I wanted to make a Nein Again drawing for Inktober, so I checked the c2e36 transcript for a fun moment to draw, and I chuckled at Caduceus saying he was "embracing chaos" and then immediately asking Fjord for his plan.
Reading it, I thought it was funny in a sad way, but when I checked the episode for visual references to use for the drawing, it turned out to just be sad sad. ^^; Such a great performance, I love this episode a lot..
For funsies a sketch of what I pictured reading the transcript, and a sketch of what I ended up drawing
!!! SPOILERS FOR FJORDS ARC AND THE END OF CAMPAIGN 2!!!
Fjord c2e72 threatening Uk’otoa his Patron (on the same place the Wildmother choose him as her Paladin): “You need me more than i need you. Give it back”
Caduceus c2e140 asking the Wildmother for a Divine Intervention to bring back The M9s friend after they failed to revivify him even after “winning the fight”: “Whoever it was, just put it back. I think they’ve earned it. Put it back.”
The best part is actually is right before Cad did this (and fucking succeeded), is Fjord went to check on Essek cuz they all were frustrated it didn’t work, and how unfair it is,
Essek said “That can’t be it, can it?”
And Fjord absolute legend said: “I don’t know. But if you were to ask my wise friend, Caduceus, I’m sure he would tell you that life continues on. It changes, it evolves, and it grows. I don’t think there’s an end. You just might not be able to see the next…trip.”
And goes on to say that Essek has more time, to turn around on any regret or grief over what he’s done, that he(Fjord) sees nothing but good, and that he has an opportunity to use that anger and frustration to fuel him.
Matt: “Of all the fungus and moss that has grown through the decomposition, more plants begin to grow as well. Vines and flowers and roots, and ferns begin to bloom and blossom out of the ground surrounding his body. Begin to encase it in a way that’s oddly familiar to one of you.” “…a warm breeze. It smells sweet, with hints of ocean. The green turns to brown, and pulls away.” And a Tealeaf is back “Your eyes open for the first time.”
