(Maxwell Gotch spontaneously appears in a room with a banner that says "Queer Brian Murphy characters")

Jens: ugh great, I was enjoying being the only one here

Maxwell: what?

Jens: no im just saying it was nice to be the star for once. I mean I'm always the star, but-

Riz, from the corner: you know I've been here the whole time right?

Jens: jesus christ i keep forgetting about you! where the hell have you been?!

Riz: literally right here

Kugrash: if we're speaking up i mean i don't know if you count Perry the pigeon as a boy but i definitely took him to a wedding

Jens: that was a bit! I'm literally married to man!

Cody: so am I

Jens: IN A LIVESHOW. THAT DOESNT COUNT

Theobald: and I just wanna say that if Maxwell gets in on account of being heavily queer-coded you should hear me out again because even though the guy i had a relationship with died early on before anything sort of happened the narrative followed his death up with me meeting a woman i had the exact same relationship with whom I did fuck vigourously in canon

Riz: and we still have like 45 unopened letters from Irina, Jaina, Erlin, Syb, and Shae saying that npcs also should be counted

Jens: STOP!!!!! !I NEED TO BE KNOWN AS THE ONLY GAY MURPH CHARACTER ITS LIKE THE ONLY THING I HAVE GOING FOR ME PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

i love this. penultimate episode of naddpod (campaign 1). every character is getting the chance to have very sweet personal asides about what the future might look like for them after the big battle. but thirty minutes before the end our storied dungeon master brian murphy said ☝️ hold on. one last thing. we're not getting out of the story yet. not without confirming that jaina bronzebeard. undefeated dwarven wrestling champion. beloved npc of over 60 episodes. eats box

SECRET THIRD THING HARDSHINE MY BELOVED

[operationslipperypuppet]

the thing is that none of us are talking about jaina bronzebeard enough. she doesn’t have a beard and it’s because she’s a lesbian rejecting traditional femininity. she almost beheads our collective best friend because he witnesses the death of her sister. she is elected queen of her hometown but rejects it so hard that everyone continues to call her “general”. yes, she’s imperfect and doesn’t make every correct decision. but she’s also simply great. so we should adore her. she deserves it.

Brian Murphy dm moment of all time was when all the pcs thought Jaina was into hardwon and instead of just going with it, he stood his ground and was like “no she’s obviously a dyke you idiots” thus canonizing her as the patron saint for naddpod lesbians everywhere
