Bless you all for your mountains of Fjord meta after this episode. my soul thrives. i’d like to add one more thing.
In Travis’s Between the Sheets, he told Brian that he was initially proud of the fact that Grog was the only one who didn’t cry last campaign. But when he thought about how he watched his friends learn about themselves and work through their own issues through the game, he realized that he might have missed out on something really special. So he decided that this time Fjord would be personal, that he would carry some of Travis in him, so he could maybe experience some of what, say, Laura and Liam did.
He also talked about his dad. How he was “larger than life.” How he could command rooms just by walking in. How he could make anyone laugh. How he died when Travis was a teenager, and how Travis decided to emulate his personality so he could make people feel the way his dad made people feel.
Idek why this means so much to me, but it’s all I’ve been thinking about and I feel like this adds a whole new layer to who we watched Fjord become this episode. It isn’t just Fjord baring his true self to the party; Travis is showing us himself, too, maybe for the first time since molly died?????? which makes the party's reaction even more wholesome on a meta level???? in case you needed MORE reasons to cry about how close Travis/Fjord got to crying yesterday
