oh...I didn't hear anything about that king/molly question before the panel was posted today--
"A celebration of the ephemeral." "Gather ye rosebuds." "Live now, get it done. You've get a very short time to do this..." "Having that character come back was always gonna be--kind of a fresh start, and very specifically kinda just take the very base notes of where he had been before."
That hurts, but. I can at least have, "take the very base notes" of that character and carry them on. Not the same, but. The most intrinsic parts of him are what stay. And it means a lot to me that he keeps the same feelings for the Nein he had before, and he eventually regains some of his memories in those dreams Taliesin and Matt mentioned.
Still going to always think of it as Molly's soul, just reborn or given a new start. Like a Consecution. If there was really nothing left of him for the ritual to grasp, if this isn't the same soul shard, I don't think the spell would have worked at all, or he wouldn't have felt anything for the Nein.
There's also the phrasing of, "Whoever it was, put it back. I think they've earned it. Put it back." Which seems...really strange, if there's truly nothing of Molly left. On some intrinsic level, that was the core of Molly's soul, even if he can never be the same again. It's heartbreaking, that Molly always felt like he was on borrowed time, seemed to know whatever he had to do, or wanted to do--he didn't have long.
"Live now, get it done. You've got a very short time to do this," just makes me think of how Gustav told him, "Mollymauk, I hope you find what you're looking for." And his only response was, "I think I will." When Jester asks him what it is he's looking for, he just says, "Hmm...I'm not quite done with this one. We'll see."
A life he isn't done with just yet. Something he's still looking for. And he gets another chance at that, whatever it is he wants to find. That shard of his soul still lives on, is still made to feel whole, still looks at this little family and is enough of Mollymauk that his first word to them is Love. "There's nothing wrong with living your life. You only get one of them--or...mostly..." Sometimes there's a miracle.
You're the braniac here so why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food.
❝ Please. Stop talking. Just stop talking — ❞
Taliesin, about Lucien’s tarot reading: “Molly made the cards, so...he did it to himself, he did, he did. He’s probably back in the grave like, AHHH!!!”
Matt: “Once again, another example of things working out unexpectedly, too perfectly, in a narrative moment...fuck. I love that even at this point of the campaign, Molly continues to fuck with people. He’s this source of chaos that continues to mess with everyone...”
Your eyes open for the first time.
Taliesin: “Bolts up and runs. Stops. “Empty empty empty... MOLLY SEEING YASHA AND GOING, “Love.” Seeing Caleb and saying, “Magician.” “Tinker.” “Joy.” “Sea.” “Rumor.” “Empty.” ALL THEIR CARDS---
My heart is so soft from the way Molly says Love when he sees Yasha I’m crying.
Molly coming out in any way or form possible is what I crave but Ling-in-Greed interaction of Molly possessing him and you KNOW he's cackling echoing in that skull because of course Beau remembered the tokens, if he had a little more control that would've been a high five but Lucien probably would've strangled himself first
oh i love fma and I'd be all for that. Mollymauk's consciousness is definitely in there with him, and it's so good to see how irritated Lucien gets over it. I do sometimes wonder if Lucien had never become the Nonagon, if he was just another shattered soul, then maybe the two of them could have begrudgingly worked something out.
Also yes the drink tokens!! I love the thought of beau wanting to go drinking with Molly when all this is over, like they're still just friends picking right up where they left off. beau and fjord honestly had such fun lines this episode i hope they both made Molly laugh :')
still thinking about them
