#i just think...... the dynamic between these two will be delicious bc they disagree on most fundamentals

📩 ❛ i'm here for business — not pleasure. ❜ from minthara for your bg3 verse! @likemosaic 🔆 assorted dialogue – accepting!

ellie nodded solemnly. solemnity has been what he's decided is the best way to interact with minthara. not because he wants to limit their conversations, but because minthara intimidated the hells out of her, and something told the cleric that revealing any amount of the sympathy she felt for the paladin would not be taken as the attempt at connection elinor desperately wanted. they, undeniably, had different methods, different attitudes (you couldn't pay elinor to consume those tadpoles, regardless of the power they promised). but they were allies. and elinor did care for her, whether minthara liked it or not. 

"i think the same can be said for most of us." it's not dismissive, meant to confirm minthara's approach. after all, wouldn't everyone here rather be elsewhere? despite ellie's resolve, and her own words testifying the same, that business was business, he couldn't help a curiousity that washed over him. it might be better not to ask, but the worst that could happen would be that minthara would use all her noble poise to tell her to fuck off. and elinor had faced worse. 

"what... what is your idea of pleasure? i mean, what are you going to do, after we deal with the absolute?"

Foolish and Cellbit were my fav qsmp duo (Idk if they are supposed to have a duo name or something). Obviously bc they had an antagonistic friendship (funny), but also bc Foolish just got REALLY into whatever Cellbit was doing at any given time. Castle, wedding, feds murdering, Ordem Paranormal rooms, whatever. I love you grandmas room. I love you chaos room shrine. I love you coin flip decision. I love you wedding assination enigma. Ily interrogations and elections and that chance encounter in Fed HQ.

Foolish and bad had an antagonistic friendship, too, but they understood each other. They could see through the others bullshit and knee what they were after. Foollish and Cellbit did NOT understand each other (character) AT ALL. It was a mystery and theys what made it fun

I disagree on them not understanding eachother! To me qFoolish and qCellbit did not initially understand eachother but over time, especially after purgatory and towards the end of the server, I feel like Cellbit really came to get foolishs chaos. It used to frustrate Cellbit, Foolishs unpredictability, betrayals that from Cellbits point of view at the time could only be seen as malicious as to him there was only two sides on the island, you were with the federation or you weren't. But I think the turning point for their relationship was in Cellbit realising Foolish was never really against them, it's just who he is and that his actions don't reflect whether he cares for other characters or not.

I would say the way in which qBad and qFoolish understand eachother is different to the way in which qFoolish and qCellbit understand eachother. Bad and Foolish understand eachother through the intertwined nature of their immortality, they're the only person that could comprehend that experience for one another. But in another sense it's like they know eachother more than they understand eachother, which are two very different things. With Foolish and Cellbit it's harder to pinpoint, Cellbit came to understand Foolish as a person and love him for it anyway. They're both characters that value family highly and just needed to find the right wavelength, realising they're on the same side. That doesn't mean they weren't still beefing the whole time of course.

To qFoolish the chaos and betrayal is almost like play, a game of cat and mouse except the mouse was never really trying to get away but run one certain kitty round in circles for the fun of it. And eventually qCellbit caught onto the flow of it and was able to engage in this back and forth.

Foolish enjoyed being an another enigma to for Cellbit to solve, he liked winding him up, throwing red herrings, generally being confusing on every front. It was kinda like he was testing Cellbit to see if he could understand and was almost proud when he did! Pleased to not only have been a good puzzle but a good solution, that being that there wasn't one!

The dichotomy between them is delicious, he who searches for answers and he who has none, it made the two of them greater together! Sometimes there are no answers, and sometimes the satisfaction is found in searching and solving and getting to know the puzzle anyway.

Their Duo name is castleduo btw after cellbits castle build but they're often also called foolbit 😋 Thank you for the ask anon! They're one of my favourite duos too and I loved the opportunity to dig into their dynamic a little
