2.3 Penacony thoughts [part 2]

***SPOILER WARNING*** for the 2.3 story update right before the Charmony Festival cutscenes begin. At this moment in time I’ve already finished the whole story, so be wary that I may reference later scenes as I ramble on.

Ah, what bittersweet feelings this gives me. I would’ve loved to see Aventurine actually work alongside Topaz with how indifferent she feels about him but I’m also glad we got to finally see Jade. I really enjoyed her so far.

I can only assume she’s referring Robin here, correct? I wish I remembered the context for this line, but I’m writing all this out days later.

I honestly thought hearing “miss Samuel” in the 2.3 trailer was an error, but after learning it was a fake name Firefly agreed to use from her conversation with Silver Wolf, I suppose not.

Sweetie, nooo! I want you to live as much as you do, but not for such a price! Although, I’m not even sure you have that much to begin with..? Aside from your huge bounty maybe..

On the lighter side of things, it was hilarious to see the trailblazer be a complete nuisance to our traveling companions. It’s always a joy to hear Rachael and I heard clips of Caleb as well and both did wonderful:

“Which one should I pop? One, two, three, four, five… Dan Heng and Voidranger jive…”

Nicholas also nailed Dan Heng losing his patience with his “Don’t change the words.”

Just when I thought we couldn’t get anymore silly and stupid, we’re seen at the very end of the ship just moments from potentially falling off, all for the sake of a bird.. Why? I have no clue.

“Chirp, chirp… Origami bird.. Hey, little birdie…”

What’s hilarious about this scene is that Skyler’s first “Come on…” sounds like she’s trying to encourage the birds to come to us too, but her tone changes and we find out she’s actually talking to us: “Come on down already. Everyone’s staring at you!”

Talk about always staying in business. Jade mentions how ��when people see other’s desires get fulfilled, they develop their own desires,” so it would truly be an endless cycle of people coming to her for their wishes to be granted.

For some reason, I’m not entirely surprised Jade knew Firefly’s exact SAM number of AR-26710, or whatever that number represented when she was part of Glamoth’s Iron Cavalry, but that the Entropy Loss Syndrome was actually a result of her creation as a soldier instead of a random disease that Firefly alone had to deal with? How cruel. This girl was doomed from the very beginning of her life.

As strongly as Firefly wants to live, I doubt she would turn against the other Stellaron Hunters to achieve such a dream with how oddly close each of them are.

Madam, what do you mean and why must it be in yellow text? I know the color has come up a couple times already during this patch and while it’s not as intimidating as red, it still puts me on edge a little bit.

Firefly looks so darn smug here and confident in Silver Wolf’s abilities that it’s adorable. Our favorite hacker would surely have a blast in trashing the IPC like this if prompted.

I know everyone has gripes about the IPC, but I can’t help but be fascinated by them? A group of strangers just like the Stellaron Hunters or Astral Express, only coming together to get what they want. I’m also nervous for the day whenever the other Stonehearts get revealed. I mean, the three we know of already are downright gorgeous and if everyone in this darn group is just as pretty then I fear my wallet may be in danger.

Speaking of pretty, I’m sad Aventurine can’t actually join the festivities. I know he was teetering on the edge of life and death thanks to Acheron, but he seemed relatively fine in the last cutscene of 2.2.

We didn’t even get much more information about that Oswaldo guy Boothill was looking for either. To end the last patch with him cornering “this flamboyant fella” to look for the guy, you’d think we would learn the cowboy’s motives a bit more during the actual story.

Mhhmm, and here’s the little moment I brought up last time about the Stoneheart’s abilities. Topaz claims hers isn’t as “visual” as Aventurine’s so I’m still curious as to what her cornerstone is capable of.

Bronya and Belobog mention, huzzah!

I dunno what I was expecting as our first interaction with Jade as the trailblazer, but it was very amusing. I don’t remember the other options the game gave us as a wish, but happy I chose this because the conversation is honestly hilarious to me, from us saying ��endgame” to assuming that Jade has no sense of humor..

