I've seen some people asking why Murray is so suspicious of Thjazi, and I feel like I'm going crazy because we already know?
Murray is suspicious by nature. She doesn't believe that good people do good things just for the sake of doing something good (even if that good thing helps everyone. In fact, especially if that good thing helps everyone with no obvious additional personal gain). She was pretty clear about that in her conversation with Mara. As far as she's concerned, people do good things because it benefits them. And so she's trying to find the way that this benefits Thjazi beyond the way it benefits everyone. Same with Mara.
Murray is a lot of things. She is intelligent, and she is dedicated. She loves her school, and she loves her students. But if there is one thing she is not, it's selfless. I'd go as far as to say that she doesn't believe selfless people exist.
Murray was never a falconer or a revolutionary. She is an ambitious woman in academia. So, she's gonna keep looking for that personal motivation until she finds one. And if she can't find one? She's gonna distrust to the extreme.
So obviously, she's gonna keep looking for an angle. Especially when it comes to a guy, she barely knew regardless of how many people tell her that "No, he really is selfless. I swear your conception of the world is wrong. Some people are just selfless."
At least for now, failing any massive character arc where she learns that actually people can be that selfless, her response is always gonna be, "But is he, though?"
(My hot take/headcanon is that if the sundered houses weren't coming for the Penteveral and arcane magic in general, Murray wouldn't even be here. She would be back at work. The fact that she is now entangled in a cosmic-political conspiracy is a direct result of the sundered houses coming for the place that she works and the people she loves. Actually, no, the place that she loves. And her crisis about why Thjazi wanted Hal to help her is because she knows this. She knows she wouldn't be doing any of this shit if she didn't have to in order to protect her workplace and magical research.)
I'm not sure I agree that the Penteveral is the *only* thing Murray cares about, but I definitely agree on her not believing in selfless people.
I exaggerated to some degree (if she only cared about her job, she wouldn't jump into the fray to save Demodus). I meant more, the Penteveral represents a lot for Murray, including a way that people like her can do something meaningful and gain access to power without needing to be born with it. The Sundered Houses attacking that is a direct and very personal loss to her. Probably didn't phrase it the right way.

Going to talk about something that might be triggering to other survivors.
I just find it VERY interesting that the argument against anyone who thinks it's even remotely possible that Thjazi did abuse Bolaire is that we're 'calling Thjazi 100% evil' or 'woobifying Bolaire'. That is not the case at all, and is genuinely kinda... a fucked-up claim that shows very little understanding of this topic.

