I really like that at some point in bdw, and in eom, instead of putting the characters in the tumbnail they put these goofy cheerful pictures of themselves resulting in titles like "CROOKED TEMPLE AMBER HOUSE ALL CHILDREN WILL BE DEAD BY DAWN" and then its a picture of andy flexing his stupid bicep and the brightest smile ive ever fucking seen
I think one of my absolute favourite things about the Edge of Midnight campaign is how interconnected all their stories are, deliberately or otherwise. Each of the six have themes of their histories that allow them to understand and even resonate with the others and it creates such interesting moments of teamwork and camaraderie and comfort.
Spoilers for Avantris’ Edge of Midnight campaign below:
We get to see a lot of this very directly during the ritual beneath Keziah’s hut but moments like these are all throughout the campaign.
When Farryn is asking the others/Jericho whether they think she did the right thing, Jericho has zero hesitation in saying she did. Even after the reveal of how wrong it went. He of all of them understands the desperate willingness to do anything for love.
Though they stand on opposite sides of faith, it is Lethica and Marius who most understand the other’s devotion and the importance that their respective gods hold to them (even if Lethica’s is performative in a sense).
Yorgrim assures Jericho that he isn’t at pure fault for what happened to him. Of course Yorgrim would understand the pain and guilt of finding out you’d been used for evil by someone you thought you could trust.
Briggsy, though generally less eloquent or gentle than the others, does his best to give Marius some sense of solidarity about his current state. Briggsy knows what it feels like to lose your self to a trick, to lose what made you feel alive and real and worth a damn. How they got here were a set of vastly different circumstances, but in the end they’re the same: they’re both monsters, creatures of the night, left alive for way too long for a single mistake they made.
It’s just,,, the crew does such an incredible job showing the progression of the closeness between these folks and how their stories and troubles intertwine. They all share so much more in common than their ransom note appearance as a group would suggest. Plucked from places around Avantris so distant from each other, none had ever been to (or even heard of) the homelands of the others.
But here they are, fighting together and growing closer and forming, as self stated by a few of them, a sort of family. They’re as mismatched as could be yet overcame that through the similarities in the things they’ve endured. In the comfort they’ve offered each other. Every “you’re not the only one” and “we’re all in this together” symbolises that.
And it’s a dynamic I’m so so excited to see return once Neon Odyssey is wrapped up. Selfishly, I hope EoM comes back sooner rather than later. It’s the one campaign I miss so so dearly and need to see resumed.
this is my first actual post but i need more ppl to talk about this with... the crew just said on the new uproot-a-rama stream that their all excited to return to eom after all the neon odyssey campaigns are over and this makes me so hyped. I NEED MORE PPL TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS !! i miss them your honor..
I don’t think Lethica should “fix” Marius, but I do think she should be given 20 minutes alone in a room with the Duchess, unlimited spell slots, and a spiked baseball bat.
I know nikkie said lethica pulled her ticket for the ghostlight express out of a pocket on her person but frankly it's canon to me that she pulled it out of her cleavage. have you ever fallen in love with a character so fast
“that character is already in a canon relationship”
Hey, so I actually don’t care. Shipping is genuinely the foundation of fandoms and a major reason why so many are still alive. It’s not all that crazy I, as well as so many, partake in it. I’m just over here shipping two characters I think have unmatched chemistry, and i’m hit with these “but they’re best friends”. Okay, yeah, they’re best friends, and I think they’re best friends that kiss. I see this type of hate all over tiktok and it’s so annoying. If you don’t like a ship, that’s fine, no one’s making you. But, if you’re hating on the concept of shipping in general, get over it. Let me ship my characters that hardly interact, it’s not hurting you.
PLEASE WRITE SOME LETHICA ANGST, IM FUCKING BEGGING YOU IM STARVING
if you have like, no idea's, or like, have an idea but dont know how to expand, you can ask me and ill use my autism brain powers to ramble for five paragraphs in any way my brain takes me
I know Coalecroux and Lethicus are already “effectively canon”, but that’s not enough for me. I need them to kiss. I need them to verbally admit to having romantic feelings for the other half of their respective pairings.
