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.

replaying dao for the first time in 15 yrs and got the sten dialogue where tal-vashoth are referenced for the first time ever in dragon age and

I 100% interpreted this as the tal-vashoth were killing qunari the first time round, which makes sense because it's cryptic and comes after sten describing tal-vashoth as monsters that require killing.

but knowing more qunari lore now I get that this isn't him describing mysterious killings of qunari by tal-vashoth, this is sten describing people leaving the qun and becoming tal-vashoth.

the tal-vashoth take away his colleagues and friends because they are spreading doubt of the qun and causing others to leave as well, and sten is so indoctrinated that to him this is monstrous, and that's how he describes it to the warden but that is not what is happening at all

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
