Broke: "Breaking the world" by attacking (engaging in a coup) a low militarized city-state, ruling for maybe half a decade, and then getting repeatedly bodied by some random chucklefucks, who werent even operating at full power, (cause the cleric who null and voids half your forces wasnt even there for half of it) curb stomps you. And even after being revived over and over by your loser god, you still manage to lose, repeatedly. Then the remaining one engages in a dramatic murder/suicide plot and doesnt even get the murder part right.

Woke: Bending time and space to your will in unproven spellwork that you both are making up by the seat of your pants all in an effort to give your friends a decent nights sleep to go fight your stupid possessed and/or dead friend who is currently cosplaying as a loser god.

the worst part is steve rogers WOULDN’T. he wouldn’t leave sam with the responsibility of the shield without being there to support him. he wouldn’t go back to a woman who died of old age, had her own life and told him to move on. he wouldn’t have ever, not even once, considered leaving bucky — aka his entire world wrapped up in one person — alone, especially after just getting him back. and he wouldn’t have decided that he’d fought the good fight enough and retire in suburbia in the decade epitomes for traditional values aka an antitheses to everything he stood for. the real steve rogers would legitimately hate the man marvel put on the screen in endgame. and yet. and yet

"maybe someday you'll get to meet some of them" caduceus is so good at slipping incredibly concerning sentiments into mundane sentences. he is so afraid for his family and he is also so afraid to address that

“Even as young as he had been, he had taken one look at a small life and seen not its suffering but its exuberance. See him, I begged the Ancestors. See him and find his life worth living. See all of him.”

frieren is about discovering what makes life worth living after you lost someone before you realized how you felt about them. dunmeshi is about how we are all animals in the end, and confronting the monstrous reality of consumption, in all its forms. witch hat is about how the technology that makes our society function could be used to make people’s lives better, but especially disabled people are left out, and those in power choose very specifically who actually benefits. how fitting that three of the most popular and poignant fantasy stories of the 2010s-2020s are about grief, consumption, and power.

its been said 1 billion times but veth really is just such a good character there is so much analysis to be done on her so many themes you could dissect and she is so flawed in such interesting and consistent ways that make sense with what she's been through. she's sooo good.

#you ever realise how fucking terrifying Caduceus can be??? #he’s this sweet pastel coloured cow man who’s like 100 years oldlived in a grave yard #lived in a graveyard #drank tea made from corpses #and decomposes bodies on the regular

I kind of love that given his gentle and relaxed attitude folk forget Caduceus is very much a Cleric of the Wildmother in a very practical sort of way.

When you hear nature goddess cleric and meet the chill guy in pastels drinking tea and loving mushrooms and lichen who is patient and taking care of the group with a sort of bemused air, it’s very easy to go crystal waving hippie sort and ignore everything else he says and does.

But he’s been very up front about who he is from the moment they met him. He’s been raised in a family of clerics and paladins that oversee a graveyard. His calling is putting people in the ground and ensuring they stay there. He drinks tea made from the plants grown on the graves of the dead.

When they first met him and expressed concern he wasn’t up for a quest that involved fighting and killing, he very frankly told them:

“Have you ever BEEN in nature? Yes. Violence is extremely natural.” - Caduceus Clay, Within the Nest (c2e028) “Well, I don’t know about deserve, but I think there’s always somewhere there’s a plant that needs some compost, and I’m happy to make some more if it’ll make people happy.” - Caduceus Clay, Within the Nest (c2e028)

The first few battles he was in, he cast decompose on every single enemy body to start turning them to mulch and mushrooms immediately after. No one that went up against him was ever getting back up again.

And when you gloss over that, you’re gonna get mentally clotheslined when he says things like:

“I serve nature. I’m a maker of fine graves.” - Caduceus Clay, A Pirate’s Life for Me (c2e041) “The only thing I’ve found that brings closure is when everyone’s finally in the ground. From my experience.” - Caduceus Clay, Dark Waters (c2e098) “I wish for you, in the future, to find someone to mourn you when you are gone. Respectfully.” - Caduceus Clay, Dinner with the Devil (c2e110) “I don’t know how to put this but we are currently on what is possibly the universe’s largest cadaver. This is what I was born to do, is to put this fucking thing down. Let’s end this shit.” - Caduceus Clay, Where There Is a Will… (c2e138)

And I adore that about Cad.