Only to realize that she does indeed have a twisted sense of humor because the lady wanted us to cut off our adorable train conductor’s tail and gift it to her?? Amazing. I’m shocked she could joke about such a thing and that the trailblazer is even impressed by her.

Lastly, I’m once again so annoyed that Argenti didn’t get to speak! The game said they were already aware of the issue last patch but still didn’t get it fixed?? Aaah, it’s such a shame because Adam truly has such a fabulous voice and I haven’t a clue on when Argenti will make another story appearance for us to actually hear him again.

Alright, that’s enough for here. Big cutscenes next.

beautiful lies

Cross posted on AO3. On a Starfield kick lately and thinking of making a continuation that is multi-chaptered and has a happy ending.

Per the title, this was inspired by Beautiful Lies by Birdy. But there are a few songs that are perfect for listening to when reading:

Beautiful Lies - Birdy Wonderful Life - Smith & Burrows Not About Angles - Birdy I Guess - Mitski

SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE GAME!

---------------------------------------------------------

“Goodnight gumdrop. Try not to stay up too late, alright?”

“No promises, dad.”

Ren leaned against a doorframe, watching her husband tuck Cora in, attempting to be strong and keep a soft smile on her face. The latter wasn’t difficult; watching the father and daughter interact always sent gentle pangs to her heart, though now they were tainted with a bittersweet helplessness.

Sam's fingers lingered in Cora's hair, his kiss on her forehead held a desperation to etch this moment into his memory. “I love you, Cora. Don’t you ever forget that.”

“I love you too, Dad.”

Cora lurched up from where she was lying to throw her arms around her dad and hugged him tight. The scene, once a source of warmth, now felt like a cruel twist of the knife, and Ren couldn't shake the haunting doubt that whispered in her mind. Ren found herself second-guessing, no, triple-guessing why they were about to go through with this. This reality was enough, for Ren at least.

Ren could feel the sorrow attempting to claw out of her throat, but she pushed it down, not wanting to break down just yet.

“Night, Ren!” Cora said, pulling away from her dad.

Ren kneeled next to Cora’s bed and looked into those big, bright eyes. Only a year before did Ren meet the two people that would change her life for the better, but she was irreversibly entangled.

“Night, kiddo,” Ren told her, brushing a stray curl aside. “Thank you for being the best copilot a captain could ask for.”

“You really think so?”

“Yeah,” Ren weakly replied. “Yeah, you were.” She managed a strained smile and kissed Cora's forehead.

A family was all Ren ever wanted. And now…

Sam rose from the bed, helping Ren stand. Ren looked at Cora for a final time, attempting to imprint every detail. Sure, she’d see a version of her again but not her Cora. Not the Cora that asked her so sweetly for a small space for books on her ship and Ren built her a whole damn library in a cargo hold. Not the Cora that so fiercely stood up for what she believed was right. Not the Cora who effortlessly claimed a piece of Ren's heart

Sam led them both out of Cora’s room within the ship and shut her door. Only then did Ren let the tears fall freely. He didn’t say anything, but Ren felt Sam’s thumb rub circles on her hand in comfort while he directed them to their room on a separate floor.

In the hallway, Ren's steps echoed a somber rhythm as she followed Sam to their room. The weight of the moment pressed on her shoulders, the heaviness of impending loss settling in. They walked in silence, a silence that spoke volumes, carrying the unspoken grief that lingered in the air.

Once inside, Ren relinquished any semblance of composure. A guttural sob, raw and wretched, clawed its way out of her mouth. She clutched Sam's jacket in both trembling hands, as if the fabric could anchor her in a reality that seemed to unravel with each passing moment. Her tears stained the fabric as she cried into his chest.

His arms enfolded her in a protective embrace. Gentle hands rubbed soothing circles on her back.

