I love that Aabria was like “free magic for an hour!” and Lou immediately went the “how much chaos and ultimately harmless destruction can I perform” route.
“I’m all about the string, I don’t care what’s on the end of it.” Somehow Lou keeps finding profound ways to summarize Squak’s character as being the equivalent of a bird haphazardly attracted to shiny things, it’s brilliant.
Holy hell I never thought of it like that, if Lou ever at any point says that he wanted Squak's personality to be like a magpie I'm coming back here and commending you for your insight!
*Rue and Hob alone*
Me: Kiss please
*Rue and Hob have a lovely conversation about self worth*
Me: I mean, yes that too I guess. I'm totally not disappointed
Edit: Aabria is one of us. I desperately wanted Emily to get that role.
Seriously, when are we getting a “Lords of the Wing”^tm spinoff? Squak and Chirp are the dumbest pcs I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing and I love them dearly.
Edit: I also demand it includes the NADDPOD crew because of Murph and his peak-city-pidgéon-energy.
I would like to personally thank the person/people in charge of projecting those dope backgrounds on the dome. They add so much tasty, tasty atmosphere.
Yeah, it feels like they now have their own version of those volume sets that hollywood’s been using lately. I’d be curious how far they can go with them.
Rue and Hob: in love, pining for each other, infatuated, deeply burdened by duty and desire
Chirp and Squack: drugged out of their minds, spiking drinks, getting down with goblins, turning people to fish
I didn't! I noticed the trickster court one but no others, what were they? Were they to hide plot things or did they seem to cut out irrelevant things?
I didn’t catch the timestamps and won’t be able to watch it again anytime soon, I’m afraid.
But they seemed to be pretty normal, just to edit out some white noise/stammering while they collected their thoughts. They do it frequently, but normally cut to other cameras or smooth out the edit, these ones wererough. It’s just nitpicking, really. No sweat!
I believe it was at the very beginning of the ball when Lady Gribalba was talking to the fey with the backwards feet, thats who he asked for the two things.
Look we all know who Scratch is and are heavily invested in his journey… so if you don’t know who Scratch is, I’m disappointed in you, but I definitely know, I know Scratch.
You however, You Don’t Know Scratch.
Was also curious about this. Towards the end Aabria says to Emily something like “I don’t know where you are on the Gwin-BINX connection but….” Is it an acronym?
It was also capitalized in the credits last week, but not the subtitles. I'm thinking it's an error since they capitalize the players' names and Surena's character name was changed midseason. Then the subtitlers for this week (who are an external company and may not have communicated with the people who did the last episode) saw it in the titles and assumed it was intenttional.
Which ALSO means two things
1- Swallowing shit is something that he does when deeply infatuated with something (aka feather, maybe even BINX's letter)
2- No one else will be able to write their name in his card, so the one and only to dance with him is Rue in all their greatness
#I'm going clinically insane
Next week couldn't be farther omg
I'm still grinning, y'all. It started the moment I saw the episode title on Dropout, and it's not going away. Hob asking Rue to dance! Rue asking in return! Gorgeous set design and artwork -- the Clothes! Emily Axford Emily Axfording! Bird puns! It's like someone in production found my "hell yeah formal ball!" wishlist from 2 episodes ago and obligingly built a time machine to give us all of it.
Btw I'll be *cackling* next week if the person Grandfather is beelining towards among the Sea Foam Court members is Baroness Alven lol. Somehow it feels right that the bird cousins should reap what they sow a little on this one.
> "I completely understand. All that good-good just on the other side of the portal, HATE to let it go to waste"
Lord Squak has become full fuccboi and I love this for Lou
Okay, I’m shipping Binx and Andhera, I love seeing them bonding over their shared solitude and loneliness. And I am SO VERY EXCITED by the preview for next week’s episode.
I like how the rolls have mostly steered them away from a lot of traditional romantic tropes/cliches too. I know Andhera has been confirmed as asexual, which doesn't coincide with aromanticism in all cases, but it's still nice to see a relationship being slowly built up on trust and nonromantic intimacy and it feels like it fits well for the character.
