I feel like the reason Izzy’s death felt unsatisfying to me, is that the first season and this one had a consistent logic of how character injury worked. If it’s was for whatever villain the pirates fought, they died and that’s that, but if it was anyone on the crew, the injury could always be fixed in some way, and the crew would get to stay together. I don’t need real world logic in my piracy show, I just need the show’s logic to be consistent. This was such an abrupt departure from the rest of the show.

I know they were foreshadowing it the whole season, but I really thought they saw what a lazy trope killing off the just redeemed character is. I thought they would put a fun spin on it, makes some jokes or maybe do a fake out death, anything except actually killing someone on the crew. It was jarring and entirely unnecessary.

I was honestly hoping for Izzy to take over as captain, completing his arch of being accepted by the crew and finding out who he is without Blackbeard. But noooo, he had to die to be symbolic of Blackbeard dying so Ed could let go (which is dumb bc Ed had already done that without Izzy dying)

Mentopolis OC! Meet Catastra O’Fize. Cat for short. She is a secretary for the Mentopolis PD, and has been trying to work her way up to be a detective, but she is always shut down. She is known for blowing things out of proportion, and falling apart at…well just about anything. She is great at strategizing and planning for every possible scenario. Her general vibe gives everyone a sense of unease and stress. She tries to manage her thoughts with tea and always has a bag handy to hyperventilate into.

Good Omen Season 2 Theory (spoilers)

Is this anything?

Metatron threatened to send heaven’s forces after Crowley if Aziraphale didn’t accept the position as supreme archangel. Aziraphale knew if he just left or if he confided in Crowley that he would try and save him, and get himself hurt in the process. He had to go and break his heart saying the worst thing he could imagine to Crowley, that he wanted Crowley to be an angel again, wanted to change him, make him believe that he didn’t love him as a demon. Aziraphale did not expect Crowley’s confession or the kiss though and was doing his best to play the part of not loving him, even though he knew exactly how much he was hurting both of them to keep Crowley safe.

Emily Axford acts with unyielding wonder and empathy for everything she touches and Brennan knows it. When he confronts Emily with a power larger than her, or a power stranger than her, he does not bother trying to intimidate her. He knows she will look his gods in the eyes and speak to them with understanding. He knows that she will not shy away from touching what shouldn’t be touched if it means she learn from it. He may not know what she will do exactly (she is a bit of wild card) but you can always tell that he’s prepared for her to seek a connection and I love to watch it every time it happens. She is radical hope and understanding and pure unadulterated joy for what any world has to offer. Emily Axford and her role playing is fucking amazing.

Neverafter OC

The White Rabbit (also Peter Rabbit):

Race: Harengon

Class: Chronurgy Wizard

Background: Feylost

Backstory: As a child, Peter wandered too far from home, and walked through a portal to Wonderland. He was trapped there and became obsessed with the nonsensical way time worked in Wonderland, as he wanted to return back home at the moment he left. He has been desperately learning magic to achieve this. He finally managed to time travel almost perfectly. He knows this is the correct time, but everything is wrong now. He has been surviving in the Neverafter, and searching for the key component to time travel, an arcane artifact that must be of the plane he wishes to travel to and the time he wishes to travel to. He only knows of one such person who possesses something, Alice who kept the Vorpal Blade after she slayed the jabberwocky and returned home.

[ EXU: CALAMITY, PART 4 ]

ASMODEUS: “Is something supposed to happen now?”

ZERXUS (confused): “I don’t know…”

ASMODEUS: “What are you attempting to do?”

ZERXUS: “I want you to remember — like you said, you remember everything — I want you to remember who you were before. Before you came here, before all of this. Do you remember?

ASMODEUS: “I think I remember. The nature of the ceremony — this is a ceremony of atonement, correct?”

ZERXUS: “Yes.”

ASMODEUS: “I see. I think I know what may be happening.”

ZERXUS: “What?”

ASMODEUS: “The ritual of Evandrin, the resurrection. It didn’t work, because you tried to resurrect him, but he wasn’t dead.”

ZERXUS: “Right.”

ASMODEUS: “You’re trying to atone me.

And I diDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG.”

Don’t mind my shitty low res screen grab but like

Can we talk about Aabria doing little kissy kissy hand motions right after Brennan describes Asmodius as Beautiful?

Love her brain. The pathway from “wow” to “shipping” was like two inches long hahaha

Listen I don't care if Zerxus started the fucking Calamity or let Asmodeus out or whatever he's a grieving gay and it's pride month he's allowed

On finally actually watching it the thing abt the Zerxus/Asmodeus scene I didn't anticipate is that Brennan actually set this scene up relatively neutrally from Asmodeus' opening lines in that i could see it having had any number of tones from tense and awful to tentatively positive, but Luis fcking Carazo cliff dove headfirst into the pool labeled "angsty homoerotic sympathy for devil" and Brennan course adjusted immediately and violently and now here we are, somehow supposed to cope with the results.

Brennan is an excellent EXCELLENT choice to DM this specific series because he:

  • Crafts brutal and extremely dynamic combat encounters
  • Runs sneaky, villainous NPCs who are so freaking smart and conniving
  • Is able to set up dominos to ensure a climax where everything comes together
  • Can time out a narrative to span a specific number of episodes
  • Is just wild, ruthless, and shameless enough to be the one who starts the Calamity
