things rarely do for bells hells

just think about how killing otohan should have meant no more deaths from her, but defeating her took fcg anyway. or how killing zathuda wasn't even part of the initial plan, they just couldn't allow him to leave. or how stopping ludinus only meant that the weight of the decision and all HUGE responsibility is now on bells hells shoulders

victories are supposed to feel nice. and they don't. they just mean even more bigger problems

like, no shit these guys aren't heroes, they don't know what it's like, everything they do doesn't feel impactful enough, even though it IS. there's just always more and more and more

i hope you remember everybody who died in a fucking war just because your cerberus assembly needed fucking beacons, man

i hope you acknowledge what zathuda did

i hope you remember the name of each and every exhalant who mysteriously disappeared in the last days

i hope you remember every reiloran and every exandrian who died in the base of your bloody bridge

i hope you remember the raven champion who once was a mortal just like you and you made him suffer simply because you don't like the gods and you needed an instrument

i hope you remember zephrah

i hope you remember how you literally five minutes ago tried to suck liliana's life force out of her permanently which would result in her being DEAD

i hope you remember molaesmyr

i hope you remember everything else you've done, everything we didn't get to see. i hope you remember each and every name and every sacrifice that people didn't want to make because you made it for them

vox machina: we're gonna defeat these big bad guys who try to rule and/or destroy the world. we're heroes and that's a big deal and we take it seriously (for the most part)

bells hells: the whole destiny of exandria and its gods is kinda in our hands, we are going to form the future and we're not sure how noble our choice is gonna be. that's a big deal and we take it seriously

the mighty nein: we picked up this dodecahedron thingy and then it stopped the war accidentally. no idea how that went through. we also picked up molly and then lost molly and then picked up kingsley which kinda also saved the world from the living fucking city. like. that happened. we were ultimately just traveling randomly finishing personal quests, who knows how the fuck we ended up here

caleb in c3: big calm and soft vibes, a responsible adult, you can see that this dude is a teacher

orym: okay guys that's all very interesting but people will die.

everybody:

everybody: ...anyway, so, unleashing predathos...

he only said "the gods are watching" and wildmother was like "yeah bitches, i'm watching, and that lil guy is with me" and that was it. no dice roll required :D
