#m9 rewatch

i don't think you all understand how much they mean to me

[hinumay]

Der Katzenprinz

[delphi-star]

For some reason I always picture the Ashpeak Mountains splitting the continent horizontally, so that we have a north and a south. Don't know why, I've seen the map. This lore dump is big but also very relevant.

I know Jester creates the stinky narrative, but Liam if you are going to have the first descriptive word about you be filthy. You kinda brought it on yourself.

I think I love the reactions to Nott from the cast more than anything else in this beginning.

I'm rewatching the first episode of campaign 2 and. Holy shit.

The way Beau is in love with yasha from the second she sees her.

The circus is much more shifty than I remember.

It's a lot of fun though, to see where they came from.

I'm in love with yasha and Beau all over again.

the mighty nein fail at every single persuasion roll except the one to get drugs from the general store. iconic.

[stupidsexygrizzop]

ashley johnson coming back into the game and immediately rolling two nat 1s in a row moment of all time

[staticrevelations]

i forgot laura’s pregnancy announcement, marisha sneezing so hard she cracked a rib, them being named The Mighty Nein, them getting their first magic item info card of the campaign, the first mention of The Gentleman, caleb’s “take them out take them out” backstory tease, the first appearance of the Bad Luck Bandits, them pretending to have “extreme syphilis,” them finding out jester's mom's whole deal, “the Ruby of the Sea is the best lay ever,” and the debut of Pumat(s) Sol all happened in the same episode

[addamii]

Post campaign Yasha sketches <3

i love this conversation from C2E49 because that's literally how Vess deRogna died about hundred episodes later. The improv of random joke conversation about assassinating archmage via stabby-stab in the night... the hindsight is insane

[essektheylyss]

I'd thought I remembered, in the Knights of Requital planning, someone mentioning the gala being moved, because it gave the Nein an extra day to prep, and Dolan did specify that it had been unexpectedly pushed back a day, but doesn't suggest he knows why. (It's not clear to me based on the conversation when this change happened—it's possible Dolan has simply heard this update recently, but it also might've been a last minute change.) I was wondering because the timing of the Zauberspire attack coinciding with the gala seemed odd.

It is very narratively convenient, of course, and certainly the Kryn spies could've been using it for the same reason that the Knights of Requital were—important figures of the city were distracted and otherwise occupied, and Thuron does give an indication that Ulog was feeding them information as well, so he certainly could've suggested that timing to both.

But two things about the attack struck me: first, that the Zauberspire does not seem to be very far from where the gala is held, which makes it less of a distraction and more of a liability for covert military operations; and second, the Assembly reacts instantly. Moreover, Trent is already there, though he normally resides in Rexxentrum. He doesn't exactly seem the type to show up for annual holiday festivities, given he doesn't stand to gain much if anything from hobnobbing with a bunch of regional socialites, and Ludinus later suggests he is not exactly being dispatched to events as a diplomatic entity. Of course he can be in another city quite quickly, but this all happens so quickly that I find it unlikely that there would've been time to inform someone in another city prior to apprehending the infiltrators, given the immediacy with which the mages respond.

The point being, I think they were warned.

fjord, as yasha: yasha winks at beau beau/marisha:

bonus: a man who knows exactly what he has done

[delphi-star]

"You already have the clue you are looking for." I mean they were for sure BSing Jester but I mean she has just met Beau who knocks the first domino that leads to what Jester wants.

-Beau possibly clocking Yasha when she thanks the barmaid with a "My lady" and then being like "I like her"

Fjord and Beau already doing the whole Captain/First mate job of trying to handle Jester.

Oh! The small and hurt, "That's silly" about going to the academy. :(

Travis and the cat allergy :P

[non-neutoniangender]

I made a post about rewatching episode 2 of m9, but then it got eaten by Tumblr, so here's what I remember lmaoooo

[augentrust]

liam, roasting marisha for having beau sleep with an older elf: "you're probably nailing a 250-year-old!"

matt, knowing full well that caleb’s Attractive, Elvish, Morally Dubious Narrative Foil is coming down the pipeline: :)

[stupidsexygrizzop]

Caleb “i’m going to stare at the wall because i don’t know how to deal with attention very well” Widogast you are everything to me
