I Keep Seeing This On My Dash And I Die Of Laughter A Little More Each And Every Time So Hdjxjdksk I

"and genuine hot boi!"

Man, if I had a nickel for every time Essek Thelyss's disguise was dispelled via Anti-Magic field in a situation somehow related to Ludinus Da'leth, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't alot, but it's weird that it has happened twice.

there's something so funny about how the early Nein talks like Fjord has a high charisma but only took intimidate and lie as his skills and also only talks when it's clear everyone else has fucked the situation so bad he has to step in. Jester, Molly, and Beau all have proficiency in lie but all three of them have +0/+1 to Charisma and prof bonuses aren't that great at early levels and also none of them will shut up. Sam has a negative to charisma and cannot stop trying to talk because he hasn't really registered that he's not Scanlan any more. Caleb has both a decent charisma and also has a proficiency bonus to lie but he really only uses it in PVP. the ONLY person who took persuade was Jester.

So I just listened to the first ~40 minutes of c2e4 while doing somethings, just to get a headstart on tomorrow's (Today's, when I post this XD) episode. . . And I have a Many Post Ideas™ about but this one first.

(EDIT: Bsjsksk it was SUPPOSED to be first, but my schedules posts didn't work right - Please know I typed this up first XD)

!! Spoiler Warning for people who don't know PC Backstories/Caleb's History yet!!

Let's talk about Caleb talking to Toya in the boat.

Cause like, at first he's trying to get information (very wizard™ of him, imo, but also very 'on the run' wizard where knowing information and the keeping of certain strains of it are very important) - I feel this is not only to get a more full picture, but also to feel out how to proceed w/ Toya - How innocent is she in this? Was she mind-controlled? Was it more mundane manipulation?

He allows the others to explain the situation, he asks how she grew close to him after she says 'he was my friend'/the most emotional response thus-far in this point in the conversation, 'What did you talk about?', all with a sympathetic pained expression as he listens.

Alot of early-Caleb from what I've seen so far is trying to suss things out and decide best courses of action at almost every given turn - Carrying this on, his next part I feel is partly manipulation; The sympathy may be real to one extent or another, but what they/what he ultimately decides they need is for Toya to cooperate and I feel he's usin' that Charisma stat to try and secure her for that purpose (RIP that 6 tho XD)

This is all fun and good, but It's What he says at the start that brings me the most pause - He says, 'People we feel we know. . can be someone else.' - He continues on more towards manipulation, pushing gently to the forefront what he feels she needs to focus on (staying with the rest of the circus), but at that line I wonder. . .

What is he thinking about, when he says that? At first I stopped what I was doing and was like, '!!! His Parents? Does he mean his Parents??' Cause like, Yes, he knows now that those memories were false. . But still, it musta been something to 'realize' your parents were against the very country you are giving up so much to protect and serve.

But then I wondered. Is he thinking of his Parents, or perhaps Ickithon, who he thought of likely as a strict but ultimately Good teacher who also wanted the best for the Empire, wanted the best out of him for this noble cause?

Or was he thinking of himself, seen by his parents as their little spark, who was moving up in the world and loved them dearly. . . Only for him to mercilessly trap and burn them within the very home they raised him in?

Hank: In light of what you did for me... you can hug me for four to five seconds.

Connor, immediately grabbing him into a huge bear hug: Forty-five seconds?!

Hank, already struggling: NO! FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS!

his eyeshadow turns purple when he’s excited…..this boy owns my whole heart now im sorry, i love him

YESSSS~~ and to my recollection he doesn't even hesitate to do so, yeah? Just with his full chest, 'Caleb Widogast'

I remember another post a while back said that it was the Nein who made Caleb 'Caleb', or something along those lines, and that it's who he became - I don't recall the details but I remember it was a real neat take LOL XD

absolutely charmed by the fact that in the first few eps Caleb uses his full name when talking to stangers / the crowns gaurds. in his mind he still isnt caleb. at least not yet. so why should he change his alias?

My Therapist: "American-Accent Caleb isn't real and cannot hurt you." Caleb c2e1:

As Other people have been saying, he only had One eye-thing in Season 4 (Also also only one eye-thing on the uniforms) - And Another thing, When he Spoke in the beginning of the most recent first ep.?? HE SPOKE IN THE SINGLE VOICE HE USED IN SEASON 1 EPSIODE 6, WHEN HE WAS SAYING EVERYTHING WAS HIS FAULT - HELLO????? HELLO HOLY GOODNESS??????

WE KNOW ONE-ONE AS, WELL, ONE-ONE, ONE HAPPY AND ONE PESSIMISTIC SIDE - BUT WHATEVER MADE THE TRAIN, HOWEVER IT WAS BEFORE AMELIA’S TAKE OVER. . . WAS IT ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE ‘ONE’ WE SAW HERE IN SEASON 4? I MEAN, I THINK IT’S CLEAR IT WAS - ALSO ALSO EVERYTHING WAS MORE SYSTEMATIC, WHAT WITH UNIFORMS AND RELIEVING OF PERSONAL ITEMS AND SUCH/THE ADDITION OF THOSE BOOTS THAT CAN KEEP A PASSENGER IN PLACE FOR ‘ANNOUNCEMENTS’ (ALSO ALSO THERE WERE MORE STEWARDS?!?!?!?!) - CLEARLY, THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL INTENTION (as far as we know) ON HOW THE TRAIN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RUN.

WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS. . . HOW EXACTLY DID ‘ONE’ BECOME. . . ONE-ONE. . . 

there was A Lot to unpack in Book 4 but something I haven't seen mentioned on here is One-One's whole,, situation. He's only referred to as One by the captions, similarly to how Amelia referred to him in Book 1, and he seems to only have one VA. (I can't confirm this, but I'm pretty sure his design is slightly altered here too??) so was. was Amelia TEARING him out of the train what caused his alternating personality?? hello???
