with the RARE ass chance that anyone is ever gonna come back and see this, i moved werblund to my multi @forwardmoved

[daughterdedicated-blog]

OKAY SO,,, let’s talk about yesterday’s episode, shall we? pardon me for being ALL OVER the fucking place, but i have some Thoughts

just in general, like... right off the bat, i think that it would be safe to say that this was a very, very stressful episode for werblund in particular and of course i’m going to focus in on that bitch bc i love him so much and i think that this episode showcased a lot as to what exactly is going on in werblund’s head, about the whole situations and the current dynamics.

and i’m especially talking about the trust issues bc !!! oh boy !! was anyone else hurting !! when werblund straight up said that he felt that he couldn’t even trust KOVACS anymore bc i !!! am still dead !!!

like it’s so hard to explain bc werblund isn’t dependent on kovacs, but i think it’s safe to say that werblund found himself trusting him rather quickly and that plays into the whole fact that he hasn’t trusted anyone in YEARS after what happened to his company and his family ( i feel like this may be hinting that it was an inside job? altho i guess all your friends being slaughtered would make you feel cautious just in general ) and between the two, kovacs and werblund are the most focused and driven of all the others. they have a clear goal and they will do whatever it takes to get there, they both understand that, they both can trust each other. even when it was revealed that kovacs was STAYING in the creepy bone lair that the INSTANT reaction from werblund was that he didn’t like it, he didn’t trust that at all, but there kovacs was doing his own thing.

and i think that tags along with the fact that i just,,, don’t think anyone really realizes what all werblund does. i wouldn’t say that he is the most logical, i would say that kovacs definitely tops all them there. bc of course, werblund isn’t perfect, he is insanely driven by his emotions and from what we’ve seen, he is slowly fucking losing it beyond all measure. he gets shit done and he sure as hell is very smart, he is able to pick himself up after everything and devise a plan in a matter of seconds bc he knows what he is doing. he isn’t just the ranger of the team, he’s a vet merc and he has been following winkerbean for who knows how long.

he is willing to put his pride aside to get shit done, to realize when something isn’t working out or when he HAS to basically GROVEL at the other’s feet and lemme tell you that as sweet as the moment was that??? he got personal with the others for a few in order to take them to raid the ships??? that was REALLY FUCKING SAD LIKE???

he’s a broken record, you guys. time and time and TIME AGAIN he has repeated over and over that the only thing he wants in the entire fucking WORLD is his daughter back. he literally doesn’t !!! have anything else !!! he wants his daughter, he wants her safe and he wants her as soon as possible and when the others get off-track, he has to BEG to get them on his side. he has to PROVE that he would help them out, like he hasn’t said from the BEGINNING that he was willing to help anya and help any of the others if they needed him so long as they help HIM.

i think, again, that’s what makes his and kovacs’ relationship so sweet is because they really don’t have to repeat themselves, they implicitly trust each other and respect their wishes. kovacs hasn’t asked anything of werblund ONCE but i’m pretty sure that he knows that werblund would do whatever he wanted if he helped, meanwhile you have trixa doubting werblund and i mean YEAH i understand that it is an abandonment issue that trixa has to ask werblund if he was going to flee before agreeing to come with him and that’s ALSO SAD, but it shouldn’t be that way. werblund shouldn’t have to ask, but he literally has no other choice.

like this is not to say that he is a saint bc he ISN’T he has had his fair share of fuck-ups and tom foolery, i would bargain to say that he is the most morally fucked up out of them all bc he literally doesn’t care who he has to go through or how. and i think he knows that and is playing the victim card very, very strongly. but i don’t think that’s without reason bc... he has literally lost everything and after everything that the group as been through... we can see that he DOES fairly damn well all by himself and he’s just... roped in to these crazy antics that EVERYONE adores and i’m not saying people are WRONG for loving the funny moments of the show, but i think werblund as a character takes himself very seriously so naturally, he isn’t as goofy as the other characters and that’s fucking OKAY. it’s an anti-hero campaign, my friends, i think he definitely fits the theme

okay i know this is a lot and i need to wrap this the fuck up but i had thoughts and real quick i just wanted to talk about werblund and tala bc... y’all, like. werblund is SO FUCKING DESPERATE AND DERANGED to get his daughter back, that he straight up agreed to go on a date with tala and i don’t think that was the best move on his part bc... you know. he’s got major issues, we have no idea what his wife situation is like... and she’s an undead minotaur ABOMINATION. i really don’t think that the ship is going anywhere, not with his fucking attitude, but i think it was something of a sweet thing that happened to werblund. even if tala is literally going to be led on, if they go on this date of theirs bc i swear to god his daughter WILL be rescued or i will fucking kill someone, i think that at the very least is a moment of sanity in stark comparison to all of the others.

okay okay okay, that’s fucking all for me ! if y’all want me to scream more about him, pop into my ims or fucking send me some asks bc clearly... i can write for a fucking eternity !!!

