Tears washing away the grime.

Oh man so you can be an Issylran who lost everything in clashes between the gods and in the devastation of the Calamity and lose faith in the gods and like. somehow not go around doing every atrocity that existed. wild.

fiedra: long story short, my KEY just talked to a BOAT and a ship's coming

crokas:

crokas: I wish i was still dumb

What a delightful combat this has been despite the fact that it is the most basic of level 1 random encounters.

[the-big-nope]

Crokas, with the long-suffering demeanor of someone who now has enough intelligence to guess what’s coming: “I’m gonna end up carrying that, aren’t I?”

[the-big-nope]

Oh fuck this Moonweaver scene…

[the-big-nope]

I’ve been rereading the Stormlight Archive recently and boy howdy do I feel compelled to write a crossover where Nia and Kaladin meet.

[the-big-nope]

AGRUPNIN!!!!

Don’t get me wrong, finding a bunch of Vestiges and sentimental items is cool and lord knows these people could use something nice, but it does very much feel like the room in the video game full of nice weapons and health packs just before the boss.

[the-big-nope]

What a perfectly Moonweaver thing to find: things of beauty and works of art and culture and sentiment (little dolls held with just as much value as a beautifully crafted shield) hidden away to protect them from the forces that would destroy them.

On a scale of Erro Mordaurum to Ludinus Da’leth, how good are you at processing and moving on from a global catastrophe and losing your whole family?

[the-big-nope]

God this whole scene. Erro sharing his story. Matt getting the absolute most out of Garen as a craftsman to make me Emotional. Crokas swimming for the first time 🥲

[the-big-nope]

C’mon Liam, the gold dragonborn who’s been so dulled and tarnished by grime and wear you can barely tell he’s gold at all, finally unloading everything from all the hard years and beginning to shine gold again as he embraces hope one more time…

[the-big-nope]

"you have given me a gave insult with which i cannot disagree" this little goblin full of banging lines

[the-big-nope]

They gotta bring him along.

One of Exandria’s best qualities as a setting is how well it exemplifies a place that’s been through an apocalypse. It’s not one of those endless fantasy histories that never really evolves just so it can justify all its adventure sites, this one momentous period of time left irremovable scars on this world, and you can FEEL it in the present, so this skeleton ravine moment feels like a sign of how well Brennan gets Exandria’s whole vibe.

Very hard to do bicep curls while trying not to die laughing at Sam being mercilessly shocked by a bug zapper.
