#j'er'em'ih my beloved

[notthewriteryourelookingfor]

I'm watching Escape from the Bloodkeep again because I love this cast (and hope that one day they'll do another cuz they're hilarious) and I love the story and I just had a thought.

If J'er'em'ih can only give birth to what people have a nightmare about and thus, we are waiting for someone to have a nightmare about a scream beast so there can be more of them:

Do you think there is a ritual or spell they could do that forces everyone who's currently asleep to have a nightmare about a scream beast?

I know that would be a big thing in the rules of D&D like a God or something would need to do it but, would that work?

I feel like that would work.

Imagine if Sokhbarr becomes like a God and that's all he does like every 20 years or so everyone has a scream beast nightmare until the scream beasts number in the millions and have formed their own army and have taken over

And Sokbarr's just like (👍■_■)👍

Is someone were to start watching dimention 20 . What series(?) would you reccomend n where ?

omg omg okay okay so i'd say there are so many different routes you can take depending on what genre you like!! this is truly so hard omg. i can start off by saying most seasons are on a subscription service called dropout which is the only subscription service i will be paying for in my life (unless you're counting a patreon as a subscription service), but they also have a youtube where they've released a couple full seasons.

i'm putting Escape From The Bloodkeep at the top because a) Villainous Found Family, b) free on youtube, and c) there's an NPC named J'er'em'ih. It's a Lord of the Rings knockoff from the perspective of the villains who are dorks and also queer. Found family to the max and so many bits.

i will be crunching this post because it is LONG! genres galore!

if you want Drama: A Crown of Candy is a Game of Thrones/Candy Land mashup. The Ravening War is the prequel. Both of them have a nonzero chance of making you cry and Do have permanent deaths. A Court of Fey and Flowers is the other drama but it's. queer Bridgerton with fairies. no angst many flowers and there's LETTER WRITING and a RUMOR PHASE

Coming Of Age: Fantasy High Freshman Year, Sophomore Year, Junior Year, and The Seven. While I think t7 is higher in quality than Freshman Year, you do need FY for context. either way, both feel as realistic as an adventuring school can be to an actual coming of age story.

Misfits and Magic is also a Coming of Age and an homage and just. a fabulous piece in general which I think is a GREAT introduction (if you have dropout)! it's a group of people going "how much can we poke fun at jk rowlings books bc we grew up on those but we Don't Like Her and actually her system is trash?" it's a smaller cast using the kids on brooms system, and, once again, it's queer and coming of age and found family. there's a wet cat of a man if that's what you need in your life.

Horror Seasons: Neverafter and Burrow's End are the two Overtly Horror seasons and they both pull it off very well. Neverafter is found family. Burrow's End is a literal family (of stoats) (not anthropomorphized, just plain stoats). they're Good Horror.

The Unsleeping City (Part I) is also very good. only filmed media that's made me cry. i can't speak to part ii specifically because i did not vibe with the virtual filming style. i got dropout because of Pirates of Leviathan, but i had the context of s1 and s2 of fantasy high so. idk man. is this coherent?

romance: Shriek Week and A Court of Fey and Flowers. Monster dating sim and Fairy Bridgerton. i'm not a dating sim person so i couldn't really do shriek week but ACOFAF. Man. That season.

Mystery: Mentopolis. I cannot tell you how much I loved Mentopolis. such a good season. Hank Green is there. Mike Trapp (creator of J'er'em'ih) is there. It's truly just tropes tropes tropes. everything is a pun.

Mentopolis also fits under action, which is what I would put Coffin Run under as well. Coffin Run my beloved. 2 vampires a wannabe-vampire and a jewish-old-man-who-misses-his-wife walk into dracula's castle and go. "hey we're your favorites, right?"

i'm so sorry. i hope this helped. i really love this show man. there's very few seasons i couldn't finish and 20 seasons out right now (the 21st is coming out every wednesday starting last week) and while there are MORE seasons like A Starstruck Odyssey (scifi comedy, 10/10 no notes) this is a long post to say. TLDR: you gotta know what style of show you like. my friend and i both watch it but she REFUSES to watch fantasy high and i can't stomach A Crown of Candy but we still both watch other seasons.

REWATCHING BLOODKEEP AND

J'ER'EM'IH MY BELOVED 😭

[bloodkeep-escape]

what moment made you laugh the hardest in bloodkeep? And which of the knock-off LotR npcs is your favorite?

hardest laugh was definitely every single j'er'em'ih moment, but especially the skyship battle when he killed markus's brother and fully anchored himself to the wheel and had to make intelligence checks to sail the ship with his -4 intelligence. good for him <3 also, of course, the entire avanash saga, but especially sokhbarr on his good insight giving the simple "i don't know about this one, guys," as this man says clearly the most unhinged things in the world. and brennan's "this man is Full Crazy." he sure is!!

also GALFAST. galfast galfast galfast. i love her with my whole entire heart!! samwise gamgee turned into an overly polite but badass lesbian with the statistics of a fucking hill giant. the only correct choice

ahhahhhhh the ending of eftbk my BELOVED... leiland being the right hand of lord of shadows leiland jr but also raising him w/ maggie, when they had a relationship full of hatred and jealousy because of zaul'nazh's mistreatment of them both like... being against each other with seething bubbling rage bc of the lord and then to be brought together by the promise and hope of a new one.. lilith and all of her children, taking a stand for their family, refusing to back away from hardship and finding strength in one another. sokhbarr's heartwrenching "you don't like my wild things" contrasted with the fact that he awoke the lava mog in the scary volcano and helped bring back a dying species, put so much love and care into j'er'em'ih that he brings screambeasts back to life... and markus being so focused for so long on outshining his family, being the most impressive, most daring, richest, learning to rely on and trust the other party members and growing to be loyal to people and ideas rather than things.. efink's complete transformation marked explicitly by the change in perspective from "my friends need me" to just "friends need" going from seeking answers and always looking for affirmation and approval outside of herself rooted in a place of doubt and self-loathing to seeking wisdom and guidance in others because she knows they are capable, and that this is what she can do to help. I just... the "evil" campaign is so fucking good guys..
