emily axford is literally an icon for improvising a line to force her friends to make fake!her and fake!her crush date in their comedy webseries as a way to make a move on her crush and it worked and now they're married

god it's so. the backstory flashbacks instantly say so much about elmer's character and the pcs. elmer being gruff and short spoken but so deeply kind, so willing to adopt the misfits who have been abandoned by the city and found their way to his arcade. the first thing he says to atom being 'i gave you feelings.' and!!! the things the players did with the flashbacks!!!!! "slug puts so much effort into being bigger and tougher than all the things she's afraid of, but this is kind of unexpected and pretty kind, so it's disarming, so for a moment she drops the act and looks less like a street tough and more like a kid play acting one"........ "nobody's ever given aux time and space and a task-- he's had so much energy, and just leaving him in front of this and saying 'this is a problem you figure it out', aux is able to focus his energy. he kneels down next to the machine and starts tinkering"......... "there is a pain and i cannot make it go away, but there is also a warmth and a joy"

emily saying that everyone gets on her ass for being mean to murph but murph loves being razzed and look how sheepish he gets when she's nice to him really made me laugh. caldwell and jake being like "he's fidgeting!! he's sheepish!!"

it’s like awesome how many musical echos of the original galaderon arc are in neo galaderon. the bahumia theme under the stormborn taking off, under the moment hardwon introduces himself and redd realizes who he is. vs the bahumia theme under the killscreens finally reaching the airship that elmer left behind for them and bursting into the sky headed towards their home. the twinkling lights of galaderon under hardwon discovering the airship belonged to his father, the first real clue to where his parents had gone. vs the twinkling lights of galaderon under the killscreens looking towards the sky and getting an idea of where elmer had gone, to mechanus. the valiant ol cobb under cobb (nearly) dying on the deck of an airship above the sky of galaderon as they try to save the city vs the valiant ol cobb under aux dying in the remains of a crashed airship as they try to save the city. a fate refused being from hardwon killing galad and coming back for slug using the chip. so much og galaderon music. and its just. ghrhghghg

“hardwon is hyping up moonshine to hit on a flight attendant and there is no part of them that thinks you don’t want to be a part of this” really got me

............ i think i can say my naddpod music insanity has peaked

“it says something beautiful and horrifying about all of us that none of these seats are good. these characters all came from our brains”

beautiful moment of ever is "this question's for murph. if you were to build the flintstones as d&d characters--" [world's loudest murph cackle] "[emily] i need two to four weeks off"
