#terramortisSMP

Hi going to highlight something I love-

and that's Beck's (PossiblyAwesom) acting

The past two streams (A boundSMP stream and TerramortisSMP stream) plus all the previous ones but those two are fresh in my brain- it's just kind of hit me.

Terramortis especially. Owen's nervous behavior, semi-panicky efforts to ease the conflict and just watching quietly when he cant- almost like he's watching for danger. Like a scared cat trapped in a cage.

Leo is uncomfortable, so Owen is uncomfortable. Daisy is bubbly as always, chatting along with Julius. Owen's always watching for that line, for something to snap, to go wrong, and how he can stop that and fix that before it happens. The issue is here that there's nothing he can do. Leo and Julius aren't anyone he can sway with fixing things.

And Beck portrays this so well- to the point where I can feel that sensation (Don't worry, it doesn't effect me past that!). The perfect tone, stutters, the usage of the in-game glow effect when someone says something that makes him nervous, etc- it's so great. Even the particular of Owen sticking so close to Leo but immediately backing up the second he lights a cigarette.

Additionally- Sylph is a character I'm becoming increasingly attached to. He's overexcitable and a bit abrasive but well meaning. But after Gaverin called them childish- repeatedly during interactions with Rune, Rune says things like "Don't do that-" or sort of mild, unintentional scoldings-

And Sylph's energy drops. And she goes quieter, muttering "i know"s or "I wasn't going to-"s. Because those comments sort of prove something- that he's childish. At least that's how he's taking those comments. Thats what they think they prove.

And I just thing that's really neat honestly- the depth of all these characters arararararara
