NEW CHAPTER NERDS check it out!!! @esperanzagalaxy throwing some serious punches with some emotional development for these beloved characters 😭 Here’s some propaganda- i mean art, fanart- for eots. Enjoy Zolf’s dusty studio, map, me also falling in love with zolf at the mention of having seconds prepared, Hamid’s handkerchief attack, and the nerds peeping on their friends 🥰

What your favourite RQG pairing says about you

Zolf/Wilde: You're either relatively new to the fandom, or you've been here for at least 4 years and have basically committed to these guys for life.

Wilde/Grizzop: you like Zoscar but wish there was more biting involved.

Zolf/Hamid: You like ships where the dynamic isn't so much "enemies to lovers" as it is "difficult and messy friendship to difficult and messy romance".

Wilde/Hamid: You just really like charming men in pretty clothes and I can't blame you for that.

Grizzop/Hamid: You just want to see that halfling get absolutely destroyed, and I can't blame you for that either

Zolf/Hamid/Wilde: You actually really liked the epilogues, thank you very much.

Zolf/Wilde/Grizzop: Your favourite rqg fanfic is Miri's Four Seasons Total Landscaping Au.

Bertie/Wilde: You're still on season 1.

Bertie/Zolf: You're still on the prologue.

Grizzop/Veseek: You have at least one @areyouokaypanda drawing saved on your phone.

Carter/Wilde: You are Tumblr user @crayonturtle or Tumblr user @knifemartin

Barnes/Carter: You're *still* waiting for that 18 Month Timeskip Oneshot.

Cel/Barnes: You want to kiss that sailor sooo bad... You want to live on a houseboat with him soooooo bad......

Cel/Sasha: You either really like Lydia Nicholas, or you just like characters bonding over a shared love of violence.

Grizzop/Sasha: You want to live in the woods and consensually hunt your friends for sport sososososo bad. You're also probably some flavour of aromantic but who knows.

Skraak/Hamid: You are clapping and cheering any time Hamid develops a new draconic trait. You have relistened to the second airship arc more than once.

Azu/Hamid: You just want Azu to be happy.

Azu/Kiko: You just want Azu to be happy, and you're sapphic.

Azu/Sasha: You want Azu to be happy, you're sapphic, and you can't listen to episode 125 without crying

Ed/Tjelvar: I have nothing to say for this one but you're cool as fuck and this is a peak ship. We should be friends.

[scrambled-eggsed]

This is like. The one thing i processed from this episode

[lolotr]

There's not enough grizzop/veseek fic. However much there is, it isn't enough

[radiantmists]

And there it is.

Lost in some hellish in-between plane isnt quite how I expected them to go, especially given the whole "paladin's sacrifice" thing, but it sounds like a pretty awful way to end up. Especially because I'm a bit dubious as to whether you would actually die from this or just be in unspeakable, literally incomprehensible agony for eternity.

(Also, gotta feel bad for Eldarion, who really thought she was saving Sasha and didnt quite manage it.)

A gift for @cuewulfir for CTLs gift exchange! I can't pass up the oppurtunity to draw the gobbo fam

[ID: A digital drawing of Grizzop Drik Acht Amsterdam, Veseek and thewir clutch from Rusty Quill Gaming. Grizzop is carrying and playing with his clutch all have big grins on their faces. Grizzop is a  gray goblin with red eyes and his ears are pierced with silver and green earrings. He is wearing a beige shirt and brown pants. Veseek is a gray goblin with a tuff of hair sticking up, they have red eyes and silver hoop earring. They are wearing a long sleeve shirt and tan slacks. /End ID]

[areyouokaypanda]

Hello! If you're accepting prompts, can I please request Grizzop and Veseek riding an elephant?

Okay... so I never did learn how to draw animals without strict reference, so forgive the stiffness, but... look how small they are. Even a baby would be bigger than them.

[moofbat]

Since it's pride month, can I ask for rqg characters in drag? I would love it if you'd do Zolf or Wilde but honestly I'll take any character :)

veseek, skraak, wilde and sasha!!! i had a lot of fun w these outfits :] also spot which of these wasn’t done at the same time as the rest of them LMAO

ID: one waist up and three full body drawings of rqg characters in drag, split across two canvases. from left to right they are veseek, skraak, wilde and sasha.

vesseek is a thin but widely built green goblin with floppy, hairy ears holding a large sword by their side. they are in a dark red leather outfit, consisting of a tight bralette style stop that is attached by metal rings to slightly low waisted flared trousers that have laced panels at the sides of the thighs, they have above the elbow gloves in a matching material. they are also wearing brown, pointed toe boots with a slight heel. there are chains connected to two small metal rings on their chest that hang gently over the top.

