Not best friends not lovers but a secret third thing (connected by mycelial network)

The next Adventure is Nigh episode won't be out until March 2nd ;_; but it's okay! There was a looooot in the latest episode.

Sigmar is not making it out with any of his arms intact, I see. Poor guy cannot catch a break - but also I think that you probably shouldn't be getting magic tattoos from a random guy you meet in a prison????? maybe??? So yeah idk this feels like a fitting punishment. The flesh bow is super duper cool but how much of a long term effect will this have on Sigmar? We'll have to see if Sebastian Piss is gonna return, and if so, how. Love how the party didn't try to sneak their weapons in and their punishment for that was getting a cursed weapon tattoo lmao.

Mortimer is officially and totally a shapeshifter, woop-di-doo. We still don't know what makes him able to do that, or what he 'truly' looks like. But yup, he can change shape at any time. He's trusted Grinderbin completely with this knowledge now, AND he gave up his easy chance to kill the queen in order to wipe out Cheserick (spelling???) instead. Given the way things are going down, that was probably a good call, because Cheserick's death has probably stopped the robot army thing from happening.

Grinderbin continues to git gud at lying. We'll see if Mortimer lies to Grinderbin about the poison, or trusts Grinderbin with his secrets after the whole shitshow is over. There was a scrapped side quest plot that was planned for Mortimer and Sigmar to do together, like Dabarella and Grinderbin did theirs together, but at this point it feels like we're gonna need a Mortibin SQ too, just to get their shit figured out.

Dabarella is a fucking combat monster, dealt 20 radiant damage to Kalandra without even trying. I don't know what Kalandra is capable of but she and Sigmar are in a lot of danger rn just trying to hold her off.

Eggelier and Beyonce are both basically impotent at the moment. However, we still don't know if Pikeworth was lying to the party when he said that Beyonce was going to do something dangerous. It was Cheserick that ended up being the major shit-heel, but did Pikeworth know this? Bonesy and Bread are both here! But Bread is about to go to the gate where the party is fighting Kalandra, which is, uh, not a good place for him to be.

Filming for season 4 starts in March! Remasters of the old episodes start in Spring and will continue through the Summer, which means we'll probably have S4 starting next Winter, assuming no plans change. There's a documentary about the creation of the show itself in the works. They usually do some kind of Q&A stream, so maybe we'll get that after filming for S4 wraps up?

crazy how mortibin started in season 2 like wdym grinderbin was the one to get mortimer to be sincere and encouraged him that he can unpack some of the shit he's been through with the group cuz hes in a safe space like thats crazy man. and now in S3 where they trust each other (Though i think mortimer is still learning how to do that) with a common secret like they r fuckin Warrior bonded. secret third things are real

We're winning today #yaoi warriors

Mortimer gaining faith in Sigmar after Sigmar conquered his emotions around Egelier RIGHT AS Sigmar loses trust in Mortimer because he finds out that Mortimer has been withholding information... SigMer stocks are either about to hit their highest highs or their lowest lows. Shippers, take your bets now.

MortiBin is poised over a similar situation, with Grinderbin's trust taking another big hit. This could easily turn into an abusive/enabling kind of thing where Bin keeps trying to hold onto the image of Mortimer that he knows and never letting his trust get shifted, while Morti just keeps pushing and pushing until he gets what he wants and leaves.

Dabarella saying that her dreams are being fulfilled, and she might need to find some new ones? OH SHIT. Oh fuck. Given the way that Mortimer has been abusing everyone's trust in him, having Dabarella move on in her life at the same time could eaaasily make the party split. Party split would be insane at this point given how much work they've put into the nightclub, which makes me wonder how feasible that is. Morti is the one who is the most 'ready to bolt', but he also seems to be the one who is the most invested in the nightclub, and he needs the others to run it with.

Poor Grinderbin having to sit between Egelier and Mortimer at dinner while trying to craft tools out of bones and silverware was incredible. Then right afterwards, handling a difficult conversation with Egelier? And Sigmar, too, not even losing his shit? Fucking growth. Bin hung on for an entire dinner. Sigmar hung on for an entire conversation. Both of them learned a lot from Mortimer, and both of them are beginning to see how deep the cracks in Morti's facade are.

I do not think their relationships are gonna survive unharmed. Even Dabarella might side against Morti at this point, if she thinks that his actions were severe enough to put her friends in danger. However, if the heist goes well enough to give them all more trust and positive feelings, then that could repair a big rift - BUT Morti poisoned the necklace. So. Assuming Queen Beyonce is killed, and assuming the party figures out Mortimer did it... that could be huge. That could end everything. BUT if Morti can spin it so that it seemed like someone else did it? It could be a trust-building moment. like 'we almost could have all died but we made it out alive together! even the queen didn't live through that but we did!'

Holy shit, the newest episode of AiN was worth every second of the wait. There's just. so much....

Realistically if Mortibin ever did really happen it would likely be a cute romantic but ultimately ace relationship because of Grinderbin's whole mushroom deal and a little because of his personality but also I just had a horny dream about them getting down and dirty and I'm tempted to write an E rated AO3 fic about it but I can't

I can't make the first AiN fic be a smut fic between the conman half elf and the sentient mushroom

And then. In the last episode of S3. they switched clothes and told everyone they had been fucking? Like. Come on. Mortibin canon when????

Aesthetically and realistically I think that Mortimer/Sigmar is the better ship (twinky horny snarky who's good at talking and bad at combat X gruff buff bad at talking and good at combat). And also there's the whole 'Mortimer gave Sigmar socks made out of true love + was the party member he trusted the most to be able to communicate feelings with'. The playful teasing dynamic between the two of them is really nice, and Mortimer's insincerity contrasted against Sigmar's stoic personality would be fun to watch.

However deep in my heart of hearts I will always ship Grinderbin/Mortimer because of all the story things that have happened that have accidentally given these two some insane fucking chemistry. Oh, you're telling me that Mortimer essentially pretends to be a noble but Grinderbin actually is one? Okay. Grinderbin delegating all his royal and legal affairs to Mortimer, essentially making him his trusted confidant if he needs to assume more responsibility in the future? Okay. They accidentally melded minds in the underground cave??? The gentle confrontation about in in 308??? "I know what you are and you don't have to hide it from me." Ugh. Mortimer and Grinderbin canonically spending extra time alone together so Grinderbin can learn thieves' cant??? Don't even remind me that Sigmar thinks that Mortimer and Grinderbin are fucking. It gets even better when you realize Mortimer is gradually warping Grinderbin into someone who is comfortable with lying and you wonder just how much that poor mushroom is gonna get fucked over by his dependence on this horrible guy.