At this point it's safe to say that Taliesin has succeeded in creating an EPICLY divisive character who can be read either as a vicious manipulator, constantly playing everyone around him to paint himself in a sympathetic light (but just... not doing very well), while denying his own agency ONLY when convenient to absolve himself of responsibility for the suffering he causes; who refuses every opportunity for growth and is determined to remain lodged in the comfortable life he has built at other's expense; who blames everything on Thjazi because he cannot accept that he's actually just a terrible person who brought all his own suffering upon himself -
...OR as a guy who spent DECADES being used as a slave and denied all autonomy, who has only been able to make his own choices in life or even conceive of himself as an individual for fourteen years; who parasites on others to survive; whose central influence post-freedom was Thjazi (a man who went RIGHT BACK to mistreating and 'owning' him, who 'taught him to hate', and is implied to have guided him to become the messy torture-murderer we know and love in the present day; Thjazi, a man who the vast majority of PC characters have a close relationship with, which paints him in an ENTIRELY different light and means that Bolaire is dismissed and shut down whenever he tries to talk about his mistreatment at Thjazi's hands in a way that rings true to many other survivors who were abused by a beloved figure) -
And y'know... I think they can both be true, in parts? And that's great fun!
Either way - bravo Taliesin for conquering the entire fandom with discourse over whether folks are allowed to enjoy a fictional character lmao. Truly living rent-free in everyone's head - whether or not they enjoy it. How very Bolaire.
I was beyond excited to draw this scene. Normally I get asked to draw romance, but this time it was a...different kind of passion. Something inside Kaz came loose, indeed 💀 It's one of my favourite moments in the book, despite what he just did, because it's when I understood exactly what Inej means to him. It's amazing what we'll forgive in fiction that we couldn't in real life. (commissioned by @litjoycrate for their Six of Crows edition)
hgggg the state of misogynoir in the fandom is such that aabria is constantly accused of 'meta gaming' and 'wanting to hog the centre of attention' for simply... talking
and having her character interact with others
and thus when she makes ONE exceedingly understandable mistake after WEEKS of gameplay (misremembering that Hala was there when Julien spat on Thjazi, I think?? - which is very minimal compared to mistakes other characters have made regarding continuity!) it's taken as 'evidence' against her
like
the lack of grace given to Aabria in particular at this table for being A Human Who Does Not Remember Exactly What Her Character's Familiar Was Doing In A Four-Hour Long Episode Several Weeks Ago At The Start Of The Campaign, is so very blatant.
and like. sorry for being grumpy in the morning about my own group of fans for my specialest little guy but -
Can we all please recognise that Tal is playing a character who was a slave for several decades, even if he doesn't fully recognise it as such and has internalised a lot about how little agency he has or 'should' have in his life, and this trauma affects damn near every interaction he has with the rest of the cast....
...but this is REALLY not in the same longboat as a Black woman explicitly coding her particular fantasy race group as Black, with reference to chattel slavery and the ongoing Black liberation fight in the context of US history - a fantasy race that throughout the history of DnD has been coded as Black as a way to disparage them and portray them as violent savages....
......which in itself isn't the same as Brennan and Liam, two white men, playing characters from that same race, which they have taken the care to make much paler skinned than Thaisha's own character, while drawing respectfully from their own backgrounds as Irish descendants rather than trying to claim what Aabria is doing with the Orcs and the Rungjani for themselves, while still existing in the same sandbox she's playing in?
Maybe we should all internalise this base starting point before we start to discuss how slavery fucked up Bolaire. Because. My God.
Brennan, did you have to? 😭😭😭

We are all ignoring the glorious relationship that could one day exist between Murray and Thaisha.
Diviner and Druid.
Schemer and Seeker.
Someone who sees and shapes the future and one who forged a way forward from the past.
Murray helped achieve the first resurrection since the death of the gods. Thaisha created the first celestial made since the death of the gods.
Both refuse to cower in front of danger, even if that danger is an enemy caster, many levels higher than them.
Both have got the strongest wills anyone's ever seen.
Both incredibly fucking hot.
It could be a love story to rewrite the stars... if only we could have them at the same table outside of the massive group sessions. I'll give my firstborn if I can just get an extended one on one convo between them. Even if it's only five minutes.
What is your thoughts on the whole “Thjazi is abusive” discussion/discourse going around?
This is a bit of a longer post, but the short answer is that I think it's entirely possible that Thjazi was cruel or apathetic towards certain people, including Bolaire, and that it wouldn't compromise the story in any way, but I am not convinced that Bolaire has told the whole story about that. However, I don't think the terms "abusive" or "abuser" are useful in this context.
Massive plot and character spoilers for Cloudward, Ho! under the cut.
People have been coloring CR characters so pale, especially Occtis and Kattigan. I haven't said anything about it, but I was looking on Etsy for fun to see the CR4 fan merch, and by fucking god, the white washing of these characters is so intense. I understand that these is an imagination game, but we have official art. And its not okay to make these characters so pale they look white, in same cases like anime girl near paper white, how much colorism is in this community??? The racism???
(I'm not talking about the limited color pallet like- just using green and purple and red and the rest is black, using the white of the canvas, I see that as a completely diffrent thing, just for clarity's sake)
For the people who just generally don't know any better, and its a mistake, and/or don't understand the weight of their actions, here is something I found on Twitter a long time ago.

I may be biased by being an og Keyleth stan, but Marisha really does have my favorite play style of any player.
I love her note taking, I love her commitment to physically embodying her characters, and I love how she always poses theories based on prior events (because regardless of whether she on the mark or wildly off base, her train of logic is always fun to follow). I've loved each of her characters, no exceptions.
another day, another terrible bolcourse opinion -
'Tal is a Bad Evil Player because Bolaire sprung it on everyone that he was abused by Thjazi!!! and now all other players have to reckon with the fact that the guy they looked up to, but who they knew did bad things and was overall morally grey; did actually do bad things that affected one of their friends personally!'