skraak is a stocky red kobold with a pointed head that has two small golden horns coming off of it, and two fangs coming out the front of their mouth. he is in an open chested, loose and flowing green dress with sleeves that hit the floor, which has a dark turquoise lining. there is a studded gold belt around their waist and his nails are painted purple. he is barefoot and his tail can be seen on the floor through a slit in the thigh of the dress.

wilde is a broad white man wearing large fake breasts in a red, figure hugging fishtail gown with puffy teal sleeves made of a silky material and an extremely tall blue collar that fans out behind his head. he also has a deep purple cloak behind him and a bright pink curled wig that sits around his shoulders. on the dress there are golden peacock feathers with teal eyes. the puffy sleeves also have a tight golden hem.

sasha is viewed from the waist up, she is a thin white woman with short black hair that is slicked and styled back. she is wearing a purple cropped shirt with a short waistcoat over it and dark blue trousers. her face is painted white, contoured in grey with pronounced cheekbones and a defined bridge of her nose. she is holding a skull in her right hand which she is facing and talking to. she has hairy arms and a thin moustache painted above her lip. end ID.

[saltqueer]

Predictably, RQG for the blorbo etc ask game!

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Cel 100% I love them SO MUCH

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): probably all the kobolds? I don't really experience cuteness aggression but I do think they're the cutest

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): not sure on this one. my favorite character the fandom never talks about is that one goblin who gave Sasha the adamantine dagger, because they refer to nobody having Q or Z as names, and I have a Q first name while my brother has a Z one. but I don't really think of them as underrated

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): Veseek Veseek Veseek Veseek Veseek Veseek Veseek Veseek

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): again not sure on this one. I don't tend to feel this way about characters. Grizzop to some extent I suppose bc he's an asshole but he's not unpopular or anything

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): again I don't really feel this way towards characters. Bertie maybe? I do read Wilde whump sometimes?

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): look. thank you Eldarion for helping the party get in and out of the Hades plane but fuck you so so so so much for how you treat(ed) Sasha

[lungsareforlove]

sasha rackett 😭😭😭😭😭 I have dreamed a million daydreams of canon divergence. I thought that she could be the deity of hope. I thought that she could've met zolf in the Harlequins in another universe. so many thoughts for the girl who always ran away.

scrunkly: (my "baby", ch that gives me cuteness aggression, ch that is So Shaped)

SKRAAK 😭😭💟 every time alex talks as skraak my heart goes 💗❤️💖💜💗💞💞💜💕💜💙❤️🧡💜💙💜💚💖❤️💗 KOBOLD BOY

[evieebun125]

This is art for the Chapter 2 of How Many Second Chances Will We Get written by @adhduck​!! for @podcastbigbang​!

You can find the podfic version here  by @guinevere01

Summary:

Usually the only things capable of dragging Grizzop into sleep are either exhaustion or a begrudging acceptance that he has to rest for his spells to replenish. Tonight, his adrenaline is miles ahead of exhaustion, and he’s not getting his spells back either way, since they seem to be in an anti-magic cell, so he’s awake when it happens–-one moment, he’s squinting into the empty monochrome beyond the bars, and the next, everything is…wrong.

Or: No one gets lost in Rome, but there are consequences to dragging your friends back through thousands of years–-namely, reliving quarantine over, and over, and over again.

[ID: A digital drawing of Grizzop Drik Acht Amsterdam and Veseek from Rusty Quill Gaming. Veseek and Grizzop are in the center of the picture, Veseek is holding Grizzop by his shoulders talking to him with a smile; they both look  nervous over the conversation. In the background their is a bedroll on the ground and the bottom edge of Azu’s beige pink patterned skirt and Hamid's robes of ancestry. Grizzop is a  gray goblin with red eyes and his ears are pierced with silver and green earrings. He is wearing a green overcoat and silver Artemis armor, beige pants, and leather gloves. Veseek is a gray goblin with a tuff of hair sticking up, they have red eyes and silver hoop earring. They are wearing a tan long sleeve shirt and tan slacks. /End ID]