[daughterdedicated-blog]

ah,,,, when people find werblund completely unenjoyable,,, i mean you are allowed to have your opinions of course ! but that makes me sad bc hmm it’s an anti-hero campaign, he is by no means justified for anything he does, and idk idk maybe it’s the fact that i’m weak and he is my son, ya feel ?

starting this very first session of d&d at least for me and... hm! it was interesting? i mean very, very slow bc it was on discord and strictly text because i wanted to learn the ropes fully without having to worry about like my anxiety talking with people. i think that... i def know MORE than i was giving myself credit for so i was trying to make more of an effort to actually like, push the story in a direction for those who completely had no clue, but. we’ll see, i guess.

    the kenku was scared of this. scared of hurting the children. they were his to protect now. until they were old enough to stretch their wings and fly away. at least snek was teaching them some things during his babysitting hours. “ i’m sorry if i’m doing bad at this. don’t got a lot of experience in being a father. or family in general. ”

        “you don’t have to apologize to me.” after all, those lizards that pluck was wrapped into taking care of weren’t his. now that would cause for more alarm, but that wasn’t the point. “i can tell that you don’t. but you’ve kept them alive and... somewhat happy? i can’t understand the bastards, but it looks like you’re doing just fine.”

[daughterdedicated-blog]

castsdarkness:

    the kenku wished he could not be her weird obsession. at least, her love seemed to be focused on that guy they’d met and not him. if she loved him he would just cast darkness and leave. nope, he would be out. “still insulting. but it’s working so i guess that’s something. it’s kind of hard when she won’t leave me alone.”

        at the very least, pluck seemed to be handling the so-called insults fairly well. there didn’t seem like they were going to be consequences, anyway. “it’s all we’ve got going for us. do you think... that it would makes things better or worse if you pretended she didn’t exist? you think it could be pulled off if we all did it?”

[daughterdedicated-blog]

sneksneked:

     “you like him more than me. you listen to him. clearly he best friend and anya just seen as evil when i just trying my BEST.” she wanted to be his best friend. but no one liked her. he was just being mean. “havenspere was attacking HIM. i just wanted to hurt so he would stop or fall unconscious.” the yuan-ti hadn’t meant for him to die and she did regret it. he had not done anything to warrant death and everyone hated her because of it. “good because i help you out of kindness of heart even if you stomp all over it!”

        “you need to stop trying altogether, that’s what you should be doing.” granted, she was handy in very rare cases, but the close calls they have had so far were almost embarrassing. “yeah, yeah... we get it! you’re the victim! you say all this but this never stops you from lighting up absolutely everything and anything we come across.” her specialty, so to speak, and he could only imagine the chaos that will happen when they finally go to get his daughter back. still, he had a little faith left in them. “no one’s asking you for the kindness of your heart. it’s business, get over it.”

[daughterdedicated-blog]

castsdarkness:

    anya was a mystery to them. sure, she presented like an open book but that book was terrifying at at a college reading level. lies wrapped into the truth so tight you’d never spot the difference. “i want her to give up on me! she keeps trying to swap my kids for shiny things.” which he kept turning down with a heavy heart. “it’s kinda hard not to take personally when you’re all wearing beaks and anya is practising bird squawks.” the final words of that spoken in a perfect mimicry of anya.

        all he could bring himself to do was shrug. in all honesty, there was a part that wished anya would back off for pluck’s sake, but the bigger part was thankful that her attention was directed somewhere that wasn’t him. “someday she’ll get the message... i think. who knows?” it was out of their hands, at the very least. “don’t lump the rest of us in the same category as anya, okay? it’s not like there were better ideas being thrown out there and now you need to stop letting her get to you.”

lostindrink:

     “i was hiding what i look like cause i look like an evil guy. i’ve got a very STRAHD face going on and i don’t wanna have to explain that to people.” stupid hair not turning back to blonde. nope, he was stuck with his black hair forever now. “and honestly? i just wanted to get a drink. you guys were the ones all up in my face asking who the fuck i was.” he rolled his eyes. “bards always pull shit like this. we’re the party class.”