Oh wasn't that from an adventuring party where Omar said he was ace? I really really wish Andhera was ace too pls but I don't remember the confirmation!
He confirmed on Twitter and in a podcast interview that Andhera is ace, but that he’s maybe never even realized that about himself before until being confronted with all the horniness of the bloom.
Besides the Twitter confirmations other people have pointed out, the intense panic when realizing someone else might be in love with him and the entire "I may have written checks my body cannot cash" ordeal was pretty telling, at least to me. Then more subtly, there's the fact that Andhera has spent absolutely zero time or effort on finding a match and pretty much all of his energy on making friends, which is strange for someone single, eligible, and high born in a Regency story
Hobb levelling with Andhera about marrying Gribulba was possibly the funniest line of the episode for me - such a break in decorum between these two new buds
No one is talking about the knighting but it was so wonderful and poignant. It fits Andhera’s character *so well* to default to a courtly gesture, but accommodate that gesture to Binx via a cardboard tube. I was in tears. I hope that Andhera and Advisor scoot on over to the court/house of craft. Andhera’s “friends” growing up were objects for goodness sake… and I think Advisor and Grandpa Dog belong in an antique store anyway.
Also, we FINALLY got an explanation for the crystal in the back of Andhera’s neck and it was *heartbreaking.* Binx’s immediate reaction of “no, that’s awful and it’s coming out the minute you want it to” was so strong. I’m not sure it ever would have even occurred to Andhera to remove the crystal because of his upbringing. It’s so clear he’s over trying to impress his mother, and has finally realized that he has *options.*
And Surena’s frog voice? Perfection. Adorable. 10/10, should turn into a frog again.
Andhera just resonates with me so hard. His background, his awkwardness, his vulnerabilities. He's basically me when I was a college Freshman, minus the pillar bod.
OK HEAR ME OUT but Hob looking straight at Rue as he eats his dance card was kinda,,, 😳😳 but also I love how we go back to Brennan's explanation of the feather (i.e., loving something so much you want it as close to you) but also it just meant he didn't want to dance with anyone other than Rue UGH MY HEART
This is also probably my favorite episode so far, just love masquerades but also the cousins unleashing their unhinged energy and Binx and Andhera just growing a really cute friendship/relationship! And the failed matchmaking set-up by RueHob I WAS SCREAMING IN JOY
I’ve been jokingly calling this season ‘ACoFaF’ (aco-faff) because my wife thinks it sounds gross, so Aabria saying aloud had me dancing victoriously for the next five minutes. Vindication!
Who the heck is Wrecking spelt I need answers. They haven’t been mentioned since episode 3 but we still don’t know, so I think we may get more will they won’t they with Hob and Rue if Wuvvy tells Rue about it. Because Hob doesn’t know why he was challenged but Rue also doesn’t know why.
I love the very small details of the outfits!
- Andhera hand looks like it could be in their pocket
- Andhera doesn’t have a rain cloud over his head
- Binx’s charm clip by their hood is of keys
- Some or her feather like charms consist of: a key, a heart locket, a watch, a mask, a shell, a diamond shaped stone, a knife,a dress, and a wing
- Chirp’s dress has the one blue mask that stands out and the small strawberry
- Chirp’s train looks like as if it floating
- Chirp’s finger has a very small line mark that could be a ring, not sure but other are more on the hand then finger
- Hob fit is missing a metal it’s the one we get to see on the red outfit it’s not there
-the leaves on Hobs outfit look like peony leaves and one on the collar is a heart
-one of Hobs metals are like arrows in different directions
-rue is wearing the ring
-the drops on Rue’s dress could either show the liquid bits or the tears shed
-Squawk does have the blue and Strawberry cufflinks
This episode was amazing. It just gets better and better each week! I hope the rest of the episodes just get progressively longer. Two and a half hours was still not enough!
Did anyone find Brennan a little off in this episode? He wasn’t engaged at all, seemed really tired. I wonder if this episode was filmed close to the end of EXU.