“Darlin’,” he whispered, sounding at a loss at the sight of her breakdown. Ren didn’t cry often, normally choosing to bury her emotions down deep, but this? She couldn’t bury this feeling, no matter how much she’d like to. She had finally attained everything she longed for – friends, a family – and now, it unraveled before her like a cruel joke. She already lost her best friend days ago to The Hunter and now she has to lose her family too.

But what cut the deepest was the realization that this was their choice, a conscious decision to traverse this path of heartbreak.

“Tell me, Sam,” she pleaded through her sobs, voice strained. “Tell me we don’t have to do this.”

His response was a gentle whisper. "You know we have to," he murmured, his lips pressing a tender kiss on her temple. The words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of inevitability, each syllable driving home the painful truth that they were architects of their own agony.

And the worst part was that she knew he was right. They had to do this. They couldn’t just ignore the Unity. This is what Constellation was about, the exploration, being pioneers of the unknown.

She pulled away and cupped his face with both hands, looking at those blue eyes that drew her in from the very first day. The heartbreak she was feeling was reflected in his eyes, and the decision seemed to physically weigh on him. Ren couldn’t imagine being reborn and Sam not knowing her, not remembering what they had been through, how much love blossomed between them. She couldn't fathom a Sam who didn't recall their first kiss outside The Hitching Post or the blissful moments as a family, exploring with Cora – experiences neither Ren nor Sam had the chance to live in their own childhoods.

“Promise me something,” she whispered.

“Anything,” he assured her.

“Promise me we’ll see each other again.”

Sam’s eyes closed, pain etching across his face, and a solitary tear escaped. He turned his face, pressing a tender kiss on one of the palms cradling him, not answering her.

“Lie to me, Sam,” Ren pleaded desperately as he looked at her again. “Please, just pretend for tonight.”

A beat passed and Ren held her breath, needing to hear the words.

“We’ll see each other again, Ren. I promise.”

A broken promise never felt so sweet.

“Okay,” Ren whispered through a watery smile. “We’ll see each other again.”

Sam nodded a silent agreement that hung heavy with the weight of the inevitable. He pulled her into a desperation-soaked kiss, both of them ignoring the tears and shaking hands. Sam guided her to lay on their bed and he climbed on top of her, the weight of him anchoring her in the moment.

Ren removed his hat and tossed it over the side of the bed, threading her hands in his hair, taking time to remember what it felt like between her fingers, each strand a fragile thread connecting her to this reality that was slipping away from her.

It seemed like Sam was on a mission to imprint every inch of her with kisses, a desperate attempt to etch their intimacy into their memory, trailing kisses and bites down her neck, across her collarbones. Layers were removed with trembling fingers and desperate hands.

When he pushed into her, it felt final somehow, an act laden with the weight of farewell. Ren couldn’t help the tears that fell as he pushed inside her again and again, mirroring the unspoken grief that Sam couldn't conceal either, evidenced by the wetness that dripped onto her chest every so often.

The pleasure was intense, as it always was, but alongside it was the accompanying grief that this would be the last time she was this close with her husband, her chosen partner for life. When they finished, they did it together, hands intertwined, and lips pressed together in a desperate embrace, the room bearing witness to the culmination of their love and sorrow.

Sam rolled off of her, and as they laid side by side, he faced her, his fingers tracing the leaf tattoo on the side of her face with a tenderness that echoed the fragility of the moment.

“You know,” he said, voice scratchy with an underlying sadness, “we’ll meet another version of each other. I wonder what that will be like.”

Ren, staring into his eyes, couldn't bring herself to utter the brutal truth she had learned from The Emissary: Ren died in almost every universe. This one was an anomaly. Perhaps it was a selfish choice, but she couldn't bear to inflict the agony she carried on him. What purpose would it serve to reveal that he was destined to witness his wife's death in his arms, over and over again

The room, once filled with the echoes of their shared passion, now housed a silence, a quiet acknowledgment of the inevitability of their journey. And in that moment, as they lay side by side, Ren stared into his eyes and though about their love, a love destined to repeat its tragic cycle in countless universes. Whether it was traveling to the Unity or death, was tragedy the only thing waiting for them?