RQG 152

Poor Alex, there was no way to know and changing the story would be more of a breach of the implied contract than going forward. Plus side this warning implies we'll get more info on how the biology of the infection works before RSB actually explodes. To be clear I am all for warnings, I just imagine this was one heck of an awkward position for Alex & co to find themselves in. Well one would think they wanted to get through the intros as fast as physically possible! Seriously bless em for sticking with the structure instead of saying screw it and diving right in. Must be frustrating but it really helps me get in the right space to listen. Yeah it was a bit of an altruism run. That Ben physically ill at the prospect of characters talking? Yuck it up, I was specifically promised three (3) distinct topics would be addressed including both coping mechanisms and back stories. Poor Azu. If someone doesn't hold her while she has a proper cry I will be an unhappy Magpie. Are the new kids going to be invited to the conversations that are totally for sure not going to be put off for a month? Retcon: Barnes and Carter actually fought well it. I guess they were just down to the tricky ones. Theatrical much? Cel is great, have I said that enough? Well obviously not it should be declared at least hourly: "2 o' clock and Cel is great". But right after last episode instead of backing down (and IDK implying Wilde told the new kids their pronouns), Cel is immediately introducing themself with them and emphasizing their importance. Hamid right in there with the leadership, telling the duo that the party needs to go into isolation. I know having Zolf around must have took some weight off his shoulders but the man has grown since season one or even since Prague. He didn't lose that just because he cheers up when not solely responsible for leading the party. Note there is a messy negotiation with Zolf about who is in charge coming up and it is a mark of my trust in this show that I'm not dreading it. Am curious if it will be explicit enough for the white picket fence kids to pick up on, I know I have a thing about rank but some people seem to miss that aspect entirely. OK point Zolf but even with his charisma score there has to be a better way to put it than "do that and you are responsible for infecting Jasper and the village". Wow I guess that is the case isn't it. Thank you leader!Hamid coming in again. Getting Cel the kind of updates on home Hamid was denied in quarantine is fairly low risk for great gains in Cel's comfort with the whole thing. Point of clarity: as much as I hate to admit it, once the quarantine began they couldn't really keep Hamid in the loop since Ishaq was in the care of the Harlequins. Its been implied even without simply escaping an infected person could have means of communication that work in am anti magic cell. The village however is public info. Zolf, I want that again in small words! Are we talking black death or infrastructure problems? Because a few targeted infections could take out the government but not directly kill the citizens. Cel is doing the forced cheer again. What the hell have they been through that they default to words of affirmation for gory violence? Like most characters acknowledge the gore or that it was helpful, not both. Barnes is more reserved outside of the fight. Issues? Trauma? Oh Helen spelling it out, he's my type, crap. "Emotionally unavailable pirate" is a lot of people's type TBF. No wonder I made a warding gesture on hearing Zolf's description and didn't warm up till Dover. These characters wear the red flag as a cape and I'm surprised when my heart gets broken every time. Eh Zolf came back and is doing well enough, maybe Barnes will turn out to just not be chatty vs heart rending. And Hamid in there with the initiative casting Detect Magic so they don't have to face all the risks implied with not checking over the bodies. Barnes and Carter are glowing "like a fireworks factory where things have gone wrong". Only Water Breathing on the mooks. Speaking of emotionally unavailable pirates, Zolf sounds resigned as hell. I know he's working on it but the situation would depress anyone and he's been having a time of it, what with the puzzles and all. Shutting down isn't actually coping better than being shouty just more convenient. Have I already mentioned I want someone to comfort Azu on screen so she can put herself first for once? Remember how bright she shone in Cairo? If she doesn't process soon she's going to echo Zolf's arc. Carter is trying to looking at the bright side. Thank you Ben and Alex, not only a mood lightener but one that reminds us that Zolf asks direct questions now. And Zolf just moved as clearly as possible to protect Azu after Carter lashed out in response to her. I know they have a ways to get to where Grizzop & Azu were but I think they are at least proper team mates. Maybe having Zolf on this side of the bars this time will ease anything Azu is carrying from their introduction. Cel is a delight. Did they just suggest hamster balls? I love how Alex jokes about his own set design. Ah there is Ben's Minecraft joke. I think that's what you call environmental story telling. I love the mental image of them making their entrance crashing the mine cart into the ambush, like half way between a roller-coaster and sledding. Ah its been so long Zolf can't apply his memories of mining. They are officially out! Azu and Zolf are finally breathing right. Hey Zolf broke the weather machine! Cel takes a look see. Plumes of smoke from Shoin's? Wreckage from all the storms. Zolf joins Cel and USES HIS WORDS! I am so proud of him. Like not kidding learning to proactively offer praise & comfort instead of only offering