it’s junior year, and i still believe in you

so fucking funny that the squad for the tachonis combat death mansion both makes complete narrative sense and is also made up of 4 pcs who have either made use of desperate measures (teor & thimble), taken a subclass that specifically requires them to be injured (julien), or taken both a feat and a spell that require self injury (occtis). it’s just 4 people with life risking tendencies in a group together getting scared for and mad at the other people in the group when they are exhibiting life risking tendencies. the hypocrite brigade <3

brennan pulling out all the stops for this one. using players to trick other players, running clock during scenes… he’s so crazy i love him <3

really scared/excited about the green lighting thimble-julien-occtis-teor fight in the new trailer seemingly taking place over two separate episodes (they’re wearing different shirts). also we can’t see travis in one of those eps but i’m choosing to believe teor gets there later a la vaelus in the bar fight. because it’d be badass. but for safety everybody # please live

curious how the seekers are getting to dol-makjar within a reasonable amount of time for the convergence arc, considering i’m pretty positive the morning of the whole gala assassination/resurrection thing they’re still in the eternal night, and it took them like 5 days of travel to get there from dol-makjar. literally my only good idea is ‘get a big eagle again’.’ i hope they get a big eagle again.

just woke up to find out we got confirmation both hal & thjazi were younger than they should have been when they joined the war of axe & vine (‘a little young’ in hal’s case, ‘quite young’ in thjazi’s)… i literally planned this. also if we do the math with hal being 19 in the year 42 and the war of axe and vine starting in the year 37, hal could have been about 14 years old when he joined. and thjazi is at least a few years younger than hal. so.

thinking about flashback mayali being stronger than azune & flashback mayali not saying a thing and just holding azune’s hand while he begs to stay with their parents & current mayali throwing herself in front of a poison blade for azune & current mayali affectionately calling azune her little brother and telling him she remembers before making the difficult choice to leave him again. thinking about azune who has made himself into someone who is meant to take the hit for the people he cares about and mayali who has always been the person to take the hit for azune. because she’s his big sister. i feel sick to my stomach.

everything is so much worse and so much better than i could have ever imagined. brennan lee mulligan you crazy bastard i love you

i’ve been thinking about what the hell the upcoming schemers combat could have going on ever since the schemers trailer dropped and there were clips of that combat where like everyone was standing up and moving at various points and (assuming that is indeed from the presumed upcoming gala combat) now it’s like. oh okay. they’re surrounded by npcs that are far more powerful than them both magically & socially. we know one of said npcs has cast the goddamn wish spell before. it’s in public. it’s a political assassination. one wrong move could get someone killed. no wonder they’re not chill about it.

lots of great character stuff from last night’s episode but brennan’s “[thjazi] didn’t give you the full picture, and last night, you all decided it was safer for nobody to know too much, so maybe you’re like him after all” was genuinely so good it made me want to stand up and cheer.

yes argosia & the halovar doing a king gus assassination attempt bad but have we considered this means we’ll almost definitely get to see one of the hounds of the king in combat
