Hi I'd like to say that Jessie MADE THE WITCH (and also Matt freaking Mercer) FUCKIN BELIEVE THAT SHIT
She walked in, rolling her sleeves up, playing up her happy go lucky character, and just offered up her hands. Even when the witch asked her if she was willing to give them up, she acted ~naive~ and asked questions like "Oh but do you mean my HANDS or just my ABILITY TO DRAW" and "But it will be so hard to eat!!!" And at that point, the whole table was giggling because Laura MOTHERFUCKING Bailey was lightening the mood. Matt was laughing. I was laughing.
And then she asks if she can have one last cupcake. Her last meal she can eat herself. She starts getting teary eyed (or at least it looked like that to me), and you can see Matt thinking "Laura is really going to do this". And she asks the hag to share. And of course she would, it's Jester. Jester is the type of character to always share. She's the nice one. She goes IN DETAIL about how she breaks the cupcake with HER FINGERS THAT SHE PLANS TO SACRIFICE AS PART OF HER HANDS.
And as soon as Matt makes it known that the hag eats it, she IMMEDIATELY tells him that it's sprinkled with the ~fun useless item they bought like sixty episodes ago~ Y'know because the ~cupcake was old and she wants the hag to really like it~ because ~Jessie is just nice like that~
Oh and also she's casting Modify Memory
NOBODY AT THE TABLE EXPECTED THAT.
NOBODY.