        “as if having your hood up and refusing to give your name helps your case whatsoever.” not that he believed anything would come from arguing, but there was no denying they were relentless at the blame game despite this. “and i can respect that. i did respect that, anya was the one sticking her nose into everyone’s business as always, but you can’t blame me for being suspicious.” he couldn’t help but scoff at the party class comment. “sounds like mayhem, if you ask me.”

vibrates gently as more and more secrets and stories are starting to unravel and big oof bc it’s exciting !!

lostindrink:

    “all i’m getting is that you’re not willing to try.” some people didn’t appreciate his brutal honesty. also known as being an asshole. but he didn’t really care what liam gnomeson thought of him. this was probably a one off thing. or, a thing that wouldn’t happen often. “yeah, basically. best thing is to try and fuck up then have to ask. makes me look more suspicious if i ask, y’know?” the bard just wanted a drink and to find out about horse dude. “you’re welcome, dude.” great, his wine would be gone in a matter of minutes around these people. “you act like i’m not used to that. i’m a bard. it comes with the class. because boats don’t just leave out of here whenever they feel like? i’m stuck till the next one leaves.”

        “whatever.” to say the least, he couldn’t bring himself to grow more irritated at the other, more or less settling to ignore and move on. let him talk nonsense, it wasn’t his problem. “that... that doesn’t make any sense. if that was your plan all along, you had to know that you looked very suspicious from the start, right? and you wonder why we wouldn’t hand over the bracelets.” sure, the shenanigang hadn’t exactly gotten anything down with pure intentions themselves, but it was all that they had going for them and they weren’t going to let a stranger fuck it all up. “i’ve seen a lot of shit in my day, but i don’t think i’ve ever seen a bard pull what you have. and sure... maybe you’ve got a point, i’ll give you that.”

     “i trying to protect PLUCK, your…best friend!” was she trying to use that as an insult? kind of. she was just mad and saying anything at this point to throw blame. “i not know he about to die with one shot. i’m not DOCTOR.” she had been heart broken as well, werblund! another failure in her need to start a family. “someone will! someone who loves me and is not MEAN like PARTY. someone will help me kill those that killed my family like i help you find smaller you.” you mean his daughter, anya?

        “don’t go putting words into my mouth, anya, that is not what i said!” with obvious irritation, there was no point in denying that he was in fact insulted by the words. another point for the snake woman, he supposed “oh, really? you couldn’t have done anything else to help pluck besides attacking?” he knew the answer already, but he couldn’t wait to hear what kind of excuse she would come up with. not really. “then you should really change up your tactics,but what do i know? and listen, you may be on my list, but i do intend to keep my promise. to help you.”

[daughterdedicated-blog]

castsdarkness:

  pluck didn’t know either. she seemed obsessed with becoming his friend when he wanted nothing to do with that. she wanted to hurt animals and take his kids so she could create a master race. it was just wrong. she had KILLED havenspere! “i think it’s because i don’t want to be her friend. and we’re both kind of the odd one out in terms of species. though, you all seem quite happy to guess at mine.” could you hear the annoyance over that? good, he wanted it to be heard.

        now he knew that he couldn’t exactly refute anything that he was saying and it wasn’t as if anyone any time soon would be able to figure out exactly how any’a mind works. then again, he doesn’t think that he ever wants to know. “well, i think it would be fair to say that none of us want to be her friend, but she’s pretty much given up on the rest of us. don’t take it too personally, mate.” he knew that wasn’t so much of an apology and he couldn’t really bring himself to care all that much.

“dude.... you were inside of me.” paultin,,,,, honey,,,,,, no,,,,,,

[daughterdedicated-blog]

sneksneked:

    “i admit to killing havenspere. it was accident! i did not mean to kill. i try to PROTECT and he die.” she hated that she seemed to not get as much leeway as the others did. even stranger man got a pass in the end. “what does pluck do that i don’t? is it because he has children? because i have cult! cult of kids. but he would not do it! no one procreate master race with me.”

        “no, no, no. from what i heard, i was absolutely not an accident. don’t try to make it seem like your a damn hero when you’re not.” not that he expected her to ever own up to it, but tired attempts were all he got going for him at this point. “guess what? i couldn’t care less about his kids, but that is not what we’re talking about here! that was probably the smartest choice that the guy has made so far. no one wants to, stop getting us almost killed because of it.”

[daughterdedicated-blog]

sneksneked:

         “why? why you not like me? is it because of pluck? i know he don’t like me.” they all hate her for no reason. she tried to help and yet they hate her. she just wanted friends, a mate and a child. was that so wrong? “stranger talked lot of sense. you should listen to him.”

       “isn’t it obvious? right, you never hold yourself accountable for your actions. i remember. but don’t bring pluck into this, i like pluck more than you.” where he would normally have a problem admitting to this sort of thing, it was absolutely true in this case. “he didn’t talk any sense, so no, you just want him to procreate.”
