SPOILER WARNING FOR RWD UP UNTIL THE SEASON 3 FINALE

Ok, Rolling with Difficulty on the brain and I gotta sleep tonight so I need to get this out somehow.

Here's some RWD hopes for the future

VR-LA eventually comes to bond with all of the old crew members again and on the anniversary of the attack they go out onto the Astral Sea and drop flowers into the astral sea in memory of MR_SN. They all regain the bond they once had as crew and maybe they go back and repair the Ad Astra so the old crew have a spelljammer to call their own and more importantly have a home again. I hope that he can have two found families now even if his boyfriend is dead

Finbar once settling down with Elise will absolutely be opening up a tavern/inn of his at some point in Sigil or take over management of the Sprite Spring once Peaceblossom retires. He's gonna return at some point after he leaves the party I just know it! Like someone is gonna want to go see him, right?

Kyana, after season 3, I hope goes to train with Enok some more. Maybe gets to know the monks from the Cenobium more and finds a common place between them. Maybe she speaks to Ione again and they can hopefully reconcile at least a little bit. Maybe Enok can help Kyana unlock the full Astral Body which should be the next Subclass Feature she gets. I want to see more of Kyana delving into her past to carve out her own future because I really think that'd be dope and super in line with her character progression up until this point. One last thing, I really want to see how that connection Kyana and E-DN sort of started in the finale blossoms if at all because it seems really interesting

Sadly I only have so much for Dani but I do have a few. I WANT HER TO USE THE HELL RIDE AGAIN!! That race scene was so cool and I absolutely adored how into it Dani was. I also want more time with some of the less utilized Heap crew members like Sadie because some of these characters are amazing and need more love! I also want to see Dani bond with K-LB so badly! I need the two Artificers can get along. Who knows maybe Dani can teach K-LB a bit of chaos.

If you’ll permit me to be a bit angsty on main for a minute but—

Do you ever think about early on VR-LA’s fixation on finding a ‘captain’? Do you think that deep down a part of him knew, despite the memory loss, that having a ‘captain’ was important to him? How he asks everyone he meets but he never seems satisfied that they could actually be his captain, because he’s searching for something he doesn’t remember? How he’s desperately trying to fill a void he isn’t even aware of— because the memories are gone but the feelings aren’t, like a phantom limb. He knows something is missing and he’s searching at every turn, but he can’t quite recall it and so his search becomes broad and general, because he doesn’t have the context to articulate what he actually wants. ‘My captain’ becomes ‘a captain’, ‘our captain’, because instinct remembers the shape of what he needs, even when memory loss has made the shape hollow.

“Would you like to be our captain?”

(Obviously Noir had no idea about VR-LA’s backstory when he did this bit, this is just one of those moments where player improv really supports the story that emerged basically by accident, but still)

Just read through my psychotic ramblings notes from yesterday and here's a list of C1 finale fanart I need on my desk by Monday (under the break because Spoilers):

Dani (in character) calling DX-TR "an evil hot topic son of a bitch"

"There's no gods here, just me"

"I'm the ghost of your fucking past, present, and future, and I'm here to god damn haunt you"

Mystra promoting VR-LA to Magister (in front of the whole Planescape)

Miscellaneous party shenanigans (Cressida stealing Roy, Dani talking to Davion, Vhas talking to a coat rack he thinks is VR-LA, the real VR-LA chatting with Maxim and his old crew, the current Per Aspera crew at the very end, etc)

Also thinking about writing something brief about the floor time moment myself tbh, maybe stay tuned for that?

(Gonna tag some people I know make art to worm these ideas into yalls heads: @caliburn-not-calculator @billiamdoor @kathbunny )

vr-la’s season 2 episode 10 season finale monologue am i right folks

i do not normally rely on the faith of gods to be the source of my power. in my brief time across the planescape, i have found that gods hold power beyond compare, yet are still prone to the same mistakes, the same lapses in reasoning as any other mortal, and that combination makes them dangerous. i have read of the destruction they have wrought, i have seen them regard their worshipers as no better than parasites, and i have concluded that in a seascape of gods and monsters, who can tell the difference between one and the other? so in my opinion, gods are to be avoided at all costs. yet i will allow myself this one exception, because i know you are watching. because you called me curious. you call the power i and my ship possess ‘curious’. that must count for something. there must be at least an iota, some atomic speck of my being, that has your attention. mx-im was correct. names hold power. k-lb. c-ra. e-dn. dx-tr. as-tr. mr-sn. i… i do not know them, but when i heard those names, uttered to me since the first time since my awakening, they released in me a wave of emotion; of a care and love i did not know i held, of an ache and longing for the memories and time that have since been taken from me. no name had ever elicited such feelings in me, though i am grateful to have since found three names that do. and if you are who i suspect you are, then i know the power of names is a concept with which you are very familiar. so with the magic stored in this vessel, i craft my wish, and in casting it, i release the energies within back to the weave. an offering, given in faith that it shall be received, and answered in the manner i intend it. there is a part of me that knows i may be simply… speaking to the stars, that i have overestimated my brief importance in the vastness of your knowing, that you have no obligation to respond. but i shall cast it to you all the same. i ask for no riches, i do not vie for power, i am not like those before me who were arrogant enough to think your position could be usurped. i am simply casting my wish to you in faith. consider it a prayer. but in doing so, i will evoke the name you assumed so many eons ago, and, with it, all the power it holds. lady of spells, mother of magic, keeper of the weave, mystra! i wish for you to help me find my old crew. guide me to their locations! if they are lost, i shall find them! if they are imprisoned, i shall free them! if they are dead… i shall bury them.

When Steam Powered Giraffe said “and together we’re not alone across the stars” they were actually specifically talking about RWD and the old and new crews of the Per Aspera and the Holodeck and MR-SN. I know because they told me themselves

“Do me a favor? Bury me at sea. I always thought it was poetic, being buried at sea. And if I’m gonna sleep forever… I want to do it where I can see the stars.”

How DARE YOU.

Pirate au Emerson…

He looks like he should be on the cover of a romance novel lol. I can’t draw pirates with normal shirt situations okay

[theexhaustedqueer]

I promise I meant to get some writing done today but instead I got distracted listening to Lost at Sea by Vincent Lima (the stripped version ofc it just sounds better) on repeat while rotating MR-SN around in my brain. I’m so normal about him I swear.

Separate post for anyone who doesn't want to read the Saga (TM) of how we got here lol