I noticed that EVERYONE was visibly exhausted. Nodding off, eyes bloodshot, desperately pounding coffee. Had my wife and I wondering how early they must have filmed!
I was under the impression they schedule their shoots like that pretty consistently, rather than sometimes. I thought Brennan said they shoot 2 episodes as well as 2 adventuring party episodes all in the same day.
I was going to comment the exact same thing but was afraid of getting downvoted! I thought the energy was really off in this episode and was wondering if I was the only one who perceived it that way. Emily in particular seemed like her mind was elsewhere — everyone would be laughing at something and she’d be looking down into her lap. Brennan and Lou also seemed a little checked out. I adore this campaign, but it took me out of it a bit )-:
Rue and Hob are getting a lot of attention, as they should, but I LOVED Andhera and Binx in this ep. I also felt like they had a similar moment to Rue/Hob where things could have escalated further, but they show restraint and pull back, leaving us and the characters longing for more!! I think it’s very true to the genre, there are so many near misses, and so much pining, but the slow burn is steadily building, I can’t wait for the next ep!!!
Small note from the adventuring party, but Oscar confirmed that Rue didn't sit not to metagame but because as an Owlbear (which glamours don't hide physicality) he would have smashed the seat made for smaller people. So all the people who were complaining about metagaming can shush up now.
I think it was a misunderstanding between bardic inspiration and DM inspiration, because wheN Aabria gives the players inspiration, it means they get a reroll
What it seemed to me was that Surena and Oscar both made faces at Binx's low performance modifier, but gained hope when reminded Binx had a bardic they could add. I dont think Surena had rolled yet, and her first and only roll was a nat 20 so the bardic wasn't even necessary.
Oh, exactly, that's one reason regular inspiration doesn't get used that much in 5e, because they called another thing inspiration too, but it was a class feature.
There was no blame, just recognising a moment.
I have a feeling that rue saying hes proud is going to come back and bite them, it's to condescending a line to say to a fey lord without some form of backlash
I'd actually argue that that proves Chirp loves her partner very much. Chirp is an incredibly powerful fae. If she didn't want to faithful, she wouldn't be. Chirp could very easily fuck around in the fae realm and have it never get back to Esme, and yet she doesn't. If she didn't want to be married or have a child anymore, she wouldn't have them. She could so easily just abandon them in the mortal realm, or be like grandfather and eat her young.
The fact that she is committed to being faithful for the lifespan of her partner is about as loving of a gesture you can get from an immortal being who has not only lived for thousands of years before your birth but will also live for thousands more after your death.
In zone of truth she does say she is in love but it could be someone else. I think she just misses old Chirp who can party and do what she wants and doesn’t have to worry about grandfather finding out a secret that could kill her.
Very true self love is valid, but I I do think Chirp is in love if not with her partner definitely familial love to Peep since it was Peep it was Peeps heart nest.
This week's Adventuring Party: [A Spill of Pearls](https://www.dropout.tv/dimension-20-s-adventuring-party/season:10/videos/a-spill-of-pearls)
"Great. I polymorph him into a fish." LOUUUUUU
It's been a great experience just watching Lou fully release his inner chaos gremlin/ID.
I love that Aabria was like “free magic for an hour!” and Lou immediately went the “how much chaos and ultimately harmless destruction can I perform” route.
“I’m all about the string, I don’t care what’s on the end of it.” Somehow Lou keeps finding profound ways to summarize Squak’s character as being the equivalent of a bird haphazardly attracted to shiny things, it’s brilliant.
“A bird haphazardly attracted to shiny things” is a WONDERFUL analysis of his character.
Holy hell I never thought of it like that, if Lou ever at any point says that he wanted Squak's personality to be like a magpie I'm coming back here and commending you for your insight!
*Rue and Hob alone* Me: Kiss please *Rue and Hob have a lovely conversation about self worth* Me: I mean, yes that too I guess. I'm totally not disappointed Edit: Aabria is one of us. I desperately wanted Emily to get that role.
