#veth’s rambling

[vethsoddities]

I love how all of us looked at Max and we’re like he’s a asshole but he wouldn’t dead name or misgender someone and made the whole school be accepting and town goers like Karen Chasity uses the right pronouns

And honestly I respect it

I AM DAN REYNOLDS ‼️‼️

[residentinsomniacartist]

wait wait wait guys have you ever thought about how the Mighty Nein are everything they shouldn’t be upon first glance

no no guys guys listen to me they’re all the antithesis of what they’re meant to be and that’s why they’re such amazing and heartfelt characters

like, Caleb is a wizard who’s afraid of his own fire magic. his own power causes him to falter in battle. his strongest spells are his most dangerous to himself. wizards are supposed to be prideful of their magic, but Caleb’s is the reason he hates himself

Beau is a monk who never wanted to be. her job is one that people normally associate with being calm and collected and Beau was a wild rebellious kid who got dragged into this line of work against her will. she never wanted to be this!! but now she is and she’s gotta deal with it!!

Fjord is a warlock who never wanted power from his pact, which is why you’d think a warlock would make their pact at all. but no. Fjord made his pact because he wanted to live, not because he wanted power. he was a scared orphan who hated his tusks, not a buff, muscled, angry half-orc like people assumed

Nott is NOT, that’s the whole crux of her narrative! she wasn’t pretty, like a halfling girl was supposed to be. she wasn’t a goblin, she was just transformed into one. and not only that, but despite being a three-foot-tall alcoholic kleptomaniac, she’s the mom of the group!

Jester is a Cleric whose god isn’t actually a god and who would much rather bash bad guys over the head with her lollipop than have to stop and heal her friends!! she’s a bubbly, optimistic ray-of-sunshine, but you know when she says she’s gonna change the world with friendship she means it as a threat

Mollymauk is an amnesiac, but he doesn’t want to remember who he was. if you ask him, that wasn’t him! he might be a flirtatious hedonistic carnie, but he’s also single-mindedly devoted to making the world a better and more loved place than it was when he found it. he’s a liar, but he means well. he’s an arrogant fool, yes, but he’s right! he did it! he left it better!

Caduceus seems like he’d be creepy and grim from growing up in a graveyard, but he’s actually the most chill out of the entire Nein by far. he’s calm, he’s sweet, and he’s comforting, more than anything else. you’d think he’d be amazed by seeing the outside world for the first time, but he spends the whole time knowing that one day he’ll return home, that he wasn’t supposed to be the one to leave

Yasha is a barbarian with skeletal wings and a dramatic, monochromatic look, but she’s a complete sweetheart. she’s Molly’s best friend, she was a carnival bouncer, she’s a lesbian disaster who collects pressed flowers in a book out of love for the wife she lost. those black wings were actually hiding soft white feathers

Essek was born straight into the den of politics, he was a spymaster, he literally started a war for his own gain, and yet. he’s sounds irredeemable on paper, but. he’s not!! sure, the Nein kind of have to drag his alignment kicking and screaming into neutral, but they manage it. Essek learns and grows and he overcomes his nature. he becomes good, against all odds

guys guys guys don’t you see it!! look at them!!they’re such compelling characters!! they’re everything they’re not supposed to be!! dude y’all how didn’t I realize this earlier!! they subvert their narratives in the most interesting ways ever and I justhshsbhshshsjnsmshsnhsfn!!

[kyoodledoodle]

I may have finished cr2 but THE M9 GRIND NEVER STOPS

and I have more headcannons :) mainly for post campaign life but also just generally

Yasha has a lot of freckles and Molly figured out they match up to constellations :) aasimar stuff

After working with kids at the camp for quite a bit, Veth has accidentally started working kid vocabulary into her regular speech, except with lots of swearing

Fjord has discovered that after being on the sea for so long, his balance and dexterity are just so much more fine tuned to being on the water than on land

Fjord receives lots of little Jessie kisses- she’s a very early riser and sometimes he wakes up with a little lipstick kiss on the tip of his nose :)

Fjord still gets weird sleep visions and often wakes up in the middle of the night. And Jess just. Hug. Big teefle hug.

