#and they are talking with Pete…..

This pissed me of so much

The fact that Canola immediately replied with this, no flinching, no second guessing, she immediately responded with THAT. She had that locked and loaded, it seems like she was waiting for holly to say it.

And also: YES! YOU ARE A TERRIBLE MOTHER! This is coming from someone who lost a father, she absolutely is a horrible mother. Don’t get me wrong my mother was sad after my dad’s passing, miserable even, but she never EVER walked around like that!

She immediately made a plan and offered us to go therapy, she told us what’s what and made sure we knew what to do financially (it seems like they didn’t have that problem but maybe they did idk)

Canola? From what we’ve seen she’s only caring about herself.

She created a version of holly that lives in her mind, that just a stupid reckless little girl, that has no idea what’s she’s doing and completely ruining her life for her silly little dream. She knows nothing about holly and I wonder if she ever did!

And I wanna add that it seems like she’s doing this just to punish holly? I could’ve wrong and I probably am but it really does seem like she’s trying to bother holly.

for folks who don’t follow them on instagram— ally beardsley wrote part of an op-ed in the washington post for the 50th dnd anniversary about a moment playing dnd that really stuck with them and i wanted to share it here!

“a character’s journey — and my own”

I was an aspiring comedian in Los Angeles and had just landed a salaried job at the comedy website CollegeHumor. My co-worker and friend Brennan Lee Mulligan was looking for six comedians to create a show that would be like an at-home game of D&D. Why not? “Dimension 20” became a weird punctuation to my day.

I remember there being too many rules to remember. I kept turning to my friend, Brian Murphy, to ask which dice I should be rolling. I wasn’t paid overtime, but I loved the group and was having a lot of fun.

For the second season, I had my sea legs. I created a character for the campaign who was transgender. I had started going by the gender neutral they/them pronouns at work and among friends, but sourcing hormones or getting surgery seemed equal parts expensive and invasive. A fun thing about fantasy is stripping away the crunchy, real-world limitations and asking yourself: “What would I do if I could do anything?”

That season’s arc for my character, Pete, was extremely euphoric for me. I had described him as a trans cowboy you might see at Burning Man, and the artist drew him dressed as a freaky Hunter S. Thompson in an open shirt to show his top surgery scars. He has wild magic — uncontrollable and dangerous in the game mechanics — which we used to explore the painful chaos of leaving a family that doesn’t accept you.

Since then, I’ve started testosterone HRT and had top surgery. It’s funny to listen back to myself playing a character who had transitioned in ways I hadn’t. It’s full of inaccuracies that make me smile. Pete takes a testosterone pill every day; I now know it’s a weekly injection or a topical gel. I see my face, one wrapped up in playing something so new but instantly right. It was like an oracle. A near-future me who has health insurance! Who’s talked to their mom about being trans and even spent a week post-top surgery on that mom’s couch in Temecula, Calif!

As I started transitioning my appearance, seeing that in front of the camera felt raw. I was starting hormones, and my voice was cracking. Realizing it was all being recorded felt naked at times, but it has been really nice to talk to fans and friends about how important it is to see someone that looks like you taking a big risk on themself.

With Pete, it was really important to me to tell a story other than the dramatic lead-up to a medical transition. So we started with him having just gotten out of surgery, but that’s all you see of that process. Part of his backstory is that he doesn’t have a relationship with his transphobic parents, and before shooting the first episode, I felt sick to my stomach. I’ve been on a journey with my parents, and our starting place didn’t have much common ground. When my character meets with his father, it felt as though I was actually running into my own on the street.

Brennan could sense that discomfort, and as my character’s dad was about to call Pete by his deadname, Brennan shut the interaction down, surrounding his dad with bubbles that carried him into the sky. Magic is the power and freedom to manipulate your reality, and you can banish the awful voices in your life — let them swirl away into the air.

Thinking about how Pete used to be a priest and Kevin's (unnamed) mom was a nun. The fact that Pete was clearly stripped of his title. And we don't hear anything about Kevin's mother beyond the fact that she's dead. Thinking about how Diane says that she thinks of Pete as her "creepy uncle" and hates him. Thinking about how Kevin being born was likely a huge scandal for Pete and his mother and led to him being kicked out of the church. Thinking about how Pete doesn't seem to have any remorse at all for the potential abuse of power that occurred which led to Kevin's conception. Thinking about how Pete was the one most likely to make jokes objectifying women with Kevin. Thinking about how Kevin was likely raised believing he was some sort of miracle or chosen one, destined for great things solely because acknowledgment of the shame surrounding the circumstances of his birth would require Pete admitting fault. Thinking about how normalized it must have been in his childhood to see women being talked down to, objectified, sexualized and made into nothing more than plot devices to powerful men. Thinking about the sense of entitlement he must have had baked into him, and the deep fear hiding underneath all of it that one day everyone is going to realize he's his father's biggest skeleton in the closet. Thinking about this show having one of the most nuanced and complex portrayals of the cycle of abuse and patriarchal violence that I've ever seen!!!

I saw a headcanon that human!wiggly was using richie’s face during the summoning and I’m a little insane about it. Because if you think about it, it makes total sense.

“Why would Wiggly want to appear as a nerdy prude if his whole thing is power?” I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN BUT HEAR ME OUT.

Do you know how terrifying it would be to see your dead friend’s body being repurposed and puppeted in front of you? You’d be horrified. And that’s what Wiggly wants, in a way. He wants to be feared. If his human form was just another jock, it wouldn’t be as scary would it? After everything Steph, Pete, and Grace had gone through, another jock probably wouldn’t have had much effect on them. But their friend? Who they didn’t even get to fully mourn?? It’s like salt in the wound. They’d be vulnerable. Weak.

And don’t even get me started on the talking mannerisms?? In the boys bathroom scene when Richie says “and what, pray tell, may that be, Stephanie?” it’s the EXACT same way Wiggly says “What’s in your pocket Stephanie?”

To conclude, I love being insane about minuscule details 👍