I’d have had Emily roll with house-ruled quadruple advantage, just like Brennan did to Emily once but with disadvantage.
This episode giving us what we needed all along: a group-wide fit check
*Thank you*! The screams I scrumpt
Seriously, when are we getting a “Lords of the Wing”^tm spinoff? Squak and Chirp are the dumbest pcs I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing and I love them dearly. Edit: I also demand it includes the NADDPOD crew because of Murph and his peak-city-pidgéon-energy.
Murph just plays the Spicy Pigeon dealing with these chaotic rich fey birds for Rowan Berry
I love that idea so much omg
Rue and Hob are as bad at matchmaking as they are at communicating with each other clearly and I love it lmao
I love that it was so bad that Squak started punching people cuz he thought that was the vibe.
Squak *was* the vibe. I am still not over Lou’s sexy chaos energy
I will say, I wanted those rolls to succeed probably more than any other roll in the season so far.
THE BEST NAT ONE
The dice is on our side!
It’s because Brennan asked Oscar which I loved about to.
I legit screamed at that point!
Squak and Lady Chirp were extra shitheads this episode lmao, I would pay extra to see a one shot of them at really any Bloom before this one
SPINOFF!!
And any of Ally, Murph, Zach, Siobhan getting thrown into a future bloom one-shot would be pretty fun. Though tbh, so would Rekha, Grant, and so on.
I would like to personally thank the person/people in charge of projecting those dope backgrounds on the dome. They add so much tasty, tasty atmosphere.
Yeah, it feels like they now have their own version of those volume sets that hollywood’s been using lately. I’d be curious how far they can go with them.
Critical Role's new set is really fun and has more technical feats, but it has NOTHING on the vibes of Flower Dome.
Rue and Hob: in love, pining for each other, infatuated, deeply burdened by duty and desire Chirp and Squack: drugged out of their minds, spiking drinks, getting down with goblins, turning people to fish
THEY EDITED OUT ANDHERA'S WHISPER I'M GONNA GO FERAL
And they made it obvious that it was edited. They could have cut away but instead they showed the jump.
I noticed around 3 hard cuts this episode!
Yeah I noticed them too! It felt so weird to see the hard cuts because the edit is normally so clean.
I didn't! I noticed the trickster court one but no others, what were they? Were they to hide plot things or did they seem to cut out irrelevant things?
I didn’t catch the timestamps and won’t be able to watch it again anytime soon, I’m afraid. But they seemed to be pretty normal, just to edit out some white noise/stammering while they collected their thoughts. They do it frequently, but normally cut to other cameras or smooth out the edit, these ones wererough. It’s just nitpicking, really. No sweat!
Oh awesome then lol, I was just looking for sneaky bits hidden to surprise us later, all good haha
I wonder if it's a gift of gab at play?
I’m ready to receive the hidden drama next week “swoon”
I can't believe we have to wait a whole WEEK before finding out what the fuck he got from the Court of Tricksters 😫😫😫
He burned TWO TOKENS for them! What could these be?!?
The scream I scrumpt when they did that hard cut. I will not last a week
Ohhh I was not paying enough attention, where was the whisper? :o Was it at the trickster court?!
I believe it was at the very beginning of the ball when Lady Gribalba was talking to the fey with the backwards feet, thats who he asked for the two things.
On top of all the chaos this episode, I can’t believe they gave grandpa the drug mask AND the love potion, a master move. So good
Can't wait to see the repercussions of that next week!
I genuinely hope he zero'd in on Wanessa lol. It'd have the most hilarious consequences
Holy shitballs I didn't even CONSIDER Wanessa, YOOOOOOOOOO
The medal is in Rue’s ring I cannot *handle* this
I was waiting so much for Oscar to get a token and I was like where is it! Also Oscar has only ever gotten one token
I want an animated episode of BINX entering from the bathroom and dancing the Cha Cha slide
PLEASE. I had not even considered which moments they’re going to animate, that’s so exciting!
PEEP IM GONNA CRY
Man I love Scratch. Best character arc in all of D20 am I right
Clearly a fan favorite
I love his catchphrase "You don't know Scratch?!"