“I’ll never stop looking for you,” Ren whispered, rubbing a thumb over his cheekbone in a tender caress. “I’ll look for you in every sunrise, on every planet, in every breath of fresh air.”

Sam, his hand over hers, held onto the fleeting warmth of her touch. “And I will always look for you, darlin’. Maybe… maybe the universe will do right by us, let us find each other again.”

“Maybe,” she echoed, the word leaving her lips like a fragile prayer, though she couldn't find belief in her own words. “Maybe the universe will be kind.”

“I love you, Ren.”

“And I love you, Sam.”

Velehk Sain

//click for better quality

Do not ASK ME why I take NPCs with <5min of screen time and make whole new characters out of them. I do not know why I do it, but I must.

So I feel like some explanation is needed. After the events of TDI, most things of Ego’s story will remain vague as to what they do post-Alduin. However, I really like this idea, and I think I’ll definitely make it canon in the post-TDI events.

With excitement for TESVI Hammerfell, I got a bit of a pirate craze. Velehk Sain is coolest pirate Bethesda gives us, and he happens to be a dremora-daedra, and you know how I love my dremora-daedra. The Pirate King of the Abecean Sea, where blood infects the water wherever his ship sails… has a gender crisis in my headcanon oh no.

Did I woobify him? …Yes. Am I having fun with it? Hell yeah. So, apologies if I yassified your cool pirate guy, I just couldn’t help myself.

Some 10-15 years after Ego defeats Alduin, they’ll seek out adventure in Hammerfell, hearing of a certain dremora pirate king roaming the seas. I think once TESVI actually comes out, I’ll have a better idea of why Ego wants to go to Hammerfell, but until then just bear with me. Ego has matured a bit, with a bit more of a cool head, but still as dumb and prideful as they were in TDI. This combats with Velehk, who is being ridiculed and challenged while being the Captain of his very own ship — he doesn’t need these complications, but dammit Ego just won’t stop. And they give him… some things to think about.

Oh he also has a homophobic skeleton-conjuration bird because it’s cool. Oh god, a name, a name. …Scuttle? Yeah. I like Scuttle — Scuttle the bird. He hates Ego so much.

Hmm, some other things… His sword is made of magical sea glass (thank you @bunniletto). Ego rehashed Sam’s robes to be pirate gear. Also don’t worry about Ego’s face/arm, I’m working on a reference and I’ll explain it all there.

And a dumb idea of how Ego would first encounter Velehk. //ignore their amor, it would be different now but I haven’t finished the new ref yet so waa// Ego talks a big (stupid) game with their pirate speech. Velehk is not impressed. His crew is worried. //kudos to @mellowscrolls for letting me use his pirate dude Heracles!//

Ego: Greetings, SCALLYWAGS. Where is your captain? I demand PARLAY. | I demand a SEA DUEL. C’mon, tell me, pretty birdie! Where is he?

𝐶𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑’𝑣𝑒，𝑊𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑’𝑣𝑒 || 𝑃𝑒𝑡𝑒 𝑀𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙

Pairings: Pete Mitchell x Daughter!oc

Warnings: Angst, blood, guns, mentions of death, swearing

Summary: Hummingbird, Mavericks daughter, was chosen to be apart of the dagger team.

Notes: Yall I finally saw TGM and just had the urge to write a angsty post abt it idk why

The tension was in the air, everyone felt it. Maverick had to choose, who would his wingman be? Three people, one wingman, two stand by’s.

“Hummingbird.”

