I believe the consensus was that 5 rouges with short bows, given enough arrows, space to run, and a headstart, could beat 100 gorillas by firing at them from a distance and then bonus action dashing away so that the gorillas never got within range to throw rocks at them. The whole thing was like when you ask a guy what animals he could take in a fight, but nerd version. They literally talked about this for 32 minutes.
Alright I missed most of the pre session chat, why were people talking about jars and gorillas?
LOVE that the consensus on this one is that Andy is the one who really wants to eat garbage
Art imitates life or whatevet
Why do all Andy's characters eat literal garbage. The just eat trash. First Skrimm and now Torbek. Just literal trash
I've been having jaw problems for about half a year now, so whenever it hurts my brain just goes "my fucking jaw, Gricko" and It's gotten to the point that any pain prompts a "my fucking [body part] Gricko"
Whenever my legs act up I just have "my fucking LEGS, gricko!" Repeat in my mind
How dare you sir
Marylin Monroe was ACE? HOW HAVE I NOT LEARNED THIS UNTIL NOW ?
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
Genuinely in tears at Torbek's poetry writing (ep8 of ouaw), i wanna give him a hug so bad ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ little (massive) guy has so many issues ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Continuing my headcanons about the Krew's family and early childhoods, I present to you Gideon and his father, Nathaniel Cole (and yes, the spelling is intentional)
Just to restate, I know very little about their canon backstories as I'm only about halfway through the series still, so please keep that in mind as you read <3
I envision that Gideon grew up in a teeny tiny farming village, settled neatly in wide plains in the middle of nowhere. Think 1930s American manifest destiny, yknow? Max 200 people, and only 20-30 families at most.
Gideon's father, Nathaniel Cole, was poor for his entire life, and that was actually how he got involved with Gideon's mother; he sought out a powerful being, hoping that he would be granted all he desired. He had asked her for wealth, more than he could ever measure, and in typical genie fashion she twisted his words and granted him wealth in the form of love, giving him a son.
Personality-wise, I think Nathaniel was a very quiet man, hard working and stone faced. A classic "manly man" if you will. He tried his best to protect his small family and led by example. He encouraged Gideon to work hard for himself, hopeful of him going on to live a kinder life than his own. He was someone that Gideon looked up to greatly as a child, and not just because there were so few other people in his life; after escaping the clutches of the hobgoblins and meeting up with Kremy, he adopted his father's name as his own middle name
Nathaniel had already had trouble finding work, but now between caring for a child and his poor reputation after consorting with an efreeti, it was near impossible. He was lucky enough to find work on the ranch of a relatively wealthy family, the Connors, where Gideon spent his very early life and eventually ended up working himself when he was a little older.
The townsfolk largely held him at an arms length, afraid of what destruction he might cause between his genie heritage and his intrinsic fire. Like his father, he gained a poor reputation in the village that spread far outside the city limits after a railway was built adjacent to the town early in Gideon's youth, and that was how the hobgoblins caught wind of his existence; you all know how the rest of that story goes.

My headcannon is that this is a reference to the prank when Sirius revealed that Remus is a werewolf to Snape. I think before Remus was able to forgive Sirius they were of course not talking, and while James and/or Peter definitely would have been angry with Sirius for what he did, it I don’t think he would have entirely shut him out either, which would make it hard for Remus to be around them. I like to think that he and Lily really go to know each other well during this time and Remus was even able to gain a little independence while he wasn’t constantly with the marauders. Again, just my headcannon, but I think it explains that line in the show well
When PoA film-Remus tells Harry his mother was there for him at a time no one else was, what do you think that was? (If it's in the books, I've forgotten. Currently on a re-read and will find out eventually)
Hello @loonyloopylupin96 💜
I don't think this is in the book but I have always loved that moment in the film. The beautiful, tender score and the performances are so moving, particularly David Thewlis' whose Remus is everything.
I have always interpreted that as Remus thinking about all the ways in which Lily was there for him during the course of their friendship. My headcanon is that Remus and Lily were always close and had a natural affinity for one another. In fact, my headcanon is that for a long time that Remus was the only Maurader that she liked. I also headcanon that she shares things with Remus that she wouldn't share with others, even James, particularly in regard to the complexity of her feelings about Snape.
I even go as far as to imagine that had many things been different, Lily could have easily have fallen for Remus in the right circumstances....and perhaps sometimes wondered what might have been...although she never says anything about this to anyone...but I'm getting side-tracked...
I headcanon that outside of the Marauders and certain teachers that Lily is the first person that learns about Remus' lycanthropy outside of this tight-knit group at Hogwarts. Remus carries so much shame and self-loathing about this, and Lily's reaction was thoughtful, considerate and compassionate. And he never forgets this.
As the First War progresses, and speculation and tension rise as to who the potential spy in the Order is, Lily vocally defends Remus against Sirius' accusations. James finds this time really difficult, and feels less able to intervene with his loyalty between his friends tested and a natural tendency to side with Sirius on things. This is something that Remus also never forgets.
Thank you for asking. It was lovely to re-visit that scene again 💜
I feel like in Icebound the Avantris crew is just slightly less chaotic than, say, OUAW or Uprooted, but then they get kidnapped by Ogres and immediately decide to convince them they're gods from Ogre Heaven and come up with elaborate names and titles. I'm still in shock that Andy, after missing the previous session, wakes up as Skrimm and immediately ALSO tries to convince the ogres that he sees that he's a god, but with far less luck. How did they ALL do that?
i just realized is that kaz tried to use a father’s love for his son against him three times (jan van eck, pekka rollins, colm fahey)
and i just can’t help but think about how much his dad must’ve loved him for him to think of a father’s love as their greatest weakness
All the random things, probably mostly Marauders, aroace stuff, EPIC, Legends of Avantris, and writing but who knows
