okay, I’m going full red string over the last episode. mainly because if queen amangeaux (put some goddamn respect on her name) had a child with her husband, wouldn’t that have solved all her problems? Sure, it would make her a target but the bishop was already warning her to lay low at the festival, and at least this would’ve secured her place on the throne until her child came of age. Unless she knew she was pregnant and then she decided not to say anything in trying to follow the bishop’s advice? Or she didn’t know at the time and then everything popped off. But that makes the baby at least a year and 3/4 months (if we use human pregnancy as the timeline??) and the baby read more as a newborn to me? Also in the adventuring party when they discussed the bishop’s secret, Anjali pointed out that he could’ve been poisoning her or her husband with the tea leaves to stop her from producing an heir. which could be a red herring, or could mean that the baby belongs to someone other than her husband, hence why she’s hidden him away. which would make sense since the coloring is a little different. So either the baby isn’t hers biologically and is just in her care, she had an affair while her husband was still alive, the baby is the true heir, or she got pregnant in the two year time jump.

how the fuck am I losing my mind over a mango’s sex life how did I get here

[Being nosy about your tags] I feel the same way about CR but watch Calamity. It's shot and structured different from D20 that made it hard for me to focus sometimes, but I found playing at 1.5 speed (something I otherwise never do) during combat sequences helped me stick around and boy. If you've ever wanted to see Brennan use his powers for absolute emotional devastation (and get real psychosexual with a paladin), there's some amazing storytelling in Calamity. Also Lou and Aabria oh my god.

ooooooo 1.5 speed is SMART!

"get real psychosexual with a paladin" is the single greatest selling point for calamity i have ever heard, do you know how much i love paladins and fucking with paladins and playing paladins and paladins being hurt emotionally sort of just in general. i am absolutely gonna have to actually sit down and watch now. ive seen enough out of context clips to know im going to be emotionally obliterated, and knowing brennan it's gonna be so much more painful than im even imagining. im legitimately more excited about watching now!

speaking of aabria and lou, are you a podcast person and ARE YOU GONNA LISTEN TO WORLDS BEYOND NUMBER? i forgot when it launched and i haven't listened to the first episode yet, but letting brennan and aabria and lou and erika ishii go ham on their own podcast is just dhshahshfjfkem

and if you are a podcast person, are you a comedy person, because if so you should listen to the adventure zone's spiritbreakers one shot from a while back because aabria is amazing and i love her