You sucked in a breathe of air. You could feel their glares, you knew they felt you were favored, being Maverick’s daughter. You didn’t want that, you didn’t want to be chosen because of being his daughter, you wanted to be chosen because you could do it, because this was your mission.

“Dismissed.”

You were the first to leave, wanting to get to your plane as soon as you could. A hand caught your shoulder and you snapped your head to look at the perpetrator. Hangman stood there with a blank look.

“Hangman,-“

“Be careful.” He pulled you into a hug and after your initial shock, you hugged back. You had formed quite a bond in your time together at Top Gun, but you weren’t expecting a hug, rather a back handed complement.

When you pulled apart, you nodded at each other and went on your way. “Hummingbird!” Rooster called as he ran to catch up to you. You froze to a stop, afraid of what he would say, afraid he wouldn’t be so nice. “Just so you know, you better hope that you have what it takes up there, just because Mav’s your da-“

“Don’t start Rooster. Trust me, I’m not ecstatic to be picked either if it’s only out of favoritism.” You snapped back. Bradley’s mouth snapped shut as he stared at your harsh glare. He nodded and walked away, leaving you to close your eyes and take a deep breath. You saw your dad about to get into the plane next to yours and jogged to stop him. “Dad!”

Mavericks head turned to look at you, smiling slightly. “Hey, what’s…” he paused at your slight frown, “what’s wrong, birdie?”

“Please, tell me you didn’t pick me because you felt obligated too. If that’s the deal then I don’t want to be flying if you think I can’t do it.” Your exasperated voice hurt his heart. Maverick didn’t want you to think he didn’t believe in you, hell he believed you were just as capable as him.

“Y/n, I picked you because I know you can do this. Not because you’re my daughter, but because you’re the best pilot here.” He pulled you in for a hug and you hugged back tightly, needing the words of reassurance. “Now go, we have a mission to fulfill.”

“Yes sir.” You smiled back and went into your plane, putting on your helmet. You took a deep breath and let everything sink in.

⍟

“Shit! Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! I’m out of flares! I’m out of damn flares! Looks like no amo either!” Your almost panicked voice came through everyone’s com’s as you began your best to avoid income SAM’s.

“Hang on, hummingbird, I’m coming.” Maverick used a move to fly back and stay on top of you, using his flares to get rid of your incoming missiles. Until a SAM neither of you saw hit his engines and sent him spiraling down. “DAD!” You screamed as you watched the plane crash into the landscape. “We have to circle back for him!”

Your rushed voice broke everyone’s heart. “Bird, he’s gone.” Bobs voice came through your com’s but you weren’t paying attention.

“Are you going to send a search and rescue?” You all but pleaded.

“Not with active bandits.”

“But!-“

“Hummingbird, he’s gone, we have to get back to the ship.” Coyotes voice was white noise to you. Everyone kept trying to reach you as you didn’t respond, stuck in your own head. You don’t know what came over you, but you turned your plane around and went back to the direction your dad crashed. Everyone was shouting at you to turn around, but you ignored them. Back on the ship, Hangman and Rooster exchanged worried glances.

You saw the helicopter shoot at something on the ground and then watched it relocate to shoot at the same thing. With your last missile, you locked target and shot it down, flying over head as you tried turning to see if it was shooting at Maverick. With no sight of him you faced forward and started to turn around, but instead faced heart first to an incoming MIG. With nothing left, you pushed forward, taking all the hits until you were 2 feet away and ejected.

Your body was littered with shrapnel and sparks from the collision as you floated down to the ground. The adrenaline wasn’t enough for you to not feel the pain of the piece of metal lodged into your left side, or the pieces digging into your thigh. You unhooked your parachute and started your way towards your dad. “DAD! MAVERICK!” You called out.

“BIRD?” You heard his voice and took of in a limping run/jog. Ignoring the pain in your leg, you followed his voice til he was in your sights. Maverick sprinted to you and caught you in a bone crushing hug, you returning it.

Then he pushed you back, “What the hell were you thinking?” He yelled.

