Love love love and sadness and bittersweet love that some of the last things Molly got to do included helping his friends win a drinking contest, making sure Fjord got to sleep safely in their shared room that night, getting Yasha a silk flower for her collection, enjoying the fireworks in Hupperdook, having Caleb call him cute and 'the only magic one here', performing circus acrobatics with Yasha one last time, killing a homicidal automaton, taking the initiatve to bargain for the release of the Schusters and giving Kiri a new chance at a family, finally connecting with Beau over past shenanigans, and doing his absolute damndest to rescue his friends

What a life of unapologetic audacious joy he lived <3

I hope they do something like this from C2E2 (3:21:06) in the animated show:

Matt: All right, so what are the groups here?

Nott: "The girls and the boys." 

Fjord: "Caleb and me--" 

Jester: "And Molly."

Nott: "And whatever Molly is." (laughter) 

Molly: "I'm fabulous." 

Matt: Molly, who are you going with? 

Molly: "I'm going with the girls, because the circus kids won't talk to them without me." 

Obviously the circumstances would be different because we're past the circus arc in the animated series, but it would be very easy for them to do a blink and you miss it non-shoehorned scene like this to establish Molly's gender identity.

Or the classic scene with Molly and Drunk Beau where Molly wanted to test his Blood Maledict powers that produced this quality gem from C2E24 (2:06:35)

Molly: "Is it all right if I try something? No, nothing like that. I just wanted--" 

Beau: "I will fucking punch you if you try and kiss me."

Molly: "Oh god!" 

Beau: "I know I'm attractive."

Molly: "How is your hangover? Whatever team you're on, I'm not sure I play for that one. It's Team "fuck off," I'm well aware. How are your hangovers normally?"

Okay so now that Molly is officially dead, did he ever actually say the thing about leaving places better than they found them??

The only time I heard it said was Fjord in episode 24 (3:27, "I would really like the opportunity to leave this place better than we found it") But also I could be wrong and might have missed something.

It's just crazy to me that this becomes such a big part of Molly's legacy when it really has no relationship to his actual personality while he was alive

Highlights from the drunk night in Hupperdook

Bonus:

CR2 Episode 24, "The Hour of Honor"

[earnthecorruptor]

beauregard lionett, the confident asshole that you are 😄 -> campaign 2, episode 24

[fwwerabtry]

huh

this is several years before c3 was even a glimmer in anyone's eye, and Tal didn't have a character prepped at this point(he's said that Caduceus was a rush job bc he had no backups prepared) so this is one hell of a coincidence, having "Ashton" and "punk" mentioned in the same breath

Episode 24 downtime was such a bust for everyone. 😂

Tiberius: Wasted a whole day flying back and forth from the Lyceum to get access to the Thunderbrands' sigil in Kraghammer, thereby requiring a full rest to actually get the group there, and the reward for returning the necklace to the Thunderbrands was permission to learn the sigil to teleport there.

Vax: Paid 1,200 gold out of the party funds for three enchanted daggers for Kynan, only to realize Kynan had left home with no trace.

Vex: The cost of getting the flying carpet re-enchanted was about 50,000 gold and would take a year--and of course that's just not doable on a budget--and Vax's utterly wasteful spending meant she had to pay everyone 1,500 gold out of the (newly acquired 25,000 gold of) party funds. 😩

Keyleth: Attempted to haggle for an alchemy book like Vex would, rolled a natural 1, and utterly beefed the interaction (though Scanlan got the book for standard price plus a song).

Percy: Juggled multiple projects, but for the first one he completed, he rolled so badly that he only produced about half the items for the materials on hand.

Scanlan: Tagged along for almost all of this while being the voice of (ignored) reason.

Trinket: His fur was braided with flowers and pink bows against his will while Vex was gone. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Grog: His beard started growing in with a dark red-brown hair! 😁... And then Vax shaved off half his beard--on the right side of his face. 🤬

the hour of honor—favorite quotes, no context

(matt) she pops the top button off the top of her blouse and gives a better look at her dwarven cleavage. (laura) i love that you did it.

(liam) diplomatic immunity!

(beau) i really like when she crosses her arms like that. it makes her biceps look good.

(rissa) well, first off, you're assuming they're all women. (nott) oh yeah, that's true! we could get a sturdy, strapping gigolo man to go up there and watch out for kiri!

(molly) there is one member of our party who is probably not going to want to go out and see this ridiculousness. (nott) she is a wallflower tonight. (beau) she does seem very uncomfortable, yeah.

(nott) i guess we can—beau? (beau) yeah! i know, i'm your second choice— (nott) no, third. it was kiri first, caleb second. you're three.

(beau) did you just put a hooker on layaway?

(fjord) i'm just gonna let you guys kinda take the lead on this. i'm more of a spectator, at this point. (beau) ...what are you talking about? (nott) with the hooker? (fjord) no! i thought we were going out for like an hour!

(beau) you can't predict when people are going to be shitty. (nott) they're always shitty. it's a 100% accurate prediction.

(beau) my dad was super protective and I was an asshole and rebelled a lot. (nott) you? no!

(nott) time is of the essence. he might be with a lady of the night later tonight. you might have to teach him quickly. (jester) that's true. (caleb) and was that skill learned or innate? (nott) cram school.

(laura) yay! (sam) yeah. tonight, when it doesn't matter, you roll great.

(caleb) i don't think i should go late in the game, but i feel capable of this challenge. (fjord) i can drink. (beau) i'm pretty good at it, too. (molly) i'm ready for this. (nott) i've never had a drink in my life. (fjord) our fucking team captain over here!

(caleb) let's enjoy a good game. did you just say, "may the best gnome win?" (valkin) yes. (nott) he's trash talking! don't listen to him!

(ol' blemmy) you're small, but i can see why they call you the bottomless pit. (beau) yeah, bp!

(matt) nott, you are intoxicated. you are fearless. (nott) i can do anything! i can surf on a truck!

(beau) i will fucking punch you if you try and kiss me. (molly) whatever team you're on, i'm not sure i play for that one. it's team "fuck off," i'm well aware.

(beau) alright guys, here's the deal— (laura and matt) wait, we're taking a break. (marisha) no, fuck! i'm so angry! fuck!

(cleff tinkertop) take care of my rissania. (the mighty nein) rissania!

(beau) sometimes family names aren't all that they're cracked up to be. what's more important is that he really cares for you. don't take that for granted, all right? (jester) yeah, and the fact that you know him is really cool, too. anyway. (nott) wow, so many daddy issues.

(nott) it's very clear. we have kiri already. we take these four children with us, and we keep going.

(molly) didn't you almost open fire on these children not more than 30 seconds ago? (nott) that was an intimidation tactic. i would never hurt a child! (molly) of course you would! (nott) no, i wouldn't! i love children. (fjord) you'd eat a child. (nott) that was an accident! (fjord) i knew i saw you drooling! (molly) this is why i don't miss the circus.
