Mihawk is such a capricious dude, oh my god. The only dude you know who is always itching for a fight but only ever a specific kind of fight so he goes out of his way to take the path of least resistance for everything else.

Like he would rather leave than fight Don krieg, Sail away than decimate the marines, live in peace instead of challenging the other emperors for the one piece. And when they do he’d rather follow buggy’s idea of just being smarter about how they go about it instead of brute forcing it like the rest. He is constantly leaving fights but then a swordsman of mild repute and an interesting technique engages him in a battle and suddenly you have his whole attention. Like with vista it was obvious that he could have just cleared him like he did everyone else but he’d never seen the flower sword techinque and by god was he going to miss this chance. And so he engages him in what is essentially a spare.

Because Mans isn’t looking for a fight, instead, like a middle aged director of a short indie film, he’s chasing a feeling.

He wants to feel like his 19 year old self did when he was strong but there were people stronger. When there were still obstacles to overcome limits to exceed. When the world was large and exciting and he wasn’t just waiting for it to catch up with him. When he could look at Shanks as the person he is instead of the person he could have been.

He wants to look at Shanks and not see visions of a grinning red haired boy with 2 arms and a strawhat laughing in the dirt and asking for “just one more round Hawky I swear I’ll beat you this time”

But there is nowhere Mihawk can run that that boy won’t haunt him.

It is an interesting conundrum.

Keyleth looked at Ashton and said they were Titan of blood, and that the Tree of Atrophy might have wisdom for them.

When asked about how to unlock his potential, the Tree told Ashton several things he knew already, and one big thing they didn’t: the existence of a shard of Rau’Shan and its location. The Tree gave him a warning about holding both, but no hint of how Ashton’s own dormant shard could be awakened.

The party went and retrieved the shard, with Ashton taking the lead and the risk to get it. And when they held in, Matt said they felt like it held the key to unlocking himself.

In Whitestone, Ashton gets warnings and caution against absorbing the shard, but there’s hesitancy from the NPCs about the harness in general, so the warnings all kind of muddle together. And again, there’s no alternative provided for unlocking the dormant earth shard within Ashton.

And then there is zero discussion of anyone besides Ashton or Fearne absorbing the shard. And Fearne says she doesn’t want it and thinks Ashton should have it.

So this is the information Ashton has. This is the information Taliesin has.

And as Matt said in the last 4-Sided Dive, he often makes scenarios with no right answer.

Did Matt have a plan for how someone who absorbed the Rau’Shaun shard could help Ashton awaken their own? Yes, I’m sure he did, now that he said he didn’t expect Ashton to go for it. But there was no in- or out-of-game hint of what that would be.

There’s no in-game reason for Ashton to think that, in passing up the shard, they weren’t passing up the opportunity to unlock their own Titan abilities.

Imogen embraced the storm and saved the party after the Otohan fight.

Chetney embraces his wild side and found acceptance.

Fearne gave her warmth to a ghost pirate and got a boon.

Laudna has give and take when engaging with Delilah for power.

And last episode, Ashton dived head first into lava, took damage every round, and ended up with the thing they wanted.

Matt rewards bold play, and that creates bold players.

I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same.

Question

Why in the 9 hells do the guys look so vastly different from the women in the bolas gang

The f!li be looking bucking beautiful and as breathtaking as ever (ignoring obvious icks). And completely ignoring the fact that I prefer a female form....why do the guys look so bad? Like I will ALWAYS choose the f!lis....HOWEVER, I always found the males attractive in some way (Either by their clothes or if they have long hair lmafo)....but yeah no. Aerin looks the most attractive but...yeah no..

low key got me like

Every time I see a Mighty Nein post campaign thing I look for Kingsley and feel a little sad when he isn't there with them all

Does King visit?

Does he feel welcome with the Nein?

Does he sit on Darktow feeling his past as Molly yearn and scream for his family but holds back because he can't stand the pitiful stares, the longing.

He can't get over his family looking through him bc Molly's dead even though he's *right fucking there*. That he IS their friend who simply chose a new name and a new path. That he is the same soul.

Does King lie awake wondering who he is...regretting his existence?

Does he feel empty despite being surrounded by so much?

Is Kingsley Tealeaf still feeling royal and loved after all these years?

Breaking news: members of the New Jersey Devils hockey team have woken this morning to discover they've grown... horns?! How did these appendages appear? Are they demonic in origin? Why has this mysterious mutation only affected the Devils' active roster? And, most importantly: how will the boys play hockey if they can't wear their helmets? More at six

Fun horn facts!

Jack’s horns are modeled off the pronghorn. I chose it because 1) American, 2) I thought it was cute and 3) the shape of its horns is cool, but then it got infinitely better when I discovered the pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in the western hemisphere. A very appropriate coincidence :D

Nico’s horns are modeled off the alpine ibex, a species of wild goat that lives in the Swiss alps. Nico's are scaled down because I don't think he'd be able to hold up the weight of full-size ibex horns lol. The inspiration here is pretty obvious: hee hoo Swiss man gets Swiss goat horns

Introducing...

Gwen Dastrup

But I must admit it, I would marry you in an instant / Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around / But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life / And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Gwen's plan for her life had certainly never involved becoming a Clubmobile girl for the Red Cross, serving coffee, doughnuts and pretty smiles to war-weary pilots day after day. The daughter of Danish immigrants, she grew up in Chicago, running the till in her father's soda shop, but she had always dreamed of something bigger. Every day of her youth had been spent saving and toiling away to achieve her dream of attending university - studying history, publishing her work, and making a name for herself.

But the advent of war dashes her aspirations before they can be realised, and she is forced to cast her pursuits aside in aid of her country. Travelling to Thorpe Abbotts, she prays every day for the war to be over, for her life to resume its course. But meeting John Brady changes everything, as does the attentions of a charming, wealthy RAF officer, and Gwen is forced to decide how hard she is willing to fight for love and the life she's always wished for.
