annaline saying “now we know what your sound is.” and chetney softly correcting her, saying “our sound.” intent on including the rest of the hells, his found family, the ones who howled with him, the ones who traveled to find him help and training, the people willing to hold him accountable, the people he wants to help and protect,,,

chetney pock o’pea is The character of all time and i’m sorry if you do not get him the way that i do because he is so !!!!! just an old man, who has felt like he’s had no purpose for hundreds of years, finally forming a family after so long. he mentioned the family he was born into not being close, so this is probably the first group of people he’s really felt loved and safe in since he was born hundreds of years ago.
and yes he is hilarious, and he does some silly goofy things but there’s so much more to him than just that. chetney running the bath for imogen after the casino because he know how difficult crowded places were for her. chetney checking in with her after they faced her mother. chetney calling her councilwomen temult in her hometown to impress the people that shunned her. chetney listening to orym talk about his husband, telling orym that he was sure will was really happy with him, and then crafting something honor orym and will’s relationship. chetney pleading for fearne to have something to bring orym back after he was killed.
chetney telling fearne’s mother that fearne deserved an explanation for leaving her. chetney asking about nana morri, using cloth to make her dolls to play with after she learned the truth about her parents. chetney being trusted to carve the wooden box for her parents, and making it look beautiful for fearne. chetney not making fun of laudna for her puppets, and instead making them a house for her to play with. laudna hugging chetney. chetney checking on her after fcg attacked. chetney asking about laudna’s hands when she seemed upset after their reunion, and his words being the reason they got to see laudna in the fucked up version of whitestone.
chetney comforting fcg after they attacked the group, chetney checking in with fcg about their emotions and making him a toy to better express himself. chetney always trying to protect, whether it be protecting fcg from shithead or trying to get otohan’s attention when she was headed towards fearne. chetney comforting deanna after frida refused her hug, making frida a toy that depicts frida as a protector, because that’s what they both are. i think about the line he says in episode 42 sooo often when annaline tells chetney not to shit where he sleeps, and chetney replies “guess it only matters if you care where you sleep - that’s new for me.” this is the first time he feels like he has a home and a family and he would do anything for any of them.
chetney pock o’pea you are so loved by me!!!!

wait also I know many of us are in a Nein headspace right now but thinking about Bells Hells, it would be extremely fun if, either in Jrusar or on their way to the Tishtan site, the party ran into Dorao, the weretiger who turned Annaline and whom Chetney is honor-bound to kill. just a little violent sidequest.

Something really clarified for me about Chetney with tonight’s episode. Chetney has always felt like a character with a mix of absolutely wild, clashing aspects. Part of what’s so fun about Chetney is the absurdity of his character. But the conversation with Annaline made something click about Chetney. The woodworker and the werewolf finally coalescing into a cohesive character for me. Craving wood and carving runes, transferable skills between woodcarver and blood hunter. These two parts of Chetney which had previously felt so disparate, so absurd to be put together, seemed to suddenly shift and click together. Chetney may be learning how to manage the wolf but the skills of runes and carving is something he has trained in for much of his life. A master craftsman. There’s something really beautiful and almost profound and just cohesive here that I am in awe of.

annaline telling chetney “what we carry is heavy. those of us who lose the strength to do so, often it’s because we try and carry it alone. if they care about you, and they offer, let them help you carry it.”
(also I so appreciate matt structuring this trial both as a) sometimes people you love have things they will carry with them their whole lives and if you choose to be a part of their lives you must accept that it will be part of yours too and b) when you are that person with something to carry for the rest of your life, you must communicate clearly what you need and when you need it and accept help and so people can best care for both you and for themselves)

Annaline: We do our best to maintain an idea of this curse as a blessing. And for us, it has allowed us to do many great things. But it doesn't mean we've conquered it. This is a struggle we will live with for the rest of our lives, and not everyone has the mental fortitude to fight that long.
Chetney: Yeah. Life can be long. It could be short, but boy, it can really be long sometimes.

Noticing that Ashton is feeling a little insecure watching Annaline's work with her hammer and leaning over to them-, one hand gripping the thick handle strapped to his back and giving a small tug and going "Don't worry babe, I like yours more."
