I’m really wondering what would’ve happened if Logan never opened that news paper and I damn well know Virgil wasn’t gonna say anything ugh I need a fanfic of this.

[hes-as-stubborn-as-ever]

Logan and Virgil have a big fight or disagreement that leaves Logan feeling very upset, later Virgil appears at his door with some tea and a new puzzle as a way to apologise and Logan folds immediately

Do you know the story of Horton Hears a Who? (one of my favs)

Thus begins A story of an elephant who finds a little pink flower, and on that flower is an almost microscopic piece of dust. In that dust lives an entire civilization of- The Who's.

No one else but Horton can hear them, and no one believes they are there. How could they when theres no proof? They cant see them, cant hear them, why even entertain such a thing.

It comes to the point where the villain captures horton and tries to destroy the flower to prove a point. Desperate to prove they exist, have their voices heard, the who's make all the noise they can- chanting in harmony "We are here".

They play their instruments, cry their names, and yet it's not nearly enough. Horton hears them, but despite his pleas- without proof? He cannot save them.

It's only by one kid, the final voice who has yet to call out. A scared kid whose fighting to save everyone even though it's far beyond his control. But he fights anyways. He crawls to the top of the pole, horn in hand and yells as loud as he can.

His voice is enough, with the shout funneling through his trumpet it rockets to the sky. The last voice just enough to break the sound barrier as the entire symphony of noise is finally heard.

The people, who were convinced they didn't exist, finally stepped in and stopped the destruction before it was too late.

A vote not cast is a voice not heard, Don't Silence yourself.

I don’t know how often Brennan brings up this analogy, since despite the amount of Lee Mulligan content I feel I’ve consumed, I’ve only recently dived into Dimension 20, but in Episode 4 of Adventuring Party for A Crown of Candy at 01:04:12, Brennan mentions a thing he learned about chess recently and related it to DMing and I was like, “Wait, I’ve heard him say this, and recently.” It’s the exact analogy he threw out as a taunt in the most recent Fireside Chat for Episode 22 of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One on the Worlds Beyond Number Patreon, about how so much of his “planning” as a DM is just developing enough material to move aspects of the narrative into the good positions to be used later-

These two talkbacks are nearly four years apart in their release date, and I coincidentally listened to them less than four days apart from each other. It just goes to show, I think, how deeply Brennan thinks about DMing and his philosophy towards the art form and practice of it. He pulled the same reference out of his brain years after he learned it, and expressed it in a totally different tone and context. He really is so good at this game.

The understatement of the century, I know, but I just think it’s neat.

academic cheating is the meritocratic analogue of shoplifting. if you understand the relationship between the shoplifter, the store workers, management/police, and the others at the store, you're a long way toward understanding the relationship between the "academically dishonest", the instructor, the university administration, and fellow students.

Woke up thinking thoughts about how much in scenes (with Buck) where Eddie is wearing black he’s intentionally lit so he looks like he’s glowing and shining as if he is the light - the light in Bucks life.

And it’s been that way since the first black item of clothing Eddie has worn - gym scene in 201.

Some other quick examples - buck bi reveal, basketball Eddie, you wanna go for the title Eddie, balcony scene Eddie etc.

Something something about those scenes being moments that are key buddie scenes when there is ‘conflict’ in their relationship. Something something about the darkness being represented by clothing - removable and not part of them and covering up the light - and the light seemingly coming from their skin making them glow - because black absorbs light so you get a bigger contrast!

Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔 I think I might have to compile pictures and write a meta about it because I think the level of glow has been increasing through the seasons!!