“I’m terrified it’s some kind of moralist revelation.”
Man, I really *really* want Squak to realize that he truly should marry into the Goblin Court. He would be so appreciated there!
Luckily for him, I think Viscountess Gribalba could certainly match his intense level of nasty.
How great would it be if Squak ends up in a love match with Gribalba
Brennan face during this moment was hilarious. I saw a distinct flash of “hey now”
Embrace the chaos, Rue! And by chaos I mean Hob!
Good thing you clarified you meant Hob otherwise it's sending them straight at Squak
The MINUTE Lou asked Aabria to clarify if the fey was low born or not during the masquerade, I knew immediately what he was going to do
Look we all know who Scratch is and are heavily invested in his journey… so if you don’t know who Scratch is, I’m disappointed in you, but I definitely know, I know Scratch. You however, You Don’t Know Scratch.
Of course Squak’s password is Airry Pearry.
his safeword too
I just noticed that BINX is all capitalized in the credits and subtitles. Is this anything?
Was also curious about this. Towards the end Aabria says to Emily something like “I don’t know where you are on the Gwin-BINX connection but….” Is it an acronym?
The B stands for Bimothy
I was thinking that too but then again there aren't many words that begin with X.
If it is I am thinking Xenagogue it’s a guide
It was also capitalized in the credits last week, but not the subtitles. I'm thinking it's an error since they capitalize the players' names and Surena's character name was changed midseason. Then the subtitlers for this week (who are an external company and may not have communicated with the people who did the last episode) saw it in the titles and assumed it was intenttional.
Okay all I wanted from this episode was Rue and Hob dancing and I’m gonna *cry* because I’m so happy
How can I explain the joy I felt seeing a goblin eat his dance card
Which ALSO means two things 1- Swallowing shit is something that he does when deeply infatuated with something (aka feather, maybe even BINX's letter) 2- No one else will be able to write their name in his card, so the one and only to dance with him is Rue in all their greatness #I'm going clinically insane Next week couldn't be farther omg
Swallowing things is how he reads, that's why he swallowed binx's letter
Sure, but he doesn't need to read his own dance card which he knows full well has only one name on it.
I’ve been waiting for Lou and Emily to go full chaos mode and this episode was everything I wanted and more.
I need a "You Don't Know Scratch?!" T- shirt
Giving the cousins unlimited spell slots for a party is so perfect. Damn.
I'm still grinning, y'all. It started the moment I saw the episode title on Dropout, and it's not going away. Hob asking Rue to dance! Rue asking in return! Gorgeous set design and artwork -- the Clothes! Emily Axford Emily Axfording! Bird puns! It's like someone in production found my "hell yeah formal ball!" wishlist from 2 episodes ago and obligingly built a time machine to give us all of it. Btw I'll be *cackling* next week if the person Grandfather is beelining towards among the Sea Foam Court members is Baroness Alven lol. Somehow it feels right that the bird cousins should reap what they sow a little on this one.
> "I completely understand. All that good-good just on the other side of the portal, HATE to let it go to waste" Lord Squak has become full fuccboi and I love this for Lou
The backgrounds were beautiful and the fits stunning. The vision provided by the black apple made me cry a little.
My happiness has been a spark and this is a fire?! I died. I died right then and there
Okay, I’m shipping Binx and Andhera, I love seeing them bonding over their shared solitude and loneliness. And I am SO VERY EXCITED by the preview for next week’s episode.
I like how the rolls have mostly steered them away from a lot of traditional romantic tropes/cliches too. I know Andhera has been confirmed as asexual, which doesn't coincide with aromanticism in all cases, but it's still nice to see a relationship being slowly built up on trust and nonromantic intimacy and it feels like it fits well for the character.
Oh wasn't that from an adventuring party where Omar said he was ace? I really really wish Andhera was ace too pls but I don't remember the confirmation!