I think if any of them snore, Veth and Cad are the loudest- absolute fog horn snoring

Caleb often tries to make or buy food he remembers being everyone’s favorite- so with this he is a half decent baker with all of Jesters pastries

Fjord has very good handwriting and is surprisingly good at telling tales, so along with Jesters art, their letters from the sea are quite excitedly received by the rest of the nein

Molly/ Lucien/ Kingsley is a short king (literally). 5’4 nothing and will cuss you out like a sailor

[evilpenguinrika]

Veth having a Minotaur kink will never not be funny

I am continuously wheezing at the hilarity of it

never change, Veth. never change

[vethsoddities]

Replying to this as I’m re-watching for the second time i watched it last night and Abstinence Camp at the end of it she says something like “I anxiously await Abstinence camp all year long, and I’m not going to let a few bumps in the road spoil my summer”

So I’d assume she has been their almost all her life because seeing how Mark and Karen are they’d send her because it’s kinda like a church camp and Grace likes bible study so I’d assume she goes their a lot

All and all I agree with you op

npmd hc/theory(?)

Grace has the "Dirty Girl" fantasy and knows how to hide a body because of her time at Camp Idontwannabang.

HEAR ME OUT.

I can't remember if this is something from abstinence camp or just a headcanon I have, but I feel like Grace has been to abstinence camp for more years than one, or that it's some sort of summer camp you can be a regular at.

Therefore, in the NPMD timeline, Grace knows how to bury a body because she walked in on Girl Jeri, Boy Jerry, and a corpse or two just like in Abstinence Camp, and they had her help them get rid of said corpse(s). And, maybe when she walked in, Jeri and Jerry were having one of their weird-repressed-sexual-tension moments, involving Jerry calling Jeri "dirty girl" like he did in Abstinence Camp. And Grace, knowing nothing about sex or what's sexy, absorbs that like a sponge and resurfaces it later in NPMD when she feels the same tension Jeri and Jerry had.

[ruvi-muffin]

I am in need of veth & essek fics? (!!) The shenanigans they'd get up to half a decade into their relationship

Consider for a moment, this Not Even a ficlet probably:

Caleb: what do you say, veth? One last hurrah?

Veth: Caleb. Dear. It won't be a Last hurrah if you keep coming up with reasons to have one?

Essek, floating past, munching a cracker: She has a point.

Veth: Oh! He Speaks!

Essek: Oh i'm involved, oh no. Please pay me no mind. You can return to the moment.

Caleb: The moment is broken I'm afraid. I hope you did not interject out of a sense of feeling left out.

Essek: oh, Not at all. Believe you me, this is not my worst idea of a polycule.

Caleb: (scandalized) (!!)

Veth: Haha! (I'm in on the joke!)

Caleb: (betrayal!!)

Essek: I said what i said.

Essek: In fact..

(he floats up, wtiting on a piece of paper, out of view)

I have some ideas for this Last Hurrah.

(Blows on the ink folding the paper and hands it to Veth covertly)

Veth: oh ho ho owo !! I like your thinking, hot boi.

Caleb, nervously: Hooo boy. I'm in Trouble. owo;

What was on the piece of paper? Who can say.

Probably a very nostalgic, mock dangerous, wholesome caper as a gift to Caleb ♡

[not-a-hawk]

i am of the personal opinion that there should be more intersex veth fics. and by more i mean any

[thecavernsabove]

okay now i just want to talk about my expectations versus why i have ended up liking certain characters because i am just so intrigued by everything these people and characters do. for bells hells, i went into it knowing i would love ashton because they are the reason I started watching, i didn't think i would really latch onto any other character, apart from maybe fearne because she's a satyr and i am particularly partial to satyrs, and imogen because i mean it's laura bailey!

but what actually happened, is that yes i did get super attached to ashton of course i did, but my top three quickly became ashton, orym and laudna (and as someone who started being able to watch live at the split you can imagine how devastated i was). and recently chetney is really creeping up there. i do love all the characters dearly though.

ashton just reminds me of myself so much, apart from the fact that they are much braver than i could ever be, and blunter too. i wish i could be them and also see all my faults in them. its a lot.

orym was my first introduction to liam o'brien and his devastating little guys (more on caleb later), and just his backstory and the way he deals with people intrigues me so much and i want to see him happy so bad.

laudna oh laudna. marisha ray you have ruined me. even going into this with my minimal knowledge of the briarwoods, her backstory reveal was so intense and it hurt. also, creepy unnerving girlies stick together! she's iconic.

