You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

i don’t have a favourite bad kid because that’s like asking me to pick a favourite out of my 16 cats. it’s betrayal of the highest degree. they’re all my children AND my best friends simultaneously. respect them or die.

lucy frostblade, who is descended from giants, showing these little rats some kindness and reviving them after her party massacred them.

gorgug thistlespring, who is a half-orc raised by gnomes, using his strength and rage to protect his friends, being a creator rather than a destroyer.

two gentle giants who would have definitely been best friends. gorgug would have given lucy his metal flower in a heartbeat and she would’ve cherished it forever.

this might have been answered already and i’m being stupid but why couldn’t jace stardiamond act as principal while arthur aguefort was gone? because i’m pretty sure they said in the last episode that grix became acting principal in the case that both arthur and the vice principal weren’t there or weren’t able to take on the role. so is there a reason why jace couldn’t do it or is it just arthur taking precautions because of the last time the vice principal was left to run the school?

rewatched the episode to see brennan’s exact wording:

“Obliviati Mori is a precept that binds deities to not evangelise or even speak of fallen deities to mortals. In other words, it’s written out as a precept that basically, if a god succumbs to some form of death, they become archfey, they become a demon or a celestial rather than a full deity, if they only have a few dozen followers and another god kills them and they don’t have the strength to withstand that, or if literally, in the most extreme cases, their name is fully forgotten, other deities are not allowed to effectively remind mortals of their existence.”

some people were saying that it’s only if the god’s name is fully forgotten that obliviati mori comes into play but his wording here says otherwise. he lists a bunch of stuff that would cause it to come into play and says OR in extreme cases like their name being forgotten so i don’t think it’s ONLY if their name is fully forgotten

HOWEVER, i do think i was wrong in the original post, because brennan also said later on that just like any rule, obliviati mori has loopholes right? obliviati mori only prevents deities from REMINDING mortals about dead deities/beings who are no longer deities so the being who showed kristen YES(!?) was allowed to do that because it wasn’t “reminding” kristen of YES(!?) because she still remembered it. whereas it wouldn’t have been allowed to do that with someone who had forgotten YES(!?) because it would have classed as “reminding” them. if that makes sense? (this also applies to cassandra as she has mentioned YES(!?) to kristen multiple times)

TLDR: so, even though YES(!?) did succumb to “some form of death”, causing obliviati mori to come into effect, deities can still mention YES(!?) to mortals that remember it, as it doesn’t count as them “reminding” the mortals of its existence, meaning they aren’t breaking obliviati mori via a loophole/technicality. they cannot mention YES(!?) to mortals who have forgotten YES(!?) and if YES(!?) became an extreme case where it was fully forgotten then deities would not be able to mention YES(!?) AT ALL to mortals. so yeah i was wrong LOL

wait so obliviati mori means that whoever showed kristen the dead body of yes is either not a god or is a god that is breaking that law right??

This show is wild.

imagine you go to a party where the main drink is milk spiked with vodka, and a buff lesbian, who just did the sickest jump you've ever seen in your life and is now dressed like a cowboy with neck tattoos, saddles up to you, starts talking about fetty wap and then asks for you to vote for her for president

[unlicensedprivateinvestigator]

The fact that Kristen went "I'm surrounded by women with dog names" when her first girlfriend is a werewolf named "Tracker" will never cease to crack me up

[unlicensedprivateinvestigator]

I have always loved the paladin!riz headcanons regardless, but this season actually sets up SUCH a funny reasoning for it,,

please, just, riz multiclassing as a paladin of cassandra just so kristen will fucking pass

Shoutout to the person on Twitter who pointed out that the members of the Rat Grinders we’ve seen so far have aspects of “controversial” dnd player stereotypes

Kipperlily is a rules lawyer (passed the school year on a technicality)

The kobold barbarian girl is the power gamer that doesn’t like to RP

The emo bard guy is an edgelord

I can’t wait to meet the other members

I get why the real-life players are mad about the Rat Grinders doing power leveling -- like, that's fucking annoying. I get it.

But I love Riz's anger about it. I need more of that, to be honest. What do you mean, he's had to save the world 3 times and he's maybe 17? What do you mean, his friends have died in front of him over and over? What do you mean, after all of that, it's still not enough to keep his mom from worrying about his future? What do you fucking mean???

Gorthalax said that the fucking Rat Grinders have killed like 80,000 rats. At 10XP a pop, that's 800,000 XP just for the rats. Which puts them at, like, level 12 or 13 or something when you divide it up.

They didn't have to die or watch their friends die. They weren't kidnapped by a mirror person or confronted with watching their parents be interrogated in hell. They got to go into the forest after school for hours and kill tiny forest creatures over and over.

It didn't have to be this way. None of this had to happen. They got a fuck ton of trauma (that they're only vaguely dealing with, really, if that) and pain and time spent away from their loved ones and birthdays missed and none of it had to happen.

So yeah, fuck the Rat Grinders. But, more than that, fuck the whole fucking thing.

Riz and Jawbone duo goes hard. The most repressed boy in the world who's high functioning enough to mask his myriad mental issues to everyone including himself + the most emotionally receptive and open man in the world who looks and talks like he should be falling apart but is genuinely in a really good place and loves to help people. Lock them in a room together for 12 hours please I want to see if Jawbone can make Riz crack or if Riz shoots him with his gun

for the past month i’ve been watching a crown of candy and i don’t think i’ve ever cried this much at a piece of media Ever

zac oyama, 5 years ago: haha wouldnt it be funny if a half-orc was raised by gnomes

all of us, now, weeping: gorgug........ he's too gentle for the barbarians but too big and clumsy for artificing... his teacher told him that he has to choose one or the other... fabian is having a great time multiclassing and embracing both parts of his heritage while gorgug has to fight and struggle... his parents and his friends support him but there is a part of him that knows he will never truly fit in.

brennan reintroducing the bad kids with genuine titles they hold in canon like “archdevil” “captain of the owlbears” & “risen saint” but adding “holder of the tin flower” to gorgug’s intro because of how gorgug offering his tin flower to fabian, even after they fought, so effectively represents the type of person gorgug is (a kind one).

[unlicensedprivateinvestigator]

the look of uncomprehending self-consciousness on gorgug's face as porter talks about how he doesn't see "a deep well of rage" in gorgug in class makes me feel sick because there's something so neurodivergent coded about gorgug's way of being a barbarian. his whole "i go into a worry". the way he talks about using his artificing to boost his jumps. the way he uses zelda's playlist to zone out during the prom fight. it really reminds me of being a kid and finding a way of doing things that works for me and my brain and being told i shouldn't do it that way because that's not the normal way of doing things, that it's not the correct way, the way everyone else does it. being barred from something that's good for you academically and emotionally because it's unconventional. i feel sick.