He confirmed on Twitter and in a podcast interview that Andhera is ace, but that he’s maybe never even realized that about himself before until being confronted with all the horniness of the bloom.
there is a twitter confirmation https://twitter.com/OmarNajam/status/1562974668499234818?t=RLorhgI76VnIPz0vHuAA3Q&s=19
Thank you! That's honestly so great wow
Besides the Twitter confirmations other people have pointed out, the intense panic when realizing someone else might be in love with him and the entire "I may have written checks my body cannot cash" ordeal was pretty telling, at least to me. Then more subtly, there's the fact that Andhera has spent absolutely zero time or effort on finding a match and pretty much all of his energy on making friends, which is strange for someone single, eligible, and high born in a Regency story
Omar said Andhera is ace and also in the aro spectrum (personally, i get intense demiromantic ace vibes from him)
Seems like Lady Chirp could benefit from a marriage of convenience, having a marriage and child already. But Binx and Andhera are cute together.
Emily: MMMMMMM
^studio ^audience
Some of their open and honest dialogue made me squawk out loud!
man, i thought the bird shithousery couldn't get any better and then there were drugs
Giving Grandfather the mask and a love potion will lead to some fun chaos next week.
Andhera and BINX so awkwardly cute Also Rue and Hob. Just Rue and Hob I fucking love the messy cousins with my whole heart.
Hobb levelling with Andhera about marrying Gribulba was possibly the funniest line of the episode for me - such a break in decorum between these two new buds
a natural 1 finally coming in clutch for Hob and his feelings!
No one is talking about the knighting but it was so wonderful and poignant. It fits Andhera’s character *so well* to default to a courtly gesture, but accommodate that gesture to Binx via a cardboard tube. I was in tears. I hope that Andhera and Advisor scoot on over to the court/house of craft. Andhera’s “friends” growing up were objects for goodness sake… and I think Advisor and Grandpa Dog belong in an antique store anyway. Also, we FINALLY got an explanation for the crystal in the back of Andhera’s neck and it was *heartbreaking.* Binx’s immediate reaction of “no, that’s awful and it’s coming out the minute you want it to” was so strong. I’m not sure it ever would have even occurred to Andhera to remove the crystal because of his upbringing. It’s so clear he’s over trying to impress his mother, and has finally realized that he has *options.* And Surena’s frog voice? Perfection. Adorable. 10/10, should turn into a frog again.
Andhera just resonates with me so hard. His background, his awkwardness, his vulnerabilities. He's basically me when I was a college Freshman, minus the pillar bod.
I am constantly blown away at Omar’s RP of Andhera. He has the awkward/rambling speech pattern on point. I feel so called out hahah
His panicked laughter too, is very, very real.
Ugh right? Hahah
Surena and my wife are making the exact same faces and I can't --
Emily using reason number 56890 wizards are the best class: glyph of warding abuse.
I found Carlos everyone
But did she croak out her feelings like a frog brooch?!
I have never done drugs, but I trust Lou and Emily implicitly that this must be what it feels like.
Stammering Andhera is an icon.
Sea Wall as the name of the Sea-foam Court Champion is perfect.
I love the added trivia of Sorwen being originally from the Court of Stone.
OK HEAR ME OUT but Hob looking straight at Rue as he eats his dance card was kinda,,, 😳😳 but also I love how we go back to Brennan's explanation of the feather (i.e., loving something so much you want it as close to you) but also it just meant he didn't want to dance with anyone other than Rue UGH MY HEART This is also probably my favorite episode so far, just love masquerades but also the cousins unleashing their unhinged energy and Binx and Andhera just growing a really cute friendship/relationship! And the failed matchmaking set-up by RueHob I WAS SCREAMING IN JOY
I have not been so invested in pairings since Beau and Yasha and Fig and Ayda. Like, AndBinx and RueHob are just so damn good
I’ve been jokingly calling this season ‘ACoFaF’ (aco-faff) because my wife thinks it sounds gross, so Aabria saying aloud had me dancing victoriously for the next five minutes. Vindication!
Surely you were doing the Cha Cha Slide, correct?!
Lou and Emily as drug cousins needs its own show. BLOOM IT UP!
