figayda is the DEFINITION of "me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic"

i know riz saying "i have a conspiracy board going at fabian's house now" was probably implying that riz set it up just then during the party but the way he says it (read: the way my mentally ill brain interpreted it) makes it sound like he's over at fabian's house so often that he's set up a backup conspiracy board there like one would leave an extra toothbrush in their best friend's bathroom for sleepovers

Oh Cassandra,

It’s a metaphor, Hold on.

Making the Bad Kids actually finish off all the Yorbies, not having the minions break and run, is such a good way to re-enforce the exhaustion, absurdity, and… I guess unfairness? of this whole scenario.

if brennan had a nickel for every time a PC kept throwing themselves at really unhealthy would-be relationships with male love interests to the point where he had to give them an autistic fire-based girlfriend resulting in one of the most beloved, fan-favorite ships of the campaign. he'd have two nickels

Something about how Kristen still hasn’t truly processed all her Helio being the chosen one stuff. Something about how Cassandra literally looks exactly how Kristen looked when she was with Helio. Something about how Buddy Dawn is exactly who she would’ve become if she hadn’t died and met Helio down to his mini having to exact same pose as freshman year her. Something about how she couldn’t even find comfort in Yes! or Yes? because they were just puppets of Sol to try and get her back. Something about how she did everything right and still got expelled because she left Helio. Something about how the only reason Ankarna fell as far as we know is Sol was greedy and didn’t want to share a domain. Something about how even though it’s been reshaped and regifted and refined her staff is still the same as when she fought for Sol. Something about how Kristen was the one to bring back the sun after 4 months of night. Doesn’t that feel special at all.

watching brennan make the intrepid heroes feel the most bittersweet emotions when riz is with his dad in “my green heaven” is so funny

bc literally everything brennan says is so beautiful and sad and they simply cannot deal

lou’s “oh, shut up” and ally’s “goddammit brennan” when brennan reveals that pok hangs out at his grave in heaven so he can listen when riz visits to talk to him… they are both me in that moment

this makes me fucking ill. i feel fucking insane. like i feel like we don't talk about this nearly as much as we should. god.

the thing about the rat grinders is that i dont think they Intended to start out XP farming, but theyre doing it as a response to Aguefort both being absent (freshman year) and playing favourites (sophomore year) - and we've gotten confirmation to the fact that most other parties that arent the bad kids just go dungeon delving or do fetch quests. Maybe the result of the bad kids becoming the main characters of the school means that less diverse and interesting quests get assigned to competent adventurers - this isnt the bad kids fault, because i think the bad kids are a metaphor for young people that work well with alternative assignments, or that need different learning tools/accessible learning to thrive, and how even that work thats better suited to them is still a huge mental and physical strain. i think the rat grinders were kids who got lost in the cracks and never got given the opportunity to try new things or go on big quests, and retaliated by level maxing to make up for how the school system has failed them. if they cant get the big world-saving missions to put on their resumes like the bad kids, they can at least be level 20 by the time they graduate. its about survival in a bad system - and theyre kids. of course they have beef with the popular kids.

what do you fear, riz gukgak?
