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.

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

Spoilers for Once Upon a Witchlight Episode 8 and onward

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

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

I had a dream that Derek Hudson won RuPauls Drag Race. He looked freaking fabulous.

Skrimm and Queenie are The Siblings Ever

All the LoA players having a theme for their character is my fav ever:

Rich:

Undoubtedly queer coded characters

Mikey:

Recovering alcoholics

Derek:

The most insanely beautiful women you have ever seen and Leboosh

Mace:

Himbo

Nickie:

Girlboss (usually on the verge of starting a war)

Kelsey:

Women who love to kiss women (usually women who are bad for them)

Andy:

Twinks with an anxiety disorder

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

I am SCRAMBLING to finish Icebound for the new session on Saturday but I'm on episode 23 and super busy so I probably won't make it. Hopefully I can finish before the vod is gone from twitch to see the Avantris and Chill and stuff but idk about this one

Icebound episode 12 and 13 spoilers

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'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

Okay but THEN at the beginning of I Can’t Help but Wonder, the intro is the same as it was in Just a Man, but instead of being played on guitar (Ody alone) it’s played one viola (Penelope’s instrument) because he’s made it home and even thought he became the monster he’s “always [Penelope’s] husband” and with them he can be just a man again, as is reinforced later with the Just a Man reprise at the end of WYFILWMA

"Odysseus" showed us how much Ody has truly changed.

He's compared to almost all monsters in the musical during that one song.

His name's chanting is the same as Polyphemus', and he acts a little like him when he decides to kill everyone.

Po - ly - phe - mus ("Enough")

O - dy - sse - us ("I. Have had. Enough")

He aims for the torches just like Scylla.

"Eurylochus, light up six torches"

"Keep your head down he's aiming for the torches"

He rejected forgivness just like Poseidon did.

"Maybe you could learn to forgive..."

"No"

"Old king our leader's dead. You've destroyed the serpent's head. Now the rest of us are no longer a threat. Old king forgive us instead, so that no more blood is shed. Let's have open arms instead!"

"No."

Also, there's an electric guitar in the song. It represents Odysseus' cunning and ruthless nature.

He IS a monster. But that's what got him home. And he'll embrace this side of him.

Marylin Monroe was ACE? HOW HAVE I NOT LEARNED THIS UNTIL NOW ?

I have watched less than an hour of Icebound but I already would die for all of these characters

"Maybe you could learn to forgive.."

"No."

~~~

"Old King, forgive us instead. So that no more blood is shed. Let's have open arms instead—"

"No."

The PARALLEL IS BEAUTIFUL

I found the generator and put in frost. Uh…

literally the first fucking generated sentence

I think I have a problem… I just saw the word “collectible” and I thought it said “coalecroux”

planning mischievous activities

I’m on Once Upon a Witchlight episode 44 (slight spoiler warning I guess) And I can’t stop imagining Kremy’s satisfaction when Gideon doesn’t care about the note from the pixie or getting her sending stone runes like “yeah, take that pixie, he doesn’t even care enough about you too keep the note or keep in touch. I spend every day with him”

spoiler warning for episode 36 of Once Upon a Witchlight!

I cannot believe they just… created democracy and stabilized a political system? What? Huh?

the way Kaz just straight up does not have a mom in the books is wild,,, like there’s not even a throwaway line about her dying when he was young so he doesn’t remember her, just nothing

sometimes I wonder if bc barguo was so focused on Jordie and Kaz’s relationship that their parents were just put on the back burner bc Kaz doesn’t seem to have any memories of his father beyond his death either, it’s such a sharp contrast to how important other characters parents are (specifically they’re mothers)

it does lead to some possible parallels between Nina and Kaz, what with them both being orphans having very little to no memories of their parents and an older sibling figure that is much more important to them then those parents

It does leave me with the opportunity to characterize Kaz’s mother basically however I want for fics which is fun but a plot level it annoys me we don’t even know if she exists

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

Just received a free, gluten free pie from my ex-neighbors financial advisor for thanksgiving

Genuinely in tears at Torbek's poetry writing (ep8 of ouaw), i wanna give him a hug so bad 😭😭 little (massive) guy has so many issues 😭😭

I promise you all am (and me) that this exists. We have to believe that if we keep going we can get there. You are so, so, amazing and amazing and I see how hard you try. You got this. You will survive long enough to reach this

They should invent a new kind of Being Alive where it's not painful and it doesn't hurt constantly and actually feels worth it and you're happy for more than a few hours at a time

POV: your frost and you’ve just been cursed playlist

I just love that part in fics when Remus realizes he's in love with Sirius, and instead of being bashful or cute, his internal monologue is just, 'FUCK, I'm in love with Sirius Black.'
