emily trying to come up with reasons why she finds so frankie hot is hilarious. "he's like this celebrity" "he reminds of me that celebrity" girl if that man is similar to anyone it's YOUR HUSBAND. it's hot murph week. OPEN YOUR EYES
After listening to Twilight Sanctorum again, I think it is perfect. It is 4 episodes long and it is a masterpiece. Emily delivers such a creative story and world filled full of Axfordisms and pitch perfect film noir tropes. Murph’s character is such a quintessential Murph character—his wife is gone and he’s sad about it and his life sucks. (“I’m 71 years old!!”) Caldwell is a perfect Caldwell character—a weird lil guy who is into crafts. And Jake—well Mavid is the literal worst, makes the worst choices and has to be begged to do anything. And he is so goddamn funny. The trauma and dysfunction is handled so well. The atmosphere and setting is so well done. Emily even manages to weave in a toxic wlw relationship, which is so Emily and definitely on theme for film noir. It’s gritty. It’s messy. It’s hilarious. it’s emotionally impactful. It’s perfect.
here’s an insane chart of how the female naddpod npcs fall on a scale from grandma to aunt and hinged to unhinged because it’s clearly the best way to compare them to each other
everything is color coded by campaign based on first appearance (bc some c1 npcs have shown up in c3, etc).
No matter how far you stray
You'll always come back this way
'Cause I will be here
Year after year
In the darkest of nights and days
So give me a second chance
Give me another dance
We'll start anew
Just me and you
Eternal is our romance
we all want murph to dm a d20 season, but after twilight sanctorum, we need a spooky emily dm side quest. we know she can nail a contained story that hints at a larger world. the artwork would be on another level. and they could use her original music in the dome.
Emily doesn't get enough credit for how good she is at running mysteries. Between Hot Boys Summer and Twilight Sanctorum I'm blown away by her pacing. She reveals enough to keep you hooked but not so much that it ruins the suspense. Her clues aren't super obvious or too difficult, and they piece together so perfectly. I hope we get more mysteries from her in the future
It always feels like not that many people listened to twilight sanctorum which is a shame because I desperately need a compilation of edgar the busking skeleton. Words cannot describe the Choices emily made there