chetney is so wild to me i love him so much. he is so intensely gender as well i love him so much. i love gruff and grumpy characters that are actually nice once you are more friendly with them.

imogen. i will say it took a little bit for her to grow on me but i do love her. i think the bassuras dusk stuff really helped me like her more. also her immense power and lightning scars are pretty cool if you ask me.

fearne. i love how sweet she is and the stuff like being bad at lying and also just stealing little things here and there was really fun. but what made me like her more was when she got more serious and i didn't expect that (foreshadowing for later!)

fcg. now, i still have, mixed? feelings for fcg. in a sense of i dont hate the character but i think the character arc is not something im too interested in, but i do still like them. the stuff with frida was very nice, and i do like the bits that they do - but i think there still feels like there is something missing for me somewhat.

now, with the mighty nein, i had an inkling on who i would like. i thought caleb certainly because we seem very similar, molly maybe because i liked ashton so hey i might like this taliesin character too! and that was it really. going into it though, because i had seen so much of jester (talking about her and cosplays mostly) i thought that she would be probably my least favourite because her personality didn't seem to really gel with what i usually like in characters. but here i am, on the other side with my favs being caleb, fjord, and jester! it was so much watching everything for the first time, even with knowing the big spoilers and then looking at more minor spoilers so i knew somewhat what would happen - but i do that with a lot of things, its different knowing what happens versus actually watching and experiencing what is happening.

caleb. caleb widogast is such an intense character and i loved every minute i spent with him. i spent so much time checking when i would finally see the nein sided tower of his and watching liam describe everything for an hour was so incredible i was in awe. i truely love that dirt wizard so much.

fjord was a truly unexpected character for me to fall for. the first time i realized that i was going to love him though was when they were in the one politicians house early in the campaign and he held his sword to caleb to make sure he wasn't fucking with them. then seeing his growth, the accent change, and just his whole deal i was enraptured. i do miss the southern eldritch blast though.

jester oh my goodness did she creep up on me. i think her initial cuteness that i had experienced throughout just existing on the internet put me off for some reason but i don't know why. however i did quickly fall in love with her, when she had one of her more sinister/serious moments early on. i don't remember what it was but i remember thinking oh. /oh./ okay. i love her. and then her relationship with her mama, and artie, gosh i just loved watching laura bailey do literally anything. the cupcake bit! also the sprinkle bit is quite funny. i also just love doing her voice when im talking to myself. she is also the reason that i take a decent amount of damage spells with my current cleric.

beau. i think i thought that i would have liked her more than i did (don't get me wrong i liked her a lot but she is not in my top three), but she is incredible. as a fellow monk pc i do love going the extra mile with those stunning strikes, and also seeing her relationship with yasha blossom was so lovely. and her bro relationships with fjord and caleb were also some of my favourites.

yasha. after starting with campaign three, it was really hard to not see ashley all the time and i remember having to look on the wiki while watching to check when she would come back every time she left. i think i really started to like her more after her she got taken, and went through that big arc, and we were around her more often. i loved watching her dreams. i loved watching her so much.

veth was so unexpected are you kidding me?? i will say i have yet to have a sam character be in my top three but god he knows how to throw an emotional punch and i love that kind of stuff. i love her relationship with caleb, the detective agency, the chaos crew. i love her arc of getting herself back, of seeing her family again. ough. im a big lover of families.

caduceus. goodness gracious me what a character. i just absolutely loved the aesthetic and caduceus's whole relationship to how he approaches death. he is also the reason i started playing a grave cleric in a newer campaign. but truly, has made me think differently about death - which was especially needed for me this year.

mollymauk. i knew he was dead. i knew he would die. but that didn't make me any less upset when it happened! i think about him often, what could have been. especially since i was so sure he took the wrong amount of damage in that fight and should not have quite have been knocked out at that time. but his whole maximallist aesthetic is something i very much enjoy, and i love the through line of his cards with jester.

wow okay this has gotten to be very long but i need to get my thoughts about everyone out somewhere!! if you've read this far im so sorry this is so much of my own ramblings.

[vethsoddities]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed this because they’re a lot of motifs as like a preference is to the other hatchetverse

just finished abstinence camp and am listening to the axe man song in the credits again, and the melody and lyrics in the line "watching nerds run for their lives" in the axeman song comes back in nerdy prudes 😭 starkid forever impress me w their callbacks

[vethsoddities]

When Pete says “She’s Smarter than she thinks she is” I felt that and I will not explain it’s for me to know and you to find out

[bone--faerie]

Veth didn't "take" Luc to the Fey-Realm...

