“I miss my wife” I say into the void about like 10 different fictional characters
I need to be passed around the older windriders like a blunt. send post.
The remaining Bad Kids having no clue what to do with all of the pictures, messages, recordings they had stashed away for Adaine to find after each of them passes away, when Adaine inevitably dies first.
They can’t throw them away because they’re memories, reminders of their lost friend, but keeping them around is making everyone miserable. Every time someone stumbles upon one they’re reminded of how they failed their friend.
These tokens that were meant to help work through grief, were meant to offer comfort and show Adaine how much they love her, now actively causing pain, worsening the grief, intensifying the already huge amount of guilt everyone is feeling.
la contesse madelaine d'artois is by far the most rizzed up PC in all of dimension 20. and i realize some of this is because she is a vampire who has Magical Beauty and Allure but also thats just siobhan thompson's game.
I think it was Rose that said “they know much more about us than we about them” while talking to Mary about their servants and I can’t stop thinking about how untrue that is when it comes to Mary and Anna.
Mary knows just as much about Anna’s troubles as Anna does about hers. Not because Anna is unusually chatty, but because Mary notices when something is wrong and asks Anna about it. And when Anna tries to stay proper and distant, she doesn’t give up and reassures her that she wants to know.
Mary wants to know because she cares, because she wants to, needs to be able to help her. She cannot bear to see Anna unhappy and needs to do everything in her power to make sure she can hear her laugh again.
The same goes for when Anna is happier than usual, or when a smile returns to her face after a period of sadness. Mary asks her what is going on, because she wants to know what’s making Anna smile, because she cares about what brings her joy.
Mary knows Anna just as well as Anna knows Mary, because Mary has put in the time and effort to get to know Anna, never gave up on trying to figure what was going on, and was always ready to help.
A new (lazy) edit
I fear another one of my old hyperfixations is worming its way back into my brain…
I feel like a foursome with Van, Monty, and Wealwell would fix me…
I got to witness Megan Hilty and Jinkx perform less than 24 hours apart… I have been forever changed and will simply never recover…
levels of mutualship :
the closest thing to real soulmates you can find
we fought in the same trenches and have a warrior's bond that carries over into every stage of life
friend i sit next to in every class and pass notes to/whisper to constantly
academic peer/colleague that i respect and have a little intellectual crush on
neighbour in the same apartment block that i say hi to on the stairs
neighbour across the street who i wave at every morning and evening
we're regulars at the same bar
i can't even remember who you are but if you weren't here there would be something fundamental missing
Rewatching a wicked slime tutorial and goddamn the obsession is coming back-
Ayda and Adaine hit the hallmarks!
don't get me wrong if there are no figayda defenders then i am dead but equally important to me is the fact that adaine was the one who reached out to ayda in the first place. from the very first moment, while the other bad kids were either unsure if ayda was even a person or if she was a bird or something else altogether, while they were making jokes, adaine was the one emphasizing ayda's personhood and acknowledging her as an individual deserving of respect. minute one, adaine has clocked ayda's deal and is completely on the level with her.
like, just to break down their interactions solely from the episode where they meet (2x07):
Adaine: Oh yes, I have a piece of paper.
Ayda: Why, are you bragging? I have many slips of paper.
Adaine: It's a specific piece of paper with a letter from Garthy on it.
> speaks too vaguely, sees that ayda did not understand her meaning, and immediately clarifies with specific language, without being glib or making a joke out of ayda's response
Ayda: Do you give this as a gift or as a message?
Adaine: I give it as a message. I would never give you a gift, you've made it clear that you do not want one.
> heard ayda's clearly expressed opinion on gifts and took her at face value, once again without any hint of mockery
Ayda: I wish for no gifts.
Adaine: But if you would like to buy this message off of me, you're more than welcome to.
> reframes the offering of the message as a transaction to eliminate any concern ayda may have about putting herself in debt, something she'd just expressly communicated she did not desire to do
jump to:
Adaine: I can teach you a spell if you teach me a spell. Then the transaction is clear.
> says in no uncertain terms what the transaction is. she is communicating on ayda's terms.
jump to:
Adaine: We can hang out if you like.
Ayda: What?
Adaine: I don't have any wizard friends.
Ayda: Why? [...] Are you hard to be around?
Adaine: No, I, no? Are you hard to be around?
Ayda: Yes.
> you just know ayda is repeating back words she has been told.
Adaine: Oh, do you want a friend?
Ayda: (pauses, intense stare) Desperately.
