I love “Pain doesn't make people; it's love that makes people. The pain is inconsequential; it's love that saves them.” It’s an amazing moment. It was important that Caduceus said it. It was an important answer to Trent, to all the people who claim that pain builds character and is helpful, or even necessarily for growth. It’s important to speak against that mindset, against the abuse that Trent perpetuated in the name of the greater good.

But.

Taliesin is playing Ashton now. And everything hurts. Always. And there is pain, and there is strength. There is strength, and there is pain. And the pain is not “inconsequential.” It is invisible, but it is pervasive. It matters.

And though I don’t think Caduceus would ever call Ashton’s pain inconsequential (he was definitely using that word specifically in reference to Trent’s claims that abuse and pain made Caleb a great wizard,) Cad’s rarely comfortable sitting with pain—his own or others. Cad is a healer, after all. A gardener and a comforter of mourners. Love saves people, and Caduceus embodies that.

But I think it’s significant that now, Taliesin is playing a character with chronic pain. Pain that no words or magic can soothe. Pain that—though it doesn’t make them better or stronger—is an undeniable part of who he is.

The pain is not inconsequential.

Marion Lavorre was forced to face her phobia in probably the most terrifying way possible…  she fought through it, made it to the tower and calmed down for a bit… only to be teleported to an even potentially unsafer place in some random presumably fire-y plane.

This woman is the strongest and bravest person in D&D right now.

Enemies Vox Machina knew of by ep 31: the Briarwoods, Anna Ripley, and one pissed off rakshasa Enemies the Mighty Nein knew of by ep 31: Trent Ikithon and the Cerberus Assembly (unbeknownst to him and them) Enemies Bells Hells know of by ep 31: Armand Treshi, Otohan Thull and the Paragon’s Call (unbeknownst to her and them), the Grey Assassins, the Shade Mother, the Nightmare King, the entire Unseelie Court, Ludinus Da’Leth (unbeknownst to him), a shady ass changeling named Yu, some guy named Ultgar, a toymaker in the Heartmoor, a bird named Shithead, kinda Delilah Briarwood…

yeah I know they obviously haven’t had time to take down the whole assembly yet but I just think it’s funny

I love looking for Vex’ahlia and Percival whenever a certain Lady starts talking.

At any given time, there are no less then a dozen rumours and two dozen tales surrounding Professor Widogast of the Soltryce Academy.  He’s secretly an archmage who not so secretly tells the Cerberus Assembly to fuck off every other week or so.  He once dated Archmage Becke when they were schoolmates together and lived to tell the tale.  Every cat wandering the school halls (of which there are a sudden and inexplicable number) is actually a polymorphed Professor Widogast.  He used to work as a mercenary, and fought cults.  The cat napping in his office is also a polymorphed Professor Widogast.  He learned dunamancy by seducing a high-level Dynasty spy.  He writes Zemnian fairy tales in his spare time.  He used to be a Volstrucker and may or may not have assassinated Archmage DeRogna.  He spends his weekends fighting gods.  He invented golf.  He’s got a perfect memory and can recite your assignment back to you word for word if you question his grading.  He and Volstrucker Grieve were sharing spell books in the library’s Restricted Section last week.  He’s met King Dwendal.  He once stopped a war.  He moonlights as a pirate.  He’s actually a werewolf.

If you actually ask Professor Widogast about any of the stories, he’ll look at you with an uncomprehending expression and deny everything before throwing in an off-hand comment about the current phase of the moon.

(The silver beer stein sitting prominently on a shelf in his office was Beau and Fjord’s idea, although Caduceus was the one who suggested the wolf design.  Certain people’s complaints that he could at least be a were-cat were unanimously shot down)

((It’s possible that 90% of the rumours and stories surrounding Professor Widogast at any given time were started or shamelessly encouraged by various members of the Mighty Nein.  Veth was exceedingly proud to discover that the collective student body and faculty had already voted her boy Hottest Professor eight years running))

(((Astrid and Eadwulf take turns submitting his name every year.  He’s always looked so pretty when he blushes, and it’s not like it isn’t true)))

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

[eatsleepcrap]

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

[the-brave-little-blogger]

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it.

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

[the-neon-pineapple]

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

[perks-of-being-chinese]

woah.

[panicrobot]

it got better

[twistedthicket1-deactivated2022]

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

[ofthefantastic]

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

[venatrix26]

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

[apocryphalstories]

I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when I see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their best friend, I realize that even though I like being alone, I don’t fancy being lonely.