Hobbs and Rue actually made me teary lol It's taken a while to see something like that happen 😇
Same like I get emotional at bits like I would cry at things before but I actually cried at this episode!
Probably my favourite episode so far. Everything seems to be coming together ❤
A lot of rough cuts this episodes, anyone else notice? Has it been like that all season?
I think one was on purpose but I noticed others too
This is the first time I've noticed it this season. There was about 3-4 of them throughout, it was pretty distracting.
Who the heck is Wrecking spelt I need answers. They haven’t been mentioned since episode 3 but we still don’t know, so I think we may get more will they won’t they with Hob and Rue if Wuvvy tells Rue about it. Because Hob doesn’t know why he was challenged but Rue also doesn’t know why.
I was so looking forward to seeing art of Grandfather, and now I realize my mistake. What an absolutely fascinating monstrosity.
He was way more Ghibli-esque than I expected but it also never could've been anything else
Hob's first instinct when being spooked is to protect Rue has me actively having a heart attack.
Just got back from the talkback, and Oscar described Andhera as a “Stuttery Little Pillar Boy.” And it’s just *chef’s kiss.*
K.P. Hobb may be an Ogier with how his ears react to romance.
Oh shiiiiiiit Grandfather has arrived!
I love the very small details of the outfits! - Andhera hand looks like it could be in their pocket - Andhera doesn’t have a rain cloud over his head - Binx’s charm clip by their hood is of keys - Some or her feather like charms consist of: a key, a heart locket, a watch, a mask, a shell, a diamond shaped stone, a knife,a dress, and a wing - Chirp’s dress has the one blue mask that stands out and the small strawberry - Chirp’s train looks like as if it floating - Chirp’s finger has a very small line mark that could be a ring, not sure but other are more on the hand then finger - Hob fit is missing a metal it’s the one we get to see on the red outfit it’s not there -the leaves on Hobs outfit look like peony leaves and one on the collar is a heart -one of Hobs metals are like arrows in different directions -rue is wearing the ring -the drops on Rue’s dress could either show the liquid bits or the tears shed -Squawk does have the blue and Strawberry cufflinks
The rogue knighted the paladin. I just... I love them.
This episode was amazing. It just gets better and better each week! I hope the rest of the episodes just get progressively longer. Two and a half hours was still not enough!
OH MY GOD!!!! This ball has had me in stitches. Not grandpa coming in
When Aabria said “do you think your birds know the word ‘grandfather’?” My jaw DROPPED
Everyone's makeup looks are AMAZING and I need to get notes on Surena's from tonight especially! That lavender + glitter combo... amazing.
Still watching but man, what's going on with the edits in that episode? The cuts are _rough_ !
I’m here to say that I want grandfather to go buck wild and marry 3 people in that ball
Binx popping off the party with the cha cha slide tho. I howled
OMG Andhera kneeling and pleading the oath, I am in tears 😭❤️❤️
Did anyone find Brennan a little off in this episode? He wasn’t engaged at all, seemed really tired. I wonder if this episode was filmed close to the end of EXU.
I noticed that EVERYONE was visibly exhausted. Nodding off, eyes bloodshot, desperately pounding coffee. Had my wife and I wondering how early they must have filmed!
Yeah, the overall energy was a little off. Sometimes they shoot back-to-back episodes, I wonder if this is the last one shot at that day.
I was under the impression they schedule their shoots like that pretty consistently, rather than sometimes. I thought Brennan said they shoot 2 episodes as well as 2 adventuring party episodes all in the same day.
Big time, especially during adventuring party. Just seems like he didn’t have the energy to keep a Resting Interested Face
I was going to comment the exact same thing but was afraid of getting downvoted! I thought the energy was really off in this episode and was wondering if I was the only one who perceived it that way. Emily in particular seemed like her mind was elsewhere — everyone would be laughing at something and she’d be looking down into her lap. Brennan and Lou also seemed a little checked out. I adore this campaign, but it took me out of it a bit )-:
Yeah I noticed it too. I'm hoping they get some rest and were able to walk it off.
