DID YOU KNOW that sometimes characters lie. out loud to others and internally to themselves, and it'll happen right there on the page. other times they are just flat out wrong and don't know it. oftentimes they don't ever find that out. a sizable portion of any story is decidedly not cold hard fact.

The whole "Primus asking Wick to kill someone was supposed to be a way of giving Sam agency in Wick's death" thing really does highlight what a fascinating medium actual play is. Like, Sam and Brennan clearly collaborate very well. And have done great work together both in C4 and Calamity (and possibly other places I haven't watched yet). But it highlights such a stark difference in their storytelling instincts for Brennan to be like "ah yes, a chance for this heroic, good person character to get a heroic death" and Sam to go "nope, time for my character who's trying to figure out what being a good person means without the structure of his religion to make a harsh choice." And the fact that they don't have to come to a compromise, that Brennan offers Sam a choice to respond to, and then Sam makes a choice Brennan will have to respond to is so cool! It's definitely something that can cause problems; if a DM and player really aren't on the same page about how to tell a story, the story risks falling apart. But most versions of collaboration on art would require the two of them to find a compromise on their instinct before presenting it to an audience. And actual play instead allows us to see how storytellers respond to each other's instincts. I've said it before, I'll say it again: a major part of the appeal of actual play is that we aren't just watching a story, but watching the process of telling a story. And this was such a fun example of that

Love the moments in Xena: Warrior Princess where the music swells and Xena says something like “Gabrielle, stay back. This is Menthos, god of brain aneurisms” and the camera cuts to, and I cannot stress this enough, Literally Just Some Guy From New Zealand

The most chilling thing about Primus saying that he sees no utility in commoners is that I absolutely believe that it's not only true, but also a guiding principle of his goals. In his perfect world, commoners have been wiped out, pressed into mindless servitude in death to toil on behalf of his imperial family's needs while bolstering their arcane power simply through their existence, which in his eyes is, considering his daughters' differences in opinion and the knowledge that he is relatively cash and land poor compared to the rest of the houses, the only power that means anything, and therefore the only power worth caring about. We see it also in his pursuit of every soul in death—the Drowned Men take great pains to evade this subjugation, and it is a point of frustration that Thjazi, a man who, with no detours in mind, would've likely walked the Old Path, has escaped their purview. If there is no utility in commoners for Primus—something that even Tansul seems not to have believed—it is because a population of the dead is utterly more under his control than can be said about the living. That this subjugation would be absolute and inescapable is wholly the point—I would venture to guess that in Primus's eyes, the Shapers greatest mistake was allowing for their subjects the capacity to have their own wills, which was the reason in the end that they were destroyed. Can the dead, once enslaved by the house of death, rebel?

The other noble houses, on the other hand, are worth something alive, of course, not only because this kind of absolute control would likely be less sweet without at least a few willing subjects, but also because the other thing Primus does seem to care about is the proliferation of his own house. We see this in the knowledge that without heirs on the horizon, Petra and Ryah have been passed over as prime inheritors, and the idea that House Royce is expendable and unworthy; given his concerns about his mundane son, Primus likely only cares about ensuring his descendants retain this arcane might that he believes necessary to rule.

The world that House Tachonis strives for is one in which life is only worth anything if it empowers their house alone. Thus far we know the most about the circumstances of the peoples shaped by three gods: Tansul, Azgra, and Sylandri, and Primus's aims echo each one in some way. Tansul, his own house's former master, is the obvious, in his imperial goals. Given the literal army of the dead that he is said to be amassing, this is his echo of Azgra. Yet the potential of this plan mirrors Sylandri's measure of control perhaps most acutely of all; the dead, in their impotence—their lack of will and inability to proliferate themselves—would be subjects that could be only what their rulers wish them to be. But where the goddess of life, such as she was, never withheld her people's will, a lord of the dead in this manner would correct her only mistake.

being very precise with my gif timing here, the captions are exactly where they should be, bc i need to illustrate something i haven't stopped thinking about

which is that alex/occtis (and only him) clocked the exact word that was gonna kill hannan before brennan switched characters to primus
