Scenes from a café date over the weekend 🥰

Genuinely I think at least 80% of fandom toxicity would vanish overnight if people stopped seeing shipping as the primary way of engaging with media.

I would also personally have more fun and that is the real issue here.

i'm tired of otherwise-lighthearted media pushing this global obsession with being the best at something. exhausted with protagonists whose one driving motivation is to be the best in their chosen field, like that's a noble and healthy thing.

because see, there are nearly 8 billion people on this gorgeous godless blue earth. many-if-not-most of us live in abusive economies wherein we are regularly pushed to our limits to overachieve, at the cost of our health, happiness, and personal lives. being the very very best at something, out of all 8 billion humans on the planet, does not happen because of automatic talent or being divinely appointed by god/s. it happens because of talent, plus thousands upon thousands of hours spent in practice. and if those thousands-upon-thousands of hours come at the cost of your inner healthy and balance--as living under high psychological pressure often does--that's not noble. that's self-abuse.

and while I deeply empathize with characters who feel that pressure to push themselves to unhealthy extremes, I want to see that philosophy ultimately rejected, not romanticized. No one needs to be the best. No one even needs to do their personal best, not all of the time. It's okay to live life without constantly trying to measure up to something. It's okay to just live.

I understand not being a big fan of the appearance of past PCs, and I shared that earlier on, and even shared the argument that I wanted Bells Hells' story to be about them...but I feel like the time for that argument has passed. As we've gone on, that is in fact the story - that they're a bunch of level 8 adventurers who have fallen into an endgame scenario because of little peripheral threads and because of who one of their companions is. The story is, on some level, about not being about them. They've had so little time to drive their own destiny; it's been fetch quests and pursuit from the start, with little in the way of the odd jobs and proper stumblings one would usually expect.

And I hope that after the solstice they'll get to do that! But I think having Keyleth and the Ashari, Beau, and Caleb there hammer the above home: this is so much bigger than Bells Hells is prepared for, and they're here because a few weird things that happened in Jrusar (which is all that Eshteross ever wanted to look into, and all Treshi ever wanted to do) were unbeknownst to them part of a plot Ludinus Da'leth has likely been working on for several centuries; and because Imogen and Fearne are involved through accidents of birth. In many ways, it echoes Laudna's entire story. It's just people who were minding their own business in a town, and someone powerful and ruthless did things beneath it that affected the population at large because of a plan with cosmic ramifications, and they became involved out of an accident of location.

I'll admit - I do prefer a story where people are actively seeking something, or running from something, rather than caught up in bigger and bigger webs of conspiracy, but that's not the one being told right now, and the version in which far more powerful allies don't appear is a tragic and cynical one, whereas one with Keyleth, Beau, and Caleb says "yeah, this is fucked up, and it's not fair that you're here on your own to deal with this rip current of an event."
