wait wait wait guys have you ever thought about how the Mighty Nein are everything they shouldn’t be upon first glance

no no guys guys listen to me they’re all the antithesis of what they’re meant to be and that’s why they’re such amazing and heartfelt characters

like, Caleb is a wizard who’s afraid of his own fire magic. his own power causes him to falter in battle. his strongest spells are his most dangerous to himself. wizards are supposed to be prideful of their magic, but Caleb’s is the reason he hates himself

Beau is a monk who never wanted to be. her job is one that people normally associate with being calm and collected and Beau was a wild rebellious kid who got dragged into this line of work against her will. she never wanted to be this!! but now she is and she’s gotta deal with it!!

Fjord is a warlock who never wanted power from his pact, which is why you’d think a warlock would make their pact at all. but no. Fjord made his pact because he wanted to live, not because he wanted power. he was a scared orphan who hated his tusks, not a buff, muscled, angry half-orc like people assumed

Nott is NOT, that’s the whole crux of her narrative! she wasn’t pretty, like a halfling girl was supposed to be. she wasn’t a goblin, she was just transformed into one. and not only that, but despite being a three-foot-tall alcoholic kleptomaniac, she’s the mom of the group!

Jester is a Cleric whose god isn’t actually a god and who would much rather bash bad guys over the head with her lollipop than have to stop and heal her friends!! she’s a bubbly, optimistic ray-of-sunshine, but you know when she says she’s gonna change the world with friendship she means it as a threat

Mollymauk is an amnesiac, but he doesn’t want to remember who he was. if you ask him, that wasn’t him! he might be a flirtatious hedonistic carnie, but he’s also single-mindedly devoted to making the world a better and more loved place than it was when he found it. he’s a liar, but he means well. he’s an arrogant fool, yes, but he’s right! he did it! he left it better!

Caduceus seems like he’d be creepy and grim from growing up in a graveyard, but he’s actually the most chill out of the entire Nein by far. he’s calm, he’s sweet, and he’s comforting, more than anything else. you’d think he’d be amazed by seeing the outside world for the first time, but he spends the whole time knowing that one day he’ll return home, that he wasn’t supposed to be the one to leave

Yasha is a barbarian with skeletal wings and a dramatic, monochromatic look, but she’s a complete sweetheart. she’s Molly’s best friend, she was a carnival bouncer, she’s a lesbian disaster who collects pressed flowers in a book out of love for the wife she lost. those black wings were actually hiding soft white feathers

Essek was born straight into the den of politics, he was a spymaster, he literally started a war for his own gain, and yet. he’s sounds irredeemable on paper, but. he’s not!! sure, the Nein kind of have to drag his alignment kicking and screaming into neutral, but they manage it. Essek learns and grows and he overcomes his nature. he becomes good, against all odds

guys guys guys don’t you see it!! look at them!!they’re such compelling characters!! they’re everything they’re not supposed to be!! dude y’all how didn’t I realize this earlier!! they subvert their narratives in the most interesting ways ever and I justhshsbhshshsjnsmshsnhsfn!!

'family, Luke. you promised' is hitting so much harder after Ares' commentary on the godly family. like 'olympians fight. we betray. we backstab',,, Luke is so resentful of the gods and the family he was born into, but is unable to escape how they raised him. he fights. he betrays. he backstabs. he may have promised Annabeth family but he couldn't give her the genuine, unconditional love Percy can. he is a villain of the gods' own making, the product of their dysfunctional family. he could never turn out different. the NEXT line Ares says is 'we will push anyone down a flight of stairs to get ahead', which Percy had EXPLICITLY defied in the previous episode when he pushed Annabeth down the stairs to sacrifice himself. Percy's fatal flaw of loyalty is breaking the cycle of violence, he is creating the family Luke was never going to be able to give her.

Bakugou loves you so deeply that he would actively try to pair you up with another guy if he thought you had a crush on them, because he just wants you to be happy even if it means he isn’t.

lotta good mages out there none of them have my heart quite like Ezreal 🥺👉👈

I'm still thinking about that scene

this image.... THIS one singular drawing makes me sick to my core. genuinely upset. they LOVED him. they fucking loved him with all their hearts. they were family and chuuya was a part of that and they cherished him. they loved him when he was a 16 year old with too much and too many emotions, with little to no ways to cope. loved him when he was sharp and pointy and made people bleed. they went out of their way to find something, anything, related to his past because they cared, didnt want anything in return even. and the thought that chuuya might have even the slimmest of chances to end his arc as the new PM boss bc he feels like thats what they wanted, what he owes them, is so heartwrenching and cruel. they wanted him to be happy. thats all they ever wanted for him.
