🚨 SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 5 OF BURROW'S END!!!🚨
Dimension20 "Burrow's End"
Episode 5
Timestamp: 2:20:22
Video Length: 4min. & 42sec.
THIS SCENE!!!! THIS SCENE!!!! THE EMOTIONS!!!! THE EMOTIONS THAT BRENNAN JUST BRINGS TO THE TABLE WITH THIS CHARACTER!!!
It's SO STRONG AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! 😭😭✋✋
Tula has been losing every vote in terms of majority vote. 🥴🥴 I wonder if she's feeling sad or disappointed that everyone seems to be constantly voting against her. She's trying to protect her family but they all wanna put themselves at risk and fight monsters and discover more information about the blue. 🥲🥲
I understand fully where Tula is coming from. Running away seems like the better option. What else can you do but run?
But also.. Where can these stoats go that humans can't reach??? 🥲 There's already an army of stoats here ready and preparing for battle. What more could they do? Where else could they go that would be safer than where they are?? Especially with everything they have going down here. 🥲🥲
Also...Tula's little jab at Thorn about being a father? 🥲🥲 Ouch...🥲🥲 But Tula has a point. If confidence was all you needed, Geoffrey would still be there. 🥲🥲 It's so sad. 🥲🥲 Legit felt it when Aabria started crying. 🥲🥲🥲
Agh... This show...🥲🥲 I-... It's so real- 🥲🥲🥲 Fr crying all the tears until I can't no more. 🥲🥲😭😭❤️❤️

Burrow's End Theory
Similar to the Chernobyl clean up process, geoffrey was suffering from radiation and in order to stop the spreading the humans culled the animals
Tula knows geoffrey was sick and saw the effects of radiation sickness on him

So many good moments in Ep 5 of Burrow's End, but this is the one that sets my mind buzzing the most. The idea that community predates identity. We know mama, dada, and baba before we know not only their names, but our own names. And in the season all about family, community, in-group versus outgroup? This feels like such an important idea, and it was came up likely on the spot. It's fascinating to think about, and touches on such big themes about Burrow's End in general.
My mind keeps trying to read "name" as "self," and come up with something like "we have to know others before we know who we are," but I think there's a fundamental error in that idea. Neurologically, we just start off with just "Me" - one of our basic senses is what is "Me" and what is "Not Me." That's fundamental to further categorization, and faults in that sense is where things like depersonalization / derealization come from. Names are just labels, and they're not even the first labels we have for them.
This ties into another point that a lot of people had when watching the trailer at the end of Ep. 4 and during the live reaction of Ep. 5 - the idea that because Sybil was so reluctant to say her brother's name after he died, that it was the result of some top-down oppression within Last Bast and further proof that it's not as idyllic as it seems. Now, Last Bast almost certainly isn't a utopia, and I'm sure we're going to learn more about that in the next episode. And it's possible that it is a top-down enforcement that Sybil, having been raised in Last Bast, has internalized. However, there's a chance this isn't the case.
Less than 30 seconds on Google turns up several cultures that have taboos around speaking the names of the dead - Aboriginal mortuary rituals, the Apache of the Southwest US, the Tolowa tribe of California, the Yanomami on the border of Brazil and Venezuela, certain Romani/Irish Traveller groups, and almost certainly more. While it initially seems unfathomable to Western cultural mores around remembering and memorializing the dead, it's just as possible possible that instead of a method of social control, it's simply a cultural taboo.
https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/gravematters/2017/04/18/aboriginal-mortuary-rituals/
And as Aabria has commented both during the live discussion and general discord channels,
Aabria's a smart cookie, and I trust that she's done plenty of worldbuilding and put tons of thought into how Last Bast's society works. We've seen she's great at her cultural analysis while in the DM's chair in both Misfits & Magic and in A Court of Fey and Flowers. Culture and society are interwoven in all of her games, and where does all that start?
With family.

i love where this season is taking us. finding out about the first stoats. that the stoats of last bast speak human. tula locking down bennett at the thought of walmer showing up again. lukas as either a 3rd level bard or 10th level expert sidekick. the entire concept of dr. tara steel.
in other news, we have the final class updates for burrow's end! i'm expecting level 10 to be their endpoint, as they've all landed there this episode. everybody multiclassed, with 3 cleric multiclasses this season.
tula: stoat mom as a feat is all i'm going to say. towards the end, she's really leaning into the healing aspect with the cleric levels.
initial level: redemption paladin 4
final level: redemption paladin 7 | life cleric 3
jaysohn: adhd karate boy, or all stoats in a nutshell. a true killer like his grandma.
initial level: astral self monk 4
final level: astral self monk 5 | swashbuckler rogue 5
viola: the embryonic diapause storyline is going to kill me, i can feel it. it is indeed. instead of going more magic like tula she went more martial.
initial level: devotion paladin 4
final level: devotion paladin 7 | champion fighter 3
thorn vale: anxious wife guy cult leader is something i didn't know i needed until now, but i'm so glad that that's where jasper went with him. and now he's really leaning into the cult and the power of the blue.
initial level: fey wanderer ranger 4
final level: fey wanderer ranger 5 | tempest cleric 5
ava: if generational trauma was a stoat. the commitment to the werther's? phenomenal. she died and came back with magic.
initial level: ancestral guardians barbarian 3 | fighter
final level: ancestral guardians barbarian 5 | battlemaster fighter 3 | grave cleric 2
lila: i'm living for izzy as a stoat that can sneak attack people and read??? and now lila has fireball. what could be better.
initial level: inquisitive rogue 4
final level: arcane trickster rogue 4 | bladesinger wizard 6
all of this info is available in the spreadsheet under level progressions, and also in the ao3 compilation in chapter 11.

Let's Talk About the Breakfast Guards!
Are they a couple? Was it just a brief thing? Or did some of us hallucinate the whole thing altogether?
We fist meet them in Book 1 Episode 2: What is Done.
They're a bit out of focus, but we can see some distinguishing details: the guy's beard and that the woman has blond hair and green eyes. I think she also has a braid under the helmet flap.
Also, I think they're voiced by Jason Simpson (Viren and Barius' voice actor) and Paula Burrows (Rayla and Opeli's voice actor).
The next time we see them again is 2 years later, in Book 4 Episode 3: Breathtaking. It looked like they were about to kiss! At least I think it's them
The guy is definitely the same, at least the same model. The woman's eyes look blue here. She's also got blond hair and has a braid, though here the braid is out.
They don't have any speaking lines.
The last time we see them so far is in Book 5 Episode 7: Sea Legs. They're stationed outside Lux Aurea and the guy seems to be flirting with a Sunfire Elf guard! The human woman guard looks annoyed.
We know this is the same breakfast guard. He's even referred to as such in the subtitles. But is the other human the same woman as before? She's blond and seems to have a braid but her ayes are definitely blue.
I do hope it's them each time and that we'll see them in the future. We only have 18 episodes left so probably at the end of the show but I would love a resolution for them 🤭