“We’ll I mostly wasn’t, but what I was, was that I don’t want to outlive my father and have to go on with out him!” You winced as you yelled back, holding onto your side as Pete just took notice.

“Holy shit, Bird, are you ok?” He asked but sighed when he saw your glare, “Okay, dumb question. We gotta get you somewhere safe.”

“Yeah well, they’re not sending search and rescue so what’s the plan.”

“First, we need to get that metal out of you. We’re too far from my plane and yours is most likely in pieces so I’m gonna have to pull them out then just wrap it as tight as I can.” He said motioning you to sit down. You did and he unzipped his flight suit and pulled off his shirt, ripping it into strips.

You unzipped you suit and lifted up your shirt so he can get to the shrapnel in your side.

“Alright this is gonna hurt like hell so bare with me and try not to scream.” He looked at you and you nodded in understanding. He gripped the metal and started to pull it out as you bit your fist to muffle your screams. It broke his heart to her you in pain but Mav kept going until it was out. He then took the longest strip from his shirt and started wrapping it around you as tight as he could. He wrapped an extra strip around it to help soak up the blood too.

“This hurts like a bitch.” You seethed as he moved to pull the shards out of your leg. Tears we’re streaming down your face by time he finished with what he could and he wrapped around the suit of your leg, hoping it’ll help with the blood. He tied it as tight as he could and helped you put your flight suit back on and stand up.

“Alright come on, I have a plan.”

⍟

“You wanna steal an enemy F-14 that we’re not even sure runs.”

“That’s the plan.”

“You can’t be serious.” He answered your question by taking off towards it, “He’s serious.” You mumbled, taking off to catch up to him.

“Alright, it’s probably gonna hurt getting in, especially with my shitty patch job with our limited resources. But just try to act natural, and please, don’t close your eyes.” He pleaded the last part, glancing at you. You both knew that while it would’ve been safer, there was no way to go unnoticed in enemy territory with a chunk of metal sticking out of your side.

⍟

“Aright Dad, he’s the last one.” You reassured as Maverick focused on gunning down the last MIG that was stopping your safe return. He started up the guns and used the last of the amo to take down the plane, sending it into the terrain. “Yeah!” We both cheered as we continued out and above the ocean. You started again to look for the switch for the radio and reached down with a groan but flipped the switches and got it on.

“Hey, I got the radio working!” Your celebration was cut short as another plane was detected. “Shit, shit where is it?” You looked around when your dads voice stopped you.

“He’s in front of us. Hang on, this is gonna hurt.” Mav broke right, now set on evading the MIG. “Those two handles above your head are the eject, pull those when I say so.”

“Wait what?”

“Birdie, it’s the only way, we have no way to defend ourselves, I’ll gain altitude, then you have to eject.” He said sternly. He took a sharp break left and you groaned as you hit your left side. He started climbing, the g-force starting to get to you. “Alright, eject!”

You pulled the handles but it didn’t budge, “Dad it’s not working!”

“Eject, eject, eject!” You started to panic and pull with all your might.

“I’m sorry! It’s not working! I love you!” You we’re in tears, the pain was becoming too much while mixed with the climbing g-force and your flight suit was drenched in blood.

“Shit! I love you too! Keep trying!” Suddenly, the MIG on your tail burst into flames, and Hangman’s jet came into view. You both breathed out a sigh, yours a little softer as the blood loss and small loss of adrenaline started to kick in.

“Good after…and gentlemen…your…” Hangman’s voice was fading in and out as you began to start feeling tired.

“Dad? I’m really tired, are you tired?” Your voice was soft and slurred together.

“Y/n? It’s ok, it’ll be ok, don’t fall asleep, were almost on the ship I promise.” His voice fell on deaf ears as you faded in and out of consciousness. “Hum!…listen to!…”

Maverick had felt fear before, but looking in your backseat to see the girl you had raised from a baby looking lifeless while drenched in blood is a whole new level. “Hangman! Hummingbird is unconscious! She’s lost a lot of blood and is unconscious!” Mavericks voice was panicked and everyone on the ship was suddenly aware of the situation now that he’s made it clear.

