I’m just sitting here trying to watch Icebound Side Story 2, and instead I get jump-scared by smooth Derek

spoiler warning for stardust Rhapsody episode 15 and 16
I know it's been several days since sdr, but I just want to point out that none of it is any less real. Look me in the eyes when I tell you that every story is entirely made up and just because it isn't canon doesn't make it any less real. I have been in the Marauders fandom for years. Do you think I care what's canon? Just because s1 isn't part of the canon storyline can't erase that the story was told and lived and loved. You can still go back and watch it whenever you want. It's still there, and a story within a story is just as real to us as the story itself.
And honestly? I'm not too sad about the whole thing. Was Leboosh one of my favorite characters, and one that I will deeply miss not seeing in the same way again? Yes, of course. But I'm also excited for a new storyline with Ziggy and to have Derek playing a character that he feels fully happy and comfortable with. I think Leboosh did well in emotional scenes, but if Derek didn't feel connected to the story on the way he wanted to be, he's the one playing and he should be having fun, and if everyone is having fun it will be more fun to watch.
Also a part of me is just excited that Pyke is alive. I don't think I could have dealt with a full season of Rett missing Pyke and having a crew that was just Rett, Leboosh, and Chuckles. Like, I love those characters, but of the others are all gone and 2/3 of the party feels trapped by who they're playing, how fun will it be?
aldo, tell me the everyone leaving and then Mace alone and then Pyke reading with him wasn't gut wrenching and cool af.
TL,DR: I will miss the old characters and I realize that this means we won't get anymore of the old SDR, but I think this was the right choice for everyone to have fun and make this campaign the best that it could be
Currently imagining an AU where instead of having them trade Torbek to get Frost back, Mr. Witch just sends Frost into the feywild to get experimented on. Frost becoming the one possessed by The Other. Frost, who so greatly values his mind and his control of it losing control. The other's reaction to learning Frost is GONE. The Krew going into the feywild to save their friend instead of Zabilna. The Krew having to fight Frosty because he lost control. Frost's guilt after attacking his family. Oh my god
Your Stupid Face by Kaden MacKay is so very jegulus coded. Maybe not the theatre kid vibes but the lyrics? Spot on
i know that people have already discussed this at length but i'm watching the patreon behind the scenes character discussion for frost and listening to derek talk about the psionic order and "mind over matter" and all that and then comparing that to frost throwing his pack in ep 46 has me feeling like the exploding galaxy brain meme. like. he has this canonically 110 pound bag or whatever and yeah that's kind of a meme bc he just picks shit up and Never uses it but that's also So interesting in the context of how he was raised to Not value physical items and give no credence to "things" but rather to ideas, thoughts, mentalities. Frost was taught to hold this value his entire life yet carries a 110 pound bag around with him everywhere. And in that same vein, the order taught him that physical relationships are also supposed to be unimportant, and having people tie him down will only block him from reaching his true potential. yet he's traveled with years with these three friends and when he's "replaced" by someone else for just a few hours on guys' night he feels sensitive and self conscious. and in the carnival horror ride we see that his worst fear is being alone. Everything about his life contradicts everything he was taught is supposed to hold dear, (and side not, i think one of the most interesting parts about this video is the discussion of whether or not frost is Aware of what he's doing, Aware that he's directly going against the pillars of his order, but that's a discussion for another time). And all of this culminates in episode 46, when frost stands alone, all of his friends dead or dying around him, and his throws his pack. on some level i already understood what this meant for him, the getting rid of everything he was saving because it doesn't matter anymore, but after approaching it more from the side of these tenants of his faith, it's like. holy shit. he just lost all his friends, this physical attachments that "tie him down," and now he's willingly giving up all his physical belongings as well, and this is it, that's the moment he reaches that pure mind over matter because he doesn't have anything anymore. there is nothing tying him down. this should be nirvana. but instead, it's the worst moment of his fucking life. everything that was supposed to bring him paradise and freedom and immortality and whatnot has only brought him unimaginable pain and grief.
CoS ep. 6 was getting too intense, so I thought 'oh, I'll watch some one-shots from the one-shot playlist' and then got so deeply uncomfortable from the Anime Waifu One-shot that I was literally itchy all over.
Characters that haunt the narrative. Not in a deep, sad way. Like how Sausage haunts the narrative in Icebound Side Story 3. It's the Second coming of Sausage. They won't stop talking about how young he was. Their kid brother. Only 42. Killed by a horrible bug monster.
Small clone Porkos is actually the best character that's ever existed
Legends of avantris should do like an april fools one shot or something where, similar to the other one shots, they bring together characters from different campaigns except they’re all playing each other’s characters. Like put Richie in a backwards baseball hat and sit him in Andy’s seat and make him play booker or something. Put Mikey in glasses and have him play frost. And so on and so forth and at no point in the entire stream do they address that they are not Andy or Derek or whatever. Do you see my vision
All the random things, probably mostly Marauders, aroace stuff, EPIC, Legends of Avantris, and writing but who knows
