bro 1: do you want a protein shake bro? bro 2: nah bro bro 1: why bro? bro 2: because you’re the only one who gives me strength bro bro 1: bro.

What?

this sounds like the opposite of a problem

and i think to myself…. what a wonderful worm

im emotional 

The entire Bureau of Balance together almost makes one whole, functional parental figure and I think they use that to their best advantage. 

Someone getting especially frazzled with Angus? Quick child switch off, come along child, you are mine now. Someone doing something unsafe? Well, it’s probably going to get ignored up to a certain point but if it’s super unsafe Brad or Lucretia or Noelle will come over and break up the human pyramid contest/human chess game/live cannonball experimentation/whatever is going on. They have secret hand signals that mean “please take this boy off of my hands or I’ll cry” but Angus already figured them all out. He doesn’t tell the grownups though, it’s good for them to feel competent. They all have areas of expertise like “not poisoning the child” “not exposing the child to live venomous spiders” “hugs” “verbal approval” and “busywork to keep Angus entertained”. Leon gives him grandpa candy and slips him magical artifacts under the table. Killian shows him how to use his tiny body and low center of gravity to his advantage in a brawl. If any of them were actually dropped in an apartment with Angus and expected to Grown Up it would probably go horribly wrong but if they tag team it, it kind of works?

Post-Bureau Angus just has a constant rotating cycle of mysterious and highly irresponsible adults picking him up from school and spiriting him away on cross country adventures to solve crime and fight dragons. Carey’s entire family adores him. He has the IPRE on call. Death’s Best Employee gives him awkward pats on the head. He’s just bouncing from the Moon to Neverwinter to Refuge to Taako’s touring group, learning stuff and having a good time and seeing some horrible age inappropriate stuff. The only time things start to fall apart is when someone messes with the Fantasy Excel sheet and they end up with a two day block where Angus is completely unsupervised, but most of the time when that happens he manages just fine and often solves some sort of minor mystery on his own. Legally he thinks Lucretia is in charge of him, but really he’s in charge of himself and everyone else is just allowed to contribute. Angus McDonald: Boy Detective, Guardianship Being Crowdsourced. 

So this is a message to myself, and everyone of you guys whose life is currently a potato… With that being said, this game gave me the feels, man.

2018 is the year of the dog so I’m out here gently begging 2018 to please, please be a good dog

yo so ok has anyone considered that merle’s relationship with pan is really theologically interesting??? like, his original god was annihilated. the entire planar system, including the divine plane, that merle highchurch comes from, was destroyed by the hunger. the material plane was absorbed and the other planes that rely on the material can’t support themselves when cut off. whether or not the hunger personally absorbs/destroys the divine plane when it takes a planar system, or leaves it to dissolve, the gods are gone. 

so like. merle, as a cleric of pan, carries with him a belief in a god that does not necessarily exist in the planar systems before merle gets there. the animal kingdom didn’t have gods, the robot society seemed pretty fucking secular. but in the mushroom plane, merle actually develops a congregation of worshippers for his god. who, again, died several years back. but merle never seems to take that into account. pan exists for him wherever he goes. 

there’s the old saw: if god didn’t exist, it would be necessary for man to invent him. merle, without fuss or any notable introspection, through a very straightforward sort of faith, re-establishes his god wherever he worships him. 

also that makes it even more interesting that post-mindwipe merle’s crisis of faith is centered around his own inadequacy. when merle loses contact with his god, he never stops believing in him: he just assumes pan has stopped believing in merle. 

still, it’s cool to think of a god being born over and over in world after world, just from the unshakable conviction of one guy that his god must exist. when the pan of faerun tells merle, you’ll always be my merle, i hope he appreciates how many other worlds he exists on as merle’s pan. 

Happy New Year ya filthy animals!
