked you.

[cinnamon-dragon]

In the episode Fleeting Memories (ep.14) Molly said:

Let me make this abundantly clear: My name is Molly. That person is dead, and not me. It's just a person who had this body. They abandoned it. It's mine now.

...and while it seemed that while Lucien wanted to prove that wrong...

he was right in the end?

Genuinely think I’ve sweat through my shirt from stress.

Watching C2E14 is WILD because listening to Cree talk about the Tomb Takers originally is fucking crazy. That’s long game holy shit