When he finally landed with you, and the canopy opened, he was pulling himself out before unbuckling you and pulling you out. Everyone watched with horror at the sight of you, your whole left side of your suit drenched in blood, almost no sign of life, being cradled in Mavericks arms as he was in tears. Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell, the person everyone had thought was this badass fighter pilot, was sobbing over his only daughter, who he had thought died in his arms. He tried to feel for a pulse but in his erratic state couldn’t find one.

You had to be pried from his grip as you were taken in by the medics, Pete collapsing as soon as you were out of his arms. He could hear it, as much as he wishes he didn’t, he heard the scream rip from Phoenix’s throat when she saw you on the stretcher. Rooster, who was crying as well, sat beside Maverick and they both just cried into each other. Hangman had disappeared somewhere as soon as he saw you. He couldn’t bear looking at you, not like that.

There wasn’t a single person on that ship that knew you that wasn’t crying. You weren’t hard to like. Your smile could light up the room and make just about anyone near you feel better.

Mav couldn’t do this, he couldn’t lose two of his best friends and his daughter. He regrets ever letting you end up like him, joining the navy, being a reckless flyer and being taught ‘don’t think, just do’. Look where it got you. If you were dead right now he would never forgive himself, because this could’ve been prevented. He had know this would happen, we would’ve never picked you for this mission, or even let you become a pilot.

He would’ve never let you die.

legend of vox machina season 2 episode 5: pass through fire OR you are not immune to marisha ray

I knew that was zephra!

vilya! with both legs!

(voiced by korra's actress!)

baby keyleth!

(voiced by sam's daughter!)

keyleth's little ponytail

"we were made to pass through fire" cool I'm already crying

"you look more mature" "I'm going to take that as a compliment. because of how mature I am."

all those sticks fall on percy's head

keyleth thinking she's being perceived as a burden/annoyance and immediately shutting down

marisha has always described her as a gifted kid growing up into an awkward, anxious adult and this episode just REALLY highlights that

Bacon Edge

I'm SO GLAD we got this scene

roommate: why does [grog] talk like that me: he has an intelligence of 6

I like their little windbreak they made for the cave

raven mom please let him sleep

mala: how does he pee. the show has to answer this question eventually.

I fucking love grog and pike

so glad the broom isn't essentially a joke item this time

"scanlan! you're a birdie!"

"we don't have time for this" was the subtitle of the first campaign

"keyleth would drop everything to help us" and has!

"especially you" my heart

keyleth's dad has a voltron-ass design

ah yes, competent women here to save us

"we can certainly try" she said the thing

"I am VERY FLAMMABLE"

love vex's expressions when allura bamfs in

baby allura!

wasn't there someone in kraghammer that was part of their group? or am I misremembering bc I refuse to watch kraghammer again

('why won't you watch kraghammer?' that's where the onion man lives)

I said I was gonna gush about this and I'M GONNA I've never gotten to hear marisha really Act (yes the stream but roleplay is different and also audio quality) and she DECIMATED me here. I started tearing up preemptively.

like everything from "I'm sorry dad" on just. I am in the floor. I live in the floor now. I am not allowed to leave the floor.

me: let vax live mala: I mean he very much does not. you know he doesn't. me: IN THE MEANTIME

outfit! forehead shiny!

that callback

I can hear robbie now with my fancy headset but I fully did not before

keyleth's dad ships it

korrin: date the stinky one

LESBIANS

elves (derogatory)

trinket looks so proud of himself

I can't believe they hand-painted the reflections on the dragons. like what the fuck. give all the animators a raise.

THIS BITCH

the credits song is the Outhouse At The End of the World song
