Before we go, I'm going to pull Caleb aside. We're all going to stare at you while you do this.

Talking about the series for Campaign 2 is hard. We have some idea as to what to expect based on the first two seasons of TLOVM. But...we don't know if things will change for the animated show between then and now.

As of this post, there's a lot we can't even guess.

For instance, we don't know if the show will keep the attention it's gotten by this point. Or if it'll lose some. Or if it will gain some.

But if TLOVM stays in the place it's at or even gains momentum, the Nein might receive more time and resources to tell their story. That would be awesome. But unfortunately, we can't count on it. So it's fun to try and think of compelling ways to play out scenes or get ideas across with as little time and resources as possible.

In that vein, I like the idea of Yasha just showing up with armfuls of flowers over the first couple of seasons.

No explanation is given. There's no real focus on them or her. She just....randomly sometimes has her arms full of flowers. Or maybe a few in her hair. Or both.

When it comes time for Yasha to finally tell the story of Zuala, before it even starts, have some wildflowers in her hair where the camera can see them. Then play the last part of Ashley's narration over a montage.

Like so:

Yasha: I don't know if my heart could ever be healed, but I'm okay with that.

(Yasha poking around in a forest, picking blossoms from trees and scaring the woodland creatures away.)

Yasha: I feel like if it were put back together then that means Zuala would be gone.

(Inadvertently intimidating a florist into just shoving a free bouquet into her arms.)

Yasha: I know one day I want to go back there.

(Popping up from off-screen and under some tall grass with a tiny wildflower in between her fingers.)

Yasha: I don't know where she was buried,

(Holding out a handful of wild roses to show Molly as he gets exasperated over the state of her hands, bleeding from the thorns.)

(Shot of Yasha's face, again, the flowers clearly visible in her hair: the audience realizing she's been wearing her wife's story the whole time.)

Yasha: But I have so many flowers to bring her.

I’m still not a huge fan of the conversation where Fjord gets all the blame for touching the red gem like all of them haven’t done stupid shit before and Beau is the only one I like in that scene because she’s the only one who admits that.

Also, please don’t take this as me being like, “Wow, everyone else sucks” except they do all kind of suck in this moment. Just for understandable reasons.

You know what I think about a lot?

Ashley's face when Matt explains Yasha's visions of Zuala. Like, she didn't have to look heartbroken, yet there she is, having a perfect reaction

Second piece I made for the Taste PMV project! This time it’s a scene from Campaign 2 Episode 46, where Yasha talks about her past with our two beloved clerics.

Check the replies for links to the project and the speedpaint for this piece! (Trying to cheat out the fact that tumblr does not like links on posts)

People have been noting that Jester's advice to Beau about forgiveness is coming from a place of naivety and lack of experience with abuse and while I think that is the case, I think it may also come from conversations she and Beau have had in the past about their pasts.

I'm specifically thinking of episode 46's ship conversation when Beau checks in with Jester after their first trip to the HFB and the conversation gets into the topic of their past when Beau reveals her lonely childhood to Jester. Beau says "In my loneliness, I got angry and turned to bad things. But in your loneliness, you turned to creativity and I think that's beautiful." Given that Beau talks about that anger and that period of her life with seeming regret, I think that it makes sense that Jester would advise her towards forgiveness and toward letting go of that anger to some degree and freeing herself from that burden, or poison as Jester puts it.

I'm not necessarily advocating for Beau to forgive them at all or what forgiveness should look like, but I remembered that conversation from the ship and thought there was an interesting thread there.

Third episode in a row where Fjord’s bad decisions have immediate consequences. Hmm.
