Pedestrian Philosophies

Every time they randomly start singing a song I inevitably don’t recognize

Every time one of them makes a quip that’s apparently a reference to something I’m way too young to understand and start laughing their asses off

Watching Travis not even try to hide the heart eyes when Laura has Jester do something cool

Every time Matt becomes the living embodiment of the >:3c face

Every time some Fucked Up Shit™ happens and both Liam and especially Taliesin look utterly delighted while the rest of the players look horrified

Every time Taliesin announces that he “has a Thing”

Related to that, every time in the first campaign Tal said he had An Idea™

Every time Beau gets the gay bc honestly mood

Literally every second Ashley is present

The way Travis and Ashley do battle cries when Yasha rages

“ragé”

When The Gang cause Matt to crack and he just starts laughing his ass off. It’s the cutest shit he’s so adorable

Matt’s impressions of other PCs and the players’ reactions to them (personal favourites include his Yasha (adorable) his Clay (really sweet) and his Shakäste (way cooler and sexier than he gave himself credit for))

How the boys are so unashamedly affectionate with each other. So many guys these days need to see that that kinda shit is okay.

Taliesin’s happy wiggles

Those moments when Matt is RPing a powerful woman and Marisha gives him That Look that’s quite clearly not 100% Beau

Liam trying to be Serious Shit and every single time Laura makes him crack up by being Laura

The fact the twins still have Twinnie Energy

The Lore Moments

Beau being very bad at both flirting and peopling in general

Jester’s pranks

Every time Nott has her moments and just gushes about someone she loves

Nugget

The fact that we finally have PCs with living parents

The fact that one of them is a PC with a good relationship with her mother in a genre where being a mother is the most dangerous thing to be

The fact that said mother is a sex worker who’s portrayed in a really positive light (which is to be expected since Matt is friends with Satine and probably others from that industry)

How genuinely The Gang stan each other

Foster

Like. I love him you guys he’s such a Good Guy

DANI MOTHERFUCKING CARR

Literally everything about Dani Carr

She’s a OG critter you guys

Who made it to their actual company

I’m so happy for her

And she’s so amazing I love her so much

Sam’s flask

Sam’s shirts

Matt noticing when Sam’s wearing one of his Matt Shirts and how much it derails everything

Cad’s pep talks

The way that Travis switched the accent of his narration when Fjord was alone and panicking about losing his powers to match how he was scared back into his real accent. It was a tiny touch but y'all I loved it

Henry

Watching Matt when Marisha As Beau is being a badass and trying to catch his poker face crack into heart eyes even tho it rarely ever happens

But when it does it’s like glimpsing a shooting star and everything is right with the world

Matt’s blatant, open, not even slightly hidden heart eyes at his wife at every other second they’re on screen together

Like couples episodes of Talks are my actual favourite bc how the palpable adoration in the room for every frame

All the times out of game (announcements and after the game and also on Talks) when they slip into random accents and voices

Did I mention Henry?

Also how much they celebrate when Ashley returns from the war Blindspot

The celebrations when Matt brings out a guest, especially when it’s situations like Chris where they aren’t expecting it

The euphoria when they get that crucial Nat20

In expansion, True Love’s Crit

Just

True Love’s Crit

When they catch Matt’s plan so perfectly that he can’t even try to keep a poker face and he’s just so proud of them

When they solve a tricky puzzle or describe a really badass hdywdt for something they’ve been stuck on for ages and he looks at them almost like what I imagine a proud father would look like

Just those moments he’s proud of his friends for figuring it out I live for those moments and that specific smile

Oh yea! Those moments where one of them describes a particularly brutal and grusome hdywdt and Matt gives that look of horror that devolves into delirious laughter

The times Tal perfectly calls a roll (usually a Nat20) and everyone celebrates while Matt looks legitimately scared

this one’s a few days late due to having a lot of doctors appointments sorry it’s  just 9 pages, and about some rats… it’s more symbolic than anything really

They become a familiar sight in the marketplace.

“Here’s your change, ma'am. One gold piece.” The merchant holds out a palm, on top of which rests a tiny, brilliantly colored creature clutching a single gold coin.

“That’s a dragon,” you say dumbly. “One piece… and a dragon.”

“Yes.”

You cautiously reach out and attempt to take your change. You tug. It holds. You tug harder. The dragon lets loose a tiny, protective growl.

“Ma'am–no, ma'am, you have to take the dragon, too.”

“Sorry?”

The seller notes your dubious expression. “Not from around here, are ya?” They shrug. “Them’s the rules. Take the coin, take the dragon.”

They wait expectantly. Wondering how the world has so suddenly gone mad, you slowly, slowly hold out your hand.

The dragon perks right up. It scampers from their palm to yours with the coin clamped in its jaws and scales your sleeve with sharp little claws.

“Have a nice day, ma'am,” the merchant says. “Spend him soon, now, you hear? At another booth, if you can. He likes to travel.”

just so you know, X Gon’ Give It To Ya’ and A Thousand Miles have the same BPM
