being a fan of actual play ttrpg shows is lowkey sort of humiliating. Like yes this middle aged father of two sat at a table and pretended to be a wizard so good that I cried. I am normal btw

Trent yanking off the helmet like 'who's this badass motherfucker who almost smoked my ass' and its the nerd he's been bullying for weeks

logically i know what trent did to turn eadwulf into the giant bird as a classic dnd tactic was probably just a simple polymorph which is usually not such a big deal in gameplay

however the implications of him just forcibly transforming his student into a form that best suits him whenever he pleases leaves the vilest most acrid taste in my mouth (delightful! i love it!) There's SO much weight behind that one spell

its just these little moments like this (and like the way he was so eager to speak to bren over the sending stone and reassure him he was his favorite while his other students are literally three feet behind him,,,) even with how vile they made this man from the very opening scene we're introduced to him in, its all these little choices that just cement it so clearly and expand on all the tiny facets of the extent of his abuse

I love how the Mighty Nein’s plan hinged on the assumption that Trent would freak the fuck out at the sight of Caleb.

Their whole plan relied solely on Trent being so terrified of Caleb that he immediately orders the beacon locked away in the vault. He’s so sure Caleb is going to successfully steal this thing in front of a hundred part goers. At just a few vaguely threatening sentences and one intimidating look from across the room.

And then it works.

We always see how Caleb is haunted by Trent but this episode was a reminder that it’s also the other way around. If Trent was so sure in his ability to beat/manipulate Caleb, he wouldn’t have his the Beacon away.

It's critical (heh) to me that Caleb must NEVER be cool. The way Liam played him always walked the perfect tightrope of being this apocalyptically dark and fucked up character but also never allowing him to tip over into being edgy by constantly reminding us that he is above all else a wimpy nerd who probably got stuffed in his locker by jocks every single day at the Soltryce Academy.

My mum said I had to go to the cult meetings. I said no mum I’m not going to your cult meetings I believe in string theory and eyeliner. But she said no Essek you have to go to go to the cult meeting you are 120 and she said other things about her stupid cult it’s so stupid. So anyway I went to the cult meeting but I pulled up my draw string hoodie and stood in the corner away from these posers. These preps. And I read my band copy of Kepler’s Laws because planetary motion understands me and my mum’s cult doesn’t.

[crackskunk]

My mum has schizophrenia. She says ‘Essek I am not taking olanzapine’ and then she starts confusing me with her dead lesbian lover from her previous non schizophrenic life. I tell her ‘your God is fake and capital punishment is real.’ She slaps me because her cult is feeding her LSD. There is a portrait on the wall from when she took me to the black parade. I am going give the nuclear codes to the CIA. Because Trent Ikithon understands me and my mum’s schizophrenia doesn’t.

for ten years astrid and eadwulf are like yeah we got over our deserter mentally ill hot poly ex boyfriend and then caleb pulls up with his wet dirty cat swag and looks up at them from below where he's tied up on his knees in his dirty coat with his stabble and his messy red hair and both of them just think Fuck

[neinofthem]

do you think they gave verin a courtesy call or is it going to be really awkward when he comes home on leave.