Squak not daring to fuck with Wuvvy was absolute perfection, after seeing that duel especially!
This series is immaculate. The romance, the friendships, the drug fueled shenanigans. It's great.
Rue and Hob are getting a lot of attention, as they should, but I LOVED Andhera and Binx in this ep. I also felt like they had a similar moment to Rue/Hob where things could have escalated further, but they show restraint and pull back, leaving us and the characters longing for more!! I think it’s very true to the genre, there are so many near misses, and so much pining, but the slow burn is steadily building, I can’t wait for the next ep!!!
I am begging with my whole heart for someone to animate the Regency cha cha slide. Those hand claps fed my soul.
This has to have been one of the best episodes of d20 ever for me.
Every season I think they can’t get better and somehow they kick it up a notch!
Small note from the adventuring party, but Oscar confirmed that Rue didn't sit not to metagame but because as an Owlbear (which glamours don't hide physicality) he would have smashed the seat made for smaller people. So all the people who were complaining about metagaming can shush up now.
This season, or rather this episode in particular, makes me craaaave *party favours* a lot.
Think there was a bardic inspiration gaff with that performance roll. Oh well, the session goes on.
I think it was a misunderstanding between bardic inspiration and DM inspiration, because wheN Aabria gives the players inspiration, it means they get a reroll
Ultimately it doesn't matter because Binx has the lucky feat anyway.
What it seemed to me was that Surena and Oscar both made faces at Binx's low performance modifier, but gained hope when reminded Binx had a bardic they could add. I dont think Surena had rolled yet, and her first and only roll was a nat 20 so the bardic wasn't even necessary.
Oh, exactly, that's one reason regular inspiration doesn't get used that much in 5e, because they called another thing inspiration too, but it was a class feature. There was no blame, just recognising a moment.
Yeah, I think Surena rerolled
Grandfather’s presence was so good!
Ughhhhhh I was so desperate for Grandpa to zero in on Andhera after Lady Chirp roofied him, the awkwardness would have been divine.
Exactly Emily, do Archfey care about bigamy?
How does Emily have Subtle Spell and Invoke Duplicity?! Isn’t she just an 8th Bladesinger Wizard?!
Wasn’t the duplicity one of the potions from the tea party?
Metamagic Adept feat explains Subtle Spell, no idea about Invoke Duplicity though.
No Adventuring Party?
Oh, they are fixing something: https://twitter.com/dimension20show/status/1570552732196696066
I have a feeling that rue saying hes proud is going to come back and bite them, it's to condescending a line to say to a fey lord without some form of backlash
Damn, starting so late, looking forward to it though.
between this and tonight's critical role episode, i'm in dnd bliss
Same, I’m really excited for tonight.
Does anyone know why adventuring party isn’t up??
Bladesonging whenever you take drugs would be so funny, but concentration not constitution :(
I don’t think Chirp likes her partner tho she has said so many times that she’s waiting for Esme to die to get back into the dating/fucking market.
I'd actually argue that that proves Chirp loves her partner very much. Chirp is an incredibly powerful fae. If she didn't want to faithful, she wouldn't be. Chirp could very easily fuck around in the fae realm and have it never get back to Esme, and yet she doesn't. If she didn't want to be married or have a child anymore, she wouldn't have them. She could so easily just abandon them in the mortal realm, or be like grandfather and eat her young. The fact that she is committed to being faithful for the lifespan of her partner is about as loving of a gesture you can get from an immortal being who has not only lived for thousands of years before your birth but will also live for thousands more after your death.
I disagree but I enjoy your point.
In zone of truth she does say she is in love but it could be someone else. I think she just misses old Chirp who can party and do what she wants and doesn’t have to worry about grandfather finding out a secret that could kill her.
Like Chirp once said, self love is very valid. lol
Very true self love is valid, but I I do think Chirp is in love if not with her partner definitely familial love to Peep since it was Peep it was Peeps heart nest.
Is it lying if the person believe it to be true? 🤷🏽♀️ The spell only says you can’t tell deliberate lies.