Clearly Veth wouldn't just go to the fey-realm just for fun, not without reason, she hints at the truth of the matter with the 843 Alfield incident, she just was embarrassed about what really happened. Clearly what happened was Luc snuck out one night and stumbled through a gate and ended up in the fey-realm for a day or two, which for Luc inside the Feywild was actually a few years thus the aging, his adventure through the Feywild would go on to spit him out near Alfield. By about this time Veth had contacted Kingsley who helped track the boy down, which led her to Alfield. this is the noted 843 Alfield incident hinted to by the halfling's mother, which gives reason to why Veth is unsure how much he aged as well as why none of the Mighty Nein were told about a trip to the Feywild.

[greenteaandtattoos]

Mmmm what if Veth and Orym met, huh? They saw two people much taller than them, who were troubled and traumatized and struggling, with questionable future plans and low self-esteem, and went, “So, I’m adopting them. I’m their parent now. I already signed the adoption papers.”

[vethsoddities]

Haha just him being like “If you don’t use the right name I’ll burn down the church” because that’d be so funny

I’m going to be so real here you hashtags on your reblog of my post were so funny and when I tell you I didn’t mean for it to come off as Max threatening Karen Chasity but honestly it’s even funnier to think about him doing so bc that seems like something he’d do lol

thank you so much lmao

I've been trying to think about HOW he would threaten her though

like what would get to her like

"I'LL STOP PRAYING IF YOU DON'T CALL THEM BY THE RIGHT NAME AND PRONOUNS" ?????

[musicals-and-mushrooms]

Mighty Nein playing Stardew Valley

yall REALLY liked the bells hells one, so i thought i'd do it again! Asks are open if you want to suggest any cosy headcanons, but i hope you like this one😊

Caduceus - Ok caduceus would be obsessed with this game. Forest farm, absolutely despises joja, wants a junimo hut because he loves the junimos but doesnt get one because he wants them to be happy in the spirit world. His farm is filled with trees and beehouses, and he roommates with krobus because they're cool!

Jester - Jester, like cad, is obsessed with this game. She loves to play co-op with anyone whos available, and spends WAY too much time on the character customisation (tbh i think thats just laura) she has multiple outfits for every occasion, and is invested in marnie and lewis' secret relationship. She keeps the pants, obviously. Also she has an *interesting* looking flower garden.

Veth - Absolute chaos. As soon as she learns how to craft bombs, she goes ham fluffernuttering the mines. Honestly forgets its a farming game. Just loves to mess with people and cause chaos.

Fjord - Fjord chose the beach farm. After spending ages gathering materials to craft sprinklers, he realises he cant use them on the beach farm. Cries and joins jester's co-op farm because she knows what shes doing. They end up getting married in game but jester gets annoyed because he forgot to change into his wedding tuxedo before the ceremony.

Yasha - Yasha kind of does her own thing. Doesnt really realise the community center is a thing, she just goes to the mines and keeps a nice flower garden, when shes not playing co-op with beau, she will marry leah. But obviously she will marry beau when she can.

Beau - Beau is a minmaxer. Checklists and charts everywhere to get the maximum amount of money. Shes the type that watches stardew iceberg videos. It takes a bit to help yasha understand the game but shes content to water the crops while beau tries to complete everything as fast as possible.

Caleb - Realises he can get a cat in the game, spends a week trying to make frumpkin's area as nice as possible. Just uses stardew as a break to just chill out. Favourite season is fall and really wants shane to get better. Hes really just an averagd stardew player.

Essek - Essek actually got caleb into stardew. They have a really nice co-op farm together which they have spent far too much time on. He really wants to download stardew valley expanded but caleb is content with the amount of stuff there already is in the game.

Kingsley - if im being honest i havent caught up on mighty nein reunited, but lets just assume theres gonna be chaos. A lot of chaos.

As always feel free to say what you think or suggest some more cozy headcanons!

[united-under-skyfall]

they're probably going to have to cut this part but when i tell you i will not recover if we get to see the scene where nott spends an afternoon pretending to be "just a normal halfling girl",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
