The Rogue Among Us

just a cute hug, i need to see dorian new clothes TvT

thank you, Travis, for immediately latching onto the MOST important detail of the Essek description: shoulder-length hair. you are truly a man of the people.

“They made them a conveniently attractive twink omg ruined design yap yap”

FOOLS. ABSOLUTE DINGBATS YOU ALL ARE. CAN YOU NOT SEE ALL THE SYMBOLISM????

I will defend this design to the ends of the earth. Yes they’re hot, that’s merely a bonus.

1) that’s not a shirt that’s a fucking Galaxy under that suit. Mf has no body, just a vaguely body shaped void. Meaning floating head and hands that aren’t attached to anything. You take those clothes off and it’s the fucking void. They’re non binary AND sexless. Beyond any physical body, just shaped like it for fun.

2) the old bodies head dead in their hands and simultaneously birthing a foetus. That’s the circle of life, a rebirth, a metamorphosis. Chaos is above a god, they’re primordial. They don’t have a permanent appearance or identity. They’re ever changing. They look like this now, but if there were another game, they’d change again. They’re always changing, killing their old self and reshaping it. The wings have also moved and grown from the head to the back. Chaos expands indefinitely, bigger and unable to be contained in any way. They don’t even need wings, they can float. But they decided to have them anyway, just because. Because they can.

3) this is Ancient Greece. Suits don’t exist yet. Chaos took clothing from thousands of years in the future. They’re beyond time itself, they’re not effected by Chronos in any way. They’re in their own realm outside of time an space, they know things from the past, present and future.

4) the hair being the same colour as and long like many of their grandchildren, family resemblance there. Almost like they’re,,, missing them. Despite being this omnipresent being beyond human emotion, they still care in their own way. Copying them to feel some form of deeper connection.

5) the earth is an earring now. That’s how inconsequential it is to a being like chaos. It’s just there, an accessory, nothing special.

I could go on. Maybe I’m reading too deep into it but given the fact all the designs in the first and second games tend to have symbolism in them based on the myths the gods come from and what they represent, I don’t think I’m too insane for seeing symbolism here.

chilchuck!

I want emo versions of idioms

Like, instead of ““you’re barking up the wrong tree” it’s “you’re panicking at the wrong disco”

You can lead a horse to Evanescence but you can’t bring him to life

This isn’t my first black parade

"your mom was able to stop time?" asks definitely not essek in disguise, known time wizard who is definitely very normal about time magic

CHILCHUCK TIMS SAYS WORKERS RIGHTS!!

Inspirational words for freelancers, hourly paid workers and salarymen alike

(There will be stickers, watch this space :,,)

critical role status update!

they really internalized schoolhouse rock's three is a magic number thing huh

Hypnos

“Well… I think I’d like to wake up, because I only want there to be one of me, and I like this version better…” 🌸

Every day I am surprised to say that we needed a Chetney in this party so bad and I'm so glad Travis brought this character in.

Essek growing his hair out is an attack on me personally

hey reminder to continue boycotting eurovision and instead turn your eyes on gaza where the last media outlet al jazeera has just been shut down so that Israel can launch its attack on the most densely populated area in the world without scrutiny. Dont stop talking about Palestine

the visceral gut drop of "—and in his place is a gently floating male drow—" vs the absolute giddy high of "—who is no longer Seth. Instead you see, a dark elf—" like, Essek Thelyss really is narratively That Bitch and he sure knows how to make a fucking entrance

i CANNOT WAIT for Essek to notice Ashton's head/dunamantic abilities and poke at their brain!!! I've been hoping for it since first figuring out that the rage is dunamancy-based and FINALLY it's bound to happen at some point while they are together!
