I didn't know what to expect from the Darrington Brigade one-shot, but Travis singing "Puttin' on the Ritz" in his chipmunk voice with Liam's ogre growl followed by an extremely rare Travis-Liam hug was not one of them. I guess this is what sleep deprivation does to you.
What a thoroughly delightful charity event. ❤️
what if shadowgast atla au
Wtf is going on here??
Like. I'm not even in either of these fandoms. It's like i'm listening to domestic disturbances at the neighbor's apartment, and I feel like I just gotta ask.
What...? .....? The fuck......?
This isn't a hate post. I am genuinly asking as a concerned spectator, cuz this sounds fucking insane.
A real person might commit suicide, and there are people who are more worried about the appearance of a fictional character....??
I repeat. This isn't a hate post. I am honestly begging anyone to kindly explain this to me, cuz this sounds so crazy that I feel like I must have missed something. Help me understand your point of view. Why is this so important? I promise that this post is a safe space, I literally just want to learn so that I can have some peace of mind.
Also, I will be keeping a nondisclosed tally of "politeness points" of each side of this argument, depending on how people behave towards each other, be nice.

ROUND 3, POLL 3
Caleb Widogast v Essek Thelyss
Caleb
Essek
Caleb: Human. Wizard. Level 20
Essek: Elf (Drow). Wizard. Level 20
I know that Caleb is going to win. I know that it makes sense. But it would make me so happy if they ended up 50/50. 🧡💜
Spite/ Possessive
why did I waste my time drawing this stupid comic
"MORE CAT!"🔥🔥🔥
From "Inside the Mighty Nein" on Beacon.
I finally put my finger on what it was about molly’s comment to caleb at the end of ep5 that made it echo so loud, because it had the air of a callback even though this conversation was definitely a divergence from the actualplay
‘cause here’s the thing—it was a taliesin line at the table, but it wasn’t molly who said it!
it was caduceus to essek. masks finally off, standing at a crossroads, sins bare.
“who are you going to be today?”
How will the others react to Caleb's backstory?
The cat is out of the bag (or rather, burned inside a house)... 🔥
I was honestly surprised that they had Caleb reveal his backstory this early. I thought for sure they would sit on that until season 2, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense for the animated series to do it this way.
In the campaign, Caleb only told Beau and Nott, and it was as early as session 18. And he only revealed it to Beau because it was part of her deal to let him visit the Cobalt Soul library in Zadash. His main reason to tell her was strategic. Practical even. A transaction, if you so will.
In the animated series, the dynamic and circumstances are quite different. First and foremost, he has been made by Owelia. Beau already thinks he is a Volstrucker. He doesn't have his necklace anymore. Owelia sent his name to Trent, and there is nothing stopping him from finding Brenn and "take him back home".
Caleb doesn't reveal his past to these strangers because he trusts them, or to get inside a library. He tells them because he has nothing left to lose.
But maybe, these weird yet very capable people can help him.
Strength in numbers, right?
SO! Here are my predictions on how the rest of the Mighty Nein will react to Caleb's scorching backstory. 🔥
Nott - Is already ride or die for Caleb after spending an extensive amount of time with him on the road where she has seen his kind and vulnerable sides. She will focus on how Trent is a manipulative abuser who took advantage of a child (she already knows that Caleb is wanted for murder, and is not interested in turning him in).
Jester - She might not have known Caleb for as long as Nott, but she is an optimist who sees the best in people and that includes Caleb. She is also shown to be empathetic, so I imagine that she would be able to see the pain and regret Caleb carry and just wanna make that go away by showing him kindness.
Mollymauk - The past is (quote) "dreadfully boring". He doesn't care who you used to be, only who you are right now, and if you are trying to be better.
Fjord - I can see some trepidation from his side, since he is trying to emulate his captain and probably wonder what Vandran would do in this situation? He might express some concerns, but in the end, he too is a person who is trying to bury his past, so who is he to judge someone who's doing the same?
Beau - Beau is an hardass that would not look past a person's crimes from the goodness of her heart. But right now, there's one thing she cares about more than anything else: Her mission. And Caleb just gave her the name of Owelia's employer. The guy behind the residuum smuggling. The dude with ties to the Kryn "weapon theft". And Caleb clearly has no loyalty for the man. Whether she likes it or not, her and Caleb's interests align in at least some regard, and together they have a real chance of uprooting the corruption in the Empire. If they stick together.

on the subject of green beans
[ID: Art of Caduceus, a pale-skinned firbolg man, Caleb, a pale skinned human man, and Fjord, a green-skinned half-orc man. All three of them are sitting around a table with plates of fish and chips. Caduceus has pink hair, long cow-like ears and tail, coarse white fur, and a small short beard. He wears a green shirt and large floppy sun hat. Caleb wears purple robes with runes up and down the cuffs, and has chin-length red hair pulled back into a half-ponytail and scars down his arms. Fjord has black hair with a white streak through it, and wears a white shirt. Frumpkin, an orange cat, sits next to Fjord. Fjord looks at Caduceus as he eats his fries, and Caduceus looks at Caleb as he holds out a hand as if mid-conversation. Caleb looks down at his untouched plate with a worried expression.]
There's something a little funny to me about not really liking this guy that seemingly everyone is obsessed with in C2. Like... idk what it is, but Essek does not appeal to me. People are so obsessed with the wizards and I just think "But... what about him is interesting?"
Like, I love Caleb. Maybe it's because I've always liked Widomauk (I love you Molly) but Caleb and Essek have never been compelling to me. I see people freak out about Essek and I think "I... do not care about this man"
Maybe someone could change my mind, but idk. I just think it's just a weird phenomenon
Okay, so this is edited, but I've been truly fascinated by the answers people are giving me so please do give me your reasons why you like Essek. This is very interesting for me to read and honestly has changed my mind on a few things
For me, Essek is a comfort character.
I have, in the past, seen myself as a generally bad person. And I used to think that friendship is overrated and definitely not something for me. But then, I met people that for the first time made me realize what it felt like to have friends. Real friends.
And that is one of the reasons why Essek's story resonates so much with me. Because he was designed to be a narrative foil. He was not SUPPOSED to be loved. But because the Mighty Nein showed him kindness and compassion and treated him as a friend, he was allowed to become a different version of himself. Someone who can have deep and meaningful relationships. Someone who CARES about other people. Someone who thinks of himself as a bad person, but will do the right thing anyway because he doesn't want to disappoint the people who believes that he can be good.
Essek is a multifacted character that evolved far beyond his original purpose, and his journey underlines one of (in my opinion) the most important messages from campaign 2: That even if it's easier to see things in black and white, the world is much more beautiful with all the shades of colors.
