Am I saying this will be your new favourite show? That it will make you smile and shiver and puzzle and delight? That it's something really special? That it will ease the pain of waiting for other shows to happen?

Yes. I am saying that.

It's SO good. And it starts in three weeks...

Okay so like I'm sorry to everyone else's Modern AU Headcanons or whatever but the actual modern equivalent here is that your plane has crashed in rural Nebraska and the survivors are

  • You
  • A homeschooled goth girl who was raised in a bunker by a bunch of excommunicated Scientologists
  • A pissed-off bisexual who grew up in some kind of sovereign-citizen compound and has vastly overestimated her current class rankings at West Point
  • The disgraced son of some politician who made a deal with the mob to protect someone and then took a dive to protect his father's reputation rather than try to explain
  • Straight-up a human trafficking survivor who's using a fake ID to try to flee the country
  • Genuinely a really sweet young woman trying to get out of an abusive relationship whose shitty ex-girlfriend destroyed her highly-controlled and incredibly expensive heart medication out of spite to punish her for leaving, and who also lost her health insurance when she ran

and of course

  • Some guy from the Hamptons who is otherwise honestly super friendly and normal, except that he's managing his terminal leukemia by sucking the dye out of shoes and it actually seems to be working

What the fuck could this possibly be about?!?

Baldur’s Gate 3. The game begins with you surviving a Nautiloid crash, and these are modern comparisons to the game’s available companions.

In order, they’re Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Wyll, Astarion, Karlach, and Gale.

The descriptions sound wild but they do check out.

I agree with all of these except the last one, because it's more like

  • Some guy from the Hamptons with an advanced science degree who is otherwise honestly super friendly and normal, except that he's managing his terminal leukemia he got from eating uranium to impress his ex, by sticking forks in power sockets. On the advice of his college roommate. And it actually seems to be working. He's already stolen your phone battery and swallowed it by the way.
