Watching Matt Mercer cry into Liam O’Brien’s arms just weeks before their 10 year anniversary after Liam and Brennan successfully pulled off the reveal that Matt was playing the All-Hammer, the god of creation and legacy in Exandria, in the world Matt made over twelve years ago for Liam’s birthday, is one of the most touching things I’ve ever seen.

I find it really funny that everyone’s going “Oh no, a kid in a Brennan EXU!!” when historically the kids survive Brennan’s Critrole excursions—the kids in the sorcerer school, Elias, the boy in the hospital in Aeor. The GM who’s killed a bunch of kids (the Dread Emperor kid pre-stream, Velora, Luc) is *Matt.*

Brennan Lee Mulligan and Liam O’Brien have an opportunity to do some of the saddest, most angsty gay shit in all of dungeons and dragons if they play their cards right here.
