How do words work?

Chloé Zhao, who just won an Oscar for best director, writes fanfiction.

Teor is really the first PC death for Travis that doesn’t feel intentional on his part. Yes it was always possible. I don’t think it could happen to anyone better because Travis is the cheerleader of his friends/the button pusher for himself. This is a guy who grew up on sportsmanship and camaraderie.

Yes, it’s absolutely sad we won’t know more about Teor and Cyd outside of flashbacks, but it gives a great story of tragedy and further developments of dynamics for PCs and their players to explore.

teor and cyd dying paw in paw.

bolire (choosing to go to his sister instead of help wick or tyranny) narrowly missing a disintegrate from termina, an utter betrayal and still saying that he loves her as he runs away. later when he tortures the man he possesses with the vision of his brother being murdered, directs a play using exact words from teor and cyd and struggling to make something that is solely his.

zebani saying she will kill wick for what’s he’s done to her.

jullien clutching the gem with his sister’s soul and choosing not to die in the dark and assumedly dooming teor with this choice.

occtis having hope that maybe his brother hasn’t wholly betrayed him, hoping that maybe julien wouldn’t kill him.

hal, his life’s work turned into a ritual by his brother to free their people.

vaelus tasked with chosing freeing her siblings from the underworld or the entire rungjani peoples gathered there at the hallowed round and just not knowing what to choose.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

the team: what the FUCK, kid?
