I think he also illustrated well how these moments will become stories. opening with the mythos around the epiphany, describing the perspective of the soldiers seeing these fantastical powerful things... their individual deaths may be forgotten but the stories of the "heroes" will live on.
Really really really loved how Brennan showed the two different sides of this "combat"
The insane fantasy moments: the dreadnoughts, Eioghorain, Ame's curse, the chained dragon, everything with that last scene between the sorcerer and Steel. Devastating and scary, but also really cool
Intimately juxtaposed with small moments that brought the true light of horror back: realizing a solider is only 17 in his first battle where he will surely die, the acid damaging the land so it will know no life for generations to come, bodies of those that begged for an academy not to be demolished, Suvi recognizing the wizard she just killed. Just admissions that there are no winners here. Every part of this is a loss.
It makes everything feel so much more real
it feels like it'll be a Henry Sewastian type of deal and I'm here for it!
Based on his offhand comments about scholars / someone dating a scholar do we think that Boggy Rodgers is going to follow the grand NADDPOD tradition of being a character who’s obsessed with their ex.

HAMDHANDJ Boggys little "what" when Zudrick said he had eaten a person before like What do you mean Zuddy.....
not the silly little game show being a metaphor for the chaos of being alive. I came here for animal sounds and a bunch of buttholes
For all that we (correctly) decry Sam as a sick, sick man, the "Youlympics" twist was actually pretty sweet. Doing better on a second try because you learned from the first time around? Digging deep for a challenge and finding that you can do even better than that? That's not sadistic; it's satisfying.
(Except maybe having the cheese-eating challenge twice in two hours. That was rough.)
Other random thoughts:
Lest we forget, Brennan didn't put bacon in his pants to keep a cat in his lap, but to hide said bacon from Katie. And then Katie did it because Brennan did. Amazing sibling rivalry energy from those two.
And while Katie and Brennan might be the two most competitive people on Dropout, Ify isn't far behind - Sam absolutely picked those three for a reason and it worked a treat.
Especially because the only thing they prioritized above competition is standing against Sam.
"It's because she said 'buttholes' on the show! Grow up!"
Thank you to the lovely observant people who noticed that Sam does the Wenis if you jiggle the joystick on a jump; I was too busy having Ski Free flashbacks and hoping that jumping a dry tree would set it on fire.
It's probably because of the wreck of my current existence, but Brennan yelling on the podium about how they have no idea what the fuck they're doing, year after year, gave me some inadvertent feelings. I don't know what I'm doing either! I thought I did, but the game changed. But since the only way to win is by learning, well. I'll have to learn.
(So without further ado, let's begin!)
I was trying do hard to look normal at work while listening. I don't think I succeeded.
1) i didn't know you could have near-constant goosebumps for almost an hour and a half, but i have now experienced that, so that's special
2) WITCH CURSE FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN
3) my mouth was open for the last five minutes and my chest hurt from how little i was breathing. Brennan. You absolute maniac. WHAT WOULD SUVI LIKE TO DO AFTER ALL THAT, HUH?
they also get more fashionable, don't forget
Woah magic items for everyone 🥺 really really rad that they more they learn/get closer to age of stories the more magic they find
tumblr marking palestinian fundraisers as explicit content... it's just another attempt by staff to silence and harm people living under a genocide.
like palestinians have had their entire lives disrupted and can never ever go back to the old 'normal'. they're still being killed while the privileged argue whether or not what they're going through is a genocide.
to try to hurt a person living in an active genocide is beyond inhumane. there's no way to justify it.
i request everyone to please continue helping palestinians. kindly consider donating to alaa, a mother of two young children. help her afford necessities in this very difficult time.

mice and murder has always been one of my favorites!! the lock down madness was real
the way the dice were so adamant about Daisy's feelings!!
Rewatching Mice and Murder (CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED BTW) and I forgot how perfect Grant was as the metrosexual and dramatic yet incredibly shrewd detective. His one liners are simply unparalled and as someone who is OBSESSED with old-timey murder mysteries, I'm thoroughly entertained.
I don't think my enthusiasm is textually apparent / maybe there will be art / I like dnd things / any pronouns.