concrete assistance in reaction is a huge step. Oh Cel! Getting yourself killed fighting alone would not have been better than defending your patch. And Zolf is right there, god remember Paris? Remember Prague? Now look at him. And there is the reality check. Not as jarring as it could have been. Azu is face down on the ground near Hamid! No more putting on her game face and slogging through it! Yes, process all you need darlin, no reason to rush. Hamid checks in! Azu takes his hand and explicitly talks about how scary it was when he was missing. Hamid talks about putting on a brave face for Skraak! RQG really just said "we're giving the fandom everything they want" in an episode recorded before we had a chance to ask. Azu checks in with Hamid! Oh Hamid its ok not to be ok. Oh hat Azu! Hamid call your family 18mumble is a go! Alex I will scream if he gets another delaying tactic. Cross your fingers we might get Ishaq and Saira! Azu assures him it would OK. Timing Zolf Horses! Topaz! Barnes: right Well that's a fair reaction to a celestial camel, he doesn't even know what the T stands for. Azu hugs Topaz Thank you Alex for making judgmental celestial camel canon.  How GMs don't all go insane with power from the moment it hits they can rewrite their world on a whim is beyond me. A Shetland for Hamid, a standard sounding horse for Cel, a cart horse for Azu, and another Shetland for Zolf. Carter can't get the question out before Zolf shuts him down. He is sticking to his word to Skraak, the island belongs to the Kobolds. Hamid calls en route! Bryn remembers to roll for it! Ishaq is a great kid, such a good sign he sounds like a kid too. Yes the kids are all together in the country house! Dad is at a redacted location, thank you Alex! Mom is alright! Saira is busy and the biggest problem with Ismail is that he is now taller than Ishaq! Ismail is good at magic too. Family bonding time. Einstein is working. Emeka & Veseek are helping things. Ed is with the family. Zolf is not happy about the call. Fair Zolf but none of us are regretting that call. Eh it being a one time thing is fair. Have I mentioned I like how Hamid & Zolf bicker? Its not like with Grizzop. They assume good faith and argue about the issue not score points. Part of why I shipped them in the beginning honestly: charismatic as Hamid is he probably impressioned like a duck on the first person to care more about what he was saying than how he said it. They joke about how hard nonverbal shots are in a podcast. Yes Alex we really do respect your craft. Might have been reassuring Ben. Helen is on the audience's side as always and tells him to pay up on the promised coping mechanisms talk. And Alex makes them roll a perception check. Do not talk block. Carter has been trying to eavesdrop. Azu tells him he isn't invited and Zolf tosses something at his head. Carter slinks back off. Zolf is still not good with words but he is resisting the urge to take it back. That counts damn it! Azu: your not good at talking for someone who says we need to talk. Yes Azu, and thats what makes it special. He is willing to put himself out there and do things he is bad at for the sake of the team. I like how Helen plays Azu getting over her issues with Zolf rather than just leaping to "Hamid vouched for you so we're besties". I need a clip of this, Zolf is offering to listen and be there while respecting boundaries and citing his own experience. Helen is great, Azu jumps right into the 18 months by asking about his relationship with Poseidon. Which again makes sense, as Azu is still working on "we met after you drugged, trapped, and imprisoned me". Which I get but seriously couldn't it have been in the stew or something? Drugging a woman's drink has connotations. Azu backstory(ish) oh thank Alex her cult is still doing the good work. Zolf tells Azu this, and offers her an out? Hamid & Zolf offer reassurance. Yes Hamid specifically tells her it isn't her fault. Zolf assures her that she isn't responsible for Sasha's decisions. Cel and Carter are chatting about what they've seen on the island.  Barnes tells them to keep the volume down and does Zolf's thing of bouncing something off Carter's head when he's loud again. Hamid moves to check in with Cel. Cel calls him on it.  Hamid asks what Cel plans to do after quarantine! Thank you Bryn! Cel doesn't know, ow. Cel feels obligated to be more proactive. Hamid reassures and points out that they were able to do it as a team so its not on Cel for not acting alone. Cel what is your backstory, afraid of being the monster. Thank you, I could wrap myself in this episode like a blanket. Cel how do you know that about being friends with mercs? Hamid would do it again but wants them to have a choice. Cel: When I call you little buddy I m not referring to the size of your heart. And that was veering saccharine so Ben swoops in with the Harrison Campbell joke. Do not make me get into why Hamid might be using snobbery as a cover for continuing to care more about what people might think than what he wants. Its a cheap shot for what could equally be he's that age and still has some flaws to work through. Thank you Alex for being realistic about horse pace without turning it into a word problem. Wilde! Cel points out the inn keeper could be infected, the boys explain the system of watching one another. Zolf is not letting Wilde get cute with his team again. Wilde wants them "fully supervised" in the bath. I feared that Alex, Wilde turned himself off again. Zolf calls him on it, kinda. They skim past the bath, thank you that could have been problematic. Thank goodness they are leaving the cell door open but locking the trap door. The new kids are in quarantine with them. Fair, going to be fun, but fair.
