Hi! i love your art! And I'm curious about something: what do you think of the staff? And which is your favorite?

thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE the staff, I wish we got to see more of them -- every once in a while we'll get a little side bit of them interacting with each other and it's always SO good. (for that and more proof that EHN is the best event, see: the teachers trying to hold their own Halloween party without Crowley noticing because they don't want to invite him. why was this one scene and not a long-spanning subplot like it deserved to be. we were robbed.)

I have probably made it pretty obvious which of the staff is my favorite, because I love characters who are huge morons who couldn't read a room if they had industrial-strength prescription glasses:

but I'm pretty fond of all of them! it takes a certain kind of person to work at NRC for more than five minutes. though I do think Trein is probably my second favorite? he LOVES his cat! he LOVES his wife! he LOVES history even though he is fed up with these teens and their wacky misadventures! also, I really want to hear the rest of his saucy makeout story. talk about dangling plot threads. 😔

genuinely we need more staff interactions in canon, there is so much untapped hilarity there I CAN FEEL IT

Gale telling Durge that he's sure that Durge would have people to invite to their wedding is ofc Larian half-assing things, but it's funny to hc that Gale just had an oopsie social interaction where one says smth kinda weird/incorrect and then later realizes that it was weird/incorrect but it's too late to correct now. However, Durge takes that as a "you should invite someone to our wedding" kind of expectation and tries to comply. Family members are absolutely out of the question even if they weren't dead or a god he hates. And outside of Bhaal's temple, Durge is pretty sure he had only one friend. But he was apparently a very good friend. And Durge has Gale's resurrection scroll that never got used. Death's not a problem yeah. Perfect solution yeah.

And this is how Gortash gets tossed from Bane's torture session into Durge's accidental torture session where he gets invited to the wedding of his ex that he's still very much into

MEMORY RICK IS STILL KICKING

so beer has become my favourite basically instantly. boy is the only voice of reason and logic in this friend group and holds 95% of the braincells (the remaining 5% is shared between god, bew, and wan) but also i love how he kind of has the air of fond exasperation for them and just accepts the shenanigans whilst doing his best to keep them on task.

i love how intuitive he seems, and how he notices when diew is feeling overwhelmed or when god has a serious reason for acting strange so he kind of tries to get wan and/or bew to back off. just the natural way the actor portrays the character Noticing Stuff and Reacting in emotionally intelligent ways is very pleasing to me.

also i'm loving the bestfriends to lovers trajectory that is happening (i hope!!) with beer and wan!! they're clearly so comfortable around each other and are genuinely good friends and know and accept each other, foibles and all. but there's just this very deep, calm affection between them although its more obvious from beer to wan because they show us the tiny little sweet things he does. *gets emotional about laundry and chopsticks*

but its not like wan oblivious either~ there's definitely some reciprocation, even if it's teasing and playful at this point. like i get the sense that wan doesn't quite know what he wants either at this point.

i'm excited to see where this show goes! the characters seem compelling so far and the story is simple but there's hints of there being more depth which i'm intrigued by.
