The difference of density of events between the tables continues to be absolutely hilarious to me tbh

Soldiers: it's been nine days and we killed that one guy

Seekers: it's been nine days and we uncovered that potential ritual, and also learned the golden orchard was destroyed

Schemers: it's been nine days and the part where we raised an army is literally a fucking footnote

When I finally got medicated for ADHD, I asked why insomnia was such a problem for me.

The doctor paused, and then said, thoughtfully: "Well, you see, you also have ADHD at night."

The problem with 'Padmé not despising Anakin for the Tuskan Massacre/reporting him to the scops (space cops), etc is out of character' is that Padmé also asks Anakin to run away with her after finding out what he did to the Jedi. She's consistent with the idea that Anakin is not defined by his worst deeds and that he can be saved.

I think it's more rewarding to think about how and why Padmé thinks that than dismissing it as out of character and that Queen Amidala is her whole characterisation.

**Parade of Horribles spoilers ahead**

It's fascinating how many analogs the Dungeon has for the Eulogist: Soul Crystals are the most obvious (collecting and storing the souls of the dead to power things), but the Ring of Divine Suffering works similarly too (capturing the "essence" of someone and making that part of you), and the Scavenger's Kiss (capturing the essence of the dead to power an attack)

It's also very interesting that all of these are considered corrupting/corruptible (Soul Crystals can overload, the ring can make you sick in a way you can't heal from, Scavenger's Kiss has escalating poisoning effects etc etc)

Especially when you turn the comparison back around and look at the Eulogist from the perspective of what the Syndicate has been putting into it for 20,000 years

How overloaded is the Eulogist with dead Crawlers, how close is it to exploding? What's the soul poisoning like when you're full up on what, 80 billionish Crawler souls? The Eulogist was meant to shrink into singularity over time but it's been bloated to bursting by the Syndicate shoving entire planets of the dead into it, regularly!

At this point I'm convinced that Carl's Doomsday Scenario isn't the bomb in his inventory, it's the Eulogist. You know, the thing sitting in the dead middle of Syndicate territory, where members of the Syndicate (who can afford to) are going to run as Dungeon Gods start appearing and creating havoc?

Wonder if the AI can't get into the center system then or it it's making a big ol' trap.

Anyway I think the Syndicate has been feeding into a system for countless generations that is going to backfire spectacularly

"i dont know why i go on. i wish i hadnt chosen this body. i shouldve remained true to myself. we all die anyway. how can we make it to heaven if god doesnt recognise us" dungeon crawler carl is crazy becaust were literally just making foot fetish jokes like a chapter ago. these books will make you read about the most depressing snd grotesque fates imaginable for characters, make you have an existential crisis and then within 10 pages go back to making fun of carl for not having any pants. i love it. absolute absurdity

Welcome to my extremely niche post I like to call:

Casting the Intrepid Heros as Dungeon Crawler Carl characters

Warning: slight spoilers for Dungeon Crawler Carl ahead

Emily as Samantha

this is the first idea that came to me because I saw a clip of Emily as Sundry Sidney and said "wait a minute..."

I feel like she could just perfectly capture her vibe

crazy but also crazy powerful just fits so well for Emily

Murph as Carl

I feel like this is a classic Murph character

he has the "no no we need to be reasonable and practical and find loopholes and not get everyone killed, and goddamit donut what are you doing, and ugh I need the AI to stop talking about my feet" but also the "lets do this crazy batshit plan that may kill me and everyone else on this floor but also could be the one thing that saves everyone and fucks over the system" energy needed to play Carl

Ally as Louis

I don't think I need to explain this one

no but seriously Louis is such a Beardsley character

like, some guy from Florida who sawed the top off his moms van just cause, flies around in a balloon house, just says whatever the fuck comes to his mind, married to a changeling NPC warlord (divorce pending), has a deity stuck in a sex doll head obsessed with him? that's a Beardsely character if I've ever seen one

Siobhan as Donut

yes Donut is british. does this make sense? not really but it doesn't matter cause she's a talking cat

really feel like Siobhan could match Donut's energy to a tee

bitchy but also struggling and trying her best but also a bit immature but also way smarter than anyone gives her credit for?

yeah Siobhan would just body this

Zac as Elle

listen.

something about Zac and the characters he plays really just give me "old lady but not old anymore and filled with a new spice for life but she's trapped in a death dungeon"

I was struggling to come up with this one but I really think Zac fits Elle

Lou as Chris/Florin

Lou has stated he only plays black chacters, but also I feel like both of them just fit his vibe

I really like the idea of Lou as Florin and what he could do with him as a character

but also

LOU AS CHRIS WOULD BE SO GOOD

basically the equal angst and badass energy of both these characters feels so Lou to me

BONUS I know Brennan would be like... everyone else, but some characters I think he would particularly be amazing playing include:

Mordecai

Odette

Katia

Zev

Imani

Mongo

Thank you for being a part of my ramblings.

EPITOME TAGG’S SEXY MOTHER: “I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO ME, LOUIS. MY HAND IS STUCK IN THE WASHING MACHINE. WILL YOU COME HELP ME?”

Epitome Tagg: Change your name back this instant! ... You puerile, disgusting mongrel. How dare you? How fucking dare you? I will starve out all of your kind!

EPITOME TAGG’S SEXY MOTHER: HOW DARE ME? HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME LIKE THAT? ON THIS, THE DAY OF MY GRANDCHILD’S BIRTH? YOU DARE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT LEVEL I AM?

Epitome Tagg: CHANGE THAT NAME NOW.

EPITOME TAGG’S SEXY MOTHER: UH, TIME OUT. IT’S TELLING ME I CAN’T DO ANY MORE NAME CHANGES UNTIL TOMORROW. SERIOUSLY. I THINK I’M STUCK WITH THIS NAME NOW.

“Oh my god. Look, man,” he said, suddenly serious. There was something else there, something I’d never seen from the large man. Anger. He had tears in his eyes. The sight was so shocking, I took a literal step back.

“You think I don’t know? That last party sucked, man. My best friend died. And after today... Imani’s squad doesn’t have a key. Tserendolgor doesn’t have a key. Lots of squads don’t. I’m not stupid. None of us are. We all know what happens next. It’s going to be terrible, and some of us are going to die. And if we survive? We go down to the next floor, and we do it all over again.

I have a whole, entire army of elves who want to kill me on the ninth floor. Britney can’t stop crying. Tran just watched a memory of his own mother tell him he’s not welcome home anymore. Katia is struggling every day, and Bautista is having a nervous breakdown. And every time I look at you, I get scared that you’re going to go insane and kill everybody in the room because your eyes are getting wilder and wilder by the day.” He lifted a shaking finger and pointed it into my chest.

“But not tonight. None of that is going to matter tonight. I don’t care what you say or what you think. I don’t care what day it really is. Tonight it's fucking Christmas, and we are going to have fun and drink some goddamned eggnog and open presents."

i think one of my personal favorite aspects of the dungeon crawler carl series is watching Carl, a cishet dude, avoid any sexual or romantic subplots with the deftness of a trained aroace.
