#samwell gotch

I can not fuxking believe Brennan Lee Mulligan patiently waiting for Maxwell to ask "WHERE IS SAMWELL" just to have Samwell pop out and reveal that he has, in fact, been here the whole time.

love the concept being introduced in this finale that samwell is actually not especially reasonable and we’ve only come to know him as the reasonable brother because relative to maxwell the shark eyed gentleman fister and wealwell the iceberg captain he is exceedingly reasonable. but like. this is still a guy who hid in a chimney

Samwell Gotch having a reaction even at 0 hit points whenever a Gotch brother dies within five feet of him to get back up to 1 hit point is such eldest daughter behavior

gonna stick with me how the gotch family was basically a joke until fucking longspot destroyed ludmila's heart out of cruelty ignorance and greed, and then we got the emotional weight of all the PCs and the DM moving the sky to have goodness win despite that empty violence. there were a hundred rerolls and help actions and sacrifices and in a way it's like it's part of the point- even if the dice don't give you the outcome you were hoping for, sometimes why take it and move on when we're having to take it in the real world all the time, especially now. keep hoping, keep thinking up creative options, keep trying everything. and just this once, in this story, goodness won. it didn't get out unscathed, but it still won.

its been forever since the cloudward ho finale but i cannot stop thinking about the fact that samwell went looking for maxwell and wealwell very shortly after they disappeared only to end up stuck in zood for like 15 years and despite that he still shows up when they need him and fights along side them <//3