> this entire exchange is spoken in clear words and without subtext. adaine says what she wants and why she wants it. she is not put off by ayda. she doesn't find ayda hard to be around, but she also doesn't say anything to give ayda something to argue against. on the heels of ayda saying she's hard to be around, adaine asks anyway, "do you want a friend?" which communicates (1) the answer to whether or not you're hard to be around does not in any way modify my desire to be your friend, but also (2) i don't want to force friendship on you so i will ask you a clearer question: do you want a friend?
Adaine: I'll be your friend. Would you like to hold my frog? It's not a gift.
> "i'll be your friend" = adaine clarifying the result of the preceding line of questioning. "do you want a friend" could be taken by ayda to mean that adaine will present her with some third party friend, and adaine puts that to rest: she will be the friend. also doesn't assume ayda will remember adaine's earlier words or generalize her earlier sentiment of never offering ayda an unwanted gift; this is a new situation and conversation so adaine simply repeats her promise
Ayda: What level spell is this?
Adaine: Oh, it's just Find Familiar, it's—
Ayda: How?
Adaine: I can teach you it. It'll cost you 50 gold per level.
Ayda: (laughs screechingly) Very good.
> friendship notwithstanding, adaine does not assume that the transaction of spells for money is negated, but suggests it in such a way that ayda laughs, potentially sensing that adaine has created an inside joke for them, and potentially not being on the inside of too many of those.
all of this is FIRST MEETING. and the difference between how the other bad kids interact with ayda vs how adaine interacts with her in this episode is so stark. when adaine learns that they're both divination wizards, she is genuinely delighted. she thinks ayda is cool from basically their first interaction. adaine doesn't have any wizard friends!! and she's respectful towards ayda and meets her where she's at without any hesitation or difficulty. day one ride or die.
brennan likes to say that fig was the one who brought ayda out of side quest territory and into the main story, but it was adaine who extended the offer/request for friendship, it was adaine who reached out when she needed help at the row & the ruction, and it was adaine whom ayda immediately dropped everything to go and rescue the moment she knew adaine was in trouble. fig was an incredible friend and eventual partner for ayda, but adaine was ayda's first friend, the hand that reached out and grasped ayda to bring her into the bad kids fold in the first place, and nobody better forget it.

I agree with the posts that say “Adaine will probably die first”, and I would like to add my thoughts about how unprepared the Bad Kids would be for this and the guilt everyone (especially Kristen and Fig) would feel.
Adaine 100% dies in battle, the way she fights, always gives herself fully, getting up in there, it’s only a matter of time before death catches up with her. And when it does, the Bad Kids, who have foiled death so many times, who previously almost seemed invincible, now have to cope with the fact that they can’t outrun death forever.
I also fully believe that they prepared themselves for everyone’s but Adaine’s death. In fact, it’s one of my headcanons that most of them prepared things for Adaine, wrote little notes for her to read after they passed, left memories in the form of photographs, recorded messages for her to listen to, under the assumption that she would outlive all of them, and they didn’t want her to feel alone, wanted to help her with her grief, even when they were no longer there.
And then she dies first… no one is really prepared for that, no one thought it was possible, she’s a high elf, the people’s oracle, she’s immortal… she was supposed to be the one carrying the burden of outliving her friends… and now they don’t know what to do with themselves.
Then there’s the extra guilt of ‘letting’ her die. Kristen, who has been revivifying so many people, failing when it mattered so much. Her and Fig beating themselves up for not throwing Adaine more heals during the combat, too confident in their ability to escape death, to help their friends escape death, and it has bitten them in the ass. Gorgug blaming himself for not tanking more damage. Him, Fabian, and Riz beating themselves up for not killing the people that dealt the final blow, quicker.
And then there is of course the bitter irony that Adaine herself would have said that she should have seen this coming and should have been able to prevent her own death… and no one admits it but deep down they blame her just the tiniest bit for not seeing it, they can’t help but be a little angry at her for it. They all beat themselves up for feeling this way constantly… but they can’t help but remember what Adaine said in freshman year, when she found out about the oracle being in a shipwreck…
These feelings definitely don’t help with the already massive amount of guilt they experience.
Dating as a trans man pre-t is nearly impossible bc apparently no one wants a weak, fat, autistic t-boy switch, with huge titties, and barely any facial hair, who will let you boss him around during the day…
Look… do I know she’s playing a kid? Yes. Will it stop me from imagining this is Van Chapman? No.
This was so much fun to watch, but I also couldn’t help but think of Cloudward, Ho the entire time… I fear that campaign will never release its grip on me
